                                WITNESSETH THAT

     In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

     The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the
Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund and the Rounding Accounts
for federal income tax purposes will consist of two separate REMICs.  The
Certificates will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the

Upper REMIC.  The Class A-RU Certificates will represent the sole class of
residual interests in the Upper REMIC and the Class A-RL Certificates will
represent the sole class of residual interests in the Lower REMIC, as described
in Section 2.7.  The "latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax
purposes of all interests created hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date.

     The following table sets forth characteristics of the Certificates,
together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof
in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one Certificate of each
Class of Certificates may be issued in a different amount and, in addition, one
Residual Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be
issued in a different amount):

                                  ARTICLE II
                         CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     SECTION 2.1  Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

     (a) The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby
sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor,
without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received or receivable by
the Seller on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date and
all interest and principal payments on the Mortgage Loans received on or prior
to the Cut-off Date in respect of installments of interest and principal due
thereafter, but not including payments of principal and interest due and payable
on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date or amounts attributable to
Retained Yield. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the
Depositor or, at the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee of
the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule (except that, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans,
such delivery may take place within thirty (30) days following the Closing
Date). Such delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the
Depositor of the purchase price, previously agreed to by the Seller and
Depositor, for the Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that does
not have a first payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the
first Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit into the Distribution Account
on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date relating to the first
Distribution Date, an amount equal to one month's interest at the related
Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan.

     (b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right,
title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together with the
Depositor's right to require the Seller to cure any breach of a

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

representation or warranty made herein by the Seller or to repurchase or
substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance herewith.

     (c) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause (b)
above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian on its behalf (or, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date) for the benefit
of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to
each Mortgage Loan so assigned:

          (i)   (A) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile
     signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of
     ________________, without recourse," with all intervening endorsements
     showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person
     endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such endorsement being sufficient to
     transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as
     noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note); or

                (B) with respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note
     affidavit from the Seller stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost
     or destroyed, together with a copy of such Mortgage Note;

          (ii)  except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage or a
     copy of such Mortgage certified by the Seller as being a true and complete
     copy of the Mortgage;

          (iii) a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage in blank (which may
     be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with, except
     as provided below, all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each
     such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form
     and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
     thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided
     that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
     public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the
     information to be provided by the recording office;

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

          (v)   either the original or duplicate original title policy
     (including all riders thereto) with respect to the related mortgaged
     property, if available, provided that the title policy (including all
     riders thereto) will be delivered as soon as it becomes available, and if
     the title policy is not available, and to the extent required pursuant to
     the second paragraph below or otherwise in connection with the rating of
     the Certificates, a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
     report of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with
     respect to the mortgaged property, and

          (vi)  in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the
     following documents or instruments:

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

          (a) The Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
          (b) The executed Security Agreement;
          (c) The executed Proprietary Lease;
          (d) The executed Recognition Agreement;
          (e) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of  recording
     thereon which have been filed in all places required to perfect the
     Seller's interest in the Coop Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and
          (f) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC
     financing statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and
     unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording
     thereon (or in a form suitable for recordation).

     In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot
deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) all interim recorded
assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (ii) or (iii) above,
respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such
document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as
the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such
delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made
later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event
the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such
interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been
returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such
interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The
Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian
on its behalf (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with
the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office
requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the
public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Seller shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be
a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

     In addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the
Depositor cannot deliver the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause
(v) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf such original or duplicate original lender's title policy (together
with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

applicable title insurer, but in no event shall any such delivery of the
original or duplicate original lender's title policy be made later than one year
following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is
unable to deliver by such date the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) because the related Mortgage has not
been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver
such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as
possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding, in connection with any Mortgage
Loan for which either the original or duplicate original title policy has not
been delivered to the Trust, if at any time during the term of this Agreement
the parent company of the Seller does not have a long term senior debt rating of
A- or higher from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if rated by Fitch), then the
Depositor shall within 30 days deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf (if it has not previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder
or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company with respect to the mortgaged property.

     Subject to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable
subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30)
days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall (i) affix the Trustee's name to each
assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to
be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real
property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the
Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of
Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the information
required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master Servicer's
obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon
as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a
Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation States.

     In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Certificate Account
the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty
days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the Trustee
or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this
Section 2.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the Seller fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty-
day period provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best
reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such
Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller shall
have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such
thirty-day period, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall
send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans
delivered during such thirty-day period in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.2.

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of
the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans.

     SECTION 2.2  Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

     The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges receipt
of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit E and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will hold
such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it or the Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that the
Custodian will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of
Illinois, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

     The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian to
execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Seller an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E.
Based on its or the Custodian's review and examination, and only as to the
documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian 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 in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.

     On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of
the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans.

     Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or
shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Seller a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

     If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which
does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall
cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect
within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related
Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the
date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except
that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the
appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master
Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the
recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720
days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each
Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage
Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b)
as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan.
Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related
Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. Any
such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall
not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a)
above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a
Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. No substitution is
permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such
month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the
Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of
repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect
thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver
at the Seller's request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.

     The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession
and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the
Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time.

     It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute
for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.1 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect
available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the
Seller.

     SECTION 2.3  Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller and
Master Servicer.

     (a) First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, in its capacities as Seller and
Master Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the
Cut-off Date.

     (b) The Seller, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations
and warranties set forth in Schedule III hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date,
or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

     (c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.3(b) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants
that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written
notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made
pursuant to Section 2.3(b) which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all
material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day
period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such
Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set
forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf of a Request for Release
substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the Mortgage File for any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach.
With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section
which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by
either the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

     With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by
Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after
the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any 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 Master Servicer
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.  Upon such substitution, the
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)
with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit
to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in
connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the
Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage
Loan to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for
pursuant to this Section 2.3.

     For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after
application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in
the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution
Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Distribution Account Deposit
Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during
which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced
hereunder.

     In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.5 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.5 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such
breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their
behalf.

     The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 2.4  Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.

     The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.

     The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of
its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties of the Seller made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)
hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to require the Seller to cure
any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan
in accordance with this Agreement.

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

     It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 2.5  Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.

     (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90
days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such
substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited
transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as
defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii)
cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding.

     (b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery)
give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's option, to either (i)
substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.3(c) with respect to substitutions
are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in
the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.3. The Trustee shall reconvey or shall cause
the Custodian to reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released
pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it
would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty
contained in Section 2.3.

     SECTION 2.6  Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

     The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the
Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights
referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best

(1) The Notional Amount with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
    Interest Accrual Period) of the Class A-17 Certificates will equal the Class
    Certificate Balance of the Class A-16 Certificates immediately preceding
    such Distribution Date.

(2) The Pass-Through Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
    Interest Accrual Period) for the Class A-16 Certificates is the per annum
    rate equal to (a) 5.965% with respect to the first Distribution Date, and
    (b) thereafter, the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 0.40% and (ii) 8.50%, subject
    to a minimum rate of 0.40%.

(3) The Pass-Through Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
    Interest Accrual Period) for the Class A-17 Certificates is the per annum
    rate equal to (a) 2.535% with respect to the first Distribution Date, and
    (b) thereafter, 8.10% minus LIBOR, subject to a minimum rate of 0.00%.

(4) Interest accruing monthly at a per annum rate of 0.75% and 0.50% on the
    Lower REMIC Interest principal balances of the LTA-15 and LTA-18,
    respectively, shall be used to pay the Class A-17 Certificates.  Interest
    accruing monthly on the Lower REMIC Interest LTA-16 in excess of the per
    annum rate of the Class A-16 Certificates shall be used to pay the Class A-
    17 Certificates.


-------------

     On each Distribution Date Available Funds shall be distributed with respect
to the Lower REMIC Interests and the Class A-RL Certificate in a manner such
that:

     (i)   interest accrued on each Lower REMIC Interest is distributed with
           respect to each such Lower REMIC Interest in the same manner that
           Accrued Certificate Interest is distributed with respect to the
           Corresponding Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(i) and
           (ii);

     (ii)  interest accrued on the Class A-RL Certificate is distributed in the
           manner provided in Section 4.2(a)(i) and (ii);

     (iii) principal is distributed on each Lower REMIC Interest, such that the
           principal balance of each such Lower REMIC Interest always equals the
           principal balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates; and

     (iv)  principal is distributed on the Class A-RL Certificate as provided in
           Section 4.2(b)(ii)(1).

     Losses allocated to the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be
allocated to the corresponding class of Lower REMIC Interest as set forth in the
above table.

     SECTION 2.8  Covenants of the Master Servicer.

     The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

     (a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer
under each Required Insurance Policy; and

     (b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished
in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or
report not misleading.


                                  ARTICLE III
                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                               OF MORTGAGE LOANS

     SECTION 3.1  Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

     For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan
servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or cause to be done any
and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such
servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and
authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that
is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in
the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and
shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage
Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and
deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution
and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable
the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent
that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents,
the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them
to the Master Servicer.

     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 3.6, and further as
provided in Section 3.8. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

     SECTION 3.2  Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

     (a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however,
that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to
be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions
taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer 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.
All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing
agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same
force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer.

     (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 3.3  Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Master Servicer.

     The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder
and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related
rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the
Depositor shall have any responsibility or

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the
Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

     SECTION 3.4  Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.

     In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer
hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv)
responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v)
deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the
Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including
by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed
to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing
agreement.

     The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming
party.

     SECTION 3.5  Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account;
Distribution Account.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent
with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with
the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due
on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan
past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage
Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master
Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.1 during the scheduled period in accordance with the
amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by
reason of such arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to
institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment
(whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or
governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it
reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other
instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by
applicable law.

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

     (b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account
into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later
than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or
received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:

          (i)    all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
     including Principal Prepayments;

          (ii)   all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
     of the related Master Servicing Fee, any Prepayment Interest Excess and,
     for so long as First Horizon is the Master Servicer, any Retained Yield;

          (iii)  all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than
     proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
     Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master
     Servicer's normal servicing procedures;

          (iv)   any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
     pursuant to Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted
     Investments;

          (v)    any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
     pursuant to Section 3.9(b), 3.9(d), and in respect of net monthly rental
     income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

          (vi)   all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;

          (vi)   all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
     4.1; and

          (viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

     In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to be
deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount
of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of
interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at
the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on such date.

     The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment
charges, assumption fees or amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances,
if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event that the
Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at
any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account
to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished
by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in
the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.

     (c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:

          (i)   the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
     Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ix);

          (ii)  any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
     Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and

          (iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
     deposited in the Distribution Account.

     In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount
from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the
Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In
no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution
Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

          (iv)  The institutions at which the Certificate Account and  the
     Distribution Account are maintained shall invest funds as directed by the
     Master Servicer in Permitted Investments which in both cases shall mature
     not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the second
     Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date
     (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
     institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment
     shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such
     Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution
     Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that
     if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
     maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature
     not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold
     or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall
     be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
     Certificateholders.  All income and gain net of any losses realized from
     any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
     for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation  and all
     income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of
     funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of
     the Trustee. The amount of any Realized Losses in the Certificate Account
     in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the
     Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and the amount of any Realized
     Losses in the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall
     promptly be deposited by the Trustee into the Distribution Account.  All
     reinvestment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Distribution
     Account shall be for

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

     the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not
     be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
     or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account and made in
     accordance with this Section 3.5.

          (v)  The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller,
     each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location
     of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall
     give notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the
     Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution
     Account prior to any change thereof.

     SECTION 3.6  Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.

     (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative
of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for
the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer
to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable
law.

     (b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse
the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Sections 3.1 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance
premiums) and 3.9 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any
Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by
law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on
balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof. The
Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

     (c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section
3.6(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax,
premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master
Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances,
in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the
Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

     SECTION 3.7  Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans.

     The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable
access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all
accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement,
such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer.

     Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide
to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the
OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the
Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the
Master Servicer in providing such reports and access.

     SECTION 3.8  Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and
Distribution Account.

     (a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes:

          (i)    to the extent not previously retained by the Master Servicer,
     to pay to First Horizon the Retained Yield and to pay to the Master
     Servicer the master servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant
     to Section 3.14, and earnings on or investment income with respect to funds
     in or credited to the Certificate Account as additional servicing
     compensation;

          (ii)   to the extent not previously retained by the Master Servicer,
     to reimburse the Master Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such
     right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to
     amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such
     Advance was made;

          (iii)  to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
     previously made;

          (iv)   to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from the
     related Insurance Proceeds;

          (v)    to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing
     Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this
     clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts
     received on such Mortgage Loan(s) which represent late recoveries of the
     payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.1 or
     Section 3.6 and (b) for unpaid Master Servicing Fees as provided in Section
     3.11 hereof;

          (vi)   to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
     property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to
     Section 2.2, 2.3 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of
     such purchase;

          (vii)  to reimburse the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Depositor
     for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section
     6.3 hereof;

          (viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and
     not required to be deposited therein;

          (ix)   on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to
     withdraw an amount equal to the related Available Funds and the Trustee Fee
     for such Distribution Date and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit
     in the Distribution Account; and

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

          (x)    to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
     of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

     The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate Account
pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any
previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective
portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

     The Master Servicer shall distribute the Retained Yield, if any, to First
Horizon on each Distribution Account Deposit Date during the term of this
Agreement.

     (b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for
distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it
is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In
addition, the Trustee may prior to making the distribution pursuant to Section
4.2 from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for the
following purposes:

          (i)   to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
     Date;

          (ii)  to pay to itself earnings on or investment income with respect
     to funds in the Distribution Account;

          (iii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount
     deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited
     therein; and

          (iv)  to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination
     of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

     SECTION 3.9  Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of such
policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from
becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall
contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee
clause. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies
(other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining
any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their
benefit, be added to the

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the
Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer
out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to
the extent permitted by Section 3.8 hereof. 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 other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at
the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special
flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with
respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal
to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
(ii) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

     (b) In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy 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 sentence of this Section, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, 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 sentence of this Section, and there shall have
been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Master
Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf
of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

     (c) The Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which,
but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered thereunder.
The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary
Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the
Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is
maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

     The Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance
Policy (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less
than or equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new
appraisal, the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of
the new appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law.

     The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on
each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds.

     (d) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 3.10  Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject
to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to
the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale
clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under
applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such
enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required
Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not
required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be
conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or
Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Master Servicer
is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if
nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or
is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor
remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be
covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the
applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject to Section
3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies 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 Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not
be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law
from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

     (b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person
is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement
to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or
if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare
and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature
and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement
with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other
instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property
must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its underwriting
standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or
other agreement or instrument

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver
an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the
original 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. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation.

     SECTION 3.11  Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.

     The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall
follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and
as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and
meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in
any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If
the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master
Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the
Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other
site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer,
the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider
such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental
review procedures.

     With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or
its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be
placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not
in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to
such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Trustee's capacity thereunder. 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. The Master Servicer shall prepare
for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property
that has been

                                      -55-
<PAGE>

rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting
requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any,
from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later
than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall
perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of
the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting
required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the
Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in
the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.

     In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property
prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F
of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund
may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions
contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented
(or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of
income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any
terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or
local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under
Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed
to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of
any such taxes.

     In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor
is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no
withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are
required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.

     The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties,
net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including any
property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of
unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be
applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted
Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still
current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this
Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related
Mortgage Notes and

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. To the extent the net income
received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to
amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the
related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered
to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.

     The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income
from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any
unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Certificate Account for any
Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii) that related to such
Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance
has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the
Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.14.

     The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 91
days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the
Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit M hereto, 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.

     SECTION 3.12  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 will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the
Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for Release"
substantially in the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the
Trustee shall or shall cause the Custodian to promptly release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master
Servicer's direction execute and deliver to the Master Servicer the request for
reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or
such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the
Master Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related
Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under
any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy,
or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property
from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage
File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release
in the form of Exhibit L signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below,
the Master Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee or its Custodian when the need therefor by the Master
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the
proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate Account, in which case the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer.

     If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.

     SECTION 3.13  Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer
to be Held for the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and
instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any
funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the
Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account,
shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it
shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are
deposited in the Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow
Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security
interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by
legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File
or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except,
however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and
deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.14  Master Servicing Compensation.

     As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to
the Master Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate
Master Servicing Fee with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i)
by the amount of any Compensating Interest paid by the Master Servicer with
respect to such Distribution Date, and (ii) with respect to the first
Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the
Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and not so
deposited.

                                      -58-

     Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Retained Yield, Excess
Proceeds, Prepayment Interest Excess, and all income and gain net of any losses
realized from Permitted Investments and (ii) prepayment penalties, assumption
fees and late payment charges in each case under the circumstances and in the
manner set forth in the applicable Mortgage Note or Mortgage shall be retained
by the Master Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof; provided that in the event
the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the Retained Yield
shall be payable to First Horizon Home Loan Corporation in its individual
capacity and shall not be payable to the Trustee or any successor to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder (including
payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary Insurance Policy
and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this
Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.15  Access to Certain Documentation.

     The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinated Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during
normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer. Nothing
in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section.

     SECTION 3.16  Annual Statement as to Compliance.

     The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or
before 120 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year, commencing
with its 2000 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The
Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 3.17  Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Statement;
Financial Statements.

     On or before 120 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 2000 fiscal year, the Master Servicer at its expense shall
cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the
Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the
Depositor to the effect that-such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or
of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule
setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on
the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in
compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such
significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm,
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program
for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering
such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing
of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent
public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request
at the Master Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee.

     SECTION 3.18  Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.

     The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer under
this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as
Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers,
employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall, together,
comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons
performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event
that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall
obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer,
meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.

                               DISTRIBUTIONS AND
                        ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER

     SECTION 4.1  Advances.

     The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master Servicer
Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to the
definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to make an
Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date, either (i)
deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance or (ii) make
an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate Account that any
Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the Master Servicer in
discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any funds so applied shall
be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account no
later than the close of business on the next Master Servicer Advance Date. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account
for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in
Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan
shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated
and the related Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated.

                                      -60-

     Class Certificate Balance of the Accrual Certificates, as provided in
     Section 4.2(a)(i) above;

          (iii) to the Classes of Senior Certificates entitled to principal

     Available Funds: (1) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such
     Distribution Date, (2) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining
     undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (3) such Class's
     Allocable Share for such Distribution Date.

          (viii)  to the Class B-5 Certificates, to the extent of remaining

     On each Distribution Date, before distributions are made pursuant to the
following paragraph, an amount equal to the Accrual Amount for the Class A-12
Certificates will be distributed sequentially to the Class A-9 , Class A-10,
Class A-11 and Class A-12 Certificates, in that order, in reduction of their
Class Certificate Balances until their Class Certificate Balances have been
reduced to zero such that no such amounts will be distributed to any Class until
the Class Principal Balance of each such Class with a lower class designation
has been reduced to zero.

     (b) Amounts allocated to the Senior Certificates pursuant to Section
4.2(a)(iii) above will be distributed concurrently, as follows:

          (i)  to the Class A-19 Certificates, in an amount equal to the Class
     A-19 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, until the
     Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

          (ii) to the remaining Classes of Senior Certificates, an amount equal
     to the Senior Optimal Principal Amount less the Class A-19 Principal

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

     (c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holders
of the Class A-RU or Class A-RL Certificates any Available Funds remaining in
the related REMIC for such Distribution Date after application of all amounts
described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.2 on such Distribution Date.
Any distributions pursuant to this subsection (c) shall not reduce the Class
Certificate Balance of the Class A-RU and Class A-RL Certificates.

     (d) If on any Distribution Date the Class Certificate Balances of the
Subordinated Certificates have each been reduced to zero, the amount
distributable to the Senior Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii) for
such Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date shall be allocated
among such Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, on the basis of their
respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution
Date, regardless of the priorities and amounts set forth in Section 4.2(a)(iii).

     (e) If on any Distribution Date (i) the Class Certificate Balance of any
Class of Class B Certificates (other than the Class B-1 Certificates) for which
the related Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger was satisfied on such
Distribution Date is reduced to zero and (ii) amounts distributable to such
Class of Class B Certificates pursuant to clauses (2), (3) and (5) of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount remain undistributed on such Distribution
Date after all amounts otherwise distributable on such date pursuant to clauses
(v) through (ix) of Section 4.2(a) have been distributed, such amounts shall be
distributed on such Distribution Date to the remaining Classes of Subordinated
Certificates in order of priority, such that no such distribution shall be made
to any Class of Certificates while a prior such Class is outstanding.

     (f) In the event that in any calendar month the Master Servicer recovers an
amount (an "Unanticipated Recovery") in respect of principal of a Mortgage Loan
which had previously been allocated as a Realized Loss to any Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.4, on the Distribution Date in the next
succeeding calendar month the Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution
Account and distribute to the Holders of each outstanding Class to which such
Realized Loss had previously been allocated its share (determined as described
in the succeeding paragraph) of such Unanticipated Recovery in an amount not to
exceed the amount of such Realized Loss previously allocated to such Class.
When the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates has been reduced
to zero, the Holders of such Class shall not be entitled to any share of an
Unanticipated Recovery, and such Unanticipated Recovery shall be allocated among
all outstanding Classes of Certificates entitled thereto in accordance with the
preceding sentence, subject to the remainder of this subsection (f).  In the
event that (i) any Unanticipated Recovery remains undistributed in accordance
with the preceding sentence or (ii) the amount of an Unanticipated Recovery
exceeds the amount of the Realized Loss previously allocated to any outstanding
Classes with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, on the applicable
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute to the Holders of all outstanding
Classes of the related Certificates to which Realized Losses had previously been
allocated and not reimbursed their pro rata share (determined as described
below) of such excess in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of any
Realized Loss previously allocated to such Class with respect to any other
Mortgage Loan that has not been recovered in accordance with this subsection
(f).  Any distributions made pursuant to this subsection (f) shall not reduce
the Class Certificate Balance of the related Certificate.

     For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the share of an Unanticipated
Recovery allocable to any Class of Certificates with respect to a Mortgage Loan
shall be based on its pro rata share (in proportion to the Class Certificate
Balances thereof with respect to such Distribution Date) of the

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

principal portion of any such Realized Loss previously allocated with respect to
such Mortgage Loan (or Loans).

     SECTION 4.3  Method of Distribution.

     (a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8, all distributions with
respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made
pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class, based on the
Percentage Interest in such Class represented by each Certificate.  Payments to
the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will be made by the Trustee to
the Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check or money
order mailed to a Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate
Register, or upon written request by such Certificateholder to the Trustee made
not later than the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer to a U.S. depository
institution acceptable to the Trustee, or by such other means of payment as such
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree.

     (b) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to
the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures.  Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing
such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each
financial intermediary for which it acts as agent.  Each such financial
intermediary shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners
that it represents.  All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-
Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository
Participants in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Certificates.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

     (c) The Trustee shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts as it
reasonably determines are required by the Code (giving full effect to any
exemptions from withholding and related certifications required to be furnished
by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners and any reductions to withholding by
virtue of any bilateral tax treaties and any applicable certification required
to be furnished by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with respect
thereto) from distributions to be made to Non-U.S. Persons.  If the Trustee
reasonably determines that a more accurate determination of the amount required
to be withheld for a distribution can be made within a reasonable period after
the scheduled date for such distribution, it may hold such distribution in trust
for a Holder of a Residual Certificate until such determination can be made.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a "Non-U.S. Person" is (i) an individual
other than a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a partnership,
corporation or entity treated as a partnership or corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes not formed under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia (unless, in the case of a partnership,
Treasury regulations provide otherwise), (iii) any estate, the income of which
is not subject to U.S. federal income taxation, regardless of source, and (iv)
any trust, other than a trust that a court within the United States is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or
more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust.

<PAGE>

     (a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that
occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month.

     (b) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each
Realized Loss (other than any Excess Loss) shall be allocated in the following
order of priority:

               first, to the Class B-6 Certificates until the Class Certificate
          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               second, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the Class Certificate
          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               third, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the Class Certificate
          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class Certificate
          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Class Certificate
          Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               seventh, to the Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, in
          accordance with their Class Certificate Balances; provided, that any
          such loss allocated to the Accrual Certificates shall be allocated on
          the basis of the lesser of (x) the Class Certificate Balance thereof
          immediately prior to the applicable Distribution Date and (y) the
          Class Certificate Balance thereof on the Closing Date (as reduced by
          any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto).

     (c) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of any
Excess Loss (other than Excess Bankruptcy Losses attributable to Debt Service
Reductions) shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates, pro rata, based on
the respective Class Certificate Balances thereof; provided, that any such loss
allocated to the Accrual Certificates shall be allocated on the basis of the
lesser of (x) the Class Certificate Balance thereof immediately prior to the
applicable Distribution Date and (y) the Class Certificate Balance thereof on
the Closing Date (as reduced by any Realized Losses previously allocated
thereto).

     (d) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.4(b) or (c) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Balances.  Any allocation
of Realized Losses pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be accomplished by
reducing the Certificate Principal Balances of the related Certificates on the
related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.4(e).

     (e) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.4 shall be
allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which
such loss was incurred and (i) in

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions
made on such Distribution Date, and (ii) in the case of the interest portion
thereof, after giving effect to the calculation of the Accrual Amount for the
Class A-12 Certificates for such Distribution Date.

     (f) On each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the
Subordinated Certificate Writedown Amount, if any.  Any such Subordinated
Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect, without duplication of any other
provision in this Section 4.4 that provides for a reduction in the Class
Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, a corresponding reduction
in the Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, which
reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to
distributions made on such Distribution Date.

     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss
shall be made on a Distribution Date to a Class of Certificates to the extent
that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balances of all the Certificates as of such Distribution Date, after
giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on
such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date,
less any Deficient Valuations occurring on or prior to the Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date (such limitation, the "Loss Allocation Limitation").

     SECTION 4.5  [Reserved.]

     SECTION 4.6  Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.

     (a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and
cause to be forwarded by first class mail to each Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency a statement setting forth with

     Compensating Interest included in such distribution and any remaining Net
     Interest Shortfalls after giving effect to such distribution;

          (ii)  if the distribution to the Holders of such Class of Certificates
     is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if
     there were sufficient funds available therefor, the amount of the shortfall
     and the allocation thereof as between principal and interest;

          (iv) the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates after
     giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Distribution Date;

          (v) the Pool Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date;

          (vi)  the Senior Percentage and Subordinated Percentage for the

     foreclosure and delinquent (1) 1 to 30 days (2) 31 to 60 days (3) 61 to 90
     days and (4) 91 or more days, as of the close of business on the last day
     of the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date;

          (xi)  with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became an REO Property
     during the preceding calendar month, the loan number and Stated Principal
     Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the
     Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date and the date of
     acquisition thereof;

          (xii) the total number and principal balance of any REO Properties
     (and market value, if available) as of the close of business on the
     Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date;

          (xiii) the Senior Prepayment Percentage for the following Distribution
     Date;

          (xiv) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses incurred during the
     preceding calendar month;

          (xv) the cumulative amount of Realized Losses applied in reduction of
     the principal balance of each class of Certificates since the Closing Date;

          (xvi) the Special Hazard Loss Coverage Amount, the Fraud Loss Coverage
     Amount and the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount, in each case as of the
     related Determination Date; and

          (xvii) with respect to the second Distribution Date, the number and
     aggregate balance of any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans not delivered within
     thirty days after the Closing Date;

     (b) The Trustee's responsibility for disbursing the above information to
the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of the information provided by the Master Servicer.

     (c) On or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each
Prepayment Period (but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to
the related Distribution Date), the Master

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (which delivery may be by electronic data
transmission) a report in substantially the form set forth as Schedule IV
hereto.

     (d) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,
the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the
information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section
4.6 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the
Code as from time to time in effect.

     SECTION 4.7  Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.

     (a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates
are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British
Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits
in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on
each LIBOR Determination Date. Interest Settlement Rates currently are based on
rates quoted by sixteen BBA designated banks as being, in the view of such
banks, the offered rate at which deposits are being quoted to prime banks in the
London interbank market. Such Interest Settlement Rates are calculated by
eliminating the four highest rates and the four lowest rates, averaging the
eight remaining rates, carrying the result (expressed as a percentage) out to
six decimal places, and rounding to five decimal places.  "Telerate Page 3750"
means the display page currently so designated on the Bridge Telerate Service
(formerly the Dow Jones Markets) (or such other page as may replace that page on
that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices.)

     (b) If LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in paragraph (A) of this
Section 4.07, the Trustee shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform
the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal London office for making
one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks in the London interbank
market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest Determination Date or
(ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations
that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the
International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording,
Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available.
LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on
each interest Determination Date as follows:

           (i) If on any interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks
     provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period
     shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such
     arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of
     1/32%).

          (ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
     Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
     Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
     determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve
     Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per annum
     which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded
     upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-
     month United States dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected
     by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

     Interest Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least
     two of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of
     the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can
     determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States
     dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
     quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European banks.

          (iii)  If on any interest Determination Date the trustee is required
     but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided
     in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding
     Interest Determination Date.

     Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at
all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining
LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The Master Servicer
initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank" shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business in
London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such
or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank,
the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference
Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for
(i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or
(ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

     (c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the
Preliminary Statement.

     In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
(whether written, oral or on the Dow Jones Markets) from the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest
Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from
time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any
Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of
determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-
faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such
arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07.

     The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

     SECTION 4.8  Principal Distributions on the Retail Certificates.

     (a) Except as provided in subsections (d) and (f) below, on each
Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of a Class of Retail Certificates are made, such distributions
will be made in the following order of priority:

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

     (i)  first, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by the
          personal representative of a Deceased Holder of such Class of
          Certificates, a surviving tenant by the entirety, a surviving joint
          tenant, a surviving tenant in common or such other Person empowered to
          act on behalf of such Deceased Holder upon his or her death, in an
          amount up to but not exceeding $100,000 per request; and

     (ii) second, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by a Living
          Holder of such Class of Certificates, in an amount up to but not
          exceeding $10,000 per request.

     Thereafter, distributions in respect of such Class of Certificates
submitted on behalf of each Deceased Holder will be made as provided in clause
(i) above up to a second $100,000 per request and distributions in respect of
such Class of Certificates submitted on behalf of each Living Holder will be
made as provided in clause (ii) above up to a second $10,000 per request.  This
sequence of priorities will be repeated until all such requests have been
honored to the extent of amounts available for distribution in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Retail Certificates.

     Principal Distribution Requests presented on behalf of Deceased Holders in
accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above will be accepted in the order
of their receipt by the Depository. Principal Distribution Requests presented in
accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be accepted in the
order of their receipt by the Depository after all requests presented in
accordance with clause (i) have been honored.  All Principal Distribution
Requests with respect to any Distribution Date shall be made in accordance with
Section 4.8(c) below and must be received by the Depository no later than the
close of business on the related Record Date.  Principal Distribution Requests
that are received by the Depository after the related Record Date and requests,
in either case, for distributions timely received but not accepted with respect
to any Distribution Date, will be treated as Principal Distribution Requests on
the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each succeeding Distribution Date
thereafter, until each such request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided in
Section 4.8(c).  Requests on behalf of Deceased Holders that are not so
withdrawn shall retain their order of priority, all in accordance with the
procedures of the Depository and the Trustee. Upon the transfer of beneficial
ownership of any Retail Certificate, any Principal Distribution Request
previously submitted with respect to such Certificate will be deemed to have
been withdrawn only upon the receipt by the Trustee of notification of such
withdrawal using a form required by the Depository.

     Principal Distribution Requests for a Class of Retail Certificates will be
applied, in the aggregate, in an amount equal to the portion of the Available
Funds distributable to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2, plus
any amounts available for distribution from the Rounding Account for such Class
pursuant to paragraph (e), provided that the aggregate distribution in reduction
                           --------
of the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Retail Certificates on any
Distribution Date shall be made in an integral multiple of $1,000, subject to
Section 4.8(f).

     (b) A "Deceased Holder" is a beneficial owner of a Retail Certificate who
was living at the time such interest was acquired and whose authorized personal
representative, surviving tenant by the entirety, surviving joint tenant or
surviving tenant in common or other Person empowered to act on behalf of such
beneficial owner upon his or her death, causes to be furnished to the Trustee a
certified copy of the death certificate of such Deceased Holder, evidence of
such  person's status as an authorized representative of the Deceased Holder,
such as surviving tenant (whether by the

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

entirety, joint tenancy or tenancy in common), which evidence shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee, and any additional evidence of death required by
and satisfactory to the Trustee and any tax waivers requested by the Trustee.
Retail Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint tenants
or tenants in common will be considered to be beneficially owned by a single
owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common
will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner, and any Retail
Certificates so beneficially owned will be eligible for priority with respect to
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificates, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 4.8. Retail
Certificates beneficially owned by a trust will be considered to be beneficially
owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such beneficiary's
beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's beneficiaries
collectively be deemed to be beneficial owners of a number of individual Retail
Certificates greater than the number of individual Retail Certificates of which
such trust is the beneficial owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust will
be deemed to be the death of a beneficial owner of the Retail Certificates
beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of such beneficiary's beneficial
interest in such trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant by the
entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy that is the beneficiary
of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the beneficiary of the trust. The
death of a person who, immediately prior to his or her death, was entitled to
substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in a Retail Certificate
will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner of such Certificate
regardless of the registration of ownership of such Certificate, if such
beneficial ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Trustee. The Trustee's decision regarding whether a Deceased Holder's beneficial
interest is substantial for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be
conclusive and binding. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in
typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee,
ownership under the applicable Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform Transfers
to Minors Act, as the case may be, and community property or other joint
ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interests shall
include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Retail
Certificate, and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as
interest and distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of
such Certificates payable with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be under
any duty to determine independently the occurrence of the death of any
beneficial owner. The Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to
it in establishing the eligibility of any beneficial owner to receive the
priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 4.8(a). Expenses incurred by the
Trustee in an effort to determine the beneficial ownership interest with respect
to any Principal Distribution Request presented on behalf of a Deceased Holder,
including, without limitation, attorneys fees, shall be paid by the Person
presenting such Principal Distribution Request.

     (c) Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Retail Certificates must be made by delivering a Principal
Distribution Request therefor to the Depository Participant or Indirect
Participant that maintains the account evidencing the beneficial owner's
interest in such Certificate.  Such Depository Participant or Indirect
Participant should in turn make the request of the Depository (or, in the case
of an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant should notify the related
Depository Participant of such request, which Depository Participant should make
the request of the Depository) on a form required by the Depository and provided
to the Depository Participant.  In the case of a request on behalf of a Deceased
Holder, a certified copy of the death certificate and any additional appropriate
evidence of death and any tax waivers must be forwarded to the Trustee under
separate cover.  Any such requests of Deceased Holders that are incomplete may
not be honored by the Trustee and, if not honored, will lose their priority and
must be resubmitted in proper form.  Upon receipt of such Principal Distribution

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

Request, the Depository will date and time stamp such request and forward such
request to the Trustee.  Such requests will be honored on any Distribution Date
only to the extent that they are received by the Depository on or before the
Record Date for such Distribution Date.  The Depository may establish such
procedures as it deems fair and equitable to establish the order of receipt of
requests for such distributions received by it on the same day.  Principal
Distribution Requests delivered to the Depository after the Record Date for a
particular Distribution Date and requests received in a timely manner but not
accepted with respect to a particular Distribution Date will be treated as
Principal Distribution Requests for the next succeeding Distribution Date and
each succeeding Distribution Date thereafter until each request is accepted or
is withdrawn as provided below.  In the case of Principal Distribution Requests
on behalf of Living Holders, the Depository will establish a new order of
priority for each Distribution Date.  This order will apply both to previously
unsatisfied Principal Distribution Requests and to newly submitted requests.  A
Principal Distribution Request submitted on behalf of a Living Holder who later
dies will become entitled to the priority of a newly submitted request on behalf
of a Deceased Holder upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth above for
requests of a Deceased Holder.  Such priority will be effective for each
subsequent Distribution Date if the Trustee has received a certified copy of the
death certificate for such Deceased Holder and any additional appropriate
evidence of death and any requested tax waivers by the last business day of the
preceding calendar month.  Each Principal Distribution Request submitted by a
beneficial owner of a Retail Certificate will be held by the Depository until
such request has been accepted or has been withdrawn in writing as provided
herein.  None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of Principal Distribution Requests or
Withdrawals (as defined below) of such requests by the Depository, a Depository
Participant or any Indirect Participant.

     In the event that any Principal Distribution Requests are rejected by the
Trustee for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.8, the
Trustee shall return such requests to the appropriate Depository Participant
with a copy to the Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such
rejection.

     The Trustee shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants
representing the Certificate Owners of Retail Certificates that have submitted
Principal Distribution Requests, together with the order of receipt and the
amounts of such requests.  The Trustee shall notify the Depository and the
appropriate Depository Participants as to which requests should be honored on
each Distribution Date.  Requests shall be honored by the Depository in
accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations,
described in this Section 4.8.  The exact procedures to be followed by the
Trustee and the Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and
limitations shall be those established from time to time by the Trustee or the
Depository, as the case may be.  The decisions of the Trustee and the Depository
concerning such matters shall be final and binding on all affected Persons.

     Any beneficial owner of a Retail Certificate that has made a Principal
Distribution Request may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the
Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains such beneficial
owner's account (each such withdrawal, a  "Withdrawal").  The Depository
Participant should forward the Withdrawal to the Depository on a form required
by the Depository.  In the event that such account is maintained by an Indirect
Participant, such Indirect Participant should notify the related Depository
Participant which in turn should forward the Withdrawal of such request, on a
form required by the Depository, to the Depository.  If such Withdrawal has not
been received by the Depository and forwarded to the Trustee on or before the

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the previously made Principal
Distribution Request will be irrevocable with respect to the making of
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificate on such Distribution Date.

     (d) To the extent, if any, that amounts available for distribution in
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Retail Certificates
on a Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.2 exceed the dollar amount of
Principal Distribution Requests that have been received in respect of such Class
of Certificates by the related Record Date, as provided in Section 4.8(c) above,
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates will be made by mandatory distributions on a Random Lot basis, in
integral multiples equal to $1,000, in reduction thereof without regard to
whether the related Certificate Owners have submitted Principal Distribution
Requests.  The Trustee shall notify the Depository of the aggregate amount of
the mandatory distribution by Random Lot in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates to be made on the next
Distribution Date.  The Depository shall then allocate such aggregate amount
among its Depository Participants on a Random Lot basis.  Each Depository
Participant and, in turn, each Indirect Participant, will then select, in
accordance with its own procedures, Retail Certificates of such Class from among
those held in its accounts to receive mandatory distributions in reduction of
the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates, such that the
total amount so selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such mandatory
distributions allocated to such Depository Participant by the Depository and to
such Indirect Participant by its related Depository Participant, as the case may
be.  Depository Participants and Indirect Participants that hold a Class of
Retail Certificates selected for mandatory distributions in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof should provide notice of such mandatory
distributions to the affected Certificate Owners.

     (e) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and maintain
with itself for each Class of Retail Certificates a segregated trust account
that is an Eligible Account, which shall be titled (x) in the case of the Class
A-13 Certificates: "Rounding Account, The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the
registered Holders of First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2001-2, Class A-13" and (y) in the case of the Class A-14 Certificates:
"Rounding Account, The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the registered Holders
of First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-2, Class A-14."
On the Closing Date, the Underwriter shall deposit with the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall deposit into each Rounding Account, cash in an amount equal to
$999.99.  Amounts held in a Rounding Account shall not be invested in any
investment which produces income.  Each Rounding Account will be included in the
Lower REMIC.

     On each Distribution Date on which a distribution is to be made in
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Retail Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.2, funds on deposit in the related Rounding Account shall
be, to the extent needed, withdrawn by the Trustee and applied to round upward
to an integral multiple of $1,000 the aggregate distribution in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance to be made thereon.  Rounding of such distribution
on a Class of Retail Certificates shall be accomplished, on the first such
Distribution Date, by withdrawing from the related Rounding Account the amount
of funds, if any, needed to round the amount otherwise available for such
distribution in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000.  On each succeeding
Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of a Class of Retail Certificates are to be made pursuant to
Section 4.2, the aggregate amount of such distributions allocable to such Class
of Certificates shall be applied first to repay any funds withdrawn from the

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

related Rounding Account and not previously repaid, and then the remainder of
such allocable amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded upward to the next
integral multiple of $1,000 and applied as distributions in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Retail Certificates; this process
shall continue on succeeding principal Distribution Dates prior to the earlier
to occur of the Cross-Over Date and the next Distribution Date after the
Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any Realized Loss is
allocated to such Class of Retail Certificates until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.  On the earliest of (1) the Cross-Over
Date, (2) the next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the
principal portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to a Class of Retail
Certificates and (3) the first Distribution Date after the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Retail Certificates has been reduced to zero, any
remaining amounts in the related Rounding Account shall be distributed to the
Holders of the Class A-RL Certificates.

     (f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Distribution Date coinciding with or after the earlier to occur of the Cross-
Over Date and the next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which
the principal portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to a Class of Retail
Certificates, all distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Retail Certificates will be made among the Holders and
Certificate Owners of such Class of Certificates, pro rata, based on their
Certificate Principal Balances, and will not be made in integral multiples of
$1,000 or pursuant to requested distributions or mandatory distributions by
Random Lot.

     (g) In the event that Definitive Certificates representing a Class of
Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.2(e) (other than Section
5.2(e)(z)), all requests for distributions or withdrawals of such requests
relating to such Class of Certificates must be submitted to the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall perform the functions described in Section 4.8(a) through (d)
using its own procedures, which procedures shall, to the extent practicable, be
consistent with the procedures described in Section 4.8(a) through (d).  In the
event that Definitive Certificates representing a Class of  Retail Certificates
are issued pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(z), all distributions of principal shall
be made pro rata in accordance with Section 4.8(f).


                                   ARTICLE V
                               THE CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 5.1  The Certificates.

     The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum
denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate
in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the
applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth
in the Preliminary Statement.

     Subject to Section 9.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has
so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance
of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000
or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

     The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.

     The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a
continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.

     SECTION 5.2  Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.

     (a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.6 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust
Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and 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. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

     At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency 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 registration
of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.

     All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.

     (b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such state

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit I (the "Transferor Certificate")
and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit J (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit K (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced
in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information
regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the
Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation
under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and
the Depositor, the Seller 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
federal and state laws.

     No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K),
to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such
transfer, (ii) in the case of a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate,
if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is
an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained
in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section
V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that
the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under PTCE 95-60 or
(iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan
or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of
any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan's or
arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust
Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee
of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void and of no effect.

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

     To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

     (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

          (ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered
     on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not
     register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to
     the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph
     (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a
     "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in
     the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

          (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
     Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
     any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
     any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in
     connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to
     Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the
     Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other
     Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
     Transferee.

          (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
     a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
     5.2(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
     purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
     a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
     5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
     all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
     Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
     liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
     Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.2(b) and this
     Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
     Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
     the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
     after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and
     either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
     entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
     Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
     became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
     Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and
     after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall
     be paid and delivered by the

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

     Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

          (v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
     receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
     compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
     Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
     who is not a Permitted Transferee.

     The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master
Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause
any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to
the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of,
or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.

     (d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred
to above in this Section 5.2 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense
of the parties to such transfers.

     (e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-
entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

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

     If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing at least 51% of the Class Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive,
fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class
of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall
be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of
certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to
be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

     SECTION 5.3  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them 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, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.3, 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 5.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.


     SECTION 5.4  Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as
provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 5.5  Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

     If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which
such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master
Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the
Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such
recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust
Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

     SECTION 5.6  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially
designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give
prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location
of any such office or agency.


                                  ARTICLE VI
                     THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER

     SECTION 6.1  Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.

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

     SECTION 6.2  Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.

     The Depositor and the Master Servicer will each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United
States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each 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, or any of the Mortgage Loans and
to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

     Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding
to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
of the Depositor 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 to service mortgage loans on behalf of,
FNMA or FHLMC.

                                      -81-

     SECTION 6.3  Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Master Servicer and Others.

     None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to 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 Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer
or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by
it herein or protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any such
Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the Seller, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Depositor, the Seller 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 Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Seller or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any
audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing
authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder.  None of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and
which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 6.4  Limitation on Resignation of 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 and receipt by
the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b)
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer shall
have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
obligations hereunder.

                                    DEFAULT

     SECTION 7.1  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 in the Certificate
     Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made under the
     terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for five
     days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have
     been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the
     Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not
     less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or

          (ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any
     material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
     the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially
     affects the rights of Certificateholders, which failure continues
     unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
     of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
     or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders
     of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced
     by the Certificates; provided, however, that the 60-day cure period shall
     not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery
     Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof;
     or

          (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
     having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or
     liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
     and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
     liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the 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
     receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
     of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
     Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Master
     Servicer; 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 commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
     reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
     creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

     If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (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 may, or at the direction of
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by the Master Servicer of
such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer hereunder,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee. The Trustee, in its capacity

                                      -83-
<PAGE>

as successor to the Master Servicer, shall thereupon make any Advance which the
Master Servicer failed to make subject to Section 4.1 hereof. 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. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer
to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. All expenses incurred in the transferring of the servicing
duties from the Master Servicer to a Successor Servicer shall be paid by the
Master Servicer, and if not paid by the Master Servicer, shall be paid from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account.

     Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late
collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the
notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which
such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i)
through (viii),and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder
the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities
hereunder.

     SECTION 7.2  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

     On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent
provided in Section 3.4, be the successor 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 to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.1. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled
to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or Distribution Account if
the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency 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.
Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and
FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at
least $10,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting
such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of
the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.3
hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.1),
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and
provided further that

                                      -84-
<PAGE>

each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.4 hereof, act in
such capacity as provided above. 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 the
Master Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in
performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by
the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in
delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

     Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice
to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its
service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the
Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.5.

     SECTION 7.3  Notification to Certificateholders.

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

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


                                  ARTICLE VII
                            CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 8.1  Duties of Trustee.

     The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In
case an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, 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 person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

     The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report,

                                      -85-
<PAGE>

document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to
conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that
the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected
instrument.

     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) unless an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the
     Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, the
     duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
     express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
     except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
     specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
     obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and 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 which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have
     been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising
     hereunder;

          (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 finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in
     ascertaining the pertinent facts;

          (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 Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
     of the Voting Rights of Certificates 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;

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

          (v) without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, the Trustee
     shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of
     this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing
     statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to
     see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or deposit or to any
     rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
     insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment,
     or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing
     with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
     other than from funds available in the Distribution Account (D) to confirm
     or

                                      -86-
<PAGE>

     verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer
     delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee
     to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
     parties.

     SECTION 8.2  Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1:

          (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
     acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
     Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
     bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
     been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee
     shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any
     signature of any such party or parties;

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

          (iii) the Trustee shall 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;

          (iv) 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 so to do by
     Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
     allocated to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that if the
     payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
     liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation
     is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not assured to the Trustee by the
     security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may
     require indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against such cost, expense or
     liability as a condition to taking any such action.  The reasonable expense
     of every such examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid
     by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Master Servicer upon demand from the
     Servicer's own funds.

          (v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
     perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
     accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
     misconduct or negligence on the part of such agent, accountant or attorney
     appointed by the Trustee with due care;

          (vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds
     or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
     duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it
     shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
     adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;

                                      -87-
<PAGE>

          (vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
     of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment
     security);

          (viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event
     of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
     written notice thereof and in the absence of such notice, the Trustee may
     conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default;

          (ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
     conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
     request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
     the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
     offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the
     Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
     therein or thereby;

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

          (xi) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
     respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers
     granted hereunder.

     SECTION 8.3  Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect
to the Trustee's execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or
the Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate
Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 8.4  Trustee May Own Certificates.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Trustee.

     SECTION 8.5  Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

     The Trustee, as compensation for its activities prior to making the
distributions pursuant to Section 4.2 hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw
from the Distribution Account on each

                                      -88-
<PAGE>

Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be
indemnified by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection
with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the
Certificates or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or
removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master
Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the
Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated
with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or
appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the
Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C)
printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive
Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be
entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred
by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, Tax
Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses.

     SECTION 8.6  Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

     The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to super-vision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would
not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current
ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time
as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.6 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association 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 8.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7 hereof. The entity serving
as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however,
that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 8.7  Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

     The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master
Servicer and each Rating Agency

                                      -89-
<PAGE>

not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to
Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor
trustee in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in
Section 8.6. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been
so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice or 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 8.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as 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, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy 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 by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set
to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the
Successor Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.8 hereof.

     SECTION 8.8  Successor Trustee.

     Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.7 hereof shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver 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
8.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.8, the

                                      -90-
<PAGE>

Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all
Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

     SECTION 8.9  Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof without the execution or filing of any
paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.

     SECTION 8.10  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note 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 and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, 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 to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make
such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.6 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.8.

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

          (i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section
     8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
     the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
     by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
     understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
     act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
     extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
     or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
     to the 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
     applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
     shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-
     trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

                                      -91-
<PAGE>

          (ii)  No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
     of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment
     shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee
     or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

          (iii)  The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
     any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

          (iv)  The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
     the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification
     to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

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

     SECTION 8.11  Tax Matters.

     It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is
to be made, as set forth in the preliminary statement shall constitute, and that
the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is
hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such
capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a
timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such

                                      -92-
<PAGE>

by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner

treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be
prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue

entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged

Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value
and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on
behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving
it.

     In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein,
the Depositor 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
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.

     In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of any REMIC as

                                      -93-
<PAGE>

defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC after
the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by
(i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement which breach was
caused by its negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the
case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their obligations under this
Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the
Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3
or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to
be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.8(b), any tax
allocable to the Lower REMIC shall be paid from Available Funds and any tax
allocable to the Upper REMIC shall be paid from amounts distributable on the
Lower REMIC Interests.

     SECTION 8.12  Periodic Filings.

     Pursuant to written instructions from the Depositor, the Trustee shall
prepare, execute and file all periodic reports required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in conformity with the terms of the "no-action" relief
granted by the SEC to issuers of asset-backed securities such as the
Certificates.  In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic
reports, the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall timely provide to the
Trustee all material information available to them which is required to be
included in such reports and not known to them to be in the possession of the
Trustee and such other information as the Trustee reasonably may request from
either of them and otherwise reasonably shall cooperate with the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare
or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own
negligence or willful misconduct.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                                  TERMINATION

     SECTION 9.1 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.

     Subject to Section 9.3, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to
the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the
Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the
Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the
applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value
of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by
two independent appraisers selected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the
Master Servicer and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan
related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (b) the later of (i) the
maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO
Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the
trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21
years from the death of the survivor of the

                                      -94-
<PAGE>

descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof, and (ii) the Latest
Possible Maturity Date. The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool
Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten
percent of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

     SECTION 9.2  Final Distribution on the Certificates.

     If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are
no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund
other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall
direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice
is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to
terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties.

     Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of
the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee
by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no
later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which
final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of
such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

     In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all
funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the
Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the
receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall
promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage
Loans.

     Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order
set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of
the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests,
with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as
to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof
plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in
the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and (ii) as to the Residual
Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution
Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application
pursuant to clause (i) above.

     In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the

                                      -95-
<PAGE>

Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders
to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice
all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate 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 a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year
after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the holders of each of the Class A-RU Certificates shall be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund, held for
distribution to such Certificateholders which remain subject hereto.

     SECTION 9.3  Additional Termination Requirements.

     (a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with
an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that
the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not (i)
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC as
defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

          (1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in
     the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.2, the Master
     Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense of the "tax matters
     person," shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of
     section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
     addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the
     Trustee or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified
     liquidation; and

          (2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of
     complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust
     Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in accordance with Section 9.1.

     (b) The Trustee as agent for any REMIC established hereunder hereby agrees
to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request
of the Master Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in
Section 9.3(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may
be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.

     (c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a
plan of complete liquidation.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SECTION 11.1  Amendment.

     This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter,
amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund),
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and
agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination
as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination
only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the
Depositor and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time
amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify,
eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary
or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the
Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final
redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of
the Code, provided that the Trustee have been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in
any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in
Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby 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 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, as
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the

                                      -97-
<PAGE>

Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

     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, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

     Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 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.

     Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii)
either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 11.1.

     SECTION 11.2  Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

     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 its expense, but only upon direction a
majority of the Certificateholders 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 (by facsimile or
otherwise) 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.

     SECTION 11.3  Governing Law.

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE

                                      -98-
<PAGE>

CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     SECTION 11.4  Intention of Parties.

     (a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor be, and be construed as,
absolute sales thereof to the Trustee.  It is, further, not the intention of the
parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof by the Seller to the
Depositor.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Seller, or if for any
other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement
within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and
(ii) the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans provided for in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller to the Depositor, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the
Mortgage Loans, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

     The Seller, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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, 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. The Seller shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Depositor for the benefit of
the Certificateholders.

     (b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, absolute
sales thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the
Trustee.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such
assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement
within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and
(ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an
assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute
the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

     The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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
Trust Fund, 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. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

     SECTION 11.5  Notices.

     (a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to
each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has actual
knowledge:

          Servicer, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two
          Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.

     SECTION 11.6  Severability of Provisions.

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


     SECTION 11.7  Assignment.

     SECTION 11.8  Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

     The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or 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 provided
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 or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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 being understood and intended, and being
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 or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the 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
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 11.8, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
