                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of July 15,
2003 (the "Agreement"), among FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as depositor
(the "Depositor"), LITTON LOAN SERVICING LP, as servicer (the "Servicer") and
DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, as trustee (the "Trustee").

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of twelve
classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A Certificates, (ii) the
Class S Certificates, (iii) the Class M-1 Certificates, (iv) the Class M-2
Certificates, (v) the Class M-3 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-4 Certificates,
(vii) the Class M-5 Certificates, (viii) the Class C Certificates, (ix) the
Class ARR-1 Certificates, (x) the Class ARR-2 Certificates, (xi) the Class R
Certificates and (xii) the Class R-X Certificates.

                                     REMIC 1

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat
the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans, the Arrearage
recovered on the Arrearage Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
subject to this Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts) as a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and
such segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC 1." The Class R-1
Interest will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC 1 for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax
law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the
Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance, and solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each of the REMIC 1
Regular Interests. None of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be certificated.

or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either
(x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such
document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no
later than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the
Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in
the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was
submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator,
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the
original lender's title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, the original or a copy of
a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by
the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy
thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any document that on
its face does not conform to the requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer
and the Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the
Custodian within 90 days. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver
such missing document within such time period, the Servicer (or, to the extent
provided in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the
Seller to either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with Section 2.03. In connection with the foregoing, it is understood and agreed
that the Trustee shall have no duty to discover any such defects except in the
course of performing its review of the Mortgage Files to the extent set forth
herein nor shall the Trustee have any liability in respect of such defect or
failure by the Seller to deliver any missing document within such period.

                  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cause the Assignments which were
delivered in blank to be completed and


                                       58

<PAGE>



to record all Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the
extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver
such assignments for recording within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event
that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment
prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience
and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of
Mortgage shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee and the
Depositor receive notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment, shall be submitted for
recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi)
upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or
more Delinquent. In the event of (i) through (vi) set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller to
deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any
event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Seller. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments,
such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for
such expenses by the Trust. In the event an Assignment is not recorded, the
Servicer will not have any liability for its failure to act on notices that were
not received and would have been had such Assignment been recorded, except with
respect to Mortgage Loans that are subject to provisions (i) through (vi) set
forth in this paragraph, if the Servicer shall have failed to timely request the
Seller to cause such Assignments to be recorded.

                  In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of
the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall cause
(at the Seller's expense) such endorsements to be completed in the following
form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse."

                  The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of
their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the
Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for
recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of
any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by
the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original within 365 days of its submission for recordation. In the event that
the Servicer cannot provide a copy of such document certified by the public
recording office within such 365 day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Custodian, within such 365 day period, a certificate of a Servicing Officer
which shall (A) identify the recorded


                                       59

<PAGE>



document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the
Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (C) state
the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to
record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known and (D) specify
the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be delivered to the
Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document certified by the public
recording office, the Servicer shall immediately deliver such document to the
Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording office will not certify
as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of such
document certified by an officer of the Servicer to be a true and complete copy
of the original to the Custodian.

                  SECTION 2.02.             Acceptance by Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the
review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in
the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer on or prior
to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 (or to cause the
Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian to have reviewed) each
Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each Original
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify to the Depositor and the
Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45
days after the Closing Date, with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan (or,
with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of
receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days
after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage
Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(1) and (2) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set
forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such
review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are


                                       60

<PAGE>



genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and
the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not to conform with
respect to any characteristics which are within the scope of the Trustee's (or
the Custodian's, as applicable) review as provided herein, at the conclusion of
its review, the Trustee shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor and the
Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Servicer (or
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach
of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders
in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.

                  SECTION 2.03.     Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
                                    by the Seller.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and the Servicer shall
request that the Seller deliver such missing document or that the Seller cure
such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of
such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such
missing document or if the Seller does not cure such defect or breach in all
material respects during such period, the Servicer (or, to the extent provided
in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject to
Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection


                                       61

<PAGE>



Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it
shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to
which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists
or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the
sole remedy against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach
available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, or
of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan, such
defect, non-delivery or breach shall not give rise to any obligation to purchase
or substitute for a Mortgage Loan unless and until (1) such defect, failure of
delivery or breach shall have had a material and adverse effect on the interests
of the Trustee or Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan (a "Material
Defect") and (2) a Realized Loss shall have occurred with respect to that
Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure on the related Mortgaged Property is rendered
impossible. In the event of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan with respect to
which a Material Defect shall have occurred, which Realized Loss is determined
following liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan, it is understood that the
Seller shall satisfy any repurchase or substitution obligation as set forth
above.

                  (b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the
Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06,
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material
respects.

                  (c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer
or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

                  (d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Seller delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee, and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as
are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing
that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition


                                       62

<PAGE>



thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any,
in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within 45 days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the
Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will
reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan
in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Seller shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall give or cause to be given written
notice to the Trustee, who shall forward such notice to the Certificateholders,
that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Seller, such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be
subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of
substitution.

                  For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment"), if any, by
which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds
the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month's interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal
to the Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the
related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File
or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and
as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.

                  In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

                  (e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)


                                       63

<PAGE>



of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties hereto. In connection therewith, the
Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made (i) by the Seller
if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results
from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the
affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any
representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(a) or 2.03(d), if made by the Seller, or Section 2.03(b),
if made by the Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the
Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04. Intentionally Omitted.

                  SECTION 2.05. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
                                Servicer.

                  The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and
to the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically
provided herein:

                  (i) The Servicer is a limited partnership duly formed, validly
         existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws
         of the State of Delaware and is duly authorized and qualified to
         transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be
         conducted by the Servicer in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is
         located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect
         such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing
         business laws of any such State, to the extent necessary to ensure its
         ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan and to service the Mortgage Loans
         in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

                  (ii) The Servicer has the full power and authority to conduct
         its business as presently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and
         perform, and to enter into and consummate, all transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement. The Servicer has duly authorized the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly
         executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement, assuming due
         authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor and the Trustee,
         constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer,
         enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally and by general principles of equity;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer
         hereunder, the consummation by the Servicer of any


                                       64

<PAGE>



         other of the transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of
         or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of
         business of the Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any
         term or provision of the limited partnership agreement of the Servicer
         or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of,
         or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement
         or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it may be
         bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Servicer
         of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
         body having jurisdiction over the Servicer; and the Servicer is not a
         party to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture or other
         agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute,
         order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
         agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which
         materially and adversely affects or, to the Servicer's knowledge, would
         in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the ability of the
         Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (y) the
         business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the
         Servicer taken as a whole or (z) the legality, validity or
         enforceability of this Agreement;

                  (iv) The Servicer is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to
         Section 203 and Section 211 of the National Housing Act. No event has
         occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,
         that would make the Servicer unable to comply with HUD eligibility
         requirements or that would require notification to HUD;

                  (v) The Servicer does not believe, nor does it have any reason
         or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
         made by it and contained in this Agreement;

                  (vi) No litigation is pending against the Servicer that would
         materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or
         enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to
         service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations
         hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;

                  (vii) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations known to it of, the Servicer before any court,
         administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering
         into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit
         or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of
         its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
         Agreement;

                  (viii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
         court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
         delivery and performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the
         Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation by it of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
         approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained
         prior to the Closing Date;

                  (ix) [reserved];

                  (x) Neither this Agreement nor any information, certificate of
         an officer, statement furnished in writing or report delivered to the
         Trustee by the Servicer in connection

         with the transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact;

                  (xi) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge unless
         it is waived in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01;
         and

                  (xii) The Servicer has fully furnished and will continue to
         fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
         implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
         favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax,
         Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
         (the "Credit Repositories") in a timely manner.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of
the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such
discovery) to the Servicer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice
by the Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Servicer
set forth in Section 2.05(xi) above which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer must
pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by depositing such amount into
the Collection Account. The foregoing shall not, however, limit any remedies
available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Seller made in its capacity as a party to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.06. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

                  The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust and the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows:

                  (i) This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
         similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
         limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
         proceeding at law or in equity);

                   (ii) Immediately prior to the sale and assignment by the
         Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each Mortgage Loan,
         the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Mortgage Loan
         (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the Seller) subject to no
         prior lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security interest,
         pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any nature;


                                       66

                  (iii) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred
         all right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on
         behalf of the Trust;

                  (iv) The Depositor has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to
         the Trustee on behalf of the Trust with any intent to hinder, delay or
         defraud any of its creditors;

                  (v) The Depositor has been duly incorporated and is validly
         existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware,
         with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct
         its business as presently being conducted;

                  (vi) The Depositor is not in violation of its articles of
         incorporation or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance
         of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained
         in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or
         other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or
         its properties may be bound, which default might result in any material
         adverse changes in the financial condition, earnings, affairs or
         business of the Depositor or which might materially and adversely
         affect the properties or assets, taken as a whole, of the Depositor;

                  (vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated thereby, do not and will not result in a material breach
         or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or, to the knowledge
         of the Depositor, constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage,
         deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
         the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor is bound or to which
         any of the property or assets of the Depositor is subject, nor will
         such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the articles
         of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or, to the best of the
         Depositor's knowledge without independent investigation, any statute or
         any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
         body having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its properties or
         assets (except for such conflicts, breaches, violations and defaults as
         would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
         Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement);

                  (viii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge without any
         independent investigation, no consent, approval, authorization, order,
         registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental
         agency or body of the United States or any other jurisdiction is
         required for the issuance of the Certificates, or the consummation by
         the Depositor of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
         except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
         qualifications as (a) may be required under State securities or Blue
         Sky laws, (b) have been previously obtained or (c) the failure of which
         to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the performance
         by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or
         enforceability of, this Agreement; and

                  (ix) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations
         pending before or, to the Depositor's knowledge, threatened by any
         court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the Depositor
         is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject: (a) which
         if determined adversely to the Depositor would have a material adverse
         effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of
         the Depositor; (b) asserting the invalidity of


                                       67

<PAGE>



         this Agreement or the Certificates; (c) seeking to prevent the issuance
         of the Certificates or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be; or (d)
         which might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
         Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability
         of, this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.07.             Issuance of Certificates.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage

                                   ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01.             Servicer to Act as Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the
extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

                  (i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or
         any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the
         related Mortgagor;

                  (ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
         Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

                  (iii) the Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing
         Advances; or

                  (iv) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
         compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
         particular transaction.

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver
relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan,
(ii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge is prohibited by applicable law or
(iii) the Servicer has not been provided with information sufficient to enable
it to collect the Prepayment Charge. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as
permitted by meeting the standard described in clause (iii) above, then the
Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to pay the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account
(to the extent paid by the Seller). If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than
as permitted by meeting the standards described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above, then as a remedy for the breach of such covenant, the Servicer shall pay
the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the
related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the
Servicer in respect of any Prepayment Charges waived other than as permitted
above shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.



                                       71

<PAGE>



                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trustee and
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the
Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer
shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules
and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy.
Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and
any Sub-Servicer a limited power of attorney in the form of Exhibit I, executed
by each payee or last endorsee, as applicable, of each of the Mortgage Notes and
each mortgagee or last assignee, as applicable, of each of the Mortgages and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder;
PROVIDED, such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared
by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall
not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such
powers of attorney.

                  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances
shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall
not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be
added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify


                                       72

<PAGE>



as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC
Provisions.

                  SECTION 3.02.    Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
                                   Sub-Servicers.

                  (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing
Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under
this Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee
has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such
Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing
Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such
Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub- Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided,
further, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or
defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions of a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing
and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively
deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's
execution and delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the


                                       73

related Sub-Servicing Agreement and (except as otherwise provided in Section
2.01) of the Originator and the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or to
purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on
account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in
Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01,
enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator and
the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not the
Originator or the Seller and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.03.             Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub- Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Servicer or the Trustee (if
the Trustee is acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is
then acting as Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer
(including termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).

                  SECTION 3.04.             Liability of the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub- Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

                  SECTION 3.05.     No Contractual Relationship Between
                                    Sub-Servicers and the Trustee or
                                    Certificateholders.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee or Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

                  SECTION 3.06.     Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                    Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section
7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the departing
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to
be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.

                  The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

                  SECTION 3.07.    Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180


                                       74

<PAGE>



days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or
interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as
"forbearance"). The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the
conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be
reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 3.08.      Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub- Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                  SECTION 3.09.     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
                                    Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and
shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in


                                       75

<PAGE>



no event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments,
all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose
of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority
of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in
a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a
tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub- Servicing
Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant
to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with
respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article X. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a
Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing
Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance
coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the
exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know,
is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or
the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made
and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage
being imposed, the Servicer will, promptly and to the extent required to avoid
loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary
to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the
extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient,
to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the
Servicing Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, is permitted by law and such
amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other
purposes set forth above.

                  SECTION 3.10.    Collection Account and Distribution Account.

                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, as and when received or as
otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or
made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or
interest on the Mortgage Loans


                                       76

<PAGE>



due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a
Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
         Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
         Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds and
         condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any
         particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase
         of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);

                  (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
         with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
         pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
         blanket policy deductibles;

                  (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
         purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 10.01;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03; and

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
         any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
         Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing
Fees, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and
ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as
additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance
Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the
references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be


                                       77

<PAGE>



withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges
collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of
any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on
each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or
before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer,
the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such
amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  (c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
         Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
         provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give written
         notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account
         maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The
         Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the
         location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
         change thereof.

                  (d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
         delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account
         (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards
         for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof)
         and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of
         the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have
         the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this
         subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
         for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be
         deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw
         such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
         amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
         addition, the Servicer, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below,
         shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the
         Trustee, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall so
         deposit, in the Distribution Account:

                  (i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;

                  (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
         Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;

                  (iv) any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and



                                       78

<PAGE>



                  (v) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to
         the Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section
         7.02.

                  SECTION 3.11.     Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                    Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 4.04:

                  (i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
         Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
         3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
         of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse itself for (a)
         any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which
         represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees),
         Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with
         respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 4.04; (b) any unreimbursed Advances with respect
         to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable
         Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation
         Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage
         Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for such unreimbursed
         Advances; or (c) subject to Section 4.04(b), any unreimbursed Advances
         to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future
         distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the
         preceding Distribution Date;

                  (iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay itself or any
         Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
         Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
         Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and (c) any
         Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, upon a
         Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
         Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
         Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds
         received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to
         reimburse the Servicer or any Sub- Servicer for Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to
         the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or
         investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;

                  (v) to pay the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
         has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 all
         amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
         substitution, and to pay itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
         has previously been purchased pursuant to Section 3.16(c) all amounts
         received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase;



                                       79

<PAGE>



                  (vi) to reimburse itself for any Advance or Servicing Advance
         previously made which it has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance
         in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;

                  (vii) to pay, or to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances in
         respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan
         pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

                  (viii) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by or
         reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.03;

                  (ix) to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;

                  (x) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred pursuant to
         Section 9.01(c)(i); and

                  (xiii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant
         to Section 10.01.

                  The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The
Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the
next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an Officers'
Certificate in the form described under Section 4.04(d) shall suffice for such
written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
         from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes,
         without priority:

                  (i) to make distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;

                  (ii) to pay itself the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 8.05;

                  (iii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
         Section 9.01(g);

                  (iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 10.01;

                  (v) to pay any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee
         pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to funds required
         to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 7.02 and Section 8.05; and

                  (vi) to pay to the Trustee, any interest or investment income
         earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account.

                  SECTION 3.12.     Investment of Funds in the Collection
                                    Account and the Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
         maintaining the Collection Account to invest the funds on deposit in
         such account, and the Trustee may direct any depository institution
         maintaining the Distribution Account to invest the funds on deposit in
         such account or to hold such funds uninvested (each such account, for
         the purposes of this Section 3.12, an "Investment Account"). All
         investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be in one or more
         Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
         maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
         immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
         withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person
         other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is
         managed or advised by a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate
         of the Trustee, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
         required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
         if the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed
         or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. All such Permitted
         Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
         investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name
         of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee
         of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession
         (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
         Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each
         such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any
         such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its
         agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer
         title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event
         amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in
         a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

                  (x) consistent with any notice required to be given
         thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
         Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
         to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
         amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

                  (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
         determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such
         Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
         respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

                  (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on
         behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and
         shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11,
         Section 3.31 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit
         in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount
         of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
         Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon realization
         of such loss.

                  (c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
         Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account the
         amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
         Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon
         realization of such loss.


                                       81

<PAGE>



Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may at its discretion, and without
liability, hold the funds in the Distribution Account uninvested.

                  (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

                  (e) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic
self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder
servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the
Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain
Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted
Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is
reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or
otherwise payable in respect of extraordinary Trust Fund expenses.

                  SECTION 3.13.    [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.14.     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors
                                    and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

                  (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) 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, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as
is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the
related hazard insurance policy and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed


                                       82

<PAGE>



that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall require any Mortgagor to obtain such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been
made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance
policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

                  (b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond
in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors
and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall
also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors
and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

                  SECTION 3.15.   Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                  Agreements.

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has actual knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable


                                       83

<PAGE>



under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate
the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any,
applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required
to take such action if in its sole business judgment the Servicer believes it is
not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such
rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes
it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if
any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence
apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement
from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed
to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall
be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the
Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original
Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall
apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as
shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it
applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take
or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the
extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption,
modification or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to
the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended
or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution, modification or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
executed original of such substitution, modification or assumption agreement,
which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16.       Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with
the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing


                                       84

<PAGE>



Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11(a) and Section 3.23.
The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
         3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any
         Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of,
         or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous
         substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not, on
         behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
         Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
         otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect
         to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the
         Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered
         to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
         "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
         the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
         Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law,
         unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its
         reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
         conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

                  (1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
         environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
         interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
         bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

                  (2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
         Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
         substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
         materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
         clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
         local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
         which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
         economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect
         to the affected Mortgaged Property.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  For the purposes of this Section 3.16(b), actual notice and
actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual notice to or actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer involved in the servicing of the relevant
Mortgage Loan. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge
imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information
relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.



                                       85

<PAGE>



                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.04(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan
which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.04. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting
Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.17(a),
the Trustee shall immediately deliver the Mortgage File and any related
documentation to the Servicer and will execute such documents provided to it as
are necessary to convey the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer.

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

                  (e) The Servicer shall not acquire any Mortgaged Property on
behalf of any REMIC created hereunder in connection with a default or imminent
default on a Foreclosure Restricted Mortgage Loan, if acquiring title to the
Mortgaged Property underlying such Mortgage Loan would cause the adjusted basis,
for federal income tax purposes, of such Mortgaged Properties owned by REMIC 1
after foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by REMIC 1 other than
"qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code,


                                       86

<PAGE>



to exceed 0.75% of the adjusted basis of the assets of REMIC 1. If the adjusted
basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets
owned by REMIC 1, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments"
within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, exceed 1.00% of the adjusted
basis of the assets of REMIC 1 immediately after the distribution of principal
and interest on any Distribution Date, the Servicer shall dispose of enough of
such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, for cash or otherwise, so that the
adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other
assets owned by REMIC 1, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than
1.00% of the adjusted basis of the assets of REMIC 1.

                  SECTION 3.17.     Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
                                    Files.

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer)
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days,
release and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any
request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in
written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File to
the Servicer within three Business Days, and the Trustee shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request
for Release certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the
request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the
name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
Request for Release, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format,
from a


                                       87

<PAGE>



Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be
released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee within three Business
Days.

                  (c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the
case may be, copies of, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.

                  SECTION 3.18.       Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section
3.29 or Section 6.04, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only
to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer
shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO
Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned
on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors
or by a Sub-Servicer and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.

                  SECTION 3.19.     Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
                                    Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward, upon request, to the Trustee and the Depositor the most
current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20.      Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not
later than March 15th of each calendar year, commencing in 2004, an Officers'
Certificate (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O) stating, as
to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer
during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made
under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers'
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21.     Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                    Report.

                   Not later than March 15th of each calendar year, commencing
in 2004, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm
of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report
stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain
matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by
such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon
request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by
the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.22.     Access to Certain Documentation; Filing of
                                    Reports by Trustee.



                                       89

<PAGE>



                  (a) The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee and to
any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such
access.

                  (b)(i) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K
and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and
the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder,
and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the
Securities and Exchange Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval
System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such other entity). The
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute
any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power
of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from
the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form
10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.

                  (ii) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. The
Servicer shall provide the Servicer Certification (defined in Section
3.22(b)(iii)) to the Trustee and the Depositor on March 15th of each year (which
occurs each year fifteen days prior to March 30th of such year). The Trustee
shall prepare such Form 10-K and provide the Depositor with such Form 10-K not
later than March 20th of each year. Following its receipt thereof, the Depositor
shall execute such Form 10-K and provide the original of such Form 10-K to the
Trustee not later than March 25th (or, if the applicable March 25th is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of each year; provided, however,
that if the filing of such Form 10-K shall be required to occur on a date
earlier than March 30th of each year as may be required by the Exchange Act and
the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the
time periods for preparation and execution of such Form 10-K set forth in this
sentence shall be adjusted accordingly). Such Form 10-K when filed shall include
as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under
Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described under Section 3.21, in each
case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are
not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including
such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the
Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting


                                       90

<PAGE>



from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include
a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 (the
"Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor
in charge of securitization.

                  (iii) In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-2) for the benefit of the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an
analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K),
and (y) the Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit N-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their officers,
directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the
"Servicer Certification").

                  In addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section
3.22(b) caused by the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith, and (B) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates
from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon (I) the failure of the Servicer to
timely deliver the Servicer Certification or (II) any material misstatement in
the Servicer Certification. If the indemnification provided for herein is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i) the Trustee
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the
Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(b) caused by the Trustee's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with
the Servicer Certification and the related obligations of the Servicer under
this Section 3.22(b).

                  (iv) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.

                  (v) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.

                  (vi) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 3.22(b) comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.22(b) in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 3.22(b); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible
for executing any Form 10-K or the Certification.


                                       91

Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the
Depositor under the Exchange Act.

                  SECTION 3.23.     Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                    Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the
third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of
such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect
that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  (b) The Servicer shall separately account for all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property and
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest
income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

                  (c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any
and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the
manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
(subject to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section
3.23(a))as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.
In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in
the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event
more than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues
received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property including, without limitation:



                                       92

<PAGE>



                  (i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
         REO Property;

                  (ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
         REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

                  (iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
         Property.

                  To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:

                  (A) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend
         any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its
         terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from
         Real Property;

                  (B) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any
         New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
         Property;

                  (C) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than
         the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
         only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or
         other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage
         Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of
         the Code; or

                  (D) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property
         on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the
         Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the REMIC, in
which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.

                  The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

                  (1) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
         inconsistent herewith;

                  (2) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
         to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
         incurred in connection with the operation


                                       93

<PAGE>



         and management of such REO Property, including those listed above and
         remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the
         Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days
         following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

                  (3) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to
         any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties
         and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with
         respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

                  (4) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to
         the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
         obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO
         Property.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by
it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the
prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or
this Section 3.23(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale
for other consideration).

                  (g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect
to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any


                                       94

<PAGE>



Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code,
respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the
reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.

                  SECTION 3.24.     Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                    Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Actuarial Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date and (B) 50% of its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the
related Due Period. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for
any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such
amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed
therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to
pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on
Simple Interest Mortgage Loans or Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 3.25.    [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.26.     Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                    Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.27.     Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone or
mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of
refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may solicit any
Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of
mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or
verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan,
another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the mortgagor or the
mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer


                                       95

<PAGE>



or any of its Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other
additional products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists, newspaper, radio, telephone and television advertisements shall
not constitute solicitation under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited
from responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an
agent of a Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in
its monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing

                  SECTION 3.28.      Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2003-1,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2003-1." On the Closing Date, the Depositor
will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account $1,000.

                  On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described in Section 4.01(d), rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to
the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(e). In addition, without
duplication on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account on behalf of the Class C Certificateholders,
pursuant to Section 4.01(d), from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class C
Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on
deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the aggregate amount on
deposit therein is equal to $1,000.

                  On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net
WAC Rate Reserve Account (other than $1,000 as set forth above) after the
payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be retained in the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On the Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates have been reduced to zero, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for
such Distribution Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Trustee
shall withdraw any amount on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account and shall distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates. In addition, upon any earlier termination of the Trust, after the
payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee shall withdraw any amount on deposit in
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and shall distribute such amount to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class C
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to the Holders of the Class C Interest
and by REMIC 7 to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. The Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account will be an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning
of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to
the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates of Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular
interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described in Section 4.01(d) on each Distribution Date as to which there is any
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class
C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.

                  At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class C Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to invest the
funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or
advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority
in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
invest the funds in such account in the following Permitted Investment for so
long as such Permitted Investment is managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of
the Trustee and is of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of
Permitted Investments: Deutsche Bank Treasury Money Fund No. 835.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to
receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of
any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

                  SECTION 3.29.     Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a
financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the
documentation for which complies with Section 3.29(e) below, under which (1) the
Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for
any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously


                                       97

<PAGE>



assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a "Lender"), which, in
the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,
assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on
behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an
"Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to
fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee,
Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may
enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders
be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to
the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which
an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances,
(A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement
and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance
Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer's
Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or
otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that
may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant
of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

                  (b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the
Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee
at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance
Facility Notice"), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and
(b) the identity of the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to
Section 3.29(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and
(vii) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing
Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts"). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i)
shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof, assuming
the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and
(ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof to
the extent permitted under Section 3.29(e) below.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Facility Person, shall be entitled to receive
reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof, which
entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a
written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof.
Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to
receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's
Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account
all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the
avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only
be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) clauses
(ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) of this Agreement and shall not
otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be on
deposit in the Distribution Account or that are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to any provision hereunder, and (ii) none of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders


                                       98

<PAGE>



shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance
Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer's Assignee, as
applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a),
(ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii). An Advance Facility may be terminated by the
joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing
Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in
the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. None of the Depositor or the
Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any
additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any
Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility
to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of
Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer hereby
agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the
Trust Fund resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Financing Person.
The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon
request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts
advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Financing
Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information
provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be
liable for any errors in such information.

                  (d) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or
pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose
obligations are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for
qualification as a Sub-Servicer.

                  (e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance
Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance
Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a
loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance
and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be
allocated on a "first-in, first out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee
shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to
Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such
predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such
Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person
for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent
the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to
such Advance Financing Person or Servicer's Assignee.

                  (f) For purposes of any Officer's Certificate of the Servicer
made pursuant to Section 4.04(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein
may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its
determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become
a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making
such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall
have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.

                  (g) Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as


                                       99

<PAGE>



described generally in this Section 3.29, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each party hereto of any such
amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed
by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are
obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds
received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are
not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable
to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance
Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the
Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement
for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have
any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing
arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.

         WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts remaining
         on deposit therein, the aggregate of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
         for such Distribution Date and distribute such amount in the following

each indirect participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect
participating firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be
responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.
All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are

the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by

<PAGE>



                  (a) On the second Business Day following each Determination
Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail
(or by such other means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to
time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not
later than the second Business Day following each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to
the information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information
reasonably available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may
reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to
Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.03. The Trustee shall not be
responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it
by the Servicer.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due
during the related Due Period in respect of the Actuarial Mortgage Loans, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the Close of
Business on the related Determination Date, (ii) the aggregate amount of
interest payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related Due
Period in respect of the Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments
were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on the
related Determination Date and (iii) with respect to each REO Property, which
REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Due Period and as to
which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Due
Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on
such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net
income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a
delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would
have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

                  On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or
(ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future
distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Servicer in discharge of
any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future
distribution used by the Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the
preceding sentence or to reimburse the Servicer for Advances previously made as
permitted by Section 3.11(a)(ii)(c) shall be appropriately reflected in the
Servicer's records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection
Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to
Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the
total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances or reimburse the
Servicer for Advances previously made. The Trustee will provide notice


                                       108

<PAGE>



to the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business on any Servicer Remittance
Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on
such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the
related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

                  (c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have
been recovered, or a Final Recovery Determination has been made thereon.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the
Trustee.

                  (c) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed

Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the

Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTM5 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01.             The Certificates.

                  Each of the Class A Certificates, the Class S Certificates,
the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class ARR Certificates, the Class C Certificates
and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto
as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed, authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor concurrently with
the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. The Class A
Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be
initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage
Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $50,000 and integral dollar
multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each such
Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the
denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the
Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Class on the Closing
Date. The Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates are issuable in any
Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all such percentages
for each such Class totals 100% and no more than ten Certificates of each Class
may be issued and outstanding at any one time.

                  The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for
herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A Certificates
and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The other
Classes of Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.

                  SECTION 5.02.             Registration of Transfer and
                                            Exchange of Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate
at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the offices
of the Trustee's agent located at c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services,

55 Water Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041 and, in the
case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, with respect to (i) each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof
may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three
separate certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3
Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii)
each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for four separate certificates, each
representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-4
Interest, the Class R-5 Interest, the Class R-6 Interest and the Class R-7
Interest that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

                  (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership
and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all
purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of
the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii)
the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this
Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf
by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its
agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

                  All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry


                                       114

<PAGE>



Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for
which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations
with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable
to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

                  (c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the
Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor
is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole
option, with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates
representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51%
advise the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered
certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the
Servicer's expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the
Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

                  (d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Class M-3 Certificate, Class M-4 Certificate, Class M-5 Certificate, Class ARR
Certificate, Class C Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private
Certificates") shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, except with respect to
the initial transfer of any Private Certificates by the Depositor (i) unless
such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment
letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a
written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to
the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a
transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L)
and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,


                                       115

<PAGE>



indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of the 1933 Act.

                  No transfer of a Class ARR Certificate, Class C Certificate or
Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject
to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly,
on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such
transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trustee is provided with an
Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor.

                  Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to
have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 90-59, 55
Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021
(July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE
2002-41 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c)
the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance
company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or
interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.

                  If any Mezzanine Certificate, Class ARR Certificate, Class C
Certificate or Residual Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs, the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any


                                       116

<PAGE>



purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that
acquisition or holding.

                  Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:

                  (i)      Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
                           Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a
                           Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
                           Trustee of any change or impending change in its
                           status as a Permitted Transferee.

                  (ii)     No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a
                           Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest
                           is a PRO RATA undivided interest.

                  (iii)    In connection with any proposed transfer of any
                           Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the
                           Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the
                           transfer, require delivery to it, in form and
                           substance satisfactory to it, of each of the
                           following:

                  (A)      an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the
                           proposed transferee to the effect that such
                           transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is
                           not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual
                           Certificate that is the subject of the proposed
                           transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
                           Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

                  (B)      a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect
                           that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by
                           and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable
                           to the Residual Certificates.

                  (iv)     Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
                           Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of
                           the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
                           null and void and shall vest no rights in the
                           purported transferee. If any purported transferee
                           shall, in violation of the provisions of this
                           Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate,
                           then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate
                           that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery
                           that the registration of transfer of such Residual
                           Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
                           Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
                           retroactive to the date of registration of transfer
                           of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be
                           under no liability to any Person for any registration
                           of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
                           not permitted by this Section or for making any
                           distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the
                           Holder thereof or taking any other action with
                           respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
                           Agreement so long as the Trustee received the
                           documents specified in


                                       117

<PAGE>



clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time
such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be
distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

                  (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the
obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any
other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to
arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale,
net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or
its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the
Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable
for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security
for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall
be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result
of its exercise of such discretion.

                  (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee upon receipt of reasonable
compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons
specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to
compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of
residual interests to disqualified organizations.

                  The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply
to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i)
written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

                  (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant
to its standard procedures.

                  SECTION 5.03.     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
                                    Certificates.

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there
is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such


                                       118

<PAGE>



security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section,
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.

                  SECTION 5.04.             Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person,
including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner
of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer,
the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05.             Appointment of Paying Agent.

                  (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to
Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and
shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the
Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide
information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent
hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be
the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which
appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor.

                  (b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than
the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all
requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of
Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

                         THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

                  SECTION 6.01.    Liability of the Servicer and the Depositor.

                  The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by
Servicer herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Depositor.

                  SECTION 6.02.     Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of
                                    the Obligations of, the Servicer or the
                                    Depositor.

                  Any entity into which the Servicer or Depositor may be merged
or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor Servicer.

                  SECTION 6.03.      Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and
                                     Others.

                  Neither the Servicer or the Depositor nor any of the directors
or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be
under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or
any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason
of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder; provided, further, that this provision
shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that
amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation
Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee
or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Servicer and the Depositor, and any director or officer
or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer or the Depositor may undertake
any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this


                                       120

Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the
Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section
3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account. The
Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04
or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior
to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior
to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer
solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

                  SECTION 6.04.             Servicer Not to Resign.

                  The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer
and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                  Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no
Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto
shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this
Agreement.

                  The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent
to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all of the Servicer's right,
title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights
Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders and (ii) provided that a Servicer
Event of Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the
Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the
Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in
accordance with Section 7.02, appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its
designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment,
the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a) hereof and agrees to be subject
to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties
of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of
the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto
shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.

                  SECTION 6.05.             Delegation of Duties.

                  In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time
may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its
Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards
comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve
the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties
and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.
Except as provided in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results
in the delegee subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its
duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer's Affiliates or their
respective successors and assigns.

                  SECTION 6.06.             Reserved.

                  SECTION 6.07.             Inspection.

                  The Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, shall afford the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such
obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee its most
recent publicly available financial statements and such other information
relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.01.             Servicer Events of Termination.

                  (a) If any one of the following events ("Servicer Events of
         Termination") shall occur and be continuing:

                  (i) (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance; or
         (B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection
         Account or Distribution Account any deposit required to be made under
         the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of
         one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such
         failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the
         Servicer and the Trustee by any Holders of a Regular Certificate
         evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                  (ii) The failure by the Servicer to make any required
         Servicing Advance which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30
         days, or the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any
         material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the
         Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues
         unremedied for a period of 30 days, after the date (A) on which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Trustee by any
         Holders of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting
         Rights or (B) of actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing
         Officer of the Servicer; or

                  (iii) The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a
         court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
         premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or
         liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership,
         readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
         proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
         the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for
         a period of 60 days; or

                  (iv) The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation,
         consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator
         or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
         of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the

         readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
         proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
         have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall
         have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period
         of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
         its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make
         an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend
         payment of its obligations; or

                  (v) Any failure by the Servicer of the Servicer Termination
Test;

                  (b) then, and in each and every such case, so long as a
Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable
grace period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is
not made by 11:00 A.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following
the Servicer Remittance Date (provided the Trustee shall give the Servicer
notice of such failure to advance by 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and
to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee, or a successor
servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such
Advance and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Servicer
and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, the Trustee
shall, at the direction of the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then
given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of
Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as
servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be
given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Servicer. On or after the
receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the
Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section; and, without limitation, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-
fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor
Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee
of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the
Servicer's functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to
such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to
the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be
deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO
Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this
Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall
be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the
Trust.

                  SECTION 7.02.      Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee,
if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is
approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions


                                       124

<PAGE>



set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its
capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations
of the Servicer to make advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in
its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of
information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall
be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the
above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if
the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any
such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of
payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the
Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other
compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the
Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any
liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of
the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

                  (b) Any successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee,
shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a
fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.14.

                  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if
such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such
costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the
successor Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust).

                  (c) In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor
hereby agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee
of a letter signed by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when


                                       125

<PAGE>



notification of such event shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder
the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall,
in accordance with Section 7.02, appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its
designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment,
the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a
successor Servicer set forth above (including, but not limited to the
requirement that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result
in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the
Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee agrees to
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.03.             Waiver of Defaults.

                  The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as
servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority
Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on
a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer
Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to
the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 7.04.             Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.

                  (b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event
which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of
such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have
been waived or cured.

                  SECTION 7.05.      Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which
accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01.             Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has
knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or other
instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements
of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders.

                  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

                  (i) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
         Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of
         Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
         Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
         Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
         of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
         Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
         Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the
         part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
         of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
         therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
         conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

                  (ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error
         of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
         unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
         ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
         to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
         faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority
         Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting
         any


                                       127

         proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or
         omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
         under this Agreement; and

                  (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
         failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer
         referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or of the
         existence of any Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible
         Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual
         knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of
         such failure from the Depositor, the Servicer or the Majority
         Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02.     Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution,
         Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties, and the manner of obtaining consents and
         of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
         Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
         the Trustee may prescribe;

                  (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
         Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
         respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
         good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

                  (iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
         unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the
         Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
         shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be
         answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
         performance of any such act;



                                       128

<PAGE>



                  (iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
         taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
         authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
         it by this Agreement;

                  (v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination
         and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may
         have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
         order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in
         writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder; provided, however,
         that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
         costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
         making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
         reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
         terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
         against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such
         proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
         paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by
         the Servicer upon demand and, if not reimbursed by the Servicer, shall
         be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate
         from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
         prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;

                  (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
         liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
         hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be
         required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only
         for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer;

                  (vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys, custodians or nominees;

                  (viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary
         act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and
         the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
         willful misconduct in the performance of such act;

                  (ix) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
         resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account
         or the REO Account made at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to
         Section 3.12; and

                  (x) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
         compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic
         self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator,
         shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect
         to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to
         effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
         effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such
         compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or
         payable pursuant to Section 3.11.

                  SECTION 8.03.     Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or
                                    Mortgage Loans.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee


                                       129

<PAGE>



assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans
or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The
Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any
Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance
of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency
of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment;
the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any
Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Originator, the
Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this
Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or
representation prior to the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of
any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by
or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being
understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that
it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub- Servicer taken in the name of the
Trustee; the failure of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any
duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the
Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee
shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to
perform its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Trustee's duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless
the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer).

                  SECTION 8.04.             Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the
Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.

                  SECTION 8.05.             Trustee Fee and Expenses.

                  (a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee prior to making any
distributions to Certificateholders. The Trustee, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including


                                       130

<PAGE>



expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee, including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in
the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting
from a breach of the Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement for
which the Trustee is indemnified under Section 8.05(b) or (ii) any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by
reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder
or as a result of a breach of the Trustee's obligations under Article X hereof.
Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided by this Section
8.05(a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund
that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee,
may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from
the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee from, and hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the
Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the Servicer for actions prior to such resignation or
removal. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from
the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

                  SECTION 8.06.           Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such
entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the
Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to
which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such
Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable
entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07.             Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning


                                       131

<PAGE>



Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall
have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall be
legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor or the
Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

                  The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the
Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to
appoint a successor trustee in accordance with this Section.

                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.

                  SECTION 8.08.             Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become
effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of
such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular
Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as
provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the
appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.



                                                        132

<PAGE>



                  SECTION 8.09.   Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

                  Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.

                  SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be
located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject
to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the
fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

                  Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:

                  (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
         imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
         exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
         co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
         co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
         joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
         jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
         (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
         hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
         such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
         obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion
         thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
         singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
         direction of the Trustee;

                  (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
         reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and



                                       133

<PAGE>



                  (iii) the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any
         time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
         co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
         Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or
         remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

                  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Depositor and the Servicer.

                  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.11.   Limitation of Liability.

                  The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its
individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of
the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the
Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by
the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

                  SECTION 8.12.     Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
                                    Possession of Certificates.

                  (a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or
the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.

                  (b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the
Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable prior notice during normal
business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of
its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for
performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor,
the


                                       134

<PAGE>



Servicer and any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial
statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the
Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the
Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such
books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee's
duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action
or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 8.13.     Suits for Enforcement.

                  In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by
the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the
Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, or may,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of
any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal,
equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject
to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the
rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 8.14.      Waiver of Bond Requirement.

                  The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder
hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any
part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with
any court, agency or body whatsoever.

                                    Appraisal Requirement.

                  The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder

                              REMIC ADMINISTRATION

                  SECTION 9.01.     REMIC Administration.

                  (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement
shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual
interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.

                  (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (c) The Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any
tax audit of any REMIC (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or
any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any REMIC that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the
expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)
to the extent provided in Section 8.05.

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the
REMICs' federal and state tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as
the direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

                  (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding
the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as
defined in the REMIC Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect
to REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each
such REMIC. The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the
largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as defined
in the REMIC Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect to REMIC
4, REMIC 5, REMIC 6 and REMIC 7 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each
such REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on
behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization
and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required
by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority,
request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter
into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute
of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of
any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.

                  (f) The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates
shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create
or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither
the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take
any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take
(or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if
taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such
REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on
Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of
such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicer,
or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action
could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no
such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

                  (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due
any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a
Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out
of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of
other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts
otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject
to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax,
including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination that such REMIC is
domiciled in the State of California for state tax purposes by virtue of the
location of the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC
when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a
determination, in the event that the Holder of the related Residual Certificate
fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.

                  (h) The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall,
for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

                  (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any
REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with
respect to eligible substitute mortgage loans.

                  (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other
compensation for services.

                  (k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in
2004, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an
Officers' Certificate stating the Servicer's compliance with the provisions of
this Section 9.01.

                  (l) The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification
Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable
method for all tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.

                  SECTION 9.02.     Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall
sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a
disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created
hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell
or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept
any contributions to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created
hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual
Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of
interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the
assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be
subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 9.03.     Indemnification with Respect to Certain
                                    Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

                  (a) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC,
loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result
of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the
Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction
of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

                  (b) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC,
loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result
of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against
any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or
inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual
Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the
Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the
rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no
event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that
is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential
damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest
on the Certificates).

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 10.01.            Termination.

                  (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after
the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee
upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii)
the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust,
(iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described
below, (iv) the Distribution Date in August 2031 and (v) direction by the
Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 100%, with the consent of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof.

                  The Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
C Certificates (unless any such Holder constituting such majority is the Seller,
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or an Affiliate of either of them), or if such
Holders fail to exercise such option or if any such Holder constituting such
majority is the Seller, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or an Affiliate of
either of them, the Servicer (with the written consent of the Depositor or an
Affiliate thereof, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) (either such
majority Holders or the Servicer, as applicable, the "Terminator"), may, at its
option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate of the
Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to
scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent
received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during
the related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Original Mortgage Loans on the Cut-
off Date, by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the
outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of
(i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to
scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent
received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during
the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and
(ii) fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined
and as agreed upon as of the close of business on the third Business Day next
preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the
related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c) by (x) the Servicer, if
it is the Terminator, (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in
the Class C Certificates and (z) if the Class A Certificates or a Class of
Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of
the termination, the Trustee, provided that if this clause (z) applies to such
determination, such determination shall be based solely upon an appraisal
obtained as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through
the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees


                                       140

<PAGE>



allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts (the "Termination Price"); provided, however,
such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to
result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary
to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes secured primarily by the
Class C Certificates and issued by a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to the
Indenture between such issuer and the Trustee as indenture trustee. If the
determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Servicer, if it is the
Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C
Certificates and the Trustee as provided in (ii) above, such determination shall
be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, if
it is the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class C Certificates and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A)
such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the
Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
appraisal.

                  In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Terminator shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have
occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

                  Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of
the Termination Price.

                  (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution
Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon
which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Terminator,
by letter to the Certificate Insurer and to the Certificateholders mailed not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and
(3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

                  (c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such
Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of
the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder,
to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage
Loans, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any
such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

                  (d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before
such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly


                                       141

<PAGE>



following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed
in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and
credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a
separate Servicing Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the
Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage
Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled
to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the
Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility
for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the Residual
Certificateholders for payment.

                  SECTION 10.02.  Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator exercises its purchase
         option as provided in Section 10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in
         accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
         Trustee shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the
         effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of
         this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on
         "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of
         the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to
         fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
         outstanding:

                  (i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the
         Terminator shall adopt and the Trustee shall sign a plan of complete
         liquidation of each REMIC created hereunder meeting the requirements of
         a "Qualified Liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any
         regulations thereunder; and

                  (ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
         complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
         the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the
         Terminator for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan of complete
         liquidation.

                  (b) In the event that the Trust is terminated pursuant to
         Section 10.01(a)(v), the Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of
         Counsel to the effect that the termination satisfies the requirements
         of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1.

                  (c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
         hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i)
         adopt such a plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders
         hereby appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan)
         as appropriate and (ii) to take such other action in connection
         therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plan of
         complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01.     Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee; and without the consent of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions herein (iii) to amend the provisions of Section 3.22(b) or (iv) to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder as evidenced by either (a) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (b) written notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency.
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel or written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be
required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 3.22(b).

                  In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates or distributions
which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the
Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either
(i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency)
in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage
Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required
by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of
such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such
amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.

                  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement
unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at
the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created
hereunder constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
or cause any REMIC created


                                       143

<PAGE>



hereunder constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made
in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer
and each Rating Agency.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

                  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 11.02.     Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is
subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property
records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or
all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall

                  SECTION 11.03.    Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

                  The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i)

take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.

                  Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as

members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any
liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

relating hereto brought in any such courts, irrevocably waives any claim that
any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in any inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object,
with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party, provided that
service of process has been made by any lawful means.

effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and
the Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "act" of the
Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of

         evidencing the Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to
         the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to the
         Trust consisting of first lien adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage
         loans (the "Mortgage Loans")

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as
set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class
M-3 Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal
Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class M-3
Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not
guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Trustee referred to below or
any of their respective affiliates.

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class M-3 Certificate (obtained by
dividing the Denomination of this Class M-3 Certificate by the Original Class
Certificate Principal Balance) in certain monthly distributions with respect to
a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset
Securities Corp. (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 15, 2003 (the "Agreement") among the
Depositor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as servicer (the "Servicer"), and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Class M-3 Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class M-3 Certificate by virtue
of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class
M-4 Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal
Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class M-4
Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not
guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Trustee referred to below or
any of their respective affiliates.

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class M-4 Certificate (obtained by
dividing the Denomination of this Class M-4 Certificate by the Original Class
Certificate Principal Balance) in certain monthly distributions with respect to
a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset
Securities Corp. (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 15, 2003 (the "Agreement") among the
Depositor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as servicer (the "Servicer"), and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Class M-4 Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class M-4 Certificate by virtue
of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                           Asset-Backed Certificates,

designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2003-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2003-1 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing
a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender

or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Terminator may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans
at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that
no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the
Distribution Date in August 2031 and (iv) direction by the Holders of each Class
of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 100%, with the consent of the Servicer.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as
set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class
M-5 Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal
Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class M-5
Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the

Certificate Principal Balance) in certain monthly distributions with respect to

transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be

each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding

Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2003-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2003-1 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing
a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender

of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust offices
or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Terminator may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans
at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that
no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the
Distribution Date in August 2031 and (iv) direction by the Holders of each Class
of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 100%, with the consent of the Servicer.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

         the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to the

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as
set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class C
Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal
Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class C
Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not
guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Trustee referred to below or
any of their respective affiliates.

         This certifies that GREENWICH CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class C Certificate (obtained
by dividing the Denomination of this Class C Certificate by the Original Class
Certificate Principal Balance) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust
consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset
Securities Corp. (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 15, 2003 (the "Agreement") among the
Depositor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as servicer (the "Servicer"), and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Class C Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Class C Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2003-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2003-1 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing
a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender

of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust offices
or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Terminator may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans
at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that
no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the
Distribution Date in August 2031 and (iv) direction by the Holders of each Class
of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 100%, with the consent of the Servicer.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this

                           Asset-Backed Certificates,
                                  Series 2003-1

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2003-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2003-1 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing
a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust offices or agencies of the
Trustee as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Terminator may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans
at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that
no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the
Distribution Date in August 2031 and (iv) direction by the Holders of each Class
of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 100%, with the consent of the Servicer.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

                SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

         Section 2.01 SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The Seller, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby sell, assign, set over,
and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, (i) all of its right,
title and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-off

Cut-off Date; (ii) property which secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been

         Section 2.02 OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND SELLER UPON SALE. In
connection with any transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller further
agrees, at its own expense on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to cause its

Trustee a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage
Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date, (i) its
account number and (ii) the Cut-off Date Principal Balance. Such file, which
forms a part of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall also be
marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made
a part of this Agreement.

                  In connection with any conveyance by the Seller, the Seller
shall on behalf of the Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, as
assignee of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, the following
documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan:

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, with all riders thereto,
         endorsed either (A) in blank, in which case the Trustee shall cause the
         endorsement to be completed or (B) in the following form: "Pay to the
         order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without
         recourse" or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost
         Note Affidavit stating that the original mortgage note was lost,
         misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related mortgage
         note; provided, however, that such substitutions of Lost Note
         Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to
         Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which
         is less than or equal to 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off
         Date;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage, with all riders thereto, with
         evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded power of
         attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
         with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of
         attorney has been submitted for recording but has not been returned
         from the applicable public recording office, has been lost or is not
         otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as
         the case may be, certified to be a true and complete copy of the
         original submitted for recording;



                                        3

<PAGE>



                  (iii) an original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable
         for recording, assigning the related Mortgage either (A) in blank or
         (B) to "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without
         recourse"

                  (iv) an original copy of any intervening assignment of
         Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee;

                  (v) the original or a certified copy of lender's title
         insurance policy; and

                  (vi) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
         written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.

                  The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee
that it has caused the appropriate entries to be made in its general accounting
records to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the
Trustee and constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.02(ii), (iii)
or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either
(x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such
document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser, no later than the
Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the
case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y)
above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the
Purchaser, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of
such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true
and complete copy of the original. If the original lender's title insurance
policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section
2.02(v) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser, the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company,
with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Purchaser,
promptly upon receipt thereof. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting
a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including,
but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the
Seller shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document
to the Purchaser. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such
missing document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

                  The Seller shall cause the Assignments which were delivered in
blank to be completed and shall cause all Assignments referred to in Section
2.02(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.02(iv) hereof to be
recorded. The Seller shall be required to deliver such assignments for recording
within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such


                                        4

<PAGE>



Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect
cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience
and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of

<PAGE>



                  (e) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any
and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements
and as to disbursements of any escrow funds thereof have been complied with or
any incomplete improvements are immaterial in nature or are weather related and
do not significantly affect the value of the Mortgaged Property and no repair

                  (f) The related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien
as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, on the related Mortgaged Property,

having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage except for (i) liens for
real estate taxes and special assessments, (ii) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of
the date of recording of the related Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of
record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and (iii)
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 related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged, and the Seller is the sole owner
thereof and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser
free and clear of any lien or encumbrance or other security interest;

                  (g) No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud
or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the
part of any person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser,
any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such
Mortgage Loan;

                  (h) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title
Association lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form
of policy of insurance, issued by a title insurer legally permitted to do
business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring the Originator directly or as successor, and the Originator's
successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan subject to the exceptions set
forth in (f)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.01. The Originator, or its
predecessor is named as the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect. No
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and the
Seller, has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

                  (i) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, 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 Purchaser to the trustee under the
deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
mortgagor;

                  (j) At the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan,
and to the best of the Seller's knowledge as of the Closing Date, no improvement

such improvement is currently in violation of any applicable zoning law


                                        7

<PAGE>



or regulation. At the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and to
the best of the Seller's knowledge as of the Closing Date, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required in connection with the origination of any
Mortgage Loan with respect to the 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;

                  (k) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form, except
for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and is acceptable for recording,
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

                  (l) The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste;

                  (m) If the Mortgage Loan provides that the Mortgage Rate on
the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan may be adjusted from time to
time, all of the terms of the related Mortgage pertaining to mortgage rate
adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal
balance are enforceable and such adjustments will not affect the priority of the
Mortgage lien;

                  (n) Any requirements of any laws or regulations, including
usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, fair credit reporting, predatory and abusive lending, unfair
collection practice, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws and
regulations, applicable to the origination and servicing of such Mortgage Loan
have been complied with in all material respects;

                  (o) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all parties which
have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee
or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) (A) in substantial compliance with any and all required
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property
is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified
to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations,
national banks, a Federal Home Loan Bank or the Federal Reserve Bank, or (4) not
doing business in such state;

                  (p) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage; the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly
executed by such parties; any obligations of the holder of the related Mortgage
Note, Mortgage and other loan documents have been complied with in all material
respects. Each Mortgagor is a natural person;

                  (q) No condemnation proceeding of any part of the Mortgaged
Property is pending or to the best of the Seller's knowledge, threatened;

                  (r) The related Mortgage Note or Mortgage contains customary
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including realization by judicial, or, if applicable,
non-judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to
the Mortgagor which would prevent a sale of the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to


                                        8

<PAGE>



foreclose the Mortgage. Except as disclosed to the Purchaser, the Mortgagor has
not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested
or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of
1940;

                  (s) Except as otherwise disclosed to the Purchaser by the
Seller, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending, or to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Mortgage Loans before or by
any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body;

                  (t) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage, and 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. All payments required to be made up to the close of business on
February 1, 2003 for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note
have been made. The Seller has not induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan;

                  (u) There is no mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or
material affecting the Mortgaged Property which is or may be a lien prior to, or
equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except those insured against by
the title insurance policy referred to above;

                  (v) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property related to the
applicable Mortgage Loan are insurable by a generally acceptable insurer against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and other such hazards as are
customary in the area where such Mortgaged Property is located; or in the case
of a condominium or planned unit development ("PUD") project that is not covered
by an individual policy, the condominium or PUD project is covered by a "master"
or "blanket" policy and there exists and is in the Seller's possession a
certificate of insurance showing the individual unit that secures the first
mortgage is covered under such policy. All such insurance policies contain a
standard mortgage clause naming the originator of such Mortgage Loan, its
successors and assigns, as insured mortgagee. Such policies are the valid and
binding obligations of the insurer, and all premiums thereon due to date have
been paid;

                  (w) Except with respect to [__]% of the Mortgage Loans (by
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date), there
are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;

                  (x) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
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 satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

                  (y) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Originator or a
third party licensed in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property
is located if the laws of such state require licensing, or by a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking


                                        9

<PAGE>



institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or
by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD. The Originator
re-underwrote each Mortgage Loan which was originated by any third party in
accordance with the Originator's underwriting guidelines in effect at the time
of origination of such Mortgage Loan;

                  (z) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the day of each month as set forth in the
Mortgage Note in Monthly Payments, which (A) in the case of a Group I Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate, (B) in
the case of a Group II Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and
in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate
and (C) in the case of a Balloon Loan are based on a fifteen (15) or thirty (30)
year amortization schedule, as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The
Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a
convertible mortgage loan;

                  (aa) The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Servicer in
accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits
and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or
under the control of, the Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Servicer have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note
and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller for
any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

                  (bb) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting standards of the Originator in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan
was originated which underwriting standards satisfy the standards of prudent
mortgage lenders in the secondary mortgage; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, except with respect to
any prepayment charge riders that are attached to the Mortgage Note;

                  (cc) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property;

                  (dd) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of USPAP and was made and
signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator, who had no interest, direct or
indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof,
whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of USPAP. Each appraisal of
the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;

                  (ee) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by the


                                       10

<PAGE>



Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any
source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions
which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated
payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature;

                  (ff) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the
Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having a
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy
insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders in the secondary market. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan;

                  (gg) If the residential dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is
a condominium unit or a unit in a PUD (other than a DE MINIMIS PUD) such
condominium or PUD project meets the eligibility requirements of the Originator;

                  (hh) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis
of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months;

                  (ii) The Seller shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage
Loan to be covered by a tax service contract which is assignable to the
Purchaser or its designee; provided however, that if the Seller fails to
purchase such tax service contract, the Seller shall be required to reimburse
the Purchaser for all costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection
with the purchase of any such tax service contract;

                  (jj) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood zone service
contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee or, for each
Mortgage Loan not covered by such flood zone service contract, the Seller agrees
to purchase such flood zone service contract;

                  (kk) No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended ("HOEPA"), (b) a
"high cost" mortgage loan, "covered" mortgage loan or "predatory" mortgage loan
or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or
local law, or (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or
regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Georgia Fair
Lending Act, the City of Oakland, California Anti-Predatory Lending Ordinance
No. 12361 or any other statute or regulation providing assignee liability to
holders of such mortgage loans;

                  (ll) No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including
but not limited to, the extension of credit to a mortgagor without regard for
the Mortgagor's ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit
to a mortgagor which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in
compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements
of the Fannie Mae Guides;



                                       11

<PAGE>



                  (mm) The debt-to-income ratio of the related Mortgagor was not
greater than 60% at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan;

                  (nn) No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life,
disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the
extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life,
disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used
to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination
of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

                  (oo) The Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of
the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event
that the Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee thereunder;

                  (pp) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which is secured by a
manufactured housing dwelling, such Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements for
inclusion in residential mortgage backed securities transactions rated by S&P;

                  (qq) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible, enforceable and collectable under applicable
federal and state law which was in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was
originated;

                  (rr) Except as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, none
of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan
originated prior to October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such
Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond five years after the date of
origination. For any Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002
that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend
beyond five years after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a
prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the
Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including
but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan's
origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan
that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the Prepayment Charge is
disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state
and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the
contrary, the Originator did not impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance
when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default
in making the loan payments; and

                  (ss) To the extent required by applicable law and/or
regulation, the Originator complied with all applicable anti-money laundering
laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering Laws"); the Originator established an
anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the
origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to


                                       12

<PAGE>



purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient
information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws.

                  (h) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
investigations known to it of, the Seller before any court, administrative or
other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering into this Agreement, (B)
seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations
under, or validity or enforceability of, this Agreement;

                  (i) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except
for such consents, approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been
obtained;

                  (j) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller. The sale of the
Mortgage Loans is in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and the
assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller

                  (k) Except with respect to liens released immediately prior to
the transfer herein contemplated, each Mortgage Note and related Mortgage have
not been assigned or pledged and immediately prior to the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated, the Seller held good, marketable and
indefeasible title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, each Mortgage Loan
subject to no liens, charges, mortgages, claims, participation interests,
equities, pledges or security interests of any nature, encumbrances or rights of
others (collectively, a "Lien"); the Seller has full right and authority under

                  (l) The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason
or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in
this Agreement; and

                  (m) Except with respect to any statement regarding the
intentions of the Purchaser, or any other statement contained herein the truth
or falsity of which is dependant solely upon the actions of the Purchaser, this
Agreement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein not
misleading. The written statements, reports and other documents prepared and
furnished or to be prepared and furnished by the Seller pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby taken in
the aggregate do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to

misleading.

         Section 3.03 REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. It
is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Subsections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,


                                       14

<PAGE>



notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With
respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to
the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has
no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser
or the Purchaser's assignee, designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the
Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation
and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation
and warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following
paragraphs of this Section 3.03 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery
by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the value
of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other.

                  Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller
that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the
Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use
its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if
such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option,
repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. In the event that a breach
shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 3.02 and
such breach cannot be cured within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by
or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the
Purchaser's option be repurchased by the Seller at the Purchase Price. The
Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming the Seller has a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a deficient Mortgage
Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If the Seller does not provide a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient
Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.03 shall occur on a date designated by the
Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required
by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of
the representation of the Seller set forth in Section 3.01(rr) above which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the
scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates,
by remitting such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Servicer and paid by the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, in respect of such
Prepayment Charge.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder
in respect of any Mortgage Loan, such defect, non-



                                       15
<PAGE>

delivery or breach shall not give rise to any obligation to purchase or
substitute for a Mortgage Loan unless and until (1) such defect, failure of
delivery or breach shall have had a material and adverse effect on the interests
of the Purchaser, the Purchaser's assignee or the Certificateholders in the
related Mortgage Loan (a "Material Defect") and (2) a Realized Loss shall have
occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure on the related
Mortgaged Property is rendered impossible. In the event of a Realized Loss on a
Mortgage Loan with respect to which a Material Defect shall have occurred, which
Realized Loss is determined following liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan,
it is understood that the Seller shall satisfy any repurchase or substitution
obligation as set forth above.

                  At the time of substitution or repurchase of any deficient
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment
of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or
repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in the
Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall
effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment and such other documents and agreements as are required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required
therein. The Seller shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account the
Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the
month following the date of such substitution. Monthly payments due with respect
to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be
retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in
the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller
shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and
warranties set forth in Subsections 3.01 and 3.02.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser.

                  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller
set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a
defective Mortgage Loan and the obligations of the Seller to indemnify the
Purchaser as provided in Section 5.01 constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 or 3.02.

                               SELLER'S COVENANTS

         Section 4.01 COVENANTS OF THE SELLER. The Seller hereby covenants that
except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or
transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the Seller will notify
the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence of any Lien on any
Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof, and the Seller will defend the
right, title and interest of the Trust, as assignee of the Purchaser, in, to and
under the Mortgage Loans, against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall
prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller from suffering to exist upon any of
the Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other
governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time
be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the validity
thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE V.

               INDEMNIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS

         Section 5.01      INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) The Seller indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser,
its respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, as follows:

                  (i) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or such controlling person
may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including,
but not limited to, any loss, claim, expense, damage or liability related to
purchases and sales of the Certificates) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Prospectus Supplement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out
of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein not misleading, to the extent that any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement therein results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an error
or material omission in the information concerning the Seller Information
furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser for use in the preparation of the
Prospectus Supplement, which error was not superseded or corrected by the
delivery to the Purchaser of corrected written or electronic information, or for
which the Seller provided written notice of such error to the Purchaser prior to
the confirmation of the sale of the Certificates; and will reimburse the
Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action as such expenses are incurred;

                  (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of
any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based




                                       17
<PAGE>

upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement
or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Purchaser; and

                  (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the
fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Purchaser), reasonably incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body. commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above.

                  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Seller may otherwise have.

                  (b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Article V of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Article V, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Article V except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article V.

                  If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Article V for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

                  Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local




                                       18
<PAGE>

counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be
designated in writing by the Purchaser, if the indemnified parties under this
Article V consist of the Purchaser.

                  Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreements contained in Section 5.01 (a) and (b) hereof, shall use its best
efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such
action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any
such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to consent to a settlement of any action, the indemnifying
party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if such settlement is entered into more
than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request
and the indemnifying party has not previously provided the indemnified party
with written notice of its objection to such settlement. No indemnifying party
shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect
of which an indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity is or
could have been sought hereunder, without the written consent of such
indemnified party, unless settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.

                  (c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Article is
for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance with
its terms, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Seller and
the Purchaser in such proportions as shall be appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on
the other from the sale of the Mortgage Loans; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section,
each officer and director of the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls
the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser and each director of the
Seller, each officer of the Seller, and each person, if any, who controls the
Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as the Seller.

                  (d) The Seller agrees to indemnify and to hold each of the
Purchaser, the Trustee, each of the officers and directors of each such entity
and each person or entity who controls each such entity or person and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that the Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such person or entity and
any Certificateholder may sustain in any way (i) related to the failure of the
Seller to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or
(ii) arising from a breach by the Seller of its representations and warranties
in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of this Agreement. The Seller shall immediately notify
the Purchaser, the Trustee and each Certificateholder if a claim is made by a
third party with respect to this Agreement. The Seller shall assume the defense
of any such claim and pay all expenses in




                                       19
<PAGE>

connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the
Purchaser, the Trustee or any such person or entity and/or any Certificateholder
in respect of such claim.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                                   TERMINATION

         Section 6.01 TERMINATION. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate,
except for the Seller's indemnity obligations as provided herein upon the
termination of the Trust as provided in Article X of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 7.01 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Seller and the Purchaser, by written agreement signed by the Seller and
the Purchaser.

         Section 7.02 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

         Section 7.03 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally
delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows: (i) if to the Seller, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., 600
Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, Attention: Legal, or such other
address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller
and (ii) if to the Purchaser, Financial Asset Securities Corp., 600 Steamboat
Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, Attention: Legal, or such other address as
may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser.

         Section 7.04 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions of terms of this Agreement shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

         Section 7.05 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         Section 7.06 FURTHER AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser and the Seller each
agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments
or agreements as may be necessary or




                                       20
<PAGE>

reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in
connection with the issuance of any Series of Certificates representing
interests in the Mortgage Loans.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further
inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the
Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of any of
the securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans. In that connection,
the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate
verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel
or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide to the
Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of
counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers
of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with such transactions
and the offering of investment grade securities rated by the Rating Agencies.

         Section 7.07 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. It is the intention of the
parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans rather than pledging the Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the
Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for federal income tax purposes and all other purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related
Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will
affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the
Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the
course of such review.

         Section 7.08 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee.

         The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned
or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent
shall be at the Purchaser's sole discretion, except that the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to
any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that
the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing
them to a trust that will issue a series of Certificates representing undivided
interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase
the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by
the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser's rights against the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans
transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or
remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such
enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and
effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser
directly.

         Section 7.09 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall survive the
purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

the above-referenced Certificates, among Financial Asset Securities Corp., as
Depositor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as Servicer (the "Servicer") and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used,
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.

         2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

         3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not

(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.

         4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will
be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass- through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person).

restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

         6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit K to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

         7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.

         8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is _____________.

         9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701-(a)(30).

         10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

         11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on
behalf of such a plan.
