Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Company 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 eleven
classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) the
Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) the Class A-4
Certificates, (v) the Class A-5 Certificates, (vi) the Class A-IO Certificates,
(vii) the Class M-1 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-2 Certificates, (ix) the
Class B Certificates, (x) the Class X Certificates and (xi) the Class R
Certificates.

                                     -------

         As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement 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 and will have an
initial Certificate Principal Balance of $100.00 and a Pass-Through Rate of
6.00% per annum payable on the first Distribution Date. 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.

-------------------
(1)      Solely for purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
         regulations, the Distribution Date in the month following the maturity
         date for the Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date has been
         designated as the "latest possible maturity date" for each Class of
         Certificates that represents one or more of the "regular interests" in
         REMIC 3.

(2)      Calculated in accordance with the definition of "Pass-Through Rate"
         herein.

(3)      The Class X Certificates will accrue interest at their variable
         Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates
         outstanding from time to time which shall equal the aggregate of the
         Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests. The
         Class X Certificates will not accrue interest on their Certificate
         Principal Balance.

(4)      The Class A-IO Certificates do not have a Certificate Principal Balance
         and are not entitled to distributions of principal. The Class A-IO
         Certificates accrue interest on a Notional Amount calculated in
         accordance with the definition of "Notional Amount" herein.

(5)      The Class R Certificates will be entitled to receive a distribution on
         the first Distribution Date of principal and interest in respect of the
         Class R-1 Interest.


         Using the Structuring Assumptions (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement) and assuming prepayments at 0% of the Prepayment Assumption, the
Final Scheduled Distribution Date on each


                                        3

<PAGE>



Class of Certificates would be as follows: (i) for the Certificates (other than
the Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates and
Class A-IO Certificates), the Distribution Date in March 2031; (ii) for the
Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-4 Certificates, the
Distribution Date in April 2032; and (iii) for the Class A-IO Certificates, the
Distribution Date in September 2003.

         Due to Realized Losses, principal prepayments (including Principal
Prepayments, liquidations of defaulted Mortgage Loans, repurchases of Mortgage
Loans) and other differences between the Structuring Assumptions and the actual
behavior that the Mortgage Loans will exhibit during the period that they are
held in the Trust Fund, the final scheduled Distribution Date on each Class of

However, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller need not
cause to be recorded any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee and

notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment shall be
submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i)

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this

original Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Seller shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
such Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the recorded original thereof.

                  If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the
Trustee because of any defect therein, the Seller is required, as described in

such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller shall cause such Assignment to
be recorded in accordance with this section.

Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed
a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests by the Company
to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in
the event that the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests are held to
be property of the Company, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1
Regular Interests, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall
be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a security interest
in all of the Company's right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the
Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related
Insurance Policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B)
all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof, (C) the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and (D) all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time
to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2)
an assignment by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and
all of the Seller's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property
described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (D); (c) the possession by the
Trustee or any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items
of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" or possession by a
purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial
Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, Sections 9-115, 9-305, 8-102, 8-301, 8-501 and

notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Company and the
Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of the Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.02.             Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the
                                            Trustee.

                  The Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions
noted in the Initial Certification described below), 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 the Mortgage Files, and that it
holds or will hold such other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund"
(to the extent delivered or assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review or cause to be reviewed on its behalf, each Mortgage File on or before
the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered to it
are in its possession, and the Trustee agrees to execute and deliver, or cause
to be executed and delivered, to the Company and the Master Servicer on the
Closing Date, an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C
to the effect 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 such certification as not covered by such
certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to
this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to
the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii)(A)
and (iv) of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. Neither the Trustee nor the Master
Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any Mortgage File should
include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 2.01.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded, or they are in recordable form or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.

                  Within 90 days of the Closing Date the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company and the Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and
preparing the certifications referred to above the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in
any material respect, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the Company. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such
defect and request that the Seller cure any such defect within 60 days from the
date on which the Seller was notified of such defect, and if the Seller does not
cure such defect in all material respects during such period, request on behalf
of the Certificateholders that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the
Seller was notified of such defect; provided that if such defect would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days
from the date such breach was discovered. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase
Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be
deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account and, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released 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
require as necessary to vest in the Seller ownership of any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 2.03.             Representations, Warranties and
                                            Covenants of the Master Servicer and
                                            the Company.

                  (a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders
that:

                        (i) The Master Servicer is, and throughout the term
         hereof shall remain, a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
         in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation
         (except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.02), the Master
         Servicer is, and shall remain, in compliance with the laws of each
         state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent
         necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and the
         Master Servicer is, and shall remain, approved to sell mortgage loans
         to and service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

                       (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer, and the performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement by the Master Servicer, will not violate the Master
         Servicer's articles of incorporation or bylaws or constitute a default
         (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
         constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material
         agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is
         applicable to it or any of its assets;



                                       49

<PAGE>



                      (iii) The Master Servicer has the full power and authority
         to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance
         of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement;

                       (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization,
         execution and delivery by the Company and the Trustee, constitutes a
         valid, legal and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
         against the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof,
         subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of
         whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law;

                        (v) The Master Servicer is not in violation of, and its
         execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and
         compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a
         violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or
         any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local
         governmental or regulatory authority, which violation is likely to
         affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Master
         Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
         financial condition of the Master Servicer;

                       (vi) No litigation is pending (other than litigation with
         respect to which pleadings or documents have been filed with a court,
         but not served on the Master Servicer) or, the best of the Master
         Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which
         would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its
         obligations under this Agreement or is likely to affect materially and
         adversely either the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the
         Master Servicer;

                      (vii) The Master Servicer will comply in all material
         respects in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules
         and requirements of each insurer under each Insurance Policy;

                     (viii) The execution of this Agreement and the performance
         of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder do not require any
         license, consent or approval of any state or federal court, agency,
         regulatory authority or other governmental body having jurisdiction
         over the Master Servicer, other than such as have been obtained; and

                       (ix) No information, certificate of an officer, statement
         furnished in writing or report delivered to the Company, any affiliate
         of the Company or the Trustee by the Master Servicer in its capacity as
         Master Servicer, and not in its capacity as a Seller hereunder, will,
         to the knowledge of the Master Servicer, contain any untrue statement
         of a material fact.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Company, the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Company,
the Trustee or the Master Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants that materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Company or the Trustee, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. The foregoing shall not,
however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Company or
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement respecting a breach of any of the representations, warranties
and covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  (b) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that as of the
Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Seller with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the remedies therefor that are contained in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement are as set forth in Exhibit I hereto.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee.

                  Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this
Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders (without regard to any Certificate Policy) in any Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties.

                  SECTION 2.04.             Representations and Warranties of
                                            the Seller.

                  The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders all of its rights (but none of its obligations) in, to and
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Insofar as the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement relates to such representations and warranties and any
remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and
warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
(without regard to any Certificate Policy) in such Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and request that the
Seller shall, within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified or
otherwise obtained knowledge of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all
material respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if
such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or
repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered.
However, in the case of a breach under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
subject to the approval of the Company, the Seller shall have the option to
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such


                                       51

<PAGE>



Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing
Date, except that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered
if such 90 day period expires before two years following the Closing Date. In
the event that the Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as
appropriate, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution, to the extent received by the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a
Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled
to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Company shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and the Company shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Seller
shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution, and the Company shall be deemed to
have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of
the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in
Exhibit I hereof (other than representations (xiv), (xvi), (xxix) and (xxxiii)
through (xli)).

                  In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amount (the Substitution Adjustment"), if any, by
which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of
the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution
that are to be distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution).
The Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for
immediate deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall,
without any reimbursement therefor. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of
such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to
the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC
1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1)


                                       52

<PAGE>



of the Code or (b) any portion of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. The costs of any
substitution as described above, including any related assignments, opinions or
other documentation in connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller.

                  Except as expressly set forth herein neither the Trustee nor
the Master Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the
above-mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Seller to cure such breach, purchase or to substitute for
such Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 2.05.             Issuance of Certificates;
                                            Conveyance of REMIC Regular
                                            Interests and Acceptance of REMIC 2
                                            by the Trustee.

         (a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans
and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.01 and 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other assets
included in the Trust Fund. Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and
in exchange therefor, the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the
Company executed by an officer of the Company, has executed, authenticated and
delivered to or upon the order of the Company, the Certificates in authorized
denominations. The interests evidenced by the Certificates, constitute the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund.

         (b) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the
Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Company in and
to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC 2
Regular Interests and Holders of the Class R Certificates (as holders of the
Class R-2 Interest). The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 1 Regular
Interests (which are uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold
the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders of the REMIC
2 Regular Interests and Holders of the Class R Certificates (as holders of the
Class R-2 Interest). The interests evidenced by the Class R-2 Interest, together
with the Regular Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership
interest in REMIC 2.

         (c) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the
Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Company in and
to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit of the holders of the
Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests
(which are uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the Certificates. The
interests evidenced by the Class R-3 Interest, together with the Regular
Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 3.

         (d) In exchange for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and, concurrently
with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant to the written request of
the Company executed by an officer of the


                                       53

<PAGE>



Company, the Trustee has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
order of the Company, the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing (together with the Class R-3 Interest) the entire beneficial
ownership interest in REMIC 3.

         (e) Concurrently with (i) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of
REMIC 1 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Class R-1
Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, (ii) the assignment and
delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 2 (including the Residual Interest therein
represented by the Class R-2 Interest), and (iii) the assignment and delivery to
the Trustee of REMIC 3 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by
the Class R-3 Interest), and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, the Trustee,
pursuant to the written request of the Company executed by an officer of the
Company, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the
Company, the Class R Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                                OF THE TRUST FUND

                  SECTION 3.01.             Master Servicer to Act as Master
                                            Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall supervise, or take such actions as
are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
and any REO Property in accordance with this Agreement and its normal servicing
practices, which generally shall conform to the standards (i) of the Servicing
Guide, if Impac Funding Corporation is Master Servicer, or (ii) if Impac Funding
Corporation is not the Master Servicer, of an institution prudently servicing
mortgage loans for its own account and shall have full authority to do anything
it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection with such servicing
and administration.

                  The Master Servicer may perform its responsibilities relating
to servicing through other agents or independent contractors, but shall not
thereby be released from any of its responsibilities as hereinafter set forth.
The authority of the Master Servicer, in its capacity as master servicer, and
any Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf, shall include, without limitation, the
power to (i) consult with and advise any Sub-Servicer regarding administration
of a related Mortgage Loan, (ii) approve any recommendation by a Sub-Servicer to
foreclose on a related Mortgage Loan, (iii) supervise the filing and collection
of insurance claims and take or cause to be taken such actions on behalf of the
insured Person thereunder as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent the denial
of coverage thereunder, and (iv) effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing a related Mortgage Loan,
including the employment of attorneys, the institution of legal proceedings, the
collection of deficiency judgments, the acceptance of compromise proposals, the
filing of claims under any Insurance Policy and any other matter pertaining to a
delinquent Mortgage Loan. The authority of the Master Servicer shall include, in
addition, the power on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of
them to (i) execute and deliver customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) consent to transfer of any related Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the related Mortgage Notes and Security Instruments
(in the manner provided in this Agreement) and (iii) collect any Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf may,
and is hereby authorized, and empowered by the Trustee to, execute and deliver,
on behalf of itself, the Certificateholders or the Trustee or any of them, any
instruments of satisfaction, cancellation, partial or full release, discharge
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans, the Insurance Policies and the accounts related thereto, and the
Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer may exercise this power in its own
name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer.

                  Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and
any Sub-Servicer such documents provided to it by the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer

or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under any such documents or
any such powers of attorney.

                  In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the Master Servicer 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 reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to make such advance if, in its good faith judgment, the Master
Servicer determines that such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect
to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or
REMIC 3 to fail to qualify 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.

                  The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor
to the Master Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

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

                  (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements with Sub- Servicers for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the
Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that such agreements would not
result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by Standard & Poor's of its rating on
any Class of Certificates (without regard to any Certificate Policy). Each
Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are
insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of
originating or servicing mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans, and in
either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in
which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case
shall be a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall include the
provision that such Agreement may be immediately terminated (x) with cause and
without any termination fee by any Master Servicer hereunder or (y) without
cause in which case the Master Servicer shall be responsible for any termination
fee or penalty resulting therefrom. In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall


                                       56

<PAGE>



provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make amendments to the
Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing
Agreements providing for, among other things, the delegation by the Master
Servicer to a Sub-Servicer of additional duties regarding the administration of
the Mortgage Loans; 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 regard to any Certificate Policy), without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights. The parties hereto acknowledge that the initial Sub-Servicer shall be
Wendover.

         The Master Servicer has entered into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with
Wendover for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and may
enter into additional Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers acceptable to
the Trustee for the servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage
Loans.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement. 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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but
shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from
such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all
amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom
such enforcement is directed.

                  SECTION 3.03.             Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Master 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 Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of
such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master 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.

                  SECTION 3.04.             Liability of the Master Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer


                                       57

<PAGE>



or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master
Servicer shall under all circumstances remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans and any REO Property in accordance with the provisions of Article
III 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 Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer has received such
payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master 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 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 and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
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 Master Servicer (or Sub-Servicer) shall be liable for the payment of any
franchise taxes which may be assessed by the California Franchise Tax Board in
connection with the activities of the Trust under this Agreement.

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

                  (a) If the Trustee or its designee shall assume the master
servicing obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02
below, the Trustee, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee to carry out
the provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall succeed
to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each of the
Sub- Servicing Agreements. In such event, the Trustee or its designee as the
successor master servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master
Servicer's rights and obligations therein and to have replaced the Master
Servicer as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreements to the same extent as if
such Sub-Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the Trustee or its designee
as a successor master servicer, except that the Trustee or its designee as a
successor master servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligations or
liabilities of the Master Servicer arising prior to such assumption (other than
the obligation to make any Advances hereunder) and the Master Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing
Agreements arising prior to such assumption. Nothing in the foregoing shall be
deemed to entitle the Trustee or its designee as a successor master servicer at
any time to receive any portion of the servicing compensation provided under
Section 3.17 except for such portion as the Master Servicer would be entitled to
receive.



                                       58

<PAGE>



                  (b) In the event that the Trustee or its designee as successor
master servicer for the Trustee assumes the servicing obligations of the Master
Servicer under Section 7.02, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee or such
designee as successor master servicer the Master Servicer shall at its own
expense deliver to the Trustee, or at its written request to such designee,
photocopies of all documents, files and records, electronic or otherwise,
relating to the Sub-Servicing Agreements and the related Mortgage Loans or REO
Property then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it, if any, and will otherwise cooperate and use its reasonable efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements, or
responsibilities hereunder to the Trustee, or at its written request to such
designee as successor master servicer.

                  SECTION 3.07.             Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan
                                            Payments.

                  (a) The Master Servicer will coordinate and monitor
remittances by Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

                  (b) The Master Servicer shall make its reasonable efforts to
collect or cause to be collected all payments required under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall follow, and use its reasonable
efforts to cause Sub-Servicers to follow, collection procedures comparable to
the collection procedures of prudent mortgage lenders servicing mortgage loans
for their own account to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with
this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge, prepayment
charge, assumption fee, or any penalty interest in connection with the
prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) suspend or reduce or permit to be
suspended or reduced regular monthly payments for a period of up to six months,
or arrange or permit an arrangement with a Mortgagor for a scheduled liquidation
of delinquencies. In the event the Master Servicer shall consent to the
deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, the Master
Servicer shall nonetheless make an Advance or shall cause the related
Sub-Servicer to make an advance to the same extent as if such installment were
due, owing and delinquent and had not been deferred through liquidation of the
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the obligation of the Master
Servicer or related Sub-Servicer to make an Advance shall apply only to the
extent that the Master Servicer believes, in good faith, that such advances are
not Nonrecoverable Advances.

                  (c) On each Determination Date, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan for which during the related Prepayment Period the Master Servicer has
determined that all amounts which it expects to recover from or on account of
each such Mortgage Loan have been recovered and that no further Liquidation
Proceeds will be received in connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall
provide to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer that such Mortgage
Loan became a Liquidated Mortgage Loan in a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition.

                  The Master 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 related Insurance Policy, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. The Master
Servicer shall not be required to


                                       59

<PAGE>



institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment
(whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by
applicable law from enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument
pursuant to which such payment is required. The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for preparing and distributing all information statements relating
to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal and
state tax laws and regulations.

                  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
otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a
Sub-Servicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. Any investment of funds held in such an account shall be
in Permitted Investments maturing not later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Sub-Servicer Remittance Date. The Sub- Servicer will be
required to deposit into the Sub-Servicing Account no later than the first
Business Day after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the
Sub-Servicer, less its servicing compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and
advances, to the extent permitted by the Sub- Servicing Agreement. On each
Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the
Sub-Servicing Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan as of the Sub-Servicer
Remittance Date, after deducting from such remittance an amount equal to the
servicing compensation (including interest on Permitted Investments) and
unreimbursed expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or
retained by it. In addition, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts
required to be advanced pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. The
Sub-Servicer will also be required to remit to the Master Servicer, within five
Business Days of receipt, the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the
Mortgagor, and, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of any
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds received during the related
Prepayment Period.

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

                  The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), and shall deposit and
retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the
extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy
premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related


                                       60

<PAGE>



collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments), and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard Insurance
Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the
Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent required by law,
pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts from its or their
own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

                  SECTION 3.10.             Custodial Account.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account") in which the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, or as and when
received from the Sub-Servicers, the following payments and collections received
or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other
than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date):

                (i) all payments (including advances by a Sub-Servicer) on
         account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage
         Loans;

               (ii) all payments (including advances by a Sub-Servicer) on
         account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown Funds, if
         any, net of any portion thereof retained by the Master Servicer as
         Master Servicing Fees or any Sub-Servicer as Sub-Servicing Fees;

              (iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that represent
         reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or
         any Sub-Servicer in connection with presenting claims under the related
         Insurance Policies, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds;

               (iv) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
         repurchased or purchased in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04 , 3.14,
         3.24 or 9.01; and all amounts required to be deposited in connection
         with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant
         to Section 2.04; and

                (v) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.12, 3.13, 3.15 or 3.22.

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a
segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage
pass-through certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master
Servicer.



                                       61

<PAGE>



                  (b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of
the location of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.

                  SECTION 3.11.             Permitted Withdrawals From the
                                            Custodial Account.

                  The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein,
make withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein
pursuant to Section 3.10 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the
following purposes:

                         (i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in
         the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;

                        (ii) to pay to itself, the Company, the Seller or any
         other appropriate person, as the case may be, with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or repurchased
         pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.14, 3.24 or 9.01 all amounts
         received thereon and not yet distributed as of the date of purchase or
         repurchase;

                       (iii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
         Advances not previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer's or any
         Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii)
         being limited to amounts received which represent Late Collections (net
         of the related Master Servicing Fees and Sub-Servicing Fees) of Monthly
         Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were
         made and as further provided in Section 3.15;

                        (iv) to reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the
         Company for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master
         Servicer, the Trustee or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03,
         8.05 or 10.01(g), except as otherwise provided in such Sections hereof;

                         (v) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs
         and expenses incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the
         prosecution of any claims pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess
         of the amounts so recovered;

                        (vi) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid
         Master Servicing Fees, Sub-Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing
         Advances, the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to
         reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage
         Loan being limited to late recoveries of the payments for which such
         advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.09 and any
         other related Late Collections;

                       (vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in
         addition to the Master Servicing Fee and Sub-Servicing Fee), on or
         after each Distribution Date, any interest or investment income earned
         on funds deposited in the Custodial Account for the period ending
         on such Distribution Date;



                                       62

<PAGE>



                      (viii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for any
         Advance or Servicing Advance previously made, after a Realized Loss has
         been allocated with respect to the related Mortgage Loan if the Advance
         or Servicing Advance was not reimbursed pursuant to clauses (iii) and
         (vi);

                         (ix) to pay Radian the premium under the Radian
         Lender-Paid PMI Policy; and

                         (x) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the
         termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

                  The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses
(ii) through (x).

                  SECTION 3.12.             Permitted Investments.

                  Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the
direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Investments, each of which shall mature not later than (i) 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, 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 and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any
interest earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of
the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account
an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of
reimbursement.

                  SECTION 3.13.             Maintenance of Primary Hazard
                                            Insurance.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan primary hazard insurance by a Qualified Insurer or other insurer
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies with extended coverage on the related
Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the
replacement value of the improvements, as determined by the insurance company,
on such Mortgaged Property or (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired
upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire
insurance with extended coverage in an amount equal to the replacement value of
the improvements thereon. Any costs incurred in maintaining any insurance
described in this Section 3.13 (other than any deductible described in the last
paragraph hereof) shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance. The Master
Servicer shall not be obligated to advance any amounts pursuant to this Section
3.13 if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such
advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the


                                       63

<PAGE>



restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus
acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master
Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related
Sub-Servicer to, exercise its best reasonable efforts to maintain and keep in
full force and effect each Primary Insurance Policy by a Qualified Insurer, or
other insurer satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, with respect to each first
lien Mortgage Loan as to which as of the Cut-Off Date such a Primary Insurance
Policy was in effect (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
the date of substitution) and the original principal amount of the related
Mortgage Note exceeded 80% of the Collateral Value in an amount at least equal
to the excess of such original principal amount over 75% of such Collateral
Value until the principal amount of any such first lien Mortgage Loan is reduced
below 80% of the Collateral Value or, based upon a new appraisal, the principal
amount of such first lien Mortgage Loan represents less than 80% of the new
appraised value. The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related
Sub-Servicer to, effect the timely payment of the premium on each Primary
Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer and the related Sub-Servicer shall have
the power to substitute for any Primary Insurance Policy another substantially
equivalent policy issued by another Qualified Insurer, provided, that, such
substitution shall be subject to the condition that it will not cause the
ratings on the Certificates to be downgraded or withdrawn, as evidenced in
writing from each Rating Agency.

          The Master Servicer shall cooperate with Radian and shall use its best
efforts to furnish all reasonable aid, evidence and information in the
possession of the Master Servicer or to which the Master Servicer has access
with respect to any Radian Insured Loan.

          The Master Servicer shall cooperate with GEMICO and shall use its best
efforts to furnish all reasonable aid, evidence and information in the
possession of the Master Servicer or to which the Master Servicer has access
with respect to any GEMICO Insured Loan.

         In the event of a default by Radian under the Radian Lender-Paid PMI
Policy (a "Replacement Event"), the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts
to obtain a substitute lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy (a
"Substitute PMI Policy"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall not
be obligated, and shall have no liability for failing, to obtain a Substitute
PMI Policy unless such Substitute PMI Policy can be obtained on the following
terms and conditions: (i) the Certificates shall be rated no lower than the
rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Certificates immediately prior to
such Replacement Event, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency
addressed to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, (ii) the timing
and mechanism for drawing on such new Substitute PMI Policy shall be reasonably
acceptable to the


                                       64

<PAGE>



Master Servicer and the Trustee and (iii) the premiums under the proposed
Substitute PMI Policy shall not exceed such premiums under the existing Radian
Lender-Paid PMI Policy.

         In the event of a default by GEMICO under the GEMICO Policy (a
"Replacement Event"), the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain a
Substitute PMI Policy; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated, and shall have no liability for failing, to obtain a Substitute PMI
Policy unless such Substitute PMI Policy can be obtained on the following terms
and conditions: (i) the Certificates shall be rated no lower than the rating
assigned by each Rating Agency to the Certificates immediately prior to such
Replacement Event, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency addressed to
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, (ii) the timing and mechanism
for drawing on such new Substitute PMI Policy shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee and (iii) the premiums under the proposed
Substitute PMI Policy shall not exceed such premiums under the existing GEMICO
Policy.

         With respect to the Radian PMI Insured Loans covered by a Radian
Lender-Paid PMI Policy, the Master Servicer will confirm with Radian, and Radian
will certify to the Trustee, on or before April 15, 2001, that the Mortgage
Loans indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as being covered by Radian
Lender-Paid PMI Policy are so covered.

         No earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired with respect to a security
instrument other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and shall require such additional insurance. When, at
the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan or at any subsequent time, the
Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard
area, the Master Servicer shall cause with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property flood insurance (to the extent available and in accordance
with mortgage servicing industry practice) to be maintained. Such flood
insurance shall cover the Mortgaged Property, including all items taken into
account in arriving at the Collateral Value on which the Mortgage Loan was
based, and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the minimum amount required under
the terms of coverage to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis, but not more than the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under either the regular or emergency programs of the
National Flood Insurance Program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program). Unless applicable state
law requires a higher deductible, the deductible on such flood insurance may not
exceed $1,000 or 1% of the applicable amount of coverage, whichever is less.

                  In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage 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 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under
the blanket policy because of


                                       65

<PAGE>



such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on
the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution Date which
occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any such policy
would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. Any such deposit shall not
be deemed Servicing Advances and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf
of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket
policy.


                  SECTION 3.14.             Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses;
                                            Assumption Agreements.

                  The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged
Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable
thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such
rights if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so. The
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer may repurchase a Mortgage Loan at
the Purchase Price deposited into the Custodial Account when the Master Servicer
requires acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, but only if the Master Servicer is
satisfied, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee,
that either (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably
foreseeable or (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is not in default or default is not
reasonably foreseeable, such repurchase will have no adverse tax consequences
for the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer is unable to
enforce such "due-on-sale" clause (as provided in the second preceding sentence)
or if no "due-on-sale" clause is applicable, the Master Servicer or the
Sub-Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and modification
agreement 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; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not enter into
any assumption and modification agreement if the coverage provided under the
Primary Insurance Policy, if any, would be impaired by doing so. The Master
Servicer shall notify the Trustee, whenever possible, before the completion of
such assumption agreement, and shall forward to the Trustee the original copy of
such assumption agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the
related Mortgage File and which 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. In connection with any such assumption agreement,
the interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed and no other
material alterations in the Mortgage Loan shall be made unless such material
alteration would not cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel. The Master 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. Any fee collected by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the Master Servicer as additional
servicing


                                       66

<PAGE>



compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the
Monthly Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on
the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any
substitution or assumption if such substitution or assumption shall (i) both
constitute a "significant modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of
such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder) and cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the
REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement, which
copy 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. A portion equal to up to
2% of the Collateral Value of the related Mortgage Loan, of any fee or
additional interest collected by the related Sub- Servicer for consenting in any
such conveyance or entering into any such assumption agreement may be retained
by the related Sub-Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master 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 any assumption that the
Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is deemed
to also include a sale of a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

                  SECTION 3.15.             Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage
                                            Loans.

                  The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing
loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
(which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund
pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to realize proceeds from such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner
(including short sales) as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest
by Certificateholders, taking into account, among other things, the timing of
foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any
case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured
Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward
the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its sole
discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,


                                       67

<PAGE>



however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related
property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.

                  The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as
well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be deposited
into the Custodial Account and applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(vi) or 3.22; second,
to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at
the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, or to
the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition; and
third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that
amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Master Servicing Fees and
Sub-Servicing Fees; and second, to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate. The
portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Master Servicing Fees and
Sub-Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(vi).
The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate
and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to
reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub- Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(iii) or 3.22, second, payment to Radian
in accordance with Sections 3.11(ix) and third, for payment to the Trustee and
GEMICO and distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01, subject to Section 3.22 with respect to certain
recoveries from an REO Disposition constituting Excess Proceeds.

                  SECTION 3.16.             Trustee to Cooperate; Release of
                                            Mortgage Files.

                  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by a certification (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 Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request, which may be in a mutually agreed upon
electronic format, delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the form of the
Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit F. Upon receipt of two copies
(one of which will be returned with the Mortgage Files) of such certification
and request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the proceeds
of such payment in full and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the
Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the Mortgagor of the original
canceled Mortgage Note. All other documents in the Mortgage File shall be
retained by the Master Servicer to the extent required by applicable law. The
Master Servicer shall provide for preparation of the appropriate instrument of
satisfaction covering any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the execution and return of such instrument to provide for its
delivery or recording as may be required.
No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account.


                                       68

<PAGE>



                  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 Loan, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, which may be in a
mutually agreed upon electronic format, of two copies (one of which will be
returned with the Mortgage Files) of a Request for Release in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee shall execute such documents as the Master Servicer shall
prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to
return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee
when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists; and in any event
within 21 days of the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, unless the Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage
Loan have been deposited in the Custodial 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 Master Servicer has delivered to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to 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 written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are
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 request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a certification
signed by a Servicing Officer 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 3.17.             Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to withhold and retain, from deposits to the
Custodial Account of amounts representing payments or recoveries of interest,
the Master Servicing Fees with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion
of such amounts retained by any Sub-Servicer). In addition, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees out of related Late
Collections to the extent permitted in Section 3.11.

                  Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall permit the related
Sub-Servicer to retain the Sub-Servicing Fees from collections on the related
Mortgage Loans, or shall provide that the Sub- Servicer be paid directly by the
Master Servicer from collections on the related Mortgage Loans. To the extent
the Master Servicer directly services a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain the Sub-Servicing Fees for that Mortgage Loan.


                                       69

<PAGE>



                  The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11 to receive from the Custodial Account as additional servicing compensation
interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.23, as
well as any assumption fees, late payment charges and reconveyance fees. The
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, shall
be entitled to retain any prepayment charges. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13 and servicing
compensation of the Sub-Servicer to the extent not retained by it), and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in
Section 3.11. The Master Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.18.             Maintenance of Certain Servicing
                                            Policies.

         The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and
shall cause each Sub- Servicer to obtain and maintain for the duration of this
Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy
covering the Master Servicer's and such Sub-Servicer's officers, employees and
other persons acting on its behalf in connection with its activities under this
Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage
maintained by the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer in order to be acceptable to
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to service loans for it or otherwise in an amount as
is commercially available at a cost that is generally not regarded as excessive
by industry standards. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any material change in the terms of such bond or policy. The Master
Servicer shall provide annually to the Trustee a certificate of insurance that
such bond and policy are in effect. If any such bond or policy ceases to be in
effect, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent possible, give the Trustee ten
days' notice prior to any such cessation and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 3.19.             Annual Statement as to Compliance.

                  Within 120 days after December 31 of each year, commencing
December 2001, the Master Servicer at its own expense shall deliver to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a
certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating, as to the signers thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding
calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officers' supervision, (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on
such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement for 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 including the steps being taken by the Master Servicer
to remedy such default; (iii) a review of the activities of each Sub-Servicer
during the Sub-Servicer's most recently ended fiscal year on or prior to such
December 31 and its performance under its Sub-Servicing Agreement has been made
under such officer's supervision; and (iv) to the best of the Servicing
Officer's knowledge, based on his review and the certification of an officer of
the Sub-Servicer (unless the Servicing Officer has reason to believe that
reliance on such certification is not justified), either each Sub-Servicer has


                                       70

<PAGE>



performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement and its Sub- Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout
the year, or, if there has been a default in performance or fulfillment of any
such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying the nature and status
of each such default known to the Servicing Officer. Copies of such statements
shall be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificateholders upon request
or by the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer should the Master
Servicer fail to provide such copies.

                  SECTION 3.20.             Annual Independent Public
                                            Accountants' Servicing Statement.

                  (a) Within 120 days after December 31 of each year, commencing
December 2001, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants who are members of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Master Servicer,
which will be provided to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating
Agencies, to the effect that, in connection with the firm's examination of the
Master Servicer's financial statements as of the end of such calendar year,
nothing came to their attention that indicated that the Master Servicer was not
in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement except for (i) such
exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions
as are set forth in such statement.

                  (b) Within 120 days after December 31 of each year, commencing
December 2001, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall or shall cause each
Sub-Servicer to cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer or such Sub-Servicer a
report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer or such Sub-Servicer
which includes an assertion that the Master Servicer or such Sub-Servicer has
complied with certain minimum mortgage loan servicing standards (to the extent
applicable to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans) identified in the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America with respect to the servicing of first
and second lien conventional single family 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. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master
Servicer shall or shall cause each Sub-Servicer to furnish a copy of such report
to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 3.21.             Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Master Servicer shall provide, and shall cause any
Sub-Servicer to provide, to the Trustee, access to the documentation in their
possession regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC (to which the Trustee shall also provide) access to the documentation
regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations, such
access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices of


                                       71

<PAGE>



the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers that are designated by these entities;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer shall not be required to provide access to
such documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to
privacy of any Mortgagor; provided, further, however, that the Trustee shall
coordinate its requests for such access so as not to impose an unreasonable
burden on, or cause an unreasonable interruption of, the business of the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer, the Sub-Servicers and the
Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of
the documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers their own actual out-of-pocket costs.

                  SECTION 3.22.             Title, Conservation and Disposition
                                            of REO Property.

                  This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for
the account of REMIC 1 and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from REMIC 1 pursuant to
Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.14 or 3.24. In the event that title to any such REO
Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall either sell any REO Property before the
close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1
acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or, at the expense of REMIC 1, request, more than 60 days before the
day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of
the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the
Trustee), addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that
the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third
taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1 acquires ownership of
such REO Property will not result in the imposition on REMIC 1 of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the
REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of the laws of the State of California
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master 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) or result in the
receipt by any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 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. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior
to the sale of such REO Property.

                  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).

                  The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial
Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any
directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.

                  If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property
there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such
REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer,
upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as
any unpaid Master Servicing Fees and Sub-Servicing Fees from proceeds received
in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15. The
Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance any amounts with respect to an
REO Property if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that
such advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

                  The REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master
Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer
shall determine.

                  The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the
Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with
Section 4.01; provided, that any such net proceeds received by the Master
Servicer which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all
unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the last day of the month in which
the REO Disposition occurred ("Excess Proceeds") shall be retained by the Master
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

                  With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master
Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic or hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer
shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related
Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or
(ii) otherwise acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless the
Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and
delivered to the Trustee an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who
regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards. The
Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged
Property) and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to
release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the
Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the
Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement
being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Custodial Account.

                  If the Master 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 in 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 Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as
an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.

                  SECTION 3.23.             Additional Obligations of the Master
                                            Servicer.

                  On each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own
funds and without any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to
the amount of Compensating Interest for the related Distribution Date.

                  SECTION 3.24              Optional Purchase of Defaulted
                                            Mortgage Loans.

         The Master Servicer or any affiliate of the Master Servicer, in its
sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written notice sent to the
Master Servicer, and the Trustee), but shall not be obligated, to purchase for
its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 90 days or more
delinquent in the manner and at the price specified in Section 2.04. The
purchase price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall
release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of
such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest
in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto.
Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all
security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee, whether acting as Trustee or in the capacity of successor Master
Servicer, shall have no obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan.

                  SECTION 3.25.             Additional Obligations of the
                                            Company.

                  The Company agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the
Closing Date, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a written notification,
substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating to each Class
of Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of such
Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of
such date, the value calculated pursuant to


                                       74

<PAGE>



clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto, or, (b) if 10% or more of such Class of
Certificates has been sold as of such date but no single price is paid for at
least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of
such Class of Certificates, then the weighted average price at which the
Certificates of such Class were sold and the aggregate percentage of
Certificates of such Class sold, (c) the first single price at which at least
10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such
Class of Certificates was sold, or (d) if any Certificates of each Class of
Certificates are retained by the Company or an affiliate corporation, or are
delivered to the Seller, the fair market value of such Certificates as of the
Closing Date, (ii) the Prepayment Assumption used in pricing the Certificates,
and (iii) such other information as to matters of fact as the Trustee may
reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with
respect to each Class of such Certificates to the extent such information can in
the good faith judgment of the Company be determined by it.

                  SECTION 3.26.             Periodic Filings with the Securities
                                            and Exchange Commission; Additional
                                            Information.

                  Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System
(EDGAR) , a Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for
such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2002, the
Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust
Fund, if applicable. Prior to March 30, 2002, the Trustee shall file a Form
10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust
Fund. The Company hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to
execute and file each such document on behalf of the Company. Such power of
attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee
from the Company of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. The Company agrees to promptly furnish to the
Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and
financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file
all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility to file any items with the Commission other than those specified
in this section.

                  SECTION 3.27.             Administration of Buydown Funds.

                  (a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the
Sub-Servicer has deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the
requirements for a Sub-Servicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master
Servicer shall cause the Sub-Servicing Agreement to require that upon receipt
from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage
Loan, the Sub-Servicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined
amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor,
equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the
terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the
related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Sub-Servicer.

                  (b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such
loan in its entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds
are required to be applied


                                       75

<PAGE>



to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to withdraw
from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown
Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement. The amount of Buydown
Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related buydown agreement may
reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the
related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on
such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the property securing such
Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Master
Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the
Sub-Servicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown
Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit
the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the
Sub-Servicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed
by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance
Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer
pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted
pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on
the Mortgage Loan.

                  (g) The Trustee at the direction of the Master Servicer shall
invest or cause the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to invest
the funds in the Certificate Account in Permitted Investments designated in the
name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next
following the date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment prior to the
Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date shall be for the benefit of
the Master Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer
out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement.

                  (h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, if the
Master Servicer anticipates that a final distribution with respect to any Class
of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall, no later than the Determination Date in the month of such final
distribution, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, no later than two (2)
Business Days after such Determination Date, mail on such date to each Holder of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that: (i) the Trustee
anticipates that the final distribution with respect to such Class of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee or as otherwise
specified therein, and (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from
and after the end of the prior calendar month.

                  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-
tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the
Company, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the Trust Fund.
If within nine months after the second notice any such Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be
entitled to all unclaimed

funds and other assets which remain subject hereto. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of
such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

                  SECTION 4.03.             Remittance Reports; Advances by the
                                            Master Servicer.

                  (a) On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close
of business on the Determination Date (the "Remittance Report"), in the form of
an electromagnetic tape or disk. The Remittance Report and any written
information supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to
the Mortgage Loans that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making the
calculations and preparing the statement described in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, as
set forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from
time to time. The Trustee shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or
verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

                  (b) The Master Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount
of Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which shall
be in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Mortgage
Rate less the sum of the Master Servicing Fee Rate, the Sub-Servicing Fee


                                       84

Rate and any applicable Radian PMI Policy Rate), other than Balloon Payments,
less the amount of any related Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the
amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on
the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly
Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the related
Determination Date plus (2) with respect to each Balloon Loan delinquent in
respect of its Balloon Payment as of the close of business on the related
Determination Date, an amount equal to the assumed Monthly Payment (net of the
related Master Servicing Fees and Sub-Servicing Fees) that would have been due
on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization scheduled
for such Balloon Loan until such Balloon Loan is finally liquidated; provided
that no Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or
before 4:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the
Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own
funds, or funds received therefor from the Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the
Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related
Distribution Date, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial
Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion of the amounts
held for future distribution in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make
advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount
of such Advance. Any portion of the amounts held for future distribution so used
shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account
on or before 1:00 P.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit
Date to the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are
available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on
such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution Date. The
amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.11 in respect of outstanding
Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly
Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be
made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent
for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for
purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a
certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Seller and the Trustee with
the Remittance Report. The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant
to this Section 4.03 into the Certificate Account.

                  (c) In the event that the Master Servicer determines as of any
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date in the amount determined by the Master
Servicer pursuant to paragraph (b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of
its inability to Advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than
4:00 P.M., New York time, on such date, specifying the portion of such amount
that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 4:00 P.M., New York time, on
the earlier of (x) two Business Days following such Certificate Account Deposit
Date or (y) the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date, unless by
such time the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in the
Certificate Account the entire amount of the Advances required to be made for
the related Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and


                                       85

obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date.

                                            Interests.

         unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and second, to the Holders of
         REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A in an amount equal to (A) the

                  Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), until the
                  Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
                  zero;

                                    (B) second, to the Holders of REMIC 1
                  Regular Interest LT1A, until the Uncertificated Principal
                  Balance thereof is reduced to zero and second, to the Holders
                  of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B, until the Uncertificated
                  Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and

                                    (C) any remaining amount to the Holders of
                  the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1
                  Interest).

                  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the
following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed by REMIC 2
to REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates

         REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Amount is less than the REMIC 2
         Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of
         such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest

                  (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be

Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class B Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and fifth, to the Class M-1
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal
Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the
actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references
above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be
to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the
relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in
each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.

         Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof by the amount so allocated. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class
X Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(ix). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
or the Class R Certificates.

                  (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1A, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance has been reduced to
zero and then to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B until the Uncertificated
Principal Balance has been reduced to zero.

                  (c) All Realized Losses on the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A
and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B shall be deemed to have been allocated in the
specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest
payable to the REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2A and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2J
up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 2 Interest Loss Allocation Amount,
98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2A and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2J up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 2 Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and
2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2
Regular Interest LT2A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2I and REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LT2J, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2I has been reduced to zero; fourth, to
the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2A, REMIC 2
Regular Interest LT2H and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2J, 98%, 1% and 1%,

Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2H has been reduced to zero; and
fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LT2A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2G and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2J, 98%, 1%
and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2
Regular Interest LT2G has been reduced to zero.

                  SECTION 4.06.             Information Reports to Be Filed by
                                            the Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers shall file
information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in
a trade or business, foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with
respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of
the Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that such reports have been filed. 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 4.07.             Compliance with Withholding
                                            Requirements.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the
Mortgage Loans, that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the
Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such
withholding. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with
its monthly report to such Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof,
indicate such amount withheld.

                                THE CERTIFICATES


                  SECTION 5.01.             The Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective
forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A, B-1, B-2 and B-3. The Certificates will be
issuable in registered form only. The Certificates (other than the Class X
Certificates and the Class R Certificates) will be issued in minimum
denominations of $25,000 Initial Certificate Principal Balance or Initial
Notional Amount, as applicable, and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.
The Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates will be issuable in
minimum denominations of any Percentage Interest representing 20.00% and
multiples of 0.01% in excess thereof.

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written
request of the Company executed by an officer of the Company, be executed and
delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon
the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified
in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by a
Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time they signed the proper officers of the Trustee
shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of
such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing
Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter
shall be dated the date of their authentication.

                  (b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of
the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate
Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their
respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Book-Entry Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of such
Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective
Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall transfer
the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee shall not be
required to monitor,


                                       90

<PAGE>



determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and the Trustee shall have no liability
for transfers of Ownership Interests in the Book Entry Certificates made through
the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or between or among Depositary
Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of the applicable
restrictions.

                  The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes
of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to
the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of any Class of Book- Entry Certificates with respect to any particular
matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date
in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

                  If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Company at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including,
without limitation, 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 and the Master Servicer
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

                  (c) Each Certificate is intended to be a "security" governed
by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York and any other applicable jurisdiction, to the extent that any of such laws
may be applicable.

                  SECTION 5.02.             Registration of Transfer and
                                            Exchange of Certificates.

                  (a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

                  (b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition of a Class X Certificate or a Class R Certificate
shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance
with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class X Certificate or
Class R Certificate is to be made under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Trustee
shall require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee that such transfer shall be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said
Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master
Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be required in
connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or
any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Company and (ii) the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter, substantially
in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor
to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2
hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
certifying to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,
which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company
or the Master Servicer; provided however that such representation letters will
not be required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the
Company to an affiliate of the Company 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 Company of the status of such
transferee as an affiliate of the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee,
the Company and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable
federal and state laws.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.02(b),
transfers of Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates may be made in
accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of a
Certificate provides the Trustee and the Company with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master
Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such
transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section
5.02(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class X
Certificates or Class R Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section
5.02(c) by the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company and
the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state
laws.

                  The Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel from a
prospective transferee prior to the transfer of any Class X Certificate or Class
R Certificate to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a "Plan"), to a
trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who
is using "plan assets" of any Plan to effect such


                                       92

<PAGE>



acquisition (including any insurance company using funds in its general or
separate accounts that may constitute "plan assets"). Such Opinion of Counsel
must establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee that such transfer is
permissible under applicable law, will not violate the prohibited transaction
provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, will not cause
the assets of the Trust Fund to constitute "plan assets" within the meaning of
29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101, and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Company to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be
required to obtain such Opinion of Counsel on behalf of any prospective
transferee.

                  (d) [Reserved].

                  (e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Class R 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 authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:

                  (A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
         a Class R 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.

                  (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
         Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery
         to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
         until its receipt of (I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer
         Affidavit and Agreement" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5)
         from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a
         Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest
         in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer
         as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
         Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a
         Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
         and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees
         to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached
         hereto as Exhibit G-4, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R
         Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
         representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the
         proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

                  (C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
         Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
         Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has
         actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
         Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R
         Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

<PAGE>



                  (D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
         a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
         and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
         transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to
         transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the
         Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.

                  (E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
         a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
         Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a
         "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
         Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
         Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is "a pass-through
         interest holder", or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R
         Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through interest holder."

                  (ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5, a certificate of the Holder
requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a
condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates other than
to Permitted Transferees are prohibited.

                  (iii) (A) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee
shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person
shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R
Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
transfer of such Class R Certificate. The prior Holder shall be entitled to
recover from any purported Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not
a Permitted Transferee under this Section 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder
all payments made on such Class R Certificate. Each Holder of a Class R
Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have
consented to the provisions of this clause (b) and to any amendment of this
Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise)
by counsel of the Company to ensure that the Class R Certificates are not
transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee and that any
transfer of such Class R Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or
for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
this Agreement.

                           (B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02
and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right,
without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R Certificate, to
sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such
terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions
of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The proceeds of such
sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to
such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and
the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

                  (iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an
ownership interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such
Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and
certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real
estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time
any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall
be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information as may be
required from those Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as
specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph for providing such
information.

                  (f) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be
accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee or
transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for
distribution by wire transfer.

                  (g) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may
be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory
to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. In


                                       95

<PAGE>



addition, with respect to 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, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R
Certificate being exchanged.

                  (h) No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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.

                  (i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's
standard procedures.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest. Upon
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee 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) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and any agent of any of them may treat the person 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 neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05.             Rule 144A Information.

                  For so long as any Class X Certificates and Class R
Certificates are outstanding and are "restricted securities" within the meaning
of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Company will provide or cause
to be provided to any holder of such Certificates and any prospective purchaser
thereof designated by such a holder, upon the request of such holder or
prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such holder or
prospective purchaser by Rule


                                       96

<PAGE>



144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Company shall update such
information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming
false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure
that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such
Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Company and furnish the Company such information in the
Master Servicer's possession as the Company may reasonably request.

                       THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER

                  SECTION 6.01.             Liability of the Company and the
                                            Master Servicer.

                  The Company and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein. Only the
Master Servicer, any successor Master Servicer or the Trustee acting as Master
Servicer shall be liable with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and
the REO Property for actions taken by any such Person in contravention of the
Master Servicer's duties hereunder.

                  SECTION 6.02.             Merger, Consolidation or Conversion
                                            of the Company or the Master
                                            Servicer.

                  The Company and the Master Servicer each will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the state of its incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

                  Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may
be merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any
merger or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, 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 or surviving
Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and
service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

                  SECTION 6.03.             Limitation on Liability of the
                                            Company, the Master Servicer and
                                            Others.

                  Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Company or the Master Servicer (but this
provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section
hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not protect the Company,
the Master Servicer or any such person, against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful


                                       98

<PAGE>



misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company,
the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
or the Master 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 Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel),
other than (a) any loss, liability or expense related to Master Servicer's
servicing obligations with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer's
obligations under Section 3.01, or (b) any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that the Company or the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any action or
liability related to the Master Servicer's obligations under Section 3.01) shall
be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate
Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate
Account.

                  SECTION 6.04.             Limitation on Resignation of the
                                            Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee upon receipt by the Trustee of a letter
from each Rating Agency (obtained by the Master Servicer and at its expense)
that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master Servicer) to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

                  SECTION 6.05.             Sale and Assignment of Master
                                            Servicing.

                  The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations in their entirety as Master Servicer under
this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee
accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which


                                       99

<PAGE>



shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b)
shall, in the case of successor master servicers only, have a net worth of not
less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant
to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as
evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee) as having a comparable servicing
ability to that of the Master Servicer on the Closing Date; (d) shall execute
and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement and any
custodial agreement, from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii)
each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the
proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency's rating of the
Certificates (without regard to any Certificate Policy) in effect immediately
prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a
letter to such effect obtained by the Master Servicer at its expense and
delivered to the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling
the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Master Servicer), each stating that
all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed
and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement.
No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master
Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

                                     DEFAULT

                  SECTION 7.01.             Events of Default.

                  "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:

                (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the
         Certificate Account on each Certificate Account Deposit Date the
         amounts required to be deposited therein (other than an Advance) under
         the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for two (2)
         Business Days after such amount was required to be remitted; or

               (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
         observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
         or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
         Certificates or in this Agreement (including any breach of the Master
         Servicer's representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
         which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
         Certificateholders (without regard to any Certificate Policy)) which
         continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
         written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
         shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the
         Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled
         to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

              (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
         authority having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present
         or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the
         appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
         insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
         or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
         affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such
         decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed
         for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

               (iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of
         or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or
         substantially all of its property; or

                (v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
         pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of or otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding
         under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
         similar statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
         or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

               (vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate
         Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any
         required Advance which continues


                                       101

<PAGE>



         unremedied for the earlier of (a) a period of two (2) Business Days or
         (b) the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v) of this Section shall
occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default
shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of Certificates),
with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and
obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the successor to the Master
Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have accepted the duties of
Master Servicer effective upon the resignation or termination of the Master
Servicer. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur,
the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer, and the Company, terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee determines (in its sole
discretion) that the failure by the Master Servicer to make any required Advance
was due to circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was
otherwise made, the Trustee shall not terminate the Master Servicer. On or after
the receipt by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master 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 or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise at the
expense of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
hereto and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of any Certificate,
acknowledge and agree that there will be a period of transition before the
actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to the Trustee, as successor
Master Servicer, or to a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee
pursuant to the provisions hereof; provided, that the Trustee shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to succeed to the actual servicing functions or
find a successor Master Servicer as soon as possible but no later than 90 days
after such termination; and provided, further, that the successor Master
Servicer or the Trustee shall continue to make Advances during the transition
period. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with (and pay any related costs
and expenses of) the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer for administration
by it of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the
Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund; (ii) originals or
copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the
Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder; (iii)
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under the Sub-Servicing
Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans; (iv) all cash amounts which shall
at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or should have been deposited to
the Custodial or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans; and (v) all costs or expenses associated with the
complete transfer of all servicing


                                       102

data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as
may be required by the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
Trustee or successor Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have breached any obligation
hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution
as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to
remit any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents held by it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
corporate trust division has actual knowledge thereof or unless notice of any
event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the Trustee as
provided in Section 11.05 and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust
Fund or this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.02.             Trustee to Act; Appointment of
                                            Successor.

                  Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(i) - (v), the Trustee or its
appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer including the obligation to make Advances which have been or will be
required to be made (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12 and 4.01(g)) by the terms and provisions hereof;
and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 4.03 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled to charge to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if the
Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. If the Trustee has become the
successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section
7.02, then notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall be unable to so act, the Trustee may appoint, or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction or appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, which is also a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac- approved mortgage
servicing institution, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. Each of the Seller, the
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In no event
shall the successor Master Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of the
predecessor Master Servicer.



                                       103

<PAGE>



                  Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer
shall maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder policies
and fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required
pursuant to Section 3.18.

                  SECTION 7.03.             Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to the Rating Agencies.

                  (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates
notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

                  SECTION 7.04.             Waiver of Events of Default.

                  The Holders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such
default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section
7.01(vi)); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) a default or Event of Default under
clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver
pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the
manner set forth in the second paragraph of Section 11.01 or materially
adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any such waiver of a
default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage
of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default,
such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Master Servicer
shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 7.05.             List of Certificateholders.

                  Upon written request of three or more Certificateholders of
record, for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such
Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01.             Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs, is continuing and has
not been waived, 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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

                  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 in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement. 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer hereunder or any Opinion of
Counsel required hereunder.

                  The Trustee shall prepare and file or cause to be filed on
behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that is required with respect to REMIC
1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws.

                  The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its
obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC
2 and REMIC 3 under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any
federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other
tax on any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the extent that maintaining such
status and avoiding such taxes are within the control of the Trustee and are
within the scope of specific responsibilities under this Agreement.

                  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 willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

                         (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
                  after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default 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


                                       105

<PAGE>



                  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 liable for an error of
                  judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
                  Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved
                  that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
                  facts; and

                       (iii) The Trustee shall not be 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 Holders of
                  Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
                  relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
                  proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
                  exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
                  under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02.             Certain Matters Affecting the
                                            Trustee.

                           Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                (a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting
         or refraining from acting in reliance 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;

                (b) 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 therewith;

                (c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
         the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its
         obligation to give notice pursuant to 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; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve
         the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
         Default of which a Responsible Office of the Trustee's corporate trust
         department has actual knowledge (which has not been waived or cured),
         to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
         Agreement, and to 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;


                                       106

<PAGE>



                (d) The Trustee shall not be 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;

                (e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
         after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default 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 document, unless requested in writing to do so
         by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
         Rights; 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, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
         afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement reasonable expense of
         every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders
         requesting the investigation;

                (f) 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; and

                (g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety
         with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers
         granted hereunder.

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

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II) shall
be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties 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 Company of any of the
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Company or the Master Servicer in respect
of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account by
the Master Servicer.

                  SECTION 8.04.             Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity (other
than as Trustee hereunder) may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with
the parties hereto.

                  SECTION 8.05.             Trustee's Fees.

                  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Certificate Account as compensation hereunder the Trustee
Fees. Such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be paid for
all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or of the
Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against any claim, loss, liability, fee or
expense incurred in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this
Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened
claim or legal action) relating to the acceptance or administration of its
trusts hereunder or the Trustee's performance under the Certificates, other than
any claim, loss, liability or expense (i) sustained in connection with this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement related to the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance
of its duties hereunder or (ii) incurred in connection with a breach
constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties hereunder.

                  The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any such claim or
legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), loss,
liability, fee or expense that may be sustained in connection with this
Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the
performance of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder.

                  The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.06.             Eligibility Requirements for
                                            Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a
national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, 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. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be
acceptable to the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation
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 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The corporation or
national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Seller and their affiliates or the Master Servicer
and its affiliates;


                                       108

<PAGE>



provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an affiliate of the Master
Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

                  SECTION 8.07.             Resignation and Removal of the
                                            Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer;
with a copy to the Rating Agencies; provided, that such resignation shall not be
effective until a successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment in
accordance with the following provisions; provided, however, that the resigning
Trustee shall not resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created until
such time as the Rating Agency rating the Certificates approves the successor
trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of
Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have 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 Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged 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, the
Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who meets
the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in
triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to
the successor trustee.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of
such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Company by
the Master Servicer.

                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 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 Master 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


                                       109

<PAGE>



conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall after payment of its
outstanding fees and expenses, promptly deliver to the successor trustee all
assets and records of the Trust Fund held by it hereunder, and the Master
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver all such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
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 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Master Servicer.

                  SECTION 8.09.             Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

                  Any state bank or trust company or national banking
association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or national banking
association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such state bank or trust company or national banking association shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 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 hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Master Servicer 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 Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make
such appointment without the Master Servicer. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet


                                       110

<PAGE>



the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and
no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or
separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

                  In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred or such
co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, 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 Master
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 Fund or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the 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.

                  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.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 9.01.             Termination Upon Repurchase or
                                            Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans or
                                            upon Purchase of Certificates.

         (a) Subject to Section 9.03, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders and to the Certificate Insurer as
hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and
to the Certificate Insurer of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them hereunder following the earlier to occur of (i)
the repurchase by the Optional Termination Holder or its assignee or designee of
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in the
Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan (other than one as to which a REO Property was acquired) on the
day of repurchase together with accrued interest on such unpaid principal
balance at the Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which the proceeds
of such repurchase are to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value of any
REO Property (but not more than the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, together with accrued interest on that balance at the Mortgage
Rate to the first day of the month such repurchase price is distributed), less
the good faith estimate of the Optional Termination Holder of liquidation
expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof, such appraisal
to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Optional Termination
Holder and the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer and (c) the
Reimbursement Amount due to the Certificate Insurer, and (ii) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in
respect thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created
hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date occurring in
March 2031 and (ii) 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, living on the date hereof, and provided
further that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is
necessary, as determined by the Optional Termination Holder, to avoid
disqualification of any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as a REMIC. In the case
of any repurchase by the Optional Termination Holder pursuant to clause (i), the
Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the
Trustee in effecting such repurchase and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and
related Mortgage Files and related records to the Optional Termination Holder.

                  The right of the Optional Termination Holder or its assignee
or designee to repurchase all Mortgage Loans pursuant to (i) above shall be
conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans
at the time of any such repurchase aggregating an amount equal to or less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. If such right is exercised, the Optional Termination Holder upon
such repurchase shall provide


                                       112

<PAGE>



to the Trustee, notice of such exercise prior to the Determination Date in the
month preceding the month of purchase and the certification required by Section
3.16.

                  Written notice of any termination, specifying the 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 by letter to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the Optional Termination Holder's
election to repurchase, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the
25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of
the Trustee therein specified. In the event such notice is given in connection
with the Optional Termination Holder or its designee's election to repurchase,
the Optional Termination Holder or its designee shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date specified in such notice an amount equal to the
above-described repurchase price payable out of its own funds. Upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
first, pay itself the Trustee's Fees for such Distribution Date and any other
amounts owing to the Trustee under this Agreement, second, distribute to the
Certificate Insurer, the Reimbursement Amount and third, distribute to the
Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution
Date, if not in connection with the Optional Termination Holder's election to
repurchase, or (ii) if the Optional Termination Holder elected to so repurchase,
an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Regular Certificate (other
than the Class A-IO Certificates), the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
thereof, plus with respect to each Regular Certificate, one month's interest
thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate and any Unpaid Interest Shortfall
Amount, plus with respect to each Mezzanine Certificate, any unpaid Allocated
Realized Loss Amount; and with respect to the Class R Certificates, the
Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any,
between the above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be
distributed to the Holders of the Regular Certificates, subject to the
priorities set forth in Section 4.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by
acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders of the Class R Certificates
agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any
amounts received in respect of such termination to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates and to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer,
following such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage
Files as directed by the Optional Termination Holder for the remaining Mortgage
Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments required by the Optional Termination Holder as being necessary to
effectuate such transfer.

                  In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time
specified in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for


                                       113

<PAGE>



cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as
directed by the Company in writing, or appoint an agent to take reasonable
steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain subject hereto. If within nine months after the second
notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets which remain subject hereto.

                  SECTION 9.02.             Termination of REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.

                  REMIC 2 shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final
Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed
distributions on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the last distribution due on
the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the
Class R-2 Interest) is made. REMIC 3 shall be terminated on the earlier of the
Final Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last
deemed distributions on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the last distribution
due on the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the
Class R-3 Interest) is made.

                  SECTION 9.03.             Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event the Optional Termination Holder repurchases
the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Optional Termination Holder, at its own expense, obtains for the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply
with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition
on the Trust of taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F
of the Code, or (ii) cause either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:

                  (i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation
         period for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3, as the case may be, and
         specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the
         Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section
         1.860F-1. The Trustee also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a

                                REMIC PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 10.01.            REMIC Administration.

         (a) The Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as three
REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC elections in respect of
the Trust Fund, (i) the Class R-1 Interest will constitute the sole class of
"residual interest" in REMIC 1, (ii) the Class R-2 Interest will constitute the
sole class of "residual interest" in REMIC 2, and (iii) the Class R-3 Interest
will constitute the sole class of "residual interest" in REMIC 3, and the
Regular Certificates shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC 3.
The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any
"interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC 1, REMIC 2
or REMIC 3 other than the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Interest
(in the case of REMIC 1), the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Class R-2
Interest (in the case of REMIC 2), and the Regular Certificates and the Class
R-3 Interest (in the case of REMIC 3). The Trustee will apply for an Employee
Identification Number from the IRS via form SS-4 or any other acceptable method
for each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.

         (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the
Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

         (c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the REMICs,
other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel except as
specified herein and except that the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Custodial Account for any professional fees and expenses related to any
non-routine audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings that do not
result from any breach of its tax duties under this Section 10.01. The Trustee,
as agent for the REMICs' tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the
REMICs in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and
(ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest
Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably
appoint the Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of
the tax matters person for the REMICs.

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days of the Closing
Date) in respect of the REMICs created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and
filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
REMICs as is in its


                                       116

<PAGE>



possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its
obligations under this Article X.

                  (e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the REMICs all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
REMICs 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, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such
compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports
as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating
to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of the REMICs. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely
basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the REMICs,
including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and
reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under
this subsection. In addition, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided
to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or
data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as
to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of
the Certificates.

                  (f) To the extent that the affairs of the Trust Fund are
within its control and the scope of its specific responsibilities under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the REMICs created
hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the
status thereof as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer
shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The Trustee shall
not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 the REMIC 1,
REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as REMICs or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the
REMICs (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse
REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed
to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in
no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not, with respect to the REMICs created hereunder, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer
take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to
which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the REMICs
or the assets of the REMICs, or causing the REMICs to take any action, which is
not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will
consult with counsel, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse
REMIC Event to occur with respect to the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer
shall not take any such action or cause the Trust Fund to take any such action
as to which counsel


                                       117

<PAGE>



has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee
may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall
be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this
Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.

                  (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of the REMICs created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the REMICs as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the REMICs after
the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other
tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax
laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any
of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise, (iii) to the Master Servicer as provided in Section 3.05 and (iv)
against amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and shall be paid by
withdrawal therefrom to the extent not required to be paid by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

                  (h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2002, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating (without
regard to any action taken by any party other than the Trustee) the Trustee's
compliance with this Article X.

                  (i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on
an accrual basis.

                  (j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to the REMICs other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.04
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be at the
expense of the party requesting to make such contribution and not at the expense
of the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the REMICs
will not cause the REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as REMICs at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject either REMIC 1, REMIC
2 or REMIC 3 to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

                  (k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit the REMICs to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

                  SECTION 10.02.            Prohibited Transactions and
                                            Activities.

                  None of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall
sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in
connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage


                                       118

<PAGE>



Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged
Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the
Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 pursuant to
Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this
Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of
this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for the Trust Fund (other than REO
Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose
of any investments in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account for gain,
nor accept any contributions to the REMICs after the Closing Date (other than a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03),
unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the
expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a)
affect adversely the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as REMICs or (b)
cause the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03.            Master Servicer and Trustee
                                            Indemnification.

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Company, and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants set forth in this Article X.

                  (b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the Company and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Company or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X, in each case
with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01.            Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any 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 or to correct any error, (iii) to amend this Agreement in any
respect subject to the provisions in clauses (A) and (B) below, or (iv) if such
amendment, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person
requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary to
comply with any requirements imposed by the Code or any successor or amendatory
statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue ruling, revenue procedure
or other written official announcement or interpretation relating to federal
income tax laws or any proposed such action which, if made effective, would
apply retroactively to the Trust Fund at least from the effective date of such
amendment; provided that such action (except any amendment described in (iv)
above) shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder (other than Certificateholders who shall consent to such
amendment), as evidenced by (A) an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person
requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, and (B) a letter from each
Rating Agency, confirming that such amendment shall not cause it to lower its
rating (without regard to any Certificate Policy) on any of the Certificates.
Any amendment shall require the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer
if such amendment could adversely affect the interest of the Certificate
Insurer.

                  This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights 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 shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner
other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights of
such Class, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders
of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Seller or the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters described in (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
paragraph.

                  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting
such amendment) to the effect that such amendment will


                                       120

<PAGE>



not result in the imposition of any tax on either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment or a written statement describing the
amendment to each Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but 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.

                  Prior to executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the
Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The cost of any Opinion of Counsel
delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment, but in any case shall not be an expense of the
Trustee.

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

                  Article IX of this Agreement may only be amended with the
written consent of the Optional Termination Holder.

                  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 Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but
only upon direction of the Company 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
constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, 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
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third party 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 notice of an Event of
Default, or of a default by the Seller or the Trustee in the performance of any
obligation hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided,
and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% 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 60 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, 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, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

                  SECTION 11.04.            Governing Law.

                  This Agreement and the Certificates shall be 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

                                   ARTICLE XII

                CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE CERTIFICATE INSURER

                  SECTION 12.01.            Rights of the Certificate Insurer To
                                            Exercise Rights of Insured
                                            Certificateholders.

         By accepting its Certificate, each Insured Certificateholder agrees
that unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall
have the right to exercise all consent, voting, direction and other control
rights of the Insured Certificateholders under this Agreement without any
further consent of the Insured Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 12.02.            Claims Upon the Certificate Policy;
                                            Certificate Insurance Account.

                  (a) If, on or before the third Business Day prior to any
Distribution Date, the Trustee determines, based on the report obtained from the
Master Servicer, that (i) the Available Distribution Amount is insufficient to
pay the related Monthly Interest Distributable Amount due on the Insured
Certificates except for (A) any shortfalls resulting from the application of the
Relief Act and (B) any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the related
Insured Certificates on such Distribution Date, or (ii) the funds that will be
on deposit in the Certificate Account, to the extent distributable to the
Insured Certificateholders with respect to principal on the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date will be insufficient to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balances of any Insured Certificates to zero, the Trustee shall draw on the
related Certificate Policy the Insured Payment for each related Insured
Certificate, by giving notice by telephone or telecopy of the aggregate amount
of such deficiency, confirmed in writing in the form set forth as Exhibit A to
the related Certificate Policy, to the Certificate Insurer and the Fiscal Agent
(as defined in the related Certificate Policy), if any, at or before 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to such Distribution Date.
If, subsequent to such notice, and prior to payment by the Certificate Insurer
pursuant to such notice, additional amounts are deposited in the Certificate
Account, the Trustee shall reasonably promptly notify the Certificate Insurer
and withdraw the notice or reduce the amount claimed, as appropriate.

                  (b) The Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose
trust account for the benefit of Holders of any Insured Certificates and the
Certificate Insurer referred to herein as the "Certificate Insurance Account"
over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of
withdrawal. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under a Certificate Policy
in the Certificate Insurance Account and distribute such amount only for
purposes of payment to Holders of the related Insured Certificates of the
Insured Payment for which a claim was made. Such amount may not be applied to
satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Trust Fund. Amounts paid under a Certificate Policy shall be transferred
to the Certificate Account in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph and
disbursed by the Trustee to Holders of the related Insured Certificates in
accordance with Section 4.01. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be
made by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used
to


                                       125

<PAGE>



pay the Insured Payment with other funds available to make such payment.
However, the amount of any payment of principal of or interest on the related
Insured Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the Certificate
Insurance Account shall be noted as provided in paragraph (c) below and in the
statement to be furnished to Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02. Funds held in the Certificate Insurance Account shall not be invested by
the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee.

         On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made
under a Certificate Policy, the amount of any funds received by the Trustee as a
result of any claim under the related Certificate Policy, to the extent required
to make the Insured Payment on such Distribution Date shall be withdrawn from
the Certificate Insurance Account and deposited in the Certificate Account and
applied by the Trustee, together with the other funds to be distributed to the
related Insured Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01, directly to the
payment in full of the Insured Payment due on the related Insured Certificates.
Any funds remaining in the Certificate Insurance Account on the first Business
Day following a Distribution Date shall be remitted to the Certificate Insurer,
pursuant to the instructions of the Certificate Insurer, by the end of such
Business Day.

                  (c) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of
the amount of interest and principal paid into the Certificate Insurance Account
in respect of any Insured Certificate from moneys received under any Certificate
Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times during normal business hours upon two Business Day's prior
notice to the Trustee.

                  (d) In accordance with the terms of each Certificate Policy,
any claim on the related Certificate Policy in respect of a Preference Amount
(as defined in the Certificate Policy), shall require the Trustee to obtain a
certified copy of the order requiring the return of a preference payment, an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer that the order is
final and not subject to appeal, and other documentation as required by the
Certificate Policy. Any such opinion of counsel shall be provided at the sole
expense of the Underwriter, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment
Letter.

                  SECTION 12.03.            Effect of Payments by the
                                            Certificate Insurer; Subrogation.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of this
Section 12.03, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on any
Insured Certificates which is made with monies received pursuant to the terms of
the related Certificate Policy shall not be considered payment of any Insured
Certificates from the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer, the Company and the
Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of an Insured Certificate
agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the
Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes payments,
directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Insured
Certificates to the Holders of such Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will
be fully subrogated to, and each related Insured Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the
Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such
Holders to


                                       126

<PAGE>



consent to any amendment as provided in Section 11.01 and the rights of such
Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund; provided
that the Certificate Insurer shall be paid such amounts only from the sources
and in the manner explicitly provided for herein.

         The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate in all respects
with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or
enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement
without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders as
otherwise set forth herein.

                  SECTION 12.04.            Notices and Information to the
                                            Certificate Insurer.

                  (a) All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions
required by this Agreement to be sent to any other party hereto, to the Rating
Agencies or to the Certificateholders shall also be sent to the Certificate
Insurer.

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall designate a Person who shall be
available to the Certificate Insurer to provide reasonable access to information
regarding the Mortgage Loans.

                  SECTION 12.05.            Trustee to Hold Certificate Policy.

         The Trustee will hold each Certificate Policy in trust as agent for the
related Insured Certificateholders for the purpose of making claims thereof and
distributing the proceeds thereof. Each Insured Certificateholder, by accepting
its Certificate, appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
making claims on the related Certificate Policy. The Trustee shall surrender
each Certificate Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation upon the
expiration of the term of the related Certificate Policy as provided in such
Certificate Policy following the retirement of the related Insured Certificates.

                  SECTION 12.06.            Ratings.

         The parties hereto agree that references in this Agreement to ratings
on the Certificates or interests of the Certificateholders shall be determined
without regard to any Certificate Policy.


                  SECTION 12.07.            Third Party Beneficiaries.

         The Certificate Insurer shall be an express third-party beneficiary of
this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the related provisions of
this Agreement as if it were a party hereto. The Optional Termination Holder
shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

                                  SERIES 2001-2

     evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the
     Class  A-__  Certificates  with  respect  to a Trust  Fund  consisting
     primarily of a pool of conforming one- to four-family fixed-rate first
     lien mortgage loans formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

     This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and
does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets Corp.,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates.
Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation
with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.

     This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the
aggregate Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of all Class
A-___ Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with
respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of
conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Impac Secured Assets Corp.

(hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among
the Company, the Master Servicer and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     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, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as described in
the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of [interest and] [principal], if
any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class A-__ Certificates on such
Distribution Date.

     Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by
a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds
(by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto
if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least
5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial [Certificate Principal Balance]
[Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above. The [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to the extent of
[distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

     This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued
in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

     [This Certificate is entitled to the benefits of an irrevocable and
unconditional certificate guaranty insurance policy issued by MBIA Insurance
Corporation.]

     The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is


                                       A-3

<PAGE>



reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.

     As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and
the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be
made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, respectively, from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

     The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and 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 authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or

assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.

     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, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as described in
the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest [and principal], if
any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class [M- __][B] Certificates on
such Distribution Date.

     Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by
a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds
(by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto
if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least
5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial [Certificate Principal
Balance][Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above. The
[Certificate Principal Balance][Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to the
extent of [the distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.

     This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued
in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

     The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.

     As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and
the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be
made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, respectively, from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,

such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the
Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred,
by either of them.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

     The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and 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 authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

     This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

     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 Company 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 Company 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 Master Servicer or the Company; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Company 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 Company 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.

     No transfer of this Certificate to a 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 using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made
except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by

thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

     The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain

<PAGE>



limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

     This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

     The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and
the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the purchase by the Optional Termination Holder or its assignee or designee
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in
respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund, thereby effecting early retirement
of the Certificates and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof).

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
     Class R Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily
     of a pool of one- to four- family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans
     formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

     This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and
does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets Corp.,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates.
Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation

     This certifies that _________________________________ is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate stated above in

pool of one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage

the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.


     This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate and
will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the Agreement.
In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the
Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at
the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee for
that purpose.

     This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued
in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

     As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and
the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be
made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, respectively, from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

     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 Company 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 Company 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 Master Servicer or the Company; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Company 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 Company 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.

     No transfer of this Certificate to a 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 using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made
except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.

     Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound
by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
restrictions that (i) each person holding or


                                      B-3-3

<PAGE>



acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in this Certificate may be transferred
without delivery to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed
transferee and (b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such
documents to be in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree to
require a transfer affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the
Trustee as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or
acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree not to transfer
an Ownership Interest in this Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the
proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or
purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of
such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in
the purported transferee. Pursuant to the Agreement, The Trustee will provide
the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the information
needed to compute the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on transfers of
residual interests to disqualified organizations, if any person other than a
Permitted Transferee acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R Certificate in
violation of the restrictions mentioned above.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in

thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the

coupons in Classes and 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 authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               not been and will not be registered or qualified under the
               Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any state

               if registered and qualified pursuant to the provisions of the Act
               or any state securities law, or if an exemption from such
               registration and qualification is available, (d) the Pooling and
               Servicing Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer

                    2. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for its own
               account for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in
               connection with any distribution thereof in any manner that would
               violate the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

                    3. The Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated
               institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in
               financial and business matters, and, in particular, in such
               matters related to securities similar to the Certificates, such
               that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
               investment in the Certificates, (b) able to bear the economic
               risks of such an investment and (c) an "accredited investor"
               within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated pursuant to the
               Act.

                    4. The Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had an
               opportunity to review (a) [a copy of the Private Placement
               Memorandum, dated March [__], 2001, relating to the Certificates
               (b)] a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and [(b)]
               [(c)] such other information concerning the Certificates, the
               Mortgage Loans and the Company as has been requested by the
               Purchaser from the Company or the Seller and is relevant to the
               Purchaser's decision to purchase the Certificates. The Purchaser
               has had any questions arising from such review answered by the
               Company or the Seller to the satisfaction of the Purchaser. [If
               the Purchaser did not purchase the Certificates from the Seller
               in connection with the initial distribution of the Certificates
               and was provided with a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum
               (the "Memorandum") relating to the original sale (the "Original
               Sale") of the Certificates by the Company, the Purchaser
               acknowledges that such Memorandum was provided to it by the
               Seller, that the Memorandum was prepared by the Company solely
               for use in connection with the Original Sale and the Company did
               not participate in or facilitate in any way the purchase of the
               Certificates by the Purchaser from the Seller, and the Purchaser
               agrees that it will look solely to the Seller and not to the
               Company with respect to any damage, liability, claim or expense
               arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (a) error or
               omission, or alleged error or omission, contained in the
               Memorandum, or (b) any information, development or event arising
               after the date of the Memorandum.]

                    5. The Purchaser has not and will not nor has it authorized
               or will it authorize any person to (a) offer, pledge, sell,
               dispose of or otherwise transfer any Certificate, any interest in
               any Certificate or any other similar security to any person in
               any manner, (b) solicit any offer to buy or to accept a pledge,
               disposition of other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in
               any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in
               any manner, (c) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to
               any Certificate, any interest in


                                      G-1-2

<PAGE>



               any Certificate or any other similar security with any person in
               any manner, (d) make any general solicitation by means of general
               advertising or in any other manner or (e) take any other action,
               that (as to any of (a) through (e) above) would constitute a
               distribution of any Certificate under the Act, that would render
               the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of
               the Act or any state securities law, or that would require
               registration or qualification pursuant thereto. The Purchaser
               will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Certificates,
               except in compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and
               Servicing Agreement.

     Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any
     manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or
     in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a
     distribution of the Rule 144A Securities under the 1933 Act or that would

144A, the Buyer will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the
time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A. In
addition, the Buyer agrees that the Buyer will not purchase securities for a
third party unless the Buyer has obtained a current representation letter from

conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

        7. The Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this certification
is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such
notice is given, the Buyer's purchase of Rule 144A Securities will constitute a

               Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
               Series 2001-2, Class __
               -------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by
___________________________ (the "Seller") to _____________________________ (the
"Purchaser") of a ___% Percentage Interest in the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-2, Class R (the "Certificates"), issued pursuant to
Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), dated as of March 1, 2001, among Impac Secured Assets Corp., as
company (the "Company"), Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer and Wells
Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). All
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:

          1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the sale of the Certificates
by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.

          2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-5. The Seller does
not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

          3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section


                                      G-4-1

<PAGE>



1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Seller has
determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they have
become due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser
will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Seller
understands that the transfer of the Certificates may not be respected for
United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted
such an investigation.

          4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
a Disqualified Organization, an agent of a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-United States Person.

                                      Very truly yours,

                         : ss.:
COUNTY OF                       )


          ___________________, being first duly sworn, deposes, represents and
warrants:

          1. That he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner], a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ___________] [the United States], (the "Owner"), (record or beneficial
owner of the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates") on behalf of
which he/she makes this affidavit and agreement). This Class R Certificate was
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") dated as of March 1, 2001 among Impac Secured Assets
Corp., as company, Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer"), and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee
(the "Trustee").

          2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of _______________[date of transfer] within the meaning of
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for
so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and
(iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the
account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this
purpose, a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are
subject to tax and, except for Freddie Mac, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).

          3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code,
that applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii)
that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an
agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of


                                      G-5-1

<PAGE>



liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit
that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of
transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be "noneconomic residual
interests" within the meaning of 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.

          4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (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.)

          5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.

          6. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in
particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the
Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in
violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.

          7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.

          8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ______________.

          9. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.

          10. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.



                                      G-5-2

<PAGE>



          11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.

          12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

          13. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, provided that
with respect to any partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes, all persons that own an interest in
such partnership either directly or through any entity that is not a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes are required by the applicable
operative agreement to be United States Persons, or an estate or trust whose
income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for
United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

          14. (a) The Certificates (i) are not being acquired by, and will not
be transferred to, any employee benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(3)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or
other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and
annuities, Keogh plans and bank collective investment funds and insurance
company general or separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section

          waivers and assumptions that have been executed in connection with
          such Mortgage Loan;

          was the sole owner of beneficial title and holder of each Mortgage and
          Mortgage Note relating to the Mortgage Loans and is conveying the same
          free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances,
          participation interests, equities, pledges, charges or security
          interests of any nature and the Seller has full right and authority to
          sell or assign the same pursuant to this Agreement;

           (v)   each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the
          property securing the related Mortgage Note and each Mortgaged
          Property is owned by the Mortgagor in fee simple (except with respect
          to common areas in the case of condominiums, PUDs and de minimis PUDs)
          or by leasehold for a term longer than the term of the related
          Mortgage, subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes
          and assessments, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights
          of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
          recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions being acceptable to
          mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in
          the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the
          related Mortgage Loan or referred to in the lender's title insurance
          policy delivered to the originator of the related Mortgage Loan and
          (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
          which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
          intended to be provided by such Mortgage;

          (vi)  no payment of principal of or interest on or in respect of any
          Mortgage Loan is 30 or more days past due;

         (vii)  there is no mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or material
          affecting the premises subject to any Mortgage which is or may be a
          lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage except those
          which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in
          (xii) below;

        (viii)  as of the Cut-off Date, (i) no Mortgage Loan had been 30 days
          or more delinquent more than once during the preceding 12 months, (ii)
          no Mortgage Loan had been delinquent for 60 days or more during the
          preceding 12 months and (iii) to Seller's knowledge, there was no
          delinquent tax or assessment lien against the property subject to any
          Mortgage, except where such lien was being contested in good faith and
          a stay had been granted against levying on the property;

          (ix)  there is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
          Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor
          to pay the unpaid principal and interest on such Mortgage Note;

           (x) to Seller's knowledge, except to the extent insurance is in place
          which will cover such damage, the physical property subject to any
          Mortgage is free of material damage and is in good repair and there is
          no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
          condemnation of any Mortgaged Property;

          (xi)  to the best of Seller's knowledge, each Mortgage Loan at the
          time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable
          state and federal laws, including, without limitation, usury, equal
          credit opportunity and disclosure laws; and each Mortgage Loan is
          being serviced in all material respects in accordance with


                                       I-2

<PAGE>



          applicable state and federal laws, including, without limitation,
          usury, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws;

         (xii)   a lender's title insurance policy (on an ALTA or CLTA form) or
          binder, or other assurance of title customary in the relevant
          jurisdiction therefor in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie
          Mac, was issued on the date that each Mortgage Loan was created by a
          title insurance company which, to the best of Seller's knowledge, was
          qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the related
          Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller and its successors
          and assigns that the Mortgage is a first priority lien on the related
          Mortgaged Property in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
          Loan. Seller is the sole insured under such lender's title insurance
          policy, and such policy, binder or assurance is valid and remains in
          full force and effect, and each such policy, binder or assurance shall
          contain all applicable endorsements including a negative amortization
          endorsement, if applicable;

        (xiii)   in the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, either
          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 or if no duly qualified trustee has been properly designated
          and so serves, the Mortgage contains satisfactory provisions for the
          appointment of such trustee by the holder of the Mortgage at no cost
          or expense to such holder, and no fees or expenses are or will become
          payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
          connection with a trustee's sale after default by the mortgagor;

         (xiv)  (i) the Loan-to-Value Ratio of each Mortgage Loan at origination
          was not more than 97.00%; (ii) except with respect to approximately
          0.27% of the Mortgage Loans (by aggregate outstanding principal
          balance as of the Cut-off Date), each Mortgage Loan with a
          Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80.00% will be insured
          by one of the following: (a) a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a
          private mortgage insurer or (b) a Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy.
          96.25% of the Mortgage Loans will be insured by the GEMICO Policy.
          Claims on insured Mortgage Loans will reduce uninsured exposure to an
          amount equal to 50% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase
          price, as the case may be, of the related Mortgaged Property. Each
          Primary Insurance Policy will insure against default under each
          insured Mortgage Note as follows: (i) for which the outstanding
          principal balance at origination of such Mortgage Loan is greater than
          or equal to 80.01% and up to and including 90.00% of the lesser of the
          Appraised Value and the sales price, such Mortgage Loan is covered by
          a Primary Insurance Policy in an amount equal to at least 12.00% of
          the Allowable Claim and (ii) for which the outstanding principal
          balance at origination of such Mortgage Loan exceeded 90.00% of the
          lesser of the Appraised Value and the sales price, such Mortgage Loan
          is covered by a Primary Insurance Policy in an amount equal to at
          least 30.00% of the Allowable Claim. Each Radian Lender-Paid PMI
          Policy will insure against default under each insured Mortgage Note


                                       I-3

<PAGE>



          related to a covered Mortgage Loan as follows: (A) for which the
          outstanding principal balance at origination of such Mortgage Loan is
          at least 80.01% and up to and including 89.99% of the lesser of the
          Appraised Value and the sales price, such Mortgage Loan is covered by
          such Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy in an amount equal to at least
          22.00% of the Allowable Claim, (B) for which the outstanding principal
          balance at origination of such Mortgage Loan is at least 90.00% and up
          to and including 95.00% of the lesser of the Appraised Value and the
          sales price, such Mortgage Loan is covered by such Radian Lender-Paid
          PMI Policy in an amount equal to at least 25.00% of the Allowable
          Claim and (C) for which the outstanding principal balance at
          origination of such Mortgage Loan is at least 95.01% and up to and
          including 97.00% of the lesser of the Appraised Value and the sales
          price, such Mortgage Loan is covered by such Radian Lender-Paid PMI
          Policy in an amount equal to at least 35.00% of the Allowable Claim.
          The "Appraised Value" is the appraised value of the related Mortgaged
          Property at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan. The
          "Allowable Claim" for any Mortgage Loan covered by a Primary Insurance
          Policy or a Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy is the current principal
          balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest and allowable
          expenses at the time of the claim;

          (xv)  at the time of origination, each Mortgaged Property was the
          subject of an appraisal which conforms to the Seller's underwriting
          requirements, and a complete copy of such appraisal is contained in
          the Mortgage File;

         (xvi)   on the basis of a representation by the borrower at the time of
          origination of the Mortgage Loans, at least 91.05% of the Mortgage
          Loans (by aggregate principal balance) will be secured by Mortgages on
          owner-occupied primary residence properties;

        (xvii)   neither the Seller nor any servicer of the related Mortgage
          Loans has advanced funds or knowingly received any advance of funds by
          a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the
          payment of any amount required by the Mortgage, except for (i)
          interest accruing from the date of the related Mortgage Note or date
          of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to
          the date which precedes by 30 days the first Due Date under the
          related Mortgage Note, and (ii) customary advances for insurance and
          taxes;

       (xviii)  each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and other agreements
          executed in connection therewith are genuine, and each is the legal,
          valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
          accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be limited by
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
          the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equity
          principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
          proceeding in equity or at law); and, to the best of Seller's
          knowledge, all parties to


                                       I-4

<PAGE>



          each Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the
          Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage has
          been duly and properly executed by the Mortgagor;

         (xix)    to the extent required under applicable law, each conduit
          seller and subsequent mortgagee or servicer of the Mortgage Loans was
          authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which
          the related Mortgaged Property is located at all times when it held or
          serviced the Mortgage Loan; and any obligations of the holder of the
          related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other loan documents have been
          complied with in all material respects; servicing of each Mortgage
          Loan has been in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in
          Section 3.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the terms of
          the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgage and other loan documents, whether the
          creation of such Mortgage Loan and servicing was done by the Seller,
          its affiliates, or any third party which created the Mortgage Loan on
          behalf of, or sold the Mortgage Loan to, any of them, or any servicing
          agent of any of the foregoing;

          (xx)   the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage contain 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, and, to Seller's
          knowledge, there is no homestead or other exemption available to the
          Mortgagor which would interfere with such right to foreclosure;

         (xxi)   except with respect to holdbacks required by certain Mortgage
          Loans which holdbacks create a fund for (i) the repair of Mortgaged
          Property due to damage from adverse weather conditions, or (ii) the
          completion of new construction, or both, the proceeds of the Mortgage
          Loans have been fully disbursed, 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 therefor have been complied with; and all costs, fees and
          expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loan
          have been paid, except recording fees with respect to Mortgages not
          recorded as of the Closing Date;

        (xxii)   as of the Closing Date, the improvements on each Mortgaged
          Property securing a Mortgage Loan is insured (by an insurer which is
          acceptable to the Seller) against loss by fire and such hazards as are
          covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement in the locale
          in which the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is not
          less than the lesser of the maximum insurable value of the
          improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal
          balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event in an amount less than
          an amount that is required to prevent the Mortgagor from being deemed
          to be a co-insurer thereunder; if the improvement on the Mortgaged
          Property is a condominium unit, it is included under


                                       I-5

<PAGE>



          the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium project;
          if upon origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the improvements on
          the Mortgaged Property were in an area identified as a federally
          designated flood area, a flood insurance policy is in effect in an
          amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the
          outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
          restorable cost of improvements located on such Mortgaged Property or
          (iii) the maximum coverage available under federal law; and each
          Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the insurance
          referred to above at the Mortgagor's cost and expense;

       (xxiii)    there is no monetary default existing under any Mortgage or
          the related Mortgage Note and there is no material event which, with
          the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or
          cure period, would constitute a default, breach or event of
          acceleration; and neither the Seller, any of its affiliates nor any
          servicer of any related Mortgage Loan has taken any action to waive
          any default, breach or event of acceleration; no foreclosure action is
          threatened or has been commenced with respect to the Mortgage Loan;

        (xxiv)   to Seller's knowledge, no Mortgagor, at the time of origination
          of the applicable Mortgage, was a debtor in any state or federal
          bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

         (xxv)   Each Mortgage Loan was originated or funded by (a) a savings
          and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union,
          insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and
          examined by a federal or state authority (or originated by (i) a
          subsidiary of any of the foregoing institutions which subsidiary is
          actually supervised and examined by applicable regulatory authorities
          or (ii) a mortgage loan correspondent of any of the foregoing and that
          was originated pursuant to the criteria established by any of the
          foregoing) or (b) a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and
          Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National
          Housing Act, as amended;

        (xxvi)  all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
          or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
          Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
          including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire
          underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
          appropriate authorities;

       (xxvii)   to Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property and all
          improvements thereon comply with all requirements of any applicable
          zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

      (xxviii)   no instrument of release or waiver has been executed in
          connection with the Mortgage Loans, and no Mortgagor has been
          released, in whole or in part, except

          in connection with an assumption agreement which has been approved by
          the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and which has been
          delivered to the Trustee;

        (xxix)   except with respect to 3.02% of the Mortgage Loans (by
          aggregate principal balance) which provide for a balloon payment, each
