to which the Seller has received service of process or, to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Seller which litigation, proceeding

         Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian,
any Subservicer, any Owner, the Seller, the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee
(each, for purposes of this paragraph, a "party") of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or the interests of the
Insurer, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that within sixty (60)
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, it shall cure such
breach in all material respects or, with respect to a breach of clause (g)
above, the Seller may (or may cause an affiliate of the Seller to) on or prior
to the second Monthly Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery or receipt
of notice (i) substitute in lieu of any Home Equity Loan not in compliance with
clause (g) above a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and, if the outstanding
principal amount of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage as of the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date is less than the outstanding principal balance of such
Home Equity Loan as of such Replacement Cut-Off Date, deliver an amount (a
"Substitution Amount") equal to such difference together with the aggregate
amount of (A) all Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances theretofore made
with respect to such Home Equity Loan and (B) all accrued and unpaid interest
with respect to such Home Equity Loan to the Servicer for deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan from the
Trust at the Loan Purchase Price, which purchase price shall be delivered to the
Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Seller shall
deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
concurrently with the delivery of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage pursuant to
Sections 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07(b) stating that such Home Equity Loan meets the
requirements of the definition of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and that all
other conditions to the substitution thereof have been satisfied. Any Home
Equity Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this
Section shall be repurchased or substituted for (subject to compliance with
Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.07(b), as the case may be) upon the earlier of (a) the
occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Home Equity
Loan and (b) receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

         Section 2.05 Covenants of Seller to Take Certain Actions with Respect
to the Home Equity Loans in Certain Situations.

         (a) Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Insurer, any Subservicer, any Owner, the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee that
the representations and warranties set forth in clause (b) below were untrue in
any material respect, without regard to any limitation set forth therein
concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein as of the
Startup Day (or in the case of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage, as of the
respective replacement date) with the result that the interests of the Owners or
of the Insurer in the related Home Equity Loan are, or may be, materially and
adversely affected, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties. Upon the earliest to occur of the Seller's
discovery, its receipt of notice of breach from any one of the other parties or
such time as a situation resulting from an existing statement which is untrue
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the Insurer,
without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of
the Seller as to the facts stated therein, the Seller hereby covenants and
warrants that it shall promptly cure such breach in all material respects or
subject to the last three sentences of Section 2.04 it shall on or before the
second Monthly Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery, receipt of notice
or such time (i) substitute in lieu of each Home Equity Loan which has given
rise to the requirement for action by the Seller a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan from the
Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which
purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal
and Interest Account; provided, however, that if the Seller can establish to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it is diligently pursuing remedial
action, the period of time in which the Seller must substitute a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage or purchase such Home Equity Loan may be extended with the
written approval of the Insurer. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of the Seller so to substitute or purchase any Home Equity Loan as to which such
a statement set forth below is untrue in any material respect and has not been
remedied shall constitute the sole remedy respecting a discovery of any such
statement which is untrue in any material respect in this Section 2.05 available
to the Owners and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Owners.

                                       39

         (b) The Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Insurer and the Owners that

Qualified Replacement Mortgage):

                  (i) The information with respect to each Home Equity Loan set

         Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on the Startup Day or as
         otherwise provided in Section 2.06. To the Seller's best knowledge, no
         documentation contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
         to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
         misleading;

                  (iii) Each Home Equity Loan being transferred to the Trust is
         a Qualified Mortgage or Qualified Replacement Mortgage and is a
         Mortgage;

                  (iv) Each Property is a fee simple estate in a single parcel
         of real property improved by a single family residential dwelling
         (except for [___] and [___] Home Equity Loans in the amount of
         $[__________] and $[__________], respectively, that are condominiums,
         townhouses, manufactured housing, two-to-four family residential
         dwellings or PUDs), and no more than [____]% and [____]%, respectively,
         of the Home Equity Loans are secured Properties that are Manufactured
         Homes, each of which is considered to be real property under the
         applicable local law;

                  (v) As of the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as

         bears a current Coupon Rate of at least [___]% per annum, the Note

<PAGE>

                  (viii) Each Note with respect to the Home Equity Loans will
         provide for a schedule of substantially level and equal Monthly
         Payments (or periodic rate adjustments in the case of the Home Equity
         Loans in Group III), which are sufficient to amortize fully the
         principal balance of such Note on or before its maturity date, except
         for [___] Home Equity Loans representing approximately [___]% of the
         aggregate Principal Balance of the Home Equity Loans in Group [__] as
         of the Cut-Off Date which may provide for a "balloon" payment due at
         the end of the 15th year and no Home Equity Loan is a graduated payment
         loan;

                  (ix) As of the Startup Day, each Mortgage is a valid and
         enforceable first or second lien of record (or is in the process of
         being recorded) on the Property subject in the case of any Second
         Mortgage Loan only to a Senior Lien on such Property and subject in all
         cases to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance
         policy or attorney's opinion of title, with respect to the related Home
         Equity Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to banking
         institutions in connection with their regular mortgage lending
         activities, 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;

                  (x) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the
         Home Equity Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor
         to the Indenture Trustee herein contemplated, the Seller and the
         Depositor, as the case may be, held good and indefeasible title to, and
         was the sole owner of, each Home Equity Loan (including the related
         Note) conveyed by the Seller subject to no liens, charges, mortgages,
         encumbrances or rights of others except as set forth in clause (ix) or
         other liens which will be released simultaneously with such transfer
         and assignment; and immediately upon the transfer and assignment herein
         contemplated, the Indenture Trustee will hold good and indefeasible
         title to, and be the sole owner of, each Home Equity Loan subject to no
         liens, charges, mortgages, encumbrances or rights of others except as
         set forth in paragraph (ix) or other liens which will be released
         simultaneously with such transfer and assignment;

                  (xi) As of the Cut-Off Date, approximately [___]% of the Home

         more than 59 days Delinquent);

                  (xii) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, there is no
         delinquent tax or assessment lien on any Property, and each Property is
         free of substantial damage and is in good repair;

                  (xiii) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, there is no
         valid and enforceable right of offset, claim, defense or counterclaim

         Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Note nor
         has any such claim, defense, offset or counterclaim been asserted;

                  (xiv) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, there is no
         mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or material affecting any
         Property which is or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of
         the related Mortgage except those which are insured against by any
         title insurance policy referred to in paragraph (xvi) below;

                                       41
<PAGE>

                  (xv) Each Home Equity Loan at the time it was made complied in
         all material respects with applicable state and federal laws and
         regulations, including, without limitation, the federal
         Truth-in-Lending Act (as amended by the Riegle Community Development
         and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994) and other consumer protection
         laws, usury, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and recording laws;

                  (xvi) With respect to each Home Equity Loan either (a) if a
         title insurance policy is not available in the applicable state, an
         attorney's opinion of title has been obtained but no title policy has
         been obtained, or (b) a lender's title insurance policy, issued in
         standard American Land Title Association form by a title insurance
         company authorized to transact business in the state in which the
         related Property is situated, in an amount at least equal to the
         original balance of such Home Equity Loan together, in the case of a
         Second Mortgage Loan, with the then-original principal amount of the
         mortgage note relating to the Senior Lien, insuring the mortgagee's
         interest under the related Home Equity Loan as the holder of a valid
         first or second mortgage lien of record on the real Property described
         in the related Mortgage, as the case may be, subject only to exceptions
         of the character referred to in paragraph (ix) above, was effective on
         the date of the origination of such Home Equity Loan, and, as of the
         Startup Day, such policy is valid and thereafter such policy shall
         continue in full force and effect;

                  (xvii) The improvements upon each Property are covered by a
         valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally
         acceptable to the Servicer that provides for fire and extended coverage
         representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding
         principal balance of the related Home Equity Loan (together, in the
         case of a Second Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal balance
         of the Senior Lien), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for
         damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the full insurable
         value of the Property;

                  (xviii) If any Property is in an area identified in the
         Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
         special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
         requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
         Administration is in effect with respect to such Property with a
         carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer in an amount representing
         coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal
         balance of the related Home Equity Loan (together, in the case of a
         Second Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal balance of the
         Senior Lien), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage
         or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the maximum amount of
         insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of

                  (xix) Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note are the legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the maker thereof and are enforceable in
         accordance with their 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 Home Equity
         Loan had full legal capacity to execute all documents relating to such
         Home Equity Loan and convey the estate therein purported to be

         process of being recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the
         original Mortgage have been delivered for recordation or have been
         recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is
         necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of or
         purchasers from the Seller (or, subject to Section 2.06 hereof, are in
         the process of being recorded); each Mortgage and assignment of
         Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under
         the laws of the jurisdiction in which the property securing such
         Mortgage is located;

                  (xxiii) The terms of each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage have
         not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except
         by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to
         protect the interest of the Owners and the Insurer and which has been
         delivered to the Indenture Trustee. The substance of any such waiver,
         alteration or modification is reflected on the related Schedule of Home
         Equity Loans;

                  (xxiv) The proceeds of each Home Equity Loan have been 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
         such Home Equity Loans were paid and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
         any refund of any amounts paid or due under the related Mortgage Note
         or Mortgage;

                  (xxv) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been
         secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the
         lien of the corresponding Mortgage;

                                       43

                  (xxvi) No Home Equity Loan has a shared appreciation feature,
         or other contingent interest feature;

                  (xxvii) Each Property is located in the state identified in
         the respective Schedule of Home Equity Loans and consists of one or
         more parcels of real property with a residential dwelling erected
         thereon;

                  (xxviii) Each Mortgage contains a provision for the
         acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
         related Home Equity Loan in the event the related Property is sold
         without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

                  (xxix) Any advances made after the date of origination of a
         Home Equity Loan but prior to the Cut-Off Date have been consolidated
         with the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage,
         and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single
         interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the respective
         Schedule of Home Equity Loans. The consolidated principal amount does
         not exceed the original principal amount of the related Home Equity
         Loan. No Mortgage Note permits or obligates the Servicer to make future
         advances to the related Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor;

                  (xxx) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, there is no
         proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
         of any Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring, and each
         Property is undamaged by waste, fire, water, flood, earthquake, earth
         movement or other casualty;

                  (xxxi) All of the improvements which were included for the
         purposes of determining the Appraised Value of any Property lie wholly
         within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property,
         and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such
         Property, and are stated in the title insurance policy and
         affirmatively insured;

                  (xxxii) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, no
         improvement located on or being part of any Property is in violation of
         any applicable zoning law or regulation. All inspections, licenses and
         certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
         portions of each Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of
         the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and
         fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
         appropriate authorities and such Property is lawfully occupied under
         the applicable law;

                  (xxxiii) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
         trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
         has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
         such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
         the Owners or the Trust to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
         in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the related
         Mortgagor;

                                       44
<PAGE>

                  (xxxiv) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
         provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
         adequate for the realization against the related Property of the
         benefits of the security, including (A) in the case of a Mortgage
         designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by
         judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption other
         than any applicable Mortgagor redemption rights available to the
         related Mortgagor which would materially interfere with the right to
         sell the related Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose
         the related Mortgage;

                  (xxxv) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
         acceleration existing under any Mortgage or the related 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
         Seller has waived any default, breach, violation or event of
         acceleration or advanced funds, directly or indirectly for the payment
         of any amount required under any Home Equity Loan;

                  (xxxvi) No instrument of release or waiver has been executed
         in connection with any Home Equity Loan, and no Mortgagor has been
         released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
         agreement which has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty
         insurer, if any, and which has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee;

                  (xxxvii) [Reserved];

                  (xxxviii)Each Home Equity Loan was underwritten in accordance
         with the credit underwriting guidelines of the Seller as set forth in
         the Seller's Policies and Procedures Manual, as in effect on the date
         hereof and such Manual conforms in all material respects to the
         description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement;

                  (xxxix) Each Home Equity Loan was originated based upon a full
         appraisal, which included an interior inspection of the subject
         property;

                  (xl) The Home Equity Loans were not selected for inclusion in
         the Trust by the Seller on any basis intended to adversely affect the
         Trust or the Insurer;

                  (xli) No more than [___]% and [___]% of the aggregate
         Principal Balance of the Home Equity Loans in Group I, Group II and
         Group III, respectively, are secured by Properties that are non-owner
         occupied Properties (i.e., investor-owned and vacation);

                  (xlii) The Seller has no actual knowledge that there exist any
         hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms
         are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
         and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976,
         or other federal, state or local environmental legislation on any
         Property, and no violations of any local, state or federal
         environmental law, rule or regulation exist with respect to any
         Property;

                                       45
<PAGE>

                  (xliii) The Seller (and the originator, if not the Seller) was
         properly licensed or otherwise authorized, to the extent required by
         applicable law, to originate or purchase each Home Equity Loan; and the
         consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, including,
         without limitation, the receipt of interest by the Owners and the
         ownership of the Home Equity Loans by the Indenture Trustee as trustee
         of the Trust will not involve the violation of such laws;

                  (xliv) With respect to each Property subject to a ground lease
         (i) the current ground lessor has been identified and all ground rents
         which have previously become due and owing have been paid; (ii) the
         ground lease term extends, or is automatically renewable, for at least
         five years beyond the maturity date of the related Home Equity Loan;
         (iii) the ground lease has been duly executed and recorded; (iv) the
         amount of the ground rent and any increases therein are clearly
         identified in the lease and are for predetermined amounts at
         predetermined times; (v) the ground rent payment is included in the
         borrower's monthly payment as an expense item in determining the
         qualification of the borrower for such Home Equity Loan; (vi) the Trust
         has the right to cure defaults on the ground lease; and (vii) the terms
         and conditions of the leasehold do not prevent the free and absolute
         marketability of the Property. As of the Cut-Off Date, the Principal
         Balance of the Home Equity Loans with related Properties subject to
         ground leases does not exceed [___]% of the Original Aggregate
         Principal Balance;

                  (xlv) As of the Startup Day, with respect to any Second
         Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received a notice of default of any
         Senior Lien secured by any Property which has not been cured by a party
         other than the Seller;

                  (xlvi) No Home Equity Loan is subject to a rate reduction

         calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day
         months;

                  (xlix) Each Home Equity Loan was originated by the Seller, an
         affiliate of the Seller or a broker for simultaneous assignment to the
         Seller;

                  (l) Neither the operation of any of the terms of each Note and
         each Mortgage nor the exercise of any right thereunder will render
         either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, nor
         subject it to any right of rescission, claim set-off, counterclaim or
         defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury;

                  (li) Any adjustment to the Coupon Rate on a Home Equity Loan
         in Group III has been legal, proper and in accordance with the terms of

         Loans or the Replacement Cut-Off Date with respect to the Qualified
         Replacement Mortgages, a portion of the Home Equity Loans are
         "mortgages" as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1602(aa), and with respect to each
         such Home Equity Loan, no Mortgagor has or will have a claim or defense
         under such Home Equity Loan;

                  (lv) [Reserved];

                  (lvi) The rights with respect to each Home Equity Loan are
         assignable by the Seller without the consent of any Person other than
         consents which will have been obtained on or before the Startup Day;

                  (lvii) The Seller has duly fulfilled all obligations to be
         fulfilled on the lender's part under or in connection with the
         origination, acquisition and assignment of the Home Equity Loans and
         the related Mortgage and Note, and has done nothing to impair the
         rights of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Owners in payments
         with respect thereto;

                  (lviii) To the Seller's knowledge, the documents, instruments

         not falsified and contain no untrue statement of a material fact and do
         not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the information and statements contained therein not
         misleading.

         [_______________].

                  (lx) The first date on which the applicable Mortgagor must
         make a payment on each Home Equity Loan is no later than
         [_____________], except with respect to [___] Home Equity Loans, which
         represent [___]% of the Original Aggregate Principal Balance as of the
         Cut-Off Date, that provide for a first payment on or after
         [_________________].

                  (lxi) With respect to each Home Equity Loan that is a Second
         Mortgage Loan:

                           (a) The related Senior Lien does not provide for
                  negative amortization.

                           (b) The Seller has not received, and is not aware of,
                  a notice of default of any Senior Lien that has not been
                  cured.

                           (c) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, no
                  funds provided to the Mortgagor from a Second Mortgage Loan
                  were concurrently used as a down payment for the Senior Lien.

                                       47

         (c) In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is delivered
by the Seller to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 2.05 or Section
2.07 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to take the actions described in
Section 2.05(a) with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage upon the
discovery by any of the Owners, the Seller, the Servicer, the Insurer, any
Subservicer, the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee that the statements set
forth in subsection (b) above are untrue in any material respect, without regard
to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to
facts stated therein, on the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is
conveyed to the Trust such that the interests of the Owners or the Insurer in
the related Qualified Replacement Mortgage are, or may be, materially and
adversely affected; provided, however, that for the purposes of this subsection
(c) the statements in subsection (b) above referring to items "as of the Cut-Off
Date" or "as of the Startup Day" shall be deemed to refer to such items as of
the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust.
Notwithstanding the fact that a representation contained in subsection (b) above
may be limited to the Seller's knowledge, such limitation shall not relieve the
Seller of its repurchase obligation under this Section and Section 2.06 hereof.

         (d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties
and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the
respective Home Equity Loans (including Qualified Replacement Mortgage) to the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

         (e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative
investigation other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement as to the
occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase or substitution of any Home
Equity Loan pursuant to this Article II or the eligibility of any Home Equity
Loan for the purpose of this Agreement.

         Section 2.06 Sale Treatment of the Home Equity Loans and Qualified
Replacement Mortgages.

         (a) The transfer by the Seller and the Depositor of the Home Equity
Loans set forth on the Schedule of Home Equity Loans to the Indenture Trustee is

         (b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Home Equity
Loans, the Depositor agrees to:

         assignments of the Mortgages to "[ ], as Indenture Trustee in trust for
         the registered holders of Renaissance Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed
         Notes Series 200[_]-[__] under the Indenture dated as of [_________]"
         to be submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions;
         provided, further, that the Seller shall not be required to record an
         assignment of a Mortgage if the Seller furnishes to the Indenture
         Trustee and the Insurer, on or before the Startup Day, at the Seller's
         expense, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the relevant
         jurisdiction that such recording is not necessary to perfect the
         Indenture Trustee's interest in the related Home Equity Loans (in form
         and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and
         the Rating Agencies); provided further, however, notwithstanding the
         delivery of any legal opinions, each assignment of Mortgage shall be
         recorded by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
         Indenture Trustee upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable

         foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, or
         (iv) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating
         to the Seller;

                  (iii) deliver the title insurance policy or title searches,
         the original Mortgages and such recorded assignments, together with
         originals or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments
         (other than unrecorded warehouse assignments), to the Custodian, on
         behalf of the Indenture Trustee, within fifteen (15) days of receipt
         thereof by the Seller (but in any event, with respect to any Mortgage
         as to which original recording information has been made available to
         the Seller, within one year after the Startup Day; and

                  (iv) furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the

         respect to the sale and perfection of the Home Equity Loans delivered
         to the Trust in form and substance satisfactory to the Insurer.

         In instances where the original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered
by the Seller to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee prior to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement due to a delay in
connection with recording, the Seller may in lieu of delivering such original
recorded Mortgage, deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee a
copy thereof, provided that the Seller certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor. In all such instances, the Seller
will deliver or cause to be delivered the original recorded Mortgage to the
Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee promptly upon receipt of the
original recorded Mortgage but in no event later than one year after the Startup
Day.

                                       49

         The Seller hereby confirms to the Indenture Trustee that it has made
the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that such
Home Equity Loans have been transferred to the Indenture Trustee and constitute
part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.06, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage, the assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the
Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Depositor and Seller shall be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage, such assignment or
assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true
copy of the recorded original thereof.

         Not later than ten days following the end of the 60-day period referred
in clause (b)(ii) above, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee, a list of all Mortgages for which no Mortgage assignment
has yet been submitted for recording by the Seller, which list shall state the
reason why the Seller has not yet submitted such Mortgage assignments for
recording. With respect to any Mortgage assignment disclosed on such list as not
yet submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of original recording
information, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall make an
immediate demand on the Seller to prepare such Mortgage assignments, and shall
inform the Insurer, in writing, of the Seller's failure to prepare such Mortgage
assignments. Thereafter, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee,
shall cooperate in executing any documents prepared by the Insurer and submitted
to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in connection with this
provision. Following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in clause
(b)(ii) above, the Seller shall promptly prepare a Mortgage assignment for any
Mortgage for which original recording information is subsequently received by
the Seller, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Mortgage assignment to the
Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. The Seller agrees that it will
follow its normal servicing procedures and attempt to obtain the original
recording information necessary to complete a Mortgage assignment. In the event
that the Seller is unable to obtain such recording information with respect to
any Mortgage prior to the end of the 18th calendar month following the Startup
Day and has not provided to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee a
Mortgage assignment with evidence of recording thereon relating to the
assignment of such Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Seller of the Seller's obligation to
provide a completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) on or before
the end of the 20th calendar month following the Startup Day. A copy of such
notice shall be sent by the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to the
Insurer. If no such completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) is
provided before the end of such 20th calendar month, the related Home Equity
Loan shall be deemed to have breached the representation contained in clause
(xxii) of Section 2.05(b) hereof; provided, however, that if as of the end of
such 20th calendar month the Seller demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Insurer that it is exercising its best efforts to obtain such completed
assignment and, during each month thereafter until such completed assignment is
delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Seller
continues to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Insurer that it is
exercising its best efforts to obtain such completed assignment, the related
Home Equity Loan will not be deemed to have breached such representation. The
requirement to deliver a completed assignment with evidence of recording thereon
will be deemed satisfied upon delivery of a copy of the completed assignment
certified by the applicable public recording office.

         (c) In the case of Home Equity Loans which have been prepaid in full on
or after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, the Seller, in lieu of
the foregoing, will deliver within six (6) days after the Startup Day to the
Indenture Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set forth

         (d) The Seller shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey

right, title and interest in and to such released Home Equity Loan and all the
Trust's right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such released
Home Equity Loan after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may
be; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and or and retain all right,
title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due on such
released Home Equity Loan prior to such repurchase or the applicable Replacement
Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.

         (f) In connection with any transfer and assignment of a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Seller
agrees to (i) deliver without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee on the date of delivery of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
the original Note relating thereto, endorsed in blank or to the order of the
Indenture Trustee, (ii) cause promptly to be recorded an assignment in the
appropriate jurisdictions, (iii) deliver the original Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and such recorded assignment, together with original or duly certified

of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage) and (iv) deliver the title insurance
policy, or where no such policy is required to be provided under Section

                                       51
<PAGE>

         (g) As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in connection
with a repurchase or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage the

of the Seller (i) the original Note relating thereto, endorsed without recourse
or representation, in blank or to the order of, to the Seller, (ii) the original

         (h) If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of recording,
or is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a defect therein,
the Seller shall prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the
case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.

         Section 2.07 Acceptance by Indenture Trustee; Certain Substitutions of
Home Equity Loans; Certification by Indenture Trustee.

         (a) The Indenture Trustee agrees to execute and deliver and to cause
the Custodian to execute and deliver on the Startup Day an acknowledgment of
receipt of the items delivered by the Seller in the forms attached as Exhibit
[__] hereto, and declares through the Custodian that it will hold such documents
and any amendments, replacement or supplements thereto, as well as any other
assets included in the definition of Trust Estate and delivered to the
Custodian, in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the
benefit of the Owners and the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Owners and the Insurer, to cause the Custodian to review such
items within forty-five (45) days after the Startup Day (or, with respect to any
document delivered after the Startup Day, within forty-five (45) days of receipt
and with respect to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage, within forty-five (45)
days after the assignment thereof) and to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller,
the Servicer and the Insurer a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit [__] (a "Pool Certification") to the effect that, as to each Home Equity
Loan listed in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans (other than any Home Equity
Loan paid in full or any Home Equity Loan specifically identified in such Pool
Certification as not covered by such Pool Certification), (i) all documents
required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) of this Agreement
have been executed and are in its possession and that the Notes have been
endorsed as set forth in Section 2.06(b)(i) hereof, (ii) such documents have
been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to
such Home Equity Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Schedule of Home Equity
Loans accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. The
Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File
except as expressly provided in this subsection 2.07(a). Without limiting the
effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any Mortgage File, the Indenture
Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is
valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment is in proper form (except
to determine if the Indenture Trustee is the assignee), whether any document has
been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction
or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but
shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that
it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports
to be recorded. The Indenture 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, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be under any duty to determine
independently whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or
modification agreements with respect to any Home Equity Loan.

                                       52
<PAGE>

         (b) If the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee during such
45-day period finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which is
not executed, has not been received, or is unrelated to the Home Equity Loans
identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, or that any Home Equity Loan
does not conform to the description thereof as set forth in the Schedule of Home
Equity Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
so notify the Depositor, the Seller, the Owners and the Insurer. In performing
any such review, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely on the Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
review of the items delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) is
limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.06(b)(i)
have been executed and received, relate to the Mortgage Files identified in the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans and conform to the description thereof in the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans. The Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to
remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File of
which it is so notified by the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.
If, however, within ninety (90) days after such notice to it respecting such
defect the Seller has not remedied the defect and the defect materially and
adversely affects the interest in the related Home Equity Loan of the Owners or
the Insurer, the Seller will (or will cause an affiliate of the Seller to) on
the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date (i) substitute in lieu of such Home
Equity Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount
to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii)
purchase such Home Equity Loan at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase
Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account.

         (c) In addition to the foregoing, the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee also agrees to make a review during the 12th month after the
Startup Day indicating the current status of the exceptions previously indicated
on the Pool Certification (the "Final Certification"). After delivery of the
Final Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer shall provide to the Insurer no less frequently than monthly updated
certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions, until all such
exceptions have been eliminated.

         Section 2.08 Custodian.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 3.11 and the related Pool Certification and Final
Certification shall be performed by the Custodian on the Indenture Trustee's
behalf pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, the Indenture
Trustee shall remain primarily liable for such obligations. The fees and
expenses of the Custodian will be paid by the Servicer.

         If, pursuant to Section [____] of the Custodial Agreement, the
Custodian shall request written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to promptly provide such instructions.

         Section 2.09 Cooperation Procedures. The Seller shall, in connection
with the delivery of each Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, provide the Indenture Trustee with information
set forth in the Schedules of Home Equity Loans with respect to such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage.

         (a) The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee
covenant to provide each other with all data and information required to be
provided by them hereunder at the times required hereunder, and additionally
covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in providing any additional
information required to be obtained by any of them in connection with their
respective duties hereunder.

         (b) The Servicer shall maintain such accurate and complete accounts,
records and computer systems pertaining to each Mortgage File as shall enable it
and the Indenture Trustee to comply with this Agreement. In performing its
record-keeping duties the Servicer shall act in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to
be conducted, periodic audits of its accounts, records and computer systems as
set forth in Sections 3.13 and 3.14 hereof. The Servicer shall promptly report
to the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to maintain its accounts,
records and computer systems herein provided and promptly take appropriate
action to remedy any such failure.

         (c) The Seller further confirms to the Indenture Trustee that it has
caused the portions of the electronic ledger relating to the Home Equity Loans
to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such Home Equity Loans
have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed through the Depositor to the
Indenture Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance with the
terms of the trust created hereunder and that the Seller will treat the
transaction contemplated by such sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance as a
sale for accounting purposes.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 3.11 and the related Pool Certification and Final
Certification shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial

                                   ARTICLE III

                ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF HOME EQUITY LOANS

         Section 3.01 The Servicer.

         (a) The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Home Equity 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 may enter into Subservicing
Agreements for any servicing and administration of Home Equity Loans with any
institution which (i) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to
enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement, (ii) (x)
has been designated an approved [Seller-]Servicer by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") for first and second home equity loans or (y) is an affiliate of the
Servicer or (z) is otherwise approved by the Insurer. The Servicer shall give
written notice to the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee prior to the
appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement and shall be in
form and substance acceptable to the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee. The
Servicer 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 Home Equity Loans or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor subservicer that qualifies hereunder.

         (b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the
servicing and administering of the Home Equity 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 Home Equity Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be
deemed to have received payments on Home Equity 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.

                                       55
<PAGE>

         (c) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Home Equity 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 Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and Noteholders and the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest 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 Section 3.01(d) herein. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Subservicer irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

         (d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Servicing Termination), the
Indenture Trustee or its designee approved by the Insurer shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing
Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Indenture Trustee
or designee approved by the Insurer elects to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Subservicing Agreement. Each
Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be
immediately terminated by the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee in the event that
the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to an Event of Servicing Termination). In no event shall any
Subservicing Agreement require the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee as Successor
Servicer to pay compensation to a Subservicer or order the termination of such
Subservicer. Any fee payable or expense incurred in connection with such a
termination will be payable by the outgoing Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee
does not terminate a Subservicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, its designee
or the successor servicer for the Indenture 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 with regard to events that occurred prior to the date
the Servicer ceased to be the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense
and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon the request of the
Indenture Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Home Equity 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.

         (e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Home Equity 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 indulgence is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Noteholders, the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest and the Insurer, provided, however, that (unless (x) the Mortgagor is
in default with respect to the Home Equity Loan, or such default is, in the
judgment of the Servicer, imminent, (y) with respect to any modification
lowering the Coupon Rate or effecting the forgiveness of any amount owed under
the Mortgage Note, or extending the final maturity date on such Home Equity
Loan, the Insurer has consented to such modification and (z) such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence would not cause a tax to be imposed on
the Trust) the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Home
Equity Loan that would change the Coupon Rate, defer or forgive the payment of
any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the
related Home Equity Loan) or extend the final maturity date on the Home Equity
Loan. No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of
Servicing Advances shall, for the purposes of distributions to Noteholders, be
added to the amount owing under the related Home Equity Loan. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee and each Noteholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments with
respect to the Home Equity Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
If reasonably required by the Servicer and requested in writing, the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and, if directed by the Servicer, any
Subservicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer and any such Subservicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

                                       56
<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Servicer, in servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans, shall employ or
cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO
management procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs
and exercises in servicing and administering home equity loans for its own
account, in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent
lending institutions servicing home equity loans similar to the Home Equity
Loans and giving due consideration to the Insurer's and the Trust's reliance on
the Servicer.

         (f) On and after such time as the Indenture Trustee receives the
resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, if it so elects, and
with the consent of the Insurer, shall assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 herein. The Servicer shall, upon
request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to
the Indenture Trustee, all documents and records relating to the Home Equity
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) The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer on or before the Closing Date and shall revise
such list from time to time, as appropriate, and shall deliver all revisions
promptly to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

         (h) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may
consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related
Mortgaged Property; provided that such senior lien secures a home equity loan
that refinances a First Lien and the combined loan-to-value ratio of the related
Home Equity Loan immediately following the refinancing (based on the outstanding
principal balance of the Home Equity Loan and the original principal balance of
such refinanced home equity loan) is not greater than the Combined Loan-to-Value
Ratio of such Home Equity Loan as of the related Cut-Off Date.

         Section 3.02 Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.

                                       57
<PAGE>

         The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the
terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy, follow collection
procedures for all Home Equity Loans as it follows with respect to home equity
loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Home Equity Loans. Consistent
with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be
waived any late payment charge, prepayment charge, assumption fee or any penalty
interest in connection with the prepayment of a Home Equity Loan or any other
fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as
servicing compensation. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment
of the due dates for payments due on a Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make
payment of any required Delinquency Advance 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, and shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.

         Section 3.03 Principal and Interest Account.

         (a) The Servicer shall establish an account, which includes three
separate subaccounts into which amounts in respect of each Group will be
separately deposited and maintained (the "Principal and Interest Account"). The
Principal and Interest Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Principal and
Interest Account shall be titled: "[________________], as Indenture Trustee in
trust for the registered holders of Renaissance Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed
Notes and the Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the
Ownership Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 200[_]-[__] Principal
and Interest Account." If the institution at any time holding the Principal and
Interest Account ceases to be eligible as a Designated Depository Institution
hereunder, then the Servicer shall immediately be required to name a successor
institution meeting the requirements for a Designated Depository Institution
hereunder. If the Servicer fails to name such a successor institution, then the
Principal and Interest Account shall thenceforth be held as a trust account with
a qualifying Designated Depository Institution selected by the Indenture
Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the
Owners if there is a change in the name, account number or institution holding
the Principal and Interest Account.

         (b) Subject to Subsection (c) below, the Servicer shall deposit all
receipts required pursuant to Subsection (c) below and related to the Home
Equity Loans to the Principal and Interest Account on a daily basis (but no
later than the second Business Day after receipt). All funds in the Principal
and Interest Account shall be held and invested as set forth in Section 5.06
hereof.

         (c) The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest Account no
later than the second Business Day after receipt, all principal collected and
interest due on the Home Equity Loans (net of the Servicing Fee related to such
Home Equity Loans) on and after the Cut-Off Date and the Replacement Cut-Off
Date, as applicable, including any Prepayments and Net Liquidation Proceeds,
other recoveries or amounts related to the Home Equity Loans received by the
Servicer and any income from REO Properties, but net of (i) Net Liquidation
Proceeds to the extent such Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the sum of (a) the
Principal Balance of the related Home Equity Loan immediately prior to
liquidation, plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Home Equity Loan (net
of the related Servicing Fee) and (c) any unrecovered Cram Down Losses, (ii)
reimbursements for unreimbursed Delinquency Advances (but solely from amounts
received on the related Home Equity Loan) and (iii) reimbursements for amounts
deposited in the Principal and Interest Account representing payments of
principal and/or interest on a Note by a Mortgagor which are subsequently
returned by a depository institution as unpaid.

         (d) The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Principal and Interest
Account, with respect to each Home Equity Group, only in the following priority
and for the following purposes:

                  (A) on each Monthly Remittance Date, to pay itself the related
         Servicing Fees to the extent such Servicing Fees are not retained by
         the Servicer;

                  (B) to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in
         the Principal and Interest Account;

                  (C) to withdraw amounts that have been deposited to the
         Principal and Interest Account in error;

                  (D) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 3.04 for
         unrecovered Delinquency Advances and unrecovered Servicing Advances (in
         each case, solely from amounts recovered on the related Home Equity
         Loan);

                  (E) Nonrecoverable Advances; and

                  (F) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account
         following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX;

                  (i) The Servicer shall (a) remit to the Indenture Trustee for
         deposit in the Distribution Account by wire transfer, or otherwise make
         funds available in immediately available funds, without duplication,
         the Monthly Remittance Amount allocable to a Remittance Period not
         later than the related Monthly Remittance Date, and (b) on each Monthly
         Remittance Date, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and
         the Insurer, a monthly servicing report, with respect to each Home
         Equity Group, containing (without limitation) the following
         information: principal and interest collected in respect of the Home
         Equity Loans, scheduled principal and interest that was due on the Home
         Equity Loans, relevant information with respect to Liquidated Loans, if
         any, summary and detailed delinquency reports, Liquidation Proceeds and
         other similar information concerning the servicing of the Home Equity
         Loans and any other information requested by the Insurer (including,
         without limitation, a liquidation report with respect to each
         Liquidated Loan). In addition, the Servicer shall inform the Indenture
         Trustee and the Insurer on each Monthly Remittance Date, with respect
         to each Home Equity Group, of the amounts of any Loan Purchase Prices
         or Substitution Amounts so remitted during the related Remittance
         Period, and of the Principal Balance of the Home Equity Loan having the
         largest Principal Balance as of such date.

                  (ii) The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee the
         information described in Section 3.03(d)(i)(b) and in Section 5.03 to
         enable the Indenture Trustee to perform its reporting requirements
         under Section 5.03 and to make the allocations and disbursements set
         forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.04.

         Section 3.04 Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.

         (a) On or before each Monthly Remittance Date, the Servicer shall be
required to remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit to the Distribution
Account out of the Servicer's own funds or from collections on any Home Equity
Loans that are not required to be distributed on the Distribution Date occurring
during the month in which such remittance is made (all or any portion of such
amount to be replaced on future Monthly Remittance Dates to the extent required
for distribution) any Delinquent payment of interest with respect to each
Delinquent Home Equity Loan, which payment was not received on or prior to the
last day of the related Remittance Period. Such amounts of the Servicer's own
funds so deposited are "Delinquency Advances".

         The Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself on any Business Day
for any Delinquency Advances paid from the Servicer's own funds, from late
collections on the related Home Equity Loan or as provided in Section 5.01.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Servicer
determines in its reasonable business judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set out herein that any proposed Delinquency Advance would not be
recoverable, the Servicer shall not be required to make Delinquency Advances
with respect to such Home Equity Loan. To the extent that the Servicer
previously has made Delinquency Advances with respect to a Home Equity Loan that
the Servicer subsequently determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate Nonrecoverable Advances
from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account. The Servicer shall give written notice of such determination
as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer; the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to
the Transferor with respect to the Transferor Interest; provided, further, that
the Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances
from Liquidation Proceeds for the related Home Equity Loan.

         (b) The Servicer will pay all "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses
incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not
limited to, (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) the cost of any enforcement or
judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the cost of the management
and liquidation of REO Property, (iv) advances required by Section 3.10, except
to the extent that such amounts are determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
business judgment not to be recoverable and (v) expenses incurred pursuant to
Section 7.01. Such costs will constitute "Servicing Advances". The Servicer may
recover a Servicing Advance (x) from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by
the Home Equity Loans or, if not theretofore recovered from the Mortgagor on
whose behalf such Servicing Advance was made, from Liquidation Proceeds realized
upon the liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan and (y) as provided in
Section 5.01. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Servicing Advances
from the Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan prior to the
payment of the Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. In no
case may the Servicer recover Servicing Advances from the principal and interest
payments on any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in Section 5.01.

         Section 3.05 Compensating Interest; Repurchase of Home Equity Loans.

         (a) If a Prepayment in full of a Home Equity Loan or a Prepayment of at
least six times a Mortgagor's Monthly Payment occurs during any calendar month,
any shortfall between (x) the interest collected from the Mortgagor in
connection with such payoff, and (y) the full months interest at the Coupon Rate
that would be due on the related Due Date for such Home Equity Loan
("Compensating Interest") (but not in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fee for
the related Remittance Period) shall be deposited by the Servicer to the
Principal and Interest Account (or if such difference is an excess, the Servicer
shall retain such excess) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date and
shall be included in the Monthly Remittance Amount to be made available to the
Indenture Trustee on such Monthly Remittance Date. The Servicer may recover any
unreimbursed payments of Compensating Interest as provided in Section 5.01.

         (b) Subject to the clause (c) below, the Servicer has the right and the
option, but not the obligation, to purchase for its own account any Home Equity
Loan which becomes a 60-Day Delinquent Loan, or any Home Equity Loan as to which
enforcement proceedings have been brought by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.10. Any such Home Equity Loan so purchased shall be purchased by the Servicer
on or prior to a Monthly Remittance Date at a purchase price equal to the Loan
Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account.

         (c) If a Home Equity Loan to be purchased by the Servicer pursuant to
clause (b) above, is the greatest number of days Delinquent of all then
Delinquent Home Equity Loans (including Home Equity Loans relating to REO
Property), the Servicer may purchase such Home Equity Loan without having first
notified the Insurer of such purchase. In all other cases, the Servicer must
notify the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee, in writing, of its intent to
purchase a Home Equity Loan and the Servicer may not purchase such Home Equity
Loan without the written consent of the Insurer.

         (d) The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the disposition of any REO
Property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted
to the Indenture Trustee as part of the Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by
the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee.

         Section 3.06 Maintenance of Insurance.

                                       61
<PAGE>

         (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Home
Equity Loan a hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally acceptable to the
Servicer that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides for a
recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan in
an amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of
the Home Equity Loan (plus the related senior lien loan, if any), (ii) the
minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis and (iii) the full insurable value of the premises. The Servicer shall
maintain the insurance policies required hereunder in the name of the mortgagee,
its successors and assigns, and shall be named as loss payee. The policies shall
require the insurer to provide the mortgagee with thirty (30) days' notice prior
to any cancellation or as otherwise required by law. As an alternative to
maintaining a hazard insurance policy with respect to each Home Equity Loan, the
Servicer may maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy or policies if the
insurer or insurers of such policies are rated investment grade by Moody's and
Standard & Poor's.

         (b) If the Home Equity Loan at the time of origination (or if required
by federal law, at any time thereafter) relates to a Mortgaged Property in an
area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained
with respect thereto a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements
of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a
carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer in an amount representing coverage,
and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to
such Home Equity Loan of not less than the least of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related senior lien loan, if
any), (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The Servicer shall
indemnify the Trust and the Insurer out of the Servicer's own funds for any loss
to the Trust or the Insurer resulting from the Servicer's failure to advance
premiums for such insurance required by this Section when so permitted by the
terms of the Mortgage as to which such loss relates.

         (c) Amounts collected by the Servicer under any Insurance Policies
shall be deposited into the Principal and Interest Account.

         Section 3.07 [Reserved].

         Section 3.08 [Reserved].

         Section 3.09 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements.

         When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall (except as provided below), to the extent it has
knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of the related Home Equity Loan under any "due-on-sale"
clause contained in the related Mortgage or 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, or
the Servicer, in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial practice, and
only if the Servicer reasonably believes assumption by the purchaser would not
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Owners or of the Insurer,
permits the purchaser of the related Mortgaged Property to assume such Home
Equity Loan. An Opinion of Counsel, provided at the expense of the Servicer, to
the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such
belief. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and
modification 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
Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage documents, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under
applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such person is substituted as Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Note; provided, however, that to the extent any such
substitution of liability agreement would be delivered by the Servicer outside
of its usual procedures for home equity loans held in its own portfolio the
Servicer shall, prior to executing and delivering such agreement, obtain the
prior written consent of the Insurer. The Home Equity Loan, as assumed, shall
conform in all material respects to the requirements, representations and
warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee
that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Indenture Trustee or to the Custodian on the Indenture
Trustee's behalf the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement
(indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by
the Indenture Trustee or by the Custodian on the Indenture Trustee's behalf to
the related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for
recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any
such assumption or substitution agreement, no material term of the Home Equity
Loan (including, without limitation, the required monthly payment on the related
Home Equity Loan, the stated maturity, the outstanding principal amount or the
Coupon Rate) shall be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of
principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer
or the Subservicer 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.

                                       62
<PAGE>

         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
Home Equity Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

         Section 3.10 Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans; Workout of
Home Equity Loans.

         (a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably effect
the ownership in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust of
Properties relating to defaulted Home Equity Loans as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and which the
Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section 3.05. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with its
servicing standards, including, but not limited to, advancing funds for the
payment of taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior Liens, and insurance
premiums. Any amounts so advanced shall constitute "Servicing Advances" within
the meaning of Section 3.04 hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such
extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and
may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Owners,
rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Owners for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous substances,
hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental
legislation, on a Mortgaged Property in determining whether to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Property. If the
Servicer has actual knowledge of any environmental or hazardous waste risk with
respect to the Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring
in foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer will cause an
environmental inspection of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the
servicing standards set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall not take any
such action with respect to any Mortgaged Property known by the Servicer to
contain such wastes or substances or to be within one mile of the site of such
wastes or substances, without the prior written consent of the Insurer.

                                       63
<PAGE>

         (b) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted Home
Equity Loan, when it has recovered, whether through Indenture Trustee's sale,
foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on
account of such defaulted Home Equity Loan, whereupon such Home Equity Loan
shall become a "Liquidated Loan" and the Servicer shall promptly submit a
liquidation report to the Insurer in form acceptable to the Insurer.

         (c) The Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or
amendment of any provision of any Home Equity Loan unless, in the Servicer's
good faith judgment, such modification, waiver or amendment would minimize the
loss that might otherwise be experienced with respect to such Home Equity Loan
and only in the event of a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan
or in the event that a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan is
reasonably foreseeable by the Servicer; provided, however, that no such
modification, waiver or amendment shall extend the maturity date of such Home
Equity Loan beyond the Remittance Period related to the Final Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding anything set out in this Section 3.10(c) or elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be permitted to modify, waive or
amend any provision of a Home Equity Loan if required by statute or a court of
competent jurisdiction to do so.

         (d) The Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage based on
the delinquency characteristics as of the Startup Day; provided, that the
foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings
on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage including
delinquency characteristics in the Servicer's discretion so warrant such action.

         Section 3.11 Indenture Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

         (a) Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan (including any
liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or otherwise), 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 shall deliver to the
Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, a written request of the Servicer
signed by an Authorized Officer which states the purpose of the release of a
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such written request, the Custodian, on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File, in
trust, in its reasonable discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or
(iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Indenture Trustee. Upon any such
payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been
placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for
the Indenture Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the
Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full, it
being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or to the Indenture Trustee. In
lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the
Servicer may prepare and submit to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee, a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if requested by the
Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by the Indenture
Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such event,
the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall execute and acknowledge
such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with
the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.

         (b) The Servicer shall have the right (upon receiving the prior written
consent of the Insurer) to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i)
partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations and (iii) removal, demolition or
division of properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall
be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the provisions of the related Note and
Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income
ratio after any release does not exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio and
debt-to-income ratio of such Note on the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off
Date, as applicable, and any increase in the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not
exceed [___]% unless approved in writing by the Insurer; and (z) the lien
priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Indenture
Trustee of an Officer's Certificate executed on behalf of the Servicer setting
forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Home Equity
Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A
proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany
any Officer's Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
The Servicer shall notify the Insurer and the Rating Agencies if an application
is approved under clause (y) above without approval in writing by the Insurer.

                                       65
<PAGE>

         (c) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Home
Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable
conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable Home Equity
Loan Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer, promptly upon a written request of the Servicer signed by
an Authorized Officer, which states the purpose of the release of a Mortgage
File; provided, however, that no more than [___]% of the outstanding Home Equity
Loans (by number) shall be released to the Servicer at any time. Such receipt
shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee
when the need therefore by the Servicer no longer exists.

         (d) In all cases where the Servicer needs the Indenture Trustee to sign
any document or to release a Mortgage File within a particular period of time,
the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee by
telephone of such need and the Indenture Trustee shall thereon use its best
efforts to comply with the Servicer's needs, but in any event will comply within
two Business Days of such request.

         (e) No costs associated with the procedures described in this Section
3.11 shall be an expense of the Trust.

         Section 3.12 Servicing Compensation.

         As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain the amount of the related Servicing Fee with respect to each
Home Equity Loan. Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment
charges, release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, late payment charges,
prepayment penalties, or any other servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation
Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
pursuant to Section 3.03 and similar items may, to the extent collected from
Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer, unless a successor Servicer is
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, in which case the successor Servicer
shall be entitled to such fees as are agreed upon by the Indenture Trustee, the
Insurer and the successor Servicer.

         The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole
or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

         Section 3.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

         The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies, on or before
[________] [___] of each year, commencing in [____], an Officer's Certificate
stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during such preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default
known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps
being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.

                                       66
<PAGE>

         The Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the
Insurer and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge
thereof but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written
notice by means of an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time would become a Servicer Termination Event.

         Section 3.14 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Reports.

         On or before [________] [___] of each year, commencing in [____], the
Servicer, at its own expense (or if the Indenture Trustee is then acting as
Servicer, at the expense of the Seller, which in no event shall exceed $[_____]
per annum), shall cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer,
the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies a letter or letters of a firm of
independent, nationally recognized certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Insurer stating that such firm has examined the Servicer's
overall servicing operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and stating such firm's
conclusions relating thereto.

         Section 3.15 [Reserved].

         Section 3.16 Assignment of Agreement.

         Other than with respect to entering into Subservicing Agreements
pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the Servicer may not assign its obligations
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have first obtained
the written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, which such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any assignee must
meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 7.01 hereof for a
successor servicer.

         Section 3.17 Inspections by Insurer; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

         (a) At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
notice, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, [the Transferor], or any agents
thereof may inspect the Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the
servicing operations of the Servicer during the Servicer's normal business hours
with any of its officers or directors; provided, however, that the costs and
expenses incurred by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection
with any such examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer.

         (b) The Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee if it shall become
the Servicer hereunder) agrees to maintain errors and omissions coverage and a
fidelity bond, each at least to the extent required by Section 305 of Part I of
FNMA Guide or any successor provision thereof; provided, however, that in any
event that the fidelity bond or the errors and omissions coverage is no longer
in effect, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee shall promptly give such notice to the Insurer and the Owners.

<PAGE>

         Section 3.18 Additional Servicing Responsibilities for Second Mortgage
Loans.

         The Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of
any action by a superior lienholder under a superior lien for the protection of
the Indenture Trustee's interest, where permitted by local law and whenever
applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a
party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior
lienholder's equity of redemption.

         If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has
accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations under a First Mortgage
Loan, 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, on
behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of
the Owners and the Insurer, and/or to preserve the security of the related Home
Equity Loan. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default
or reinstate the lien securing a First Mortgage Loan, if such advance is in the
best interests of the Insurer and the Owners; provided, however, that no such
additional advance need be made if such advance would be nonrecoverable from
Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall
thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.
Any expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be
Servicing Advances.

         Section 3.19 The Group III Home Equity Loans.

         The Servicer shall enforce each Home Equity Loan in Group III in
accordance with its terms and shall timely calculate, record, report and apply
all interest rate adjustments in accordance with the related Note. The
Servicer's records shall, at all times, reflect the then Coupon Rate and monthly
payment and the Servicer shall timely notify the Mortgagor of any changes to the
Coupon Rate or the Mortgagor's monthly payment. If the Servicer fails to make
either a timely or accurate adjustment to the Coupon Rate or monthly payment or
to notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, upon the Servicer's discovery of
such error and such continued failure, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds
any shortage. If the Servicer's continued failure after notice thereof to make a
scheduled change affects the Trust's rights to make future adjustments under the
terms of such Home Equity Loan, the Servicer shall repurchase such Home Equity
Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any amounts paid by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall not be an advance and shall not be reimbursable
from the proceeds of any Home Equity Loan.

         Section 3.20 Reserved.

         Section 3.21 Notices of Material Events. The Servicer shall give prompt
notice to the Insurer, if applicable, the Indenture Trustee, Moody's and
Standard & Poor's of the occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) Any default or any fact or event of which the Servicer has
knowledge which results, or which with notice or the passage of time, or both,
would result in the occurrence of a default by the Seller, or the Servicer under
any Transaction Document or would constitute a material breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant under any Transaction Document;

                                       68
<PAGE>

         (b) The submission of any claim or the initiation of any legal process,
litigation or administrative or judicial investigation against the Seller or the
Servicer to which the Servicer has knowledge in any federal, state or local
court or before any governmental body or agency or before any arbitration board
or any such proceedings threatened by any governmental agency, which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect upon any of the
Seller's or the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations under any
Transaction Document;

         Section 4.01 Claims upon the Insurance Policies.

         (a) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 10:00 a.m. New York
City time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Servicer with a completed notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the
applicable Insurance Policy (the "Notice for Payment") in the event that the
relevant Insured Payment for such Distribution Date is equal to an amount
greater than zero. The Notice for Payment shall specify the amount of the
Insured Payment and the Class of Notes with respect to which such Insured
Payment is to be made, and shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment
pursuant to the applicable Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of an Insured Payment
on behalf of the Holders of the Notes under the Insurance Policy, the Indenture
Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payment in the Distribution Account and shall
distribute such Insured Payments pursuant to Section 5.01.

                                       69
<PAGE>

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of
the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of the Notes from moneys
received under each Insurance Policy. The Insurer shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon four
Business Day's prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

         (c) If a payment to the Noteholders which is guaranteed pursuant to an
Insurance Policy is voided (a "Preference Event") under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an Insolvency Proceeding
(as defined in the applicable Insurance Policy), and, as a result of such a
Preference Event, the Indenture Trustee is required to return such voided
payment, or any portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the Notes (an
"Avoided Payment"), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer (w) a
certified copy of a final order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such
Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Indenture Trustee is required to
return any such payment or portion thereof during the term of the Insurance
Policy because such payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to
which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal having been filed
(the "Final Order"), (x) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Insurer that
such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all
rights and claims of the Indenture Trustee relating to or arising under such
Avoided Payment and (z) appropriate instruments to effect the appointment of the
Insurer as agent for the beneficiary in any legal proceeding related to such
preference payment. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver,
conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final
Order and not to the Indenture Trustee directly (unless a Noteholder has
previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession
or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order in which case such payment
shall be disbursed to the beneficiary for distribution to such Noteholder upon
proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Insurer). The Indenture Trustee
is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust or on any Noteholder for payments
made to any Noteholder which are characterized as preference payments by any
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any bankrupt Mortgagor unless ordered
to do so by such bankruptcy court.

         (d) Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to any
Insurance Policy in respect of the Notes shall be deposited to the Distribution
Account.

         Section 4.02 Effect of Payments by the Insurer; Subrogation. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of
or interest on any of the Notes which are made with moneys received pursuant to
the terms of any Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of such Notes,
as applicable, from the Trust and shall not result in the payment of or the
provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on such Notes, within
the meaning of Section 5.01 herein. The Seller, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees, that
without the need for any further action on the part of the Insurer, the Seller,
the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (a) to the extent the
Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or
interest on any Notes to the Holders of such Notes, the Insurer will be fully
subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest,
as applicable, from the Trust and (b) the Insurer shall be paid such principal
and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in
the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

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

         Section 4.03 Replacement Insurance Policy. In the event of a default by
the Insurer under any Insurance Policy or if the claims paying ability rating of
the Insurer is downgraded and such downgrade results in a downgrading of the
then current rating of the Notes (in each case, a "Replacement Event"), the
Seller may, in accordance with and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in the Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement and payment in full of all
amounts owed to the Insurer, but shall not be required to, substitute a new
insurance policy or insurance policies for the existing Insurance Policy, or may
arrange for any other form of credit enhancement; provided, however, that in
each case the Notes shall be rated no lower than the rating assigned by each
Rating Agency to the Notes immediately prior to such Replacement Event. It shall
be a condition to substitution of any new credit enhancement that there be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) a legal opinion, acceptable in form and
substance to the Indenture Trustee, from counsel to the provider of such new
credit enhancement with respect to the enforceability thereof and such other
matters as the Indenture Trustee may require and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such substitution would not have a materially adverse tax effect
on the Trust. Upon receipt of the items referred to above and the taking of
physical possession of the new credit enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall,
within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such items and such taking of
physical possession, deliver the replaced Insurance Policy to the Insurer.

withdrawals from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for the other
Group(s), on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Group Principal Balance for
such Group as of the end of the related Remittance Period, the Indenture Trustee
shall withdraw from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for each other
Group an amount in the aggregate equal to the lesser of (a) the
Undercollateralization Amount, and (b) the amount on deposit in the related
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account and apply such withdrawn amount as a
Cross-Collateralization Payment in accordance with Section 5.01(a). The amount
to be withdrawn from each Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account is determined
pursuant to Section 5.04(d)(2) below.

                                       77

         (c) On any Distribution Date on which the sum of any Interest
Deficiency and Insurer Reimbursement Deficiency, in each case with respect to a
Group and such Distribution Date, exceeds the amount of Excess Available Funds
for the other Group(s) and Distribution Date after application of such Excess
Available Funds to any Cross-Collateralization Payment (such excess, the
"Deficiency Excess"), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each other
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account an amount equal in the aggregate to such
Deficiency Excess and apply such withdrawn amount as a Cross-Collateralization
Payment in accordance with Section 5.01(a).

         (d) (1) Any Cross-Collateralization Payments shall be made first from
all Excess Available Funds and then from amounts on deposit in the
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Accounts.

                  (2) If two Groups will make Cross-Collateralization Payments,
         each contributing Group will contribute to the amount calculated for
         the receiving Group in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
         "Cross Collateralization Payment" pro rata, based on the amount of
         Excess Available Funds for each contributing Group, and if required,
         based on the amounts on deposit in the Cross-Collateralization Reserve
         Account of each contributing Group. Alternatively, if one Group will
         make a Cross-Collateralization Payment, each receiving Group shall
         share, pro rata, the Excess Available Funds and if required, the
         amounts withdrawn from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account, of
         the contributing Group, based on the amount calculated for each
         receiving Group in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
         "Cross Collateralization Payment".

         (e) On any Distribution Date on which the amounts on deposit in a
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for a Group exceed the Required
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Amount with respect to such Group and
Distribution Date (after giving effect to all distributions on such Distribution
Date), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw an amount equal to the
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Release Amount for such Group and Distribution
Date, and distribute such Cross-Collateralization Reserve Release Amount to the
Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest.

         Section 5.05 Distribution Account. The Indenture Trustee shall
establish an account, which includes three separate subaccounts into which
amounts in respect of each Group will be separately deposited (the "Distribution
Account"), titled "[________________], as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the
registered holders of Renaissance Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes and the
Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 200[_]-[__] Distribution
Account." The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Indenture
Trustee shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections
in respect of the Home Equity Loans received by it immediately following receipt
thereof to the appropriate subaccount in the Distribution Account including,
without limitation, all amounts (i) withdrawn by the Servicer from the Principal
and Interest Account pursuant to Sections 3.03 or 3.04 herein for deposit to the
Distribution Account, (ii) drawn under any Insurance Policy in respect of an
Insured Payment, or (iii) received by it in respect of a Cross-Collateralization
Payment. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested in
Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 5.06 below.

         Section 5.06 Investment of Accounts.

         (a) So long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred
and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a
portion of any Account held by the Indenture Trustee shall be invested and
reinvested by the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in
one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. If an
Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing or if the
Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Indenture Trustee shall
invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the
definition of Eligible Investments. No such investment shall mature later than
(i) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date, in the
case of the Distribution Account, (ii) the Monthly Remittance Date immediately
preceding the Distribution Date, in the case of the Principal and Interest
Account, or (iii) the third Business Day immediately preceding the next
Distribution Date, in the case of the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Accounts
(except that, in the case of the Distribution Account, (i) if such Eligible
Investment is an investment described in item (vi) of Eligible Investments or an
obligation of the Indenture Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature
not later than such Distribution Date and (ii) any other date as may be approved
by the Rating Agencies and the Insurer).

         (b) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by
the Indenture Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make
such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise
converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account.

         (c) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for the
selection of Eligible Investments or by reason of any investment loss or charge
or any insufficiency in any Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from
any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein unless the
Indenture Trustee's failure to perform in accordance with this Section is the
cause of such loss or charge (except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is
the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (b) of this
Section). The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses
incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its
stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written
investment direction. In the absence of written investment direction, the
Indenture Trustee shall invest funds in the Accounts in the Eligible Investment
described in clause (vi) of the definition thereof.

                                       79
<PAGE>

         (d) The Indenture Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds in the
Accounts held by the Indenture Trustee, to the fullest extent practicable, in
such manner as the Servicer shall from time to time direct as set forth in
Section 5.06(a), but only in one or more Eligible Investments.

         (e) So long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred
and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all
earnings on, funds deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing
compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee), and shall (i) in the case of
the Distribution Account, be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer on or before
the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or
gain is received; and (ii) in the case of the Principal and Interest Account, be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer immediately following remittance of the
Monthly Remittance Amount on the Monthly Remittance Date. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or the Distribution Account, as
the case may be, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible
Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon
immediately upon realization of such loss from its own funds, without any right
to reimbursement therefore.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                   THE SELLER, THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

         Section 6.01 Liability of the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor.
The Seller and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Seller
or Servicer, as the case may be, herein. The Depositor shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

         Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor. Any corporation into
which the Seller, the Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor Servicer, and shall be approved by the Insurer.

         Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Noteholders for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of
the Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be
construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts
advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Net Liquidation
Proceeds realized with respect to the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer and
any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Notes, other
than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Home Equity Loan or
Home Equity Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may with the consent of the
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement,
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Noteholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust. The Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive any resignation or termination of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 below with respect to any losses,
expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination
(or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer
hereunder and in no other capacities.

         Section 6.04 Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.02, Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 herein, the Servicer shall not
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon
determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict
being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the
Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered
a letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor
servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as
Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current rating of the Notes; and (c) such proposed successor servicer is
reasonably acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by a letter to the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall
become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the
Indenture Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor
servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below. Any such resignation shall not
relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in
Sections 7.01 and 7.02 below as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

         Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business,
the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person,
including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance
with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01 herein. Such
delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and
responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04 above. The Servicer shall provide
the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee with written notice prior to the
delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer's
Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, and the Insurer shall
have consented to the appointment of any such Subservicer (which consent shall
not have been unreasonably withheld).

         Section 6.06 Indemnification by the Servicer. The Servicer shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trust, the Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any
loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of
the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of its activities in servicing or administering the Home Equity Loans pursuant
to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award,
settlement, reasonable fees of, counsel of its selection and other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened
action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer's misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the
Trust. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable
by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. The provisions of this
Section 6.06 shall survive termination of the Agreement or the earlier of the
resignation or removal of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may
be. In addition, the Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to Section [6.7] of the Indenture.

                  (i) The Servicer shall (a) apply for or consent to the
         appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian or similar
         entity with respect to itself or its property, (b) admit in writing its
         inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (c) make a
         general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (d) be adjudicated a

         reorganization, an arrangement with creditors or an order for relief or
         seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law or file an answer
         admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in
         any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or (f) take
         corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

                                       82
<PAGE>

                  (ii) If without the application, approval or consent of the
         Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent
         jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of the Servicer
         an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization,
         dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with
         creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee,
         receiver, liquidator or custodian or similar entity with respect to the
         Servicer or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or other like
         relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and,
         if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good faith,
         the same shall (A) result in the entry of an order for relief or any
         such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or pending
         and unstayed for any period of seventy-five (75) consecutive days; or

                  (iii) The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of
         its obligations hereunder and shall continue in default thereof for a
         period of thirty (30) days (one (1) Business Day in the case of a delay
         in making a payment or deposit required of the Servicer under this
         Agreement) after the earlier of (a) actual knowledge of an officer of
         the Servicer or (b) receipt of notice from the Indenture Trustee or the
         Insurer of said failure; provided, however, that if the Servicer can
         demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it is
         diligently pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be
         extended with the written approval of the Insurer; or

                  (iv) The Servicer shall fail to cure any breach of any of its
         representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 or in the
         other Transaction Documents which materially and adversely affects the

         period of sixty (60) days after the earlier of the Servicer's discovery
         or receipt of notice thereof; provided, however, that if the Servicer
         can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it
         is diligently pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be
         extended with the written approval of the Insurer; or

                  (v) The merger, consolidation or other combination of the
         Servicer with or into any other entity, unless (1) the Servicer or an
         Affiliate of the Servicer is the surviving entity of such combination
         or (2) the surviving entity (A) is servicing at least $300,000,000 of
         home equity loans that are similar to the Home Equity Loans, (B) has
         Tangible Net Worth of not less than $35,000,000 (as determined in
         accordance with generally acceptable account principles), (C) is
         consented to by the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably
         withheld) and (D) agrees to assume the Servicer's obligations
         hereunder; or

                  (vi) The failure of the Servicer to satisfy the Servicer
         Termination Test; or

                                       83
<PAGE>

                  (vii) The Servicer shall be declared in default of its credit
         facility by its credit facility provider, which default, if left
         uncured, would result in termination or acceleration of amounts owed
         thereunder; or

                  (viii) Delta Funding Corporation or its successors shall fail
         to own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Servicer unless (a)
         the Servicer shall be rated at least investment grade by each Rating
         Agency or (b) the Servicer shall have at all times committed financing
         capacity in a total amount of at least three times the Servicer's
         average loan originations funded during the immediately preceding three
         calendar months.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Servicing
Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the
Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Insurer or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all
Classes of Notes (with the consent of the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default
exists), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by Holders of Notes), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to
the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Trust
and the Insurer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Notes or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and,
without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each
Home Equity Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be
deposited by it in Principal and Interest Account, or that have been deposited
by the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account or thereafter received by
the Servicer with respect to the Home Equity Loans. All reasonable costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring
the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to
reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid
by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture
Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs and expenses.

         [In addition, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event, as provided in
the Insurance Agreement, and upon the direction of the Insurer in connection
therewith, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the rights and responsibilities
of the Servicer hereunder and shall appoint a successor Servicer in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.02.]

         Section 7.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                                       84
<PAGE>

         (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns pursuant to 6.04 herein, the Indenture
Trustee or a previously agreed upon successor Servicer shall be the successor in
all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof. The Indenture Trustee will
immediately assume all obligations of the Servicer to make Delinquency Advances.
As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such
compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such
notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the
Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer, or (ii) if the
Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee shall
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other home equity loan
or home equity loan servicer which has been designated as an approved
seller-servicer by FNMA or FHLMC for first and second home equity loans and
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 (or such lower level as may be
acceptable to the Insurer) as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting practices as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder; provided that any such successor Servicer shall be
acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by the Insurer's prior written consent;
and provided, further, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned
to the Notes by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be held liable for any Servicing Fee or
for any differential in the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to
act as successor servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for therein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Home
Equity Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would
otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.12 herein (or such lesser
compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The
appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the
predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its
termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant
to Section 3.06 herein or to indemnify any party pursuant to Section 6.06), nor
shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.

         (b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to
service and administer the Home Equity Loans for the benefit of the Trust, and
(ii) maintain in force an insurance policy or policies of insurance covering
errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder
and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.17 herein.

         Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults. The Insurer or the or the Holders of
Notes representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of
all Classes of Notes, with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld) may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any events
permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII,
provided, however, that the Insurer and the Holders of Notes representing not
less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes
may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Note without the
consent of the Holder of such Note. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist and any Event of Servicing Termination arising

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   TERMINATION

         Section 8.01 Termination.

         (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor,
the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee created hereby
(other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make certain payments to
Noteholders after the Final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer
to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to
the Indenture Trustee of the later of (A) payment in full of all amounts owing
to the Insurer unless the Insurer shall otherwise consent and (B) the earliest
of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Home Equity Loan
remaining in the Trust; (ii) the optional purchase by the Servicer of the Home
Equity Loans as described below and (iii) the Final Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the date of the last survivor of
the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States
to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

         (b) The Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any
Monthly Remittance Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date by purchasing all of
the outstanding Home Equity Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum
of the outstanding Pool Principal Balance and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the weighted average of the Coupon Rates through the end of the
Remittance Period preceding the final Distribution Date, together with all
amounts due and owing to the Insurer (the "Termination Price").

         In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account (less amounts permitted to
be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

                                       86
<PAGE>

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

         (c) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Noteholders may surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of
the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Servicer, if the
Servicer is exercising its right to transfer of the Home Equity Loans, given not
later than the first day of the month preceding the month of such final
distribution) to the Insurer and to the Servicer by letter to the Noteholders
mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Notes will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

         (d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Notes on the Distribution
Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of
their respective Notes and to the extent that funds are available for such
purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to Noteholders
pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Distribution Date. On the final Distribution
Date prior to having made the distributions called for above, the Indenture
Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in the Servicing Certificate
for such Distribution Date, withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to
the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such
final Distribution Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay the
Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and any amounts owing to the Indenture
Trustee in respect of the Indenture Trustee Fee and (y) the unpaid amounts due
and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement.

         (e) In the event that all of the Noteholders shall not surrender their
Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds
in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to
Noteholders, to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Noteholders
by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such
Noteholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to
purchase the Home Equity Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case)
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to surrender
their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine (9) months after the second notice all the Notes shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Transferor Interest will be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and
the Indenture Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds and the Noteholders shall look to the holder of
the Transferor Interest for payment.

                                       87
<PAGE>

         (f) Upon payment of all amounts owed under any Insurance Policy and
cancellation of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the Insurer
notice of cancellation of the Notes and surrender the Insurance Policy to the
Insurer.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 9.01 Amendment.

         (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by written
agreement, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, but only with the
consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) to
cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct any defective provisions or to correct or
supplement any provisions herein that may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Servicer, (iv) to add any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement or any Insurance Policy, as the case may be, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) to add or amend any
provisions of this Agreement as required by any Rating Agency or any other
nationally recognized statistical rating agency in order to maintain or improve
any rating of the Notes (it being understood that, after obtaining the ratings
in effect on the Closing Date, neither the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the
Depositor nor the Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any such
rating), or (vi) to amend the definition of Specified O/C Amount; provided,
however, that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment) in each case such action shall not, (1) have any
material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Noteholder, the Insurer or
the Trust or (2) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Noteholder or the Insurer, provided, further, that the amendment shall not be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Noteholder or the Insurer, and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be
required by this clause (2) if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a
letter from the Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Notes
without regard to any Insurance Policy.

         (b) This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the Seller,
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, with the
consent of the Holders of Notes representing not less than 51% of the aggregate
Note Principal Balance of the Class of Notes affected thereby, or 51% of the
aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes if all such Classes are
affected thereby, and with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Transferor in
respect of the Ownership Interest; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
on the Notes or distributions or payments under any Insurance Policy which are
required to be made on the Notes or without the consent of the Holder of such
Notes or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

                                       88
<PAGE>

         Prior to the execution of any such amendments, the Indenture Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Rating Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment
made with the consent of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Noteholder and
fully executed original counterparts of the instruments effecting such amendment
to the Insurer.

         (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders under this
Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

         Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, each of the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and all conditions
precedent to the execution of such amendment have been met. The Indenture
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities
under this Agreement.

         Section 9.02 Recordation of Agreement.

         To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, or a
memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to recordation
in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the
counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the Noteholders'
expense on direction of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all
Classes of Notes, but only when accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Noteholders or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the
Home Equity Loans.

         This Agreement shall continue in existence and effect until terminated
as herein provided.
