following rules of this subsection (c) apply unless the context requires
otherwise. The singular includes the plural and conversely. A gender includes
all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have
a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Annex or Exhibit
is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, Annex or Exhibit
to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another
agreement or document includes the party's successors and permitted substitutes
or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document is to the agreement or
document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the
extent prohibited by any Program Document. A reference to legislation or to a
provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a

instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes a facsimile
transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently
visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission,
statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. An Event of Default
subsists until it has been waived in writing by Buyer. The words "hereof",
"herein", "hereunder" and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term "including" is not
limiting and means "including without limitation." In the computation of periods
of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word "from" means

otherwise provided in this Agreement any determination, statement or certificate

Agreement, the relevant document may be provided in writing or printed or
electronic form unless Buyer requests otherwise. This Agreement is the result of
negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsel to Buyer and Sellers, and is
the product of all parties. In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of
construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party
proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this
Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except where otherwise expressly stated
Buyer may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and
may form opinions, make determinations and exercise discretion at its absolute
discretion. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Buyer shall
not be construed to require Buyer to request or await receipt of information or
documentation not

                                     - 15 -

immediately available from or with respect to Sellers, a servicer of the
Purchased Assets, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves.

3.    THE TRANSACTIONS

      (a)   The related Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets from Buyer on
each related Repurchase Date. Such obligation to repurchase subsists without
regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to
each Purchased Asset. The related Seller is obligated to obtain the Purchased
Assets from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at its own expense
on the related Repurchase Date. On each Repurchase Date, the related Seller
shall remit or shall cause to be remitted to the Buyer the Repurchase Price
together with Breakage Costs, if any. If a Seller repurchases Purchased Assets
on any day prior to the related Repurchase Date, on such day, such Seller shall
remit or cause to be remitted to the Buyer the Repurchase Price in full together
with Breakage Costs, if any. The related Seller shall give at least one (1)
Business Days' prior written notice to Buyer if such repurchase shall occur on a
date other than the related Repurchase Date.

      (b)   Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 9(a) and (b)
have been satisfied, the related Seller may request that each Purchased Asset
that is to be repurchased by a Seller on the Repurchase Date become subject to a
new Transaction by delivering notice of such request to Buyer at least one (1)
Business Day prior to any such Repurchase Date, provided that if the Repurchase
Date so determined is later than the Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for
such Transaction shall automatically reset to the Termination Date, and the
provisions of this sentence as it might relate to a new Transaction shall expire
on such date. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued
and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related
Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing
Side Letter.

      (c)   If (i) Buyer locks in the rate of LIBOR at the request of a Seller
for a fixed period of thirty (30) days from the related Purchase Date in a
Transaction Notice and such Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on an earlier
date or (ii) a Seller repurchases related Purchased Assets on any day which is
not a Repurchase Date for such Purchased Assets, such Seller shall indemnify
Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer
may sustain or incur arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer
hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained ("Breakage Costs"), in each case for the remainder of the thirty
(30) day period, as applicable. Buyer shall deliver to such Seller a statement
setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in
such detail as determined in good faith by Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed
that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Seller absent manifest error. This
Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all
Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

                                     - 16 -

4.    ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS; TRANSACTION NOTICE, CONFIRMATIONS

      a.    Under the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, Buyer may
enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price outstanding at any time
up to but not exceeding the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. Unless otherwise
agreed, the related Seller shall give Buyer and Custodian notice of any proposed
Purchase Date in accordance with the Custodial Agreement (the date on which such
notice is so given, the "Notice Date"). On the Notice Date, the related Seller
shall (i) request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by furnishing to Buyer and
Custodian a Transaction Notice and Loan Schedule, (ii) deliver to Buyer a
Computer Tape containing the information set forth in Exhibit C hereto under the
"Daily Funding Required Fields" column and (iii) deliver to Custodian the Loan
File or Wet Funding Package (subject to certain limitations) for each Loan
subject to such Transaction.

      b.    In the event that the parties hereto desire to enter into a
Transaction on terms other than as set forth herein or in a Transaction Notice,
related Seller and Buyer shall execute a "Confirmation" specifying such terms
prior to entering into such Transaction. Any such Confirmation and the related
Transaction Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and related Seller with respect to
the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates. In the event of any conflict
between this Agreement, the Transaction Notice and a Confirmation, the terms of
the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

5.    PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

      Unless otherwise agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in
immediately available funds and all Purchased Assets transferred shall be
transferred to the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Any Repurchase
Price or Price Differential received by Buyer after 4:00 p.m., New York City
time, shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.

      All funds required to be delivered hereunder shall be sent by wire
transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer
instructions set forth on Exhibit B.

6.    MARGIN MAINTENANCE

      a.    If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets
subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount for
all such Transactions (such event, a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice
to the Sellers require the Sellers in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer
either cash or additional Eligible Assets acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion ("Additional Purchased Assets") within one (1) Business Day of such
notice by Buyer (it being understood that the transfer of additional Eligible
Assets to the Custodian and not the review by the Custodian of the additional
Eligible Assets and subsequent issuance by the Custodian of a Trust Receipt
shall satisfy the requirement to "transfer additional Eligible Assets"), so the
cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets including any such
Additional Purchased Assets will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Buyer's
Margin Amount (such requirement, a "Margin Call").

                                     - 17 -

      b.    Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means
provided in Section 36 hereof. Any notice given before 10:00 a.m. New York City
time on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no
later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day; notice given after
10:00 a.m. New York City time on a Business Day shall be met, and the related
Margin Call satisfied, no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the
following Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to
exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and
conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do
so at a later date. Sellers and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by
Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer's rights
under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create
additional rights for Sellers.

7.    INCOME PAYMENTS

      Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which
Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Assets subject to that Transaction,
such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer
agrees that prior to the occurrence of a Default, the related Seller shall be
entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received, whether by Buyer,
Custodian, Servicer or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise
received by the related Seller, in respect of the Purchased Assets to the full
extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Assets had not been sold to
Buyer; provided that any Income received by Servicer or on behalf of the related
Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed held by
Servicer or the related Seller, as applicable, solely in trust for Buyer pending
the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date. Upon the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default, Sellers shall cause all Income to be deposited into the
Collection Account.

8.    SECURITY INTEREST

      Sellers and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer
of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Sellers secured by the
Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer's rights under this
Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the
Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Sellers'
performance of all of its Obligations, Sellers hereby grant Buyer a first
priority security interest in the Purchased Assets, whether now existing or
hereafter acquired. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) in the Purchased
Assets in favor of Buyer, which security interest is prior to all other liens on
the Purchased Assets and is enforceable as such against creditors of an
purchasers from Sellers.

12.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Each Seller hereby represents and warrants, and shall on and as of the
Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through
and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant,
that:

      a.    Due Organization and Qualification.Each Seller is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction under
whose laws it is organized. Each Seller is duly qualified to do business, is in
good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses, permits, charters,
registrations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted and the performance of its obligations under the Program
Documents except where any failure to obtain such a license, permit, charter,
registration or approval will not cause a Material Adverse Effect or impair the
enforceability of any Purchased Asset.

      b.    Power and Authority. Each Seller has all necessary power and
authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, to, execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Program Documents and to consummate the
Transactions.

      c.    Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Program Documents by each Seller have been duly authorized by all necessary
action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action
by or any notice to or filing with any Person other than any that have
heretofore been obtained, given or made.

                                     - 22 -

      d.    Noncontravention. None of the execution and delivery of the Program
Documents by each Seller or the consummation of the Transactions and
transactions thereunder:

            i)    conflicts with, breaches or violates any provision of the
      agreements of any Seller or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
      judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award currently in effect
      having applicability to such Seller or its properties;

            ii)   constitutes a material default by any Seller under any loan or
      repurchase agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement or instrument
      to which such Seller is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
      or may be bound or affected; or

            iii)  results in or requires the creation of any lien upon or in
      respect of any of the assets of any Seller except the lien relating to the
      Program Documents.

      e.    Legal Proceeding. There is no action, proceeding or investigation by
or before any court, governmental or administrative agency or arbitrator
affecting any of the Purchased Assets, any Seller or any of its Affiliates,
pending or, to the knowledge of any Seller, threatened, which, if decided
adversely, would have a reasonable likelihood of having a Material Adverse
Effect.

      f.    Valid and Binding Obligations. Each of the Program Documents to
which any Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by such Seller will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller, enforceable
against such Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
general equitable principles.

      g.    Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of
Holdings (which include the consolidated balance sheet and statements of income
and of cash flows), copies of which have been furnished to Buyer, (i) are, as of
the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all
material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of
operations of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates and for
the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements
to normal year-end adjustments). Since the date of the most recent financial
statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to Holdings.
Holdings is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitment that,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a
Material Adverse Change with respect to Holdings.

      h.    Accuracy of Information. None of the documents or information
prepared by or on behalf of each Seller and provided by each Seller to Buyer
relating to such Seller's financial condition contain any statement of a
material fact with respect to such Seller or the Transactions that was untrue or
misleading in any material respect when made. Since the furnishing of such
documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event
involving a prospective change known to each Seller that would render any of
such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect.

                                     - 23 -

      i.    No Consents. No consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, administrative
agency, or other governmental, instrumentality, nor any consent, approval,
waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other non-governmental person,
is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by each
Seller of this Agreement or the consummation by each Seller of any other Program
Document, other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

      j.    Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or policy employed
or proposed to be employed by each Seller in the conduct of its businesses
violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, order or decree applicable to
it which, if enforced, would result in either a Material Adverse Change or a
Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Seller.

      k.    Solvency: Fraudulent Conveyance. Each Seller is solvent and will not
be rendered insolvent by the Transaction and, after giving effect to such
Transaction, no Seller will be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital
with which to engage in its business. No Seller intends to incur, nor believes
that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.
No Seller is contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy,
liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of itself or any
of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by each Seller upon
the sale of the related Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably
equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets. No Seller is
transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of its creditors.

      l.    Investment Company Act and Public Utility Holding Company Act
Compliance. No Seller (i) is required to be registered as an "investment
company" as defined under the Investment Company Act or as an entity under the
control of an "investment company" as defined under the Investment Company Act
or (ii) is a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to recognition under
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

      m.    Taxes. Each Seller has filed all federal and state tax returns which
are required to be filed and paid all taxes, including any assessments received
by it, to the extent that such taxes are shown to be due and payable on such
returns (other than assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or
in the aggregate material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which
are being contested in good faith or for which it has established adequate
reserves). Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by the Sellers
in connection with a Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Program
Documents have been paid.

      n.    Additional Representations. With respect to each Loan, each Seller
jointly and severally hereby make all of the applicable representations and
warranties set forth in Exhibit E to this Agreement as of the date the Loan File
or Wet Funding Package, as applicable, is delivered to the Custodian unless
specifically stated to have been made as of some other date. Further, as of each
date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date, each Seller
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted in like manner that no Seller
has any knowledge that any such representation or warranty may have ceased to be
true in a material respect as of such date, except as otherwise stated in a
Transaction Notice, any such exception to identify the applicable representation
or warranty and specify in reasonable detail the knowledge of each Seller. In
addition, each Seller agrees to make the representations and warranties set

                                     - 24 -

forth in Exhibit E to this Agreement as of the "Cut-off Date" of the
securitization or whole loan sale of the related Loans by such Seller or Buyer,
as applicable.

      o.    No Broker. No Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission
or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, that if Sellers have dealt with any broker, investment
banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any
commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets
pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid
in full by the related Seller.

      p.    Hedging. Each Seller has entered into the Hedge Instruments pursuant
to its customary hedging procedures with respect to all Loans (other than
Negative Amortization Loans, Option ARM Loans, Second Lien Loans and HELOCs in
respect of which the applicable Seller either (i) will have entered into Takeout
Commitments or (ii) securitized such Negative Amortization Loan, Option ARM
Loan, Second Lien Loan or HELOC, as applicable, in all cases within 20 Business
Days of the origination of such Negative Amortization Loan, Option ARM Loan,
Second Lien Loan or HELOC, as applicable).

      q.    HELOC Provisions. With respect to each HELOC, each related Servicing
Agreement shall require the related Servicer to (a) fund any related Draws, (b)
to invoice the Seller on a monthly basis for the additional balances so created
and (c) to be deemed to have conveyed the additional balances to the Seller upon
any such funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
shall Buyer have any obligation to either (a) fund any Draws with respect to any
HELOC or (b) reimburse any Servicer for the funding of any Draws, which
obligations shall be retained by the Seller, or the Servicer on behalf of the
Seller. With respect to each HELOC, if a Borrower requests an increase in the
related Credit Limit the Seller shall cause the Servicer to, in its sole
discretion, either accept or reject the Borrower's request in accordance with
the Servicing Agreement and the Credit Line Agreement and the Seller shall cause
the Servicer to notify the Buyer in writing of Servicer's decision. If the
request for a Credit Limit increase is accepted, the increase will be effected
by the Seller, or the Servicer on behalf of the Seller, through modification of
the Loan with the Borrower. Seller shall deliver to the Buyer an updated Loan
Schedule reflecting the modification to the Loan and shall deliver any modified
documents to be included in the Loan File to the Custodian.

      The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall
survive transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and shall continue for so long
as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement.

13.   COVENANTS OF SELLERS

      Each Seller hereby covenants with Buyer as follows:

      a.    Defense of Title. Each Seller warrants and will defend the right,
title and interest of Buyer in and to the Purchased Assets against all adverse
claims and demands.

      b.    No Amendment or Compromise. Without Buyer's prior written consent,
no Seller or those acting on each Seller's behalf shall amend or modify, or
waive any term or

                                     - 25 -

condition of, or settle or compromise any claim in respect of, any item of the
Purchased Assets, any related rights or any of the Programs Documents, provided
that Servicer may amend or modify a Loan if such amendment or modification does
not affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest, extends
its scheduled maturity date, modify its interest rate, or constitute a
cancellation or discharge of its outstanding principal balance and does not
materially and adversely affect the security afforded by the real property,
furnishings, fixtures, or equipment securing the Loan.

      c.    No Assignment. Except as permitted herein, no Seller or Servicer
shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, or pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in or lien on or
otherwise encumber (except pursuant to the Program Documents), any of the
Purchased Assets or any interest therein, provided that this Section shall not
prevent any transfer of Purchased Assets in accordance with the Program
Documents or any Hedge Instruments for the related Purchased Assets.

      d.    Servicing of Loans. Each Seller shall cause Servicer to service all
Loans that are part of the Purchased Assets in accordance with prudent servicing
practices and the Servicing Policies, pending any delivery of such servicing to
Buyer, employing at least the same procedures and exercising the same care that
Servicer customarily employs in servicing loans that are similar to the Loans
for its own or the Seller's account. Sellers shall notify Servicers of Buyer's
interest hereunder and Sellers shall notify Buyer of the name and address of all
servicers of Loans. Sellers may not transfer their servicing rights in
conjunction with this Agreement or engage a Subservicer without the prior
written consent of the Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to approve each
servicer (other than the Servicer) and the form of all Servicing Agreements or
servicing side letter agreements relating to the Loans that constitute the
Purchased Assets. The related Seller shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause
to be held all funds collected with respect to such Loans in trust accounts and
shall apply to same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. Upon
Buyer's request, Sellers shall provide reasonably promptly to Buyer a letter
addressed to and agreed to by each Servicer of the Loans, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, advising such Servicer of such matters as
Buyer may reasonably request. If Sellers should discover that, for any reason
whatsoever, Servicer or any entity responsible to Sellers by contract for
managing or servicing any such Loan has failed to perform fully Sellers'
obligations under the Program Documents with respect to the servicing of the
Purchased Assets or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the
Purchased Assets, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer and shall replace such
Servicer in accordance with the requirements of this Section by no later than 45
days from such notification.

      e.    Preservation of Purchased Assets. Each Seller shall do all things
necessary to preserve each Purchased Asset so that it remains subject to a first
priority perfected security interest hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing,
Sellers will comply with all rules, regulations and other laws of any
Governmental Authority applicable to Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets
and cause the Purchased Assets to comply with all applicable rules, regulations
and other laws. No Seller will allow any default for which it is responsible to
occur under any Purchased Asset or any Program Documents and Sellers shall fully
perform or cause to be performed when due all of its obligations under any
Purchased Asset or the Program Documents.

      accordance with industry custom and practice, including those maintained
      pursuant to the preceding subsection and all such records shall be in
      Custodian's possession unless buyer otherwise approves. No Seller will
      allow any such papers, records or files that are an original or an only
      copy to leave Custodian's possession, except for individual items removed
      in connection with servicing a specific Loan, in which event the related
      Seller will obtain or cause to be obtained a receipt from the Custodian
      for any such paper, record or file.

            ii)   For so long as Buyer has an interest in or lien on any
      Purchased Asset, the related Seller will hold or cause to be held all
      related Records (including the Servicing Records) in trust for Buyer. The
      related Seller shall notify, or cause to be notified, every other party
      holding any such Records of the interests and liens granted hereby.

            iii)  Upon reasonable advance notice from Custodian or Buyer, the
      related Seller shall (x) make any and all such Records available to

      could reasonably be expected to result in either a Material Adverse Change
      with respect to the related Seller or a Material Adverse Effect.

      i.    Maintenance of Licenses. Each Seller shall maintain all licenses,
permits or other approvals necessary for each Seller to conduct its business and
to perform its obligations under the Program Documents, and each Seller shall
conduct its business strictly in accordance with applicable law.

      j.    Taxes. i)   All payments made by Sellers under this Agreement shall
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions
to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority thereof or
therein, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any
other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or a foreign
jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable
lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively,
"Non-Excluded Taxes"), all of which shall be paid by Sellers for their own
account not later than the date when due. If a Seller is required by law or
regulation to deduct or withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of
any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding;
(b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental
Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly,
original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment
when due of the full amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer
such additional amounts as may be necessary so that Buyer receives, free and
clear of all Non-Excluded Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have
received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been
made.

            ii)   In addition, Sellers agree to pay to the relevant Governmental
      Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or
      documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
      similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes,
      transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any
      taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made
      hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
      with respect to, this Agreement ("Other Taxes").

            iii)  Sellers agree to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of
      Non-Excluded Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and
      Other Taxes, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
      expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer
      shall have provided Sellers with evidence, reasonably

                                     - 29 -

      satisfactory to Sellers, of payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes,
      as the case may be.

            iv)   Buyer or Buyer's assignee that is not incorporated under the
      laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia
      (a "Foreign Buyer") shall provide the Sellers with properly completed
      United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or
      any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign
      Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the
      United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on
      payments of interest to zero or certifying that the income receivable
      pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a
      trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which
      each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit
      the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the
      prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days
      after there is a "change in circumstances" with respect to such Foreign
      Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any
      period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide the
      Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to
      this Section 13(j)(iv) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty,
      law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form
      originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be
      entitled to any "gross-up" of Non-Excluded Taxes or indemnification under
      Section 13(j)(iii) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the
      United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is
      otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded
      Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller
      shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to
      assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Non-Excluded Taxes.

            v)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
      Sellers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Sellers contained in
      this Section 13(j) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
      Nothing contained in this Section 13(j) shall require Buyer to make
      available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be
      confidential or proprietary.

            vi)   Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that its intent for
      purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes is to
      treat each Transaction as indebtedness of related Seller that is secured
      by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller
      in the absence of an Event of Default by related Seller. All parties to
      this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action
      inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

            vii)  Sellers shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid and
      discharged, when due, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or
      levies imposed upon it or its income and profits or upon any of its
      property, real, personal or mixed (including without limitation, the
      Purchased Assets) or upon any part thereof, as well as any other lawful
      claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon such properties or any
      part thereof, except for any such taxes, assessments and governmental
      charges, levies or claims as are

                                     - 30 -

      appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
      diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves are
      provided.

            viii) Sellers shall file on a timely basis all federal, and material
      state and local tax and information returns, reports and any other
      information statements or schedules required to be filed by or in respect
      of it.

      k.    Use of Custodian. Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, no
Seller shall use a third party custodian as document custodian other than the
Custodian with respect to third party purchasers, prospective third party
purchasers, lenders and prospective third party lenders with respect to loans of
the same type as the Purchased Assets.

      l.    Insurance. Each Seller will, and shall cause the Servicer to, obtain
and maintain insurance with responsible companies in such amounts and against
such risks as are customarily carried by business entities engaged in similar
businesses similarly situated, and will furnish Buyer on request full
information as to all such insurance, and provide within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of such request the certificates or other documents evidencing renewal
of each such policy. Holdings shall continue to maintain coverage, for itself
and its Subsidiaries, that encompass employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration,
theft, disappearance and destruction, robbery and safe burglary, property (other
than money and securities) and computer fraud in an aggregate amount of at least
$1,000,000 and shall name Buyer as loss payee.

      m.    Affiliate Transaction. No Seller will at any time, directly or
indirectly, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or
otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any
transactions with, any of their Affiliates unless the terms thereof are no less
favorable to Sellers, than those that could be obtained at the time of such
transaction in an arm's length transaction with a Person who is not such an
Affiliate.

      n.    Limitation on Distributions. If a Default has occurred and is
occurring, none of the Sellers shall pay any dividends or distributions with
respect to any capital stock or other equity interests in it, whether now or
hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either
directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property or in obligations of
Sellers.

      o.    Delivery of Servicing Records. With respect to the Servicing Records
of each Loan, the related Seller shall cause the Servicer to deliver such
Servicing Records to Buyer or the designee of Buyer, within 45 days of a
Purchase Date unless otherwise stated in writing by Buyer; provided that on each
Repurchase Date that is subject to a new Transaction, such delivery requirement
is deemed restated for such new Transaction (and the immediately preceding
delivery requirement is deemed to be rescinded) in the absence of directions to
the contrary from Buyer, and a new 45-day period is deemed to commence as of
such Repurchase Date, all as provided in the Servicer Side Letter. The transfer
of Servicing Records under this Subsection shall be in accordance with customary
standards in the industry.

      p.    Establishment of Collection Account. Within 30 days of the Effective
Date, Sellers shall establish, for the benefit of Buyer, a Collection Account in
Buyer's name for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer. Upon the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default,

                                     - 31 -

Sellers shall segregate all amounts collected on account of the Purchased Assets
to be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer, and shall remit such collections
into the Collection Account. No amounts deposited into the Collection Account
shall be removed without Buyer's prior written consent. Sellers shall follow the
instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets and deliver to Buyer
any information with respect to the Purchased Assets requested by Buyer. Sellers
shall deposit or credit to the Collection Account all items to be deposited or
credited thereto irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim arising in
favor of it (or any third party claiming through it) under any other agreement
or arrangement.

      q.    Financial Covenants. At all times Holdings shall maintain (a) an
Adjusted Tangible Net Worth that is not less than $250,000,000 on a consolidated
basis; (b) a Leverage Ratio (defined as the ratio of total liabilities

Liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus available,
unused borrowing capacity on any committed credit facility) that is equal to at
least $20,000,000 and (d) Net Income, for each calendar quarter commencing with
the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2006, in excess of $1.00. At all times
MIT shall maintain an Adjusted Tangible Net Worth that is not less than
$10,000,000 and MHL shall maintain an Adjusted Tangible Net Worth that is not
less than $250,000.

      r.    MERS. The Seller will comply in all material respects with the rules
and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Designated
Mortgage Loans for as long as such Loans are registered with MERS. In connection
with the assignment of any Loan registered on the MERS System, Sellers agree
that at the request of Buyer, Sellers will, at their joint and several cost and
expense, cause the MERS System to indicate that such Loan has been transferred
to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by including in MERS'
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific owner of
the Loans and (b) the code in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series
in which such Loans were sold. Sellers further agree that Sellers will not alter
codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Loan at any time that
such Loan is subject to this Agreement.

      s.    Change in Nature of Business. No Sellers shall make any material
change in the nature of its business as carried on at the date hereof.

      t.    Merger of Holdings. Holdings shall not at any time, directly or
indirectly, (i) liquidate or dissolve or enter into any consolidation or merger
or be subject to a Change in Control without Buyer's prior consent; (ii) form or
enter into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate or other combination which
would have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) make any Material Adverse Change
with respect to it or its Subsidiaries.

      u.    Underwriting Guidelines. Sellers shall not permit any modifications
to be made to the Underwriting Guidelines without 15 days prior written notice
to the Buyer. In the event that Sellers make any amendment or modification to
the Underwriting Guidelines: (i) Sellers shall promptly deliver to the Buyer a
complete copy of the amended or modified Underwriting Guidelines, and (ii) the
Buyer may, at its sole option and discretion, refrain from entering into any
further Transactions with respect to Loans originated under the amended or
modified Underwriting Guidelines.

                                     - 32 -

      v.    Jumbo Fixed Rate Loans. With respect to each Jumbo Fixed Rate Loan
which was repurchased by a Seller (as identified in the loan data provided by
Seller pursuant to Section 13(g)(ii) hereof) and was not subsequently purchased
by Buyer, Sellers shall remit to the Buyer on the following Repurchase Date, and
if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, the
Additional Amount set forth in an invoice delivered by Buyer to Seller.

      w.    Insured Closing Letter. As of the date hereof and as of the date of
each delivery of a Wet Funded Loan, the Settlement Agent has obtained an Insured
Closing Letter, closing protection letter or similar authorization letter from a
nationally recognized title insurance company approved by the Buyer, copies of
which shall be delivered by the applicable Seller to the Custodian prior to the
Purchase Date if requested by Buyer. Among other things, the Insured Closing
Letter covers any losses occurring due to the fraud, dishonesty or mistakes of
the closing agent. The Insured Closing Letter inures to the benefit of, and the
rights thereunder may be enforced by, the loan originator and its successors and
assigns, including the Buyer.

      x.    Escrow Letter. As of the date hereof and as of the date of each
delivery of a Wet Funded Loan, the Settlement Agent has executed an escrow
agreement or letter stating that in the event of a Rescission of or if for any
reason the Loan fails to fund on a given day, the party conducting the closing
is holding all funds which would have been disbursed on behalf of the Mortgagor
as agent for the benefit of the Buyer and such funds shall be redeposited in the
Disbursement Account for benefit of the Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) of the date of Rescission or other failure of the Loan to fund on a
given day. Such Escrow Letter inures to the benefit of, and the rights
thereunder may be enforced by, the loan originator and its successors and
assigns, including the Buyer.

14.   REPURCHASE DATE PAYMENTS/COLLECTIONS

      On each Repurchase Date, Seller shall remit or shall cause to be remitted
to Buyer the Repurchase Price.

15.   REPURCHASE OF PURCHASED ASSETS, CHANGE OF LAW

      a.    Upon discovery by the related Seller of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit E to this Agreement, the
related Seller shall give prompt written notice thereof to Buyer. Upon any such
discovery by Buyer, Buyer will notify the related Seller. It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit E to this
Agreement shall survive delivery of the respective Loan Files to the Custodian
and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer. The fact that Buyer has conducted or
has failed to conduct any partial or complete due diligence investigation in
connection with its purchase of any Loan shall not affect Buyer's right to
demand repurchase as provided under this Agreement. The related Seller shall
within two (2) Business Days of the earlier of the related Seller's discovery or
receiving notice, with respect to any Loan, of (i) any breach of a
representation or warranty contained in Exhibit E to this Agreement or (ii) any
failure to deliver any of the items required to be delivered as part of the Loan
File within the time period required for delivery pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement, promptly cure such breach or delivery failure in all material
respects. If within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the related
Seller's discovery of such breach or delivery failure or the related Seller's
receiving notice thereof such breach or delivery failure has not been remedied
by

                                     - 33 -

the related Seller, the related Seller shall promptly upon receipt of written
instructions from Buyer, at Buyer's option, either (i) purchase such Loan at a
purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such Loan by wire
transfer to the account designated by Buyer, or (ii) transfer comparable
Substitute Assets to Buyer, as provided in Section 16 hereof.

      b.    If Buyer determines that the introduction of, any change in, or the
interpretation or administration of any requirement of law has made it unlawful
or commercially impracticable to engage in any Transactions with a Pricing Rate
based on LIBOR, then the related Seller (i) shall upon its receipt of notice of
such fact and demand from Buyer (with a copy of such notice to Custodian),
repurchase the Purchased Assets subject to the Transaction or the next
succeeding Business Day and, at Sellers' election, concurrently enter into a new
Transaction with Buyer with a Pricing Rate based on the Prime Rate plus the
margin set forth in the Pricing Side Letter as part of the Pricing Rate and (ii)
may elect, by giving notice to Buyer and Custodian, that all new Transactions
shall have Pricing Rates based on the Prime Rate plus such margin.

      c.    If Buyer determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on Buyer's capital or on the capital of any Affiliate of Buyer as a
consequence of such Change in Law on this Agreement, then from time to time the
related Seller will compensate Buyer or Buyer's Affiliate, as applicable, for
such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law on
terms similar to those imposed by Buyer on its other similarly affected
customers. Buyer shall provide the related Seller with prompt notice as to any
Change in Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the
event of any such Change in Law, Sellers will have the right to terminate all
Transactions then outstanding without any prepayment penalty as of a date
selected by Sellers, which date shall be prior to the then applicable Repurchase
Date and which date shall thereafter for all purposes hereof be deemed to be the
Repurchase Date.

16.   SUBSTITUTION

      The related Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other assets which are substantially the same as the Purchased Assets
(the "Substitute Assets") for any Purchased Assets. Such substitution shall be
made by transfer to Buyer of such other Substitute Assets and transfer to the
related Seller of such Purchased Assets. After substitution, the Substitute
Assets shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets.

17.   REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

      Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions with
the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, grant
participation interests in, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets
with a counterparty of Buyer's choice, in all cases subject to Buyer's
obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on
the Repurchase Date. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with
any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the
Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer's counterparty
any of the applicable representations or warranties in Exhibit E to this
Agreement and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased
Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

                                     - 34 -

18.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT

      With respect to any Transactions covered by or related to this Agreement,

cash the applicable Price Differential on any Repurchase Date pursuant to

      b.    a Seller shall fail to perform, observe or comply with any other
material term, covenant or agreement contained in the Program Documents (other
than Exhibit E to this Agreement and the other "Events of Default" set forth in
this Section 18) and such failure is not cured within the time period expressly
provided or, if no such cure period is provided, within two (2) Business Days of
the earlier of (i) such party's receipt of written notice from Buyer or
Custodian of such breach and (ii) the date on which such party obtains notice or
knowledge of the facts giving rise to such breach;

      c.    any representation or warranty made by a Seller or any of its
officers in the Program Documents or in any other document delivered in
connection therewith shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect
when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated (other than the
representations and warranties in Exhibit E to this Agreement which shall be
considered solely for the purpose of determining whether the related Loan is an
Eligible Asset, unless Sellers shall have made any such representations or
warranties with the knowledge that they were materially false or misleading at
the time made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated);

      d.    Sellers or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall fail to pay
any of Sellers' or its Subsidiaries' or Affiliates' Indebtedness, or any
interest or premium thereon when due (whether by scheduled maturity, requirement
prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) beyond any applicable cure
period, and such failure shall entitle the related counterparty to declare any
such Indebtedness or Guarantee to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid
(other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the state
maturity thereof;

      e.    a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official for any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, or any of Sellers' Property (as a debtor or creditor protection

of its Subsidiaries' or Affiliates' Property is sequestered by court or
administrative order; or a petition is filed against any Seller or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution, moratorium, delinquency or
liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or subsequently in effect and
that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                                     - 35 -

      f.    any Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates files a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy seeks relief under any provision of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, moratorium, delinquency, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment
of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction whether now or
subsequently in effect; or consents to the filing of any petition against it
under any such law or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, conservator, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar
official for any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or of all or
any part of Sellers' or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates' Property; or makes an
assignment for the benefit of Sellers' or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
creditors;

      g.    any final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of

Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and remains undischarged or
unsatisfied after the passage of 30 days following the date on which it is
entered;

      h.    any Governmental Authority or any person, agency or entity acting or

Property of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or shall have
taken any action to displace the management of any Seller or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to curtail its authority in the conduct of the

sixty (60) days;

      i.    any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall default
under, or fail to perform as requested under, or shall otherwise breach the
material terms of, in each case beyond any applicable cure period, any
instrument, agreement or contract relating to Indebtedness in excess of
$10,000,000 and such default, failure or breach shall entitle any counterparty
to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to the maturity
thereof;

Change shall have occurred with respect to any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries

reference of similar import;

      o.    a Change in Control of any Seller shall have occurred which has not

19.   REMEDIES

retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other
amounts owing by the Sellers hereunder; the Sellers shall immediately deliver to
Buyer or its designee or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee, any and
all original documents, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets
subject to such Transaction then in any Sellers' possession and/or control; and
all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and
Servicing Rights thereon shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee.

      Buyer may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on
which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(b)
without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such
price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased
Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion
of such Purchased Assets, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets in an
amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate
unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder.
Sellers shall remain liable to the Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to
Buyer following a sale or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of
any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an
Event of Default; second to Breakage Costs, costs of cover and/or related
hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to
all other Obligations.

      The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all
of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with
the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased
Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the
parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased
Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private
purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any
Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate
any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all
Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a
waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in
consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder
constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each
Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

      In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed
against any of Sellers' assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of
Buyer's Affiliates or its designee (including the Custodian), including the
right to liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds against monies owed
by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the
proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased
Assets, any other collateral or its proceeds and all other sums or obligations
owed by Buyer to Seller hereunder against all of Sellers' Obligations to Buyer,
whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction,

                                     - 38 -

or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not
such Obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer's right to recover any
deficiency.

      Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records
and all other files of Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets and all
documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come
into the possession of Sellers or any third party acting for Sellers and Sellers
shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

      Buyer may direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such
action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate.

      Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus
interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate), and Breakage Costs and
all costs and expenses incurred within 30 days of the Event of Default in
connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased
Assets.

      Each Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the
Purchased Assets to be deposited with Custodian (or such other Person as Buyer
may direct) after receipt thereof.

      Buyer shall without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having
jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect,
manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect
the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof,
and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder to do. Sellers shall pay all
costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and
activities of such receiver.

      Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial
process or hearing, and Sellers hereby expressly waive, to the extent permitted
by law, any right Sellers might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its
rights by judicial process. Sellers also waive, to the extent permitted by law,
any defense Sellers might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of
nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased
Assets or from any other election of remedies. Sellers recognize that
nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive
to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.

      In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein,
Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal,
state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute
including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a
purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise any of its
rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of
any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Sellers.

      Sellers hereby authorize Buyer, at Sellers' expense, to file such
financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets without
Seller's signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and
appoints Buyer as Sellers' attorney-in-fact to execute any such

                                     - 39 -

financing statement or statements in Sellers' name and to perform all other acts
which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue the lien and security
interest granted hereby and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased
Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete
blanks in documents and execute assignments on behalf of each Seller as its
attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable without Buyer's consent.

20.   DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

      No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy
hereunder preclude any other or farther exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for
herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies
provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements
contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any
attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document.
Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one
or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time
to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

21.   USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

      No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") shall be
used by any party hereto in a Transaction.

22.   COSTS; INDEMNITY

      a.    Sellers agree to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, modification and amendment of the Program Documents (including,
without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and
expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer with
respect to advising Buyer as to its rights and responsibilities, or the
perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this
Agreement, with respect to negotiations with Sellers or with other creditors of
Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or
circumstances that may arise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims
in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar proceeding involving creditors' rights generally and any
proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses of Buyer in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement (including any waivers),
whether in any action, suit or litigation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer) whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

      b.    Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and each of its
respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against (and will reimburse
each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) any

                                     - 40 -

and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and allocated costs of
internal counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation,
litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party
thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program
Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach of a
representation or warranty of Sellers or any of their officers in this Agreement
or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto) (i) the
Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions,
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including,
without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, (ii) the actual or
alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental
action relating in any way to any Property, or (iii) the actual or alleged
violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws
except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or
is the result of a claim made by Sellers against the Indemnified Party, and
Sellers are ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or
arbitration. Sellers also agree not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of
its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the
Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.
THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

      c.    Without limitation on the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of
the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by any Seller other than on the
then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the
Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 19 or for any other reason, such Seller
shall, except as otherwise provided in Sections 15(c) and 24, upon demand by
Buyer, pay to Buyer any Breakage Costs incurred as of a result of such payment.

      d.    If Sellers fail to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts
payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf
of Sellers by Buyer, in its sole discretion.

      e.    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Sellers
hereunder, the easements and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section
shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts
payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full
payment therefor.

23.   WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

      Sellers hereby expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the
proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Buyer or
Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other

                                     - 41 -

instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to
direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in
the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

24.   REIMBURSEMENT

      All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain Sellers' obligation.
Sellers agree to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an
Event of Default has occurred, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Buyer and/or Custodian in connection with
the preparation, enforcement (including any waivers), administration and
amendments of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is
entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action,
required or permitted to be taken by Buyer (without duplication to Buyer) and/or
Custodian pursuant thereto, any "due diligence" or loan agent reviews conducted
by Buyer or on its behalf or any refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a
"workout". If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change in,
or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement or (ii)
the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present
or any future Transactions, then Sellers agree to pay to Buyer, from time to
time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of
additional amounts as specified by Buyer to compensate Buyer for such increased
costs. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of
any such change in the eurocurrency reserve requirement or the interpretation of
any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority, Sellers will have the right to terminate all
Transactions then outstanding as of a date selected by Sellers, which date shall
be prior to the applicable Repurchase Date and which date shall thereafter for
all purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Repurchase Date. In addition, Buyer
shall promptly notify Sellers if any events in clause (i) or (ii) of this
Section 24 occur.

25.   FURTHER ASSURANCES

      Sellers agree to do such further acts and things and to execute and
deliver to Buyer such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements,
powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Buyer to carry into effect
the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Buyer in
the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Buyer its rights,
powers and remedies hereunder.

26.   JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

      The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that they are jointly and
severally liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants,
obligations and liabilities of each of the Sellers hereunder. The Sellers hereby
further acknowledge and agree that (a) any Default, Event of Default or breach
of a representation, warranty or covenant by any Seller under this Agreement is
hereby considered a Default, Event of Default or breach by each Seller, and (b)
the Buyer shall have no obligation to proceed against one Seller before
proceeding against the other Seller. The Sellers hereby waive any defense to
their obligations under this Agreement, based

                                     - 42 -

upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or cessation of liability
of one Seller versus the other or of any other Person, and (c) waive any right
of subrogation or ability to proceed against any Person. A Seller's subrogation
claim arising from payments to Buyer shall constitute a capital investment in
another Seller (1) subordinated to any claims of Buyer, and (2) equal to a
ratable share of the equity interests in such Seller.

27.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION

      This Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations,
contracts, term sheets, agreements and understandings between the parties
relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased
Assets thereto, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other
documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final
agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or
prior contract shall have any validity hereafter.

28.   TERMINATION

      This Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date
which is 364 days after the Effective Date, or (ii) at Buyer's option upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (such date, the "Termination Date"). However,
no such termination shall affect the related Sellers' outstanding obligations to
Buyer at the time of such termination. Each Seller's obligations to indemnify
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents shall survive
the termination hereof. If a Seller requests an extension of the Termination
Date with respect to (i) above and Buyer fails to respond to such request, such
failure shall be deemed a rejection of such request.

29.   ASSIGNMENT

      (a)   The Program Documents are not assignable by the Sellers. Buyer may
from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the Program Documents; provided, however, Buyer shall
maintain, for review by Sellers upon written request, a register of assignees
and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee
("Assignment and Acceptance"), specifying the percentage or portion of such
rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall
be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage
or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the
applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to
the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to
either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii)
another Person approved by Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned) which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be
released from its obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the
Program Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance,
Sellers shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise
notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee
any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Sellers. Notwithstanding
any assignment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 29, Buyer shall remain liable
as to the Transactions.

                                     - 43 -

      (b)   The Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell
to one or more entities ("Participants") participating interests in any
Transaction, its right to purchase Loans, or any other interest of the Buyer
hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the event of any such sale
by the Buyer of participating interests to a Participant, the Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement to the Sellers shall remain unchanged, the
Buyer shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, the Buyer
shall remain the owner of the Purchased Assets for all purposes under this
Agreement and the other Program Documents, and the Sellers shall continue to
deal solely and directly with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer's rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. The
Sellers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have
the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Buyer under this Agreement; provided,
that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it
shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its
participating interest to share with the Buyer the proceeds thereof. The Buyer
also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
22 with respect to its participation; provided, that the Buyer and all
Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate
pursuant to such Sections than the Buyer would have been entitled to receive had
no such transfer occurred.

      (c)   The Buyer may furnish any information concerning the Sellers or any
of their Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees
and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants) only after
notifying the Sellers in writing and securing signed confidentiality statements
and only for the sole purpose of evaluating participations and for no other
purpose.

      (d)   The Sellers agree to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with any
such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver such replacement
notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and
other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order
to give effect to such assignment and/or participation. The Sellers further
agree to furnish to any Participant identified by the Buyer to the Sellers
copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by the Sellers to the
Buyer hereunder, as and when delivered to the Buyer.

30.   AMENDMENTS, ETC.

      No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor any consent
to any failure to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Seller and Buyer, and
then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

31.   SEVERABILITY

      If any provision of any Program Document is declared invalid by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

                                     - 44 -

32.   BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW

      This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that no
Seller may assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations
under this Agreement or any other Program Document without the prior written
consent of the Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND
GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (EXCEPT OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

33.   CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

      SELLERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. SELLERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO
THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLERS
HEREBY SUBMIT TO, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION SELLERS MAY HAVE TO, NON-EXCLUSIVE
PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT
TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS.

34.   SINGLE AGREEMENT

      Each Seller and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will
enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other
transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to
have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfer in
respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such
payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and
netted.

35.   INTENT

      Sellers and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended ("USC") and a "securities contract" as that term is
defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC.

      It is understood that Buyer's right to liquidate the Purchased Assets
delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder, accelerate or
terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to
Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate
such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the USC.

                                     - 45 -

38.   SET-OFF

      In addition to any rights and remedies of the Buyer provided by this
Agreement and by law, the Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to
any Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by such Seller to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any
Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property
and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or

Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items
and all other sums or obligations owed by the Buyer or its Affiliates to Sellers
or their Affiliates against all of Sellers' and their Affiliates' obligations to
the Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other
agreement between the parties or between any Seller or any Affiliate of such
Seller and any Affiliate of the Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such
obligations are then due, without prejudice to the Buyer's or its Affiliate's
right to recover any deficiency. The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Sellers
after any such set-off and application made by the Buyer; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

                                     ANNEX I

                              BUYER ACTING AS AGENT

      This Annex I forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of
May 25, 2006 (the "Agreement") between Bank of America, N.A., MortgageIT
Holdings, Inc., MortgageIT, Inc. and MHL Funding Corp. This Annex I sets forth
the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which a party selling
assets or buying assets, as the case may be ("Agent"), in a Transaction is
acting as agent for one or more third parties (each, a "Principal"). Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Agreement.

1.    Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following
      representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction:
      Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement
      on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the
      Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and to perform the obligations
      of Buyer, under such Transactions, and has taken all necessary action to
      authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it.

2.    Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party,
      prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction
      under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals for which it
      intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to
      time with the consent of the other party) and (b) to provide the other
      party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally
      agreeing to enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific
      Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such
      Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals
      prior to the close of business on such next business day or (ii) the other
      party shall determine in its sole discretion any Principal or Principals
      identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject
      and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals, return to
      Agent any Purchased Assets or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case
      may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further
      performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to
      the other party any portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Assets, as
      the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such
      Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly
      (and in any event within one business day) notify Agent of its
      determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent
      that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction
      rejected by the other party and such party shall remain entitled to any
      Price Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it
      with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been
      rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any
      obligation to provide it with confidential information regarding the
      financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will
      assist the other party in obtaining from Agent's Principals such
      information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other
      party may reasonably request.

                                   Annex I - 1

3.    Limitation of Agent's Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if
      the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I,
      are true and correct in all material respects during the term of any
      Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex
      I, then (a) Agent's obligations under the Agreement shall not include a
      guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals; provided that
      Agent shall remain liable for performance pursuant to Section 10 of the
      Agreement, and (b) the other party's remedies shall not include a right of
      setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in
      other transactions in which Agent is acting as principal.

4.    Multiple Principals.

      (a)   In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal
            hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to
            treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into
            on behalf of separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such
            Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal.
            Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an
            election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions
            on behalf of a single Principal.

      (b)   In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to
            elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on
            behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will
            provide the other party, together with the notice described in
            Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each
            Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for
            which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is
            allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the
            portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal
            shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii)
            the margin maintenance obligations of Sellers under Section 6(a) of
            the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction
            basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a
            Principal-by-Principal basis); and (iv) Buyer's remedies under the
            Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be
            determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with
            the other party on behalf of each of its Principals.

      (c)   In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat
            Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a
            single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent's notice under
            Section 2(b) of this Annex I need only identify the names of its
            Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each
            Principal's account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of
            Sellers under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall, subject to any
            greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an
            aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf
            of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer's remedies upon the occurrence of
            an Event of Default shall be determined as if all Principals were a
            single Buyer.

                                   Annex I - 2

      (d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including,
            without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any
            Transactions by Agent on behalf of an employee benefit plan under
            ERISA shall be treated as Transactions on behalf of separate
            Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all
            margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on
            a Transaction-by-Transaction basis).

5.    Interpretation of Terms. All references to "Buyer" in the Agreement shall,
      subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other
      provisions, the limitations on Agent's liability in Section 3 of this
      Annex I), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in
      connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on
      its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a
      "Buyer" directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the
      other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent's Principal or Principals
      have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Buyer's
      obligations to Sellers, and for receipt of performance by Sellers of their
      obligations to Buyer, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions
      under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each
      Principal in connection with transfers of Securities, cash or other
      property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the
      Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed
      "parties" to the Agreement and all references to a "party" or "either
      party" in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly.

                                   Annex I - 3

                                    EXHIBIT E

              REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO LOANS

      The Sellers represent and warrant to the Buyer that, with respect to each
Loan sold in a Transaction hereunder, as of the related Purchase Date and the
related Repurchase Date and on each date that the Loans are subject to a
Transaction:

      (a)   Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Loan Schedule
with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct.

      (b)   Payments Current. Other than Fifty-Nine Day Delinquent Loans which
are subject to the sub-limits set forth in the Pricing Side Letter (i) all
payments required to be made up to the related Purchase Date for the Loan under
the terms of the Note have been made and credited and (ii) no payment required
under the Loan has been thirty (30) days or more delinquent since origination of
such Loan.

      (c)   No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the
terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, and all taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid,
or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for
every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet
due and payable. No Seller has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Borrower,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan,
except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement
of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes
by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest
thereunder.

      (d)   Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note and Mortgage have
not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of
origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if
necessary to protect the interests of the Buyer, and which has been delivered to
the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. The
substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by
the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its
terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule. No Borrower in respect of the Loan has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy,
and which assumption agreement is part of the Loan File delivered to the
Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. Except with
respect to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans, neither the Note nor the Mortgage
have any marks or notations indicating that they are currently pledged, assigned
or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer.

      (e)   No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission,
setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage,
or the exercise of any right thereunder, render

                                      E - 1

either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto, and no Borrower in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any
state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was
originated.

      (f)   Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and
extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae
or Freddie Mac, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Sellers as of
the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against
earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties
in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the
greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the
Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan with respect to each First Lien Loan (plus, if the Loan is an Option ARM
Loan which provides for Negative Amortization or a Negative Amortization Loan,
the maximum amount of Negative Amortization permitted by the Note) or (B) with
respect to each Second Lien Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance
of the First Lien Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien
Loan (plus, if the Loan is an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative
Amortization or a Negative Amortization Loan, the maximum amount of Negative
Amortization permitted by the Note), (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the
operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of
origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier and
such policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged
Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies
(collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming Holdings, its successors and assigns (including without
limitation, subsequent owners of the Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be
reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days' prior written notice to the
mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Sellers. All premiums due and
owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates
the Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such Borrower's failure to
do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Borrower's
cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Borrower. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Borrower has been given an opportunity
to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is
not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or
any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit
development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer and is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has
no knowledge of the Borrower's having engaged in, any act or omission which
would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement
provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including,
without limitation, no unlawful

                                      E - 2

fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind
has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or
other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
realized by the Sellers.

      (g)   Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection
(including Uniform Consumer Credit Code Laws), fair credit reporting, unfair
collection practices, equal credit opportunity, all applicable high cost lending
laws, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws or disclosure laws
applicable to the solicitation, origination, servicing and collection of the
Loan or otherwise applicable to the Loan have been complied with, the Borrower
received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the
making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Loan, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws
or regulations, and the Sellers shall maintain or shall cause its agent to
maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Buyer, and shall
deliver to the Buyer, upon two Business Days' request, evidence of compliance
with all such requirements.

      (h)   No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied,
canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole-or in
part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Sellers have not waived the
performance by the Borrower of any action, if the Borrower's failure to perform
such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor have the Sellers waived
any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Borrower.

      (i)   Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is
located in the state identified in the Loan Schedule and consists of a single
parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon,
or a two or more family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a
condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de
minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit
or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, that a de minimus percentage
of the Loans may be Co-op Loans and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile
home, a manufactured dwelling or a cooperative dwelling. As of the respective
appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, no portion of the Mortgaged Property
was being used for commercial or mixed-use purposes and, to the Sellers'
knowledge, since the date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes. No Loan finances builder
inventory.

      (j)   Valid Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to
each Loan (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) which
is indicated by the Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Loan
Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect
to each Loan (including any Negative Amortization which may arise
thereunder)which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on
the Loan Schedule), in either case, on the real property included in the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged

                                      E - 3

Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and
air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the
foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage (other than a Co-op Loan) is subject only
to:

                  (1)   the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
      not yet due and payable;

                  (2)   covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
      easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
      recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally
      and specifically referred to in the title insurance policy delivered to
      the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in
      the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not
      adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth
      in such appraisal;

                  (3)   other matters to which like properties are commonly
      subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere
      with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage
      or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
      Property;

                  (4)   in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is a
      condominium or an individual unit in a planned unit development, liens for
      common charges permitted by statute; and

                  (5)   with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the
      Seller to be a second lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule) a
      first lien on the Mortgaged Property.

      Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest
with respect to each First Lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), or (B)
second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Second
Lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property
described therein and the Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to
the Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the
Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other
security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

      With respect to each Co-op Loan, each Assignment of Proprietary Lease
creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the
collateral securing the related Mortgage Note and with respect to Co-op Loans,
the Proprietary Lease and the Co-op Shares subject only to (a) the lien of the
related Co-op Corporation for unpaid assessments representing the obligor's pro
rata share of the Co-op Corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage, current
and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other
assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters
to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the

                                      E - 4

Assignment of Proprietary Lease; provided, however, that the appurtenant
Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of any
mortgage on the Co-op Project.

      (k)   Cooperative Loans. With respect to each Co-op Loan, each original
UCC financing statement, continuation statement or other governmental filing or
recordation necessary to create or preserve the perfection and priority of the
first priority lien and security interest in the Co-op Shares and Proprietary
Lease has been timely and properly made. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to the Co-op Loan and delivered to the
Seller or its designee establishes in the Seller a valid and subsisting
perfected first lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property
described therein, and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same.

      (l)   Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any
other agreement executed and delivered by a Borrower or guarantor, if
applicable, in connection with a Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its
terms. All parties to the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver
the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and
any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such
related parties. The Borrower is a natural person who is a party to the Note and
the Mortgage in an individual capacity and not in the capacity of a trustee or
otherwise. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar
occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken placed on the part of any Person,
including, without limitation, the Borrower, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Loan or in connection with the
sale of such Loan to the Buyer, and there are no circumstances existing with
respect to the Loan which would permit the primary mortgage guaranty insurer to
deny coverage under any insurance policy. The Sellers have reviewed all of the
documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it
deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set
forth herein.

      (m)   Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been
fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances
thereunder (except with respect to a HELOC during the related Revolving Period),
and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Borrower is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage.
The Revolving Period under any HELOC is identified on the Loan Schedule and is
accurate. No party other than the Buyer or Seller has any interest in any Draws
that have been made under any HELOC.

      (n)   Ownership. The Sellers or MERS as nominee for the Sellers is the
sole owner and holder of the Loan. In connection with such sale, such third
party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in
accordance with GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, reported the sale of
such Loan to the Sellers as a sale of its interests in such Loan. The Loan is
not assigned or pledged, and the Sellers have good, indefeasible and marketable
title thereto, and has full right to transfer, sell and assign the Loan to the
Buyer free and clear of any

                                      E - 5

encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and
pledge each Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each
Loan, the Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except
any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

      (o)   Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Loan,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period
in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with
any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein
the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws
of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state or exempt from such
qualification in a manner so as not to affect adversely the enforceability of
such Mortgage Loan, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank
or a national bank having a principal office in such state or (D) not doing
business in such state.

      (p)   LTV; PMI Policy. As of the date of origination of the Loan, the LTV
and CLTV (if applicable) are as identified on the Loan Schedule. No First Lien
Loan had a loan-to-value ratio at origination in excess of 100% and no Second
Lien Loan has a Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 100%
unless in either case such Loan meets Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD Guidelines.
If a Loan had an original LTV of 80% or greater, the Loan is covered by a PMI
Policy. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have
been paid. The insurer under such PMI Policy is an insurer acceptable to Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Borrower
thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith. Any such premium is not payable from any portion of the
Mortgage Interest Rate. No Option ARM Loan or Negative Amortization Loan allows
for Negative Amortization when combined with the original principal balance of
the Option ARM Loan or Negative Amortization Loan, as applicable, would result
in a CLTV in excess of 100%.

      (q)   Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an ALTA Buyer's
title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or (ii) where (i) is not commercially
available, an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and
substance of which, and the use of such opinion in lieu of title insurance is
acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the
area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located and each such title insurance
policy and attorney's opinion of title is issued by and constitutes the valid
and binding obligation of a title insurer or attorney (as applicable) generally
acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase
mortgage loans comparable to the Loans and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Holdings, its
successors and assigns, as to the first or second priority lien of the Mortgage,
as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Loan with respect to a
Loan other than a HELOC (including, if the Loan is an Option ARM Loan or
Negative Amortization Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum
amount of Negative Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) or the original
Credit Limit, with respect to a HELOC, subject only to the exceptions contained

                                      E - 6

in clauses (1), (2), (3) and, with respect to each Loan which is indicated by
the Seller to be a second lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule) clause
(4) of paragraph (j) of this Exhibit E, and in the case of adjustable rate
Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to
the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment and with respect to a Loan
including an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the
Negative Amortization provisions of the Note. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Borrower has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of
the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such Buyer's title
insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The
title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard
exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard
survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific
survey reading. Holdings, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of
such Buyer's title insurance policy, and such Buyer's title insurance policy is
valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims
have been made under such Buyer's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or
servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Sellers, have done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such Buyer's title
insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission,
kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by any of the
Sellers.

      (r)   No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note and no event has occurred
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and no Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration, except that the Sellers may have
accepted late payments, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums or water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable and with respect to each Co-op Loan,
there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the
Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance
charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future
installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and the
related Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of
Proprietary Lease and Proprietary Lease to pay any maintenance charges or
assessments owed by the Borrower. With respect to each Loan which is indicated
by the Sellers to be a Second Lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule) (i)
the first lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or
the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder has occurred, and
either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B)
applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Loan to receive
notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by
payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage.

                                      E - 7

      (s)   No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with the lien of the Mortgage except those that are stated in the title
insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against
by such policy.

      (t)   Location of Improvements: No Encroachments. All improvements which
were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property except those that are stated in the title insurance policy
and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against by such policy.
No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

      (u)   Origination: Payment Terms. The Loan was originated by the related
Seller in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act,
a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union,
insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and
examined by a federal or state authority. Except for an Interest-Only Loan, or
HELOC, principal payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days
after funds were disbursed in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest
Rate is adjusted, with respect to adjustable rate Loans, on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to
the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. Except for an
Interest-Only Loan, Option ARM Loan or HELOC, the Note is payable on the day set
forth in the Note in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Loans, are subject to
change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest
Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an
original term of not more than 40 years from the date of origination. With
respect to each Interest-Only Loan or Option ARM Loan, the interest-only period
shall not exceed the period specified on the Loan Schedule and following the
expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining
term of the Loan. With respect to HELOCs, the related Borrower may request
advances up to the Credit Limit within the first ten years following the date of
origination; each HELOC will amortize within thirty (30) years from the date of
origination. With respect to each Negative Amortization Loan or Option ARM Loan,
the related Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the
period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative
Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Note and to pay interest at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires that such Option ARM Loan or
Negative Amortization Loan be fully amortized by the stated maturity date;
provided, however, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that
exceeds 110% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior
to the Payment Adjustment Date. Unless otherwise specified on the description of
pool characteristics attached in the Loan Schedule, the Loan is payable on the
first day of each month.

                                       E-8

      (v)   Customary Provisions. The Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including,
(i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale,
and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Borrower on a Loan
and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and
merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Borrower which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage.

      (w)   Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The
Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines.
The Note and Mortgage are on Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac uniform instruments, or
are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, (unless the Note and
Mortgage are with respect to non-standard programs for which Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac do not have forms, in which case, they shall be on forms acceptable
to prudent institutional mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase
mortgage loans) and the Sellers have not made any representations to a Borrower
that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

      (x)   Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the
Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities. No Seller has received written notification from any
Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance
with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or
has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the
case may be. No Seller has received notice of any violation or failure to
conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or
certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Schedule, the Borrower
represented at the time of origination of the Loan that the Borrower would
occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Borrower's primary residence.

      (y)   No Additional Collateral. The Note is not and has not been secured
by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security
agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above.

      (z)   Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian or
the Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee's sale after default by the Borrower.

                                       E-9

      (aa)  Delivery of Mortgage Documents. Except with respect to any Wet
Funded Loan, the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for
a MERS Designated Loan) and any other documents required to be delivered under
the Custodial Agreement for each Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. Each
Mortgage securing a Loan (other than a MERS Designated Loan) has been duly
recorded in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located. If the Mortgage securing a Loan does
not name the applicable Seller as the related holder, then a valid and
recordable assignment assigning to the applicable Seller or the Custodian the
Mortgage underlying the Loan has been duly recorded in the appropriate
governmental recording office for the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged
Property is located, and the related Seller has delivered to the Custodian a
true certified copy of the original assignment delivered to the appropriate
governmental recording office. The Seller or its agent is in possession of a
complete, true and materially accurate Loan File in compliance with the
Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been
delivered to the Custodian. Each of the documents and instruments included in a
Loan File is duly executed and in due and proper form and each such document or
instrument is in a form generally acceptable to prudent institutional mortgage
lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans.

      (bb)  Transfer of Loans. Except with respect to each Wet Funded Loan,
the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

      (cc)  Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for
the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in
the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior
written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

      (dd)  No Buydown Provisions: No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which monthly
payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by the Sellers, the Borrower, or anyone on behalf of the Borrower,
or paid by any source other than the Borrower nor does it contain any other
similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Loan is not a
graduated payment mortgage loan and the Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature.

      (ee)  Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the
Borrower prior to the origination of the Loan have been or in the case of HELOCs
will be consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single
interest rate and a single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having (A) first lien
priority with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a
First Lien Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien priority
with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien
Loan (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), in either case, by a title insurance
policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated
interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
With respect to each Loan which does not permit Negative Amortization, the
consolidated principal

                                      E-10

amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan or in the case
of HELOCs, the Credit Limit of the Loan. With respect to each Negative
Amortization Loan or Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization,
the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount
of the Loan plus any Negative Amortization in a combined amount not to exceed
the maximum Negative Amortization permitted under the terms of the Note.

      (ff)  Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property (and with
respect to any Co-op Loan, the Co-op Unit) is in good repair and undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other
casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each
Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There is no proceeding pending or
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor
is such a proceeding currently occurring.

      (gg)  Collection Practices: Escrow Deposits: Interest Rate Adjustments.
The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the originator, each
servicer of the Loan and the Sellers with respect to the Loan have been in
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations,
and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits
and escrow payments (other than with respect to each Loan which is indicated by
the Seller to be a Second Lien Loan and for which the mortgagee under the first
lien is collecting escrow payments (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), all such
payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Sellers or their
designee and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow
payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in
an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or escrow payments
or other charges or payments due have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the
Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance
with state and federal law and the terms of the related Note. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly
paid and credited.

      (hh)  Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to adjustable rate
Loans, the Loan is not convertible to a fixed interest rate Loan.

      (ii)  Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has
occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will
result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any
applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond,
irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the
placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has
been or will be received by any Seller or by any officer, director, or employee
of any Seller or any designee of the Sellers or any corporation in which any
Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the
time of placement of such insurance.

                                      E-11

      (jj)  Servicepersons' Civil Relief Act. The Borrower has not notified
any Seller, and no Seller has knowledge, of any relief requested by the Borrower
under the Servicepersons' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

      (kk)  Appraisal. Except with respect to HELOCs originated in accordance
with the Underwriting Guidelines for which no appraisal was required, the Loan
File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the
approval of the Loan application by a qualified appraiser who had no interest,
direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security
thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval
of the Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as amended and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.

      (ll)  Disclosure Materials. The Borrower has executed a statement to the
effect that the Borrower has received all disclosure materials required by
applicable law with respect to the making of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, and
the Sellers maintain such statement in the Loan File.

      (mm)  No Construction Loans. No Loan was made in connection with the
construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the
trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

      (nn)  No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or
failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has
existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to the Sellers on
or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from,
denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance
(including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would
limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Sellers, the
related Borrower or any party involved in the application for such coverage,
including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or
documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for
any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such
insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or
such insurer's financial inability to pay.

      (oo)  Capitalization of Interest. Other than with respect to Negative
Amortization Loans, the Note does not by its terms provide for the
capitalization or forbearance of interest.

originated by the Sellers generally.

      (zz)  Predatory Lending Practices. No predatory, abusive or deceptive
lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a
Borrower without regard for the Borrower's ability to repay the Loan and the

      (ggg) Revolving Period. Each HELOC provides for a Revolving Period
during which the Borrower is required to make monthly payments of interest
payable in arrears and requires repayment of the unpaid principal balance
thereof over a period following the Revolving Period (the "Repayment Period")
which is not in excess of 120 months. As of the related Purchase Date, no HELOC
was in its Repayment Period. The Mortgage Interest Rate on each HELOC adjusts

with respect to a HELOC, the Seller has made interest rate adjustments on the
Mortgage Loan which are in compliance with the related Note and applicable law.

imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the
origination of such Loan, the Borrower agreed to such premium in exchange for a
monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii)
prior to the origination of such Loan, the Borrower was offered the option of
obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii)
the prepayment premium is disclosed to the Borrower in the loan documents
pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) such prepayment penalty will
not be imposed in excess of five years and unless the Loan was modified to
reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the
Note and the Borrower was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment
period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the
Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the
mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Borrower's default in making
the loan payments.

      (iii) Points and Fees. All points and fees related to the Loan were
disclosed in writing to the Borrower in accordance with applicable state and
federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Loan in an original
principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an
unprofitable origination, no borrower was charged "points and fees" (whether or
not financed) in an amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal
amount of such loan whichever is greater, such 5% limitation is calculated in
accordance with Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in
the Fannie Mae Selling Guide. For purposes of this representation, "points and
fees" (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder's fees and
charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the Loan, whether they
are paid to the Seller or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount
points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the
origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys' fees,

                                      E-15

title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments;
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local
transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do
not exceed 0.25 percent of the Loan.

      (jjj) Mandatory Arbitration. No Loan that was originated on or after
October 31, 2004, is subject to mandatory arbitration except when the terms of
the arbitration also contain a waiver provision that provides that in the event
of a sale or transfer of the Loan or interest in the Loan to Fannie Mae, the
terms of the arbitration are null and void and cannot be reinstated. The Seller
hereby covenants that the Seller or Servicer of the Loan, as applicable, will
notify the Borrower in writing within 60 days of the sale or transfer of the
Loan to Fannie Mae that the terms of the arbitration are null and void.

      (kkk) Loan Products. No Borrower was encouraged or required to select a
Loan product offered by the originator of the Loan which is a higher cost
product designed for less creditworthy Borrowers, unless at the time of the
origination of such Loan, such Borrower did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered by the originator of the Loan or any affiliate of the originator of such
Loan. If, at the time of loan application, the Borrower may have qualified for a
lower cost credit product than offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the
originator of the Loan, such originator referred the Borrower's application to
such affiliate for underwriting consideration.

      (lll) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for the Loan employs objective mathematical principles
which relate the Borrower's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed
payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the
Borrower's equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in
approving such credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at
the time of origination (application/approval) the Borrower had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Loan.

      (mmm) Fees and Charges. All fees and charges (including finance
charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
connection with the origination and servicing of the Loan has been disclosed in
writing to the Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation.

reporting data for the Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and
that for the Loan, Servicer has agreed to report one of the following statuses
each month as follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days,
etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off.

      (ooo) Residential Dwelling. The Loan is secured by a first priority or
second priority mortgage or deed of trust on real residential property that is
improved by a completed single-family residence. The original principal balance
