Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owner.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent and any other agent of the
Issuer, the Note Insurer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note (a) on the
applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of the principal
of and interest on such Note and (b) on any other date for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent
nor any other agent of the Issuer, the Note Insurer or the Indenture Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.10. Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange
or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Note
Registrar, be delivered to the Note Registrar and shall be promptly canceled
by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Note Registrar for
cancellation any Note previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which
the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar. No Notes shall
be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All
canceled Notes held by the Note Registrar shall be held by the Note Registrar
in accordance with its standard retention policy, unless the Issuer shall
direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it.
Section 2.11. Authentication and Delivery of Notes.
The Notes shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Owner

Authenticating Agent of all of the following:
(a) An Issuer Order authorizing the execution, authentication and delivery
of the Notes and specifying the Final Maturity Date, the principal amount and

In rendering the opinions set forth above, such counsel may rely upon
officer's certificates of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee, without independent confirmation or verification with
respect to factual matters relevant to such opinions. In rendering the
opinions set forth above, such counsel need express no opinion as to (A) the
existence of, or the priority of the security interest created by the
Indenture against, any liens or other interests that arise by operation of
law and that do not require any filing or similar action in order to take
priority over a perfected security interest or (B) the priority of the
security interest created by this Indenture with respect to any claim or lien
in favor of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof
(including federal tax liens and liens arising under Title IV of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974).

delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer at the Closing Date
shall be conclusively evidenced by the delivery on the Closing Date of the
Insurance Policy.

is bound, or any order of any court or administrative agency entered in
any proceeding to which the Issuer is a party or by which it may be
bound or to which it may be subject, and that all conditions precedent
provided in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery
of the Notes have been complied with;
(ii) the Issuer is the owner of each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any
lien, security interest or charge, has not assigned any interest or
participation in any such Mortgage Loan (or, if any such interest or

Schedule I to this Indenture is correct;
(iv) the Issuer has Granted to the Indenture Trustee all of its right, title

Section 2.12. Book-Entry Note.
The Notes will be issued initially as one or more certificates in the
name of the Cede & Co., as nominee for the Clearing Agency maintaining
book-entry records with respect to ownership and transfer of such Notes, and
held by the Clearing Agency or, pursuant to the Clearing Agency's
instructions on behalf of the Clearing Agency, deposited with the Indenture
Trustee, and registration of the Notes may not be transferred by the Note
Registrar except upon Book-Entry Termination. In such case, the Note
Registrar shall deal with the Clearing Agency as representatives of the
Beneficial Owners of such Notes for purposes of exercising the rights of
Noteholders hereunder. Each payment of principal of and interest on a
Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Clearing Agency, which shall credit the
amount of such payments to the accounts of its Clearing Agency Participants
in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Clearing Agency Participant
shall be responsible for disbursing such payments to the Beneficial Owners of
the Book-Entry Notes that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for
which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Notes that it
represents. All such credits and disbursements are to be made by the
Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes. None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar,
if any, the Issuer, or any Paying Agent or the Note Insurer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.
Requests and directions from, and votes of, such representatives shall not be
deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Beneficial Owners.
Section 2.13. Termination of Book Entry System.
(a) The book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes may be terminated upon the happening of any of the following:
(i) The Clearing Agency advises the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing
Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as nominee and depositary with respect to the Notes
and the Indenture Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor
clearing agency satisfactory to the Issuer;
(ii) The Issuer, in its sole discretion, elects to terminate the book-entry
system by notice to the Clearing Agency and the Indenture Trustee; or
(iii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default (at which time the
Indenture Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts to promptly notify
each Beneficial Owner through the Clearing Agency of such Event of
Default), the Beneficial Owners of no less than 51% of the Note Balance
of the Book-Entry Notes advise the Indenture Trustee in writing,
through the related Clearing Agency Participants and the Clearing
Agency, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency to the exclusion of any Definitive Notes being issued
to any person other than the Clearing Agency or its nominee is no
longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners.
-34-
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event described in subsection (a) above, the
Indenture Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts to notify all Beneficial
Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of such event and of
the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the
same, in an aggregate Current Note Balance representing the interest of each,
making such adjustments and allowances as it may find necessary or
appropriate as to accrued interest and previous calls for redemption.
Definitive Notes shall be issued only upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee
of the global Note by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions for the Definitive Notes. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon issuance of the Definitive Notes, all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall
cease to be applicable and the provisions relating to Definitive Notes shall
be applicable.
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
Section 3.01. Payment of Notes.
The Issuer will pay or cause to be duly and punctually paid the
principal of, and interest on, the Notes in accordance with the terms of the
Notes and this Indenture. The Notes shall be non-recourse obligations of the
Issuer and shall be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the
Trust Estate as provided in this Indenture and the Issuer shall not otherwise
be liable for payments on the Notes. No person shall be personally liable
for any amounts payable under the Notes. If any other provision of this
Indenture conflicts or is deemed to conflict with the provisions of this
Section 3.01, the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall control.
Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Issuer will cause the Note Registrar to maintain its corporate
trust office at a location where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.
The Issuer may also from time to time at its own expense designate one
or more other offices or agencies within the United States of America where
the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and
may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, any
designation of an office or agency for payment of Notes shall be subject to
Section 3.03. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture
Trustee and the Note Insurer of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.
Section 3.03. Money for Note Payments to Be Held In Trust.
All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that
are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Account pursuant to
Section 8.02(c) or Section 5.07 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Note Account for payments
of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer under any circumstances except as
provided in this Section 3.03 or in Section 5.07 or Section 8.02.
-35-
With respect to Definitive Notes, if the Issuer shall have a Paying
Agent that is not also the Note Registrar, such Note Registrar shall furnish,
no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date, a list, in such
form as such Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses
of the Holders of Notes and of the number of Individual Notes held by each
such Holder.
Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Indenture
Trustee, it will, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment
Date direct the Indenture Trustee to deposit with such Paying Agent an
aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent
funds are then available for such purpose in the Note Account), such sum to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. Any moneys
deposited with a Paying Agent in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the
amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was
made shall, upon Issuer Order, be paid over by such Paying Agent to the
Indenture Trustee for application in accordance with Article VIII.
Subject to the prior consent of the Note Insurer, any Paying Agent
other than the Indenture Trustee may be appointed by Issuer Order and at the
expense of the Issuer. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other
than the Indenture Trustee) that is not, at the time of such appointment, a
depository institution or trust company whose obligations would be Permitted
Investments pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of the term Permitted
Investments. The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the
Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee
(and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees),
subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:
(1) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes on each
Payment Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the
applicable Payment Date Statement, in each case to the extent permitted
by applicable law;
(2) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to
the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(3) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, immediately resign
as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums
held by it in trust for the payment of the Notes if at any time the
Paying Agent ceases to meet the standards set forth above required to
be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;
(4) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, give the Indenture
Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon
the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with
respect to any Notes for which it is acting as Paying Agent;
(5) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during
the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the
Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent; and
-36-
(6) comply with all requirements of the Code, and all regulations
thereunder, with respect to withholding from any payments made by it on
any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with
respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection
therewith; provided, however, that with respect to withholding and
reporting requirements applicable to original issue discount (if any)
on any of the Notes, the Issuer has provided the calculations
pertaining thereto to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent, if other than the Indenture Trustee, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums
to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which
such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying
Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.
Any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust
for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining
unclaimed for two and one-half years after such amount has become due and
payable to the Holder of such Note (or if earlier, three months before the
date on which such amount would escheat to a governmental entity under
applicable law) shall be discharged from such trust and paid to the Issuer;
and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent
of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon
cease. The Indenture Trustee may adopt and employ, at the expense of the
Issuer, any reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including,
but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes
have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right
to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from
the records of the Indenture Trustee or any Agent, at the last address of
record for each such Holder).
Section 3.04. Existence of Issuer.
(a) Subject to Sections 3.04(b) and (c) and Section 6.2(a)(ii) of the
Deposit Trust Agreement, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware or under the laws of any other state or the United States of
America, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the
Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Contribution Agreement.
(b) Subject to Section 3.09(vii), the prior written consent of the Note
Insurer, and written notice to the Rating Agencies, any entity into which the
Issuer may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Issuer shall be a
party, shall be the successor Issuer under this Indenture without the
execution or filing of any paper, instrument or further act to be done on the
part of the parties hereto, anything in any agreement relating to such merger
or consolidation, by which any such Issuer may seek to retain certain powers,
rights and privileges therefore obtaining for any period of time following
such merger or consolidation to the contrary notwithstanding (other than
Section 3.09(vii)).
-37-
(c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other succession to the Issuer
in accordance with this Section 3.04, the Person formed by or surviving such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) may exercise every right
and power of, and shall have all of the obligations of, the Issuer under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Issuer
herein.
Section 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate.
(a) The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other
instruments, and will take such other action as may be necessary or advisable
to:

the other property held as part of the Trust Estate against the claims
of all Persons and parties.

that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other
writing from the jurisdiction in which it was held, or to which it is
intended to be removed, as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at
the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.1l(c), or cause or permit ownership or
the pledge of any portion of the Trust Estate that consists of book-entry
securities to be recorded on the books of a Person located in a different
jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such ownership or pledge was
recorded at such time unless the Indenture Trustee shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest
created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be
maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.
Section 3.06. Annual Opinions as to Collateral.
On or before December 31st in each calendar year, beginning in 200 ,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such
action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and
refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other
requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain
the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the
details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such
action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such
Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording

other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such
counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this

ARTICLE V
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 5.01. Event of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means, with respect to Notes
issued hereunder, any one of the following events (whatever the reason for
such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of
any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body):
(1) if the Issuer shall default in the payment on any Payment Date of any
Required Payment Amount or fail to pay the Notes in full on or before
the Final Maturity Date (and in the case of any such default, such
default or failure shall continue for a period of 5 days unremedied);
(2) if the Issuer shall breach or default in the due observance of any one
or more of the covenants set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) of
Section 3.09;
(3) if the Issuer shall breach, or default in the due observance or
performance of, any other of its covenants in this Indenture, and such
Default shall continue for a period of 30 days after there shall have
been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer and the Note
Insurer by the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Note Insurer,
or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes
representing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes,
with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, a written notice
specifying such Default and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;
(4) if any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture
or any certificate or other writing, delivered by the Issuer pursuant
hereto or in connection herewith shall prove to be incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made and,
within 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or
certified mail, written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Note
Insurer by the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Note Insurer,
or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes
representing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes,
with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, the circumstance or
condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was
incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured; provided,
however, that in the event that there exists a remedy with respect to
any such breach that consists of a purchase obligation, repurchase
obligation or right to substitute under the Basic Documents, then such
purchase obligation, repurchase obligation or right to substitute shall
be the sole remedy with respect to such breach and shall not constitute
an Event of Default hereunder;
-43-
(5) the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having
jurisdiction in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other
present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or of
any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer and the continuance of any
such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
consecutive days;
(6) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under the federal
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or
future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or the
consent by the Issuer to the appointment of or taking possession by a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its
property or the making by the Issuer of an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as
such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer
in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
(7) the occurrence of an "event of default" under the Insurance Agreement.
The payment by the Note Insurer of any Insured Payment in an amount
sufficient to cover the related Required Payment Amount pursuant to the
Insurance Policy in respect of any Payment Date shall, at the option of the
Note Insurer, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such
case, but in each case only with the consent of the Note Insurer in the
absence of a Note Insurer Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and on request
of the Holders of Notes representing not less than 50% of the Note Balance of
the Outstanding Notes, shall, declare all the Notes to be immediately due and
payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if
given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration such Notes, in an amount
equal to the Note Balance of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of such acceleration, shall become immediately
due and payable, all subject to the prior written consent of the Note Insurer
in the absence of a Note Insurer Default.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of maturity of the
Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article
provided the Note Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing more than 50%
of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, with the prior written consent
of the Note Insurer, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
-44-
(1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:
(A) all payments of principal of, and interest on, all Notes and all other
amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if
the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not
occurred; and
(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of
Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured
or waived as provided in Section 5.14.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 and the following sentence,
if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall
(at the direction of the Note Insurer) and may, with the prior written
consent of the Note Insurer, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and
the rights of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer by any Proceedings the
Indenture Trustee deems appropriate to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or enforce
any other proper remedy. Any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer or any Noteholder against the
Issuer shall be limited to the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure of
the liens, assignments, rights and security interests under the Indenture and
no attachment, execution or other unit or process shall be sought, issued or
levied upon any assets, properties or funds of the Issuer, other than the
Trust Estate relative to the Notes in respect of which such Event of Default
has occurred. If there is a foreclosure of any such liens, assignments,
rights and security interests under this Indenture, by private power of sale
or otherwise, no judgment for any deficiency upon the indebtedness
represented by the Notes may be sought or obtained by the Indenture Trustee
or any Noteholder against the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to recover the costs and expenses expended by it pursuant to this
Article V including reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 5.04. Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the
Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee, at
the direction of the Note Insurer (subject to Section 5.17, to the extent
applicable) shall, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer,
do one or more of the following:
-45-
(a) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on
the Notes, or under this Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise,
enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer moneys adjudged
due, subject in all cases to the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 5.03;
(b) in accordance with Section 5.17, sell the Trust Estate or any portion
thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;
(c) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(d) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
Code and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and the
Note Insurer hereunder; and
(e) refrain from selling the Trust Estate and apply all Remittable Funds
pursuant to Section 5.07.
Section 5.05. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or other judicial
Proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon any of the Notes
or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors,
the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the Notes shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Issuer for the payment of any overdue principal or interest) shall, with
the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise to:
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and file such other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Noteholders and the Note
Insurer allowed in such Proceeding, and
(ii) collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, or sequestrator (or other similar
official) in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Noteholder and the Note Insurer to make such payments to the Indenture
Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders and the Note
Insurer, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel.
-46-
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Noteholder or the Note Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting any of the Notes or the rights of any
Holder thereof, or the Note Insurer, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or the Note Insurer in any
such Proceeding.
Section 5.06. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Notes.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding
relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Indenture
Trustee, at the direction of the Note Insurer, shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be
for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered after payment of amounts
required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) Section 5.07.
Section 5.07. Application of Money Collected.
If the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Article or otherwise and any other monies that may then be held or thereafter
received by the Indenture Trustee as security shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in
case of the payment of the entire amount due on account of principal of, and
interest on, the Notes, upon presentation and surrender thereof:
(i) to the Servicer and Indenture Trustee, the unpaid Monthly Servicing Fee
and Indenture Trustee's Fee due under this Indenture;
(ii) to the Servicer any Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances previously

under the Servicing Agreement;
(iii) to the PMI Insurer, the amount owing to the PMI Insurer for the premium
payable in respect of the PMI Mortgage Loans;

Insurance Agreement for reimbursement for prior draws made on the
Insurance Policy in respect of the Notes and any other amounts owing to
the Note Insurer under the Insurance Agreement (including any unpaid
Note Insurer Premium in respect of the Notes);
-47-
(viii) to the Noteholders, the Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount,
if any, due under this Indenture;
(ix) to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Servicing

(x) to the payment of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, up to the
amount of their Current Note Balances, without preference or priority
of any kind;
Section 5.08. Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of a Note shall have any right to institute any Proceedings,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture
Trustee and the Note Insurer of a continuing Event of Default;
(2) the Holders of Notes representing not less than 25% of the Note Balance
of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the
Indenture Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity
in full against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;
(4) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
Proceeding;
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of Notes
representing more than 50% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding
Notes; and
(6) the consent of the Note Insurer shall have been obtained; it being
understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes.
-48-
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of
Notes, each representing less than 50% of the Note Balances of the
Outstanding Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine
what action, if any, shall be taken notwithstanding any other provision
herein to the contrary.
Section 5.09. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal
and Interest.
Subject to the provisions in this Indenture (including Sections 3.01
and 5.03) limiting the right to recover amounts due on a Note to recovery
from amounts in the Trust Estate, the Holder of any Note shall have the
right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, which right is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of each installment of interest on such
Note on the respective Payment Date for such installments of interest, to
receive payment of each installment of principal of such Note when due (or,
in the case of any Note called for redemption, on the date fixed for such
redemption) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or any Noteholder has
instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture
and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or to
such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Noteholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of
the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture
Trustee, the Note Insurer or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or of
any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and
remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer
or by the Noteholders with the prior consent of the Note Insurer, as the case
may be.
-49-
Section 5.13. Control by Noteholders.
The Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Balance of
the Outstanding Notes on the applicable Record Date shall, with the consent
of the Note Insurer, have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided
that:
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture;
(2) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Trust
Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing the percentage of
the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes specified in
Section 5.17(b)(1), unless Section 5.17(b)(2) is applicable; and
(3) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;
provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee
need not take any action that it determines might involve it in
liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not consenting.
Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Balance of
the Outstanding Notes on the applicable Record Date may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, and with the consent of the Note Insurer, waive any
past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:
(1) in the payment of principal or any installment of interest on any Note;
or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 9.02
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by
any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to
any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in
the aggregate Notes representing more than 10% of the Note Balance of the
Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of any Required Payment Amount on any Note on or
after the related Payment Date or for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of any Note on or after the Final Maturity Date (or, in the case of
any Note called for redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).
-50-
Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension of law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants
in, or the performance of, this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.
Section 5.17. Sale of Trust Estate.
(a) The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust
Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 shall not be exhausted by any one or more
Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall
continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all
amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto
shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone
any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such
Sale.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Indenture Trustee shall not (unless
directed by the Note Insurer) in any private Sale sell or otherwise dispose
of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:
(1) the Holders of Notes representing not less than 50% of the Note Balance
of the Notes then Outstanding consent to or direct the Indenture
Trustee to make such Sale; or
(2) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount that
would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in full payment thereof
in accordance with Section 5.07, on the Payment Date next succeeding
the date of such Sale.
The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the
Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or disposition
thereof for purposes of this Section 5.17(b). In the absence of a Note
Insurer Default, no sale hereunder shall be effective without the consent of
the Note Insurer.
(c) Unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes have otherwise consented or
directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of
the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount
described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.17 has not
been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal
to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee, acting in its capacity
as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall prevent such sale
and bid an amount (which shall include the Indenture Trustee's right, in its
capacity as Indenture Trustee, to credit bid) at least $1.00 more than the
highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate on behalf of the
Noteholders.
-51-
(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:
(1) any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property
offered for Sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold,
retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further
accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver
any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up
to the amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such
Sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so
payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to
show such partial payment;
(2) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for
Sale in connection with any public Sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying
cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount that would be
payable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such Sale in
accordance with Section 5.07 on the Payment Date next succeeding the
date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any
Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it,
without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any
such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against
such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall
be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture;
(3) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of
the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof,
(4) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in
any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and
to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and
(5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain
the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.
Section 5.18. Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment under this
Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of
any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien
of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the
Note Insurer or the Holders of Notes shall be impaired by the recovery of any
judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate.
-52-
Section 5.19. No Recourse to Other Trust Estates or Other Assets of the
Issuer.
The Trust Estate Granted to the Indenture Trustee as security for the
Notes serves as security only for the Notes. Holders of the Notes shall have
no recourse against the trust estate granted as security for any other series
of Notes issued by the Issuer, and no judgment against the Issuer for any
amount due with respect to the Notes may be enforced against either the trust
estate securing any other series or any other assets of the Issuer, nor may
any prejudgment lien or other attachment be sought against any such other
trust estate or any other assets of the Issuer.
Section 5.20. Application of the Trust Indenture Act.
Pursuant to Section 316(a) of the TIA, all provisions automatically
provided for in Section 316(a) are hereby expressly excluded.

examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

more than 50% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the
Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become
the successor Indenture Trustee and supersede the successor Indenture Trustee
appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been
so appointed by the Issuer, the Note Insurer or Noteholders and shall have
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf

instrument transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Indenture Trustee, and shall duly assign,

consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as
if such successor Indenture Trustee had authenticated such Notes.

the written request of the Indenture Trustee, of the Note Insurer or of the
Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Balance of the
Outstanding Notes with respect to which a co-trustee or separate trustee is
being appointed with the consent of the Note Insurer, the Issuer shall for
such purpose jointly with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery
and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee either to act
as co-trustee, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the

case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment,
and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any
property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the
other provisions of this Section. If the Issuer does not join in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or
in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. All fees and
expenses of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be payable by the Issuer.
-58-
Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such
co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and
all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Issuer.
Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:
(1) The Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers,
duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
deposited or pledged with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by the Indenture Trustee.
(2) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed
upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee and such
co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed
by such co-trustee or separate trustee.
(3) The Indenture Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing,
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by an
Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall
have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee
or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer upon the
written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with
the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such
resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate
trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided
in this Section.
(4) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any other
such trustee hereunder.

(5) Any Act of Noteholders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
trustee.
Section 6.14. Authenticating Agents.
The Issuer shall appoint an Authenticating Agent with power to act on
its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of
the Notes designated for such authentication by the Issuer and containing
provisions therein for such authentication (or with respect to which the
Issuer has made other arrangements, satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and
such Authenticating Agent, for notation on the Notes of the authority of an
Authenticating Agent appointed after the initial authentication and delivery
of such Notes) in connection with transfers and exchanges under Section 2.06,
as fully to all intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had
been expressly authorized by that Section to authenticate and deliver Notes.
For all purposes of this Indenture (other than in connection with the
authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.11 in
connection with their initial issuance), the authentication and delivery of
Notes by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to
be the authentication and delivery of Notes "by the Indenture Trustee." Such
Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Person that both meets the
requirements of Section 6.07 for the Indenture Trustee hereunder and has an
office for presentation of Notes in the United States of America. The
Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Authenticating Agent and shall be
the Note Registrar as provided in Section 2.06. The office from which the
Indenture Trustee shall perform its duties as Note Registrar and
Authenticating Agent shall be the Corporate Trust Office. Any Authenticating
Agent appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.14 or pursuant to the
terms of any supplemental indenture shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee as
a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such appointment an instrument
accepting the trusts, duties and responsibilities of Authenticating Agent and
of Note Registrar or co-Note Registrar and indemnifying the Indenture Trustee
for and holding the Indenture Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred without negligence
or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance, administration of the trust or exercise of authority by such
Authenticating Agent, Note Registrar or co-Note Registrar.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust
business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the
Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise
eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any further
act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such
successor corporation.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time terminate
the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Indenture Trustee, and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes.
-60-
The Indenture Trustee agrees, subject to Section 6.01(e), to pay to any
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for
such payments pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Servicing Agreement. The
provisions of Sections 2.09, 6.04 and 6.05 shall be applicable to any
Authenticating Agent.

Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to examine the related Mortgage
Loan Documents to confirm that:

Assignment, on the face or the reverse side(s) thereof, contains
evidence of any unsatisfied claims, liens, security interests,
encumbrances or restrictions on transfer;

Mortgage is identical to the original principal amount of the related
Mortgage Note;

first or second lien, senior in priority to all other deeds of trust,
mortgages, deeds to secure debt, financing statements and security
agreements and to any mechanics' liens, judgment liens or writs of
attachment other than the related senior lien, if applicable, (or if
the title insurance policy or certificate of title insurance has not
been issued, the written commitment for such insurance obligates the
insurer to issue such policy for an amount not less than the original
principal amount of the related Mortgage Note).
(b) Final Certification. On or before one year following the Closing Date,
the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Seller, the
Representative, the Depositor, the Note Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Servicer a Final Certification in the form attached as Exhibit E-2 to the
Custodial Agreement evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage File for each
Mortgage Loan, except as specifically noted on a schedule of exceptions
thereto.
(c) In giving each of the Initial Certification and the Final

any duty or obligation (1) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine that they or the
signatures thereto are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (2) to determine whether

addenda, surety or guaranty agreement, power of attorney, buy down agreement,
assumption agreement, modification agreement, written assurance or
substitution agreement.

Assignments or a copy thereof certified to be a true and correct copy by the
public recording office in possession of such Assignment.

or to amend any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, provided that such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders
of the Notes or the Holders of the Certificates; and provided, further,
that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of the Notes and the Note
Insurer if the Person requesting the amendment obtains letters from the
Rating Agencies that the amendment would not result in the downgrading
or withdrawal of the implied ratings then assigned to the Notes
(without taking into account the Insurance Policy); or
(6) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such
extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this
Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter
enacted, and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be
expressly required by the TIA.
Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders.
With the consent of the Note Insurer and with the consent of Holders of
Notes representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of all
Outstanding Notes by Act of said Holders delivered to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
affected thereby:
(1) change any Payment Date or the Final Maturity Date of the Notes or
reduce the principal amount thereof, the Note Interest Rate thereon or
the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the earliest date on
which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, change any
place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or
any interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit
for the enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest due
on any Note on or after the Final Maturity Date thereof or for the
enforcement of the payment of the entire remaining unpaid principal
amount of any Note on or after the Final Maturity Date (or, in the case
of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);
(2) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, the
consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any
waiver of compliance with provisions of this Indenture or Defaults
hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;
-75-
(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or
Section 5.17(b), except to increase any percentage specified therein or
to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby;
(4) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the
term "Outstanding";
(5) permit the creation of any lien other than the lien of this Indenture
with respect to any part of the Trust Estate (except for Permitted
Encumbrances) or terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property
at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the
security afforded by the lien of this Indenture;
(6) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to
affect the calculation of the Required Payment Amount for any Payment
Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of
such Required Payment Amount) or to affect rights of the Holders of the
Notes to the benefits of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of
Notes contained herein; or
(7) incur any indebtedness, other than the Notes, that would cause the
Issuer or the Trust Estate to be treated as a "taxable mortgage pool"
within the meaning of Code Section 7701(i).
The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not
any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good
faith.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such supplemental indenture
relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.
In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Issuer shall
cause executed copies of any Supplemental Indentures to be delivered to the
Rating Agencies and the Note Insurer.
-76-
Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes;
and every Holder of Notes to which such supplemental indenture relates that
have theretofore been or thereafter are authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.
Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act.
Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall
conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as this
Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.
Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.
Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the
Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.
Section 9.07. Amendments to Governing Documents.
The Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof,
upon Issuer Request, consent to any proposed amendment to the Issuer's
governing documents, or an amendment to or waiver of any provision of any
other document relating to the Issuer's governing documents, such consent to
be given without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Holders of any
Notes upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of:
(i) an Officers' Certificate, to which such proposed amendment or waiver
shall be attached, stating that such attached copy is a true copy of
the proposed amendment or waiver and that all conditions precedent to
such consent specified in this Section 9.07 have been satisfied; and
(ii) written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the implementation
of the proposed amendment or waiver will not adversely affect their
implied ratings of the Notes (without taking into account the Insurance
Policy).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may decline to
consent to a proposed waiver or amendment that adversely affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
-77-
Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall be construed to require that any
Person obtain the consent of the Indenture Trustee to any amendment or waiver
or any provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the
giving of such waiver without obtaining the consent of the Indenture Trustee
is not prohibited by this Indenture or by the terms of the document that is
the subject of the proposed amendment or waiver.
ARTICLE X
REDEMPTION OF NOTES
Section 10.01. Redemption.
(a) All the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on or after
the Initial Redemption Date at the Redemption Price at the option of the
holders of a majority of the ownership interest of the Issuer (the "Residual
Majority"), or at the option of the Servicer if the Residual Majority shall
not have exercised its option to direct the Servicer to redeem the Notes on
such Redemption Date or, if such option is not exercised by the Servicer, at
the option of the Note Insurer; provided, however, that funds in an amount
equal to the Redemption Price, plus any amounts owed to the Note Insurer
under the Insurance Agreement, any unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Advances and
any unreimbursed amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee hereunder,
must have been deposited with the Indenture Trustee prior to the Indenture
Trustee's giving notice of such redemption pursuant to Section 10.02 or the
Issuer shall have complied with the requirements for satisfaction and
discharge of the Notes specified in Section 4.01. Notice of the election to
redeem the Notes shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee not later than
thirty (30) days prior to the Payment Date selected for such redemption,
whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on such Payment Date upon
the furnishing of a notice pursuant to Section 10.02 to each Holder of such
Notes and the Note Insurer. Any expenses associated with the compliance of
the provisions hereof in connection with a redemption of the Notes shall be
paid by the Note Insurer or the Servicer, depending upon which party redeems
the Notes. In no event shall the Note Insurer redeem the Notes unless the
proceeds received from the Note Insurer would be not less than the greater of
(x) the entire amount that would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in
full payment thereof on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such
Sale and (y) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans as of the related
Payment Date. Upon the redemption of the Notes, Mortgage Loans in the Trust
Estate shall be released and delivered to the Issuer.
(b) Upon receipt of the notice from the Servicer or the Note Insurer of its
election to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Indenture
Trustee shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Note
Insurer, no later than the related Redemption Date, a Payment Date Statement
stating therein that it has determined that the conditions to redemption at
the option of the Servicer or Note Insurer have been satisfied and setting
forth the amount, if any, to be withdrawn from each Note Account and paid to
the Servicer as reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Advances and such other
information as may be required to accomplish such redemption.
Section 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice.
-78-
Notice of redemption shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the
name of and at the expense of the Issuer by first class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than ten days prior to the Redemption Date to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed, such Holders being determined as of the
Record Date for such Payment Date, and to the Note Insurer.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price at which the Notes of such Series will be redeemed,
(3) the fact of payment in full on such Notes, the place where such Notes
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall
be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.02), and that no interest shall accrue on such Note for any
period after the date fixed for redemption.
Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any
Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the
validity of the redemption of any other Note.
Section 10.03. Notes Payable on Optional Redemption.
Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 10.02,
the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the applicable Redemption Date, become due
and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in
the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on such
Redemption Price for any period after such Redemption Date; provided,
however, that if such Redemption Price is not paid on the Redemption Date,
the Note Balance shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at
the Note Interest Rate.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
(a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer an Officers'
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in
this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an
Opinion of Counsel (with a copy to the Note Insurer), if requested by the
Indenture Trustee, stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the
case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such
documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture
relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate
or opinion need be furnished.
(b) Every certificate, opinion or letter with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture, including one furnished
pursuant to specific requirements of this Indenture relating to a particular
application or request (other than certificates provided pursuant to TIA
Section 314(a)(4)) shall include and shall be deemed to include (regardless
of whether specifically stated therein) the following:
-79-
(1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate, opinion or
letter has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto;
(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate, opinion or letter are based;
(3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made
such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to
express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
condition has been complied with; and
(4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and
one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the
written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel
shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall
include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such
counsel and the Indenture Trust may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such
other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the
Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such
application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof,
it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of
such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as
the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in
such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such
application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The
foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's
right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion
contained in any such document as provided in Section 6.01(b)(2).
-80-
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition
precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request
or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of
such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to make such
request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in
accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of
the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as
provided in Section 6.01(d).
Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an
agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if
made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or
by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to
take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such
instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership
on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit
shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor
or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be
done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or
not notation of such action is made upon such Notes.
Section 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and
Issuer.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:
(1) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with and received by the Indenture Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office and at [address]; or
-81-
(2) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in
Section 5.01(3) and (4)) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at
Loan Trust 200 - ), in care of , [address], Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer; or
(3) the Note Insurer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid, to

Series 200 - ), or at any other address previously furnished in writing
to the Indenture Trustee by the Note Insurer; or
(4) the Depositor by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage paid, to Wachovia Mortgage Loan Trust, LLC,
[address], Attention: , or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the
Depositor; or
(5) the Seller or the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage paid, to , [address],
Attention: General Counsel or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Seller or the
Servicer; or
(6) the Underwriters by any party or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient

be designed by written notice to the other parties.
Section 11.05. Notices and Reports to Noteholders; Waiver of Notices.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event or
the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event or to
whom such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Noteholder
as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or
the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to
Noteholders is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to
mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed,
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or
report with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice or report that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given or provided.
-82-
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be
impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is
required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.06. Rules by Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of
Noteholders.
Section 11.07. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act.
If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of
the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.
Section 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 11.09. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind
its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.10. Separability.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, any separate trustee or Co-trustee appointed under Section 6.14,
the Note Insurer and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
-83-
Section 11.12. Legal Holidays.
In any case where the date of any Payment Date, Redemption Date or any
other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be
paid shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision
of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date, Redemption
Date or other date for the payment of principal of or interest on any Note
and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal
date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business
Day.
Section 11.13. Governing Law.
IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT NOTEHOLDERS ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN MANY
STATES AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND THE DESIRE TO ESTABLISH WITH
CERTAINTY THAT THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF A STATE HAVING A WELL-DEVELOPED
BODY OF COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL LAW RELEVANT TO TRANSACTIONS OF THE TYPE
CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE 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.
Section 11.14. Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.15. Recording of Indenture.
This Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public
recording offices, such recording to be effected by the Issuer and at its
expense in compliance with any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) or 3.06.
Section 11.16. Issuer Obligation.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered
in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or
obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to,
and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust
Agreement.
-84-
Section 11.17. No Petition.
The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each
Noteholder and Beneficial Owner, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the
Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee will on behalf of the holders of the Notes, (a) file a
written objection to any motion or other proceeding seeking the substantive
consolidation of the Seller with, or the Issuer, (b) file an
appropriate memorandum of points and authorities or other brief in support of
such objection, or (c) endeavor to establish at the hearing on such objection
that the substantive consolidation of such entity would be materially
prejudicial to the Noteholders.
This Section 11.17 will survive for one year and one day following the
termination of this Indenture.
Section 11.18. Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all of books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent Accountants
selected by the Indenture Trustee or the Note Insurer, as the case may be,
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers,
employees and Independent Accountants (and by this provision the Issuer
hereby authorizes its Accountants to discuss with such representatives such
affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as
may be reasonably requested. Any expense incident to the exercise by the
Indenture Trustee of any right under this Section 11.18 shall be borne by the
Issuer.
Section 11.19. Usury.
The amount of interest payable or paid on any Note under the terms of
this Indenture shall be limited to an amount that shall not exceed the
maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the
United States or the State of New York (whichever shall permit the higher
rate), that could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the
"Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on any Note
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Issuer stipulates that such excess
amount will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part
of both the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holder of such Note,
and the Issuer, and the Holder receiving such excess payment shall promptly,
upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of the
Indenture Trustee, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Note,
if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Notes for the use,
forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the
full term of such Notes.
-85-
Section 11.20. Third Party Beneficiary.
The Note Insurer is intended as a third party beneficiary of this
Indenture shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Note Insurer;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as a Note Insurer
Default is continuing with respect to its obligations under the Insurance
Policy, the Noteholders shall succeed to the Note Insurer's rights

[ ] LOAN TRUST 200 -
NOTES, SERIES 200 - , CLASS
Loan Trust 200 - , a statutory trust
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein
referred to as the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $___________ payable
on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying
(i) a fraction the numerator of which is $___________ and the denominator of
which is $_____________ (this Note's "Percentage Interest") by (ii) the
aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Note Account in respect of
principal on the Notes pursuant to the Indenture dated as of
, between the Issuer and , a
national banking association, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee");
provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall
be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Payment Date occurring in
December 2030 (the "Final Maturity Date"), (ii) the Redemption Date, if any,
pursuant to Article X of the Indenture or (iii) the date on which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Notes have been
declared to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 5.02 of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
are defined in Article I of the Indenture.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the
25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the Business
Day immediately following such 25th day (each a "Payment Date"), commencing
on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Note is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, in
an amount equal to the product of (a) the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Note and (b) the sum of the amounts to be paid on Notes with respect to
such Payment Date, all as more specifically set forth in the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Definitive Notes, upon
written request at least five days prior to the related Record Date with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note (holding an aggregate
initial Note Balance of at least $1,000,000), any payment of principal or
interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be
made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such
Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.
Payments of principal and interest on the Notes will be made on each
Payment Date to Noteholders of record as of the related Record Date. On each
Payment Date, Noteholders will be entitled to receive interest payments in an
aggregate amount equal to the related Note Interest for such Payment Date,
together with principal payments in an aggregate amount equal to the Monthly
Principal plus, until the Overcollateralization Amount is equal to the
Required Overcollateralization Amount, Excess Cash, if any, for such Payment
Date. The "Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal
to the initial principal balance thereof as of the Closing Date, reduced by
the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on
account of principal.
The principal of and interest on this Note 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 payments made by the
Issuer with respect to this Note shall be applied first to interest due and
payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of
this Note.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Mortgage Backed Notes, Series 200 - , Class , issued
under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
of the Notes. To the extent that any provision of this Note contradicts or is
inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent
provision herein. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.
The Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Mortgage
Loans and the other collateral related thereto pledged as security therefor
as provided in the Indenture.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Maturity Date and the
Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Article X of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee, at the direction or
upon the prior written consent of Financial Security Assurance Inc. (the
"Note Insurer") in the absence of a Note Insurer Default, or the Holders of
the Notes representing not less than 50% of the Note Balance of the
Outstanding Notes (with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer in the
absence of a Note Insurer Default), shall have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders entitled thereto.
A-2
The Note Insurer in consideration of the payment of the premium and
subject to the terms of the Note Guaranty Insurance Policy (the "Insurance
Policy") thereby has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the payment
of the Insured Payments.
Pursuant to the Indenture, unless a Note Insurer Default exists (i) the
Note Insurer shall be deemed to be the holder of the Notes for certain
purposes specified in the Indenture and will be entitled to exercise all
rights of the Noteholders thereunder, including the rights of Noteholders
relating to the occurrence of, and the remedies with respect to, an Event of
Default, without the consent of such Noteholders, and (ii) the Indenture
Trustee may take actions which would otherwise be at its option or within its
discretion, including actions relating to the occurrence of, and the remedies
with respect to, an Event of Default, only at the direction of the Note
Insurer. In addition, on each Payment Date, after the Noteholders have been
paid all amounts to which they are entitled, the Note Insurer will be
entitled to be reimbursed for any unreimbursed draws under the Insurance
Policy, paid Note Insurer Premium (each with interest thereon at the "Late
Payment Rate" specified in the Insurance Agreement) and any other amounts
owed under the Insurance Policy.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in
the Trust Estate and payments under the Insurance Policy will be sole source
of payments on the Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this
Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to
amounts available from the Trust Estate and the Insurance Policy as provided
in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of
the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the
Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date,
together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full
payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name
appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the
Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.),
payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the
Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the
Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this
Note be submitted for notation of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of Definitive Notes, upon written request at least five days prior
to the related Record Date with appropriate instructions by the Holder of
this Note (holding an aggregate initial Note Balance of at least $1,000,000),
any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of
principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the
United States designated by such Holder reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or
any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any
Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or
in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be
available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the
Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify
the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such
Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such
Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal
Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent
appointed for such purposes.
A-3
As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but
not in part, at the option of the Issuer, on any Payment Date on and after
the date on which the Note Balance is less than 10% of the Original Note
Balance.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the
office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in
the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other
"signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in
addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service
charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this
Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
such registration of transfer or exchange.
The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless
the Note Registrar has received a representation letter from the transferee
to the effect that either (i) the transferee is not, and is not acquiring the
Note on behalf of or with the assets of, an employee benefit plan or other
retirement plan or arrangement that is subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act or 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the
Code or (ii) the acquisition and holding of this Note by the transferee
qualifies for exemptive relief under a Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption. Each Beneficial Owner, by acceptance of a
beneficial interest herein, shall be deemed to make one of the foregoing
representations.
Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Beneficial Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on
the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.
A-4
Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Beneficial Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or
Beneficial Owner will not at any time institute against the or
the Issuer, or join in any institution against the or the Issuer
of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture,
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Contribution Agreement,
the Servicing Agreement, the Management Agreement, the Insurance Agreement
and the Indemnification Agreement (the "Basic Documents").
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and
each Beneficial Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note),
agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day
of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer with the consent of the Note Insurer and the Holders of
Notes representing a majority of the Note Balance of all Outstanding Notes.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the (i) Note Insurer or
(ii) if a Note Insurer Default exists, the Holders of Notes representing
specified percentages of the Note Balance of Outstanding Notes, on behalf of
the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Note Insurer or by the
Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, or the waiver of certain terms and
conditions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of Holders of the
Notes issued thereunder.

therein set forth. The Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate initial
Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.
THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
