                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

     In order to transfer certain Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
as their interests may appear, and to facilitate the servicing of certain
Mortgage Loans by the Servicer, the Transferor, the Initial Servicer, the
Expected Successor Servicer and the Depositor are entering into this Agreement
with the Trustee. The Depositor is transferring the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
as their interests may appear, under this Agreement, pursuant to which eleven
classes of Certificates are being issued, denominated on the face thereof as
EQCC Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2001-2, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class X, Class R-I, Class R-II and
Class R-III, respectively, representing in the aggregate a 100% ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all payments and other collections thereon
received on and after December 1, 2001, the Cut-off Date (exclusive of any
amounts received on and after the Cut-off Date in respect of interest accrued
prior to the Cut-off Date and exclusive of any Prepayment Charges). As of the
Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate outstanding principal balance
of $10,368,314,218, the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 1 have an
aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1,997,030,001, the Mortgage Loans in

the Transferor to receive payments in respect of the Existing Advances and any
interest thereon, as three separate REMICs (as defined herein) for federal
income tax purposes. For federal income tax purposes the Class A Certificates
and the Class X Certificates represent beneficial interests in the "regular
interests" in REMIC III and the Class R-III Certificates represent the sole
class of "residual interest" in

REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R-II Certificates
represent the sole class of "residual interest" in REMIC II, and the Class R-I

all Prepayment Charges), (ii) the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans,
(iii) the related Mortgaged Properties, (iv) the Depositor's rights under all
insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained
by it, (v) all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the
Transfer Agreement, including the right to cause the Transferor to repurchase
the Mortgage Loans under certain circumstances, (vi) all right, title and
interest of the Depositor in each of the Accounts established and maintained
pursuant to Articles V and VI hereof and (vii) the interest of the Depositor in
            -----------------
any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi), including all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Accounts.

     (b)  Rights Determined by Agreement. The rights of the Holders and the
Certificate Insurer to receive payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans in
respect of the Certificates, and all ownership interests of the
Certificateholders in such payments, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

     (c)  Sale Intended; Backup Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention
of this Agreement that the transfer of the Depositor's right, title and interest
in and to the assets of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an
absolute sale by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and not a loan. If
the transfer of Mortgage Loans from the Transferor to the Depositor pursuant to
the Transfer Agreement is characterized as a pledge and not an absolute sale,
then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, as their
interests may appear, all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to
and under the obligations of the Transferor deemed to be secured by said pledge;
and it is the intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be
deemed to have granted and for such purposes the Depositor hereby grants, to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
as their interests may appear, a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the assets pledged to
the Depositor by the Transferor and the obligations of the Transferor to the
Depositor under the Transfer Agreement and that the Trustee shall be deemed to
be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest
granted to the Depositor. If the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other
assets of the Trust from the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer is characterized as a pledge, it
is the intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor

                                      -51-

<PAGE>

shall be deemed to have granted and for such purposes the Depositor hereby
grants, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer, as their interests may appear, a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under
the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage
Loans, all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the assets
described in Section 2.01(a), and all proceeds of any thereof, including all
             ---------------
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Accounts. If the trust
created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of
any Person in any Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall
continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the
collateral agent for the benefit of such Person. The Depositor shall file a
UCC-1 financing statement naming itself as debtor and the Trustee as secured
party with respect to the Trust Fund, with the Delaware Secretary of State, and
covenants to file all continuation statements necessary to keep such UCC-1
financing statement effective.

     (d)  UCC Article 9. In furtherance of the backup grant of security interest
provided for in Section 2.01(c), the Depositor hereby represents and warrants as
                ---------------
follows: (i) the Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the
Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person;
(ii) subject to Section 2.06 of this Agreement, all original executed copies of
                ------------
the documents included in each Mortgage File that constitute or evidence the
Mortgage Loans have been delivered to the Trustee; (iii) subject to Section 2.06
                                                                    ------------
of this Agreement, the Depositor has received written acknowledgment from the
Custodian that the Custodian is holding the Mortgage Files that constitute or
evidence the Mortgage Loans solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustee;
(iv) other than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans; (v) the Depositor
has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the
Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated; (vi) the
Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the
Depositor; (vii) the Depositor has in its possession all original copies of the
Mortgage Files that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans; (viii) the
Mortgage Files that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans do not have any
marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee; and (ix) each of the Mortgage
Notes is an "instrument" as such term is defined under, and governed by, Article
9 of the applicable UCC; and (x) to the extent this Agreement does not evidence
an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, this Agreement creates a
valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the
Mortgage Loans in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all
other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Depositor.

     Section 2.02.  Possession of Mortgage Files.
                    ----------------------------

     (a)  Upon the issuance of the Certificates, the ownership of each Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer.

delivered each Mortgage File to the Custodian.

     Section 2.03.  Books and Records.

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a
complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly
marked to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.

     Section 2.04.  Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
                    -----------------------------------

     (a)  Mortgage Files. Subject to Sections 2.04(b) and 2.06, the Depositor
                                     ----------------     ----
has delivered to the Trustee (which may be by delivery to the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) each of the documents listed in Exhibit A hereto for each
                                                       ---------
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee acknowledges that it will hold each Certificate
Insurance Policy in trust for the related Certificateholders.

     (b)  Delivery of Recorded Documents. The Depositor shall use its reasonable
efforts to promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian: (i) the original recorded Mortgage in those instances where a copy
thereof was delivered hereunder; (ii) the original recorded Assignment of
Mortgage to the Transferor or the applicable Originator, which, together with
any intervening assignments of Mortgage, evidences a complete chain of
assignment from the originator to the Transferor or the applicable Originator in
those instances where copies of such Assignments were delivered; and (iii) the
title insurance policy or assurance required in paragraph (4) of Exhibit A (to
                                                -------------    ---------
the extent so required). The Depositor shall, within five (5) Business Days
after the receipt thereof, and in any event, within twelve months after the
Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
each document described in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (5) on Exhibit A;
                                  --------------------------------    ---------
provided, however, that if a document described in the paragraph (2) or (5) on
--------  -------                                      --------------------
Exhibit A has not been returned from the appropriate public recording office,
---------
the Depositor shall deliver a certified copy of the Mortgage and a receipted
copy of the Assignment from the appropriate recording office prior to the
expiration of such twelve-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.04(b), the Depositor shall be deemed to have

satisfied its obligations to deliver a Mortgage or Assignment of Mortgage upon
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian a copy of such Mortgage or Assignment
of Mortgage, as applicable, certified by the public recording office to be a

shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Loan documents held by the Trustee or the Custodian
as to each Mortgage Loan are referred to herein as the "Mortgage File."

     (c)  Manufactured Housing Documents. The Transferor covenants and agrees to
take all action necessary or desirable under applicable state law to transfer
the benefits of the lien and security interest in each manufactured or mobile

time periods required by this Section 2.04.
                              ------------

     (d)  Recording of Assignments to Trustee. As promptly as practicable
following the occurrence of the Recordation Trigger, but in no event more than
90 days following the occurrence of the Recordation Trigger, the Transferor or
the Depositor shall at its own expense either (i) record in favor of the Trustee
each Assignment of Mortgage and each Reassignment of Assignment of Beneficial
Interest referred to in paragraphs (3) and (8) on Exhibit A attached hereto with
                        ----------------------    ---------
respect to all of the Mortgage Loans in the appropriate real property or other
records, or (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer to the effect
that recording is not required and no other action on the part of such Depositor

                                                                       -------
2.04 shall be accomplished by and at the expense of the Transferor. For purposes
----
of determining whether a signature is made on an instrument or document,
stapling of an attachment shall be a sufficient affixation to cause the
attachment to constitute part of the instrument or document.

     Section 2.05.  Repurchase of Foreclosure Restricted Loans.
                    ------------------------------------------

     The Transferor agrees that it will repurchase from the Trust Fund at the
purchase price specified in Section 2.06 herein any Foreclosure Restricted Loan
                            ------------
for which (i) it receives notice from the Servicer that title is about to be
taken to the related Mortgaged Property as REO Property on behalf of the Trust
Fund and (ii) the Foreclosure Balance of such Foreclosure Restricted Loan, when
added to the aggregate Foreclosure Balances as previously determined by the
Servicer for Foreclosure Restricted Loans that are currently held as REO
Property, exceed 0.75% of the then current aggregate tax basis of the assets of
the REMIC in which the Foreclosure Restricted Loan is held. The aggregate tax
basis of the assets of a REMIC for this purpose is the aggregate basis of all
the REMIC's assets as determined for purposes of the most recent Form 1066 (and
in the case of any period prior to the first filing of Form 1066, the aggregate
issue price of all interests issued by the REMIC), properly adjusted for
estimated changes to such basis. Any such purchase shall be accomplished as
provided in Section 2.06 hereof. The Trustee shall track the aggregate tax basis
            ------------
of the assets of REMIC I and the Foreclosure Balances of the Foreclosure
Restricted Loans that are held as REO Property. As used in this Section 2.05,
                                                                ------------
"Foreclosure Balance" shall mean, as of any date of determination, the
 -------------------
outstanding principal balance of a Foreclosure Restricted Loan (or, if greater,
the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property upon foreclosure). This
Section 2.05 shall be in effect from the Closing Date until June 30, 2004, and
------------
thereafter shall no longer have any force or effect.

     Section 2.06.  Acceptance by Trustee of the Trust Fund; Certain
                    ------------------------------------------------
Substitutions; Certification by Trustee.
---------------------------------------

     (a)  Trustee Review of Mortgage Files. The Trustee hereby acknowledges
receipt of the Trust Fund, and declares that it will hold the Mortgage Loans, as
well as any other assets delivered to it in trust, upon and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement for the

                                      -54-

<PAGE>

benefit of the Certificateholders, the Trustee as holder of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and REMIC II Regular Interests, and the Certificate Insurer, as their
interests may appear. The Trustee shall execute and deliver on the Closing Date
an initial certification, in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto of receipt by
                                                  ---------
it or by the Custodian on its behalf, for each Mortgage Loan of the items listed
in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (7) and (8) on Exhibit A hereto (other than any
   -------------------------------------    ---------
Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such
certification as not covered by such certification), and declares that it will
hold such documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto, as
well as any other assets delivered to it in trust, to the extent set forth
herein, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Trustee as holder of the
REMIC I Regular Interests and REMIC II Regular Interests, and the Certificate
Insurer, as their interests may appear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee is not required to certify as to (1) the chain of intervening
endorsements of a Mortgage Note, (2) the chain of intervening assignments of a
Mortgage to the Person executing the Assignment of Mortgage, or (3) as to
whether a copy of a Mortgage, an Assignment of Mortgage, or an intervening
assignment was certified by a Responsible Officer of the Transferor. The Trustee
agrees to review (or cause to be reviewed) each Mortgage File within 45 days
after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan, within 45 days after the receipt thereof by the Custodian) and to deliver
to the Transferor, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer an
interim certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 on or before
                                                     -----------
such date to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan
specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such
certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to
this Agreement are in its possession (other than those described in paragraphs
                                                                    ----------
(1)(ii), (6), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16) and (17) on Exhibit A hereto,
---------------------------------------------------------    ---------
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions, changes or
corrections shall not constitute physical alteration if properly initialed by
the Mortgagor) and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than items (i), (iv), (x), (xii), (xiii),
(xiv), (xv), (xvi), (xvii), (xviii) and (xix) of the definition of Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and not including any certification as to the current Mortgage
Interest Rate set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule) accurately reflects the
information set forth in the Mortgage File. The Trustee shall be under no duty
or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face. Within 375 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Servicer, the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer, and the Certificate Insurer a final certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
                   -----------
Files.

     (b)  Defective and Incomplete Mortgage Files; Remedies. If the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee during the process of reviewing the
Mortgage Files finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which
is not executed, has not been received, is unrelated to the Mortgage Loan
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not conform to the
requirements of Section 2.04 or Exhibit A hereto or substantively to the
                ------------    ---------
description thereof as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee, or
the Certificate Insurer, as applicable, shall promptly so notify the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Transferor, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, and the
Certificate Insurer. In performing any such review, such Person may

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

conclusively rely on the Transferor as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of such
Person's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the
documents listed in Exhibit A hereto (other than those described in paragraph
                    ---------                                       ---------
(1)(ii), 5(ii), (6) and (11) through 17 on Exhibit A) have been executed and
---------------------------------------    ---------
received and relate to the Mortgage Files identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. Each of the Transferor and the Depositor shall use reasonable efforts
to cause to be remedied any material defect in a document constituting part of a
Mortgage File of which it is so notified by the Certificate Insurer or the
Trustee. If, however, within 60 days after the earliest of receipt by it of the
final certification referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 or after
                                                         ------------
the Transferor's receipt of written notice of the defect or after the
Depositor's or the Transferor's discovery of the defect (or within 30 days after
the Closing Date, in the case of failure to deliver original Mortgage Notes),
the defect described in such final certification has not been remedied and such
defect materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificate Insurer, the
Transferor shall, on the third Business Day preceding the Distribution Date
immediately succeeding the end of such 60-day (or 30-day, in the case of failure
to deliver original Mortgage Notes) period (i) if within 2 years of the Closing
Date, substitute, or cause the Depositor to substitute, in lieu of such Mortgage
Loan, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 3.03 or (ii) purchase, or cause the Depositor to
                        ------------
purchase, such Mortgage Loan at a purchase price equal to the Principal Balance
of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest on such Principal Balance, computed at the Mortgage Interest Rate, net
of the applicable Servicing Fee if the Transferor is the Servicer, plus the
amount of any unreimbursed Interest Advances made with respect to such Mortgage
Loan out of funds on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to
Section 6.08, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal and
------------
Interest Account on the next succeeding Determination Date (after deducting
therefrom any amounts received in respect of such purchased Mortgage Loan or
Loans and held in the Principal and Interest Account for future distribution);
provided that if such defect caused such Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified
--------
mortgage" within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), such repurchase or, if
applicable, substitution shall occur within 75 days of the earlier of (i) the
delivery of the Trustee's interim certification or (ii) the Trustee's, the
Depositor's or the Transferor's discovery, or receipt of notice from the Trustee
or the Servicer of discovery, of such defect. It is understood that (i) a
failure of a Mortgage File to contain a Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit
as permitted by paragraph (1) on Exhibit A) or a Mortgage (with or without
                -------------    ---------
evidence of recording), or (ii) the inclusion in the Mortgage Pool of any
Mortgage Loan with a CLTV greater than 100% which also fails to meet the
requirement that it be "principally secured by an interest in real property"
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(a)(1), or (iii)
notwithstanding a lost note affidavit as permitted by paragraph (1) on Exhibit
                                                                       -------
A, the obligation under a Mortgage Note for which the original is not available
-
becomes unenforceable because another Person has another superior claim under
such Mortgage Note, or (iv) any other Mortgage File defect that causes the
related Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Code Section 860G(a)(3) materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, with respect
to a defect or failure of delivery of any other document required to be included
in a Mortgage File, such defect or non delivery shall not give rise to any
obligation to purchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan unless and until (1)
such defect or failure of delivery shall have had a material and adverse effect
on the interests of the

                                      -56-

<PAGE>

Trustee or Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in the related Mortgage
Loan (a "Material Defect") and (2) a Mortgage Loan Loss shall have occurred with
         ---------------
respect to that Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure on the related Mortgaged Property
is rendered impossible. In the event of a Mortgage Loan Loss on a Mortgage Loan
with respect to which a Material Defect shall have occurred, which Mortgage Loan
Loss is determined following liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan, it is
understood that the Transferor shall satisfy any repurchase obligation by
depositing the amount of a Mortgage Loan Loss into the Principal and Interest
Account on the next succeeding Determination Date (after deducting therefrom any
amounts received in respect of such liquidated Mortgage Loan or Loans and held
in the Principal and Interest Account for future distribution.

     (c)  Release of Deleted Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a
certification of a Responsible Officer of the Transferor confirming that a
substitution or purchase has taken place, and that amounts required to be
deposited into the Principal and Interest Account in connection with such
substitution or purchase pursuant to Section 2.06(b) have been deposited into
                                     ---------------
the Principal and Interest Account (which certification shall be in the form of
Exhibit B to the Custodial Agreement), the Trustee shall release to the Servicer
---------
for release to the Depositor or the Transferor, as appropriate, the related
Mortgage File and shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments
of transfer necessary to transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Depositor or the
Transferor.

     (d)  Review of Recorded Assignments. If recordation of any Assignment of
Mortgage is required hereunder after the occurrence of a Recordation Trigger,
the original of each such recorded Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered to
the Trustee or the Custodian within 10 days following the date on which it is
returned to the Depositor or the Transferor by the office with which such
Assignment of Mortgage was filed for recordation and, within 10 days following
receipt by the Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, of the recorded Assignment
of Mortgage, the Trustee shall review or shall cause the Custodian to review
such Assignment of Mortgage to confirm that such Assignment of Mortgage has been
recorded. Upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of the
recorded Assignment of Mortgage, such recorded Assignment of Mortgage shall
become part of the Mortgage File. The Trustee shall notify the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer of any defect in such
Assignment of Mortgage if it shall have actual knowledge of any such defect
based on such review. The Transferor or the Depositor shall have a period of 30
days following such notice to correct or cure such defect. In the event that the
Transferor or the Depositor fails to record an Assignment of Mortgage as herein
provided (which Assignment of Mortgage was required to be recorded) and the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall prepare
and file or shall cause the Custodian to prepare and file such Assignment of
Mortgage or Reassignment of Assignment of Beneficial Interest for recordation in
the appropriate real property or other records, and the Transferor and the
Depositor hereby appoint the Trustee and the Custodian as their attorney-in-fact
with full power and authority acting in their stead for the purpose of such
preparation, execution and recordation. Any expense incurred by the Trustee or
the Custodian not otherwise paid for by the Depositor or the Transferor as
required hereunder in connection with the preparation and recordation of such
Assignment of Mortgage shall be reimbursed to the Trustee or Custodian, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 12.05, without prejudice to any claim against
                        -------------
the Depositor and the Transferor pursuant to the preceding sentence.

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

     (a)  Tax Administration.

          (i) Elections will be made by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund
     to treat the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Principal and Interest
     Account and the right of the Transferor to receive amounts in respect of
     the Existing Advances and any interest thereon as three separate REMICs
     under the Code ("REMIC I," "REMIC II" and "REMIC III," respectively, and
     each, a "Trust REMIC"). Such elections will be made on Form 1066 or other
     appropriate federal tax or information return for each Trust REMIC for the
     taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
     Certificates are issued. The assets of REMIC I will consist of all of the
     assets constituting the Trust Fund other than (i) the Principal and
     Interest Account, (ii) the assets of REMIC II and REMIC III and (iii)
     amounts in respect of the Existing Advances and any payments of interest in
     respect of such Existing Advances, which are retained by the Transferor.
     REMIC I will issue classes of interests which will be the REMIC I Regular
     Interests (which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular
     interests" in REMIC I) and the Class R-I Certificates, which will be the
     sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I. The Trustee will hold the
     REMIC I Regular Interests in trust for the benefit of REMIC II. The assets
     of REMIC II will consist of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC II
     Distribution Account. REMIC II will issue classes of interests which will
     be the REMIC II Regular Interests (which will be uncertificated and will
     represent the "regular interests" in REMIC II) and the Class R-II
     Certificates, which will be the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC
     II. The Trustee will hold the REMIC II Regular Interests in trust for the
     benefit of REMIC III. The assets of REMIC III will consist of the REMIC II
     Regular Interests and the REMIC III Distribution Account. REMIC III will
     issue the REMIC III Regular Interests (which will represent the "regular
     interests" in REMIC III represented by the Class A and the Class X
     Certificates) and the Class R-III Certificates, which will be the sole
     class of "residual interests" in REMIC III. The Owner of the Class R-I,
     Class R-II or Class R-III Certificates, respectively, representing at any
     time the largest Percentage Interest in such Class shall be the Tax Matters
     Person with respect to the applicable Trust REMIC. Each holder of a Class
     R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificate, as a condition of ownership
     thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee to act as its agent and
     attorney-in fact to perform all duties of the Tax Matters Person. The
     "latest possible maturity date" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
     Section 1.860G-1(a)(4) of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II
     Regular Interests and the REMIC III Regular Interests shall be the Final
     Scheduled Distribution Date. Any amounts in respect of Existing Advances or
     in respect of interest on Existing Advances shall not be an asset of REMIC
     I, REMIC II, or REMIC III. Rather, the right to such amounts will be
     retained by the Transferor.

                                      -58-

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

          (iii) Except as provided in Section 12.05, the Trustee shall pay (and
                                      -------------
     shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof by the Servicer or otherwise in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement) the ordinary and usual
     expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of tax
     information reports and returns that are incurred by it in the ordinary
     course of its administration of its tax-related duties under this
     Agreement, but extraordinary or unusual expenses, costs or liabilities
     incurred in connection with its tax-related duties under this Agreement,
     including without limitation any expenses, costs or liabilities associated
     with audits, required independent opinions regarding tax methodology and
     related matters or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect
     to each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
     authorities, shall be expenses of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 6.05.
                                                                  ------------

          (iv)  The Trustee shall prepare and file all of the Trust REMICs'
     federal and state income or franchise tax and information returns. Except
     as provided in Section 12.05, the expenses of preparing and filing such
                    -------------
     returns shall be borne by the Trustee. The Servicer and the Depositor shall
     provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such information
     with respect to each Trust REMIC as is in their possession, which the
     Servicer or the Depositor has or have received or prepared by virtue of its
     activities as Servicer or Depositor hereunder and reasonably requested by
     the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection,
     and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in
     relying, on such information in the performance of its obligations
     hereunder.

          (v)   The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Fund and each
     Trust REMIC all tax reporting duties and other tax compliance duties that
     are the responsibility of a REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or
     other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any
     state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Trustee shall
     provide (i) to the Internal Revenue Service or other Persons (including,
     but not limited to, the transferor of any Residual Certificate to a
     Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired any Residual
     Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as
     is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of any
     Residual Certificate to any Disqualified Organization pursuant to Section
     860E(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and (ii) to the
     Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
     or REMIC Provisions. Each of the Depositor and the Servicer shall provide
     on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Trustee's
     request) to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to
     each Trust REMIC as is in its possession and reasonably requested in
     writing by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this
     subsection.

          (vi)  [Reserved]

          (vii) The Trustee and the Servicer shall perform their obligations
     under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with
     the status of each

                                      -59-

<PAGE>


     Trust REMIC as a REMIC or, as appropriate, shall adopt a plan of complete
     liquidation as provided in Section 11.02.
                                -------------


            (viii) The Trustee and the Servicer shall not take any action or
     cause any Trust REMIC to take any action, within their respective control
     and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement
     that, under the REMIC Provisions, could (i) endanger the status of any
     Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any
     Trust REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
     transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
     prohibited contributions as defined in Code Section 860G(d)) unless the
     Trustee has received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the
     party seeking to take such action) with respect to such action.

            (ix)   To the extent not paid pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
     Section 2.07, the Trustee shall pay when due any and all federal, state and
     ------------
     local taxes imposed on the applicable Trust REMIC or its assets or
     transactions, including, without limitation, "prohibited transaction"
     taxes, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, any tax on contributions
     imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any tax on "net income from
     foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code from the
     REMIC I Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account or the
     REMIC III Distribution Account pursuant to Section 6.02(ii)(E), and shall
                                                -------------------
     reimburse such amounts to the applicable Trust REMIC, from current or
     future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of any Class X
     Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05.
                              ------------

            (x)    The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain
     books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and
     on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
     herein, all amounts collected on the Mortgage Loans shall, for federal
     income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the
     Mortgage Loans (including interest on overdue interest) (other than
     additional interest at a penalty rate payable following a default). The
     books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of
     each Trust REMIC's investments to show that each Trust REMIC has complied
     with the REMIC Provisions.

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

            (xii)  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 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that
     the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the
     valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
     limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and
     projected cash flows of the Class A Certificates, the Class X Certificates
     and the Residual Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows
     on the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Servicer shall provide to the
     Trustee, promptly upon 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, and which
     the Servicer can reasonably be expected to provide. The Trustee is hereby
     directed to use

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

     any and all such information or data provided by the Depositor or the
     Servicer in the preparation of all federal and state income or franchise
     tax and information returns and reports for the Trust REMICs to
     Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor and the Servicer each
     hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims
     or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
     the Trustee pursuant to this Section that result from any failure of the
     Depositor or the Servicer to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate
     information or data to the Trustee (but not resulting from the methodology
     employed by the Trustee) required to be provided by the Depositor, the
     Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this paragraph, on a timely basis
     and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

            (xiii) The Trustee shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue
     Service, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, an application for a taxpayer
     identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or by any other
     permissible method. The Trustee, upon receipt from the Internal Revenue
     Service of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall
     promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Depositor. The Trustee shall
     prepare and file Form 8811 on behalf of REMIC III and shall designate from
     time to time an appropriate Person to respond to inquiries by or on behalf
     of Certificateholders for original issue discount and related information
     in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code.

            (xiv) To the extent required by the Trustee, the Servicer will
     engage an accounting firm to prepare the necessary tax filings required by
     the Trustee under this Section 2.07(a).
                            ---------------

     The Trustee agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it are
to be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best
reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers,
employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose,
without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such
information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes
contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the
prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally
available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section) or
is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

     (b) Modifications of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall permit
any modification of, or take any action with respect to, the Mortgage Loans that
would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer (except as permitted by Section
                                                                       -------
5.11) or forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection
-----
with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan), extend the final maturity
date or modify any other material term of the Mortgage Loan, unless (A) the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in
the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable or (B) (i) such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence would not be considered to constitute
the acquisition by REMIC I of a new mortgage loan under Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(b), and (ii) the Trustee or the Servicer has received a
Nondisqualification Opinion or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (at
the expense of the party making the request of the Servicer or the Trustee to
modify the Mortgage Loans) to the

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

same effect as a Nondisqualification Opinion with respect to such modification.
In addition, prior to taking any such action that would lower the Mortgage
Interest Rate or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer must obtain the consent of the Certificate Insurer; provided that such
consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Certificate Insurer shall not
have responded to the Servicer within five Business Days after receipt of the
Servicer's written request for such consent.

     (c) Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Trustee shall not permit
the sale, disposition (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or
insolvency of any Trust REMIC or (ii) the termination of any Trust REMIC in a
"qualified liquidation" as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code) or
substitution of the Mortgage Loans (except a substitution pursuant to Sections
                                                                      --------
2.06(b) or 3.03) or the substitution of a property for a Mortgaged Property, nor
-------    -----
acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property or a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.06(b) or 3.03), nor accept any
                                     ----------------    -----
contributions to any Trust REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the
3-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion
of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting the Trustee to take such
action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or
acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a
REMIC or of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests or the
REMIC III Regular Interests represented by the Class A Certificates and the
Class X Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to any Trust REMIC (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any Trust REMIC to be
subject to an unindemnified tax on "prohibited transactions" or "prohibited
contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

     (d) Prohibited Transactions. In the event that any tax is imposed on
"prohibited transactions" of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of any Trust REMIC as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC
after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of
or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, which breach constitutes negligence or intentional or willful
misconduct of the Trustee or (ii) the Servicer, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, which breach constitutes negligence or willful misconduct by the
Servicer, or (iii) by the Depositor, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Depositor of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

     (e) Interpretation of Agreement. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this
Agreement or in the administration of a Trust REMIC shall be resolved in a
manner that preserves the validity of the elections to be treated as three
separate REMICs.

     The Trustee acknowledges (i) the assignment to it of Mortgage Loans in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, as
their interests may appear, and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and (ii) the delivery of the Mortgage Files as set forth above and,
concurrently with such delivery, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans, the

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

Mortgage Files and the other assets conveyed by the Depositor pursuant to
Section 2.01 and Section 2.04, the Trustee has executed the Certificates and
------------     ------------
caused the Certificates to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, each in Authorized Denominations.

     Section 2.09. Application of Principal and Interest.
                   -------------------------------------

     In the event that Net Liquidation Proceeds on a Liquidated Mortgage Loan
are less than the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest
thereon, or any Mortgagor makes a partial payment of any Monthly Payment due on
a Mortgage Loan, such Net Liquidation Proceeds or partial payment shall be
applied to payment of the related Mortgage Note as provided therein, and such
collections shall be allocated as provided in Section 5.01(h).
                                              ---------------

     (a)    Organization, Authorization; Enforceability. The Servicer is duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it was formed, and has all licenses necessary to carry on
its business as it is now being conducted, and is licensed, qualified and in
good standing in each Mortgaged Property State if the laws of such state require
licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted by
the Servicer and perform its obligations as Servicer hereunder; the Servicer has
the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Basic
Document to which it is a party and to perform in accordance therewith; the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents to

it is a party) by the Servicer and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary
action; each of this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which it is a party is
the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Servicer; and all requisite
action has been taken by the Servicer to make this Agreement and each Basic
Document to which it is a party valid, binding and enforceable upon the Servicer
in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other, similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally or the application of equitable principles in any
proceeding, whether at law or in equity.

     (b)    Actions, Consents and Approvals. All actions, approvals, consents,
waivers, exemptions, variances, franchises, orders, permits, authorizations,
rights and licenses required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be,

<PAGE>

governmental authority or agency (other than any such actions, approvals, etc.
under any state securities laws, real estate syndication or "Blue Sky" statutes,
as to which the Servicer makes no such representation or warranty), that are
necessary in connection with the performance by the Servicer of its obligations
hereunder or under the Basic Documents to which it is a party or (in the case of
the Initial Servicer only) the purchase and sale of the Certificates, and the
execution and delivery by the Servicer of the documents to which it is a party,
have been duly taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, are in full force
and effect, are not subject to any pending proceedings or appeals
(administrative, judicial or otherwise) and either the time within which any
appeal from any previous action may be taken or review thereof may be obtained
has expired or no review thereof may be obtained or appeal therefrom taken, and
are adequate to authorize the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the other documents on the part of
the Servicer and the performance by the Servicer of its obligations as the
Servicer under this Agreement and such of the other Basic Documents to which it
is a party.

     (c)    No Breach. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Basic Documents will not result in the breach of any
terms or provisions of the organizational documents or bylaws of the Servicer or
result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute
a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any
material agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other material
instrument to which the Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the
Servicer or its property is subject.

     (d)    No Misrepresentations or Omissions. The information in the
Prospectus describing the Initial Servicer and the Expected Successor Servicer,
respectively, does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Initial Servicer makes the foregoing representation only as to information
describing the Initial Servicer, and the Expected Successor Servicer makes the
foregoing representation only as to information describing the Expected
Successor Servicer.

     (e)    Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened, against the
Servicer which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in
any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Servicer or in any material impairment of the right
or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as it is now
conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer or which
would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or
any Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party or of any action taken or to
be taken in connection with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated
therein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the
Servicer to perform under the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document to
which it is a party.

     (f)    No Defaults. The Servicer is not in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences
that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or
operations of the Servicer or its properties or might have

                                      -64-

<PAGE>

consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance
hereunder or under the Basic Documents or under any Subservicing Agreement.

     (g)    Collection Practices. The collection practices used by the Servicer
with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been and will be in all
material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the non-conforming
mortgage origination and servicing business.

     (h)    Approved Seller/Servicer. The Servicer is an approved
seller/servicer of first and second mortgage loans for FNMA, in good standing,
and is an approved servicer of first and second mortgage loans for FHLMC, in

jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all licenses necessary to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good
standing in each Mortgaged Property State if the laws of such state require

Document to which the Depositor is a party valid, binding and enforceable upon
the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other, similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors rights generally or the application of equitable principles
in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity.

     (b)    Actions, Consents and Approvals. All actions, approvals, consents,
waivers, exemptions, variances, franchises, orders, permits, authorizations,
rights and licenses required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be,
by or from any federal, state or other governmental authority or agency (other
than any such actions, approvals, etc. under any state securities laws, real
estate syndication or "Blue Sky" statutes, as to which the Depositor makes no
such representation or warranty), that are necessary in connection with the
purchase and sale of the Certificates and the execution and delivery and
performance by the Depositor of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, have
been duly taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, are in full force and
effect, are not subject to any pending proceedings or appeals (administrative,
judicial or otherwise) and either the time within which any appeal from any

and the other Basic Documents on the part of the Depositor and

                                      -65-

<PAGE>

the performance by the Depositor of its obligations as Depositor under this
Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and such of the other Basic Documents to which
it is a party.

     (c)    No Breach. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Basic Documents will not result in the breach of any terms or
provisions of the bylaws of the Depositor or result in the breach of any term or
provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the
acceleration of any obligation under, any material agreement, indenture or loan
or credit agreement or other material instrument to which the Depositor or its
property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree to which the Depositor or its property is subject.

     (d)    No Misrepresentations or Omissions. None of this Agreement, any of
the Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party or the Prospectus, and no
statement, report or other document prepared by the Depositor and furnished or
to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement or the Basic Documents or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains any untrue
statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

     (e)    Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, threatened, against the
Depositor which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in
any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Depositor or in any material impairment of the right
or ability of the Depositor to carry on its business substantially as now
conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Depositor or which
would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Basic Documents
or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with
the obligations of the Depositor contemplated therein, or which would be likely
to impair materially the ability of the Depositor to perform under the terms of
this Agreement or the Basic Documents to which it is a party.

     (f)    No Defaults. The Depositor is not in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences
that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or
operations of the Depositor or its properties or might have consequences that
would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder or under the
Basic Documents to which it is a party.

     (g)    Title to Mortgage Loans Upon the receipt of each Mortgage File under
this Agreement, the Trustee will have good and indefeasible title on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to each Mortgage Loan (other
than any amounts received on and after the Cut-off Date in respect of interest
accrued prior to the Cut-off Date and other than Prepayment Charges) and such
other items conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder, free and clear
of any lien (other than liens which will be simultaneously released).

     (h)    No Bulk Transfer. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement are
not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in
effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

interest in any Mortgage Loan with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
its creditors.

     (j)    Solvency. The Depositor is solvent and the Depositor will not be
rendered insolvent as a result of the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trust Fund or the sale of any of the Certificates. There exist no asserted or,
to the Depositor's knowledge, threatened, claims against the Depositor which,
singly or together, should reasonably be expected to render the Depositor
insolvent. The Transferor is not aware of any facts which lead it to conclude
that the Depositor should reasonably be expected to become insolvent prior to
termination of this Agreement.

Articles THIRD, NINTH, TENTH and ELEVENTH of its Certificate of Incorporation
without the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Rating
Agencies.

would result in a downgrading of the Certificates by any Rating Agency or in a
downgrading of the "shadow rating" (that is, the rating without taking into
account any Certificate Insurance Policy) below investment grade by any Rating
Agency.

                   -----------------------------------------------------
Warranties as to the Individual Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Pool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to Section 2.01, the Depositor assigns to the Trustee (for the
                 ------------
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, as their
interests may appear) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Transfer Agreement including, without limitation, the representations and
warranties of the Transferor made to the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.01 of
the Transfer Agreement. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the
Trustee that the Depositor has taken no action which would cause such
representations and warranties of the Transferor to be false in any material
respect as of the Closing Date, and acknowledges that the Trustee relies on the
representations and warranties of the Depositor under this Agreement and of the
Transferor under the Transfer Agreement in accepting the Mortgage Loans and
executing and delivering the Certificates. The foregoing representation and
warranty speaks as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the transfer and
assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, as their interests may appear.

     The Depositor hereby represents and warrants as follows to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan as of the Closing Date (except as otherwise indicated); provided, that all
                                                             --------
references to percentages of the Mortgage Loans in this Section 3.02 refer in
                                                        ------------
each case to the percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans (or of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 1, Mortgage Loan Group 2,
Mortgage Loan Group 3, Mortgage Loan Group 4, Mortgage Loan Group 5, Mortgage
Loan Group 6 or Mortgage Loan Group 7, as applicable) as of the Cut-off Date
(rounded to two decimal points):

     (a) Mortgage Loan Schedules. The information with respect to each related
Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct.

                                      -67-

<PAGE>

     (b)    Delivery of Documents. All of the original or certified
documentation set forth in Section 2.04 (including all material documents
                           ------------
related thereto) has been or will be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) on the Closing Date or as otherwise provided in
Section 2.04.
------------

     (c)    Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan is being serviced by the Initial
Servicer.

     (d)    Mortgage Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan in Mortgage Loan Group
1, Mortgage Loan Group 2, Mortgage Loan Group 3, Mortgage Loan Group 4 and
Mortgage Loan Group 5 is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, and each Mortgage
Loan in Mortgage Loan Group 6 and Mortgage Loan Group 7 is a Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loan.

     (e)    Balloon Loans and Amortizing Loans. Mortgage Loans constituting
approximately 19.83% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 6 and
approximately 18.91% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 7 are balloon
loans which will provide for a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than
the preceding Monthly Payments. Less than 0.5% of the Mortgage Loans in each of
Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 are balloon loans. Approximately
19.74% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 6 and approximately 18.83%
of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 7, are balloon loans based on a
30-year amortization schedule. Approximately 0.08%, 0.26%, 2.56% and 16.94% of
the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 6, and approximately 0.11%, 0.10%,
2.44% and 16.27% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 7, provide for a
single payment of the remaining loan balances approximately 5, 7, 10, and 15
years, respectively, after origination. All of such balloon loans provide for
Monthly Payments based on an amortization schedule specified in the related
Mortgage Note and have a final balloon payment no earlier than 60 months
following origination and no later than 180 months following origination. Each
other Mortgage Note will provide for a schedule of substantially equal Monthly
Payments which are, if timely paid, sufficient to fully amortize the principal
balance of such Mortgage Note on or before its maturity date.

     (f)    Valid Lien; Mortgaged Property Types. Each Mortgage relating to a
Mortgage Loan is a valid and subsisting first or second lien on the Mortgaged
Property subject, in the case of any second Mortgage Loan, only to a First Lien
on such Mortgaged Property, and subject in all cases to the exceptions to title
set forth in the title insurance policy or the other evidence of title
enumerated in paragraph 4 of Exhibit A hereto, with respect to the related
              -----------    ---------
Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to first and second
lien mortgage lending companies, and such other exceptions to which similar
properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the
aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by such Mortgage.

            (i)    Each Mortgage Loan is principally secured by Mortgaged
     Property. Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family
     Residential Dwelling, which, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, does
     not include (A) cooperatives, (B) mobile homes other than permanently
     affixed mobile homes which constitute real property under state law, or (C)
     except for not more than approximately 0.33% of the Mortgage Loans in
     Mortgage Loan Group 1, approximately 0.20% of the Mortgage Loans in
     Mortgage Loan Group 2, approximately 0.12% of the Mortgage Loans in the
     Mortgage Loan Group 3,

                                      -68-

<PAGE>

     approximately 0.16% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 4,
     approximately 0.09% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 5,
     approximately 0.58% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 6, and
     approximately 0.88% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 7,
     manufactured housing units, as defined in the FNMA Selling Guide, which
     constitute other than real property under state law. Each manufactured home
     securing a Mortgage Loan is a "single family residence" as defined in
     Section 25(e)(10) of the Code that is used as a single family residence,
     has a minimum living space of 400 square feet and minimum width of 102
     inches and is of the kind customarily used at a fixed location; and

            (ii)   With respect to each Mortgage Loan involving property
     improved by a manufactured or mobile home, the Transferor or the related
     Originator has taken all action necessary to create a valid and perfected
     first or second priority (as reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien
     and security interest in such manufactured or mobile home and the related
     Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the filing of UCC
     financing statements or notations on certificates of title if necessary,
     under applicable state law.

     (g)    Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated, the Depositor held good and indefeasible title
to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan, subject to no liens, charges,
mortgages, encumbrances or rights of others (except any liens released
immediately prior to the Depositor's transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee); and immediately upon the transfer and assignment herein contemplated,
the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer, will hold good and indefeasible title, to, and be the sole owner of,
each Mortgage Loan (other than amounts collected on the Mortgage Loans in
respect of interest accrued prior to the Cut-off Date) subject to no liens,
charges, mortgages, encumbrances or rights of others.

     (h)    Delinquencies. Approximately 2.23% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage
Loan Group 1, approximately 2.27% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group
2, approximately 4.10% of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Loan Group 3,
approximately 9.86% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 4,
approximately 6.53% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 5,
approximately 10.82% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 6, and
approximately 7.27% of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 7, (excluding
Bankruptcy Loans) are 30 or more days contractually delinquent as of the close
of business on November 30, 2001; and none of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
Pool are more than 59 days contractually delinquent as of the close of business
on November 30, 2001. For purposes of this representation and warranty "30 or
more days contractually delinquent" means that a Monthly Payment due on a Due
Date was unpaid as of the end of the month of the next succeeding Due Date or
following Due Dates. As of the Closing Date, the Depositor does not know or have
reason to know of any facts or circumstances with respect to any Mortgagor or
Mortgage Loan that would indicate that foreclosure is likely to occur with
respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

     (i)    Delinquent Taxes; Good Repair. To the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, (i) there is no delinquent tax or assessment lien on any Mortgaged
Property that would

                                      -69-

<PAGE>

jeopardize the Depositor's enforcement of the lien of the applicable Mortgage,
and (ii) each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and is in average
repair.

     (j)     No Defenses. No Mortgage Loan is subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage,
or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto.

     (k)     No Mechanics' Liens. To the best of the Depositor's knowledge,
there is no mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which is or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien
of such Mortgage except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in Section 3.02(m) below.
                      ---------------

     (l)     Compliance with Laws. Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made
complied in all material respects with applicable state and federal laws and
regulations, including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws.

     (m)     Title Insurance. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, other than (i)
any Mortgage Loan secured by a second priority lien and having an original
Principal Balance not in excess of $50,000 and (ii) any Mortgage Loan with an
original Principal Balance not in excess of $50,000 which is secured by a first
priority Mortgage on a Mortgaged Property located in Oklahoma, a written
commitment for a lender's title insurance policy, issued in standard American
Land Title Association or California Land Title Association form, or other form
customary and acceptable in the related Mortgaged Property State, by a title
insurance company acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and authorized to transact
business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is situated,
together with a condominium endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least
equal to the original Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan insuring the
mortgagee's interest under the related Mortgage Loan as the holder of a valid
first or second mortgage lien of record on the real property described in the
Mortgage, subject only to (1) in the case of any second lien Mortgage Loan, a
First Lien on the same Mortgaged Property, (2) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of
the date of recording of the related Mortgage, such exceptions being set forth
in the title insurance policy or attorney's opinion of title and in the related
appraisal, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are
generally acceptable to banking institutions in connection with their regular
mortgage lending activities, and (3) such other exceptions to which similar
properties are commonly subject and which do not, individually or in the
aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by the related Mortgage, was effective on the date of the
origination of such Mortgage Loan, and, as of the Closing Date, such commitment
will be valid and thereafter the policy issued pursuant to such commitment shall
continue in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee or,
with respect to Mortgaged Properties located in jurisdictions in which it is
customary and acceptable to obtain an assurance of title in lieu of a title
insurance policy, such assurance of title has been obtained. No claims have been
made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage Loan has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair
the coverage of the mortgage title insurance policy.

                                      -70-

<PAGE>

     (n)     Hazard Insurance. The improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are
covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally
acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage representing
coverage described in Sections 5.07 and 5.08. All premiums thereon have been
                      ----------------------
paid. Each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
premiums at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure
to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement further
from the Mortgagor.

     (o)     Flood Insurance. A flood insurance policy is in effect with respect
to each Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount
representing coverage described in Section 5.07 or 5.08, if and to the extent
                                   --------------------
required by Section 5.07 or 5.08.
            --------------------

     (p)     Mortgage Documents Enforceable. Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note is
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof and is enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity or
at law), and all parties to each Mortgage Loan had full legal capacity to
execute all Mortgage Loan documents and convey the estate therein purported to
be conveyed.

     (q)     Enforcement of Insurance. The Depositor has directed the Servicer
to perform any and all acts required to be performed to preserve the rights and
remedies of the Trustee in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage
Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers,
assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of co-insured,

not been impaired, altered or modified in any material respect, except by a
written instrument which has been recorded or is in the process of being
recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Trustee, and which has
been or will be delivered to the Trustee. The substance of any such alteration
or modification is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Each
original Mortgage was recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the Assignment to the Trustee) have been recorded in the
appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the
lien thereof as against creditors of the Depositor (or, subject to Section 2.04
                                                                   ------------
hereof, are in the process of being recorded).

     (u)     No Release or Waiver. No instrument of release or waiver has been
executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, from his or her obligations under the related

any amount required by the Mortgage, except for interest accruing from the date
of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever
was earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest. With respect to Mortgaged Properties that
are the subject of a ground lease, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all
lease rents, and all other payments or assessments that have become due have
been paid and the Mortgagor is not in material default under any other
provisions of the lease and the lease is valid, in good standing and in full
force and effect.

no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently in process, and the
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended.

     (x)     No Encroachment. To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all of
the improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.

     (y)     Zoning. To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, no improvement
located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any
applicable zoning law or regulation. To the best of the Depositor's knowledge,
all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have

fully disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to make
future advances thereunder. Any and all requirements as to completion of any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in
making or closing or recording documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans were
paid.

     (aa)    No Other Collateral. The related Mortgage Note is not and has not

of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage,
and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Trustee to the trustee
under such deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Mortgagor.

     (ee)    No Shared Appreciation or Contingent Interest. No Mortgage Loan has
a shared appreciation feature or other contingent interest feature.

     (ff)    First Lien Payments. With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by
a second priority lien, the related First Lien requires equal monthly payments,
or if it bears an adjustable interest rate, the monthly payments for the related
First Lien may be adjusted not more frequently than once every six months. If
the related First Lien provides for negative amortization, the CLTV must be
calculated at the maximum principal balance of such First Lien that could result
upon application of such negative amortization feature. No notice of default
with respect to the related First Lien has been delivered to the Transferor that
has not been cured.

     (gg)    First Lien Consent. With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a
second priority lien, either (i) no consent for the Mortgage Loan was or is
required by the holder of the related First Lien or (ii) such consent has been
obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File.

     (hh)    Maturity of First Liens. The maturity date of each Mortgage Loan
secured by a second priority lien is prior to the maturity date of the related
First Lien if such First Lien provides for a balloon payment.

     (ii)    Licensing. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance
with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located, and (2)(A) organized under
the laws of such state, or (B) qualified to do business in such state, or (C)
federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices

     (jj)    Due-on-Sale Clauses. The Mortgage contains a customary provision
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan in the event the related security for the Mortgage Loan is sold
without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

     (kk)    Consolidation of Advances. Except for Existing Advances, any future
advances made to the Mortgagor prior to (and excluding) the Cut-off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Servicer to
make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.

     (ll)    Customary and Enforceable Provisions. The related Mortgage contains
customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the benefits of the security purported to be provided by the Mortgage,
including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure.
There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
materially interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage (subject to the applicable
federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and
rights of redemption) except as set forth in the Prospectus.

     (mm)    No Defaults. Except for bankruptcy-related defaults under the
Bankruptcy Loans and payment delinquencies described in Section 3.02(h), to the
                                                        ---------------
best of the Depositor's knowledge, there is no default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note,
and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration; and neither the Servicer nor the Depositor has waived any
such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

     (nn)    Due Execution. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

     (oo)    Payments Properly Deposited. All amounts received on and after the
Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be
deposited into the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.03 have
                                                              ------------
been so deposited.

     (pp)    Origination and Underwriting. Each Mortgage Loan was originated and
underwritten by, or purchased and re-underwritten by, the Transferor or by an
affiliate of the Transferor, provided, that, with respect to one segment of the
Mortgage Loans purchased by the Originators from a third-party, which segment
comprises approximately 12.83% of the Mortgage Loans, only a random sample of
approximately 10% of such purchased segment was re-underwritten by the
Transferor or by an Affiliate of the Transferor.

                                      -74-

     (rr)    No Adverse Selection. The Mortgage Loans were not selected by the
Originators, the Transferor or the Depositor for transfer to the Trustee (for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer) hereunder on
any basis intended to adversely affect the assets of the Trust.

     (ss)    Interior Inspections. A full interior inspection appraisal was
performed in connection with each Mortgaged Property; provided, that for certain
loans with Combined Loan-To-Value Ratios less than 85% and balances less than
$50,000, interior inspections may not have been performed.

     (tt)    Mortgage Interest Rate Ranges. The current Mortgage Interest Rate

     (uu)    HOEPA Loans. None of the Mortgage Loans in Mortgage Loan Group 1 or
Mortgage Loan Group 2 is subject to HOEPA. No more than 7% of the Mortgage Loans
in the aggregate, by unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, is
comprised of Mortgage Loans that are subject to HOEPA. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan in Mortgage Loan Group 3, Mortgage Loan Group 4, Mortgage Loan

HOEPA, all notices required to be delivered to the related Mortgagor pursuant to
HOEPA have been delivered, and all other requirements of HOEPA have been

                                      -75-

<PAGE>


complied with. Any breach of this representation shall be considered a Material
Breach for the purpose of Section 3.03.
                          ------------

     (vv)    Hazard Policies Enforceable. Each hazard insurance policy required
to be maintained under Section 5.07 of this Agreement with respect to such
Mortgage Loan is a valid, binding, enforceable and subsisting insurance policy
of its respective kind and is in full force and effect.

     (ww)    Leasehold Interests. If the Mortgaged Property consists of a
leasehold estate, the Mortgage covers property improvements and the Mortgagor's
leasehold interest in the land upon which such improvements are situated; at
origination of the Mortgage Loan the term of the leasehold estate was scheduled
to last for at least ten years beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage or
provided for perpetual renewal covenants; the leasehold estate is assignable by
the Mortgagee; and the lease is valid and in full force and effect.

     (xx)    Environmental Matters. To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, no
Mortgaged Property was, at origination, located within a one-mile radius of any
site with material environmental or hazardous waste risks.

     (yy)    Bankruptcy Loans. Approximately 4.18%, 7.97%, 5.73% and 7.11%,
respectively, of the Mortgage Loans in Group 4, Group 5, Group 6 and Group 7,
respectively, are Mortgage Loans as to which the related Mortgagor's payment
obligations under the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Plan. Except for the
Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit G-2, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge,
                         -----------
no other Mortgage Loan is subject to a Plan. None of the Mortgage Loans in Group
1, and no more than 0.01% of the Mortgage Loans in each of Group 2 and Group 3,
are subject to a Plan. Any breach of this representation shall be considered a
Material Breach for the purpose of Section 3.03.
                                   ------------

     (zz)    CLTVs. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the CLTV does not exceed
100%. To the extent there is no documentation evidencing an appraisal with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan was originated pursuant to a
program that required an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing the
Mortgage Loan that established a CLTV of less than 100%. In addition, no
Mortgage Loan has been modified since the date it was originated in a manner
that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of
any principal or interest, extend the final maturity date, or modify any other
material term of the Mortgage Loan unless such Mortgage Loan was delinquent or
in default at the time of such modification.

     (aaa)   REMIC Qualified Mortgages. Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. For
this purpose, Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be applied without regard to
the rule contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) which treats a
defective mortgage loan as a "qualified mortgage" under certain circumstances.
Accordingly, the Depositor represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan is
directly secured by a Mortgage on residential real property, and either (1)
substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire,
improve or protect such residential real property and such interest in
residential real property was the sole security for such Mortgage Loan as of the
Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in
real property which secures such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to

                                      -76-

<PAGE>

80% of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (a) as of the Testing Date or
(b) as of the Closing Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair
market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced
by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior
to the lien of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on
such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Mortgage Loan, and
(2) the "Testing Date" shall be the date on which the referenced Mortgage Loan
was originated unless (a) such Mortgage Loan was modified after the date of its
origination in a manner that would cause a "significant modification" of such
Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e),
and (b) such "significant modification" did not occur at a time when such
Mortgage Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Mortgage Loan
was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Mortgage Loan has been
subjected to a "significant modification" after the date of its origination and
at a time when such Mortgage Loan was not in default or when default with
respect to such Mortgage Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the "Testing Date"
shall be the date upon which the latest such "significant modification"
occurred.

     (bbb)   No more than 10% and no less than 90% of the aggregate Loan
Balances of all the Mortgage Loans measured by Cut-off Date Loan Balances relate
to Mortgage Loans originated or purchased under an Originator's "Limited
Documentation Program" and "Full Documentation Program," respectively.

     (ccc)   To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, no statement, report or
other document constituting a part of the Mortgage File contains any material
untrue statement of fact or omits to state a fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading which would, either individually or
in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders; no
error or omission, misrepresentations, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence
with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person,
including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan
or in the application for any insurance in relation to the Mortgage Loan.

     (ddd)   The origination and collection practices used by the Originator and
the Initial Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been
in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination
and servicing industry. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Initial
Servicer (directly or through a subservicer) and by any predecessor servicer in
accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. All interest rate and payment
adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note.

     (eee)   The Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit S are the only Mortgage Loans
                                          ---------
with respect to which a forbearance agreement or Mortgage Loan modification in
the nature of a forbearance agreement or an interest extension, pursuant to
which the final maturity date for the Mortgage Loan was extended in response to
delinquent payments, are currently in effect. The Initial Servicer entered into
each such forbearance agreement or modification in accordance with its normal
servicing policies (without reference to any provision permitting discretionary
waivers of the servicing policies). For each Mortgage Loan on Exhibit S, the
                                                              ---------
Mortgagor has made a scheduled payment (in accordance with the forbearance
agreement or modification) for at least three of the past four months. No such
forbearance agreement or modification rescheduled any

                                      -77-

<PAGE>

payments other than payments that were delinquent at the time such forbearance
agreement or modification was entered into. Any breach of this representation
shall be considered a Material Breach for the purpose of Section 3.03.
                                                         ------------

     (fff)   Exhibit V hereto identifies, among other things, each Mortgage Loan
             ---------
subject to a modification or forbearance agreement that (1) has been 30 days
contractually delinquent more than three times and/or 60 days contractually
delinquent two times or more since the date of the modification or forbearance
agreement, (2) has been 30 days contractually delinquent more than two times,
and/or 60 days contractually delinquent one time or more since the date of the
modification or forbearance agreement and for which the date of the modification
or forbearance agreement is on or after November 30, 2000, or (3) for which the
date of the modification or forbearance agreement is on or after April 30, 2001.
Any breach of this representation shall be considered a Material Breach for the
purpose of Section 3.03.
           ------------

     (ggg)   Transfer Agreement. The representations and warranties with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Pool set forth in Section 3.02(a) through
                                                     ---------------
(fff), inclusive, have been made to the Depositor by the Transferor pursuant to
Section 3.02(a) through (fff), inclusive, of the Transfer Agreement with respect
---------------
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Pool, and each of the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer is entitled to rely thereon.

     Section 3.03.  Purchase and Substitution.
                    -------------------------

     It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive transfer of the Mortgage Loans and
         ----------------------
delivery of the Certificates hereunder. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the
Servicer, any Subservicer, any Custodian, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer or the Certificate Insurer of a breach of any of such
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value
of Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the
NIMS Insurer or the Certificate Insurer (in the case of representations and
warranties made in Section 3.01), or which materially and adversely affects the
                   ------------
interests of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, or the Certificateholders in
the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty made in
Section 3.02 relating to a particular Mortgage Loan (notwithstanding that such
------------
representation and warranty was made to the Depositor's best knowledge, "breach"
for purposes of this Section shall be determined without regard to such
limitation), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the others (either of the foregoing, a "Material Breach"). Within 60 days of
                                           ---------------
the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any Material Breach,
the Transferor shall (a) promptly cure, or cause the Depositor to cure, such
Material Breach in all material respects, or (b) promptly purchase, or cause the
Depositor to purchase, such Mortgage Loan, in the manner and at the price
specified in Section 2.06(b), by depositing such price into the Principal and
             ---------------
Interest Account on the next succeeding Determination Date (after deducting
therefrom any amounts received in respect of such purchased Mortgage Loan or
Loans and held in the Principal and Interest Account for future distribution),
or (c) promptly substitute, or cause the Depositor to substitute, one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, provided such substitution is effected not
later than the date which is two years after the Closing Date. Any such
substitution shall be accompanied by payment of the Substitution Adjustment, if
any, to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account; provided that if
                                                            --------
such breach of a representation or warranty caused such Mortgage Loan not to be
a "qualified

                                      -78-

<PAGE>

mortgage" within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), such repurchase or, if
applicable, substitution shall occur within 75 days of the earlier of (i) the
delivery of the Trustee's interim certification or (ii) the Trustee's, the
Depositor's or the Transferor's discovery, or receipt of notice from the Trustee
or the Servicer of the discovery, of such defect. It is understood that (i) a
failure of a Mortgage File to contain a Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit
as permitted by paragraph (1) on Exhibit A) or a Mortgage (with or without
                                 ---------
evidence of recording), (ii) the inclusion in the Mortgage Pool of a Mortgage
Loan with a CLTV greater than 100% which also fails to meet the requirement that
it be "principally secured by an interest in real property" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(a)(1), or (iii) notwithstanding a lost note
affidavit as permitted by paragraph (1) on Exhibit A, the obligation under a
                                           ---------
Mortgage Note for which the original is not available becomes unenforceable
because another Person has another superior claim under such Mortgage Note, or
(iv) any other Mortgage File defect that causes the related Mortgage Loan not to
be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3)
constitutes a Material Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
(except as stated in the preceding sentence), a Material Breach shall not give
rise to an obligation to purchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan unless and
until a Mortgage Loan Loss is incurred on the related Mortgage Loan. It is
understood that the Transferor may satisfy any repurchase obligation with
respect to any Material Breach as to a Mortgage Loan for which a Mortgage Loan
Loss was determined following liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, by depositing
the amount of the related Mortgage Loan Loss into the Principal and Interest
Account on the next succeeding Determination Date (after deducting therefrom any
amounts received in respect of such liquidated Mortgage Loans and held in the
Principal and Interest Account for future distribution). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the breach of the representation and warranty in Section 3.02(uu),
Section 3.02(yy) or Section 3.02(eee) shall constitute a Material Breach, and
the related Mortgage Loan must be repurchased or substituted by no later than
the third Business Day following the 60/th/ day after the Transferor's receipt
of actual knowledge that such Mortgage Loan is subject to HOEPA or that such
representation was breached.

     As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans is substituted, the Transferor or the Depositor shall effect such
substitution by delivering to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee), a certification in the form of Exhibit B attached to the Custodial
                                         ---------
Agreement, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Depositor or the Transferor
(with a copy to the Trustee), and delivering to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) the documents constituting the Mortgage File for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. The Trustee or the Custodian shall
review the Mortgage Files for Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, and deliver
certifications reporting on such review, as described in Section 2.06(a).
                                                         ---------------

     The Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account all
payments received in connection with such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans after the date of such substitution; provided, however, that any amounts
                                           --------  -------
received after the date of substitution in respect of interest accrued on or
prior to the date of substitution on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
will constitute the property of the Depositor. Monthly Payments received with
respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans on or before the date of
substitution will be remitted by the Servicer to the Transferor or the
Depositor, as the case may be. The Trustee will own, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, all payments received on the
Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the date of substitution, and the Servicer
shall remit

                                      -79-

<PAGE>

to the Transferor or the Depositor as the case may be, all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor or the
Transferor shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Transferor and the
Certificate Insurer that such substitution has taken place and the Custodian
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor or the
----------------------
Transferor, as the case may be, will remit to the Servicer, and the Servicer
will deposit into the Principal and Interest Account, an amount equal to the
Substitution Adjustment, if any.

     It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor and the
Depositor set forth in Sections 2.06 and 3.03 to cure, purchase or substitute or
                       ----------------------
cause to be cured, purchased or substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan as
provided in Sections 2.06 and 3.03, constitute the sole remedies of the Trustee,
            ----------------------
the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in this Article III, except for any
                                                 -----------
guaranty of such obligations from a parent company of the Transferor.

     Any cause of action against the Depositor or the Transferor relating to or
arising out of a defect in a Mortgage File as contemplated by Section 2.06 or
                                                              ------------
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 or 3.02
                                                         ---------------------
shall arise as to any Mortgage Loan upon the occurrence of not less than all of
the following events: (i) discovery of such defect or breach by any party and
notice thereof to the Depositor or the Transferor or notice thereof by the
Depositor or the Transferor to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer, and the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Depositor or the Transferor to
cure or cause to be cured such defect or breach or purchase or substitute or
cause to be purchased or substituted such Mortgage Loan with the cure period
referred to above, and (iii) demand upon the Depositor or the Transferor by the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the Servicer for all amounts payable in
respect of such Mortgage Loan. The party delivering such notice shall also
deliver a copy thereof to the Certificate Insurer.

     The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to Moody's, S&P, Fitch, the
Certificate Insurer and to each Certificateholder of any repurchase or
substitution made pursuant to this Section 3.03 or Section 2.06(b).

     The Transferor made certain representations regarding the Prepayment
Charges in Section 4.29 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and agreed to a
remedy for breach of that representation in Section 8.5 of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement, and the Transferor hereby covenants that, if the Transferor sells the

     Section 3.05.  Indemnity for HOEPA Damages. In the event the Trust suffers
                    ---------------------------
any damages or liabilities as a result of a legal proceeding against the Trust
resulting from any violation of HOEPA with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is
subject to HOEPA, the Transferor shall indemnify the Trust for its actual
damages in respect of such proceeding, including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements, by depositing the amount of such actual damages, when finally
determined, into the REMIC III Distribution Account within the Collection
Account. The Trustee shall notify the Transferor immediately if any such claim
is made against the Trust under HOEPA, and the Transferor shall have the right
to assume the defense of such claim, using counsel of its own choosing
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, whereupon the
Transferor shall not be liable for any legal fees or disbursement of any counsel
other than the counsel selected by the Transferor.

Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and no Certificate Owner of a
Class A Certificate or Certificates shall receive a definitive Class A
Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Class A
Certificate, except as provided in Section 4.01(c). Unless and until definitive
                                   ---------------
fully registered Class A Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") shall have
                                            -----------------------
been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 4.01(c):
                                              --------------

               (i)    the provisions of this Section 4.01(b) shall be in full
                                             ---------------
          force and effect;


               (ii)   the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be
          entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this
          Agreement (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
          Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder)
          as the sole Holder of the Class A Certificates, and shall have no
          obligation to the Certificate Owners with respect thereto;

               (iii)  to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.01(b)
                                                                ---------------
          conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions
          of this Section 4.01(b) shall control;
                  ---------------

               (iv)   the rights of the Certificate Owners with respect to the
          Class A Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository
          and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
          between such Certificate Owners and the Depository and/or the
          Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are
          issued pursuant to Section 4.01(c), the initial Depository will make
                             ---------------
          book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
          transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Class A
          Certificates to such Depository Participants;

               (v)    whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be
          taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates
          evidencing a specified aggregate Percentage Interest, the Depository
          shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
          it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners
          and/or Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively,
          such required aggregate Percentage Interest of Class A Certificates
          (taking into account the proviso contained in the definition of
          "Certificateholder" contained herein) and has delivered such
          instructions to the Trustee; and

               (vi)   whenever a notice or other communication to the Class A
          Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until
          Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners
          pursuant to Section 4.01(c), the Trustee shall give all such notices
                      ---------------
          and communications specified herein to be given to Class A
          Certificateholders to the Depository and shall have no further
          obligation to the Certificate Owners of the Class A Certificates.

provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4.01(b) shall not be
--------  -------                              ---------------
applicable in respect of Class A Certificates issued to the Depositor. The
Depositor or the Trustee may set a record date for the purpose of determining
the identity of Holders of Class A Certificates entitled to vote or to consent
to any action by vote as provided in this Agreement.

          (c) Definitive Certificates. The Class X, Class R-I, Class R-II and
Class R-III Certificates shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.
With respect to the Class A

                                      -82-

Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Class A Certificates, and the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Depositor at its option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository; or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default, a Majority
in Aggregate Voting Interest (not including any portion thereof attributable to
the Class X Certificates) advise the Depository in writing that the continuation
of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests
of the Certificate Owners of the Class A Certificates, then the Depository shall
notify all Certificate Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten
Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trustee shall execute
and authenticate the Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions
of the Depository. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance
of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders.

applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and
laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class X, Class R-I, Class R-II or Class
R-III Certificate is to be made under this Section 4.02(b), either (i) the
                                           ---------------
Trustee shall be furnished an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to, and in form and
substance satisfactory to, the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer
shall be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor, from the Act or that such transfer is being made pursuant to
the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Transferor, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or the
Servicer, or (ii) the transferee shall execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 hereto, and the transferor shall
                             -----------
execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit M-3
                                                              -----------
hereto, certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the Transferor, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or the
Servicer, provided that such representation letters will not be required in
connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an
affiliate of the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Transferor,
the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer the NIMS

                                      -83-

if the prospective transferee of a Certificate provides the Trustee and the
Depositor with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4
                                                                 -----------
attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the Transferor, the Depositor or the Servicer, and which investment letter
states that, among other things, such transferee is a "qualified institutional
buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such transfers shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of Section 4.02(b) hereof; provided, however,
                                  ---------------
that no Transfer of any of the Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section
                                                                         -------
4.02(c) by the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
-------
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Transferor,
the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable
federal and state laws.

     (d)     Residual Certificate Transfer Restrictions. Each Person who has or
who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate must be deemed by
the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be
bound by the following provisions and to execute all instruments of transfer and
to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the
rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

            (2)     In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to
     it, and shall not register the Transfer of any such Residual Certificate
     until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and
                                                          ----------------------
     Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit M-1 from the proposed Certificate
     ---------                      -----------
     Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, representing
     and warranting, among other things, that such Certificate Transferee is a
     Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in
     such Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a
     nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
     Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in such
     Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
     and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 4.02(d) and agrees
                                                     ---------------
     to be bound by them.

            (3)     Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
     Agreement by a proposed Certificate Transferee under clause (2) above, if a
     Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed
     Certificate Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
     Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Certificate
     Transferee shall be effected.

                                      -84-

<PAGE>

            (4)     Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
     Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
     Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer
     its Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer
     its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate (attached hereto as
     Exhibit J) to the Trustee stating that, among other things, it has no
     actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

            (5)     The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
     Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
     Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been required by
     the terms of this Agreement as a condition to such registration. In
     addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the
     Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the Certificate
     Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Certificate
     Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-United States Person and is not a
     Disqualified Organization or an agent of either. Transfers of the Residual
     Certificates to Disqualified Non-United States Persons and Disqualified
     Organizations or their agents are prohibited.

            (6)     Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
     Section 4.02 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
                                                                      -------
     4.02, 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 notify the
     Depositor upon receipt of written notice or discovery by a Responsible
     Officer that the registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate was not
     in fact permitted by this Section 4.02. Knowledge shall not be imputed to
                               ------------
     the Trustee with respect to an impermissible transfer in the absence of
     such a written notice or discovery by a Responsible Officer. The Trustee
     shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer
     of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
                                                                     -------
     4.02 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 and Agreement. 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 Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such
     Certificate.

     (e)     Tax Information. The Trustee shall make available to the Internal
Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed as a result of the transfer of
an ownership interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof, including the information
regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificates required to be
provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5). The Trustee may
charge and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such
information as may be required from those Persons

                                      -85-

<PAGE>

which may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in this paragraph for
providing such information.

     (f)     ERISA Transfer Restrictions.

            (1)     Class A Certificates. No transfer of all or any portion of
                    --------------------
     the Class A Certificates may be made to a proposed transferee that is an
     employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual
     retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment
     funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements
     are invested, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
     Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or section 4975 of the Code
                              -------
     (collectively, an "ERISA Plan"), or any person directly or indirectly
                        -----------
     purchasing such Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
     of, or with assets, of an ERISA Plan (each together with an ERISA Plan, a
     "Plan Investor"), unless such Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA
      -------------
     Qualifying Underwriting and such Certificate is rated in one of the four
     highest generic rating categories at the time of such transfer. Each
     purchaser of such Certificate will be deemed to have represented to the
     Trustee and the Servicer, by virtue of its acquisition of such Certificate,
     either that (i) it is not a Plan Investor or (ii) (A) it is a Plan
     Investor, (B) the Class A Certificates have been the subject of an ERISA
     Qualifying Underwriting and (C) the Class A Certificates are rated in one
     of the four highest generic rating categories at the time of purchase.

            (2)     Class X and Residual Certificates. No transfer of a
                    ---------------------------------
     Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to a Plan Investor unless
     the prospective transferee of such Certificate provides the Servicer and
     the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at the prospective
     transferee's expense, an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the
     satisfaction of the Servicer and the Trustee that such transfer will not
     result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
     of the Code or cause the Servicer or the Trustee to be subject to any
     obligations in addition to those imposed by this Agreement. In the absence
     of their having received the certification of facts or Opinion of Counsel
     contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Trustee and the Servicer shall
     require the prospective transferee of any Certificate to certify in the
     form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-4 that it is not a Plan Investor or that
     it otherwise complies with the requirements of Exhibit M-2.

     (g)     Delivery of New Certificates. Subject to the restrictions set forth
in this Agreement, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a new Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest and
dated the date of authentication by the Trustee. At the option of the
Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of
Authorized Denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at such office. 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. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be

                                      -86-

<PAGE>

imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the
Trustee.

     Section 4.03.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
                    -------------------------------------------------

         If (i) 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 (ii) there is delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee
such security or indemnity, which may include a letter of indemnity delivered by
an insurance company reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Servicer, as
may be required by each of them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Servicer and the Trustee that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest, but
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 4.03, the Servicer and 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 connected
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall
                                                             ------------
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time.

     Section 4.04.  Persons Deemed Owners.
                    ----------------------

     Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 6.05
                                                                 ------------
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the
contrary.

                                   ARTICLE V

               ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

     Section 5.01.  Duties of the Servicer; Subservicing Arrangements.
                    -------------------------------------------------

     (a)     Standard of Care; Servicing Policy and Procedure. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer, in servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans, shall employ or cause to be employed
procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO Property management
procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises
in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, in accordance
with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions
servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans, and giving due
consideration to the Depositor's, the Certificate Insurer's, the Advancing
Party's, and the Certificateholders' reliance on the Servicer.

     In addition, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the Servicing Policy and Procedure and all Applicable Regulations. The
Servicer acknowledges that the Advancing Party, with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer (after consultation with the NIMS Insurer), may request
reasonable changes to improve performance (a "Requested

                                      -87-

<PAGE>

Change") to the Servicing Policy and Procedure from time to time. Such changes
shall only become effective forty-five (45) days after they have been proposed
to the Servicer, unless the Servicer reasonably objects in writing, in which
case the Advancing Party and the Servicer will cooperate in good faith to come
to an acceptable agreement with respect to such changes. If the change is one
that is not consistent with the FHLMC Single Family Seller/Servicer Guide, the
Servicer and the Advancing Party shall meet and determine the proper method and
reasonable manner to implement such change, and such a change shall not be
implemented without the written consent of the Certificate Insurer. The cost of
any such Requested Change shall be borne by the Advancing Party except as
provided below with respect to Required Changes. Changes to the Servicing Policy
and Procedure that are (1) required of all FHLMC servicers (not including
changes to provisions of the FHLMC Single Family Seller/Servicer Guide which
provisions are excluded from the Servicing Policy and Procedure), and which
changes reflect servicing practices generally undertaken by prudent servicers of
sub-prime mortgage loans, and which should not reasonably be expected to have a
negative effect on the Servicer's ability to meet Performance Standards, or (2)
required to comply with Applicable Regulations (each a "Required Change"), shall
be the sole responsibility of the Servicer and shall be implemented at its cost
and expense. If the Servicer fails to make a Required Change within forty-five
(45) days after request, that shall constitute a Servicer Default.

          (b)  REMIC Qualifications. It is intended that each Trust REMIC formed
hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be
conducted so as to qualify it as a REMIC as defined in and in accordance with
the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants
and agrees that it shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit
to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any
Trust REMIC.

          (c)  Subservicing Arrangements. The Servicer, as independent contract
servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer, with
the consent of the Certificate Insurer, may enter into Subservicing Agreements
for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any entity which is
in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its
obligations under such Subservicing Agreement and (x) has been designated an
approved Seller-Servicer by FHLMC or FNMA for first and second mortgage loans,
or (y) is an affiliate or wholly owned subsidiary of the Servicer. The Servicer
shall give notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer of
the appointment of any Subservicer other than a Subservicer which is an
affiliate or wholly-owned subsidiary of the Servicer. Any such Subservicing
Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement. The Servicer, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (after
consultation with the NIMS Insurer), shall be entitled to terminate any
Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage
Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which
qualifies hereunder.

               Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated

                                      -88-

<PAGE>

and primarily liable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Advancing Party, the
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administering 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 Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received
such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification or limit or modify indemnification provided by the Servicer
herein.

              Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such and not as an Originator shall be deemed to be between
the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Depositor, the Transferor, the
Trustee, the Advancing Party, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in the following paragraph.

              In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer (including by reason of a Servicer Default), the Trustee or its
designee or any Successor Servicer shall, subject to Section 10.02 hereof,
                                                     -------------
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each
Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the
Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement. If the Trustee or any
Successor Servicer elects to terminate a Subservicing Agreement, any expenses
incurred in connection with such termination shall be paid by the Servicer. If
the Trustee does not terminate a Subservicing Agreement, the Trustee, its
designee or the Successor Servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer
as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
Subservicing Agreements. The Servicer at its expense and without right of
reimbursement therefore, shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement
and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming
party. Each Subservicing Agreement shall contain provisions allowing the Trustee
or its designee or any Successor Servicer to assume the rights and obligations
of the Servicer, as provided in this paragraph, and allowing termination of the
subservicer without penalty or notice of more than 30 days by the Trustee or its
designee or any Successor Servicer.

         (d)  Waivers and Modifications of Mortgage Loans and Instruments of
Satisfaction. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing
Policy and Procedure, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any
Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such
term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or

                                      -89-

<PAGE>

indulgence would not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer, considering the alternatives otherwise available; provided,
                                                                       --------
however, that the Servicer shall have complied with Section 2.07(b) herein. No
-------                                             --------------
costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of any such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence shall, for the purposes of
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement. Any waivers,
modifications, postponements or indulgences pursuant to this Section shall be
consistent with the requirements of Section 5.11, if applicable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee, all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties, upon a payoff in full or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes. If reasonably required by the Servicer (as
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to such effect delivered
to the Trustee), the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. If the
Servicer errs and accepts less than the accurate full payoff or amount owing and
the Servicer prepares a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, or should
it otherwise prejudice any right the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon
written demand, shall deposit into the Principal and Interest Account the amount
by which an accurate full payoff amount exceeds the amount collected by the
Servicer, within one Business Day of its discovery or receipt of notice of such
error. The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity bond in accordance with Section
                                                                      -------
5.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Successor Servicer shall not be
----
responsible for errors in collecting full payoffs in reasonable reliance upon
erroneous information in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall limit the Servicer's
responsibility as a prudent servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to
ascertain the correct information once an error for such Mortgage Loan is
discovered or should have been discovered by the Servicer in the exercise of
ordinary care exercised by prudent sub-prime mortgage loan servicers. Nothing in
this paragraph shall prejudice the Servicer's discretion, and the Servicer shall
have the discretion, to effect a "short sale," i.e., releasing a Mortgaged
Property for less than the full payoff amount, if in the Servicer's reasonable
determination, such short sale would not have a material adverse effect on the
interests of the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in
such Mortgage Loan and is the best alternative for maximizing proceeds of the
Mortgage Loan, considering the alternatives otherwise available.

         (e)  Reimbursement of Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Servicer may reimburse the Advancing Party
for Servicing Advances (and may reimburse itself, in respect of Servicing
Advances made by the Servicer and not reimbursed by the Advancing Party)
pursuant to Section 5.04(ii) and Section 5.01(h).
            ---------------      --------------

         (f)  Trustee as Back-up Servicer. On and after such time as the Trustee
receives the resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its
rights and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to any resignation
pursuant to Section 9.04, after receipt of the Opinion of Counsel required
            ------------
pursuant to Section 9.04, a successor servicer selected by the
            ------------

                                      -90-

<PAGE>

Certificate Insurer, or if no successor servicer is so selected, the Trustee or
its designee shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer,
subject to Section 9.02 hereof. The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee
           ------------
but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the Trustee all documents and
records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected
and held by the Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the
assuming party.

         (g)  Tax Reporting by Servicer. The Servicer shall prepare, file and
furnish all information returns required to be provided under Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of Code in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property
and the REO Property.

         (h)  Allocation of Collections to Mortgage Loan Amounts. Unless
otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Note and/or Mortgage, the Servicer
shall apply collections in respect of any Mortgage Loan, other than Liquidation
Proceeds and Prepayment Charges, (1) first to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan (including interest on that Mortgage Loan in respect of which an
Interest Advance and/or a P&I Account Offset (out of Amounts Held for Future
Distribution) was remitted to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.08), and
                                                      ------------
interest paid ahead by instruction of a non-delinquent Mortgagor (including
amounts allocable to Servicing Fees but not including amounts described in
clause (6) below); (2) second to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan (by the amount of the scheduled principal payment for the next Due Date in
the case of a scheduled payment collection and by the amount of principal paid
ahead by instruction of a non-delinquent Mortgagor); (3) third to unreimbursed
Existing Advances and Servicing Advances owed to the Transferor and the
Advancing Party (and the Servicer); (4) fourth, to Ancillary Income; (5) fifth
to interest on Existing Advances and Servicing Advances owed to the Transferor
and the Advancing Party pursuant to the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and
(6) sixth, to any other applicable charges. Unless otherwise provided in the
related Mortgage Note and/or Mortgage, Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied
first to reimburse Interest Advances and P&I Account Offsets, Existing Advances
and Servicing Advances owed to the Transferor and the Advancing Party with
respect to the related Liquidated Mortgage Loan, second to reimburse Interest
Advances and Servicing Advances made by the Servicer but not previously
reimbursed by the Advancing Party or otherwise, and thereafter in the order
specified in the preceding sentence, but principal shall be paid until the
principal balance is reduced to zero, and no such Liquidation Proceeds shall be
applied to pay any interest on Existing Advances or Servicing Advances. All
amounts allocable to any item listed above shall be applied first to those items
that become due earliest and thereafter in chronological order (i.e., on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis).

         Servicing Fees paid out of interest collections on a Mortgage Loan
shall be applied to the unpaid Servicing Fee payments that became due in
connection with the interest payment that became due earliest first (i.e., on a
FIFO basis).

         Section 5.02.  Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.
                        -----------------------------

         In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not
postponed pursuant to Section 5.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and
                      ------------
payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any
applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it

                                      -91-

<PAGE>

shall deem in its good faith business judgment to be in the best interest of the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders and otherwise in
accordance with the Servicing Policy and Procedure and/or Performance Standards.
The Servicer, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10, shall foreclose
                                                   ------------
upon or otherwise comparably effect the change of ownership into the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Mortgaged Properties
relating to defaulted Mortgage Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments; provided, however, that the
                                                   --------  -------
Servicer shall not be obligated to foreclose or take comparable action in the
event that the Servicer, in its good faith reasonable business judgment,
determines that such action would not be in the best interests of the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise and use
collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and skill as
it would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own
affairs. Any amounts advanced by the Servicer in connection with such
foreclosure or other action shall constitute Servicing Advances.

         After a Mortgage Loan has become a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall promptly prepare and forward to the Depositor, the Advancing
Party, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer a Liquidation Report, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit O, detailing the Liquidation Proceeds received from
                   ---------
the Liquidated Mortgage Loan, expenses incurred with respect thereto, and any
loss incurred in connection therewith.

         Section 5.03.  Establishment of Principal and Interest Account;
                        -----------------------------------------------
Deposits in Principal and Interest Account.
------------------------------------------

         (a)  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer, as their interests may appear, shall cause to be
established and maintained one or more Principal and Interest Accounts in
accounts directed by the Advancing Party, and in the name of the Trustee, which
shall be Eligible Accounts, which may be interest-bearing, titled "The Bank of
New York as Trustee for EQCC Trust 2001-2, Principal and Interest Account,"
bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer. The Principal and Interest Accounts shall be insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund of the FDIC, as the
case may be, to the maximum extent provided by law. The creation of any
Principal and Interest Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the
form of Exhibit T hereto and a copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished
        -------
by the Servicer to the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer. The Servicer shall deposit into the Principal and Interest
Account (without duplication), within one Business Day of receipt of available
funds in respect thereof, and shall retain therein, the following items:

              (i)      all payments received on or after the Cut-off Date on
         account of principal on the Mortgage Loans and all Curtailments and
         Principal Prepayments collected on or after the Cut-off Date;

              (ii)     all payments received on or after the Cut-off Date on
         account of interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans on or after the
         Cut-off Date;

              (iii)    all Net Liquidation Proceeds;

                                      -92-

<PAGE>

              (iv)    all Insurance Proceeds;

              (v)     all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;

              (vi)    any amounts payable in connection with the purchase of any
         Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment, in each
         case pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 3.03; and
                          ----------------------

              (vii)   any amount required to be deposited in the Principal and
         Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.04, 5.07, 5.08 or 5.10.
                                      --------------------------------

         In making the deposits set forth in clauses (i) through (vii)
(inclusive) above, the Servicer shall note in its records the respective amounts
deposited with respect to Mortgage Loan Group 1, Mortgage Loan Group 2, Mortgage
Loan Group 3, Mortgage Loan Group 4, Mortgage Loan Group 5, Mortgage Loan Group
6 and Mortgage Loan Group 7. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and
agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, amounts received on and after the Cut-off Date in respect of
interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans prior to the Cut-off Date, the Servicing
Fee, Prepayment Charges and Ancillary Income, to the extent permitted by
Sections 7.01 and 7.03, and any amounts received after the date of substitution
-------------     ----
of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 3.03 in
                                                    ------------    ----
respect of interest accrued on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or
prior to the date of substitution (except to the extent taken into account in
calculating the Substitution Adjustment with respect thereto)) need not be
deposited by the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account, and interest on
the related Deleted Mortgage Loan accrued through such date shall be deposited
into the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall remit such amounts
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans to the Transferor, in each
case immediately upon receipt. The Servicer shall remit any Excluded Ancillary
Income to the Transferor within one Business Day of receipt of available funds
in respect thereof. In addition, upon receipt of a payment in full of a Mortgage
Loan by the related Mortgagor, in connection with which the Mortgagor pays the
full outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon, the amount of all previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Existing Advances made by the Advancing Party and the Transferor in respect
of such Mortgage Loan, plus interest on the amount of the related Servicing
Advances and Existing Advances, the Servicer shall withhold such interest
payments, and shall remit to the Advancing Party the amount of any such interest
paid on Servicing Advances, and shall remit to the Transferor the amount of any
such interest on Existing Advances.

         Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer shall be remitted to the
Transferor or the Transferor's designee or assignee, as separately agreed
between the Servicer and the owner of such Prepayment Charges.

         Amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account shall be
invested by the Servicer in Permitted Instruments as directed by the Advancing
Party. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest
Account shall be for the account of the Advancing Party, and the Servicer shall
remit such amounts to the Advancing Party within one Business Day after receipt
thereof or as otherwise arranged between the Servicer and the Advancing Party.

                                      -93-

<PAGE>

Any reference herein to amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account
shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.

         Payment of interest collected on Existing Advances and Servicing
Advances and investment earnings shall be governed by Section 5.15.
                                                      ------------

         (b)  Notwithstanding Section 5.03(a), for so long as EquiCredit is
                              --------------
acting as the Initial Servicer, and so long as the conditions set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below are met, but in no event after May 31, 2002,
the Servicer shall not be required to establish any separate Principal and
Interest Account as described in Section 5.03(a), and instead may cause to be
                                 --------------
maintained an account for deposit of the amounts described in Section 5.03(a),
                                                              --------------
which account is not required to be an Eligible Account or invested in Permitted
Instruments and may be a commingled account containing other Servicer funds, but
which account shall otherwise be a "Principal and Interest Account" for all
purposes of this Agreement to the extent of funds therein deposited pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. In the event EquiCredit as Initial Servicer
maintains the Principal and Interest Account in this manner, (i) the Servicer
shall maintain separate books and records with respect to allotments relating to
this Agreement that are deposited in such Principal and Interest Account and
shall separately account for all amounts relating to this Agreement that are
deposited or withdrawn from such account and (ii) amounts deposited in such
Principal and Interest Account may be used for any purposes; provided, that the
                                                             --------
Servicer shall cause all payments required to be made under this Agreement from
the Principal and Interest Account to be paid. No insurance by the FDIC, and no
letter agreement evidencing the creation of this account, shall be required.
EquiCredit's right as Servicer to make deposits into an account of the type
described in the preceding sentences shall exist only if the specific terms and
conditions set forth below are satisfied and only for so long as such terms and
conditions are satisfied:

              (i)    there exists no Servicer Default;

              (ii)   if EquiCredit does not have a short term debt rating of at
         least "A-1" from S&P and "P-1" from Moody's, a guaranty, letter of
         credit, surety bond or other similar instrument is issued covering
         remittance to the Collection Account of Collections received during any
         Due Period, which instrument is acceptable to the Rating Agencies and
         the Certificate Insurer and is issued by an entity which has a short-
         term debt or certificate of deposit rating, as applicable, of at least
         "A-1" from S&P and Fitch and "P-1" from Moody's; and

              (iii)  EquiCredit, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate
         Insurer shall not have received any notice from S&P, Moody's or Fitch
         that such arrangement will result in a reduction or withdrawal of the
         then current rating on the Certificates without regard to the
         Certificate Insurance Policies by either S&P, Moody's or Fitch.

         (c)  In the event that, prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, at any
time the conditions set forth in Section 5.03(b) are not satisfied, the Initial
                                 ---------------
Servicer shall forthwith cause to be established a Principal and Interest
Account meeting the requirements of Section 5.03, and the Initial Servicer shall
                                    ------------

         respect of interest on Existing Advances. Any such amounts shall not be

Account must be available for withdrawal without penalty, and any Permitted
Instruments must mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding

upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage guaranty
insurance premiums, if any, and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including
renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in any
escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer
in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the
Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments,
the Servicer shall monitor such payments to determine if they are made by the
Mortgagor at the time they become due and, if not paid by the Mortgagor, shall
advance such amounts as Servicing Advances, to the extent the Servicer
determines such amounts are Eligible Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section
                                                                     -------

Servicer has notice of such failure to pay, the Servicer shall advance such

         The Accounts (other than the Principal and Interest Account, which
shall be established pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof) shall be established, as
                                 ------------
of the Closing Date, in the name of the Trustee as Eligible Accounts pursuant to
clause (B) of the definition thereof. Any Account may, upon written notice from
the Servicer to the Trustee, be transferred to a different depository
institution so long as (i) such transfer (A) is to an Eligible Account and the
Certificate Insurer receives notice thereof from the Servicer and (B) is
approved in writing by the Certificate Insurer and (ii) written notice of such
transfer is sent to the Rating Agencies, the Advancing Party, the Transferor and
the Depositor. The Trustee shall provide to the Certificate Insurer a monthly
statement of activity in the Accounts established by it, and the Servicer shall
provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the Advancing Party, the

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

         The Servicer shall cause each Mortgagor to maintain, and if the
Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain, subject to the provisions
of Section 5.08 hereof, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage
   ------------
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
which is at least equal to the least of (a) the outstanding principal balance
owing on the Mortgage Loan (and any prior lien if the related Mortgage Loan is
in a junior lien position), (b) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged
Property securing the Mortgage Loan and (c) the minimum amount required to
compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If the Mortgaged
Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as Flood Zone "A," and such flood insurance has been
made available, the Servicer will cause to be purchased a flood insurance policy
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan (plus the principal balance of any lien having priority over the
Mortgage Loan), (ii) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property,

                                      -98-

<PAGE>

and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on REO
Property, to the extent reasonably available, fire and hazard insurance in the
amounts described above, liability insurance and, to the extent required and
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and the
Servicer determines that such insurance is necessary in accordance with accepted
mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions servicing mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans, flood insurance in an amount equal to that
required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
customary mortgage servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Principal and
Interest Account, subject to (X) retention by the Servicer to the extent such
amounts constitute Servicing Compensation or (Y) withdrawal pursuant to Section
                                                                        -------
5.04. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
----
insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO
Property, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses
with losses payable to the Servicer. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Servicer or the Advancing Party pursuant to this Section 5.07, including,
                                                 ------------
without limitation, any advances of premiums on insurance policies required by
this Section 5.07, shall constitute Servicing Advances.
     ------------

     Section 5.08. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
                   ---------------------------------------------------

     In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage
Loans as to which the Mortgagor does not maintain the insurance described in
Section 5.07, then, to the extent such policy names the Servicer as loss payee
------------
and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal
balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with
the requirements of Section 5.07, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to
                    ------------
have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance
coverage under Section 5.07, it being understood and agreed that such blanket
               ------------
policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with Section 5.07, and there shall have been a loss
                                 ------------
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account from the Servicer's own funds (which shall not constitute a
Servicing Advance) the difference, if any, between the amount that would have
been payable under a policy complying with Section 5.07 and the amount paid
                                           ------------
under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Certificate Insurer or the
Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such requesting Person a
certified true copy of such policy. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under
any such blanket policy (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with customary mortgage servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Principal and Interest Account, subject to (X) retention by the
Servicer to the extent such amounts constitute Servicing Compensation or (Y)
withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.04.

     Section 5.09. Fidelity Bond.
                   -------------

     The Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, at its own expense,
a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy in a
minimum amount acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC with broad coverage on all officers,
employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to
handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans
("Servicer Employees"). Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
  ------------------
insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including losses
resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such fidelity bond shall also protect
and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 5.09 requiring such
                                                   ------------
fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish, or relieve the
Servicer from, the Servicer's duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. Upon the request of the Trustee the NIMS Insurer, or the Certificate
Insurer, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such requesting Person a
certified true copy of such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance
policy. On the Closing Date, such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance policy for the Initial Servicer is maintained with certain
underwriters at National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA.

     Section 5.10. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
                   -------------------------------------------------

     In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an "REO Property"), the deed or
                                                   ------------
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders.

     The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer solely for the purpose of
its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall, either itself
or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and
operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects
and operates for its own account similar property in the same locality as the
REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may
temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interests of the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders.
Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Advancing Party
pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall constitute Servicing Advances. The Servicer
                 ------------
shall cause the Trustee to be named as a beneficiary and loss payee under the
REO liability provisions of the Servicer's general comprehensive liability
insurance policy.

     The Servicer shall cause to be deposited into the Principal and Interest
Account all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition
of the related REO Property and shall retain or withdraw therefrom funds
necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO
Property and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

     The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at
such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in
the best interest of the

Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, the reasonably incurred expenses of such sale shall be paid. The
proceeds of sale of the REO Property and other proceeds of any REO Disposition
shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account, net of accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees.

     In the event any Mortgaged Property is acquired as aforesaid or otherwise
in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the
third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition (the
"Disposition Period") unless (i) the Servicer shall have received an Opinion of
 ------------------
Counsel to the effect that the holding of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to
the Disposition Period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A or Class X Certificates
are outstanding or (ii) the Servicer shall have applied for, at least 60 days
prior to the expiration of such period, an extension of such period in the
manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the original
period shall be extended by the applicable period. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, (1) no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income or by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund, and (2) no construction shall take place on such Mortgaged Property, if
such activity as described in the preceding clause (1) or clause (2) is
conducted or otherwise undertaken in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by
any Trust REMIC of any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject
to taxation within the meaning of Sections 860G(c) and 857(b)(4)(B) of the Code.
If a period greater than the Disposition Period is permitted under this
Agreement and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall give
appropriate notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
Certificateholders and shall report monthly to the Trustee as to the progress
being made in selling such REO Property.

     If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the
Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with material
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will
notify the Certificate Insurer the NIMS Insurer, and the Trustee prior to
acquiring the Mortgaged Property and shall not take any action without the prior
written approval of the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, and the Trustee.
The Servicer shall not be obligated to foreclose on or take similar action with
respect to any Mortgaged Property which it believes may be contaminated with or
affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances. The Servicer will not be
liable to Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer the NIMS
Insurer, or any other party if it fails to foreclose on a Mortgaged Property
which it believes may be so contaminated or affected, even if such Mortgaged
Property is, in fact, not so contaminated or affected. Conversely, the Servicer
will not be liable to Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
the NIMS Insurer, or any other party if, based on its belief that no such
contamination or effect exists, the Servicer forecloses on a Mortgaged Property
and takes title to such Mortgaged Property, and thereafter such Mortgaged
Property is determined to be so contaminated or affected. The Trustee shall have
no liability to any party if the Servicer forecloses on a Mortgaged Property
that is so contaminated or affected.

     Nothing in this Section shall affect the Servicer's rights to deem certain
advances proposed to be made Nonrecoverable Advances. For the purpose of this
Section 5.10, actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a
------------
Responsible Officer of the Servicer involved in the servicing of the relevant
Mortgage Loan. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge
imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information
relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

     Section 5.11. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
                   --------------------------------------------

     The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called
for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing
Policy and Procedure, comply with the terms and provisions of any applicable
hazard insurance policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its
discretion extend the due date for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
(with respect to each payment as to which the due date is extended) not greater
than 125 days after the initially scheduled due date for such payment, provided
that such extension may only be made once in any 12-month period and only three
times over the term of the Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of
the Certificate Insurer. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the
deferment of the Due Dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, the Servicer
shall nonetheless remit any required Interest Advance in accordance with Section
                                                                         -------
6.08 hereof with respect to the payments so extended to the same extent as if
----
such installment were due, owing and delinquent and had not been deferred.

     Section 5.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
                   -------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Loans.
--------------

     The Servicer and the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer, the Federal Reserve, the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Financial Institution
Examination Council, and to the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the
foregoing, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans (such access
in the case of the supervisory agents and examiners shall be limited to that
required by applicable state and federal regulations), such access being
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.

     Section 5.13. Superior Liens.
                   --------------

     If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or
intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien, or has declared
or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note
secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the
Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take such actions as
are consistent with Applicable Regulations and the Servicing Policy and
Procedure to protect the interests of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and
the Certificate Insurer, and/or to preserve the security for the related
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer may make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary
to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien, if the Servicer determines
that such Servicing Advance would maximize the net recovery to the Trust Fund
and would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance, consistent with the Performance
Standards and the

                                      -102-

<PAGE>

Advance Continuation and REO Liquidation Tests. The Servicer shall thereafter
take such action as the Servicer determines is commercially reasonable to
recover the amount so advanced.

     Section 5.14. Prepayment Charges.
                   ------------------

     (a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Transferor
has not transferred to the Depositor, and the Depositor has not transferred to
the Trustee, and the Trust Fund does not include, any right, title or interest
in the Prepayment Charges, which Prepayment Charges have been retained by the
Transferor and may be transferred to one or more third parties and (ii) the
Servicing Compensation does not include any rights to retain Prepayment Charges.

     (b) The Servicer is authorized to administer and collect the Prepayment
Charges on behalf of the owner or owners thereof on such terms as the Servicer
and such owner or owners may agree; provided, however, that such terms will not
be inconsistent with the Servicer's duty to maximize proceeds of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trust pursuant to the servicing standards provided for herein, and
shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Transferor.

     (c) In the event (i) the Servicer resigns or assigns the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof or otherwise, (ii) the rights of
                           ------------
the Servicer hereunder are terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof or
                                                  -------------
otherwise or (iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof
                                                            -------------
or otherwise, then the Successor Servicer shall, at the request of the owner or
owners of the Prepayment Charges, enter into an agreement with such owner or
owners in which such successor servicer agrees to administer the enforcement and
collection of the Prepayment Charges on the terms specified in Appendix 3.
                                                               ----------

     Section 5.15. Advancing Party.
                   ---------------

     (a) Disbursement and Reimbursement of Servicing Advances. The Servicer
shall make Servicing Advances that are Eligible Servicing Advances on the
Mortgage Loans (i) when necessary or appropriate in the course of performing its
servicing responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with
the Servicing Policy and Procedure and the Advance Continuation and REO
Liquidation Tests included in the Performance Standards, and (iii) to the extent
the Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance would not be a
Nonrecoverable Advance (collectively, the "Servicing Advance Eligibility
                                           -----------------------------
Criteria"). The Servicer shall make Servicing Advances required hereunder from
--------
its own funds, but subject to daily reimbursement from the Advancing Party as
described in, and subject to, this Section 5.15. Certain of the Servicing
                                   ------------
Advances will be paid to service providers to perform actions with respect to
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. The Servicer may from time to time engage and
pay Affiliates of the Servicer to perform some of such actions. Such payment
shall be at arms-length market rates for the services rendered and shall be
reimbursable as Servicing Advances.

     The Servicer shall submit a daily written report in substantially the form
of Exhibit SA attached hereto (a "Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request")
   ----------                     ---------------------------------------
(which may be by electronic transmission) to the Advancing Party, pursuant to
delivery instructions provided to the Servicer by the Advancing Party, reporting
(i) the amount of all Servicing Advances made by the Servicer on the preceding
day, (ii) the aggregate amounts of collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit

                                      -103-

<PAGE>

in the Principal and Interest Account or other custodial account on the
preceding day, and which, if on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account,
were permitted to be withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account to
reimburse outstanding Servicing Advances or Existing Advances pursuant to
Section 5.04(ii) (regardless of whether reimbursed by the Advancing Party to the
----------------
Servicer pursuant to this Section 5.15) ("Servicing Advance Reimbursement
                          -------------   -------------------------------
Amounts"), and which Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts were withdrawn by
-------
the Servicer and used to pay some or all of the Servicing Advances paid on that
preceding day, (iii) the amounts specified in clause (B)(1) of the next
paragraph, and (iv) the amount requested to be paid by the Advancing Party to
the Servicer, or the amount required to be paid by the Servicer to the Advancing
Party, pursuant to the next paragraph. For each Servicing Advance, the Servicer
shall report (A) the loan number, (B) the purpose for the Servicing Advance, (C)
a code indicating the vendor to whom the Servicing Advance was paid, (D) the
amount of the Servicing Advance, and (E) other information reasonably requested
by the Advancing Party.

     The Advancing Party shall remit to the Servicer, on the next Business Day
following its receipt of a daily Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request, or the
second Business Day after receipt, if the Servicing Advance Reimbursement
Request is received later than 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Business Day, (A)
the amount of the Servicing Advances made by the Servicer on the preceding date,
as reported in the related Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request, except to
the extent rejected by the Advancing Party for not being Eligible Servicing
Advances, minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate amounts by which individual
Servicing Advances made by the Servicer exceed the amounts established for
Servicing Advances of such type under the Servicing Policy and Procedure, and
(2) the amount of all Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts on deposit on the
date of the Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request in the Principal and
Interest Account or other custodial account, to the extent used by the Servicer
to disburse Servicing Advances. If the number determined pursuant to the
preceding sentence is a negative number, the Servicer shall remit such amount to
the Advancing Party on the Business Day following the date on which the
Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request is delivered.

     The Servicer represents and warrants with respect to each Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Request it submits to the Advancing Party that (i) the Servicer
will not fail to comply with the Performance Standards as a result of its having
made any or all of the Servicing Advances for which reimbursement was requested
in such Servicing Advance Reimbursement Request, including the Advance
Continuation and REO Liquidation Tests set forth in the Performance Standards;
(ii) each Servicing Advance for which reimbursement is requested is an Eligible
Servicing Advance, and, in the Servicer's reasonable good faith judgment, each
such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance; and (iii) each Servicing
Advance has not exceeded the limits established for such Servicing Advance under
the Servicing Policy and Procedure. To the extent the amount of any Servicing
Advance exceeds the parameters set forth in the Servicing Policy and Procedure,
the Servicer will be required to obtain the prior written approval of the
Advancing Party for any and all such payments.

     The Servicer shall pay to the Advancing Party (or the Certificate Insurer,
if a draw shall have been made under a Certificate Insurance Policy and shall
not have been reimbursed) all amounts required under the Performance Standards
due to failures of the REO Sale Test or the Other Test referred to in the
Performance Standards.

                                      -104-

<PAGE>

     The Advancing Party shall not assert any action or inaction by any Person
(including any default or event of default under any agreement between the
Advancing Party and the Servicer) as a defense to its obligation to reimburse
Servicing Advances as described herein; provided, however, that if the terms of
any agreement between the Advancing Party and the Servicer relieve the Advancing
Party from its obligation to reimburse Servicing Advances to the Servicer, the
Advancing Party shall satisfy such obligations hereunder by either (i)
depositing the amount of such Servicing Advances directly into the Principal and
Interest Account or Collection Account or (ii) continuing to reimburse the
Servicer for such Servicing Advances.

     (b)  Recovery of Interest Advance, Servicing Advance and Existing Advance
Reimbursements. The Servicer shall perform all servicing-related work and
collection activities with respect to the Mortgage Loans related to the recovery
of all Advances, including, without limitation, active collection actions for
Advances and interest accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, prior to payoff or liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Servicer shall charge Mortgagors interest on
the amount of all outstanding Advances in connection with payoffs of Mortgage
Loans, to the full extent such interest is allowed under the Mortgagor's
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and to the full extent permitted under Applicable
Regulations. The Servicer shall cause such interest amounts to be transferred to
the Advancing Party immediately upon the Servicer's receipt thereof, and the
Advancing Party shall remit to the Transferor any such amounts representing
interest on Existing Advances. The Servicer shall actively examine unreimbursed
Advances to analyze their recoverability out of Late Collections and (without
duplication) Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans and shall
declare unreimbursed Advances that it deems nonrecoverable to be Nonrecoverable
Advances, and shall deliver Officer's Certificates as required by the definition
of "Nonrecoverable Advance" as necessary.

     (c)  Advance Financing Facilities. The Advancing Party may assign any of
its rights hereunder and delegate its obligations hereunder to any party with
the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the proposed
assignee/delegee's short-term unsecured indebtedness is rated at least "A-1" by
S&P and "P-1" by Moody's and whose long-term unsecured indebtedness is rated at
least "A" by S&P and "A2" by Moody's. The Servicer acknowledges and understands
that the Advancing Party may wish to enter into a facility to finance the rights
to be reimbursed for outstanding unreimbursed Advances. The Servicer is familiar
with these types of financing facilities and the terms thereof, and hereby
covenants and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts, at its own
expense, to modify its procedures and the documentation of those procedures and
this Agreement, and to enter into other documentation as needed, to facilitate
such a facility, if and when requested to do so by the Advancing Party.

     (d)  Interest Advance, Servicing Advance and Existing Advance
Reimbursements, Servicing Compensation Prior to Servicing Transfer Date; Float
Income Belongs to Advancing Party.

     It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Servicer shall have
no rights whatsoever in respect of (i) any and all reimbursements in respect of
Interest Advances, Servicing Advances or Existing Advances made by the Advancing
Party or the Transferor, or Servicing Advances reimbursed by the Advancing Party
to the Servicer or, if made by the

                                      -105-

<PAGE>

Servicer, that have been previously reimbursed to the Servicer, or to interest
received on any Advances, (ii) interest earned on funds on deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account and investment earnings on investments in which
such deposits are invested, or (iii) Servicing Compensation the right to receive
which accrued or arose prior to the Servicing Transfer Date (items (i) through
(iii) collectively, the "Reimbursement Rights"). However, in the event that,
                         --------------------
notwithstanding the express intent of the parties hereto, any such Reimbursement
Rights are determined to belong to the Servicer, then the Servicer hereby
unconditionally assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Advancing Party
(in the case of Reimbursement Rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above)
and to the Transferor (in the case of Reimbursement Rights described in clause
(iii) above) all of the Servicer's right, title and interest, in, to and under
such Reimbursement Rights, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising
from time to time with respect thereto until the termination of this Agreement,
and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect
thereto and all proceeds (including, without limitation, "proceeds" as defined
in the Uniform Commercial Code) thereof. At the Advancing Party's or the
Transferor's request and expense, the Servicer agrees to the filing of UCC
financing statements in the applicable jurisdictions to perfect the Advancing
Party's and the Transferor's interests in the Reimbursement Rights. The Servicer
acknowledges and agrees that in collecting Reimbursement Amounts, the Servicer
is acting solely as servicer and collection agent for the Advancing Party and
the Transferor, and shall hold all such Reimbursement Amounts and interest
thereon in trust for the sole benefit of the Advancing Party and the Transferor.

     (e)  Form of Remittances to Advancing Party and Transferor. Any and all
amounts required to be remitted by the Servicer to the Advancing Party or the
Transferor shall be effected by funds transfer directly from the Principal and
Interest Account to the account of the Advancing Party or the Transferor, as the
case may be, pursuant to written instructions provided to the Servicer by the
Advancing Party and the Transferor, respectively.

     (f)  Advancing Party Not Responsible for Servicing. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Advancing Party's role is merely
to provide liquidity for Servicing Advances and Interest Advances, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed to render the Advancing Party a
servicer or master servicer or in any way responsible for performing, or for
supervising or overseeing the performance of, the Servicer's duties,
responsibilities and obligations hereunder, and the Advancing Party shall not be
liable for any Servicer liability hereunder. The Advancing Party shall be
responsible only for the duties, responsibilities and obligations specifically
and explicitly undertaken by the Advancing Party hereunder and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, shall not be liable for any action taken based
upon information and instructions given to the Advancing Party by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.15 or Section 6.08 hereof. This Section 5.15(f) shall not
            ------------    ------------              ---------------
limit any obligation specifically undertaken by Bank of America, N.A., in the
Guaranty described in Section 3.06.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Trustee may establish a single
account (the "Collection Account"), of which the REMIC I Distribution Account,
              ------------------
the REMIC II Distribution Account and the REMIC III Distribution Account will be
deemed to be subaccounts, provided that: (i) the Collection Account shall be
established and maintained in the name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit

forth in Section 6.05 hereof, shall make the withdrawals from the REMIC III
         ------------

Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account and the REMIC III
Distribution Account on each Distribution Date (except as set forth in clause
(ii) below) in the following order of priority:

             (i)   to make the distributions pursuant to Section 6.05; and
                                                         ------------

             (ii)  on any day during the related Accrual Period, and in no
         particular order of priority:

             Account as directed by the Advancing Party in Permitted Instruments
             or such other instruments as may be approved in writing by the
             Certificate Insurer (with written notice to the Rating Agencies)

Rate (net of the Servicing Fees for the most recently ended Due Period) over the
net income from the REO Property deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
during such Due Period pursuant to Section 5.10, plus (c) principal portions of
                                   ------------
any Amounts Held for Future Distribution that were included in P&I Account
Offsets on previous Distribution Dates and which have not been restored to the
Principal and Interest Account out of Late Collections of such P&I Account
Offsets pursuant to Section 5.01(h) and Section 5.04(ii), which principal would

otherwise have been included in Available Funds for the upcoming Distribution
Date (the "Principal Restoration Amount").
           ----------------------------

       Each Interest Advance Request shall also identify the portion of the
Aggregate Interest Delinquency attributable to each Mortgage Loan and REO
Property (each an "Interest Delinquency Amount"), and indicate whether, in the
                   ---------------------------
Servicer's reasonable good faith judgment, each such Interest Delinquency Amount
should be expected to be recoverable in the future out of Late Collections and
(without duplication) Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan or REO
Property, and shall state the aggregate amount of Interest Delinquency Amounts
which the Servicer, in its reasonable good faith judgment, believes will be
recoverable ("Recoverable Interest Delinquency Amounts"), with the understanding
              ----------------------------------------
that the Principal Restoration Amount shall be included in the Recoverable
Interest Delinquency Amounts. The Servicer shall further

                                     -139-

state in the Interest Advance Request the amount of all funds held in the

Determination Date, (A) representing amounts collected after the end of the
related Due Period that constitute interest accrued during such Due Period and
(B) representing amounts held for distribution to Certificateholders on a
Distribution Date after the related Distribution Date ("Amounts Held for Future

------------
Recoverable Interest Delinquency Amounts, being referred to herein as the "P&I

Account Offset"). The P&I Account Offset shall consist first of amounts
--------------
described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence and, to the extent the
Recoverable Interest Delinquency Amounts exceed the amounts described in such
clause (A), amounts described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. The
Interest Advance Request shall also report (x) the amount of any Principal
Restoration Amount for the upcoming Distribution Date and (y) the amount of any
Amount Held for Future Distribution that was used to remit a P&I Account Offset
in respect of the most recent previous Distribution Date, which has not been
restored to the Principal and Interest Account (the "P&I Account Restoration
                                                     -----------------------
Amount").
------

       The Servicer shall request the Advancing Party, in the Interest Advance
Request, to remit to the Trustee the aggregate amount by which (1) the
Recoverable Interest Delinquency Amounts exceed (2) the amount of the P&I
Account Offset on the related Determination Date. No later than 11:00 AM Eastern
Time on the second Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall remit to the Trustee, for deposit into the REMIC I Distribution Account,
the amount of the P&I Account Offset (but not in excess of the Recoverable
Interest Delinquency Amounts), to cover, in whole or in part, Recoverable
Interest Delinquency Amounts. If the Interest Advance Request has not been
delivered (as described in the first paragraph of this Section 6.08) to the
                                                       ------------
Advancing Party by 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the third Business day preceding a
Distribution Date, then, no later than 11:00 AM Eastern Time on the second
Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, the Advancing Party shall remit
to the Trustee, for deposit into the REMIC I Distribution Account, the amount by
which Recoverable Interest Delinquency Amounts exceed the P&I Account Offset, as
reported in the Interest Advance Request furnished by the Servicer (an "Interest
                                                                        --------
Advance"). If the Servicer does not deliver (as described in the first paragraph
-------
of this Section 6.08) the Interest Advance Request in respect of a Distribution
        ------------
Date to the Advancing Party at or prior to 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the third
Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, then the Servicer shall fund the
related Interest Advance out of its own funds at or prior to 11:00 AM Eastern
Time on the second Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, by remitting
such amount to the Trustee for deposit into the REMIC I Distribution Account. In
this event, the Advancing Party shall reimburse the amount of the Interest
Advance to the Servicer on the Business Day after the Business Day on which the
Advancing Party shall have received the Interest Advance Request, or the second
Business Day after such receipt, if the Interest Advance Request is received by
the Advancing Party after 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Business Day, and the
Advancing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement of the Interest Advance, as
described in Section 5.04(ii), Section 6.05, and Section 5.15 from and after the
             ----------------  ------------      ------------
time the Interest Advance is reimbursed by the Advancing Party to the Servicer.
If the Servicer fails to make an Interest Advance when it is required to do so
as described in the preceding sentence, the Advancing Party shall make the
Interest Advance to the Trustee by depositing it into the Collection Account,
within the same time frame as that in which the Advancing Party would have been
required to reimburse the Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                                     -140-

         The Advancing Party shall promptly notify the Servicer if at any time
the Advancing Party's long-term unsecured debt obligations are rated below "A-"
by S&P or Fitch or below "A3" by Moody's. At any such time, the Advancing Party
shall remit to the Principal and Interest Account, at the same time it remits or
is required to remit its Interest Advance in respect of a Distribution Date, the
P&I Account Restoration Amount reported in the related Interest Advance Request.
In addition, in connection with the first Distribution Date after such a
downgrade of the Advancing Party, the Advancing Party shall remit to the
Principal and Interest Account all P&I Account Restoration Amounts for previous
Distribution Dates, to the extent such Amounts Held for Future Distribution have
not been otherwise restored to the Principal and Interest Account or advanced to
the Trustee as Principal Restoration Amounts.

         The Servicer shall not instruct the Advancing Party to make any
Interest Advance that is not an Eligible Interest Advance.

         The Advancing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement for Interest
Advances pursuant to Section 5.01(h) and Section 5.04(ii), to interest on such
                     ---------------     ----------------
Interest Advances pursuant to Section 6.05, shall have the rights set forth in
                              ------------
Section 5.15. The Principal and Interest Account shall be restored the amount of
------------
Amounts Held for Future Distribution used for P&I Account Offsets pursuant to
Section 5.01(h).

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Advancing Party's role is merely to provide liquidity for Servicing Advances and
Interest Advances, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to render
the Advancing Party a servicer or master servicer or in any way responsible for
performing, or for supervising or overseeing the performance of, the Servicer's
duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder, and the Advancing Party
shall not be liable for any Servicer liability hereunder. The Advancing Party
shall be responsible only for the duties, responsibilities and obligations
specifically and explicitly undertaken by the Advancing Party hereunder and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be liable for any
action taken based upon information and instructions given to the Advancing
Party by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.15 or Section 6.08 hereof. This
                                  ------------    ------------
paragraph shall not limit any obligation specifically undertaken by Bank of
America, N.A. in the Guaranty described in Section 3.06.

         Section 7.01.  Assumption Agreements.
                        ---------------------

         When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
                           --------  -------
exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the
Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement 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


                                     -141-

<PAGE>

prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage Documents, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized with the prior approval of the
Certificate Insurer 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; provided that if the Certificate Insurer does not respond within
               --------
five Business Days after its approval has been requested in writing by the
Servicer, then the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to have approved the
substitution of liability. The Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or to the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) the original of such substitution or
assumption agreement and a duplicate thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer
and the Certificate Insurer, which original shall be added by the Trustee (or by
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) 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. In
connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant
to this Section 7.01, the Servicer shall not change the Mortgage Interest Rate
        ------------
or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest,
reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the final maturity date on
such Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such
conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be
retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional Servicing Compensation.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

                        -----
         Subject to Section 5.01(d), the Servicer shall not grant a satisfaction
or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or otherwise prejudice any right the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer may have under the mortgage
instruments subject to Section 5.01 hereof. The Servicer shall maintain the
                       ------------
Fidelity Bond as provided for in Section 5.09 insuring the Servicer against any
                                 ------------
loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

         Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate in the form
of Exhibit B attached to the Custodial Agreement (which certification shall
   ---------
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.03 have been or will be so deposited)
                                 ------------
of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed

Advances or reimbursed from the Principal and Interest Account or the Collection
Account.

of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any primary

-
release the related Mortgage File, or the requested portion thereof, to the
Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to
the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the Servicer to return the Mortgage File or any document released therefrom to
the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee when the need therefor by
the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and
the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Trustee for deposit in
the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or document(s) released therefrom
has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action

Mortgaged Property or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on a Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or

Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such
documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate
of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed
by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request from a Servicing Officer,
execute any document provided to the Trustee by the Servicer or take any other
action requested in such request that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as
evidenced by such request, required by any state or other jurisdiction to
discharge the lien of a Mortgage upon the satisfaction thereof and the Trustee
will promptly sign and deliver, any such documents to the Servicer, or such
other party as the Servicer may direct, within five Business Days, or more
promptly if needed, of the Trustee's receipt of such certificate or documents.
Such certificate or documents shall establish to the Trustee's satisfaction that
the related Mortgage Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Mortgagor

         Section 7A.01.  Description and Purpose.
                         -----------------------

         (a)  The Performance Standards define certain of the Servicer's duties
under this Agreement and (i) establish financial penalties ("Service Level
                                                             -------------
Penalties"), which apply in the event that the Servicer fails to meet certain
---------
minimum standards and performs below acceptable levels, and (ii) provide a basis
for termination of the Servicer as described in Section 10.01(a)(vii) of this
                                                ---------------------
Agreement. The Performance Standards distinguish between Level 1 Performance
Standards and Level 2 Performance Standards. Level 1 Performance Standards
specify standards for the breach of which there may be Service Level Penalties
assessed to the Servicer or, in the case of more severe breaches, the Servicer
may be subject to termination hereunder (the "Termination Standards"). Level 2
                                              ---------------------
Performance Standards specify standards for the breach of which there may be
Service Level Penalties assessed against the Servicer. The Level 1 and Level 2
Performance Standards, the Termination Standards and the penalties for failures
to perform to each Standard are described more fully in Appendix 1 attached
                                                        ----------
hereto.

         (b) The Performance Standards are attached hereto as Appendix 1 and

are intended to define acceptable levels of performance during the term of this
Agreement. It is understood that during the term of this Agreement, designated
representatives of the Servicer and the Advancing

                                      -145-

<PAGE>

Party will meet periodically and may agree, with respect to any Level 2
Performance Standards, on different or additional performance categories and
standards and amend these Performance Standards in a writing acceptable to both
parties, with the prior consent of the Certificate Insurer. In addition to the
reporting duties described below, the Servicer shall be responsible for
investigating and correcting failures to meet the Performance Standards by
initiating problem reports to identify the root causes of any such failure,
reporting such problems to the Advancing Party that could be reasonably expected
to have an adverse impact on credit quality and results, making written
recommendations to the Advancing Party for improvement in procedures which the
Servicer believes are impacting its ability to perform, and advising the
Advancing Party of changes which have negatively impacted the Servicer's ability
to perform. In the event that the Servicer's performance hereunder fails to meet
the applicable Performance Standards, the Advancing Party may recover as
liquidated damages the Service Level Penalties specified in Appendix 1.
                                                            ----------
References to the Advancing Party in this paragraph shall mean the Certificate
Insurer at any time at which a payment shall have been made under a Certificate
Insurance Policy, which payment shall not have been reimbursed.

         (c) The Performance Standards identified on Appendix 1 as Level 2
                                                     ----------
Standards may be modified or waived by mutual written agreement executed by the
Servicer and the Advancing Party, and with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer.

         Section 7A.02.Effective Date.
                       --------------

         The Service Level Penalties shall become effective as of February 1,
2002. From February 1, 2002 through May 31, 2002 (the "Ramp-up Period"), the
Advancing Party may recover Service Level Penalties in accordance with the
Interim Standards, as set forth on Appendix 1. After the expiration of the
                                   ----------
Ramp-up Period, the Servicer will be required to fully meet the standard test
levels of related Performance Standard in order to avoid imposition of a Service
Level Penalty.

         Section 7A.03.Audit.
                       -----

         Each year, in connection with Servicer's audit by its independent
certified public accountants pursuant to the Uniform Single Attestation Program
or a successor program ("USAP"), the Servicer's independent auditor will be
                         ----
required to prepare and furnish an agreed upon procedures report relating to the
Servicer's compliance with the nine Performance Standards in Level 1, as more
particularly set forth on Appendix 1.
                          ----------

         Section 7A.04.Reporting.
                       ---------

         Each month, the Servicer shall prepare reports containing data relating
to the degree of compliance with the Performance Standards of its servicing of
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer will deliver these reports to the Advancing
Party and to the Certificate Insurer each month no later than the tenth (10/th/)
Business Day following the previous month's end. The reports shall be
substantially in the form required by Appendix 1 and will indicate (i) where the
                                      ----------
Servicer has not met the Performance Standard (each event called an
"Exceedance"); (ii) if not met, the root cause for missing the Performance
 ----------
Standard; and (iii) the corrective action required and preventative procedures
recommended to remedy the problem (including a timeline).

         Section 7A.05.Service Level Penalty.
                       ---------------------

         If during any month, the Servicer performs the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement below acceptable tolerance levels set forth
on Appendix 1, the Advancing Party shall, unless the Servicer cures the
   ----------
Exceedance as described below, be entitled to a Service Level Penalty in an
amount calculated as set forth on Appendix 1, with respect to the related
                                  ----------
Performance Standard. Upon receipt of the report, the Advancing Party shall
notify the Servicer of the below acceptable level occurrence and corresponding
Exceedance, and the Servicer shall attempt to cure the deficiency during the
applicable cure period. The Servicer shall have a period of sixty (60) days in
which to cure such occurrence by bringing the related Performance Standard to
within agreed to service levels in the second full month following the month in
which such Exceedance occurs. For example, if in the month of March there is a
Level 1 Exceedance for Right Party Contacts (as defined in Appendix 1), and the
                                                           ----------
same Exceedance for Right Party Contacts occurs in both April and May, then in
May, the Service Level Penalty will be imposed and payable by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7A.07 for all three monthly periods. If, however, in May the
            -------------
Servicer brings the Right Party Contacts within acceptable tolerance levels,
there will be no Service Level Penalty imposed with respect to the March and
April Exceedance.

         Section 7A.06. Performance Standard Review.
                        ---------------------------

         On a monthly basis, commencing the first day of March 2002, the
designated representatives of the Servicer and the Advancing Party shall meet to
review the then-current Level 1 Performance Standards, minimum standards, and
Service Level Penalties, as appropriate.

         Section 7A.07.Payment of Service Level Penalty.
                       --------------------------------

         If a Service Level Penalty is due and owing in any month, it shall be
invoiced by the Advancing Party (or by the Certificate Insurer, if a payment
shall have been made under any Certificate Insurance Policy which shall not have
been reimbursed) to the Servicer and paid by the Servicer within fifteen (15)
days of receipt of the invoice.

officer for the purpose of answering reasonable questions respecting recent

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

         The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Depositor, the Custodian,

willful misconduct of the Servicer, and except that the Servicer shall have no
entitlement to any payment pursuant to this sentence when the claim relates
directly to the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, in which event the
Servicer shall reimburse to the Principal and Interest Account any amount paid
to the Servicer as a Reimbursable Amount in respect thereof. The Servicer shall
have no lien on the assets of the Trust with respect to amounts advanced

service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this

         Section 9.03.  Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

         The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Servicer may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably
believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of
Section 9.01 herein, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with

Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and will be held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal
action relating to the Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans,
and without duplication of any other reimbursement of any loss, liability or
expense pursuant to this Agreement, and not including any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Servicer by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason
of the Servicer's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement.

         Section 9.04.  Assignment; Resignation.

the Expected Successor Servicer shall exercise commercially reasonable best
efforts to effect the servicing transfer from the Initial Servicer to the

Initial Servicer and the Expected Successor Servicer. In the event the Expected
Successor Servicer does not become the Successor Servicer on or before March 2,
2002 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing by the Initial Servicer and
the Certificate Insurer), the Initial Servicer shall present to the Certificate

market the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such entities. Any Successor
Servicer other than the Expected Successor Servicer must be approved in writing
by the Certificate Insurer. The Certificate Insurer shall

<PAGE>

respond to any proposal of a successor servicer as promptly as practicable,
including a response to any list of prospective successor servicers furnished by
the Initial Servicer. If the Certificate Insurer does not approve a successor
servicer proposed by the Initial Servicer, the Certificate Insurer shall propose
at least three alternative prospective successor servicers of whom it does
approve. The Initial Servicer shall exercise commercially reasonable best
efforts to sell the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to one or more of the
entities it shall have proposed to, which entity or entities shall have been
approved by, the Certificate Insurer, or, if not approved by the Certificate
Insurer, to one or more of the entities proposed by the Certificate Insurer, on
terms acceptable to the Initial Servicer.

         Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Servicer may assign
its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement if the

which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor has assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations
hereunder in accordance with Section 9.02. The Servicer shall promptly notify

Advancing Party, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Servicer termination

Expected Successor Servicer is terminated as Servicer due to such Termination
Without Cause Event, and (C) the Advancing Party shall indemnify and hold the
Expected Successor Servicer harmless for, from and against, any and all third
party claims made against the Expected Successor Servicer due to the Expected
Successor Servicer's failure to make or the Advancing Party's failure to make
Eligible Servicing Advances or Eligible Interest Advances, on the terms
applicable to the Transferor as indemnifying party pursuant to Section 10.01(a)
of the Fairbanks Whole Loan Servicing Agreement.

         (b) Remedies. In the case of any Servicer Default (and Termination
Without Cause Event), and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer
Default (or Termination Without Cause Event) shall not have been remedied, the
Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest, subject to the prior written consent of
the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, or the Certificate Insurer, by
notice in writing to the Servicer and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee may,
in addition to whatever rights they or it may have at law or equity to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, as servicer. Upon receipt by the Servicer of
such notice stating that the sender thereof intends to terminate the Servicer as
a result of such Servicer Default (or Termination Without Cause Event), all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall, subject to Section 10.02, pass to and

designated by the Certificate Insurer, or absent such designation, the Trustee
or its designee and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments and do or cause to be done all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the extent required by
this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Certificates, or its designee for administration by it of all
amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Principal and
Interest Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

     The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Default (or
Termination Without Cause Event) unless a Responsible Officer thereof has
received written notice thereof.

     (c)  Term-to-Term Servicing Contract. The Expected Successor Servicer
covenants and agrees, when and if the Servicing Transfer Date occurs, to act as
the Servicer under this Agreement for an initial term, commencing on the
Servicing Transfer Date and ending on December 31, 2003, which term shall be
extendable in its sole discretion by the Certificate Insurer for successive
terms of three calendar months thereafter, until the termination of the Trust
Fund pursuant to Article X. Each such notice of extension (a "Servicer Extension
                 ---------
Notice") shall be delivered by the Certificate Insurer to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer. The Expected Successor Servicer hereby agrees that,
upon its receipt of any such Servicer Extension Notice, the Expected Successor
Servicer shall become bound for the duration of the term covered by such
Servicer Extension Notice to continue as the Servicer subject to and in
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. The Successor Servicer
agrees that if as of the fifteenth (15/th/) day prior to the last day of any
term of the Servicer the Successor Servicer shall not have received any Servicer
Extension Notice from the Certificate Insurer, the Successor Servicer shall
within five (5) days thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Depositor. The failure of the
Certificate Insurer to deliver a Servicer Extension Notice by the end of a
calendar term shall result in the termination of the Successor Servicer. If the
term of the Successor Servicer shall expire without the Certificate Insurer
having delivered to the Successor Servicer a Servicer Extension Notice, but the
Successor Servicer shall continue without objection from the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Certificate Insurer to perform the functions of servicer
hereunder (and in the absence of ground for termination under any agreement
referred to in Section 10.01), the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to
               -------------
receive a prorated portion of the Servicing Fee specified hereunder for the time
during which it shall so act; provided, that it is understood and agreed that
the foregoing provision for payment of the prorated Servicing Fee is intended
solely to avoid unjust enrichment of the Trust Fund and does not contemplate or
give rise to any implicit renewal of the Successor Servicer's term. The
foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the Trustee in the
event the Trustee succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Servicer and the
Trustee shall continue in such capacity until the earlier of the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Article X or the appointment of a successor Servicer.

-------------  ----     ----
determines reasonably and in good faith that, such advances would not be
recoverable pursuant to Section 5.04(ii) or Section 6.05(d), (e), (f), (g), (h),

from its own funds if such advance is prohibited by law. The Trustee acting as
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Servicing Advances pursuant and
subject to Section 5.15.

     Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, and shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Majority in Aggregate Voting
Interest (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer), or the Certificate
Insurer so request in writing to the Trustee, appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing
institution designated by the Certificate Insurer that has a net worth of not
less than $75,000,000 and which is approved as a servicer by FNMA and FHLMC as
the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any
collections received by the Servicer after removal or resignation shall be
endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly to the Trustee or, at the
direction of the Trustee, to the Successor Servicer. The compensation of any
Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee) so appointed
shall be the aggregate Servicing Fees, together with other Servicing
Compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise,
other than those assessed or accrued prior to the date of termination (which
shall be payable to the predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(ii) in

shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance
institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the
Successor Servicer must be acceptable to the Certificate Insurer and shall be
entitled to the full amount of the aggregate Servicing Fees as servicing
compensation, together with the other Servicing Compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise, other than those assessed or
accrued prior to the date of termination (which shall be payable to the
predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(ii) in accordance with the

sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement
and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by
the Trustee to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to
the Servicer's successor. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any Successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such Successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and
shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such Successor Servicer, as
applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other
Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i)
the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a
successor to the Servicer hereunder (other than the Trustee) shall be effective
until the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have consented thereto. The
Trustee shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer acceptable to
the Certificate Insurer has been appointed.

     Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the 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

other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment
charges or otherwise as provided in this Agreement. The Servicer, the Trustee,
any Custodian and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

     The Certificate Insurer or a Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest may, on
behalf of all Certificateholders, and subject to the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, (with notice of such waiver delivered to the NIMS Insurer by the
Trustee) waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer
pursuant to this Article X. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default
                 ----------
shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default (or Termination Without Cause
Event) arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so
waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to each Rating
Agency.

     The Certificate Insurer, or the Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest with
the consent of the Certificate Insurer, may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding relating to the assets of the Trust or the
Certificates or for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the
Certificates, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to the Certificates or the assets of the Trust, provided that:

     with this Agreement;

         (ii)   the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory
     to it; and

         (iii)  the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by it which

     Trustee need not take any action which it determines might involve it in
     liability or may be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not so directing.
     If inconsistent directions are given, the Certificate Insurer's directions
     shall control.

                                   TERMINATION

     Section 11.01. Termination.
                    -----------

     Subject to Section 11.03, this Agreement shall terminate upon notice to the
                -------------
Trustee of either: (a) the collection with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or
Advances of same by the Servicer), or the disposition of all funds with respect
to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder and the
payment of all amounts due and payable to the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee or (b) mutual consent of the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and all
Certificateholders in writing.

     The Servicer may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement on any
Distribution Date on or following the first Distribution Date on which the
aggregate Pool Principal Balance as of the last day of the related Due Period is
less than 10% of the Original Pool Principal Balance (such Distribution Date
being the "Optional Purchase Date") by purchasing from the Trust on such
           ----------------------
Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a
price (the "Termination Price") equal to the fair market value thereof
            -----------------
(determined as provided below); provided, that the Trust shall not sell the
                                --------
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties if the Termination Price to be received is
less than the sum of (x) 100% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the
outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and (y) accrued and unpaid
interest on each such Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to its respective Mortgage
Interest Rate. At least ten Business Days before the Servicer exercises this
right, it must notify the Holders of the Class X Certificates and any NIMS
Insurer, and the Holders of a majority of the Class X Certificates (the "Class X
                                                                         -------
Majority") may, instead of the Servicer, purchase the Mortgage Loans for the
--------
Termination Price. On or after the Optional Purchase Date, the Class X Majority
may purchase all the Mortgage Loans for the Termination Price as described
above, under circumstances such that the Servicer remains as servicer of the
Mortgage Loans on terms substantially identical to

                                      -157-

<PAGE>

those set forth in this Agreement or in the Servicing Agreement, dated as of
December 6, 2001, among the Transferor, NationsCredit Financial Services
Corporation, and the Expected Successor Servicer (the "Fairbanks Whole Loan

Servicing Agreement"), except that the Servicing Compensation shall be as
-------------------
specified in this Agreement. If the Class X Majority shall fail or refuse to
make a terminating purchase, the NIMS Insurer may do so on the same terms those
on which the Class X Majority is entitled to make such purchase pursuant to this
Section 11.01. The maker of the terminating purchase, whether it be the Class X
-------------
Majority, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer, is referred to herein as the
"Terminating Purchaser." In connection with any such sale, as a condition which
 ---------------------
must be satisfied before or simultaneously with the termination, the Terminating
Purchaser shall pay any outstanding and unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer relating to this Agreement that such parties would
otherwise have been entitled to pursuant to Sections 6.05(d), (e), (f), (g),
                                            ----------------  ---  ---  ---
(h), (i), and (j), after giving effect to the Termination Price and without
---  ---      ---
regard to whether sufficient funds would be available therefor, and shall pay to
the Advancing Party, the Transferor and the Servicer all unreimbursed Interest
Advances, Existing Advances and Servicing Advances, respectively, made by such
respective parties, and shall pay to the Servicer its unpaid accrued Servicing
Fees (to the extent such amounts are not otherwise included in the Termination
Price). The Servicer's rights under this Section 11.01 are subject to Section
                                         -------------                -------
11.03.
-----

     The fair market value of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for purposes of this Section 11.01 shall be an amount equal to the average of
                     -------------
the bid prices for such assets taken as a whole, provided to the Terminating
Purchaser by two Independent, nationally recognized dealers in whole loans
substantially similar to the Mortgage Loans.

     Any such sale pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be accomplished by
                                    -------------
depositing into the REMIC I Distribution Account, on the third Business Day
immediately preceding the final Distribution Date on which such purchase is to
be effected, the amount of the Termination Price. On the same day that the
Termination Price is deposited into the REMIC I Distribution Account, any other
amounts then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account shall be
transferred to the REMIC I Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.04(i) for
                                                            ---------------
payment to the Trustee as Holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II
Regular Interests and REMIC III Regular Interests and to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05(l) and to Certificateholders and
                                  ---------------
the Certificate Insurer pursuant to Sections 6.05(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i),
                                    ----------------  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---
and (j) on the final Distribution Date as specified in the notice to
    ---
Certificateholders described below; provided, that the amount of any unpaid
                                    --------
Existing Advances or interest thereon shall not be paid from any of the Trust
REMICs but shall be treated as paid directly from the Terminating Purchaser of
the Mortgage Loans to the Transferor. Any amounts received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties subsequent to the last day of the related Due
Period shall belong to the Person purchasing the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Promptly upon receipt of the Termination Price, the Trustee shall
release (or cause to be released) each related Mortgage File to the Person
purchasing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as set forth herein.

     Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which this
Agreement will terminate, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to
the Certificateholders mailed during the month of such final Distribution Date
before the Determination Date in such month, specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made

                                      -158-

<PAGE>

and (ii) the amount of any such final payment. The obligations of the
Certificate Insurer hereunder shall terminate upon the deposit by the
Terminating Purchaser with the Trustee for deposit into the REMIC I Distribution
Account of a sum sufficient to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties as set forth above. The Terminating Purchaser shall notify the
Trustee of the Distribution Date on which this Agreement shall terminate, at
least 10 Business Days prior to such date.

     Each Holder is required, and hereby agrees, to return to the Trustee any
Certificate with respect to which the Trustee has made the final distribution
due thereon. Any such Certificate as to which the Trustee has made the final
distribution thereon shall be deemed canceled and shall no longer be outstanding
for any purpose of this Agreement, whether or not such Certificate is ever
returned to the Trustee.

     In the event that any amount due to any Class A Certificateholder remains
unclaimed, the Servicer shall, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which amount
shall be allocated to REMIC III, cause to be published once, in the eastern
edition of The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains unclaimed.
If, within the period then specified in the escheat laws of the State of New
York after such publication such amount remains unclaimed, the Class R-III
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds, and other assets
which remain subject hereto and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be
discharged of any responsibility for such funds and the Certificateholders shall
look to the Class R-III Certificateholders for payment.

     Section 11.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
                    -----------------------------------

     In the event a Terminating Purchaser exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 11.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
            -------------
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been furnished
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to
comply with the requirements of this Section 11.02 will not (i) result in the
                                     -------------
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust REMIC as defined
in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

          (i)   Within 89 days prior to the final Distribution Date the Trustee
     shall designate a date as the date of adoption of a plan of complete
     liquidation of such REMIC under Section 860F of the Code and any
     regulations thereunder and shall specify such date in the Trust REMICs'
     final federal income tax returns;

          (ii)  At or after the date of such a plan of complete liquidation and
     at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of
     the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer, the Class X Majority or any
     NIMS Insurer, as applicable, for cash;

          (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
     Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
     distributed or credited (A) to each Class of Class A Certificates, the
     Certificate Balance thereof, together with one month's interest at the
     related Pass-Through Rate, (B) after such payments to the Class A

     to the Class A and Class X Certificateholders (other than cash retained to
     meet claims), and the Trust REMICs and the Trust Fund shall terminate at
     such time; and

          (iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates (except to
     the extent permitted in Section 11.01 with respect to Certificateholders
                             -------------
     who fail to surrender their Certificates) be made after the 89th day from
     the date of such plan of complete liquidation.

     Section 11.03. Accounting Upon Termination of Servicer.
                    ---------------------------------------

     Upon termination of the Servicer under Article X hereof, the Servicer
                                            ---------
shall:

     (a)  deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed, to
the Trustee the funds in any Principal and Interest Account;

     (b)  deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed, to
the Trustee, the Mortgage Files or copies thereof held by it and related

respect to the Mortgage Loans; and

     (d)  execute and deliver such instruments and perform all acts reasonably
requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing of
the Mortgage Loans to its successor and to more fully and definitively vest in
such successor all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.

     Section 11.04. Termination Upon Loss of REMIC Status.
                    -------------------------------------

     (a)  Following a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or by
a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case, from which no appeal is taken
within the permitted time for such appeal, or if any appeal is taken, following
a final determination of such appeal from which no further appeal can be taken,
to the effect that any Trust REMIC does not and will no longer qualify as a
REMIC pursuant to Section 860D of the Code (the "Final Determination"), at any
                                                 -------------------
time on or after the date which is 30 calendar days following such Final
Determination (i) the Majority in Voting Interest may direct the Trustee on
behalf of each Trust REMIC to adopt a "plan of complete liquidation" (within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(4)(B)(i) of the Code) and (ii) the Certificate
Insurer may notify the Trustee of the Certificate Insurer's determination to
purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property theretofore
acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of
any Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the
Termination Price. Upon receipt of notice from the Certificate Insurer, the
Trustee shall notify the Class R-I Certificateholders of such election to
liquidate or such determination to purchase, as the case may be (the
"Termination Notice"). The Holders of a majority of the Percentage Interest of

shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in Section 11.01.
                                                 -------------

     (b) If, during the Purchase Option Period, the Class R-I Certificateholders
have not exercised the option described in Section 11.04(a), then upon the
                                           ----------------
expiration of the Purchase Option Period (i) in the event that the Majority in
Aggregate Voting Interest have given the Trustee the direction described in
clause (a)(i) above, the Trustee shall sell the Mortgage Loans and distribute
the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust Fund, each in accordance with the
plan of complete liquidation, such that, if so directed, the liquidation of the
Trust Fund, the distribution of the proceeds of the liquidation and the
termination of this Agreement occur no later than the close of the 60th day, or
such later day as the Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest shall permit or
direct in writing, after the expiration of the Purchase Option Period and (ii)
in the event that the Certificate Insurer has given the Trustee notice of the
Certificate Insurer's determination to purchase the Trust Fund described in
clause (a)(ii) preceding, the Certificate Insurer shall so purchase the Trust
Fund within 60 days after the expiration of the Purchase Option Period. In the
event that the Trustee is required to sell the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee may
retain, at the expense of the Trust Fund, and rely upon, an investment bank to
conduct the sale.

     (c) Following a Final Determination, the Holders of a majority of the
Percentage Interest of the Class R-I Certificates then outstanding may, at their
option and upon delivery to the Class A and Class X Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer of an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel selected
by the Holders of the Class R-I Certificates, which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest
and the Certificate Insurer, to the effect that the effect of the Final
Determination is to increase substantially the probability that the gross income
of each Trust REMIC will be subject to federal taxation, purchase from the Trust
Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then
remaining in the Trust Fund at a purchase price equal to the Termination Price.
Any such purchase shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in Section
                                                                   -------
11.01. The foregoing opinion shall be deemed satisfactory unless the Certificate
-----
Insurer or the Majority in Aggregate Voting Interest give the Holders of a
majority of the Percentage Interest of the Class R-I Certificates notice that
such opinion is not satisfactory within thirty days after receipt of such
opinion.

     (d) Any sale or purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 11.04
                                                                 -------------

Loans, on terms substantially identical to this Agreement or the Fairbanks Whole
Loan Servicing Agreement, except that the Servicing Compensation shall be as

     Section 12.01. Duties of Trustee.
                    -----------------

     The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Default and after the
curing of all Servicer Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If a Servicer Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its 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 which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
                                               --------  -------
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is
found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
notify the Certificate Insurer and request written instructions as to the action
it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is
not so corrected, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificate
Insurer who shall then direct the Trustee as to the action, if any, to be taken.

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

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

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

          (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
     action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
     accordance with the direction of the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer
     or the Class A Certificateholders, relating to the time, method and place
     of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the

                                      -162-

<PAGE>

     Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
     this Agreement;

          (iv)  The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to
     have notice or knowledge of any Default or Servicer Default unless a
     Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received notice thereof. In
     the absence of receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume
     that there is no Default or Servicer Default;

          (v)   The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
     funds or otherwise incur financial liability for 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 reasonably
     assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall
     in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the
     manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this
     Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
     successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
     of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

          (vi)  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without
     limiting the generality of this Section, 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 depositing 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 or any Trust REMIC,
     (d) to confirm or 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; and

          (vii) The Trustee shall not be deemed a fiduciary for the Certificate
     Insurer in its capacity as such, except to the extent the Certificate
     Insurer has made an Insured Payment and is thereby subrogated to the rights
     of the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

     good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

          (iii)  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or
     defend by litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
     or direction of the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, or any of the
     Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
     such Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, as applicable, shall
     have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
     costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
     nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
     obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default (which has not been
     cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
     Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as
     a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
     conduct of such person's own affairs;

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

          (v)    Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Default hereunder and
     after the curing of all Defaults which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
     not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
     any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
     notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
     unless requested in writing to do so by the Certificate Insurer or Holders
     of Class A Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the sum of the
     aggregate Class Balances of the Class A 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 reasonably assured to
     the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
     the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
     liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense
     of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the
     Trustee, shall be repaid by the Servicer upon demand from the Servicer's
     own funds;

          (vi)   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;

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

          (viii) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
     or perform any duties hereunder, including, without limitation, under
     Section 2.06 hereof, either directly or by or through agents, attorneys or

     responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent,
     attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care; and

          (ix)  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in
     no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential
     loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
     profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such
     loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     (b)  Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not knowingly accept any
contribution of assets, including substitutions, to the Trust Fund or any Trust
REMIC, unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC
will not cause such Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the
REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law
or ordinances.

                  -------------
therefor by the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer or the Majority in Aggregate

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

<PAGE>

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 predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Trustee's Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held
by it hereunder, and the 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

it may be consolidated or any corporation or national banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee

to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder;
provided that such corporation or national banking association shall be eligible
--------
under the provisions of Section 12.06, without the execution or filing of any

herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     Section 12.10.  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
                     ---------------------------------------------

     Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
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 and the Certificate Insurer with written notice to the NIMS Insurer and
the Rating Agencies to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 12.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
     -------------
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer with
written notice to the Rating Agencies) shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the

                                     -168-

<PAGE>

terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 12.06 hereunder and no
                                                  -------------
notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or
separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 12.08 hereof.
                                            -------------

     In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 12.10, 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, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

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

     Provided that any such selected co-trustee or separate trustee is
adequately capitalized and experienced in light of its anticipated activities
and potential liabilities, and was selected with reasonable care by the Trustee
in light of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the acts of
such co-trustee or separate trustee.

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

     The Trustee may, with the consent of the Servicer and the Certificate
Insurer and notice to the Rating Agencies, appoint one or more Custodians to
hold all or a portion of the Trustee's Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee,

initially appointed Custodian with respect to all Mortgage Loans and, for so
long as it shall be the Custodian hereunder, agrees to comply with the terms of
the provisions of Exhibit N hereto applicable to the duties of the Custodian.
                  ---------
Subject to this Article XII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each
                -----------
Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
The Servicer shall be liable for the fees of any Custodian appointed

supervision by federal or state authority and shall be qualified to do business
in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Trustee's Mortgage File. Each
Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 13.02.

on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor, the Servicer and the

indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Class A Certificates
to the holders of such Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be fully
subrogated to the rights of such holders to receive such principal and interest
from the Trust and (b) the Certificate Insurer shall be paid such principal and
interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the
payment of such principal and interest.

certificates or opinions required by this Agreement to be sent to any other
party hereto or to any of the Certificateholders shall also be sent to the

accepting its Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that unless a
Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall have the right

Certificates, appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making
claims on the Certificate Insurance Policy.

written consent of the Certificate Insurer, after consultation with the NIMS
Insurer, without notice to or consent of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity or mistake, to correct or supplement any provisions herein, to comply
with any changes in the Code, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or any Custodial Agreement;
provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of
--------  -------
any Certificateholder or the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel or written notification from each Rating
Agency to the effect that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to
lower or withdraw the then current ratings on the Certificates, without regard
to the Certificate Insurance Policies, at the expense of the party requesting
the change, delivered to the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, the
Trustee, the Transferor, and the Depositor; and provided, further, that no such
                                                --------  -------
amendment shall reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, or change the
rights or obligations of any other party hereto without the consent of such
party. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to each Rating Agency of any
amendment made pursuant to this Section 13.02(a).

<PAGE>

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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall reduce in any manner
         --------  -------
the amount of, or delay the timing of, any payments which are required to be
distributed on any Class A Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate or reduce the percentage for each Class of Certificates the Holders
of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of
the Holders of 100% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Prior notice
of any proposed amendment pursuant to this Section 13.02(b) shall be given to
                                           ----------------
each Rating Agency.

     (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders 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.

     (d) 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 to the effect that such amendment or the exercise
of any power granted to the Servicer, the Transferor, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee in accordance with such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC, will
not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or will not cause the
portion of the Trust Fund exclusive of any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
grantor trust at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. No amendment
shall have the effect of varying the latest possible maturity, principal amount
or interest rate of the Trust unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion
of Counsel that the amendment will not cause the regular interest to lack fixed
terms within the meaning of the REMIC provisions. In addition, prior to
consenting to any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is
authorized and permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Agreement.

     (e) An amendment or supplement to the original issue discount legend shall
not be an amendment or supplement for purposes of this Article XIII.

Article hereto (a "Supplemental Article") for the purpose of resecuritizing any

respect to any Class or Classes of Certificates issued hereunder, or any portion
of any such Class, as to which the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (or any
designee thereof) is the registered Holder (the "Resecuritized Certificates"),
                                                 --------------------------
such Holder may deposit such Resecuritized Certificates into a new REMIC,

Certificates shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that (i) the Restructuring Vehicle will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust, FASIT
or other entity not subject to taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii)
the adoption of the Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the
Trust Fund as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC as set

     (a) The successor servicer (the "Servicer") will act as the agent of the
                                      --------
owner of the Prepayment Charges (the "Owner") in connection with the enforcement
                                      -----
and collection of the Prepayment Charges. The Servicer shall not be entitled to
any compensation from the Owner for providing such services other than the
Servicing Compensation already set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The foregoing shall not prohibit the Servicer from contracting with third
parties for specific tasks in the ordinary course of business, but no such
arrangement shall relieve the Servicer of its obligations hereunder.

     (b) In the performance of its duties, the Servicer shall be an independent
contractor acting on behalf of the Owner in its own name and for its own
account. It shall have no authority, express or implied, to act in any manner or
by any means for or on behalf of the Owner in any capacity other than an
independent contractor.

     (c) The Servicer shall establish an Eligible Account ( a "Prepayment Charge
                                                               -----------------
Collection Account") into which the Servicer shall deposit all Prepayment
------------------
Charges received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall withdraw
Prepayment Charges from the Prepayment Charge Collection Account and remit them
at the written direction of the Owner twice each month, once within two Business
Days after the end of the preceding calendar month, and again within two
Business Days after the tenth (10/th/) day of the month. The Servicer shall be
entitled to all interest on amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Charge
Collection Account. The Servicer shall make deposits to, but shall not be
entitled to make any withdrawal from, the Prepayment Charge Collection Account
except as expressly contemplated hereby.

     (d) The Servicer's duties shall include collecting, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, all Prepayment Charges payable in respect in such Mortgage Loan,
and depositing such amounts in the Prepayment Charge Collection Account within
one (1) Business Day after receipt of available funds in respect thereof. The
Servicer shall carry out its obligations hereunder in a manner consistent with
prudent industry practice, using that degree of care, skill and diligence that
the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable loans that it services for
itself and others and in respect of which it owns the right to receive fees,
penalty and other amounts payable in connection with the payment of such loans
prior to their scheduled maturity.

     (e) Without the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not,
except as required by law, amend, modify or waive any of the Prepayment Charges;
provided that the Servicer may waive any Prepayment Charge if (A) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (B) such waiver
relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds on the
related Mortgage Loan taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge
and the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall not enforce any Prepayment
Charge (x) with respect to a payoff occurring later than the fifth anniversary
of the date of the related Mortgage Loan, (y) in an amount greater than six
months' interest on the original principal balance of the related note, or (z)
in an amount greater than 5% of the original principal balance of the related
note. If the Servicer waives a Prepayment Penalty in violation of this
paragraph,

the Servicer shall promptly deposit the amount of the Prepayment Penalty into
the Prepayment Charge Collection Account.

     (f) The Servicer shall, at all times while performing its duties and
obligations hereunder, comply with all applicable laws and regulations,
including but not limited to, laws and regulations pertaining to financing,
licensing, sales, debt collection, consumer protection, disclosure, credit
reporting, usury, any applicable civil and commercial code, foreclosure,
repossession, record retention, bribery and financial privacy. The Servicer
shall obtain and maintain all licenses and qualifications required to enable the
Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder from time to time.

     (g) The Owner and its designees shall have the right (at the Owner's
expense) to examine and audit, upon prior reasonable notice to the Servicer,
during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under the
circumstances, any and all documents related to the Prepayment Charges or books,
records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, which relate to the
administration thereof hereunder or the performance by the Servicer of its
obligations hereunder. Such access shall be afforded at the Servicer's place of
business, and the Owner and its respective designees shall have the right to
make copies or extracts of any such books, records and documents. Any
investigation or review of such books and records shall be conducted in a manner
which does not unreasonably impair the Servicer's ability to meet its
obligations hereunder.

     (h) The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner such reports as are currently
available from the Servicer's system, and such other reports in such form and
containing such substance as the Owner reasonably determines are necessary for
it to track and monitor the collection of Prepayment Charges.

     (i) The Servicer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent
of the Owner, (i) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of the
Owner or any Affiliate of the Owner, nor any trade name, trademark, trade
device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation
thereof owned by the Owner or any of its Affiliates or (ii) represent, directly
or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by the Servicer has been
approved or endorsed by the Owner or any of its Affiliates.

     (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances
may the Owner effect the termination of the Servicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, or designate any replacement Servicer or the manner of
engaging a successor following a termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
be subject to termination as Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
pursuant to the terms thereof subject to Section 5.14(c). No party other than
                                         ---------------
the Servicer shall have any obligations to the Owner, and the Owner shall have
no rights or recourse against the Trust Fund, the Certificate Insurer, or any
party other than the Servicer.
