                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective
as of October 1, 2004, among ARGENT SECURITIES INC., as Depositor, AMERIQUEST
MORTGAGE COMPANY, as Master Servicer and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY,
as Trustee.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of
a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement.

                                     REMIC I
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets (other than any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts, the Pre-Funding Accounts, the Interest Coverage Accounts, any
Subsequent Mortgage Loan Interest, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
and the Cap Contracts) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income
tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC
I." The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following
table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the
initial Uncertificated Balance and, solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury
regulation section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for
each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I
Regular Interests will be certificated.

                          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor,
including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and
to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of
the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, all other assets
included or to be included in REMIC I (including any payments under the Cap
Contracts). Such assignment includes all interest and principal received by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before
the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed
copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Original Pre-Funded Amounts
and the required deposit to the Interest Coverage Accounts, and the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, acknowledges
receipt of the same.

                  In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee the following documents or
instruments with respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan so transferred and
assigned, and the Depositor shall, in accordance with Section 2.09, deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee, with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage
Loan, the following documents or instruments (a "Mortgage File"):

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank, without
         recourse, or in the following form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank
         National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement,
         without recourse," with all prior and intervening endorsements showing
         a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so
         endorsing to the Trustee, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an
         original Lost Note Affidavit; provided however, that such substitutions
         of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with
         respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance
         of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the
         Cut-off Date;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording
         thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of
         the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant
         to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
         recourse;



                                       72
<PAGE>


                  (iv) the original recorded intervening Assignment or
         Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator
         to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by
         the immediately preceding clause (iii) or the original unrecorded
         intervening Assignments;

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

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or an
         attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to
         mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which
         were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, or in
         the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written
         commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by
         the title insurance or escrow company.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) been submitted for
recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has
retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the
Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of
each such document certified by the applicable Originator in the case of (x)
above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a
true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2)
if such copy is certified by the applicable Originator, delivery to the Trustee,
or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. If the original lender's title insurance policy was not delivered
pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance
policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or
to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.

                  The Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly
(and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon
a mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee, following the
later of (i) the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, with
respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans), (ii) the date on which the Seller
receives the Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the
Master Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to
be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in
the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment
referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original
Assignment referred to in section 2.01(iii) above in the following form:
"Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable
agreement." In the



                                       73
<PAGE>



event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be
cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment
to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless such failure to record
would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating
on any Class of Certificates (in the case of the Insured Certificates, without
regard to the Policy); provided further, however, each Assignment shall be
submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i)
reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights, the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) failure of the
Master Servicer Termination Test, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or
insolvency relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer
as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer and with respect to any one assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the
related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is
unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid
by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expense.

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. In the event
that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that
is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage
File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.

                  The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not
intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined by HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive
lending laws.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below,
the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to
a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed
agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii),
(iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account)
and declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to



                                       74
<PAGE>



it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or shall hold all such assets
and such other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer.

                  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to execute and
deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer an acknowledgment of receipt of the
Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer, to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to
review) each Mortgage Note within 45 days of the Closing Date (or the related
Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) and to
certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the
Custodian to certify in the form of the Initial Certification attached to the
Custodial Agreement) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan
specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being
covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such
Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required
to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it or such Custodian and are not mutilated,
torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such
Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the Custodian's examination and only as to
the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6), (9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the
definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth
in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review,
the Trustee or such Custodian was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect,
review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether
any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of
Section 2.01.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a
final certification in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement) evidencing
the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon, with respect to all of the Initial Mortgage Loans and Subsequent
Mortgage Loans. Upon the request of the Master Servicer or the Certificate
Insurer, any exception report related to the final certification shall be
provided in an electronic computer readable format as mutually agreed upon by
the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee or any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of
a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or



                                       75
<PAGE>



defaced or does not conform to the requirements identified above, at the
conclusion of its review the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
shall so notify the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
and the Certificate Insurer.

                  The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall,
at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner
or the Certificate Insurer, provide a written report to such Certificateholder,
Certificate Owner or the Certificate Insurer, as applicable, of all Mortgage
Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.

                  SECTION 2.03.  Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
                                 by the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of
                                 Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice
under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document
is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing
document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or
cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller had knowledge
or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller
does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all
material respects during such period, the Master Servicer (or, in accordance
with Section 6.06(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Seller
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from
REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller
was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) of such missing document, defect or
breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit,
shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of
repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be
removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan



                                       76
<PAGE>



as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a document exists or as
to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.

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

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i)
above,

                  (A) (A) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance
         Date next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the
         representation made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(vii), which
         breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
         the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount
         collected and deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection
         Account in respect of such Prepayment Charge; and

                  (B) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant
         made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breach
         materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
         Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the
         amount of the waived Prepayment Charge, but only to the extent required
         under Section 2.03(b)(iii) below.

                  (iii) If with respect to any Prepayment Period,

                  (A) the dollar amount of Prepayment Charges that are the
         subject of breaches by the Master Servicer of the covenant made by the
         Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breaches materially and
         adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Class P
         Certificates to such Prepayment Charges, exceeds

                  (B) 5% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges
         payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the
         related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period,

then the amount required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03(b)(ii)(B) above shall be limited to an amount, that when added to the
amount of Prepayment Charges actually collected by the Master Servicer in
respect of Prepayment Charges relating to Principal



                                       77
<PAGE>



Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment
Period, will yield a sum equal to 95% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment
Charges (exclusive of (A) Prepayment Charges not enforced or collected upon
because (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been
limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other
involuntary payment and (B) Prepayment Charges waived by the Master Servicer
when such waiver does not breach the covenant set forth in Section 2.05(viii))
payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the related
Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period.

                  (c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the
Seller or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior
to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the
Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may
be, delivering to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and,
within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be
retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given
written notice to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS
Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and
shall be subject in all respects to the terms



                                       78
<PAGE>



of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and
warranties thereof.

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

                  In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution shall not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

                  (d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by the Seller. Any
such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, as
the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

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

to the Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee, the Certificateholders

provided herein:

                  (i) The Master Servicer is a corporation duly organized,

         Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the

         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
         other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable
         defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
         therefor may be brought;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
         Servicer hereunder, the consummation of any other of the transactions
         herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the
         terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
         Servicer and shall not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
         of the charter or by-laws of the Master Servicer or (B) conflict with,
         result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a
         default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument
         to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or
         any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer of
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
         having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master Servicer
         is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture

         administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it,
         which materially and adversely affects or, to the Master Servicer's
         knowledge, would in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the
         ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this
         Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition,
         properties or assets of the Master Servicer taken as a whole;

                  (iv) The Master Servicer is an approved seller/servicer for
         Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved
         mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National
         Housing Act;

                  (v) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no
         litigation is pending against the Master Servicer that would materially
         and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
         Agreement or the ability of the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage
         Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in
         accordance with the terms hereof;

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

                  (vii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
         Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 2 (including the prepayment charge
         summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material
         respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is
         furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in
         accordance with its terms (except to the extent that (i) the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
         rights generally and (ii) the collectability thereof may be limited due
         to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
         payment;

                  (viii) The Master Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment
         Charge or part of a Prepayment Charge unless, (i) the enforceability
         thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited
         due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other
         involuntary payment or (iii) in the Master Servicer's reasonable
         judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates
         to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would
         maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
         such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is
         standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including
         any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a
         Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
         default). In no event shall the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment

         related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default;

                  (ix) The information set forth in the "monthly tape" provided

<PAGE>



                  (x) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Assignment is in
         recordable form (except that the name of the assignee and the recording
         information with respect to such Mortgage Loan is blank) and each
         Mortgage Loan was originated in the name of the Master Servicer or an
         affiliate thereof;

                  (xi) The Master Servicer has fully furnished and shall
         continue to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
         Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
         (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to
         Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their
         successors on a monthly basis; and

                  (xii) The Master Servicer shall transmit full-file credit
         reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide
         Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
         shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new
         origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed
         or charged-off.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or to a Custodian, as the case may be, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants which materially and
adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the
interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days
following such discovery) to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, the obligation of the Master Servicer set
forth in Section 2.03(b) to cure breaches (or in the case of the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 2.05(vii) and
Section 2.05(viii) above, to otherwise remedy such breaches pursuant to Section
2.03(b)) shall constitute the sole remedies against the Master Servicer
available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations, warranties
and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. The preceding sentence shall not
however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor
or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders (other than in the case of
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 2.05(vii) and
Section 2.05(viii) above) pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
signed by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller, respecting a breach of
the representations, warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer in its
capacity as Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                                the Class R-I Interest.

assets included in REMIC I, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

denominations. The interests evidenced by the Class R-X Certificates, together
with the Class CE Certificates and the Class P Certificates constitute the
entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC IV and REMIC V.

         Depositor, in, to and under the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase
         Agreement, to the extent of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans;

                  (viii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee, the

                                  ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (as determined by the
Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of
the respective Mortgage Loans and any insurance policies related thereto, (ii)
all Applicable Regulations, (iii) the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Loss
Mitigation Action Plan, if applicable, and (v) to the extent consistent with the
preceding requirements, in the same manner in which it services and administers
similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan
servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

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

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

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

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

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or
of modification and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of
such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties,



                                       88
<PAGE>



in the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO
Properties held in the name of the Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon
terms and conditions the Master Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing
Standard, (iv) to bring or respond to civil actions or complaints (in its own
name or that of the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund)
related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property held by the
Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other document necessary or appropriate to
enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder consistent with the Servicing Standard.

                  At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all
servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and
transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph
along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to
this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or
recording purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

                  Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to
the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that:

                  (A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except
         as provided in Section 4.03);

                  (B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
         respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
         or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce
         the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
         resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final
         maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section
         3.02, (i) the


                                       89
<PAGE>



         Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such
         default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably
         foreseeable); and

                  (C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial
         releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or
         division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v)
         second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage
         Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
         a REMIC,(ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
         "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
         Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
         Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations
         promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust REMIC constituting part
         of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
         imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
         after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.

                  To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or
permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.

                  The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed
to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provision of
any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory
arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent
shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate
number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended
exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In the event
of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer


                                       90
<PAGE>



shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant
to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such
Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than
the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications,
variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences
collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in
determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue,
the Master Servicer shall adhere to the Loss Mitigation Action Plan. The Master
Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 and the Loss Mitigation Action
Plan shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File and shall be provided to
the Certificate Insurer upon request.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances
that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon
discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee
for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any
such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.04. Collection Account, Escrow Account and
                                Distribution Account.

                  (a) COLLECTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account") in
accordance with this Section 3.04, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders.

                  (b) DEPOSITS TO THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in



                                       91

and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as
and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, and retain therein, the
following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
Cut-off Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, or the related
Subsequent Cut-off Date with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, or

Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

         Recoveries and any amounts received in respect of the rental of any REO
         Property prior to REO Disposition;

                  (iv) all proceeds related to the purchase, substitution or
         repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with

         from the Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

                  (vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master

         realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
         Collection Account;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with

         shall be deemed to be the date of substitution);

                  (viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03(b); and

                  (ix) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer,

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

                  (c) ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which
constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Escrow Account") held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee.

                  (d) DEPOSITS TO THE ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Escrow Account,
in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, and
retain therein:

                  (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage
         Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as
         required under the terms of this Agreement; and

                  (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the
         restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

                  (e) DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
this Agreement separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust Fund one or more
segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.

                  (f) TRUSTEE DEPOSITS TO THE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. Upon
receipt, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the
Distribution Account all payments of any nature received from the Master
Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the
Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.06 in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to
funds held in the Distribution Account. Furthermore, promptly upon receipt of
any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or
federal bankruptcy court or other source, the



                                       93

Trustee shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to
withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted
hereunder.

                  (g) MASTER SERVICER TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO THE DISTRIBUTION
ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account
by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, (i) that
portion of Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in
clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the
Collection Account, (ii) without duplication, the amount of all Prepayment
Charges collected by the Master Servicer, all Prepayment Charges payable by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) and all Master Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to

extent not related to Principal Prepayments occurring after the related
Prepayment Period) and (iii) any amounts reimbursable to an Advancing Person
pursuant to Section 3.23 and the terms of the related Advance Facility.

                  In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
from time to time as required by this Agreement, for deposit and the Trustee
shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

                  (i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;

                  (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.13 in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
         Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 3.16 and Section

                  (iv) any Compensating Interest as required pursuant to Section
         4.03(e);

         bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;

                  (vi) any amounts required to be paid by the Master Servicer
         pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with any losses realized on
         Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
         Account; and

                  (vii) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee from the
         assets of the Trust Fund on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant
         to this Agreement, including but not limited to amounts required to be
         paid to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 and Section 8.05.

                  Funds held in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.04(b) may at any time be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account and for all purposes of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account until the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have



                                       94
<PAGE>



the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this paragraph. In the
event the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  (h) INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT FUNDS. Funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.06. Any investment earnings or interest paid
on funds deposited in the Collection Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) shall accrue to the benefit of the Master
Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such
interest from each such account on a daily basis. Any investment earnings or
interest paid on funds deposited in the Distribution Account, shall accrue to
the benefit of the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to retain and
withdraw such interest from each such account on a daily basis.

                  Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts, the Interest
Coverage Account and the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06 subject to any
limitations set forth in Section 4.07 (with respect to the Pre-Funding
Accounts), Section 4.08 (with respect to the Interest Coverage Account) and
Section 4.10 (with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) and
any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section.

                  (i) CREATION, LOCATION AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNTS.
Each account created pursuant to this Agreement must be an Eligible Account. On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall give
notice, to each other, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Depositor of the location of any account created by it pursuant to this
Agreement. From time to time, the Master Servicer and the Trustee may each
transfer any account created by it to a different depository institution
provided that upon such transfer the written notice is provided to all other
parties listed in the preceding sentence.

                  (j) In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A.
Patriot Act of 2001, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and

         3.04(g) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the last paragraph
         of Section 3.04(g);

         any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
         (c) any unreimbursed Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimburse
         itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to any Late

         Proceeds received on the related Mortgage Loan and any amounts received
         in respect of the rental of the related REO Property prior to an REO
         Disposition that represent payments of principal and/or interest
         respecting which any such advance was made;

                  (iii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees to
         the extent not recoverable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and (b) any unpaid
         Advances or Servicing Advances that have been deemed Nonrecoverable
         Advances or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;

         earned on funds in the Collection Account;

                  (vii) subject to Section 4.03(b), to reimburse the Master
         Servicer in respect of any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds
         held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not
         included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

                  (viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for
         expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the
         Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;

                  (ix) to remit to the Trustee any amounts that the Trustee is

         7.02(a) and Section 8.05 of this Agreement;

                  (x) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the
         Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller) or the Trustee, as
         the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in
         respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation
         under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase
         Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the
         enforcement of the purchase obligation;

                  (xi) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
         Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has
         previously been purchased or replaced



                                       96
<PAGE>



         pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(a) all amounts received
         thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case
         may be;

                  (xii) to transfer funds in the Collection Account maintained
         at a particular depository to the Collection Account maintained at a
         different depository, pursuant to Section 3.04(i); and

                  (xiii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
         termination of this Agreement.

                  On each Business Day as of the commencement of which the
balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any
withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess
shall be remitted to the Trustee, but only if the Collection Account constitutes
an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
"Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the
Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Master Servicer shall, on or
before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05
and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

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

                  The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or
on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii),
(viii) and (xi) above. The Master Servicer shall provide written notification to
the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the
next succeeding Master Servicer Reporting Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (viii) above.

                  (b) Escrow Account. The Master Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Escrow Account for the following purposes:

                  (i) to effect payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
         water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items;

                  (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Servicing
         Advance made by the Master Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage
         Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which
         represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments
         thereunder;



                                       97
<PAGE>



                  (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be
         determined to be overages;

                  (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with
         the terms of this Agreement;

                  (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
         Property;

                  (vi) to pay to the Master Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the
         extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations,
         any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

                  (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the
         termination of this Agreement; and

                  (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any Insurance
         Proceeds.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer
shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the
extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient,
shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
The Master Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow
Account, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard,
is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors
or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.

                  (c) Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, from time to
time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following
purposes:

                  (i) to make distributions to Certificateholders and the
         Certificate Insurer in accordance with Section 4.01;

                  (ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant
         to Section 8.05;

                  (iii) to pay itself any interest income earned on funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.06;

                  (iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section
         7.02(b);

                  (v) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section
         10.01(g)(iii); and

                  (vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 9.01.

                  SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account,
the Escrow Account, the REO Account and the Distribution Account.

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

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

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

                  (b) All income in the nature of interest from the investment
of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
compensation for the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and
the REO Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in respect of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss.

                  (c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee as compensation for the Trustee's services pursuant to this Agreement.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution



                                       99
<PAGE>



Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in the Distribution Account.

                  (d) Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts, the Interest
Coverage Account and the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with this Section 3.06 subject to any
limitations set forth in Section 4.07 (with respect to the Pre-Funding
Accounts), Section 4.08 (with respect to the Interest Coverage Account) and
Section 4.10 (with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) and
any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in
the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on
Permitted Investments in such account.

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

                  (f) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest
for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing
agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted
Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted
Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments.
Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or
payable pursuant to Section 3.05.

                  SECTION 3.07. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

                  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and,
as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including
renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the
Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master
Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of
the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent
that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become
due and shall ensure that



                                      100
<PAGE>



the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment and
that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.

                  SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of
the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage
on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances
(each measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be
collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its
own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan,
or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.13, if
received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master
Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (ii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such
Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program) and (iii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related
Mortgaged Property.

                  SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.

                  In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:V
or better in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to
such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the



                                      101
<PAGE>



Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of Section 3.08, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying
with the first two sentences of Section 3.08, and there shall have been one or
more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket
policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

                  SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

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

                  SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                Agreements.

                  The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or
the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if
prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it
is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any
of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence
apply, the Master Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage



                                      102
<PAGE>



Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such
substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting
criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and
follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption
and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting
the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian that any
such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, the executed original of
such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11,
the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged
Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement.

                  SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless
it shall determine in its



                                      103
<PAGE>

discretion that such restoration shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit
reveals, or if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such
Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the
Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure
without the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the NIMS Insurer.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it
is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous



                                      104
<PAGE>



materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such
Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems
to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as
estimated in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by
the Master Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged
Property. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation
shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii); second, to accrued and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery shall be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(ii).

                  SECTION 3.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. Pursuant to the power of
attorney granted in Section 3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to
transfer the title of any REO Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a
third party purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.13 without further
documentation of its authority as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall either sell any
REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year the Trust
Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days
before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an
extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have
delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the
Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition
shall not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" thereof, as defined in



                                      105
<PAGE>



Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  (b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (the "REO
Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be
permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject
to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO
Account.

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

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

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

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

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



                                      106
<PAGE>

judgment, the payment of such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or
sale of the REO Property.

                  Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the
Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from
existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to
the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the
date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:

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

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

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer,
to the effect that such action shall not cause such REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master
Servicer has received written notice from the Trustee that it has received
written consent from the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer that the
specific action may be taken.

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

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

                  (ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
         to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
         incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
         Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues
         (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as
         practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
         receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

                  (iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating
         to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve



                                      107
<PAGE>



         the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee
         on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and
         management of any such REO Property; and

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

                  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to
its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer
by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is
sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent
Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be
permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement (including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan).

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.13(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.04(g)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received
during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section
3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.13(a), (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each
REO Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition") each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as shall be in conformity with the requirements of the
Loss Mitigation Action Plan and as shall be normal and usual in its general
servicing activities for similar properties.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

                  SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].



                                      108
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 3.15. Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of
                                Mortgaged Properties.

                  The Master Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

                  SECTION 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) (i) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a
Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the
Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(i), the Master Servicer shall be required to
continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. The NIMS Insurer shall not
use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer
shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.16(a)(i) shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. The Trustee shall effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage
Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary, as requested, and the Trustee
shall promptly deliver all documentation to the NIMS Insurer.

                  (ii) During the first full calendar month (but excluding the
last Business Day thereof) following a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
becoming 90 days or more delinquent, the Master Servicer shall have the option,
but not the obligation to purchase from the Trust Fund any such Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property that is then still 90 days or more delinquent, which the
Master Servicer determines in good faith shall otherwise become subject to
foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in
writing to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the
Trustee, upon written certification of such deposit, shall release or cause to
be released to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as the Master Servicer shall furnish and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property released pursuant hereto.

                  (b) If with respect to any delinquent Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property, the option of the Master Servicer set forth in the preceding
paragraph shall have arisen but the Master Servicer shall have failed to
exercise such option on or before the Business Day preceding the last Business
Day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which such
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property first became 90 days or more delinquent,
then such option shall automatically expire; provided, however, that if any such
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property shall cease to be 90 days or more
delinquent but then subsequently shall



                                      109

again become 90 days or more delinquent, then the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to another repurchase option with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO
Property as provided in the preceding paragraph.

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

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the
form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided
that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) have been or
shall be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it
of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no
event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee and any related
Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee
or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it
does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of
the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such
Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian
when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to
the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, upon request, a copy of the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the
Master Servicer.


                                      110
<PAGE>

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

                  (d) The Trustee and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on
policies and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the
submission of any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File
electronically with a digital signature or other identifier to designate the
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting such collateral.

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13. 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 Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Master Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h)
to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw
from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06. The Master Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not
paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of
each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided in Section 8.05, the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically provided herein.

                  SECTION 3.19. Statement as to Compliance.



                                      111
<PAGE>


                  The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency on or
before March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2005, an Officers'
Certificate, in a form similar to Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the
parties hereto, stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as
a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense
of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation
is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage
loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent
certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in
accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report)
with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report,
the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request
at the Master Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by
the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event such firm of independent
certified public accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures
performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing
to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such
letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master
Servicer, and the Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation
as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
validity or correctness of such procedures.

                  SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise



                                      112
<PAGE>



authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to the
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and to any Person
identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the
Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such
access. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
may be conditioned upon the requesting party's acknowledgment in writing of a
confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to remain
confidential under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.

                  SECTION 3.22. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a
facility (an "Advance Facility") with any Person which provides that such Person
(an "Advancing Person") may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust
Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise
affect the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant
to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the
Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of
notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent that an
Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the
Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing
Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to
receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent
provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify
the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the
applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of
the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement
from the Trustee, rather than the Master Servicer, and include the Master
Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the
Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to
any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall
be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person's
notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.23. An Advancing Person whose
obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer
or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and shall not be deemed to be
a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be
entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer
shall not withhold its consent to the Trust Fund's entering such facility.





                                      113
<PAGE>


                  (b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an
Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then
the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii)
prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall
include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant
to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized
to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing
Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms
of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been
permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v),
as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any Advance
Facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trustee.

                  (c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in first out" (FIFO) basis.

                  (d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master
Servicer's right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of
such Advancing Person's financing of Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder
then remaining unreimbursed.

                  (e) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent
of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of
Certificates (and with respect to the Insured Certifiates, without regard to the
Policy) or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a portion
of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the Residual
Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

                  Interest is reduced to zero, provided, however, that REMIC II
                  Regular Interest II-LTP shall not be reduced until the

                  latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment
                  Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, at which
                  point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC II Regular

         Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate

         distributed to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II
         Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining
         principal to REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTXX.

<PAGE>



         Balances of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
         have been reduced to zero, any remaining amounts in reduction of the
         Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates, until the
         Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  (vi) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any remaining
         amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the Distribution

the Class CE Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates has been reduced to
zero, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all
distributions of principal to the Group II Certificates will be distributed
concurrently, on a PRO RATA basis based on the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class.

                  (c) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions

                  THIRD, concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,
the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount remaining unpaid pursuant to clause
FIRST above, on a PRO RATA basis based on such respective remaining Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts; and

                  FOURTH, sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and
Class M-11 Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount remaining undistributed pursuant to clause SECOND above.

                  On each Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts on the Adjustable-Rate Certificates, any amounts
remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments
received by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts), shall be payable to the
Trustee. For so long as any Adjustable-Rate Certificates are held by the Seller
or any of its Affiliates, the Trustee shall not distribute any Cap Amounts for
such Certificates to the Seller or any of its Affiliates and the Trustee will
retain any such amounts as additional compensation for its role in administering
the Cap Contracts.

                  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any
amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment
Charges collected by the Master Servicer, Prepayment Charges payable by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) and Master Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B), subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), in each case to the
extent not related to Principal Prepayments occurring after the related
Prepayment Period, and the Trustee shall distribute such amounts to the Holders
of the Class P Certificates. Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce
the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.

                  (d) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Payments to the Certificate Insurer on any Distribution Date shall be made by
wire



                                      124

Certificate Insurer under the Premium Letter (as defined in the Insurance
Agreement).

                  Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.

                  (e) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor
the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.

                  (f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than five (5) days after the related Determination Date, mail to the
Certificate Insurer and each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:

                  (i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with
         respect to such Class of Certificates shall be made on such
         Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
         Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified or its
         agent, and

                  (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
         after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

                  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the



                                      125

assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice
any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, any
amounts which were paid by the Certificate Insurer under the Policy shall be
reimbursed to the Certificate Insurer (if such retained amounts related to the
Insured Certificates) and the Trustee shall pay to the Representative all
remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of
such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate
in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and (ii) in no event shall the
Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest to be reduced more than once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

                  (h) (h) On each Distribution Date for which there exists a
Guarateed Distributions Shortfall, in addition to making the distributions
required pursuant to Section 4.01(a) through (g), the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Distribution Account any amount therein that was transferred from the
Policy Payments Account to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 12.04(b)
and distribute (i) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the amount, if
any, by which the amount distributed as interest to the Class A-1 Certificates,
pursuant to the priority of payment set forth in Section 4.01(a), is less than
the related Senior Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A-1 Certificates
for such Distribution Date and (ii) on the Final Distribution Date (as defined
in the Policy), to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates to the extent unpaid on the
Final Distribution Date (as defined in the Policy) pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement following all other distributions made on the Class A-1 Certificates.

                  (i) Each Holder of a Class A-1 Certificates, by its acceptance
of such Certificate, hereby agrees that, in the event any distribution is made
to any Holder of such Certificate from amounts paid under the Policy, (i) the
Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated in the manner herein provided to the
rights of the Holder of such Certificate to receive from amounts on deposit in
the Distribution Account the distributions allocable to principal and interest
that would have been distributable to such Holder if no such distribution to
such Holder had been made from amounts paid under the Policy; and (ii) in
addition to the rights of the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates that the
Certificate Insurer may exercise in accordance with the provisions of Section
12.01, the Certificate Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or
the like with respect to each Class A-1 Certificate for which amounts paid under
the Policy plus interest at the Late Payment Rate thereon from the date such
payment was made are outstanding..

aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its

therein for future distribution (in which case, it shall cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an
Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master
Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances
previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's
records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee shall
provide notice to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS
Insurer by telecopy by the close of business on any Master Servicer Remittance
Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee
on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Master
Servicer for the related Distribution Date.

Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the

a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination
by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
NIMS Insurer.

                  (e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for

aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month. The Master
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of


                                      132

the related Prepayment Period and (B) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer by the Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date
immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable
to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred,

Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all
distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any
Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds
the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day
of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the
related Prepayment Period) the amount of such excess shall be allocated first,
to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-7
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-5
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; eighth, to



                                      133
<PAGE>



the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero and eleventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized
Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on
any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be
made on such date as provided above.

                  Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on
any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the
amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v).
No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

                  As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a PRO RATA basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  (c) All Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF, until the Uncertificated
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided
however, with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses
on the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular
Interest I-LT1, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF until the Uncertificated Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date, first to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2PF, until the
Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to
zero; provided however, with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all
Realized Losses on the Initial Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2, until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group II
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2PF until the
Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

                  (d) (i) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss



                                      134
<PAGE>



Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated
Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss
Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated
Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM9, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM11
and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, fourth, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively,
until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM11 has been
reduced to zero, fifth, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero, sixth,
98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM8 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 has been reduced to
zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM5 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 has been reduced to
zero; twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and fourteenth, to the Uncertificated Balances
of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 and
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 has been reduced to
zero.

                  (ii) The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all
Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
II Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation
"SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding



                                      135
<PAGE>



distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to
such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance
Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be
allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTXX.

                  SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.06. Commission Reporting.

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

                  (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a
Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent
they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare
or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own
negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the "Certification"),
which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization.



                                      136
<PAGE>



                  (c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K). The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by
no later than March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers,
directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Depositor's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the other party, in connection
with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 4.06 or its
respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith,
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.

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

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

                  (f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate
to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01)
in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment
of this Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the
reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment
pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities
under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 4.07. Pre-Funding Accounts.



                                      137
<PAGE>



                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain two segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts that
are each Eligible Accounts, which shall be titled (i) "Group I Pre-Funding
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for the registered
holders of Argent Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-W11" (the "Group I Pre-Funding Account") and (ii) "Group II
Pre-Funding Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for the
registered holders of Argent Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2004-W11" (the "Group II Pre-Funding Account"). The Trustee
shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding Account and
retain therein the Original Group I Pre-Funded Amount or the Original Group II
Pre-Funding Account, as applicable, remitted on the Closing Date to the Trustee
by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be held in
trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer for
the uses and purposes set forth herein.

                  (b) The Trustee shall invest funds deposited in the
Pre-Funding Accounts in Permitted Investments of the kind described in clauses
(i), (v) or (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments, as specified in a
written direction from the Master Servicer, with a maturity date no later than
the second Business Day preceding each Distribution Date. For federal income tax
purposes, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual
Certificates shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Accounts and shall report all
items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. The Master Servicer
shall deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding Account the amount of any net loss
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon
realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor. The
Pre-Funding Accounts shall not be assets of any Trust REMIC.

                  (c) Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee as follows:

                  (i) on any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
         withdraw from the related Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100%
         of the Stated Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
         transferred and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage
         Pool on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon
         the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set
         forth in Section 2.09 with respect to such transfer and assignment;

                  (ii) if the amount on deposit in the related Pre-Funding
         Account has not been reduced to zero during the Funding Period, on the
         day of the termination of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall deposit
         into the Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding
         Account to be held uninvested;

                  (iii) to withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in
         the Pre-Funding Accounts or deposited therein in error;

                  (iv) to distribute to the Interest Coverage Account any income
         and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Pre-Funding
         Accounts; and



                                      138
<PAGE>



                  (v) to clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Accounts upon the
         earlier to occur of (A) the day immediately following the end of the
         Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement, with any
         amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders of the
         Certificates then entitled to distributions in respect of principal.

                  SECTION 4.08. Interest Coverage Accounts.

                  (a) If any amounts are required to be deposited in an Interest
Coverage Account, no later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account that is an Eligible
Account, which shall be titled (i) "Group I Interest Coverage Account, Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for the registered holders of Argent
Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-W11" (the
"Group I Interest Coverage Account") and (ii) "Group II Pre-Funding Account,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for the registered holders of
Argent Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-W11"
(the "Group II Pre-Funding Account"). The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in each Interest Coverage Account and retain therein the related amount,
remitted on the Closing Date to the Trustee by the Depositor. Funds deposited in
the Interest Coverage Accounts shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurerfor the uses and purposes set
forth herein

                  (b) The Trustee shall invest funds deposited in the Interest
Coverage Accounts in Permitted Investments of the kind described in clauses (i),
(v) or (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments, as specified in a
written direction from the Master Servicer, with a maturity date no later than
the second Business Day preceding each Distribution Date. For federal income tax
purposes, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual
Certificates shall be the owner of the Interest Coverage Accounts and shall
report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. At no
time will either Interest Coverage Account be an asset of any Trust REMIC. All
income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Interest
Coverage Accounts shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master
Servicer and shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Master Servicer on the
first Business Day following each Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall
deposit in the Interest Coverage Accounts the amount of any net loss incurred in
respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such
loss.

                  (c) On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period and on
the last day of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall withdraw from the related
Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Distribution Account an amount
equal to 30 days' interest on the excess, if any, of the related Original
Pre-Funded Amount, over the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of related
Subsequent Mortgage Loans that both (i) had a Due Date during the Due Period
relating to such Distribution Date and (ii) had a Subsequent Cut-off Date prior
to the first day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, at a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the related
Offered Certificates for such Distribution Date, with the Pass-Through Rate on
the related Offered Certificates, solely for the purposes of the foregoing
calculation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the Accrual Period for such Class for such Distribution Date,
and the denominator of which is 30.



                                      139
<PAGE>



Such withdrawal and deposit shall be treated as a contribution of cash by the
Master Servicer to REMIC I. Immediately following any such withdrawal and
deposit, and immediately following the conveyance of any Subsequent Mortgage
Loans to the Trust on any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Interest Coverage Accounts and remit to the Master Servicer or its
designee an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount remaining in such
Interest Coverage Account over the amount that would be required to be withdrawn
therefrom (assuming sufficient funds therein) pursuant to the second preceding
sentence on each subsequent Distribution Date, if any, that will occur during
the Funding Period or that will be the Distribution Date immediately following
the end of the Funding Period, if no Subsequent Mortgage Loans were acquired by
the Trust Fund after the end of the Prepayment Period relating to the current
Distribution Date (assuming that LIBOR remains constant at the level of LIBOR
applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate for the Class A
Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates for the current Distribution Date).

                  (d) Upon the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date immediately
following the end of the Funding Period, (ii) the reduction of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates to zero or (iii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with Section 9.01, any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Coverage
Accounts after distributions pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be withdrawn
by the Trustee and paid to the Depositor or its designee.

                  SECTION 4.09. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 4.10. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered
Holders of Argent Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-W11." The Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account any payments received by it (i) under the Cap Contracts for the
benefit of the Holders of the Adjustable-Rate Certificates and (ii) pursuant to
Section 4.01(a)(4)(iv).

                  (b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, after taking into account
amounts received under the Cap Contracts, rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a).

                  (c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all



                                      140
<PAGE>



amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE
Interest and by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the
termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the
Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any
payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with
respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860G(a)(1).

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

                  (e) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to
invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with
respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in the Deutsche Bank Institutional
Cash Management Fund 541 so long as it is a Permitted Investment. Interest
earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account.

                  (f) For federal income tax return and information reporting,
the value assigned to the right of the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates,
the Group II Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount will be $276,472, $127,344 and $476,184, respectively.

                  SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-15. The Certificates of each Class shall be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be
authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless
there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.

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



                                      142
<PAGE>



normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry
Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in
accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to
act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified to
act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is
not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository), to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, if it so elects, the
Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry
Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies
of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry
Custodian.

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

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee
through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the
Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the
Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the case of the Class M-11 Certificates),
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such



                                      143
<PAGE>



instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
                                Certificates.

                  (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar
for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other
bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as
the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall
at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of
any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor),
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: (i) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect
the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other
cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the
Trust Fund), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee
is obligated to register or qualify the Class M-11 Certificates, the Class CE
Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the Residual Certificates under the
1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise


                                      144
<PAGE>



required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates
without registration or qualification. If a transfer of an Ownership Interest in
the Class M-11 Certificates is to be made without registration under the 1933
Act (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer
of any such Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the
issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may
conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the
Certificateholder and the Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be
deemed to have represented such certification), to the effect that, among other
things, the transfer is being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined
in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Class M-11 Certificate,
Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

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

                  (c) No transfer of a Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101
("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G,
unless either (i) the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the
benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer
and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, which shall be to the effect
that the purchase and holding of such Certificates is permissible under
applicable law, shall not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and shall not subject the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or (ii) solely in the case of the Class
M-11 Certificates, the Trustee receives a certification from the prospective
transferee in the form of Exhibit G that the Class M-11 Certificates have been
offered in an underwriting or placement within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended ("PTE 2002-41"). Neither an Opinion of
Counsel nor any certification shall be required in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan



                                      145
<PAGE>



Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee.

                  Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than
the Class M-11 Certificates) or any interest in any such Certificates shall be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
Certificate or interest therein (or shall be deemed to represent, in the case of
the Class M-11 Certificates), that either (i) it is not a Plan or acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Plan or with Plan Assets or (ii) (1) it
is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the
certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general account," as
such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III
of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

                  Subsequent to the date of the certification under (c)(ii)
above, each beneficial owner of a Class M-11 Certificate or any interest
therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or
holding of the Certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan
or acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Plan or with Plan Assets or
(ii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or
hold the certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general
account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

                  If any Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate, Residual
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

                  (d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate
Registrar or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a
Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale
under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:

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

                  (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
         Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
         require delivery to it and shall not



                                      146
<PAGE>



         register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of
         an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in
         the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee,
         in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar,
         representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee
         is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
         Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the
         proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is
         not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its
         Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it shall endeavor to
         remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions
         of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

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

                  (D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
         a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
         and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
         transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not
         to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor
         Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2), to the
         Certificate Registrar stating that, among other things, it has no
         actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

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

                  (ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of
any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably
required by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. In
addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the
Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the
Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee.

                  (iii)(A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate
Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(d) or for making any



                                      147
<PAGE>



         payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking
         any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
         this Agreement.

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

                  (iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations
sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess
inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having among its
record Holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the
Trustee.

                  (v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to
modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

                  (A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
         that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
         shall not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current
         ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

                  (B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
         to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
         elimination of such provisions shall not cause any Trust REMIC to cease
         to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case
         may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of
         any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
         or (y) a Person



                                      148
<PAGE>



         other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax
         caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is
         not a Permitted Transferee.

                  The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer a copy of the items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B)
above.

                  (e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  (f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee, shall execute and cause the Certificate
Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, (i) with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof
may exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R Certificate for three
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III
Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R
Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate,
the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X
Certificate for two separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's
respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-IV Interest and the Class R-V
Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X
Certificate being exchanged.

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

                  (h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with
its customary procedures.

                  (i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless
the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee
of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated
copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August
of each year, commencing in March 2005.

<PAGE>



                  (j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in
violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void ab initio
and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the
prior permitted Holder.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
actual knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or the Trustee shall
execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.

                  SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent
of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.

                  On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to an Independent third
party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any private
placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in
connection with the offer and sale of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P
Certificates or the Residual Certificates. In addition, if any such private
placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented
at any time following the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor
promptly shall inform the Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee
ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as
revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate
Trust Office and shall make available free of charge during normal business
hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate and/or Certificate Owner or any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder or
prospective transferee of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a
Residual Certificate,



                                      150

the private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such
Certificates if any, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii)
in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant
to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the
Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written
communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications
delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered
to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the
Master Servicer's determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
respectively, and (E) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered to the
Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section
4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items shall be
available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the person requesting
the same.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                      THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER

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

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

                  SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
                                Master Servicer.

                  Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall keep
in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following
paragraph, the Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties
under this Agreement.

                  The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A Certificates (without regard to the Policy) and the
Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation shall not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof
(as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

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

                  None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of
warranties, representations or



                                      152
<PAGE>



covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

                  The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as
any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to
this Agreement) or, in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master
Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case
of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights
or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.

                  SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
                                Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the
written consent of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and
written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be
furnished to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the
then current rating of the Class A Certificates (without regard to the Policy)
or the Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of
the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the



                                      153
<PAGE>



Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer acceptable to
the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                  Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall
not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.

                  SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
                                Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such
Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee its
(and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other
information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant
to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer's (or any such
Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement
or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal
counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating
agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in
either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but
is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
                                Servicer and Sub-Servicers.



                                      154
<PAGE>



                  (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates
(without regard to the Policy) and the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such
Sub-Servicing Agreement) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable
the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan
originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit
accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae
approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the
Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement
and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make
amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered
into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions
relating to insurance in Section 3.10 or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and
amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any
amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's
execution and delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement and of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make
advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing
Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective
documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general



                                      155
<PAGE>



recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Master
Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer,
shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and
obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the
event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such
Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any
act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the
Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 6.06.

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

                  SECTION 6.08. Liability of the Master Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 6.09. No Contractual Relationship Between
                                Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, the
                                Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or
                                Certificateholders.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and



                                      156
<PAGE>



shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to
the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 6.10. The Master Servicer shall
be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is
sufficient to pay such fees.

                  SECTION 6.10. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause
its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have
entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption,
the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as
if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 6.11. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

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




                                      157
<PAGE>



For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                  SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.

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

                  (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee
         for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
         Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer
         Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the
         terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied
         for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in
         which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master
         Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the
         Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
         or

                  (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
         observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
         agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
         Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the
         Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to
         which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant
         to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement)
         which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of
         (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
         same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
         the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor
         and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
         entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge
         of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or

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

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

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

                  (vi) any failure by the Master Servicer under the Master
         Servicer Termination Test; or

                  (vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance
         on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own
         funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00
         p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date.

                  If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, or at the written direction
of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, or at
the direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this
Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause
(vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with
Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance (which Advance shall be part
of Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section
7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other
than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the
expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
(and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to
provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it
to assume the Master Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Servicing Account held
by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master



                                      160
<PAGE>



Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on
or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or
otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is
received by the Trustee of any such event and such notice references the
Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.

                  The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master
Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or
expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.

                  SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to
make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from
making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer
so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to each Rating Agency



                                      161
<PAGE>



(with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such appointment shall not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates (without regard to the Policy)) and acceptable to the NIMS Insurer
and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.

                  Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a
successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of
a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing
and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting
the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof) (including that such mortgage loan servicing institution will be
acceptable to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer). Such public announcement
shall specify that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the
servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master
Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the
Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith
and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
satisfactory bid as to the price they shall pay to obtain such servicing. The
Trustee upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the
Master Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the
Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of
any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum
shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.

                  (b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the
terms of the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section
7.02(b), a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a
proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance
is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall
upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice
of termination under Section 7.01, advance the amount of such Remittance by
depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution
Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make



                                      162
<PAGE>



such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee
can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and
(ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating
itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the
deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so
advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the Distribution
Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the
Trustee's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own funds interest on the
amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an advance under
this Subsection which it later determines in its good faith judgment shall not
be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such
advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such
advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of
amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion of such advance
attributable to the Stayed Funds.

                  (c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse
itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii),
Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master
Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances,
but instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the
extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with
Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself
for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii),
as the case may be. All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in-first out" (FIFO) basis. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related
Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances
made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit
in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be
permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or
Section 3.05(a)(vii).

                  SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer at
their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

                  (b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer, the



                                      163
<PAGE>



Certificate Insurer and to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such
occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have
been cured or waived.

                  SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

                  The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
(with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates
affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive
such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a
default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section
7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates (with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event
of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS
Insurer.

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

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

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
         to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
         faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the
         Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights


                                      165
<PAGE>



         relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
         any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
         conferred upon it, under this Agreement.

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

                  SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties;

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
         exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
         to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of
         this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
         applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
         reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
         herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
         occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been
         cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
         it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
         their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
         circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;

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



                                      166
<PAGE>



                  (v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
         Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
         Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make
         any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
         requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of
         Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided,
         however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
         the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
         making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not
         reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the
         Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or
         liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a
         condition to taking any such action;

                  (vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys; and

                  (vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
         resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account,
         the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the
         Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.

                  (b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.

                  (c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute,
deliver and perform obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Adjustable-Rate Certificates. The
Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the
Adjustable-Rate Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates
acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Cap Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as
Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.

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

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section
8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes
no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the
Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the


                                      167
<PAGE>



Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than, subject to Section 8.01,
any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04.

                  SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

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

                  SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

                  (a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee and, to the extent
that the funds therein are at any time insufficient for such purpose, the
Depositor shall pay such fees. The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by REMIC I and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee including the compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of
the Trustee's performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement)
incurred by the Trustee in connection with any claim or legal action or any
pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement , other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a
breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement and
the Mortgage Loans (for which the Master Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to
Section 8.05(b)), (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of its obligations under Article X
hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee in respect of the indemnification provided by this
paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust
Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time.

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

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall pay any annual rating agency
fees of the Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without
right of reimbursement.

                  SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

<PAGE>



                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer and the
Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee,
the Depositor shall with the Certificate Insurer consent promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, then the Certificate Insurer may appoint a successor Trustee
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS
Insurer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Trustee or of its respective property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or
the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Depositor, one



                                      169
<PAGE>



complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor.

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

                  SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee
shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents
and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder (other than any
Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall become the
agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
(without regard to the Policy) by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter
from each Rating Agency.

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to the Certificate Insurer and all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

                  SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

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

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

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

                  In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.

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

                  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of



                                      171
<PAGE>



its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

                  SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Custodians.

                  The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement.
The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer
to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Trustee shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance
with each Custodial Agreement (provided that if expenses of the kind that would
be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 if incurred by the
Trustee are incurred by the Custodian, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement under Section 8.05 for such kind of expenses to the extent the
Trustee has paid such expenses on behalf of the Custodian or for which the
Trustee has reimbursed the Custodian). The Trustee initially appoints the
Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer consent to
such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply
with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and
provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution approved by the
Certificate Insurer or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state
authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and
shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any
Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in
Section 11.01. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a
Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee shall designate an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be
delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its
agent located c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park
Entrance, New York, New York 10041 for such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date,
that:

                  (i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
         States.

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
         the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
         shall not violate its charter or



                                      172
<PAGE>



         bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse
         of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the
         breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a
         party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

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

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

                  (v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
         of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
         or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
         of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
         which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
         to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                  (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge,
         threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this
         Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
         materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   TERMINATION

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

                  (a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC
II Regular Interests or the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all
amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid
or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier
to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.
Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James,
living on the date hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination
Price") equal to greater of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the
assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised fair market value of the REO Properties plus accrued
interest through the end of the calendar month preceding the month of the final
Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances (in the
case of fair market values required to be determined under (A) or (B) above, as
determined by the Terminator, the Trustee and, if the Terminator is not the NIMS
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, as of the close of business on the third Business Day
next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished
to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01);
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay (i) any amounts owed to the Certificate Insurer under the
Insurance Agreement and (ii) all interest accrued on, as well as amounts
necessary to retire the note balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to
the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the time the option is
exercised. If a termination pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b)
will result in a claim under the Policy or if any amount owed to the Certificate
Insurer will not be fully reimbursed after such termination, the consent of the
Certificate Insurer shall be required prior to the Terminator exercising such
option.

                  (b) The Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be
retired; provided,



                                      174
<PAGE>



however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only (A) if
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than
10% of the sum of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (y) the Original Pre-Funded Amounts
and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of the
Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of
servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the
benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if
it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance
of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to pledge any amounts in excess of
par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such
amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

                  (c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular Interests
shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection
with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator,
not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund shall terminate and final payment in respect of
the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the
Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of
any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the
REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests or the Certificates
from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution
Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee. The Trustee
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection
with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day
preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final
deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the
Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to
effectuate such transfer.

                  (d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on
such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate



                                      175
<PAGE>



non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds
in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the
assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice
any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee shall first reimburse any amounts which were paid by the Certificate
Insurer under the Policy to the Certificate Insurer (but only if the
non-surrendered Certificates are Insured Certificates) and second, shall pay to
the Representative all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

                  Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

                  SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements:

                  (i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
         liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
         Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
         satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
         of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
         of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;

                  (ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to
         the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
         Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
         cash; and

                  (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the

                  (b) At the expense of the applicable Terminator (or in the

                  (a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a

REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the Class CE
Interest, the Class P Interest and the interests represented by the
Certificates.

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

                  (c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund caused by the Trustee (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to
any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of

tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any
tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to
enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.

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

                  (f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each
REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to
the effect that the contemplated action shall not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall
the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer
has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the
respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which
is not



                                      179
<PAGE>



contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
consult with the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or its
designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse
REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer
shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action
as to which the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer has advised
it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer may consult with counsel to make such
written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take
the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be
an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall ensure that substantially all of
the assets of any Trust REMIC shall consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

                  (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

                  (h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken
by any party other than the Trustee, the Trustee's compliance with this Article
X.

                  (i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification
Number for the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or
such other form as is appropriate.

                  (j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund shall not cause the related REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

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

                  SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in
connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not
limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of
REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), or acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), or
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, or accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer (at the
expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution shall not (a)
affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust
REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer for any
taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees
imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
caused solely by the Trustee's failure to act in accordance with its standard of
care set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed
upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

                  (b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee for any
taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees
imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a
result of a breach of the Master Servicer's covenants set forth in Article III
or this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust
as a result of the location of the Master Servicer or any subservicer.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, if
applicable, the Custodian with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and without the
consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect,
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give
effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), or in any Custodial
Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, the Policy or in any Custodial Agreement
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or such
Custodial Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by either
(i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee to such effect or (ii) confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that such amendment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates (without regard to the
Policy). No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such
amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any
Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action shall not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner other than
as described in (i), or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately
preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with
respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement
shall require the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer if such
amendment adversely affects in any respect the rights or interests of the
Certificate Insurer or of the Insured Certificates (without



                                      182
<PAGE>



regard to the Policy). The Master Servicer shall send a copy of any proposed
amendment to this Agreement to the Certificate Insurer prior to execution of the
amendment. The Certificate Insurer shall notify the Trustee in writing, within a
reasonable time following its receipt of a copy of the proposed amendment,
whether the Certificate Insurer has determined that its consent to such
amendment is required.

                  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, none
of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer to the
effect that such amendment shall not result in the imposition of any tax on any
Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

                  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter
into any amendment of this Agreement that would significantly change the
permitted activities of the Trust Fund without the consent of the NIMS Insurer,
the Certificate Insurer and the Holders of Certificates that represent more than
50% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and the
Certificate Insurer.

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

                  The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.

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

                  SECTION 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

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

Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i)
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in the name of the Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the
Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any
manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to
such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

                  SECTION 11.04. Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties

<PAGE>



                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor or the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
or the Seller and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller
and the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller's
and the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and
all amounts payable to the Holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the
Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in
clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders the performance by the Depositor of the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01
and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true,
absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting
the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 11.10. Third Party Rights.

                  The NIMS Insurer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of
this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have
the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE CERTIFICATE INSURER

                  SECTION 12.01. Exercise of Rights of Holder of the Insured
                                 Certificates.

                  Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee,
and, by accepting its Certificate, each Holder of an Insured Certificate, agrees
that unless a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Certificate Insurer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Holders
of the Insured Certificates under this Agreement (except as provided in clause
(i) of the second paragraph of Section 11.01) without any further consent of the
Holders of the Insured Certificates, including, without limitation: (i) the
right to direct foreclosures upon Mortgage Loans upon failure of the Master
Servicer to do so; (ii) the right to require the Seller to repurchase or
substitute for Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03; (iii) the right to give
notices of breach or to terminate the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01; (iv) the right to direct the actions of the
Trustee during the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default pursuant to
Sections 7.01 and 7.02; (v) the right to consent to or direct any waivers of
Master Servicer Events of Default pursuant to Section 7.04; (vi) the right to
direct the Trustee to investigate certain matters pursuant to Section
8.02(a)(v); and (vii) the right to remove the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07
hereof.

                  In addition, each Insured Certificateholder agrees that,
unless a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights
specifically set forth above may be exercised by the Insured Certificateholders
only with the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer.

                  SECTION 12.02. Trustee to Act Solely with Consent of
                                 Certificate Insurer.

                  Unless a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall not: (i) agree to any amendment pursuant to
Section 11.01 or (ii) undertake any litigation pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iii)
at the request or direction of the Certificateholders, without the prior written
consent of the Certificate Insurer which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or prevent
the Trustee from defending itself or the Trust Fund or taking any action related
thereto.

                  SECTION 12.03. Trust Fund and Accounts Held for Benefit of
                                 Certificate Insurer.

                  The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund and the Mortgage Files
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and all
references in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Sections 2.01
and 2.02) and in the Certificates to the benefit of Holders of the Certificates
shall be deemed to include the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall cooperate
in all reasonable respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate
Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or
interests under this Agreement and the Certificates.



                                      188
<PAGE>


                  The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it
shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties,
and shall maintain the Collection Account and any REO Account, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer, and
all references in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section
3.01) to the benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be
deemed to include the Certificate Insurer. Unless a Certificate Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Depositor
shall undertake any litigation pursuant to Section 6.03 (other than litigation
to enforce their respective rights hereunder or defend themselves against claims
made against them) without the prior consent of the Certificate Insurer.

                  SECTION 12.04. Claims Upon the Policy; Policy Payments
                                 Account.

                  (a) If, at or before 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the second
Business Day prior to a Distribution Date, the Trustee determines that a
Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall for such Distribution Date is greater than
zero, then the Trustee shall give notice to the Certificate Insurer by telephone
or telecopy of the amount of such Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall. Such
notice of such Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall shall be confirmed in writing
in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Endorsement to the Policy, to the
Certificate Insurer and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in the Policy), if any, at
or before 2:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day prior to such
Distribution Date. Following Receipt (as defined in the Policy) by the
Certificate Insurer of such notice in such form, the Certificate Insurer or the
Fiscal Agent shall pay any amount payable under the Policy on the later to occur
of (i) 12:00 noon New York time on the second Business Day following such
receipt and (ii) 12:00 noon New York time on the Distribution Date to which such
Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall relates, as provided in the Endorsement to
the Policy.

                  (b) The Trustee shall establish a segregated non-interest
bearing trust account for the benefit of Holders of the Insured Certificates and
the Certificate Insurer referred to herein as the "Policy Payments Account" over
which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The
Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under the Policy in the Policy Payments
Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to Holders of
Insured Certificates of the Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall or any amount in
respect of a Preference Claim (as defined in the Policy) for which a claim under
the Policy was made, and such amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund.
Amounts paid under the Policy shall be transferred to the Distribution Account
in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph and disbursed by the Trustee to
Holders of Insured Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01(h) (or, in the
case of an amount in respect of a Preference Claim, to the related Holders of
Insured Certificates as contemplated in Section 12.04(d)). It shall not be
necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from
the checks or wire transfers used to pay the other distributions to be made to
such Holders pursuant to Section 4.01. However, the amount of any payment of
principal of or interest on the Insured Certificates to be paid from funds
transferred from the Policy Payments Account shall be noted as provided in
paragraph (c) below in the Certificate Register and in the statement to be
furnished to Holders of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02. Funds
held in the Policy Payments Account shall not be invested.



                                      189
<PAGE>



                  On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has
been made under the Policy, the amount of any funds received by the Trustee as a
result of any claim under the Policy, to the extent required to pay the
Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall on such Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn
from the Policy Payments Account and deposited in the Distribution Account and
applied by the Trustee, directly to the payment in full of the Guaranteed
Distributions Shortfall due on the Insured Certificates. Funds received by the
Trustee as a result of any claim under the Policy shall be deposited by the
Trustee in the Policy Payments Account and used solely for payment to the
Holders of the Insured Certificates and may not be applied to satisfy any costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund.
Any funds remaining in the Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day
following a Distribution Date shall be remitted to the Certificate Insurer,
pursuant to the instructions of the Certificate Insurer, by the end of such
Business Day.

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

                  (d) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer
and Fiscal Agent of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance
as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any Guaranteed Distribution (as defined
in the Policy) made with respect to the Insured Certificates. Each Holder of the
Insured Certificates, by its purchase of such Certificates, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee hereby agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no
Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) may at any time
during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct
all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation,
(i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim
and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any
such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the
Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and each Holder of the Insured Certificates in the conduct of any
such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to
an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in
connection with any such Preference Claim.

                  SECTION 12.05. Effect of Payments by Certificate Insurer;
                                 Subrogation.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment
with respect to principal of or interest on any of the Insured Certificates
which is made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not
be considered payment of such Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not
result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or
interest on such Certificates within the meaning of Section 4.01. The Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder of an Insured
Certificate by its acceptance of a such Certificate agrees, that without the
need for any further action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (i) to the extent the Certificate
Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or
interest



                                      190
<PAGE>



on any Insured Certificates to the Holders of such Certificates, the Certificate
Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such
principal and interest from the Trust Fund and (ii) the Certificate Insurer
shall be paid such principal and interest but only from the sources and in the
manner provided herein for the payment of such principal and interest.

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

                  SECTION 12.06. Notices to Certificate Insurer.

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

                  SECTION 12.07. Third Party Beneficiary.

                  The Certificate Insurer shall be deemed a third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto,
and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 12.08. Trustee to Hold the Policy.

                  The Trustee shall hold the Policy in trust as agent for the
Holders of the Insured Certificates for the purpose of making claims thereon and
distributing the proceeds thereof. Upon the later of (i) the date upon which the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Certificates has been reduced to
zero and all Guaranteed Distributions (as defined in the Policy) have been made
and (ii) the date the Term of This Policy (as defined in the Policy) ends, the
Trustee shall surrender the Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation.
Neither the Policy nor the amounts paid on the Policy shall constitute part of
the Trust Fund or assets of any Trust REMIC created by this Agreement. Each
Holder of Insured Certificates, by accepting its Certificates, appoints the
Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making claims on the Policy.

                  SECTION 12.09. Termination of Certain of Certificate Insurer's
                                 Rights.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere in this
Agreement, all rights of the Certificate Insurer, except in the case of any
right to indemnification hereunder, shall permanently cease to be operable upon
the latest to occur of (A) the date upon which the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Insured Certificates has been reduced to zero and all Guaranteed
Distributions (as defined in the Policy) have been made, (B) the date the Term
of This Policy (as defined in the Policy) ends and (C) the payment in full to
the Certificate Insurer of all amounts paid under the Policy plus interest at
the Late Payment Rate thereon from the date such payment was made and any other
amounts owing to the Certificate Insurer under the Insurance Agreement.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only

specified in the Agreement. As

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the

entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

transferees.

specified in the Agreement. As


                                      A-7-3

<PAGE>

Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of
interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall
be the lesser of (x) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (y)
the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date. For any Distribution
Date and this Certificate, the Formula Rate is the lesser of (a) One-Month LIBOR
plus the Certificate Margin and (b) the Maximum Cap Rate. The Certificate Margin
with respect to this Certificate is 0.850% on each Distribution Date through and
including the Optional Termination Date and 1.275% thereafter.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As


                                      A-8-3
<PAGE>
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

adjustable-rate and fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
formed and sold by

                             ARGENT SECURITIES INC.

         THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
         ARGENT SECURITIES INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF
         THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
         UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR
         INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

                  This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a
Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate
by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-6 Certificates as
of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by

Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among Argent Securities
Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term includes any successor
entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on

Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-6 Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by

entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at

including the Optional Termination Date and 1.875% thereafter.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As

                                 A-10-3


<PAGE>

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                                  A-11-3


<PAGE>
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As

                                      A-14-3

<PAGE>

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without

Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination Date.

the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the

                                      A-17-4


<PAGE>
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1,
and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                      ASSET-BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund")
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family
adjustable-rate and fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
formed and sold by

                             ARGENT SECURITIES INC.

         THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
         ARGENT SECURITIES INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF
         THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
         UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR
         INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

                  This certifies that Ameriquest Mortgage Company is the
registered owner of a Percentage Interest specified above in that certain
beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class R Certificates created

"Agreement"), among Argent Securities Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor,"

Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at

this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called

                                      A-18-3


<PAGE>
the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on
the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1,
and (ii) in all other cases, an

                                      A-18-4


<PAGE>

Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the
written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as residual
interests in three REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat


                                      A-18-5


<PAGE>

the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

                      ASSET-BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund")
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family
adjustable-rate and fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
formed and sold by

                             ARGENT SECURITIES INC.

         THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
         ARGENT SECURITIES INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF
         THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
         UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR
         INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

                  This certifies that MKM I Corp. is the registered owner of a
Percentage Interest specified above in that certain beneficial ownership
interest evidenced by all the Class R-X Certificates created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"),
among Argent Securities Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer and the
Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth
hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at
least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called

                                      A-19-3


<PAGE>


the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on
the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1,
and (ii) in all other cases, an

                                      A-19-4


<PAGE>

Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the
written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as
residual interests in two REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA
share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat


                                      A-19-5


<PAGE>

the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the sum of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

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

<PAGE>






                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated October 6, 2004, between Ameriquest Mortgage Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Seller"), and Argent Securities Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. The Purchaser shall deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool constituting the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a
single series of asset-backed pass-through certificates designated as Series
2004-W11 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of nineteen classes
of certificates. The Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the
Residual Certificates (collectively, the "Non-Offered Certificates") will be
delivered to the Seller or its designee as partial consideration for the
Mortgage Loans as further described below.

                  The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement relating to the Series 2004-W11 Certificates, dated as of
October 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Purchaser as
depositor (in such capacity, the "Depositor"), the Seller as master servicer (in
such capacity the "Master Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Depositor will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

                  The parties hereto agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller hereby sells, and
the Purchaser hereby purchases, as of October 8, 2004 (the "Closing Date"),
certain adjustable-rate and fixed-rate conventional, one- to four-family,
residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal
balance as of the close of business on October 1, 2004 (the "Cut-off Date") of
$1,399,988,464.82, after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans
on or before the Cut-off Date (the "Closing Balance"), whether or not received,
including the right to any Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date
from the Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage
Loans. Any payments (including Prepayment Charges) collected on or before the
Cut-off Date, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on
or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date, shall belong to
the Seller. In addition to the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller will cause
the Cap Contracts to be transferred to the Purchaser.

                  SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE AND PREPAYMENT CHARGE
SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage
loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to
the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule")



<PAGE>

describing such Mortgage Loans and setting forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall conform to the
requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall
be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Seller shall also prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing
Date a final schedule (the "Prepayment Charge Schedule") setting forth each
Mortgage Loan containing a Prepayment Charge and conforming to the definition of
Prepayment Charge Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION.

                  (a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, (i) pay to or upon
the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
net sale proceeds of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the

                  (b) In connection with the transactions contemplated by
Section 2.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller hereby agrees
that the Purchaser shall be under no obligation to purchase any Subsequent
Mortgage Loans unless (i) the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.10 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Subsequent Transfer Instrument,
substantially in the form of Exhibit L of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
are satisfied and (ii) each Subsequent Mortgage Loan satisfies the
representations and warranties contained in Section 6 of this Agreement. The
sale of Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor shall be
effected in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to a Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
substantially in the form of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 4. TRANSFER OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  (a) POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does hereby sell
to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement,
all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans,
including the related Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date. The
contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing
Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the
sale and contribution of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note,
the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is
vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the
possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in

                  (b) DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS. The Seller will, on

or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:

                    (1) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank without
               recourse or in the following form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche
               Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable
               agreement, without recourse," with all prior and intervening
               endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
               originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee, or with
               respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note
               Affidavit; provided, however, that such substitutions of Lost
               Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with
               respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
               Balance of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool
               Balance as of the Cut-off Date;

                    (2) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
               thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording
               office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was
               executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of
               recording thereon;

                    (3) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
               recourse;

                    (4) the original recorded intervening Assignment or
               Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the
               originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as
               contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (3) or the
               original unrecorded intervening Assignments;

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

                    (6) the original lender's title insurance policy or an
               attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title
               acceptable to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction
               where the Mortgaged Property is located, together with all
               endorsements or riders which were issued with or subsequent to
               the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the
               Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented
               therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the
               event such original title policy is unavailable, a written
               commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title
               issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

                  If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(2), 4(b)(3) or
4(b)(4) above has been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been
returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or
such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the
obligations of the Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
(1) delivery by or on behalf of the Seller promptly upon receipt thereof to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of either the
original or a copy of such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x)
above or the public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the recorded original thereof and (2) if such



                                       3
<PAGE>

delivered copy is certified by the Seller, then in addition thereto, delivery
promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. In the event that the original lender's title insurance policy has not
yet been issued, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder
or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.
Promptly upon receipt by the Seller of any such original title insurance policy
the Seller shall deliver such to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser.

                  The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon mutual agreement between the
Seller and the Trustee, following the later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the
date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Trustee and (iii) the
date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage)
submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or the Trustee, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in (3) and (4) above and shall execute each original
Assignment referred to in (3) in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement". In the event that any
such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or
cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to
reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be
submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in
Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates
(without regard to the Policy); provided further, however, each Assignment shall
be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i)
reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer, if any, (ii) a failure of the Master Servicer
Termination Test as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iii) the
occurrence of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of
a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to
any one assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

                  Each original document relating to any Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser or its
assignee, transferee or designee.

                  (c) ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after
the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered

right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the
Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the assignee shall succeed to
the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably

Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the
Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as
provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

               Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such
               Mortgage Note, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
               Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
               thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in

               counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no

               in good repair;

                    (10) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all
               material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws
               and regulations, including, without limitation, usury, equal

               has modified, impaired or waived the Mortgage in any material
               respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a
               written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to
               protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been

               force and effect, the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to
               the Purchaser will not affect the validity or enforceability of
               such policy and each such policy was issued by a title insurer
               qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
               Property is located and in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or
               Freddie Mac, which policy insures the Seller and successor owners
               of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first
               priority lien of the Mortgage; no claims have been made under
               such lender's title insurance policy and no prior holder of the
               related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
               omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
               lender's title insurance policy;

                    (13) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller, or an
               Affiliate of the Seller, in accordance with the underwriting
               standards as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement (or, if
               generated by an entity other than the Seller or an Affiliate of
               the Seller, in accordance with such other underwriting standards
               as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement or, if generated on
               behalf of the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller by a person
               other than the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, is subject
               to the same underwriting standards and procedures used by the
               Seller in originating mortgage loans directly as set forth in the
               Prospectus Supplement) or by a savings and loan association,
               savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or
               similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal
               or state authority (including a mortgage

               broker), or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing
               and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
               National Housing Act;

                    (14) With respect to each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, on
               each adjustment date, the Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal
               the Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%,
               subject to the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage Rate and
               the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note is payable
               on the first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly
               installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in
               arrears, and requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to
               fully amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
               Loan over its remaining term and to pay interest at the
               applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative
               amortization;

                    (15) All of the improvements which were included for the
               purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged
               Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
               restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on
               adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except
               those, if any, which are insured against by the lender's title
               insurance policy referred to in (12) above.

                    (16) All inspections, licenses and certificates required to
               be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the
               Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to certificates of
               occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
               authorities, and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
               under applicable law except as may otherwise be insured against
               by the lender's title insurance policy referred to in (12) above.

                    (17) All parties which have had any interest in the
               Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise,
               are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of
               such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
               licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
               Mortgaged Property is located;

                    (18) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine,
               and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
               thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms and with
               applicable laws. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the
               Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the
               Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and
               properly executed by such parties;

                    (19) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
               disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder
               and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
               off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
               therefor have been complied with, except any Mortgaged Property
               or Mortgage Loan subject to an Escrow Withhold as defined in the
               Originator's underwriting guidelines. All costs, fees and
               expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage
               Loans were paid;

                    (20) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
               provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder
               thereof adequate for the



                                       9
<PAGE>

               realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
               security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
               a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
               judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption
               available to the Mortgagor which would materially interfere with
               the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or
               the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

                    (21) 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 Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of
               trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default
               by the Mortgagor;

                    (22) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow
               deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary
               arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no
               escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the
               Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related
               Mortgage Note;

                    (23) The origination, collection and servicing practices
               used by the Seller or its Affiliate with respect to each Mortgage
               Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, reasonable
               and customary in the subprime mortgage origination and servicing
               business and each of the Mortgage Loans have been serviced by the
               Seller since origination;

                    (24) There is no pledged account or other security other

               hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
               is located representing coverage not less than the lesser of the
               outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the
               minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
               replacement cost basis. All individual insurance policies and
               flood policies referred to in clause (27) below contain a
               standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the original
               mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and the
               Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable
               thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
               thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood
               insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
               Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
               Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's
               cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
               Mortgagor, except as may be limited or restricted by applicable
               law;

               other party under the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage
               Note to make payments in lieu of or in addition to those made by
               the Mortgagor;

                    (31) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have
               been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured

<PAGE>

               Loans originated prior to such date will not impose a Prepayment
               Charge for a term in excess of five (5) years;

                    (42) No Mortgage Loan that is secured by property located in

               Home Loan" within the meaning of the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as
               amended (the "Georgia Act");

                    (43) The Master Servicer for each Mortgage Loan prior to the
               Closing Date, has fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair
               Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
               and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its
               borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit
               Information Company or their successors (the "Credit
               Repositories") on a monthly basis;

                    (44) There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or
               after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 which is secured
               by property located in the State of Georgia;

                    (45) The Prepayment Charges included in the transaction are
               enforceable and originated in compliance with all applicable
               federal, state and local law;

                    (46) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance
               single-premium credit insurance policies;

                    (47) No Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan,
               as applicable (as such terms are defined in Standard & Poor's
               LEVELS Version 5.6 Glossary Revised, Appendix E); and

                    (48) With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or
               after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the
               related Mortgage Note requires the borrower to submit to
               arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in
               any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.

                  (b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the
Purchaser, with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date or
as of such date specifically provided herein:

                    (1) Each Group I Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the
               anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of
               Fannie Mae's Selling Guide;

                    (2) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of
               credit for each Group I Mortgage Loan employs objective
               mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor's income,
               assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such
               underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the
               Mortgagor's equity in the collateral as the principal determining
               factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting
               methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
               (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
               make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;

                                       13
<PAGE>

                    (3) With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains
               a provision permitting imposition of a charge upon a prepayment
               prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's
               origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such charge in exchange for
               a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee
               reduction, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination,
               the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan
               that did not require payment of such a charge, (iii) the
               prepayment charge is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan
               documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) for
               loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the duration of the
               prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date
               of the Mortgage Note unless the loan was modified to reduce the
               prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of
               the Mortgage Note and the borrower was notified in writing of
               such reduction in the prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding
               any state or federal law to the contrary, the Master Servicer
               shall not impose such prepayment charge in any instance when the
               mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's
               default in making the loan payments;

                    (4) All points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage
               Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
               with applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in
               the case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal
               amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an
               unprofitable origination, no Mortgagor was charged "points and
               fees" (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of
               the principal amount of such loan and such 5% limitation is
               calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending
               requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide;

                    (5) All fees and charges (including finance charges) and
               whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected
               in connection with the origination and servicing of each Group I
               Mortgage Loan haves been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in
               accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;

                    (6) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was encouraged or
               required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the
               Originator which is a higher cost product designed for a less
               creditworthy Mortgagor, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's
               origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account
               credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit
               product then offered by the Originator;

                    (7) The Master Servicer will transmit full-file credit
               reporting data for each Group I Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie
               Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Group I Mortgage
               Loan, the Master Servicer agrees it shall report one of the
               following statuses each month as follows: new origination,
               current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or
               charged-off;

                    (8) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "High Cost Home Loan" as
               defined in New York Banking Law 6-1;

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

missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in
the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or such defect or
breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within ninety (90) days of its
discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
at a price equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is subject to a breach of the representation
and warranty (37) and (45) in Section 6(a) resulting in the Master Servicer's
inability to collect all or part of the Prepayment Charge from the Mortgagor, in
lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be obligated to remit to the Master
Servicer (for deposit in the Collection Account) any shortfall in the Prepayment
Charge collected upon the Mortgagor's voluntary Principal Prepayment.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the
breach of the representation (37) and (45) of the Seller set forth in Section
6(a) above, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders
of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the
amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net
of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect
of such Prepayment Charge.

                  The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended
Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any
such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a
manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  In addition, upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser, or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt
written notice within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90)
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall either
(i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans.

                  (b) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure, remit a Prepayment Charge shortfall,
repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller



                                       16
<PAGE>

respecting a missing or defective material document or a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

                  SECTION 8. CLOSING; PAYMENT FOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS. The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New
York City office of Thacher Proffitt & Wood LLP at 10:00 AM New York City time

                    material respects as of the date as of which they are made
                    and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the
                    passage of time, would constitute a default under this
                    Agreement;

               (b)  The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the
                    Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be released from
                    escrow at the time of closing), all Closing Documents as
                    specified in Section 9 of this Agreement, in such forms as
                    are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly
                    executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as
                    required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

               (c)  The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered
                    and released to the Purchaser or to its designee, all
                    documents (including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans)
                    required to be so delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to
                    Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

               (d)  All other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have
                    been complied with.

                  Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, against
delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the
Mortgage Loans as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, by delivery to the
Seller of the Purchase Price.

                  SECTION 9. CLOSING DOCUMENTS. Without limiting the generality

                    Agreement and upon which the Certificate Insurer and the
                    Underwriters may rely;

               (e)  A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP, certified public
                    accountants, dated the date hereof and to the effect that
                    they have performed certain specified procedures as a result
                    of which they determined that certain information of an

                  SECTION 11. RESERVED.

                  SECTION 12. RESERVED.

                  SECTION 13. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the
Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this
Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be



                                       19
<PAGE>

paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or
satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the
Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the
Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and the security
interest created by this Section 13 shall be deemed to have been released.

                  SECTION 14. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if
to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 1100 Town & Country Road, Suite
1100, Orange, California 92868, Facsimile: (714) 564-9639, Attention: General
Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in
writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 1100 Town
& Country Road, Suite 1100, Orange, California 92868, Facsimile: (714) 564-9639,
Attention: General Counsel, or to such other address as the Seller may designate
in writing to the Purchaser.

                  SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

                  SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller and the Purchaser
agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of
the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS,
DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW
PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS




                                       20
<PAGE>

OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS
AGREEMENT.

                  SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Each
of the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Certificate Insurer, shall be a third party
beneficiary hereof and may enforce the terms hereof as if a party hereto.

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession" for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d)
hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

<PAGE>

Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.

                  7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.

                  3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that applies to all transfers of the
Residual Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the
transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a
broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent;
(iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of
liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit
that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such
person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that
each of the Residual Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest"
within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code
and that the transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable
for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless
no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection
of tax.

                  4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity"
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or
common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

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

                  6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

                  7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is ____________.

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

                  9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the
Residual Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.

                  10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds
the Residual Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.

                  11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Residual Certificates.

                  12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.

                  13. The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates with
the intent to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity that
will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Residual Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.

                  14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.

                  15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar an
affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the
Residual Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that
it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a
"Permitted Transferee".

                  16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation or partnership (or other entity treated as a corporation or
partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or under
the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(except, in the case of a partnership or entity treated as a partnership, to the
extent provided in regulations), an estate the income of which is subject to
United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or a trust other
than a "foreign trust" described in section 7701(a)(31) of the Code.

COUNTY OF NEW YORK                  )

                  _______________________________________, being duly sworn,
deposes, represents and warrants _____________________________ as follows:

                  1. I am a ____________________ of (the "Owner"), a corporation
duly organized and existing under the laws of ______________, on behalf of whom
I make this affidavit.

                  2. The Owner is not transferring the Class [R][R-X] (the
"Residual Certificates") to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

                  3. The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is
the proposed transferee (the "Purchaser") of the Residual Certificates: (i) has
insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder
of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain
outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  4. The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Certificate Registrar a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does
not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

                  5. At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes
(and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.

                  6. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         Workouts in the form of either a Forbearance or Loan Modification
require that the Borrower document the existence of a financial hardship leading
to the payment delinquency and document the ability to make the payments
required under the proposed Forbearance or Loan Modification. If the Borrower
fails to meet both of these conditions or the Borrower is uncooperative, a
Disposal Loss Mitigation Action will be employed to liquidate the delinquent
loan, assuming the Borrower does not otherwise cure the existing default. Each
of the Default Mitigation Actions and Supporting Standards may not be applicable
to each and every loan subject to a default in its monthly payments and in those
cases where a Default Mitigation Action or Supporting Standard may be
applicable, each is subject to amendment and/or waiver on an individual basis
pursuant to applicable federal, state and local laws, decisional authorities,
court orders, instructions of regulatory and/or other governmental authorities,
the advice of legal counsel, instructions from the Trustee and changes in the
loan servicing standards.
