Section 2.03 ENFORCEMENT OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Master Servicer,
on behalf of and subject to the direction of the Indenture  Trustee,  as pledgee

warranties of the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  Upon the discovery
by the Seller, the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  the Indenture Trustee,  the
Credit  Enhancer,  the  Issuer,  or  any  Custodian  of a  breach  of any of the
representations and warranties made in the Purchase Agreement, in respect of any
Home Equity Loan,  which  materially and adversely  affects the interests of the
Securityholders  or the Credit  Enhancer  in that Home  Equity  Loan,  the party
discovering  such breach shall give prompt  written  notice to the other parties
(any Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement); provided that in
the event of a breach of representation set forth in Section  3.1(b)(xxv) of the
Purchase  Agreement,  notice shall be given within five days of  discovery.  The
Master  Servicer  shall  promptly  notify the Seller of such  breach and request
that,  pursuant to the terms of the Purchase  Agreement,  the Seller  either (i)
cure such  breach in all  material  respects  within 45 days (with  respect to a
breach of the representations and warranties  contained in Section 3.1(a) of the
Purchase  Agreement) or 90 days (with respect to a breach of the representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.1(b) and 3.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement)
from the date the Seller was notified of such breach or, in the case of a breach
of  the  representation  set  forth  in  Section  3.1(b)(xxv)  of  the  Purchase
Agreement,  within 90 days  after  the  discovery  thereof  by the  Seller,  the
Depositor,  the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer, the
Issuer or the  Purchaser or (ii)  purchase such Home Equity Loan from the Issuer
at the price,  during the time, and in the manner set forth in Section 3.1(d) of
the Purchase  Agreement;  provided that the Seller shall,  subject to compliance
with all the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement,  have the option to
substitute  an  Eligible  Substitute  Loan or Loans for such Home  Equity  Loan,
provided  that  in  the  case  of the  substitution  of a  Group  I  Loan,  such
substitution  occurs  within two years  following the Closing Date. In the event
that the Seller  elects to  substitute  one or more  Eligible  Substitute  Loans
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or 3.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall
deliver to the  Issuer  with  respect to such  Eligible  Substitute  Loans,  the
original Loan Agreement,  the Mortgage,  and such other documents and agreements
as are required by the Purchase Agreement. Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute  Loans in the month of  substitution  shall not be transferred to the
Issuer and will be retained by the Master  Servicer  and  remitted by the Master
Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date provided a payment at
least equal to the applicable  Minimum  Monthly Payment has been received by the
Issuer  for such month in respect of the Home  Equity  Loan to be  removed.  The
Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Home Equity Loan Schedule
to reflect  the removal of such Home  Equity  Loan and the  substitution  of the
Eligible  Substitute  Loans and the Master  Servicer shall promptly  deliver the
amended  Home  Equity  Loan  Schedule  to the Owner  Trustee  and the  Indenture
Trustee.

                                       4
<PAGE>

        It is  understood  and agreed that the  obligation of the Seller to cure
such breach or purchase or substitute for such Home Equity Loan as to which such
a breach  has  occurred  and is  continuing  shall  constitute  the sole  remedy
respecting  such breach  available to the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee,  as
pledgee of the Home Equity Loans,  against the Seller.  In  connection  with the
purchase of or  substitution  for any such Home  Equity Loan by the Seller,  the
Issuer  shall  assign to the  Seller  all of its right,  title and  interest  in
respect of the Purchase  Agreement  applicable  to such Home Equity  Loan.  Upon
receipt of the Repurchase  Price, or upon completion of such  substitution,  the
Master  Servicer shall notify the Custodian and then the Custodian shall deliver
the  Mortgage  Files  to  the  Master  Servicer,   together  with  all  relevant
endorsements and assignments prepared by the Master Servicer which the Indenture
Trustee shall execute.

                                  ARTICLE III

                ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF HOME EQUITY LOANS

Section 3.01   THE MASTER SERVICER.

(a) The Master  Servicer shall service and administer the Home Equity Loans in a
manner generally  consistent with the terms of the Program Guide and in a manner
consistent with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, following such procedures
as it would employ in its good faith business  judgment and which are normal and
usual in its general mortgage  servicing  activities,  and shall have full power
and authority,  acting alone or through a Subservicer,  to do any and all things
which it may deem  necessary or desirable in connection  with such servicing and
administration,  it being understood, however, that the Master Servicer shall at
all times remain responsible to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee
of the Home Equity  Loans,  for the  performance  of its duties and  obligations
hereunder  in  accordance  with the  terms  hereof  and the  Program  Guide.  In
addition,  the Master  Servicer  shall  perform  the  obligations  of the Master
Servicer  and REMIC  Administrator  (for so long as the Master  Servicer  is the
REMIC Administrator) set forth in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement.

        Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Master  Servicer
shall  continue,  and is hereby  authorized  and empowered by the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee,  as pledgee of the Home Equity Loans, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of itself,  the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee or any of them, any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,  or of partial or full release,
or discharge,  or of consent to assumption or  modification in connection with a
proposed  conveyance,  or of  assignment  of any Mortgage  and Mortgage  Note in
connection  with the  repurchase of a Home Equity Loan and all other  comparable
instruments,  or with respect to the  modification or re-recording of a Mortgage
for the purpose of correcting the Mortgage,  the  subordination  of the lien, as
permitted  pursuant  to this  Agreement,  of the  Mortgage  in favor of a public
utility company or government agency or unit with powers of eminent domain,  the
taking  of a deed in lieu  of  foreclosure,  the  commencement,  prosecution  or
completion  of  judicial  or  non-judicial  foreclosure,  the  conveyance  of  a
Mortgaged  Property to the related  insurer,  the  acquisition  of any  property
acquired  by  foreclosure  or deed in lieu of  foreclosure,  or the  management,
marketing and conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu
of  foreclosure  with  respect to the Home Equity  Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties.

                                       5
<PAGE>

        The Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and the  Custodian,  as  applicable,
shall  furnish  the  Master  Servicer  with any  powers  of  attorney  and other
documents  necessary or appropriate  to enable the Master  Servicer to carry out
its servicing and  administrative  duties  hereunder.  On the Closing Date,  the
Indenture  Trustee  shall  deliver  to the Master  Servicer  a limited  power of
attorney  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B hereto.  In  connection  with
servicing and  administering  the Home Equity Loans, the Master Servicer and any
Affiliate of the Master  Servicer may perform  services such as  appraisals  and
brokerage  services that are not  customarily  provided by servicers of mortgage
loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable  compensation  therefor in accordance
with Section 3.03. In addition,  the Master  Servicer may, at its own discretion
and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of
a  Credit  Score  from a credit  repository.  The  Master  Servicer  is  further
authorized and empowered by the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee,  on behalf of
the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer,  when the Master Servicer or the  Subservicer,  as the case may be,
believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Home Equity Loan on
the MERS(R)  System,  or cause the  removal  from the  registration  of any Home
Equity Loan on the MERS(R)  System,  to execute  and  deliver,  on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other  comparable  instruments with respect to such assignment or
re-recording  of a  Mortgage  in the name of MERS,  solely  as  nominee  for the
Indenture  Trustee and its  successors  and assigns.  Any  expenses  incurred in
connection with the actions  described in the preceding  sentence shall be borne
by the Master Servicer, with no right of reimbursement.

        Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  subject to Section 3.02(a),  the Master
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Group I Loan that
would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Group I Loan within the meaning
of Section 1001 of the Code and any  proposed,  temporary  or final  regulations
promulgated  thereunder  and cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify
as a REMIC  under the Code or,  except as  provided  in Section  11.01(f) of the
Indenture,  cause the  imposition of a tax upon either of the REMICs  (including
but not  limited  to the tax on  prohibited  transactions  as defined in Section
860F(a)(2)  of the Code and the tax on  contributions  to a REMIC  set  forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code).

(b) If the Mortgage relating to a Home Equity Loan did not have a lien senior to
the Home Equity Loan on the related  Mortgaged  Property as of the Cut-off Date,
then the Master Servicer, in such capacity,  may not consent to the placing of a
lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related  Mortgaged  Property.  If the
Mortgage  relating  to a Group II Loan had a lien senior to the Group II Loan on
the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the Master Servicer,
in such  capacity,  may consent to the  refinancing  of the prior  senior  lien,
provided that the following requirements are met:

(i) (A) the Mortgagor's  debt-to-income ratio resulting from such refinancing is
less than the original debt-to-income ratio as set forth on the Home Equity Loan
Schedule;  provided,  however,  that in no instance shall the resulting Combined
Loan-to-Value  Ratio of such Home Equity Loan be higher than that  permitted  by
the Program Guide;  or (B) the resulting  Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio of such
Group II Loan is no higher than the Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio prior to such


                                       6
<PAGE>

refinancing;  provided, however, if such refinanced mortgage loan is a "rate and
term" mortgage loan  (meaning,  the Mortgagor does not receive any cash from the
refinancing),  the  Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio may increase to the extent of
either (a) the reasonable  closing costs of such refinancing or (b) any decrease
in the value of the related  Mortgaged  Property,  if the  Mortgagor  is in good
standing as defined by the Program Guide;

(ii) the interest  rate, or, in the case of an adjustable  rate existing  senior
lien, the maximum  interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced  senior
lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum  interest
rate,  as the case may be,  on the loan  evidencing  the  existing  senior  lien
immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; provided, however, (a) if the
loan evidencing the existing senior lien prior to the date of refinancing has an
adjustable rate and the loan  evidencing the refinanced  senior lien has a fixed
rate,  then the current  interest  rate on the loan  evidencing  the  refinanced
senior lien may be up to 2.0% higher than the then-current loan rate of the loan
evidencing the existing  senior lien and (b) if the loan evidencing the existing
senior  lien  prior to the  date of  refinancing  has a fixed  rate and the loan
evidencing the refinanced  senior lien has an adjustable  rate, then the maximum
interest rate on the loan  evidencing the  refinanced  senior lien shall be less
than or  equal to (x) the  interest  rate on the loan  evidencing  the  existing
senior lien prior to the date of refinancing plus (y) 2.0%; and

     (iii) the loan  evidencing  the  refinanced  senior  lien is not subject to
     negative amortization.

        The Master  Servicer  may also,  without  prior  approval  of the Rating
Agencies  or the Credit  Enhancer,  increase  the Credit  Limits on the Group II
Loans  (a  "Credit  Limit  Increase"),  provided  that  (i) a new  appraisal  is
obtained,  (ii) the new Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio of any such Group II Loan
after  giving  effect to such  increase  is less  than or equal to the  Combined
Loan-to-Value  Ratio of the  Group II Loan as of the  Cut-off  Date,  (iii)  the
Master  Servicer  receives  verbal  verification  of  employment  of the related
Mortgagor  and (iv) the payment  history of the related  Mortgagor is within the
underwriting  parameters of the Program Guide. In addition,  the Master Servicer
may  increase  the  Credit  Limits  on  Group  II Loans  without  obtaining  new
appraisals  provided that clauses  (iii) and (iv) of the preceding  sentence are
satisfied,  the Combined  Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Group II Loan following the
Credit Limit Increase will be limited to 100% and at no time shall the aggregate
Loan  Balance of such Group II Loans  exceed 10% of the current Pool Balance for
the Group II Loans;  provided,  further,  however,  that for Group II Loans with
original  Combined   Loan-to-Value   Ratios  in  excess  of  80%,  the  Combined
Loan-to-Value  Ratio resulting from such Credit Limit Increase must be less than
or equal to the original Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio and at no time shall the
aggregate  Loan  Balance of such Group II Loans  exceed 5% of the  current  Pool
Balance for the Group II Loans.

        In connection with servicing the Group II Loans, the Master Servicer may
take  reasonable  actions  to  encourage  or  effect  the  termination  of  Loan
Agreements that have become dormant.

                                       7

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

        All  costs  incurred  by  the  Master  Servicer  or by  Subservicers  in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties  subject
to the Home Equity  Loans  shall not,  for the  purpose of  calculating  monthly
distributions  to  Certificateholders,  be added to the amount  owing  under the
related Home Equity  Loans,  notwithstanding  that the terms of such Home Equity
Loan so permit,  and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent  permitted by
Section 3.03.

(c) The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers
for the servicing and  administration  of certain of the Home Equity Loans.  Any
Subservicing  Agreement that may be entered into and any other  transactions  or
services  relating  to the Home Equity  Loans  involving  a  Subservicer  in its
capacity  as such and not as an  originator  shall be deemed to be  between  the
Subservicer  and the  Master  Servicer  alone  and  the  Indenture  Trustee  and
Securityholders  shall not be deemed  parties  thereto and shall have no claims,
rights,  obligations,  duties or liabilities  with respect to the Subservicer in
its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 7.02. Each  Subservicer of a
Home Equity  Loan shall be  entitled  to receive and retain,  as provided in the
related Subservicing Agreement and in Section 3.02, the related Subservicing Fee
from payments of interest received on such Home Equity Loan after payment of all
amounts  required to be remitted to the Master  Servicer in respect of such Home
Equity Loan. For any Home Equity Loan that is a nonsubserviced Home Equity Loan,
the Master  Servicer  shall be entitled to receive and retain an amount equal to
the  Subservicing  Fee from payments of interest.  References in this  Servicing
Agreement  to actions  taken or to be taken by the Master  Servicer in servicing
the Home Equity Loans include  actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer  on
behalf  of the  Master  Servicer  and  any  amount  actually  received  by  such
Subservicer  in  respect  of a Home  Equity  Loan  shall be  deemed to have been
received by the Master Servicer  whether or not actually  received by the Master
Servicer.  Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as
are not  inconsistent  with this Servicing  Agreement and as the Master Servicer
and the Subservicer  have agreed.  With the approval of the Master  Servicer,  a
Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but
such  Subservicers   will  remain  obligated  under  the  related   Subservicing
Agreements. The Master Servicer and the Subservicer may enter into amendments to
the related Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
shall not cause the Home  Equity  Loans to be serviced in a manner that would be
materially   inconsistent  with  the  standards  set  forth  in  this  Servicing
Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any  Subservicing
Agreement in accordance  with the terms and  conditions  thereof and without any
limitation by virtue of this Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that in the
event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the
Subservicer,  the Master  Servicer  shall  either act as servicer of the related
Home  Equity  Loan or  enter  into a  Subservicing  Agreement  with a  successor
Subservicer  which  will be  bound  by the  terms  of the  related  Subservicing
Agreement.  If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential  Funding acts
as servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties
of the  Subservicer  which it  replaces.  If the Master  Servicer  enters into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor  Subservicer,  the Master Servicer shall


                                       8
<PAGE>

use reasonable  efforts to have the successor  Subservicer  assume liability for
the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect
of the related Home Equity Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the
successor Subservicer,  the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business
judgment,   release  the   terminated   Subservicer   from  liability  for  such
representations and warranties.

        As part of its servicing activities hereunder,  the Master Servicer, for
the benefit of the Securityholders and the Credit Enhancer, shall use reasonable
efforts  to  enforce  the  obligations  of each  Subservicer  under the  related
Subservicing  Agreement,  to the  extent  that the  non-performance  of any such
obligation  would have a material  adverse  effect on a Home Equity  Loan.  Such
enforcement,  including,  without  limitation,  the legal prosecution of claims,
termination  of  Subservicing  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 Home Equity 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 recovery resulting from such enforcement to the
extent,  if any,  that such  recovery  exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Home Equity Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,  expenses or
attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

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

        In the event the Master  Servicer  shall for any reason no longer be the
master  servicer  (including  by reason of a Servicing  Default),  the Indenture
Trustee,  its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the Master  Servicer's  interest therein and to
have replaced the Master  Servicer as a party to the  Subservicing  Agreement to
the same  extent  as if the  Subservicing  Agreement  had been  assigned  to the
assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations  under the  Subservicing  Agreement,  nor shall the
Indenture  Trustee be responsible  for any  obligations or liabilities  prior to
such  replacement.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall  not be  responsible  for any
representations  and  warranties  made by the Master  Servicer  pursuant to such
Subservicing Agreement.

        The Master Servicer shall,  upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at
the expense of the Master Servicer,  deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records  relating to each  Subservicing  Agreement and the Home Equity Loans


                                       9
<PAGE>

then being  serviced and an accounting  of amounts  collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and  efficient  transfer of
each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 3.02  COLLECTION  OF CERTAIN HOME EQUITY LOAN  PAYMENTS.  (a) The Master
Servicer shall make reasonable  efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures  shall be  consistent  with this  Servicing  Agreement  and generally
consistent with the Program Guide, follow such collection procedures as it would
employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal and usual in its
general  mortgage  servicing  activities.  Consistent  with the  foregoing,  and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion  waive any late payment charge,  penalty interest or other fees which
may be collected in the ordinary  course of servicing such Home Equity Loan. The
Master  Servicer  may also  extend the Due Date for payment due on a Home Equity
Loan in accordance with the Program Guide,  provided,  however,  that the Master
Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or extension will not impair
the coverage of any related insurance policy or materially  adversely affect the
lien of the related Mortgage (except as described below) or the interests of the
Securityholders  and the  Credit  Enhancer.  Consistent  with the  terms of this
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may also:

(i) waive, modify or vary any term of any Home Equity Loan (including reduce the
Credit  Limit  or  extend  the  period  during  which a Draw  may be made by the
Mortgagor pursuant to the Loan Agreement with respect to any Group II Loan);

(ii) consent to the  postponement of strict  compliance with any such term or in
any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor;

(iii)  arrange  with a Mortgagor a schedule  for the  payment of  principal  and
interest due and unpaid;

(iv) forgive any portion of the amounts contractually owed under the Home Equity
Loan;

(v)  capitalize  any past due amounts  owed under the Home Equity Loan by adding
amounts in  arrearage  to the  existing  Loan Balance of the Home Equity Loan (a
"Capitalization Workout"), provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not
enter into a Capitalization  Workout unless the Combined  Loan-to-Value Ratio of
the Home Equity Loan prior to the Capitalization  Workout equals or exceeds 80%;
and

(vi) reset the due date for the Home  Equity  Loan,  or any  combination  of the
foregoing,

if  in  the  Master   Servicer's   determination   such  waiver,   modification,
postponement or indulgence, arrangement or other action referred to above is not
materially  adverse  to the  interests  of  the  Securityholders  or the  Credit
Enhancer and is generally  consistent with the Master  Servicer's  policies with
respect to home equity loans  similar to Home Equity Loans;  provided,  however,
that the Master  Servicer  may not,  except in the case of an  extension  of the
period during which a Draw may be made by the Mortgagor  with respect to a Group
II Loan,  pursuant to this Section  3.02,  modify or permit any  Subservicer  to
modify any Home Equity Loan, (including without limitation any modification that
would  change the Loan Rate,  forgive the payment of any  principal  or interest
(unless in  connection  with the  liquidation  of the related Home Equity Loan),

                                       10
<PAGE>


any  payment)  unless such Home Equity Loan is in default or, in the judgment of
the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  the final maturity date of any Home Equity Loan will not be extended
beyond the Final  Scheduled  Payment  Date.  The  general  terms of any  waiver,
modification,  postponement or indulgence with respect to any of the Home Equity
Loans will be included in the Servicing Certificate,  and such Home Equity Loans
will not be considered  "delinquent"  for the purposes of the Basic Documents so
long as the  Mortgagor  complies  with the terms of such  waiver,  modification,
postponement or indulgence. In addition, if a Group II Loan is in default or, in
the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the
Master Servicer may, through modification, convert such Group II Loan to a fully
amortizing closed-end loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  with respect to the
Group II Loans,  the Master  Servicer in its sole  discretion (i) may permit the
Mortgagor  (or may enter  into a  modification  agreement  which  will allow the
Mortgagor)  to make monthly  payments,  with respect to any Billing Cycle during
the related Draw Period,  in a minimum  amount that will be equal to the related
finance  charge  for such  Billing  Cycle and (ii) may  reduce the amount of the
Credit  Limit (to an amount no less than the then  current  Loan Balance of such
Group II Loan) in connection  with any  refinancing of a senior lien pursuant to
Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement.  In connection with any Curtailment of a Home
Equity Loan, the Master Servicer,  to the extent not inconsistent with the terms
of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may permit the Home Equity Loan
to be reamortized  such that the Minimum  Monthly  Payment is recalculated as an
amount that will fully amortize the remaining Loan Balance  thereof by the Final
Scheduled  Payment Date based on the  original  Loan Rate;  provided,  that such
re-amortization any Group I Loan shall not be permitted if it would constitute a
reissuance of such Group I Loan for federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Master Servicer shall establish a Custodial  Account,  which shall be an
Eligible  Account  in which the  Master  Servicer  shall  deposit or cause to be
deposited any amounts  representing  payments and  collections in respect of the
Home  Equity  Loans  received  by it on or after the  Cut-off  Date,  within one
Business  Day  following  receipt  thereof,  except  as  otherwise  specifically
provided herein,  including the following  payments and collections  received or
made by it (without duplication):

(i) all payments on account of principal,  (including Principal Prepayments made
by  Mortgagors  on the Home Equity  Loans or from any REO  Proceeds  received in
connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred);

(ii) All  payments on account of interest at the Adjusted  Mortgage  Rate on the
Home Equity Loans,  or from any REO Proceeds  received in connection with an REO
Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;

(iii) the aggregate  Repurchase  Price of the Home Equity Loans purchased by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.15;

(iv)    Net Liquidation Proceeds net of any related Foreclosure Profit;

(v) all proceeds of any Home Equity Loans  repurchased by the Seller pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement,  and all Substitution  Adjustment Amounts required to be
deposited in connection  with the  substitution  of an Eligible  Substitute Loan
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

(vi) Insurance Proceeds, other than Net Liquidation Proceeds, resulting from any
insurance policy maintained on a Mortgaged Property; and

(vii)  amounts  required to be paid by the Master  Servicer  pursuant to Section
8.08;

                                       11
<PAGE>

provided,  however,  that with  respect to each  Collection  Period,  the Master
Servicer  shall be permitted  to retain from  payments in respect of interest on
the Home Equity Loans, the Master Servicing Fee for such Collection  Period. The
foregoing  requirements   respecting  deposits  to  the  Custodial  Account  are
exclusive,  it being  understood  that,  without  limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Master Servicer need not deposit in the Custodial Account amounts
representing  Foreclosure  Profits,  fees  (including  annual fees),  prepayment
charges, assumption charges or late charge penalties payable by Mortgagors (such
amounts to be retained as additional  servicing  compensation in accordance with
Section  3.09  hereof),  or  amounts  received  by the Master  Servicer  for the
accounts of Mortgagors for application  towards the payment of taxes,  insurance
premiums, assessments and similar items. In the event any amount not required to
be deposited in the Custodial  Account is so deposited,  the Master Servicer may
at any time  withdraw  such amount from the  Custodial  Account,  any  provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  The Custodial Account may contain funds
that belong to one or more trusts created for the notes or certificates of other
series and may contain other funds  respecting  payments on home equity loans or
other  mortgage  loans  belonging  to the Master  Servicer or serviced or master
serviced by it on behalf of others.  Notwithstanding  such commingling of funds,
the Master  Servicer  shall keep  records that  accurately  reflect the funds on
deposit  in the  Custodial  Account  that  have been  identified  by it as being
attributable  to the Home  Equity  Loans and shall hold all  collections  in the
Custodial  Account to the extent they  represent  collections on the Home Equity
Loans for the  benefit  of the  Trust,  the  Securityholders  and the  Indenture
Trustee,  as their  interests may appear.  The Master  Servicer shall retain all
Foreclosure Profits as additional servicing compensation.

        With  respect to  Insurance  Proceeds,  Net  Liquidation  Proceeds,  REO
Proceeds and the  proceeds of the  purchase of any Home Equity Loan  received in
any calendar  month,  the Master  Servicer may elect to treat such amounts to be
deposited in the Custodial  Account for  distribution in accordance with Section
3.05 of the  Indenture  for  distribution  on the  Payment  Date in the month of
receipt,  but is not obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects,  such
amounts will be deemed to have been  received (and any related  Liquidated  Loss
Amount  shall be deemed to have  occurred) on the last day of the month prior to
the receipt thereof.

        The Master Servicer may cause the institution  maintaining the Custodial
Account to invest any funds in the  Custodial  Account in Permitted  Investments
(including obligations of the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates,  if such
obligations otherwise qualify as Permitted Investments),  which shall mature not
later than the  Business  Day  preceding  the next Payment Date and shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.  Except as provided above, all income


                                       12
<PAGE>

and gain  realized  from any such  investment  shall inure to the benefit of the
Master  Servicer  and shall be subject to its  withdrawal  or order from time to
time.  The amount of any losses  incurred in respect of the principal  amount of
any such investments  shall be deposited in the Custodial  Account by the Master
Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

(c) The  Master  Servicer  will  require  each  Subservicer  to hold  all  funds
constituting collections on the Home Equity Loans, pending remittance thereof to
the Master  Servicer,  in one or more accounts  meeting the  requirements  of an
Eligible Account, and invested in Permitted Investments.

               (d) The Master Servicer hereby  acknowledges the receipt by it of
the Initial Monthly Payment Fund and the Delinquent  Reserve Amount.  The Master
Servicer shall hold such Initial  Monthly  Payment Fund and  Delinquent  Reserve
Amount in the  Custodial  Account.  The Initial  Monthly  Payment  Fund shall be
included in the P&I  Collections  for the initial  Payment Date.  The Delinquent
Reserve Amount shall be included in the P&I Collections for the Group I Notes on
the first and second Payment Date after the Closing Date, to the extent that the
Interest  Distribution  Amount  for the  Class I Notes  exceeds  the  amount  of
interest  payments  received on the Group I Loans during the related  Collection
Period.  Any Delinquent Reserve Amount not used on the second Payment Date shall
be paid to the holders of the Class R-I  Certificates on or before the following
Payment  Date.  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the  contrary,  the Initial
Monthly Payment Fund and the Delinquent  Reserve Amount shall not be an asset of
any REMIC. To the extent that the Initial Monthly Payment Fund or the Delinquent
Reserve Amount  constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes,  (1)
it shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of any REMIC,  (2) it shall
be owned by the Seller and (3) amounts  transferred  by any REMIC to the Initial
Monthly  Payment  Fund or the  Delinquent  Reserve  Amount  shall be  treated as
transferred  to the Seller or any  successor,  all within the meaning of Section
1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section  3.03  PERMITTED  WITHDRAWALS  FROM THE  CUSTODIAL  ACCOUNT.  The Master
Servicer shall, from time to time as provided herein,  make withdrawals from the
Custodial  Account of amounts on deposit  therein  pursuant to Section 3.02 that
are attributable to the Home Equity Loans for the following purposes:

(a) to deposit in the Payment Account, on the Business Day prior to each Payment
Date,  an amount equal to the Interest  Collections  and  Principal  Collections
required to be distributed on such Payment Date;

(b) prior to either an Amortization  Event or the Collection Period during which
the Revolving  Period ends, to pay to the Seller,  the amount of any  Additional
Balances as and when created  during the related  Collection  Period,  provided,
that the  aggregate  amount  so paid to the  Seller  in  respect  of  Additional
Balances at any time during any Collection Period shall not exceed the amount of
Principal Collections theretofore received for such Collection Period;

(c) to the extent deposited to the Custodial Account, to reimburse itself or the
related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed expenses incurred in maintaining
individual  insurance policies pursuant to Section 3.04, or Liquidation Expenses


                                       13
<PAGE>

paid pursuant to Section 3.07 or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of
this Servicing  Agreement (to the extent not payable  pursuant to Section 3.09),
such  withdrawal  right being  limited to amounts  received on  particular  Home
Equity  Loans  (other  than any  Repurchase  Price  in  respect  thereof)  which
represent late  recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made, or
from related  Liquidation  Proceeds or the proceeds of the purchase of such Home
Equity Loan;

(d) to pay to itself out of each  payment  received  on account of interest on a
Home Equity Loan as contemplated by Section 3.09, an amount equal to the related
Master Servicing Fee (to the extent not retained  pursuant to Section 3.02), and
to pay to any Subservicer any Subservicing  Fees not previously  withheld by the
Subservicer;

(e) to the  extent  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account  to pay to  itself  as
additional  servicing  compensation any interest or investment  income earned on
funds deposited in the Custodial Account and Payment Account that it is entitled
to withdraw pursuant to Sections 3.02(b) and 5.01;

(f) to the  extent  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account,  to pay to  itself as
additional  servicing  compensation  any  Foreclosure  Profits  (to  the  extent
permitted by law);

(g) to pay to itself,  a  Subservicer  or the Seller,  or any other  appropriate
person,  as the case may be,  with  respect to any Home  Equity Loan or property
acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or otherwise  transferred to
the Seller,  the Master Servicer or other entity,  all amounts  received thereon
and not required to be  distributed to  Securityholders  as of the date on which
the related Purchase Price or Repurchase Price is determined;

(h) to withdraw any other amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not
required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.02;

(i) after the occurrence of an  Amortization  Event,  to pay to the Seller,  the
Excluded Amount for each Group II Loan;

(j) to reimburse  itself for amounts expended by it (a) pursuant to Section 3.06
in good faith in  connection  with the  restoration  of  property  damaged by an
Uninsured  Cause,  and (b) in connection  with the  liquidation of a Home Equity
Loan or  disposition  of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise  reimbursed
pursuant to clause (c) above; and

(k) to reimburse itself or the REMIC  Administrator for expenses incurred by and
reimbursable to it or the REMIC Administrator pursuant to Sections 3.07, 6.03 or
otherwise, or Section 11.01 of the Indenture.

Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (f) and (g),
the Master  Servicer's  entitlement  thereto is limited to  collections or other
recoveries on the related Home Equity Loan,  the Master  Servicer shall keep and
maintain separate  accounting,  on a Home Equity Loan by Home Equity Loan basis,
for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant
to  such  clauses.   Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Servicing
Agreement,  the Master  Servicer  shall be entitled to reimburse  itself for any
previously  unreimbursed expenses incurred pursuant to Section 3.07 or otherwise
reimbursable  pursuant to the terms of this Servicing  Agreement that the Master
Servicer determines to be otherwise  nonrecoverable  (except with respect to any


                                       14

Home Equity Loan as to which the Repurchase  Price has been paid), by withdrawal
from the Custodial  Account of amounts on deposit  therein  attributable  to the
Home Equity Loans on any Business Day prior to the Payment Date  succeeding  the
date of such determination.

Section  3.04  MAINTENANCE  OF  HAZARD  INSURANCE;   GROUP  I  POLICY;  PROPERTY
PROTECTION  Expenses.  (a) The Master  Servicer shall cause to be maintained for
each Home  Equity Loan hazard  insurance  naming the Master  Servicer or related
Subservicer as loss payee thereunder  providing  extended  coverage in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum  insurable value of the
improvements  securing  such  Home  Equity  Loan  from  time to time or (ii) the
combined  Loan  Balance  owing on such Home  Equity Loan and any  mortgage  loan
senior to such Home Equity Loan from time to time; provided,  however, that such
coverage may not be less than the minimum  amount  required to fully  compensate
for any loss or damage on a replacement  cost basis.  The Master  Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained on property  acquired upon  foreclosure,  or deed in
lieu of  foreclosure,  of any Home Equity Loan,  fire  insurance  with  extended
coverage in an amount  which is at least equal to the amount  necessary to avoid
the  application  of any  co-insurance  clause  contained in the related  hazard
insurance  policy.  Amounts  collected  by the  Master  Servicer  under any such
policies  (other than amounts to be applied to the  restoration or repair of the
related Mortgaged  Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing  procedures)
shall be deposited in the Custodial  Account to the extent called for by Section
3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located at any time during the
life of a Home  Equity  Loan in a federally  designated  flood area,  the hazard
insurance to be maintained  for the related Home Equity Loan shall include flood
insurance  (to the  extent  available).  All such  flood  insurance  shall be in
amounts  equal to the lesser of (i) the amount  required to  compensate  for any
loss or damage to the Mortgaged  Property on a  replacement  cost basis and (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).  The
Master  Servicer  shall be under no  obligation  to require  that any  Mortgagor
maintain  earthquake  or  other  additional  insurance  and  shall  be  under no
obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired
in respect of a Home Equity Loan,  other than pursuant to such  applicable  laws
and  regulations  as shall at any time be in  force  and as shall  require  such
additional insurance.

        If the  Master  Servicer  shall  obtain and  maintain  a blanket  policy
consistent  with its general  mortgage  servicing  activities  insuring  against
hazard losses on all of the Home Equity Loans,  it shall  conclusively be deemed
to have  satisfied its  obligations  as set forth in the first  sentence of this
Section  3.04,  it being  understood  and agreed  that such policy may contain a
deductible  clause,  in which case the Master  Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged  Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.04 and there shall have been
a loss which would have been  covered by such policy,  deposit in the  Custodial
Account the amount not  otherwise  payable under the blanket  policy  because of
such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on
the last Business Day of the  Collection  Period in the month in which  payments
under any such policy would have been  deposited in the  Custodial  Account.  In
connection with its activities as servicer of the Home Equity Loans,  the Master
Servicer  agrees to present,  on behalf of itself,  the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy.

                                       15
<PAGE>

        (b) The Master  Servicer  shall not take, or permit any  Subservicer  to
take, any action which would result in  noncoverage  under the Group I Policy of
any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or Subservicer, would
have been covered  thereunder.  To the extent coverage is available,  the Master
Servicer  shall  keep or cause to be kept in full  force and  effect the Group I
Policy until the Group I Policy has been terminated or exhausted pursuant to its
terms.  If the Group I Policy is  cancelled or  terminated  for any reason other
than the  exhaustion  of coverage  under the Group I Policy or any other  reason
pursuant  to  the  terms  of the  Group  I  Policy,  or in the  event  that  the
claims-paying  ability of Radian is reduced below  investment  grade, the Master
Servicer  will use its best  efforts  to  obtain a  replacement  policy  with an
insurer  acceptable to each Rating Agency;  provided that if the premium cost of
the  replacement  policy  exceeds  the premium  cost of the Group I Policy,  the
coverage  amounts of the replacement  policy will be reduced so that the premium
cost therefor will not exceed 100% of the premium cost of the Group I Policy.

        (c) In connection with its activities as  administrator  and servicer of
the Group I Loans,  the Master  Servicer agrees to present (or cause the related
Subservicer  to  present,  on behalf of the  Master  Servicer)  on behalf of the
Indenture  Trustee  and  Securityholders,  claims  to  Radian  under the Group I
Policy, in a timely manner in accordance with the Group I Policy, following such
procedures as it would employ in its good faith business  judgment and which are
normal and usual in its  general  mortgage  servicing  activities,  and, in this
regard,  to take or  cause  to be  taken  such  reasonable  action  as  shall be
necessary to permit recovery under the Group I Policy respecting defaulted Group
I Loans.  Pursuant to Section 3.02, any proceeds collected by or remitted to the
Master  Servicer  under the Group I Policy shall be  deposited in the  Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.03.

Section 3.05  ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE  CLAUSES;  ASSUMPTION AND  MODIFICATION
AGREEMENTS;  RELEASE OR SUBSTITUTION OF LIEN. (a) When any Mortgaged Property is
conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer or Subservicer,  to the extent it
has knowledge of such conveyance, shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained
in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,  to the extent  permitted under applicable law
and governmental regulations,  but only to the extent that such enforcement will
not adversely affect or jeopardize  coverage under any Required Insurance Policy
or otherwise  adversely  affect the interests of the  Certificateholders  or the
Credit Enhancer. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

               (i) the  Master  Servicer  shall not be  deemed to be in  default
        under this Section 3.05(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption which
        the Master Servicer is restricted by law from preventing; and

               (ii) if the  Master  Servicer  determines  that it is  reasonably
        likely that any Mortgagor  will bring,  or if any Mortgagor  does bring,
        legal action to declare  invalid or  otherwise  avoid  enforcement  of a
        due-on-sale  clause  contained  in any Mortgage  Note or  Mortgage,  the
        Master Servicer shall not be required to enforce the due-on-sale  clause
        or to contest such action.

        (b) Subject to the Master  Servicer's  duty to enforce  any  due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section  3.05(a),  the Master  Servicer or the
related  Subservicer,  as the case  may be,  shall be  entitled  to (A)  execute
assumption agreements,  substitution agreements, and instruments of satisfaction


                                       16
<PAGE>

or  cancellation  or of  partial  or full  release  or  discharge,  or any other
document   contemplated  by  this  Servicing   Agreement  and  other  comparable
instruments  with  respect  to the Home  Equity  Loans and with  respect  to the
Mortgaged  Properties subject to the Mortgages (and the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee each shall promptly  execute any such documents on request of the Master
Servicer)  and (B)  approve  the  granting  of an  easement  thereon in favor of
another Person,  any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged  Property
or other  similar  matters,  if it has  determined,  exercising  its good  faith
business  judgment  in the same  manner  as it would if it were the owner of the
related  Home  Equity  Loan,  that the  security  for,  and the  timely and full
collectability  of,  such  Home  Equity  Loan  would not be  adversely  affected
thereby,  and that each of REMIC I and REMIC II would  continue  to qualify as a
REMIC  under  the  Code as a  result  thereof  and  that  no tax on  "prohibited
transactions"  or  "contributions"  after the  startup  day would be  imposed on
either of REMIC I or REMIC II as a result thereof. A partial release pursuant to
this Section 3.05 shall be permitted  only if the Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio
for such Home  Equity  Loan  after  such  partial  release  does not  exceed the
Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio for such Home Equity Loan as of the Cut-off Date,
and provided  further that, in the case of a Group I Loan, the Master  Servicer,
the  Indenture  Trustee  and the Credit  Enhancer  have  received  an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such  partial  release  will not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer
for  processing  such  request  will be retained by the Master  Servicer or such
Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.

        (c) The Master  Servicer may enter into an agreement with a Mortgagor to
release  the lien on the  Mortgaged  Property  relating  to a Group II Loan (the
"Existing  Lien"), if at the time of such agreement the Group II Loan is current
in payment of principal and interest, under any of the following circumstances:

(i) in any case in which,  simultaneously with the release of the Existing Lien,
the  Mortgagor  executes  and  delivers  to the Master  Servicer a Mortgage on a
substitute Mortgaged Property, provided that the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of
the Group II Loan  (calculated  based on the Appraised  Value of the  substitute
Mortgaged  Property) is not greater than the Combined  Loan-to-Value Ratio prior
to releasing the Existing Lien;

(ii) in any case in which, simultaneously with the release of the Existing Lien,
the  Mortgagor  executes  and  delivers  to the Master  Servicer a Mortgage on a
substitute  Mortgaged  Property,  provided that: (A) the Combined  Loan-to-Value
Ratio of the  Group II Loan  (calculated  based  on the  Appraised  Value of the
substitute  Mortgaged  Property)  is not greater than the lesser of (1) 100% and
(2) 105% of the Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio prior to  releasing  the Existing
Lien;  and (B) the  Master  Servicer  determines  that at least two  appropriate
compensating  factors are present  (compensating  factors may  include,  without
limitation, an increase in the Mortgagor's monthly cash flow after debt service,
the Mortgagor's debt-to-income ratio has not increased since origination,  or an
increase in the Mortgagor's credit score); or

(iii) in any case in which,  at the time of release of the  Existing  Lien,  the
Mortgagor  does not provide the Master  Servicer with a Mortgage on a substitute
Mortgaged  Property  (any Group II Loan that  becomes and remains  unsecured  in
accordance with this subsection,  an "Unsecured  Loan"),  provided that: (A) the
current  Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio is greater than or equal to 85%; (B) the
Master  Servicer  shall not permit the  release of an  Existing  Lien under this
clause (iii) as to more than 100 Group II Loans in any calendar  year; (C) at no


                                       17
<PAGE>

time shall the aggregate Loan Balance of Unsecured Loans exceed 2.5% of the then
Pool Balance;  (D) the Mortgagor  agrees to an automatic debit payment plan; and
(E) the Master  Servicer  shall  provide  notice to each Rating  Agency that has
requested notice of such releases.

        In connection  with any Unsecured  Loan, the Master Servicer may require
the Mortgagor to enter into an agreement  under which:  (i) the Loan Rate may be
increased  effective until a substitute  Mortgage meeting the criteria under (i)
or (ii) above is  provided;  or (ii) any other  provision  may be made which the
Master  Servicer  considers to be appropriate.  Thereafter,  the Master Servicer
shall determine in its discretion whether to accept any proposed Mortgage on any
substitute  Mortgaged Property as security for the Group II Loan, and the Master
Servicer may require the Mortgagor to agree to any further  conditions which the
Master  Servicer  considers  appropriate in connection  with such  substitution,
which may include a  reduction  of the Loan Rate (but not below the Loan Rate in
effect  at the  Closing  Date).  Any Group II Loan as to which a  Mortgage  on a
substitute  Mortgaged  Property  is provided in  accordance  with the  preceding
sentence shall no longer be deemed to be an Unsecured Loan.

        (d)  Subject  to any  other  applicable  terms  and  conditions  of this
Agreement,  the Master  Servicer  shall be entitled to approve an  assignment in
lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Home Equity Loan,  provided the obligee
with  respect  to such Home  Equity  Loan  following  such  proposed  assignment
provides the Master Servicer with a "Lender Certification for Assignment of Home
Equity  Loan" in the form  attached  hereto as Exhibit D, in form and  substance
satisfactory  to the  Indenture  Trustee  and  Master  Servicer,  providing  the
following:  (i) that the Home  Equity  Loan is  secured  by  Mortgaged  Property
located in a  jurisdiction  in which an  assignment in lieu of  satisfaction  is
required to preserve lien priority,  minimize or avoid mortgage  recording taxes
or otherwise  comply with, or facilitate a refinancing  under,  the laws of such
jurisdiction;  (ii) that the substance of the  assignment is, and is intended to
be, a refinancing of such Home Equity Loan and that the form of the  transaction
is solely to comply with, or facilitate the transaction  under, such local laws;
(iii) that the Home Equity Loan  following the proposed  assignment  will have a
rate of  interest at least 0.25  percent  below or above the rate of interest on
such Home  Equity  Loan prior to such  proposed  assignment;  and (iv) that such
assignment is at the request of the borrower under the related Home Equity Loan.
Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction  with respect to any Home
Equity Loan,  the Master  Servicer  shall receive cash in an amount equal to the
unpaid  Loan  Balance of and  accrued  interest on such Home Equity Loan and the
Master  Servicer shall treat such amount as a Principal  Prepayment in Full with
respect to such Home Equity Loan for all purposes hereof.

Section 3.06 TRUST ESTATE; RELATED DOCUMENTS (a) When required by the provisions
of this  Servicing  Agreement  or to  facilitate  the filing of claims under the
Group I Policy, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall execute instruments to
release property from the terms of the Trust  Agreement,  Indenture or Custodial
Agreement,  as  applicable,  or convey the Issuer's or the  Indenture  Trustee's
interest  in the  same,  in a  manner  and  under  circumstances  which  are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Servicing  Agreement.  No party relying
upon an instrument  executed by the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee as provided
in this Section 3.06 shall be bound to ascertain  the Issuer's or the  Indenture
Trustee's  authority,  inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
or see to the application of any moneys.

                                       18

(b) If from time to time the Master  Servicer  shall  deliver  to the  Custodian
copies of any written assurance,  assumption agreement or substitution agreement
or other similar  agreement  pursuant to Section 3.05, the Custodian shall check
that each of such documents  purports to be an original executed copy (or a copy
of the  original  executed  document  if the  original  executed  copy  has been
submitted for recording  and has not yet been  returned)  and, if so, shall file
such  documents,  and  upon  receipt  of the  original  executed  copy  from the
applicable  recording  office or  receipt  of a copy  thereof  certified  by the
applicable  recording  office shall file such originals or certified copies with
the Related Documents. If any such documents submitted by the Master Servicer do
not meet the above qualifications,  such documents shall promptly be returned by
the Custodian to the Master Servicer, with a direction to the Master Servicer to
forward the correct documentation.

(c)  Upon  receipt  of  a  Request  for  Release   from  the  Master   Servicer,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the effect that a Home Equity Loan has
been the subject of a final payment or a prepayment in full and the related Home
Equity Loan has been terminated or that  substantially all Liquidation  Proceeds
which have been determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable  judgment to
be finally  recoverable  have been recovered,  and upon deposit to the Custodial
Account of such final monthly payment,  prepayment in full together with accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of such payment with respect to such Home Equity
Loan or, if  applicable,  Liquidation  Proceeds,  the Custodian  shall  promptly
release  the  Related  Documents  to the Master  Servicer,  which the  Indenture
Trustee shall execute,  along with such documents as the Master  Servicer or the
Mortgagor may request to evidence satisfaction and discharge of such Home Equity
Loan,  upon  request  of the  Master  Servicer.  If from  time  to  time  and as
appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Home Equity Loan, the Master
Servicer requests the Custodian to release the Related Documents and delivers to
the  Custodian a trust  receipt  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Custodian and
signed by a Responsible  Officer of the Master  Servicer,  the  Custodian  shall
release the Related Documents to the Master Servicer.  If such Home Equity Loans
shall be liquidated or assigned to Radian pursuant to the Group I Policy and the
Custodian  receives a certificate  from the Master  Servicer as provided  above,
then, upon request of the Master Servicer, the Custodian shall release the trust
receipt to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.07 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED HOME EQUITY LOANS; LOSS MITIGATION. With
respect to such of the Home Equity  Loans as come into and  continue in default,
the Master  Servicer  will decide  whether to (i)  foreclose  upon the Mortgaged
Properties  securing  such Home  Equity  Loans,  (ii) write off the unpaid  Loan
Balance  of the Home  Equity  Loans as bad  debt,  (iii)  take a deed in lieu of
foreclosure,  (iv)  accept a short sale (a payoff of the Home Equity Loan for an
amount less than the total amount  contractually  owed in order to  facilitate a
sale of the Mortgaged  Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short  refinancing
(a  payoff of the Home  Equity  Loan for an  amount  less than the total  amount
contractually  owed in  order  to  facilitate  refinancing  transactions  by the
Mortgagor  not involving a sale of the  Mortgaged  Property),  (v) arrange for a
repayment  plan,  (vi) agree to a modification in accordance with this Servicing
Agreement,  or (vii) in the case of a Group II Loan,  take an unsecured note, in
connection  with a  negotiated  release of the lien of the  Mortgage in order to
facilitate a settlement  with the Mortgagor;  in each case subject to the rights
of any related first lien holder; provided that in connection with the foregoing
if the Master  Servicer  has actual  knowledge  that any  Mortgaged  Property is
affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or substances and that the  acquisition of
such Mortgaged  Property would not be commercially  reasonable,  then the Master
Servicer will not cause the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee to acquire title to
such Mortgaged  Property in a foreclosure or similar  proceeding.  In connection

                                       19
<PAGE>


in the case of any default on a related  senior  mortgage loan, the advancing of
funds to  correct  such  default  if  deemed  to be  appropriate  by the  Master
Servicer) and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
normal and usual in its general  mortgage  servicing  activities and as shall be
required or permitted by the Program  Guide;  provided that the Master  Servicer
shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in
connection  with any such  foreclosure  or  attempted  foreclosure  which is not
completed or other conversion in a manner that is consistent with the provisions
of this  Servicing  Agreement.  The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the
Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with
any foreclosure or attempted  foreclosure  which is not completed or towards the
correction of any default on a related  senior  mortgage loan or  restoration of
any property unless it shall determine that such  expenditure  will increase Net
Liquidation  Proceeds.  In the event of a  determination  by the Master Servicer
that any such expenditure previously made pursuant to this Section 3.07 will not
be  reimbursable  from Net  Liquidation  Proceeds,  the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of its funds so expended pursuant to Section 3.03.

               In addition, the Master Servicer may pursue any remedies that may
be available in connection with a breach of a  representation  and warranty with
respect to any such Home Equity Loan in accordance  with Section 2.03.  However,
the Master  Servicer is not required to continue to pursue both  foreclosure (or
similar  remedies)  with  respect  to the Home  Equity  Loans  and  remedies  in
connection with a breach of a representation and warranty if the Master Servicer
determines in its reasonable  discretion  that one such remedy is more likely to
result in a greater  recovery as to the Home Equity Loan. Upon the occurrence of
a Cash  Liquidation or REO  Disposition,  following the deposit in the Custodial
Account of all Insurance Proceeds,  Liquidation  Proceeds and other payments and
recoveries  referred  to  in  the  definition  of  "Cash  Liquidation"  or  "REO
Disposition,"  as applicable,  upon receipt by the Indenture  Trustee of written
notification  of such  deposit  signed by a  Servicing  Officer,  the  Indenture
Trustee  or any  Custodian,  as the case may be,  shall  release  to the  Master
Servicer the related  Mortgage File and the Indenture  Trustee shall execute and
deliver  such  instruments  of  transfer  or  assignment  prepared by the Master
Servicer, in each case without recourse,  representation or warranty as shall be
necessary to vest in the Master  Servicer or its  designee,  as the case may be,
the related Home Equity Loan, and thereafter  such Home Equity Loan shall not be
part of the Trust.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement,  in  the  Master  Servicer's  sole  discretion  with  respect  to any
defaulted  Home  Equity  Loan or REO  Property  as to  either  of the  following
provisions,  (i) a Cash  Liquidation  or REO  Disposition  may be deemed to have
occurred  if  substantially  all amounts  expected by the Master  Servicer to be
received  in  connection  with the  related  defaulted  Home  Equity Loan or REO
Property  have been  received;  provided,  however,  a Cash  Liquidation  or REO
Disposition  shall be deemed to have  occurred  with respect to any Group I Loan
that is 180  days or more  delinquent  as of the end of the  related  Collection
Period;  provided further,  however, any subsequent  collections with respect to
any such Group I Loan shall be deposited to the Custodial Account,  and (ii) for
purposes  of  determining  the  amount of any  Liquidation  Proceeds,  Insurance
Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled collections or the amount of any
Liquidation  Loss Amount,  the Master  Servicer  may take into  account  minimal
amounts  of  additional  receipts  expected  to be  received  or  any  estimated
additional  liquidation  expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the
related defaulted Group I Loan or REO Property.

                                       20

        In the  event  that  title to any  Mortgaged  Property  is  acquired  in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of  foreclosure,  the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued in the name of the Indenture  Trustee or a nominee thereof,  who
shall hold the same on behalf of the Issuer in  accordance  with Section 3.13 of
the Indenture. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of
the related Home Equity Loan, such Mortgaged Property shall (except as otherwise
expressly  provided  herein) be considered to be an outstanding Home Equity Loan
held as an asset of the Issuer until such time as such  property  shall be sold.
Consistent  with the foregoing for purposes of all  calculations  hereunder,  so
long as such Mortgaged  Property  shall be considered to be an outstanding  Home
Equity  Loan it shall be assumed  that,  notwithstanding  that the  indebtedness
evidenced by the related Loan Agreement  shall have been  discharged,  such Loan
Agreement  in effect at the time of any such  acquisition  of title  before  any
adjustment  thereto by reason of any  bankruptcy  or similar  proceeding  or any
moratorium or similar waiver or grace period will remain in effect.

        In the event that the Trust  acquires  any REO  Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in  connection  with a default or imminent  default on a Group I Loan,
the Master  Servicer on behalf the Trust shall  dispose of such REO  Property as
soon  as  practicable,   giving  due  consideration  to  the  interests  of  the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders, but in all cases within three full years
after the taxable year of its  acquisition  by the Trust for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8)  of the  Code (or  such  shorter  period  as may be  necessary  under
applicable  state (including any state in which such property is located) law to
maintain  the status of each of REMIC I or REMIC II as a REMIC under  applicable
state law and avoid taxes resulting from such property failing to be foreclosure
property under applicable  state law) or, at the expense of the Trust,  request,
more than 60 days  before  the day on which such grace  period  would  otherwise
expire, an extension of such grace period unless the Master Servicer obtains for
the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,  addressed to the Indenture Trustee
and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO
Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited  transactions"  as defined in Section  860F of the Code or cause the
Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for  federal  (or any  applicable  State or
local) income tax purposes) at any time that any  Certificates  are outstanding,
in which case the Trust may continue to hold such REO  Property  (subject to any
conditions  contained in such Opinion of Counsel).  The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed  from the Custodial  Account for any costs incurred in
obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.03.  Notwithstanding
any other  provision of this  Agreement,  no REO Property  acquired by the Trust
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on
behalf of the Trust in such a manner or  pursuant  to any terms  that  would (i)
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure  property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject REMIC I or REMIC II to
the  imposition  of any federal  income taxes on the income earned from such REO
Property,  including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860G(c) of the Code,
unless the Master  Servicer has agreed to indemnify  and hold harmless the Trust
with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

        Any  proceeds  from the purchase or  repurchase  of any Home Equity Loan
pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement  (including without limitation


                                       21
<PAGE>

Sections  2.03 and 3.15)  will be applied in the  following  order of  priority:
first,  to the Master  Servicer or the related  Subservicer,  all Servicing Fees
payable  therefrom to the Payment Date on which such amounts are to be deposited
in the Payment  Account;  second,  as Interest  Collections,  accrued and unpaid
interest on the related  Home Equity  Loan,  at the Net Loan Rate to the Payment
Date on which such  amounts  are to be  deposited  in the Payment  Account;  and
third, as Principal  Collections,  as a recovery of principal on the Home Equity
Loan.

        Liquidation  Proceeds with respect to a Liquidated Home Equity Loan will
be applied in the following  order of priority:  first,  to reimburse the Master
Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance with this Section 3.07 for any
Liquidation Expenses; second, to the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer,
all unpaid  Servicing Fees through the date of receipt of the final  Liquidation
Proceeds;  third,  as Principal  Collections,  as a recovery of principal on the
Home Equity Loan,  up to an amount equal to the Loan Balance of the related Home
Equity Loan  immediately  prior to the date it became a  Liquidated  Home Equity
Loan;  fourth,  as  Interest  Collections,  accrued  and unpaid  interest on the
related Home Equity Loan at the Net Loan Rate through the date of receipt of the
final Liquidation Proceeds; and fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.

        Proceeds and other recoveries from a Home Equity Loan after it becomes a
Liquidated  Home Equity Loan will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance
with this Section 3.07 for any expenses previously unreimbursed from Liquidation
Proceeds  or  otherwise;   second,   to  the  Master  Servicer  or  the  related
Subservicer,  all unpaid  Servicing  Fees  payable  thereto  through the date of
receipt of the proceeds  previously  unreimbursed  from Liquidation  Proceeds or
otherwise;  third, as Interest Collections,  up to an amount equal to the sum of
(a) the Loan  Balance of the related Home Equity Loan  immediately  prior to the
date it became a Liquidated Home Equity Loan, less any Net Liquidation  Proceeds
previously  received  with  respect to such Home  Equity  Loan and  applied as a
recovery of principal,  and (b) accrued and unpaid  interest on the related Home
Equity Loan at the Net Loan Rate  through  the date of receipt of the  proceeds;
and fourth, to Foreclosure Profits.

        In the event of a  default  on a Home  Equity  Loan one or more of whose
obligors is a Non-United  States Person,  in connection  with any foreclosure or
acquisition  of a deed in  lieu  of  foreclosure  (together,  "foreclosure")  in
respect of such Home Equity Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with
the provisions of Treasury  Regulation Section  1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor
thereto)  necessary to assure that no  withholding  tax  obligation  arises with
respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure  except to the extent,  if any, that
proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Home Equity Loan.

Section  3.08  ISSUER AND  INDENTURE  TRUSTEE TO  COOPERATE.  On or before  each
Payment  Date,  the Master  Servicer  will notify the  Indenture  Trustee or the
Custodian,  with a copy to the Issuer,  of the  termination of or the payment in
full and the termination of any Home Equity Loan during the preceding Collection
Period.  Upon receipt of payment in full,  the Master  Servicer is authorized to
execute,  pursuant  to the  authorization  contained  in  Section  3.01,  if the
assignments  of Mortgage  have been  recorded to the extent  required  under the
Purchase  Agreement,   an  instrument  of  satisfaction  regarding  the  related


                                       22
<PAGE>

Mortgage,  which  instrument  of  satisfaction  shall be  recorded by the Master
Servicer if required by applicable  law and be delivered to the Person  entitled
thereto and cause the removal  from the  registration  of the MERS(R)  System of
such  Mortgage.  It is  understood  and agreed  that any  expenses  incurred  in
connection  with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed
from  amounts  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account.  From  time to time and as
appropriate  for the  servicing  or  foreclosure  of any Home Equity  Loan,  the
Indenture  Trustee or the Custodian  shall,  upon request of the Master Servicer
and delivery to the Indenture  Trustee or Custodian,  with a copy to the Issuer,
of a Request for Release,  in the form annexed  hereto as Exhibit C, signed by a
Servicing Officer,  release or cause to be released the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer and the Issuer or Indenture  Trustee shall promptly  execute
such  documents,  in the forms  provided  by the  Master  Servicer,  as shall be
necessary for the  prosecution  of any such  proceedings  or the taking of other
servicing  actions.  Such trust  receipt shall  obligate the Master  Servicer to
return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian (as specified
in such receipt) when the need therefor by the Master  Servicer no longer exists
unless the Home Equity Loan shall be liquidated,  in which case, upon receipt of
a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified,  the
trust receipt shall be released to the Master Servicer.

        In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Home
Equity  Loan that is in default  following  recordation  of the  assignments  of
Mortgage in  accordance  with the  provisions  of the  Purchase  Agreement,  the
Indenture  Trustee or the Issuer shall, if so requested in writing by the Master
Servicer, promptly execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided by the
Master Servicer to assign such Home Equity Loan for the purpose of collection to
the Master Servicer (any such assignment shall  unambiguously  indicate that the
assignment is for the purpose of collection  only),  and, upon such  assignment,
such assignee for collection  will thereupon  bring all required  actions in its
own name and otherwise  enforce the terms of the Home Equity Loan and deposit or
credit the Net Liquidation Proceeds,  exclusive of Foreclosure Profits, received
with respect thereto in the Custodial Account.  In the event that all delinquent
payments due under any such Home Equity Loan are paid by the  Mortgagor  and any
other  defaults  are cured,  then the  assignee for  collection  shall  promptly
reassign such Home Equity Loan to the  Indenture  Trustee and return all Related
Documents to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

        In connection  with the Issuer's  obligation to cooperate as provided in
this Section 3.08 and all other provisions of this Servicing Agreement requiring
the Issuer to  authorize  or permit any actions to be taken with  respect to the
Home Equity Loans,  the Indenture  Trustee,  as pledgee of the Home Equity Loans
and as  assignee  of record  of the Home  Equity  Loans on behalf of the  Issuer
pursuant to Section 3.13 of the Indenture,  expressly  agrees,  on behalf of the
Issuer, to take all such actions on behalf of the Issuer and to promptly execute
and  return all  instruments  reasonably  required  by the  Master  Servicer  in
connection  therewith;  provided,  that if the Master  Servicer  shall request a
signature of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, the Master Servicer
will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that such
signature is necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties under this Servicing Agreement.

Section  3.09  SERVICING  COMPENSATION;  PAYMENT OF CERTAIN  EXPENSES  BY MASTER
SERVICER.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing
Fee in accordance with Sections 3.02 and 3.03 as  compensation  for its services
in connection with servicing the Home Equity Loans.  Subject to Section 3.07, in


                                       23
<PAGE>

the event that  Liquidation  Proceeds,  Insurance  Proceeds  and REO Proceeds in
respect of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition  exceed the unpaid Loan Balance
of such Home Equity Loan plus unpaid  interest  accrued  thereon  (including REO
Imputed  Interest) at the related Net Loan Rate,  the Master  Servicer  shall be
entitled  to  retain   therefrom  and  to  pay  to  itself  and/or  the  related
Subservicer,  any Foreclosure Profits.  Additional servicing compensation in the
form of prepayment charges, assumption fees, investment income on amounts in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate  Distribution Account or otherwise shall be
retained  by the Master  Servicer  or the  Subservicer  to the  extent  provided
herein. Moreover,  additional servicing compensation in the form of late payment
charges and other receipts not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account
as specified in Section  3.02(b) shall be retained by the Master  Servicer.  The
Master  Servicer  shall  be  required  to pay  all  expenses  incurred  by it in
connection with its activities  hereunder  (including  payment of all other fees
and  expenses  not  expressly  stated  hereunder  to be for the  account  of the
Securityholders,  including,  without  limitation,  the fees and expenses of the
Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and any Custodian) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor.

Section 3.10 ANNUAL  STATEMENT AS TO  COMPLIANCE.  (a) The Master  Servicer will
deliver to the Issuer,  each Underwriter and the Indenture Trustee,  with a copy
to the Credit Enhancer,  on or before March 31 of each year, beginning March 31,
2002, an Officer's  Certificate  stating that (i) a review of the  activities of
the Master  Servicer  during the preceding  calendar year and of its performance
under  servicing  agreements,  including this Servicing  Agreement has been made
under  such  officer's  supervision  and  (ii) to the  best  of  such  officer's
knowledge,  based on such  review,  the  Master  Servicer  has  complied  in all
material respects with the minimum servicing  standards set forth in the Uniform
Single  Attestation  Program for Mortgage  Bankers and has  fulfilled all of its
material obligations in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there
has been material  noncompliance  with such servicing  standards or a default in
the fulfillment in all material respects of any such obligation relating to this
Servicing  Agreement,  such  statement  shall  include  a  description  of  such
noncompliance  or specify each such  default,  as the case may be, known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b) The Master  Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee,
with a copy to the Credit  Enhancer,  promptly after having  obtained  knowledge
thereof,  but in no event  later than five  Business  Days  thereafter,  written
notice by means of an Officer's  Certificate  of any event which with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become a Servicing Default.

Section  3.11  ANNUAL  SERVICING  REPORT.  On or before  March 31 of each  year,
beginning  March 31, 2002, the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm
of nationally  recognized  independent  public  accountants (who may also render
other  services to the Master  Servicer) to furnish a report to the Issuer,  the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, each Underwriter, the Credit Enhancer and each
Rating Agency stating its opinion that, on the basis of an examination conducted
by such firm  substantially  in accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the assertions made pursuant
to Section 3.10 regarding  compliance with the minimum  servicing  standards set
forth in the Uniform Single Attestation  Program for Mortgage Bankers during the
preceding calendar year are fairly stated in all material  respects,  subject to


                                       24
<PAGE>

such exceptions and other qualifications that, in the opinion of such firm, such
accounting  standards  require it to report.  In rendering such statement,  such
firm may rely,  as to matters  relating to the direct  servicing  of Home Equity
Loans by Subservicers,  upon comparable statements for examinations conducted by
independent  public  accountants  substantially  in  accordance  with  standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants  (rendered
within one year of such statement) with respect to such Subservicers.

Section 3.12 ACCESS TO CERTAIN  DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE HOME
EQUITY Loans.  Whenever  required by statute or regulation,  the Master Servicer
shall provide to the Credit Enhancer, any Securityholder upon reasonable request
(or a regulator  for a  Securityholder)  or the  Indenture  Trustee,  reasonable
access to the  documentation  regarding  the Home Equity Loans such access being
afforded  without  charge but only upon  reasonable  request  and during  normal
business  hours at the offices of the Master  Servicer.  Nothing in this Section
3.12 shall  derogate from the  obligation of the Master  Servicer to observe any
applicable law  prohibiting  disclosure of information  regarding the Mortgagors
and the  failure of the Master  Servicer  to provide  access as provided in this
Section  3.12 as a result of such  obligation  shall not  constitute a breach of
this Section 3.12.

Section 3.13 MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN  SERVICING  INSURANCE  POLICIES.  The Master
Servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer  maintain in force (i)
a  policy  or  policies  of  insurance  covering  errors  and  omissions  in the
performance of its obligations as master servicer  hereunder and (ii) a fidelity
bond in respect  of its  officers,  employees  or  agents.  Each such  policy or
policies and bond shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required
by Fannie Mae or Freddie  Mac,  whichever  is greater,  for  Persons  performing
servicing for Home Equity Loans purchased by such entity. Coverage of the Master
Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master  Servicer
and  providing  the coverage  required by this  Section  3.13 shall  satisfy the
requirements of this Section 3.13.

Section 3.14 INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND REPORTS OF
FORECLOSURES AND ABANDONMENTS OF MORTGAGED  PROPERTY.  The Master Servicer shall
prepare and deliver all federal and state  information  reports  with respect to
the Home Equity Loans when and as required by all  applicable  state and federal
income tax laws. In particular,  with respect to the  requirement  under Section
6050J of the Code to the effect that the Master  Servicer or  Subservicer  shall
make reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any mortgaged property for each
year  beginning in 2001, the Master  Servicer or Subservicer  shall file reports
relating to each instance  occurring during the previous  calendar year in which
the Master  Servicer  (i) on behalf of the  Issuer,  acquires an interest in any
Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or
partial  satisfaction of a Home Equity Loan, or (ii) knows or has reason to know
that any  Mortgaged  Property  has been  abandoned.  The reports from the Master
Servicer or  Subservicer  shall be in form and substance  sufficient to meet the
reporting  requirements  imposed by Section  6050J and  Section  6050H  (reports
relating to mortgage interest received) of the Code.

Section 3.15   OPTIONAL REPURCHASE OR TRANSFER OF HOME EQUITY LOANS.

(a)  Notwithstanding  any provision in Section 3.07 to the contrary,  the Master
Servicer,  at its option and in its sole  discretion,  may  repurchase  any Home
Equity Loan that is  delinquent in payment for a period of 60 days or longer for
a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided,  that any such Home Equity Loan
that becomes 60 days or more delinquent  during any given Calendar Quarter shall


                                       25
<PAGE>

only be eligible for purchase pursuant to this Section 3.15(a) during the period
beginning  on the first  Business Day of the  following  Calendar  Quarter,  and
ending at the  close of  business  on the  second-to-last  Business  Day of such
following Calendar Quarter; and provided further,  that such Home Equity Loan is
60  days or more  delinquent  at the  time of  repurchase.  Such  option  if not
exercised shall not thereafter be reinstated as to any Home Equity Loan,  unless
the  delinquency  is cured and the Home Equity  Loan  thereafter  again  becomes
delinquent in payment by 60 days or more in a subsequent Calendar Quarter. If at
any time the Master Servicer makes a payment to the Payment Account covering the
amount of the  Repurchase  Price for such a Home  Equity  Loan,  and the  Master
Servicer provides to the Indenture Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing
Officer  stating  that the  amount of such  payment  has been  deposited  in the
Payment Account, then the Indenture Trustee shall execute the assignment of such
Home  Equity  Loan at the  request  of the  Master  Servicer  without  recourse,
representation or warranty to the Master Servicer which shall succeed to all the
Indenture  Trustee's  right,  title and  interest  in and to such Loan,  and all
security and documents relative thereto.  Such assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security.  The Master Servicer will thereupon own such Home
Equity Loan, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation
to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders with respect thereto.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Master Servicer, upon receipt
of written notice and direction  from the Issuer,  shall cause the retransfer of
Group II Loans  from the  Indenture  Trustee  to the  Issuer  as of the close of
business on a Payment Date (the "Transfer Date"). On the fifth Business Day (the
"Transfer  Notice Date") prior to the Transfer  Date  designated in such notice,
the Master  Servicer shall give the Indenture  Trustee,  the Rating Agencies and
the Credit Enhancer a notice of the proposed  retransfer that contains a list of
the Home Equity Loans to be  retransferred.  Such  retransfers of Group II Loans
shall be permitted upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)     No Amortization Event has occurred;

(ii) On the Transfer Date, the Outstanding  Overcollateralization  Amount (after
giving effect to the removal from the Trust of the Group II Loans proposed to be
transferred) will equal or exceed Overcollateralization Amount Target;

(iii) On or before the Transfer Date,  the Master  Servicer shall have delivered
to the Indenture  Trustee a revised Home Equity Loan  Schedule  showing that the
Home Equity Loans are no longer owned by the Trust;

(iv) The Master  Servicer shall represent and warrant that the Group II Loans to
be removed from the Trust were selected at random and the Master  Servicer shall
have  received  the consent of the Credit  Enhancer as to the  selection  of the
particular Group II Loans to be removed; and

(v) The Master  Servicer shall have  delivered to the Indenture  Trustee and the
Credit Enhancer an officer's certificate  certifying that the items set forth in
subparagraphs (i) through (iv),  inclusive,  have been performed or are true and
correct, as the case may be. The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on such
officer's  certificate,  shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the
matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.

                                       26
<PAGE>

        The Master  Servicer  shall not be permitted to effect the retransfer of
any Group II Loan except under the conditions  specified  above.  Upon receiving
the requisite  notice and direction from the Issuer,  the Master  Servicer shall
perform in a timely manner those acts required of it, as specified  above.  Upon
satisfaction of the above conditions, on the Transfer Date the Indenture Trustee
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,  to the Issuer a written itemization of
each Group II Loan being  transferred,  together with the Mortgage File for each
such Home Equity Loan,  and the  Indenture  Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Issuer or its designee such other documents  prepared by the Master Servicer
as shall be reasonably necessary to transfer such Group II Loans to the Group II
Certificateholders.  Any such transfer of the Trust's right,  title and interest
in and to the  Group  II Loans  shall be  without  recourse,  representation  or
warranty  by or of the  Indenture  Trustee  or the  Trust to the  Issuer  or its
designee.

                               THE MASTER SERVICER

Section 6.01  LIABILITY OF THE MASTER  SERVICER.  The Master  Servicer  shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed upon and undertaken by the Master Servicer herein.

Section 6.02 MERGER OR  CONSOLIDATION  OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE  OBLIGATIONS OF,
THE MASTER  SERVICER.  Any  corporation  into which the Master  Servicer  may be
merged or converted  or with which it may be  consolidated,  or any  corporation
resulting  from any  merger,  conversion  or  consolidation  to which the Master
Servicer shall be a party, or any corporation  succeeding to the business of the
Master  Servicer,  shall be the  successor  of the Master  Servicer,  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.

        The Master  Servicer  may assign its rights and  delegate its duties and
obligations under this Servicing Agreement;  provided, that the Person accepting
such  assignment or  delegation  shall be a Person which is qualified to service
Home Equity Loans,  is  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Indenture  Trustee (as
pledgee of the Home  Equity  Loans),  the Issuer  and the  Credit  Enhancer,  is
willing to service  the Home  Equity  Loans and  executes  and  delivers  to the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an agreement,  in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, which
contains an  assumption by such Person of the due and punctual  performance  and
observance  of each  covenant  and  condition to be performed or observed by the
Master Servicer under this Servicing  Agreement;  provided,  further,  that each
Rating  Agency's  rating of the Securities in effect  immediately  prior to such
assignment  and  delegation  will not be qualified,  reduced,  or withdrawn as a
result of such  assignment  and  delegation  (as  evidenced  by a letter to such
effect from each Rating  Agency),  if  determined  without  regard to the Credit
Enhancement Instrument;  and provided,  further, that the Owner Trustee receives
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such assignment or delegation shall not
cause the Trust to be treated as a  corporation  for federal or state income tax
purposes.

Section 6.03 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND OTHERS.  Neither
the Master  Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Master  Servicer  shall be under any  liability to the Issuer,  the Owner
Trustee,  the Indenture Trustee or the  Securityholders  for any action taken or
for  refraining  from the taking of any action in good  faith  pursuant  to this
Servicing Agreement,  provided,  however,  that this provision shall not protect
the Master  Servicer  or any such  Person  against  any  liability  which  would
otherwise  be imposed by reason of its willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross
negligence  in the  performance  of its  duties  hereunder  or by  reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.  The Master Servicer
and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely
in good faith on any  document of any kind prima  facie  properly  executed  and
submitted by any Person  respecting any matters  arising  hereunder.  The Master
Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Issuer and held harmless against any loss, liability
or  expense  incurred  in  connection  with any legal  action  relating  to this
Servicing  Agreement or the  Securities,  including any amount paid to the Owner


                                       31
<PAGE>

Trustee or the Indenture  Trustee  pursuant to Section  6.06(b),  other than any
loss,  liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful  misfeasance,  bad
faith or gross  negligence  in the  performance  of its duties  hereunder  or by
reason of its reckless  disregard of its obligations and duties  hereunder.  The
Master  Servicer  shall not be under any  obligation to appear in,  prosecute or
defend any legal  action  which is not  incidental  to its duties to service the
Home Equity Loans in accordance with this Servicing Agreement,  and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;  provided, however, that the
Master  Servicer may in its sole  discretion  undertake any such action which it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Servicing Agreement,  and the
rights  and  duties  of  the   parties   hereto   and  the   interests   of  the
Securityholders.  In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such
action  and any  liability  resulting  therefrom  shall be  expenses,  costs and
liabilities  of the  Issuer,  and the Master  Servicer  shall be  entitled to be
reimbursed  therefor.  The Master Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive any  resignation  or  termination of
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses,
expenses,  costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination
(or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).

Section 6.04 MASTER SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.02,  the Master  Servicer  shall not resign  from the  obligations  and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon  determination  that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer  permissible  under applicable law
or are in  material  conflict  by  reason  of  applicable  law  with  any  other
activities  carried  on by it or  its  subsidiaries  or  Affiliates,  the  other
activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and
nature carried on by the Master  Servicer or its  subsidiaries  or Affiliates at
the date of this Servicing  Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following
conditions:  (a) the Master  Servicer has  proposed a successor  servicer to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer
is  reasonably  acceptable to the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and the Credit
Enhancer;  (b) each Rating  Agency shall have  delivered a letter to the Issuer,
the Credit  Enhancer and the Indenture  Trustee prior to the  appointment of the
successor  servicer  stating that the  proposed  appointment  of such  successor
servicer  as Master  Servicer  hereunder  will not  result in the  reduction  or
withdrawal of the then current rating of the Securities,  if determined  without
regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument;  and (c) such proposed  successor
servicer is  reasonably  acceptable  to the Credit  Enhancer,  as evidenced by a
letter to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; provided,  however, that no such
resignation by the Master  Servicer shall become  effective until such successor
servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Indenture Trustee,  as pledgee of the
Home Equity Loans, shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations  hereunder or the Indenture  Trustee,  as pledgee of the Home Equity
Loans,  shall have  designated a successor  servicer in accordance  with Section
7.02.  Any  such   resignation   shall  not  relieve  the  Master   Servicer  of
responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as
obligations  that survive the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer.
Any such  determination  permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect  delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and the Credit Enhancer.

Section  6.05  DELEGATION  OF DUTIES.  In the ordinary  course of business,  the
Master  Servicer at any time may  delegate  any of its duties  hereunder  to any
Person,  including any of its  Affiliates,  who agrees to conduct such duties in


                                       32
<PAGE>

accordance  with  standards  comparable to those with which the Master  Servicer
complies  pursuant to Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Master
Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and
shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.

Section 6.06 MASTER SERVICER TO PAY INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S AND OWNER TRUSTEE'S FEES
AND EXPENSES;  INDEMNIFICATION.  (a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to
pay to the Owner  Trustee,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any  co-trustee  of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee from time to time, and the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture  Trustee and any such co-trustee shall be entitled to,  reasonable
compensation  (which  shall not be limited by any  provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services  rendered by
each of them in the execution of the trusts  created  under the Trust  Agreement
and the Indenture and in the exercise and  performance  of any of the powers and
duties under the Trust  Agreement or the  Indenture,  as the case may be, of the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee, and the Master Servicer
will pay or reimburse the Indenture  Trustee and any co-trustee upon request for
all  reasonable  expenses,  disbursements  and advances  incurred or made by the
Indenture  Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Servicing Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
arise from its negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith.

(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture  Trustee and the Owner
Trustee for, and to hold the  Indenture  Trustee and the Owner  Trustee,  as the
case may be, harmless against,  any loss,  liability or expense incurred without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, arising out of, or in connection with,
the  acceptance  and  administration  of the  Issuer  and  the  assets  thereof,
including the costs and expenses (including  reasonable legal fees and expenses)
of defending the  Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee,  as the case may be,
against any claim in connection  with the exercise or  performance of any of its
powers or duties under any Basic Document, provided that:

(i) with respect to any such claim, the Indenture  Trustee or Owner Trustee,  as
the case may be, shall have given the Master  Servicer  written  notice  thereof
promptly after the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall
have actual knowledge thereof;

(ii) while maintaining  control over its own defense,  the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or Owner Trustee,  as the case may be, shall cooperate and consult fully
with the Master Servicer in preparing such defense; and

(iii) notwithstanding  anything in this Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall not be liable for settlement of any claim by the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, entered into without the prior
consent of the Master Servicer.

        No termination of this Servicing  Agreement shall affect the obligations
created by this Section 6.06 of the Master  Servicer to indemnify  the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee under the  conditions  and to the extent set forth
herein.


                                       33
<PAGE>

        Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  indemnification  provided  by the
Master Servicer in this Section 6.06(b) shall not pertain to any loss, liability
or expense of the Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee,  including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim,  incurred in connection with
any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee at the direction
of the  Noteholders or  Certificateholders,  as the case may be, pursuant to the
terms of this Servicing Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                     DEFAULT

Section 7.01 SERVICING  DEFAULT.  If any one of the following events ("Servicing
Default") shall occur and be continuing:

(a) Any failure by the Master  Servicer to deposit in the  Custodial  Account or
Payment  Account  any  deposit  required  to be made  under  the  terms  of this
Servicing  Agreement  which  continues  unremedied for a period of five Business
Days after the date upon which  written  notice of such failure  shall have been
given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee,  or to the
Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or

(b) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material  respect any other  covenants or agreements of the Master  Servicer set
forth in the Securities or in this Servicing  Agreement,  which failure, in each
case,  materially and adversely affects the interests of  Securityholders or the
Credit Enhancer and which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been
given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee,  or to the
Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or

(c) The entry  against  the Master  Servicer  of a decree or order by a court or
agency or  supervisory  authority  having  jurisdiction  in the premises for the
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
conservatorship,  receivership,  readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings,  or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs,  and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(d) The Master Servicer shall  voluntarily go into  liquidation,  consent to the
appointment  of a  conservator,  receiver,  liquidator or similar  person in any
insolvency,  readjustment  of debt,  marshalling  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 a  decree  or order of a court,
agency or  supervisory  authority  having  jurisdiction  in the premises for the
appointment  of a  conservator,  receiver,  liquidator or similar  person in any
insolvency,  readjustment  of debt,  marshalling  of assets and  liabilities  or
similar proceedings,  or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been  entered  against the Master  Servicer  and such decree or order shall
have  remained in force  undischarged,  unbonded or unstayed  for a period of 60
days;  or the Master  Servicer  shall admit in writing its  inability to pay its


                                       34
<PAGE>

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,

then, and in every such case, so long as a Servicing Default shall not have been
remedied by the Master  Servicer,  either the Issuer or the  Indenture  Trustee,
with the consent of the Credit Enhancer,  or the Credit Enhancer, by notice then
given in  writing to the Master  Servicer  (and to the Issuer and the  Indenture
Trustee if given by the Credit  Enhancer)  may  terminate  all of the rights and
obligations of the Master  Servicer as servicer  under this Servicing  Agreement
other  than  its  right to  receive  servicing  compensation  and  expenses  for
servicing the Home Equity Loans hereunder during any period prior to the date of
such  termination and the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee,  with the consent of
the Credit  Enhancer,  or the Credit  Enhancer  may  exercise  any and all other
remedies  available  at law or equity.  Any such  notice to the Master  Servicer
shall also be given to each Rating Agency,  the Credit  Enhancer and the Issuer.
On or after the  receipt by the Master  Servicer  of such  written  notice,  all
authority  and power of the  Master  Servicer  under this  Servicing  Agreement,
whether with respect to the  Securities  or the Home Equity Loans or  otherwise,
shall  pass to and be vested in the  Indenture  Trustee  as  pledgee of the Home
Equity Loans,  pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation,
the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,  any and all
documents  and other  instruments,  and to do or  accomplish  all other  acts or
things  necessary  or  appropriate  to effect  the  purposes  of such  notice of
termination,  whether to complete  the  transfer  and  endorsement  of each Home
Equity Loan and related documents,  or otherwise.  The Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate  with the  Indenture  Trustee  in  effecting  the  termination  of the
responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation,  the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the  administration by it
of all cash amounts  relating to the Home Equity Loans that shall at the time be
held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Custodial  Account,
or that have been deposited by the Master  Servicer in the Custodial  Account or
thereafter  received  by the Master  Servicer  with  respect to the Home  Equity
Loans.  All  reasonable  costs and  expenses  (including,  but not  limited  to,
attorneys'  fees) incurred in connection with amending this Servicing  Agreement
to reflect  such  succession  as Master  Servicer  pursuant to this Section 7.01
shall be paid by the predecessor  Master Servicer (or if the predecessor  Master
Servicer  is  the  Indenture   Trustee,   the  initial  Master   Servicer)  upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

        Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder,  the Master  Servicer  shall be entitled to receive,  out of any late
collection  of a payment on a Home Equity Loan which was due prior to the notice
terminating the Master Servicer's rights and obligations  hereunder and received
after such  notice,  that portion to which the Master  Servicer  would have been
entitled  pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.09 as well as its Master Servicing Fee
in  respect  thereof,  and any other  amounts  payable  to the  Master  Servicer
hereunder  the  entitlement  to  which  arose  prior to the  termination  of its
activities hereunder.

        Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a delay in or failure  of  performance
under  Section  7.01(a) or under  Section  7.01(b)  after the  applicable  grace
periods specified in such Sections,  shall not constitute a Servicing Default if
such delay or failure  could not be  prevented  by the  exercise  of  reasonable
diligence by the Master  Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act
of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder,


                                       35
<PAGE>

rebellion or  sabotage,  epidemics,  landslides,  lightning,  fire,  hurricanes,
earthquakes,  floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve
the Master  Servicer  from using  reasonable  efforts to perform its  respective
obligations  in a timely manner in accordance  with the terms of this  Servicing
Agreement  and the Master  Servicer  shall provide the  Indenture  Trustee,  the
Credit Enhancer and the Securityholders  with notice of such failure or delay by
it,  together with a description  of its efforts to so perform its  obligations.
The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture  Trustee,  the Credit
Enhancer and the Owner Trustee in writing of any Servicing Default.

Section 7.02   INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) On and after the time the Master  Servicer  receives a notice of termination
pursuant  to  Section  7.01 or sends a notice  pursuant  to  Section  6.04,  the
Indenture  Trustee as pledgee of the Home Equity Loans shall be the successor in
all  respects  to the Master  Servicer in its  capacity  as servicer  under this
Servicing  Agreement and the  transactions  set forth or provided for herein and
shall be subject to all the  responsibilities,  duties and liabilities  relating
thereto  placed on the  Master  Servicer  by the terms  and  provisions  hereof.
Nothing in this Servicing Agreement or in the Trust Agreement shall be construed
to  permit  or  require   the   Indenture   Trustee   to  (i)   succeed  to  the
responsibilities,  duties and  liabilities of the initial Master Servicer in its
capacity  as  Seller  under  the  Purchase  Agreement,  (ii) be  responsible  or
accountable for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance
of a notice of  termination  hereunder,  (iii) require or obligate the Indenture
Trustee, in its capacity as successor Master Servicer,  to purchase,  repurchase
or  substitute  any Home Equity Loan,  (iv) fund any  Additional  Balances  with
respect to any Home Equity Loan, (v) fund any losses on any Permitted Investment
directed  by  any  other  Master  Servicer,  or  (vi)  be  responsible  for  the
representations and warranties of the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor,
the  Indenture  Trustee  shall be  entitled to such  compensation  as the Master
Servicer  would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination
had been  given.  Notwithstanding  the above,  (i) if the  Indenture  Trustee is
unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer,  or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee
is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Home Equity
Loans may (in the situation  described in clause (i)) or shall (in the situation
described in clause (ii)) appoint or petition a court of competent  jurisdiction
to appoint any established housing and home finance  institution,  bank or other
mortgage loan or home equity loan  servicer  having a net worth of not less than
$10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer  hereunder in the assumption
of all or any part of the responsibilities,  duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer hereunder;  provided,  that any such successor Master Servicer shall be
acceptable to the Credit Enhancer,  as evidenced by the Credit  Enhancer's prior
written  consent which consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld and provided
further that the  appointment  of any such  successor  Master  Servicer will not
result in the qualification,  reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to
the  Securities  by the Rating  Agencies,  if determined  without  regard to the
Credit Enhancement Instrument.  Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer here under,  unless the Indenture  Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting,  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  act in  such  capacity  as  hereinabove
provided.  In connection with such  appointment  and  assumption,  the successor
shall be entitled to receive  compensation  out of payments on Home Equity Loans
in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise
have  received  pursuant  to Section  3.09 (or such lesser  compensation  as the
Indenture  Trustee  and  such  successor  shall  agree).  The  appointment  of a
successor  Master  Servicer  shall not affect any  liability of the  predecessor
Master  Servicer which may have arisen under this Servicing  Agreement  prior to
its  termination  as  Master  Servicer  (including,   without  limitation,   the
obligation  to purchase  Home Equity Loans  pursuant to Section 3.01, to pay any


                                       36
<PAGE>

deductible  under an insurance  policy  pursuant to Section 3.04 or to indemnify
the Indenture  Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall any successor Master
Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor  Master Servicer
or for any  breach by such  Master  Servicer  of any of its  representations  or
warranties  contained  herein  or in any  related  document  or  agreement.  The
Indenture  Trustee and such successor  shall take such action,  consistent  with
this  Servicing  Agreement,  as  shall  be  necessary  to  effectuate  any  such
succession.

(b) Any successor,  including the Indenture  Trustee,  to the Master Servicer as
servicer  shall  during the term of its  service as  servicer  (i)  continue  to
service  and   administer   the  Home  Equity  Loans  for  the  benefit  of  the
Securityholders,  (ii)  maintain  in force a policy  or  policies  of  insurance
covering  errors and omissions in the  performance of its  obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents to the same  extent as the Master  Servicer  is so  required  pursuant to
Section 3.13 and (iii) be bound by the terms of the Insurance Agreement.

(c) Any successor Master Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall not be
deemed in default or to have  breached its duties  hereunder if the  predecessor
Master  Servicer  shall fail to deliver any  required  deposit to the  Custodial
Account  or  otherwise   cooperate  with  any  required  servicing  transfer  or
succession hereunder.

(d) In connection  with the  termination or  resignation of the Master  Servicer
hereunder,  either (i) the successor  Master  Servicer,  including the Indenture
Trustee if the Indenture  Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer,  shall
represent  and warrant  that it is a member of MERS in good  standing  and shall
agree to comply in all material  respects with the rules and  procedures of MERS
in connection  with the  servicing of the Home Equity Loans that are  registered
with MERS, in which case the  predecessor  Master  Servicer shall cooperate with
the successor  Master  Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect
the transfer of servicing to the successor  Master  Servicer as necessary  under
MERS' rules and  regulations,  or (ii) the  predecessor  Master  Servicer  shall
cooperate  with the  successor  Master  Servicer in causing  MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment  of Mortgage in  recordable  form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the  Indenture  Trustee  and to  execute  and  deliver  such  other
notices,  documents  and other  instruments  as may be necessary or desirable to
effect a transfer of such Home Equity Loan or servicing of such Home Equity Loan
on the MERS(R) System to the successor Master Servicer.  The predecessor  Master
Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such  assignment in the appropriate
recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of
MERS,  costs of preparing  any  assignments  of Mortgage,  and fees and costs of
filing any  assignments of Mortgage that may be required  under this  subsection
(d). The successor  Master  Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered
to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian  promptly upon receipt of the original
with evidence of recording  thereon or a copy certified by the public  recording
office in which such assignment was recorded.

Section  7.03  NOTIFICATION  TO  SECURITYHOLDERS.  Upon  any  termination  of or
appointment of a successor to the Master  Servicer  pursuant to this Article VII
or Section 6.04, the Indenture  Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the Securityholders, the Credit Enhancer, the Issuer and each Rating Agency.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 8.01  AMENDMENT.  This  Servicing  Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the parties  hereto,  provided  that any amendment be  accompanied  by a
letter  from the  Rating  Agencies  that the  amendment  will not  result in the
downgrading  or  withdrawal of the rating then  assigned to the  Securities,  if
determined  without  regard  to the  Credit  Enhancement  Instrument,  and a tax
opinion to the effect that neither such  amendment  nor any action  permitted by
such  amendment and not otherwise  permitted by this Agreement will cause either
REMIC I or  REMIC II to fail to  qualify  as a REMIC  or,  except  as  permitted
pursuant to the provisions of Section  11.01(f) of the  Indenture,  give rise to
the imposition of a tax on "prohibited  transactions"  of a REMIC, or prohibited
contributions  to a REMIC,  on either REMIC I or REMIC II and provided  further,
that the Credit Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee shall consent thereto.
