initial weighted average of the Group I Subordinate Percentages, and (a) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans delinquent
60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Group I Mortgage Loans in

Senior Percentage; provided, however, if on such Distribution Date the current
weighted average of the Group I Subordinate Percentages is equal to or greater
than two times the initial weighted average of the Group I Subordinate
Percentages on or prior to the Distribution Date occurring in November 2007 and
the above delinquency and loss tests are met, then the Group I-4 Senior
Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date will equal the Group I-4 Senior
Percentage plus 50% of the Group I-4 Subordinate Percentage.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date the Group
I-4 Senior Percentage exceeds the Group I-4 Senior Percentage as of the Cut-Off
Date, the Group I-4 Senior Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date will
equal 100%. On the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amounts of
the Group I-4 Senior Certificates are reduced to zero, the Group I-4 Senior
Prepayment Percentage shall be the minimum percentage sufficient to effect such

percentage of the sum of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Group III

Group III Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates)
immediately preceding such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is
the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group III Mortgage Loans as of the
beginning of the related Due Period, exceeds such percentage as of the Cut-off
Date, then the Senior Prepayment Percentage with respect to the Group III-1
Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date will equal 100%. On the
Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amounts of the Group III-1

months, as a percentage of the sum of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of
the Group III Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 100%, the Group III-1
Subordinate Prepayment Percentage will equal 100%. If the test set forth in the
preceding sentence is not satisfied on any Distribution Date after the Current
Principal Amount of the Group III-1 Senior Certificates have each been reduced
to zero, then the Group III-1 Subordinate Prepayment Percentage will equal zero
for such Distribution Date.

                          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

         Section 2.01 CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS TO TRUSTEE. (a) The Depositor
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers
and assigns to the Trust without recourse all its right, title and interest in
and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
including all interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans
after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due
on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be
credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the
Master Servicer Collection Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage
Loans as from time to time may be held by the Servicers in Protected Accounts,

Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the
rights with respect to the Servicing Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreements and (viii) any
proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this
Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and interest in
and to the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that
such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this
Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right,
title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the
Trust Fund, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.

         (b) In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor
hereby delivers to the related Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan:

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse to
the order of the Trustee and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the
originator thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, or lost note
affidavit together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note,

                  (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan
is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such
Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original
is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or
if clause (w) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form),

                  (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, a certified copy
of the assignment (which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted
in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to "U.S. Bank
National Association, as Trustee", with evidence of recording with respect to
each Mortgage Loan in the name of the Trustee thereon (or



                                       64
<PAGE>



if clause (w) in the proviso below applies or for Mortgage Loans with respect to
which the related Mortgaged Property is located in a state other than Maryland
or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided as set forth in this Section 2.01(b),
shall be in recordable form),

                  (iv) all intervening assignments of the Security Instrument,
if applicable and only to the extent available to the Depositor with evidence of
recording thereon,

                  (v) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of
primary mortgage guaranty insurance, to the extent available, if any,

                  (vi) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee's
certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance,

                  (vii) originals of all modification agreements, if applicable
and available; and

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to
the related Custodian, as agent of the Trustee, the following documents, under
the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security
Instrument, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which
have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording
information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon,
be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to
the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor
may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor, on the
face of such copy, substantially as follows: "Certified to be a true and correct
copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording"; (x) in lieu of
the Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments
thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents
(as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the
Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original
certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the
jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage
Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor may deliver lost note affidavits from the
Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening
assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related Underlying Seller
and the Seller, between the Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor
and the Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage
Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may
deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, a certification
to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage
Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The
Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any original
documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the
Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are
received. The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each
assignment of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not
required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the related Custodian)
which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to
protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or
(b) MERS is



                                       65
<PAGE>



identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage
as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor
and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment
shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at
no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent,
upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than
25% of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and
(iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording
the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall
be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust in accordance with Section 9.05.

         Section 2.02 ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee
acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Fund to it by the
Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and the exceptions which may
be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares that it holds,
the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the related Custodian,
as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01, and declares that it will continue to
hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and
all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the
use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On the
Closing Date, the related Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor and
the Trustee of an Initial Certification receipt of the Mortgage File, but
without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm
that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note
affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the
Trustee or the related Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, to review or cause to be reviewed by the related
Custodian on its behalf (under the applicable Custodial Agreement), each
Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim
Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the related Custodian
will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received,
and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether those documents relate,
determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and
loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Trustee or the
related Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due
execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness
of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent,
finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed
or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name,
original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face (a "Material Defect"), the Trustee
or the related Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller. In
accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct
or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the
Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and if the Seller
fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the
related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, shall
enforce the Seller's obligation under the Mortgage Loan



                                       66
<PAGE>



Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee's or the related
Custodian's notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two
years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase
Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was
discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the
inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or
intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of
such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if
the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon
receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to
the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such
document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the related Custodian, as
its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of
the original recorded document.

         (b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the
related Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee a
Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the related
Custodian, as its agent, will ascertain whether an original of each document
required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with
evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the
recording office. If the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, finds a
Material Defect, the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, shall
promptly notify the Seller (provided, however, that with respect to those
documents described in subsections (b)(iv), (v), and (vii) of Section 2.01, the
Trustee's and related Custodian's obligations shall extend only to the documents
actually delivered to the related Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In
accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct
or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee
or the related Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller
is unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee's or
related Custodian's notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within
two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase
Price, provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date
such breach was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates
solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security
Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the
originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the
applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such
Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy
promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing
Date.



                                       67

The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to
the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such
document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the related Custodian, as
its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of
the original recorded document.

         (c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in
accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the
Master Servicer the Repurchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer
Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Repurchase
Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection
Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the related Custodian, as
agent of the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit D attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to
the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or
warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller
title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to
have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is
received by the Trustee. The Trustee shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in a form agreed to
between the Depositor and the Trustee, to reflect such repurchase and shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies and the Master Servicer of such amendment.
The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a
defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

         Section 2.03 ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN THE MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE
AGREEMENT. (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor's rights and
obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has
retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and
covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof
and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to
substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee's
and the Certificateholders' sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request
of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to
enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may
reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.

         (b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee
discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects
the value of the interests of Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice
of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery
or


                                       68
<PAGE>



receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier),
shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall
purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from
the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation
set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired
with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the
Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase Price over the Net Liquidation
Proceeds received upon such sale. (If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the
Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not
required by law to be paid to the borrower.) Any such purchase by the Seller
shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Repurchase Price to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written
notification detailing the components of such Repurchase Price. The Depositor
shall notify the Trustee and submit to the related Custodian, as agent for the
Trustee, a Request for Release, and the related Custodian shall release, or the
Trustee shall cause the related Custodian to release, to the Seller the related
Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of
transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse,
representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and
rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto.
Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the
Repurchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Master
Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and
shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such amendment.
Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a
Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with
respect thereto (or pay the Repurchase Price as set forth in the above proviso)
as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee
on their behalf.

         Section 2.04 SUBSTITUTION OF MORTGAGE LOANS. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of
this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by
the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute
Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the
Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth
in the definition of "Substitute Mortgage Loan" in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that substitution
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the
termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided,
further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure
or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was
discovered. The related Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall examine the
Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in
Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, shall
notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether
or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the
requirements of the fourth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business
Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding
Principal



                                       69
<PAGE>



Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which
substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due
on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the
Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such
date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it
were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a
Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any
such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such
Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan
hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any
Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for
which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during
such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a
Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall
be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan
for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of
the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to
the related Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the
related Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release to the Seller the
related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as
applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or
assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to
it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04
of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the related
Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections
2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of
acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for
purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations
and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed
to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as
of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master
Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and
shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and
the Rating Agencies.

         Section 2.05 ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES.

         (a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans
and the other assets comprising the Trust Fund and, concurrently therewith, has
signed, and countersigned and delivered to the Depositor, in exchange therefor,
Certificates in such authorized denominations representing such Fractional
Undivided Interests as the Depositor has requested. The Trustee agrees that it
will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets as may from time to time be
delivered to it segregated on the books of the Trustee in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.

         (b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the
Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II




                                       70
<PAGE>



Regular Interests, REMIC III Regular Interests and the other assets of REMIC IV
for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC IV Interests. The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular
Interests and REMIC III Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the
other assets of REMIC IV and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC IV
Interests.

        (c) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the
Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the REMIC IV Regular Interests, and the other assets of REMIC V for the
benefit of the holders of the REMIC V Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the REMIC IV Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the
other assets of REMIC V and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC V
Certificates.

         Section 2.06 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE DEPOSITOR.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator as follows:

enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby;

                  (ii) the Depositor has full corporate power to own its

regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties
or the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, except those
conflicts, breaches or defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Depositor's ability to enter into this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

                  (iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby

                                  ARTICLE III

                         ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF
                                 MORTGAGE LOANS

         Section 3.01 MASTER SERVICER. The Master Servicer shall, from and after
the Closing Date, supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers
to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of the applicable Servicing Agreements and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with
Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and
evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer
by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such
Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
independently and separately monitor each Servicer's servicing activities with
respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring
with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and
coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers' and Master Servicer's
records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master
Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall
be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section
6.04, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded
by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the
results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the
Servicers to the Protected Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing
Agreements.

         The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with
any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary
or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and
administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property.

         The Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in
possession of the Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property
and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only
upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the
office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by
law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and
documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy
of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities
to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee's actual costs.

         The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the
Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale with
respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument;
(iii) obtain



                                       73
<PAGE>



a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or
remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise
available at law or equity.

         Section 3.02 REMIC-RELATED COVENANTS. For as long as each REMIC shall
exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance
herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the
Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing
treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of
all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an
Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed
to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than
with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any
REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the
Trustee .

         Section 3.03 MONITORING OF SERVICERS. (a) The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by
each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the
review of each Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an
officer's certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer
of the Servicer) with regard to such Servicer's compliance with the terms of its
Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment,
determines that a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo) should be terminated in
accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent
pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event
that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines
that Wells Fargo should be terminated in accordance with the Wells Fargo
Servicing Agreements, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Wells
Fargo Servicing Agreements with respect to the occurrence of an event that,
unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its
receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall
issue such notice of termination to Wells Fargo or take such other action as it
deems appropriate.

         (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the
related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer other than
Wells Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement
with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it
is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In the event that Wells Fargo
fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing
Agreements, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify
the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such
notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the



                                       74
<PAGE>



rights and obligations of Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreements
and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by
the Trustee; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties
hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before
the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor
Servicer. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer (or in the case Wells Fargo is
terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee) in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal
action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received
reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. In the
event that Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the
costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be
reimbursed for such costs from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute
or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have
received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such
action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to
assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of Wells Fargo or the Master
Servicer.

         (c) In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of
Wells Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or
remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without
limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Wells
Fargo as a result of an event of default by Wells Fargo and (ii) all costs and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all
servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by Wells
Fargo after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of
such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account (which the
Master Servicer hereby agrees to pay to the Trustee from the Master Servicer
Collection Account upon demand) or, to the extent not paid from such account,
the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such costs and expenses
from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs
and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer
(other than Wells Fargo), appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer
and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing
Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and
all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the
potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such
Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer
of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully
and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master



                                       75
<PAGE>



Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the
Master Servicer Collection Account.

         (d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the
remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing
Agreement.

         (e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer (other than
Wells Fargo), if any, that it replaces.

         Section 3.04 FIDELITY BOND. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall
maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance
policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees
and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors
and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder.
The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such
form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.

         Section 3.05 POWER TO ACT; PROCEDURES. The Master Servicer shall master
service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to
the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all
things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to
the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to
collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its
responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly
or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d)
of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but
not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated
action would not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of
attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and
to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage
Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master
Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its
duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted



                                       76
<PAGE>



Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse
of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the
Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws
of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the
name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the
"doing business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name,
the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a
co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee,
be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

         Section 3.06 DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS. To the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans
contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause
or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the
original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement.

         Section 3.07 RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES. (a) Upon becoming aware of the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a
notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date,
the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if
the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the related
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially
in the form of Exhibit D hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by
the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer
pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall
request that the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the
applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and
the Trustee and related Custodian shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is
authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

         (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the



                                       77
<PAGE>



Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The related Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and delivery to the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of
two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially
in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer),
release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall
obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the
related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the
Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be
released by the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or
the Master Servicer.

         Section 3.08 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF MASTER
SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR TRUSTEE.

         (a) Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent
required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or
related Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of
the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the
terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing
Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or related Custodian. Any funds
received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan
or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall
be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the
Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer
Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided
in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee
and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.

         (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master



                                       78
<PAGE>



Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from,
any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing
Agreement.

         Section 3.09 STANDARD HAZARD INSURANCE AND FLOOD INSURANCE POLICIES.

         (a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any
obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreements to maintain
or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance
shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the
applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property
acquired in respect of a defaulted 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.

         (b) Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the
Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the
Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do
so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such
cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the
distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the
Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

         Section 3.10 PRESENTMENT OF CLAIMS AND COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS. The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and
take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or
enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed
to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies,
bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection
Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to
the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition
precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the
insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or
remitted).

         Section 3.11 MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIMARY MORTGAGE INSURANCE POLICIES.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the
extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to
take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered



                                       79
<PAGE>



thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause
each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to
keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the
Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to
each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and
shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the
Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable.

         (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer
(to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections
4.02 and 4.03.

         Section 3.12 TRUSTEE TO RETAIN POSSESSION OF CERTAIN INSURANCE POLICIES
AND DOCUMENTS.

         The Trustee (or the related Custodian, as directed by the Trustee),
shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available)
of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if
applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued
from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts
distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and
the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this
Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee)
shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the
related Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt
thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, any
certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute
portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.

         Section 3.13 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

         Section 3.14 COMPENSATION FOR THE MASTER SERVICER.

         The Master Servicer will be entitled to all income and gain realized
from any investment of funds in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer
Collection Account, pursuant to Article IV, for the performance of its
activities hereunder. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if
any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including
any prepayment premium or penalty) shall be retained by the applicable Servicer
and shall not be deposited in the Protected Account. The Master Servicer shall
be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided
in this Agreement.

         Section 3.15 REO PROPERTY.

         (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property
in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell, any REO
Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to
its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the
applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and
to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with
the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net
income from foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the Protected Account.

         (c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final
disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Monthly Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with
the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed
Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid,
as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or
other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

         (d) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the
Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any
payment to the Master



                                       81
<PAGE>



Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the
Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following
receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Master Servicer Collection
Account on the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date.

         Section 3.16 ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2005, an
Officer's Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending
December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Servicing Officer has reviewed the
activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion
thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such
Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has
performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,
specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and
status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing
Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that any Servicer has failed
to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under its
Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there
has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such
duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to
such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof.

         (b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the
Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies
(unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with
such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's
failure to provide such statement).

         Section 3.17 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S SERVICING REPORT. If the
Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced any
of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a
nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to
furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Depositor on or
before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2005 to the effect that,
with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has examined
certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer's performance of
its servicing obligations under this Agreement and pooling and servicing and
trust agreements in material respects similar to this Agreement and to each
other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for Freddie Mac or the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the
opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been conducted in compliance
with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no material items of
noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be
immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and
(iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac requires it
to report. Copies of such



                                       82
<PAGE>



statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Master
Servicer, or by the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer if the Master
Servicer shall fail to provide such copies. If such report discloses exceptions
that are material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such
exceptions have been or are susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to
do so.

         Section 3.18 REPORTS FILED WITH SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall,
in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System ("EDGAR"), a Form 8-K with a copy
of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an
exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in any year, the Securities Administrator
shall, in accordance with industry standards and only if instructed by the
Depositor, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if
applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2005 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15
Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year
thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with
a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent
accountant's servicing report and annual statement of compliance of each
Servicer, in each case, required to be delivered pursuant to the related
Servicing Agreement, and, if applicable, the annual independent accountant's
servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.16 and 3.17. Prior to (i) March 31, 2005,
or such earlier filing date as may be required by the Commission, and (ii)
unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of
each year thereafter, or such earlier filing date as may be required by the
Commission, the Securities Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance
conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust. Such Form 10-K
shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided
by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor
hereby grants to the Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to
execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of
attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the
Securities Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to
promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon
request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its
control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Securities
Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary
reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
3.18; provided, however, the Securities Administrator will cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust
Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with this Section 3.18 shall not be reimbursable
from the Trust Fund.

         Section 3.19 [Reserved].

         Section 3.20 UCC. The Depositor shall inform the Trustee in writing of
any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on the Closing
Date in connection with the Trust with stamped recorded copies of such financing
statements to be delivered to the



                                       83
<PAGE>



Trustee promptly upon receipt by the Depositor. The Trustee agrees to monitor
and notify the Depositor if any continuation statements for such Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements need to be filed. If directed by the
Depositor in writing, the Trustee will file any such continuation statements
solely at the expense of the Depositor. The Depositor shall file any financing
statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform
Commercial Code.

         Section 3.21 OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS.

         (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a
Calendar Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO
Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided however (i) that
such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as
of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore
exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related
Calendar Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be
thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan
thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property,
in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of
the related Calendar Quarter.

         (b) If at any time the Company remits to the Master Servicer a payment
for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the
Repurchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Company provides to the
Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of
such payment has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, then
the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan to the Company at
the request of the Company without recourse, representation or warranty and the
Company shall succeed to all of the Trustee's right, title and interest in and
to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Company
will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of
any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    ACCOUNTS

         Section 4.01 PROTECTED ACCOUNTS. (a) The Master Servicer shall enforce
the obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected Account in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with
respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into which accounts
shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the
related Servicing Agreement) of receipt, all collections of principal and
interest on any Mortgage Loan and any REO Property received by a Servicer,
including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, and
advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less servicing compensation as
permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement in the case of any Servicer) and
all other amounts to be deposited in the Protected Account. The Servicer is
hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and deposits to the related Protected
Account for purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. To the extent
provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the Protected Account shall be held
by a Designated Depository Institution and segregated on the books of such
institution in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders.

         (b) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, amounts

provided in the preceding paragraph, not commingled with any other funds. Such
Permitted Investments shall mature, or shall be subject to redemption or
withdrawal, no later than the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account, and shall be
held until required for such deposit. The income earned from Permitted
Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be paid to the related
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, and the risk of loss of
moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such
investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The
related Servicer (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall
deposit the amount of any such loss in the Protected Account within two Business
Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second
Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are
required to be distributed to the Certificateholders.

         (c) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement and
subject to this Article IV, on or before each Servicer Remittance Date, the
related Servicer shall withdraw or shall cause to be withdrawn from its
Protected Accounts and shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the
Master Servicer Collection Account amounts representing the following
collections and payments (other than with respect to principal of or interest on
the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) with respect to each Loan
Group:

                  (i) Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Loans received or any
related portion thereof advanced by such Servicer pursuant to its Servicing
Agreement which were due on or before the related Due Date, net of the amount
thereof comprising its Servicing Fee or any fees with respect to any lender-paid
primary mortgage insurance policy;





                                       85
<PAGE>



                  (ii) Full Principal Prepayments and any Liquidation Proceeds
received by such Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related
Prepayment Period, with interest to the date of prepayment or liquidation, net
of the amount thereof comprising its Servicing Fee;

                  (iii) Partial Principal Prepayments received by such Servicer
for the Mortgage Loans in the related Prepayment Period; and

                  (iv) Any amount to be used as a Monthly Advance.

         (d) Withdrawals may be made from an Account only to make remittances as
provided in Section 4.01(c), 4.02 and 4.03; to reimburse the Master Servicer or
a Servicer for Monthly Advances which have been recovered by subsequent
collections from the related Mortgagor; to remove amounts deposited in error; to
remove fees, charges or other such amounts deposited on a temporary basis; or to
clear and terminate the account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01. As provided in Sections 4.01(a) and 4.02(b)
certain amounts otherwise due to the Servicers may be retained by them and need
not be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account.

         Section 4.02 MASTER SERVICER COLLECTION ACCOUNT. (a) The Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer Collection Account as a
segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer Collection Account
shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer will deposit in the Master
Servicer Collection Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received

         (b) All amounts deposited to the Master Servicer Collection Account
shall be held by the Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Master Servicer Collection

agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of (i) prepayment or late payment charges or assumption, tax service,
statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like
fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii),
(iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), and (x) need not be credited by the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account or the
Master Servicer Collection Account, as applicable. In the event that the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any
amount not required to be credited thereto, the Trustee, upon receipt of a
written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer,
shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.

         (c) The amount at any time credited to the Master Servicer Collection
Account may be invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as directed by
Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to
redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next
succeeding Distribution Account Deposit Date. Any and all investment earnings on
amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account from time to time
shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer from time
to time shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all
investment earnings from the Master Servicer Account. The risk of loss of moneys
required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such
investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Master Servicer
Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such
loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date
on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the
Certificateholders.

         Section 4.03 PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS FROM THE MASTER
SERVICER COLLECTION ACCOUNT. (a) The Master Servicer will, from time to time on
demand of a Servicer or the Securities Administrator, make or cause to be made
such withdrawals or transfers from the Master Servicer Collection Account as the
Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to this
Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer may clear and
terminate the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.01 and
remove amounts from time to time deposited in error.

         (b) On an ongoing basis, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the
Master Servicer Collection Account (i) any expenses, costs and liabilities
recoverable by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator
or the related Custodian pursuant to Sections 3.03, 7.04 and 9.05 and (ii) any
amounts payable to the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 3.14; provided
however, that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay from its own funds
any amounts which it is required to pay under Section 7.03(a).

         (c) In addition, on or before each Distribution Account Deposit Date,
the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account (or remit to the
Trustee for deposit therein) any Monthly Advances required to be made by the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

         (d) No later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on each Distribution Account
Deposit Date, the Master Servicer will transfer all Available Funds on deposit
in the Master Servicer Collection Account with respect to the related
Distribution Date to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account.

         Section 4.04 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. (a) The Trustee shall establish and
maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
the Distribution Account as a segregated trust account or accounts.

         (b) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by
the Trustee in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

         (c) The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the
Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Trustee and held by the Trustee in
trust in its Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds
deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all
claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Trustee or
the Master Servicer (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator
or receiver of the Trustee or the Master Servicer). The Distribution Account
shall be an Eligible Account. The amount at any time credited to the
Distribution Account shall be (i) held in cash and fully insured by the FDIC to
the maximum coverage provided thereby or (ii) invested in the name of the
Trustee, in such Permitted Investments as may be selected by the Master Servicer
or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as may be
selected by the Master Servicer, provided that time deposits of such depository
institutions would be a Permitted Investment. All Permitted Investments shall
mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held
until, the next succeeding Distribution Date if the obligor for such Permitted
Investment is the Trustee or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business
Day preceding such Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein
from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all
investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date. If
there is any loss on a Permitted Investment or demand deposit, the Master
Servicer shall remit the amount of the loss to the Trustee who shall deposit
such amount in the Distribution Account. With respect to the Distribution
Account and the funds deposited therein, the Master Servicer shall take such
action as may be necessary to ensure that the Certificateholders shall be
entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a
claim against the estate of the Trustee) as provided by 12 U.S.C. ss. 92a(e),
and applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable
comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts
received on a particular Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, the
Repurchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which
represent late payments or recoveries of the principal of or interest on such
Mortgage Loan respecting which such Monthly Advance was made;

                  (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds relating to a particular Mortgage

Insurance Proceeds relating to a particular Mortgage Loan for insured expenses

or such Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds from a particular Mortgage Loan for
Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for Liquidation
Expenses with respect to a Mortgage Loan to the extent that (i) any amounts with
respect to such Mortgage Loan were paid as Excess Liquidation Proceeds pursuant
to clause (viii) of this Subsection 4.05 (a) to the Master Servicer; and (ii)
such Liquidation Expenses were not included in the computation of such Excess
Liquidation Proceeds;

                  (iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for

Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such
advances were made;

                  (v) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any
Monthly Advance or advance, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with

                  (vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for expenses, costs and
liabilities incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Sections 3.03 and

                  (viii) to pay to the Master Servicer, as additional servicing
compensation, any Excess Liquidation Proceeds to the extent not retained by the
related Servicer;

                  (ix) to reimburse or pay any Servicer any such amounts as are
due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained
by or paid to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing
Agreement;

                  (x) to reimburse the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or

                  (xii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant

         (b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on
a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of accounting for any
reimbursement from the Distribution Account pursuant to subclauses (i) through
(iv) or with respect to any such amounts which would have been covered by such
subclauses had the amounts not been retained by the Master Servicer without
being deposited in the Distribution Account under Section 4.02(b).

         (c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the
Available Funds to the extent on deposit in the Distribution Account for each
Loan Group to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with distribution
instructions provided to it by the Securities Administrator no later than two
Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and determined by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with Section 6.01.

                                  CERTIFICATES

         Section 5.01 CERTIFICATES. (a) The Depository, the Depositor and the
Trustee have entered into a Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date
(the "Depository Agreement"). Except for the Residual Certificates, the Private
Certificates and the Individual Certificates and as provided in Subsection
5.01(b), the Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of
the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to a successor to the
Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on
the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by
the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository as representative of such Certificate Owners of the
respective Class of Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and
votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (v) the Trustee may rely
and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.

         The Residual Certificates and the Private Certificates are initially
Physical Certificates. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of
one or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become
Global Certificates, the Trustee and the Depositor will take such action as may
be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes
for trading if it may legally be so traded.

         All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of
brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's
normal procedures.

         (b) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall request that the Depository notify all
Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability
of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall issue the definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions
required under this section and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected
in relying on, such instructions.





                                       91

         In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option
request a definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner's Fractional
Undivided Interest in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such
request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of
the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant
with directions for the Trustee to exchange or cause the exchange of the
Certificate Owner's interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent
Fractional Undivided Interest in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt
by the Trustee of instructions from the Depository directing the Trustee to
effect such exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the
Class of Certificates and the Current Principal Amount being exchanged, the
Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered
holder of and delivery instructions for the definitive Certificate, and any
other information reasonably required by the Trustee), (i) the Trustee shall
instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant's account
by the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the definitive Certificate, (ii)
the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the
registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a definitive
Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner's Fractional Undivided Interest in
such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall execute and authenticate
a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the Current Principal
Amount of such Class of Certificates by the amount of the definitive
Certificates.

         (c) (i) REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular Interests
(designated below), which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are
hereby designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC I and have the principal
balances and accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth

such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group over (y) the Current Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates in the
related Certificate Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number
than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall
be distributed to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II
Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining principal to
REMIC II Regular Interest II-ZZZ. Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans
shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution
Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II
Regular Interest ending with the designation "B" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate

         (e) With respect to each Distribution Date, each Class of Certificates
(other than the Residuals Certificates) shall accrue interest during the related
Interest Accrual Period. With respect to each Distribution Date and each such
Class of Certificates, interest shall be calculated, on the basis of a 360-day
year comprised of twelve 30-day months, based upon the respective Pass-Through
Rate set forth, or determined as provided, above and the Current Principal
Amount (or Notional Amount in the case of the Interest Only Certificates) of
such Class applicable to such Distribution Date.

         (f) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in
Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3. On original issuance, the Trustee shall sign,
countersign and shall deliver them at the direction of the Depositor. Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates of any Class, the Trustee may sign
and countersign temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed or
typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates of such Class,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall sign and countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a like
aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations for such Class, of
definitive Certificates of the same Class. Until so exchanged, such temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as
definitive Certificates.

         (g) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be registered as a
single Certificate of such Class held by a nominee of the Depository or the DTC
Custodian, and beneficial interests will be held by investors through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of (i) in the
case of the Senior Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates), $1,000
and in each case increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, and (ii) in the case of
the Offered Subordinate Certificates, $25,000 and increments of $1.00 in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate of each such Class may be issued in a
different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding
Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such
Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and
countersign Physical Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that
shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The
Private Certificates shall be issued in certificated fully-registered form in
minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in
excess thereof, except that one Private Certificate of each Class may be issued
in a different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding
Private Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of
such Class on the Closing Date. The Residual Certificates shall each be issued
in certificated fully-registered form, each, in the denomination of $50. Each
Class of Global Certificates, if any, shall be issued in fully registered form.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and countersign (i) in the case
of each Class of Offered Certificates, the Certificate in the entire Current
Principal Amount of the respective Class and (ii) in the case of each Class of
Private Certificates, Individual Certificates all in an aggregate principal
amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of each such



                                      103

respective Class on the Closing Date. The Certificates referred to in clause (i)
and if at any time there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates
shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Depository or pursuant to the
Depository's instructions, shall be delivered by the Depositor on behalf of the
Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian. The Trustee shall sign the
Certificates by facsimile or manual signature and countersign them by manual
signature on behalf of the Trustee by one or more authorized signatories, each
of whom shall be Responsible Officers of the Trustee or its agent. A Certificate
bearing the manual and facsimile signatures of individuals who were the
authorized signatories of the Trustee or its agent at the time of issuance shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such positions prior to the delivery of such Certificate.

         (h) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
the manually executed countersignature of the Trustee or its agent, and such
countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All
Certificates issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their
countersignature.

         (i) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup" day of each
REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

         (j) For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a tax year
that is a calendar year and shall report income on an accrual basis.

         (k) The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause each REMIC to timely
elect to be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any
inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of any
Trust established hereby shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the
validity of such elections.

         (l) The following legend shall be placed on the Residual Certificates,
whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any
such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:

         THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
         BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER
         RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE

         OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS
         AMENDED, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES THE TRUSTEE
         WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ADDRESSED TO THE DEPOSITOR,

         THE PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES ON BEHALF OF SUCH PERSON WILL NOT
         RESULT IN OR CONSTITUTE A NONEXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION, IS
         PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WILL NOT GIVE RISE

         TO ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS ON THE PART OF THE DEPOSITOR,
         THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR OR THE
         TRUSTEE.

The following legend shall be placed upon the Private Certificates (other than
the Class I-B-4 Certificates), whether upon original issuance or upon issuance
of any other Certificate of any such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer
thereof:

         THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, OR ON
BEHALF OF, AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS
SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS
AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED,
UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE CERTIFIES OR REPRESENTS THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER AND
HOLDING OF A CERTIFICATE AND THE SERVICING, MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF THE
TRUST AND ITS ASSETS: (I) WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY PROHIBITED TRANSACTION WHICH IS
NOT COVERED UNDER AN INDIVIDUAL OR CLASS PROHIBITED TRANSACTION EXEMPTION,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROHIBITED TRANSACTION EXEMPTION ("PTE") 84-14,

ADMINISTRATOR, THE MASTER SERVICER OR THE TRUSTEE, WHICH WILL BE DEEMED
REPRESENTED BY AN OWNER OF A BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATE OR A GLOBAL CERTIFICATE OR
UNLESS THE OPINION SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5.07 OF THE AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED.

         Section 5.02 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES. (a)
The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

         (b) Subject to Subsection 5.01(a) and, in the case of any Global
Certificate or Physical Certificate upon the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee
shall sign, countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest, but bearing a different number.

         (c) By acceptance of an Individual Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Certificate acknowledges
the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth in the Securities
Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein. In addition to the provisions of Subsection 5.02(h), the following
restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of
transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the
form of an Individual Certificate:




                                      105
<PAGE>



                  (i) The Trustee shall register the transfer of an Individual
Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has
provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to
its QIB status.

                  (ii) The Trustee shall register the transfer of any Individual
Certificate if (x) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the
Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor; and
(y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment
Letter (and the Trustee shall be fully protected in so doing), provided that, if
based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the
delivery of (x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable laws, the Trustee shall as a condition of the registration of any
such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal
opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual
Certificate as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.

         (d) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), so long as a Global Certificate of
such Class is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository,
transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by
holders of Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take
delivery in the form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be
made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(d) and in accordance with the
rules of the Depository:

                  (i) In the case of a beneficial interest in the Global
Certificate being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, such
transferee shall be required to take delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate or Certificates and the Trustee shall register such transfer only
upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(ii).

                  (ii) In the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global
Certificates being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form
of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, except as set forth
in clause (i) above, the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon
compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(i).

                  (iii) In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class
being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Trustee shall
register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Trustee with a Rule
144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

                  (iv) No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer
or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate
of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial
interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such
transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties
contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is
a QIB.

         (e) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), an exchange of a beneficial interest
in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates
of such Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a
Class for a beneficial interest in the Global



                                      106
<PAGE>



Certificate of such Class and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or
Certificates of a Class for another Individual Certificate or Certificates of
such Class (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation
of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificate of such
Class, so long as such Certificate is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of
the Depository) may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(e) and
in accordance with the rules of the Depository:

                  (i) A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate
of a Class may at any time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual
Certificate or Certificates of such Class.

                  (ii) A holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of
a Class may exchange such Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest
in the Global Certificate of such Class if such holder furnishes to the Trustee
a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

                  (iii) A holder of an Individual Certificate of a Class may
exchange such Certificate for an equal aggregate principal amount of Individual
Certificates of such Class in different authorized denominations without any
certification.

         (f) (i) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual
Certificate of a Class for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such
Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall cancel such Individual Certificate
and shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed
to the applicable Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule
affixed to the Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in
its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such
exchange or transfer and an increase in the certificate balance of the Global
Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate
exchanged or transferred therefor.

                  (ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of
such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall (or shall request the
Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Certificate (or on
a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a
part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation
evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the
certificate balance of such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance
of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer
thereof.

         (g) The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Certificate
issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of
a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate.

         (h) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in
this Section 5.02, the holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or
exchange the same in whole or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal
to the minimum authorized denomination set forth in Section 5.01(g) above or any
integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such




                                      107
<PAGE>



Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer
agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer
satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee in the case of transfer and a
written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial
interest in a Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the
Depository, cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Trustee in
writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an
Individual Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer
or exchange, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days of such request made
at the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate
Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case
of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the
case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the
transferee or holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or
Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be
requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the
registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

         (i) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to
be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that no
Certificate may be exchanged for new Certificates unless the original Fractional
Undivided Interest represented by each such new Certificate (i) is at least
equal to the minimum authorized denomination or (ii) is acceptable to the
Depositor as indicated to the Trustee in writing. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall sign and countersign and the
Trustee shall deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

         (j) If the Trustee so requires, every Certificate presented or
surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, with a signature guarantee, in
form satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the holder thereof or his or
her attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

         (l) The Trustee shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for transfer
or exchange but shall retain such Certificates in accordance with its standard
retention policy or for such further time as is required by the record retention
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereafter
may destroy such Certificates.

         Section 5.03 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. (a) If
(i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as it may require to save it harmless, and (iii) the Trustee has not
received notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a third Person, the
Trustee shall sign, countersign and



                                      108
<PAGE>



deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Fractional Undivided
Interest but in each case bearing a different number. The mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate shall thereupon be canceled of record by the Trustee
and shall be of no further effect and evidence no rights.

         (b) Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03,
the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

         Section 5.04 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever. Neither the Depositor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Depositor or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No Certificate shall be
deemed duly presented for a transfer effective on any Record Date unless the
Certificate to be transferred is presented no later than the close of business
on the third Business Day preceding such Record Date.

         Section 5.05 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ON RESIDUAL CERTIFICATES. (a)
Residual Certificates, or interests therein, may not be transferred without the
prior express written consent of the Tax Matters Person and the Depositor. As a
prerequisite to such consent, the proposed transferee must provide the Tax
Matters Person, the Depositor and the Trustee with an affidavit that the
proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee (and an affidavit that it is a
U.S. Person) as provided in Subsection 5.05(b).

         (b) No transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate
(including a beneficial interest therein) may be made unless, prior to the
transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed
transferee (including the initial purchasers thereof) delivers to the Tax
Matters Person, the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E stating, among other things, that as of the date of such
transfer (i) such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that (ii) such
transferee is not acquiring such Residual Certificate for the account of any
person who is not a Permitted Transferee. The Tax Matters Person shall not
consent to a transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that
any statement made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is
not true. Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, such transfer, sale
or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Holder of a Residual
Certificate for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the
receipt of distributions thereon. If any purported transfer shall be in
violation of the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(b), then the prior Holder
thereof shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b), be restored to all rights as a
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported transfer. None of the
Trustee, the Tax Matters Person or the Depositor shall be under any liability to
any Person for any registration or transfer of a



                                      109
<PAGE>



Residual Certificate that is not permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b) or for
making payments due on such Residual Certificate to the purported Holder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such purported Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the written affidavit referred to above
was received with respect to such transfer, and the Tax Matters Person, the
Trustee and the Depositor, as applicable, had no knowledge that it was untrue.
The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a permitted transferee under this
Subsection 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such
Residual Certificate. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate, by acceptance
thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of
this Subsection 5.05(b) and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary
(whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Tax
Matters Person or the Depositor to ensure that the Residual Certificates are not
transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee and that any
transfer of such Residual Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

         (c) The Residual Certificates (including a beneficial interest therein)
may not be purchased by or transferred to any person who is not a United States
Person.

         (d) By accepting a Residual Certificate, the purchaser thereof agrees
to be a Tax Matters Person, and appoints the Securities Administrator to act as
its agent with respect to all matters concerning the tax obligations of the
Trust.

         Section 5.06 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF CERTIFICATES. (a) No
offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of any Certificate
shall be made by any Holder thereof unless registered under the Securities Act,
or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws is available and the prospective
transferee (other than the Depositor) of such Certificate signs and delivers to
the Trustee an Investment Letter, if the transferee is an Institutional
Accredited Investor, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-l hereto, or a Rule 144A
Certificate, if the transferee is a QIB, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-2
hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no
restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of
transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global
Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each
such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties
contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is
a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer of any Certificate to a transferee
other than a QIB, the Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee that such transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund.

         (b) The Private Certificates (other than the Class I-B-4 Certificates)
shall each bear a Securities Legend.

         Section 5.07 ERISA RESTRICTIONS. (a) Subject to the provisions of
subsection (b), no Residual Certificates may be acquired directly or indirectly
by, or on behalf of, or with the assets of an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA




                                      110
<PAGE>



or Section 4975 of the Code ("Plan"), unless the proposed transferee provides
either (i) the Trustee, with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
(upon which they may rely) which is satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion
will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
the Securities Administrator, that the purchase of such Certificates by or on
behalf of such Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not result in a
nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Depositor, Issuer, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, any servicers or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in the Agreement or (ii) in the case of the Class I-B-5, Class
I-B-6, , Class I-B-7, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5, Class II-B-6, Class III-B-4,
Class III-B-5 and Class III-B-6 Certificates, a representation or certification
to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee is authorized to rely) to the effect that
the proposed transfer and holding of such a Certificate and the servicing,
management and operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in a
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction
exemption including but not limited to Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 84-14 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions
Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset Managers); PTE 91-38
(Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Bank Collective Investment
Funds); PTE 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance
Company Pooled Separate Accounts), PTE 95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain
Transactions Involving Insurance Company General Accounts), and PTE 96-23 (Class
Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers and
(II) will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement.

         (b) Any Person acquiring an interest in a Global Certificate which is a
Private Certificate, by acquisition of such Certificate, shall be deemed to have
represented to the Trustee that in the case of the Class I-B-5, Class I-B-6,
Class I-B-7 Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5, Class II-B-6, Class III-B-4, Class
III-B-5 and Class III-B-6 Certificates, either: (i) it is not acquiring an
interest in such Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of a Plan,
or (ii) the transfer and holding of an interest in such Certificate to that
Person and the subsequent servicing, management and operation of the Trust and
its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not
covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption,
including, but not limited to, PTE 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE
96-23 and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement.

         (c) Each beneficial owner of a Class I-M-1, Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2,
Class I-B-3, Class I-B-4, Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2, Class II-B-3, Class
III-B-1, Class III-B-2 or Class III-B-3 Certificate or any interest therein
shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of
that certificate or interest therein (or, in the case of a Class I-B-4
Certificate, shall represent in the form of Exhibit F-1 or F-2, as applicable),
that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with "Plan Assets", (ii) it has
acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction
Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (the "Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its



                                      111
<PAGE>



equivalent) by S&P, Fitch or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and the
certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source
of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an
"insurance company general account," as such term is defined in Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

         (d) Neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Global Certificates. Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the
provisions of Subsections (a) or (b) above shall be void ab initio and such
Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior
permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of
such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. The
Trustee shall have no liability for transfer of any such Global Certificates in
or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer
restrictions set forth herein.

         Section 5.08 RULE 144A INFORMATION. For so long as any Certificates are
outstanding and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)
of the Securities Act, (1) the Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to
any holder of such Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated
by such a holder, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, the
information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by

                           Group III-1 Senior Certificates or Group III-2 Senior
                           Certificates, as applicable, in reduction of the
                           Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the

                           aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
                           Loans in its related Loan Group, and (ii) the Accrued
                           Certificate Interest otherwise allocable to the Group
                           III Subordinate Certificates on such Distribution
                           Date will be reduced, if necessary, and distributed
                           to the Group III-1 Senior Certificates or Group III-2
                           Senior Certificates, as applicable, in an amount
                           equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest for such

                           Certificate Interest on the Group III Subordinate
                           Certificates will be allocated in reverse order of
                           the Group III Subordinate Certificates' numerical
                           designations, commencing with the Class III-B-6
                           Certificates.

                           If, after distributions have been made pursuant to
                           priorities FIRST and SECOND of paragraph (A) and (B)
                           above on any Distribution Date, the remaining Group
                           III-1 Available Funds and Group III-2 Available Funds
                           are less than the Group III-1 or Group III-2 Senior
                           Optimal Principal Amount, respectively, the Senior
                           Optimal Principal Amount for such Loan Group shall be
                           reduced, and such remaining Available Funds will be



                                      123
<PAGE>



                           distributed among the related Senior Certificates, on
                           a pro rata basis, on the basis of such reduced
                           amount.

                           On each Distribution Date, any Available Funds
                           remaining after payment of interest and principal to
                           the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, as
                           described above, will be distributed to the Class R-V
                           Certificates; provided, that if on any Distribution
                           Date there are any Group III-1 Available Funds or
                           Group III-2 Available Funds remaining after payment
                           of interest and principal to a Class of Certificates
                           entitled thereto, such amounts will be distributed to
                           the other Class of Group III Senior Certificates,
                           until all amounts due to all Classes of Group III
                           Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before
                           any amounts are distributed to the Class R-V
                           Certificates. It is not anticipated that there will
                           be any significant amounts remaining for such
                           distribution.

         (b) "Pro rata" distributions among Classes of Certificates will be made
in proportion to the then Current Principal Amount of such Classes.

         (c) No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any
Class of Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal
Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.

         (d) If on any Distribution Date the Available Funds for the Senior
Certificates in any Certificate Group is less than the Accrued Certificate
Interest on the related Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date prior to
reduction for Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized
Losses, the shortfall will be allocated among the holders of each Class of
Senior Certificates in such Certificate Group in proportion to the respective
amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto
in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such
Distribution Date. In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls will
constitute unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest and will be distributable to
holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on
subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available Funds
after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so
carried forward will not bear interest. Shortfalls in interest payments will not
be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Master Servicer or
otherwise, except to the extent of applicable Compensating Interest Payments.

         (e) The expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid by each of the
REMICs, to the extent that such expenses relate to the assets of each of such
respective REMICs, and all other expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid
pro rata by each of the REMICs.

         (f) On the first Distribution Date, (i) an amount equal to $100 will be
deemed distributed from Group I-1 Available Funds to the holder of the Class R-I
Certificate, (ii) the holder of the Class R-I Certificate will be deemed to
contribute $50 to REMIC II and such amount will be included Group II-2 Available
Funds and distributed to the Class R-II Certificate pursuant to Section
6.01(ii)(B) and (iii) the holder of the Class R-I Certificate will be deemed to



                                      124
<PAGE>



contribute $50 to REMIC III and such amount will be included Group III-1
Available Funds and distributed to the Class R-III Certificate pursuant to
Section 6..01(iii)(A).

         Section 6.02 ALLOCATION OF LOSSES. (a) On or prior to each
Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any
Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the
immediately preceding calendar month, based on information provided by the
related Servicer.

         (b) With respect to any Group I Certificates (other than the Interest
Only Certificates) on any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each
Realized Loss on a Group I Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows:

                  first, to the Class I-B-7 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  second, to the Class I-B-6 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  third, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  fourth, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  fifth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  sixth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  seventh, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  eighth, to the Class I-M-1 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

         Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group I-1,
Group I-2, Group I-3, Group I-4 and Group I-5 Mortgage Loans will be allocated
on any Distribution Date to the Class or Classes of Senior Certificates (other
than the Interest Only Certificates) and any Class R Certificates of the related
Certificate Group, pro rata, based upon their respective Current Principal
Amounts; provided, that the principal portion of Realized Losses allocable to
the Class I-2-A-1 Certificates on a Distribution Date will first be allocated to
the Class I-2-A-2 Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of such Class
has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class, I-2-A-1 Certificates, until the
Current Principal Amount there has been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
Loan Group I-2 otherwise allocable to the Class I-2-A-5 Certificates will be
allocated first to the Class I-2-A-6 Certificates, until the Current Principal
Amount of that Class is reduced to




                                      125
<PAGE>



zero, and then to the Class I-2-A-5 Certificates, until the Current Principal
Amount of that Class is reduced to zero. Once the Group I-1, Group I-2, Group
I-3, Group I-4 or Group I-5 Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero, the
principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group (if any) will be allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining Group I
Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups (other than the Interest
Only Certificates).

         (c) With respect to any Group II Certificates on any Distribution Date,
the principal portion of each Realized Loss on a Group II Mortgage Loan shall be
allocated as follows:

                  first, to the Class II-B-6 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  second, to the Class II-B-5 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  third, to the Class II-B-4 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  fourth, to the Class II-B-3 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  fifth, to the Class II-B-2 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  sixth, to the Class II-B-1 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

         Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group II
Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class or
Classes of Senior Certificates and any Class R Certificates of the related
Certificate Group, pro rata, based upon their respective Current Principal
Amounts. Once the Group II Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero, the
principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group (if any) will be allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining Group II
Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups.

         (d) With respect to any Group III Certificates on any Distribution
Date, the principal portion of each Realized Loss on a Group III Mortgage Loan
shall be allocated as follows:

                  first, to the Class III-B-6 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  second, to the Class III-B-5 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  third, to the Class III-B-4 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;



                                      126
<PAGE>


                  fourth, to the Class III-B-3 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  fifth, to the Class III-B-2 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  sixth, to the Class III-B-1 Certificates, until the Current
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

         Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group III
Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class or
Classes of Senior Certificates and any Class R Certificates of the related
Certificate Group, pro rata, based upon their respective Current Principal
Amounts. Once the Group III Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero, the
principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group (if any) will be allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining Group III
Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups.

         (e) Notwithstanding (x) the foregoing clause (b), no such allocation of
any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Group I
Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of
the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group I Certificates as of
such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior
allocations of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans on such date, to an
amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Group I
Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such
limitation, the "Group I Loss Allocation Limitation"), (y) the foregoing clause
(c), no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution
Date to any Class of Group II Certificates to the extent that such allocation
would result in the reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all
the Group II Certificates as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to
all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Group II
Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of all of the Group II Mortgage Loans as of the first day of
the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the "Group II Loss
Allocation Limitation"), and (z) the foregoing clause (d), no such allocation of
any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Group III
Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of
the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group III Certificates as of
such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior
allocations of Realized Losses on the Group III Mortgage Loans on such date, to
an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the
Group III Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution
Date (such limitation, the "Group III Loss Allocation Limitation").

         (f) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be
allocated among the Certificates of such Class (other than the Interest Only
Certificates) in proportion to their respective Current Principal Amounts. Any
allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Current
Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related Distribution Date.




                                      127
<PAGE>



         (g) Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the
month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of
the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such
Distribution Date.

         (h) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
determine and notify the Trustee of the Group I Subordinate Certificate
Writedown Amount, the Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount and the
Group III Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. Any Group I Subordinate
Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the
Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, the
Current Principal Amounts of the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in the
reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after the
Group I Cross-Over Date, the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the
Interest Only Certificates) and the Class R-I, R-IV and R-V Certificates in
accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall
occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on
such Distribution Date. Any Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount
shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if
prior to the Group II Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the
Group II Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class
designations and (ii) from and after the Group II Cross-Over Date, the Group II
Senior Certificates and the Class R-II Certificates in accordance with
priorities set forth in clause (c) above, which reduction shall occur on such
Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution
Date. Any Group III Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a
corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the
Group III Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the Group III
Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class
designations and (ii) from and after the Group III Cross-Over Date, the Group
III Senior Certificates and the Class R-III Certificates in accordance with
priorities set forth in clause (d) above, which reduction shall occur on such
Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution
Date.

         (i) Any Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of
Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in proportion to the
respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been
allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date. The interest portion of any Realized Losses with respect to
the Group I Mortgage Loans, Group II Mortgage Loans or Group III Mortgage Loans
occurring on or prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, Group II Cross-Over Date
or Group III Cross-Over Date, respectively, will not be allocated among any
Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Group I Available Funds, Group II
Available Funds or Group III Available Funds, respectively, on the related
Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Group I Subordinate
Certificates, Group II Subordinate Certificates and Group III Subordinate
Certificates in right of distribution, such Realized Losses on the Group I
Mortgage Loans, Group II Mortgage Loans and Group III Mortgage Loans will be
borne by the Group I Subordinate Certificates, Group II Subordinate Certificates
and Group III Subordinate Certificates, respectively, in inverse order of their
numerical Class designations. Following the Group I Cross-Over Date, the
interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be
allocated to the Group I Senior Certificates in the manner described in the
first sentence of this clause (i). Following the Group II Cross-Over Date, the
interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans will




                                      128
<PAGE>



be allocated to the Group II Senior Certificates in the manner described in the
first sentence of this clause (i). Following the Group III Cross-Over Date, the
interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans will be
allocated to the Group III Senior Certificates in the manner described in the
first sentence of this clause (i).

         Section 6.03 PAYMENTS. (a) On each Distribution Date, other than the
final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder
of record as of the immediately preceding Record Date the Certificateholder's
pro rata share of its Class (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest represented by such Holder's Certificates) of all amounts required to
be distributed on such Distribution Date to such Class, based on information
provided to the Trustee by the Securities Administrator. The Securities
Administrator shall calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and,
based on such amounts, the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount
to be distributed to each Certificateholder. All of the Securities
Administrator's calculations of payments shall be based solely on information
provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer. Neither the
Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to confirm, verify or
recompute any such information but shall be entitled to rely conclusively on
such information.

         (b) Payment of the above amounts to each Certificateholder shall be
made (i) by check mailed to each Certificateholder entitled thereto at the
address appearing in the Certificate Register or (ii) upon receipt by the
Trustee on or before the fifth Business Day preceding the Record Date of written
instructions from a Certificateholder by wire transfer to a United States dollar
account maintained by the payee at any United States depository institution with
appropriate facilities for receiving such a wire transfer; provided, however,
that the final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates will be made
only upon presentation and surrender of such respective Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of
such final payment.

         Section 6.04 STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) Concurrently with
each distribution to Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall make
available to the parties hereto and each Certificateholder via the Securities
Administrator's internet website as set forth below, the following information,
expressed with respect to clauses (i) through (vii) in the aggregate and as a
Fractional Undivided Interest representing an initial Current Principal Amount
of $1,000, or in the case of the Residual Certificates, an initial Current
Principal Amount of $50:

                  (i) the Current Principal Amount or Notional Amount of each
Class of Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date;

                  (ii) the amount of the distribution allocable to principal on

         (b) By April 30 of each year beginning in 2005, the Trustee will
furnish such report to each Holder of the Certificates of record at any time
during the prior calendar year as to the aggregate of amounts reported pursuant
to subclauses (a)(ii) and (a)(v) above with respect to the Certificates, plus
information with respect to the amount of servicing compensation and such other
customary information as the Securities Administrator may determine and advises
the Trustee to be necessary and/or to be required by the Internal Revenue
Service or by a federal or state law or rules or regulations to enable such
Holders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligations
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator or the
Trustee pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

         Section 6.05 MONTHLY ADVANCES. If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage
Loan that was due on a related Due Date is delinquent other than as a result of
application of the Relief Act and for which the related Servicer was required to
make an advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount
deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for an
advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in
the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account
Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal
to such deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to
the extent the Master Servicer determines any such advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
continue to make such advances through the date that the related Servicer is
required to do so under its Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer deems an
advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, on the Distribution Account Deposit
Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee
(i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a
stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance.

         Section 6.06 COMPENSATING INTEREST PAYMENTS. The Master Servicer shall
deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than each
Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum
of the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicers under the
Servicing Agreements with respect to subclauses (a) and (b) of the definition of
Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date, and not so paid by the related Servicers and (ii) the Master
Servicer Compensation for such Distribution Date (such amount, the "Compensating
Interest Payment"). The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement of any Compensating Interest Payment.

                               THE MASTER SERVICER

         Section 7.01 LIABILITIES 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 it herein.

         Section 7.02 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE MASTER SERVICER.

         (a) The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of
its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business
as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under
this Agreement.

         (b) Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person 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 further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

         Section 7.03 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE TRUSTEE, THE MASTER SERVICER AND
THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR. (a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of,
or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened
claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Servicing Agreements, the
Assignment Agreements or the Certificates or the powers of attorney delivered by
the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform
its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii)
incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with
respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or
legal action), the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer and the
Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have with
respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer's
failure to receive any such notice shall not affect the Trustee's right to
indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Master Servicer is
materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.

         (b) The Depositor will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss,
liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise covered by the
Master Servicer's indemnification pursuant to Subsection (a) above.

         Section 7.04 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND
OTHERS. Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the
Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:

         (a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for
taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against
any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

         (b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, 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.

         (c) The Master Servicer, the related Custodian and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the related Custodian, and
the Trustee, to the extent it becomes a party to the Wells Fargo Servicing
Agreements pursuant to Section 3.03, and any officer, director, employee or
agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless
thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees
and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in
connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this
Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement (except to the extent
that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, is indemnified by
the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense
related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance
with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the related
Custodian's failure to perform its duties under the applicable Custodial
Agreement, respectively, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of the Master Servicer's or the related Custodian's willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under
the applicable Custodial Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the applicable Custodial
Agreement, as applicable.

         (d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under
this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with
the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect
to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection
Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall
affect the Master




                                      134
<PAGE>



Servicer's obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to
ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Subsection 3.01(a).

         (e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this
Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations
concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such
course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but
shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.

         (f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions
of any Servicer, with the exception of Wells Fargo, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein.

         Section 7.05 MASTER SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Except as provided in
Section 7.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such
impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until
the Company or the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The
Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master
Servicer.

         Section 7.06 SUCCESSOR MASTER SERVICER. In connection with the
appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of
the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the
Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Trustee and such successor master servicer
shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market
value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two
quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing
of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation
payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had
continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.

         Section 7.07 SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF MASTER SERVICING. The Master
Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations
in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the Company may
terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master Servicer;
provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such
assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth
of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency
pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute
and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, 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 it as master servicer under this Agreement, any
custodial agreement from and after



                                       135
<PAGE>



the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given
prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master
Servicer and each Rating Agency's rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be
downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and
delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the
master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an
Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee, each stating that all
conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and
such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement; and
(iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by the
Company, the Company shall pay the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee
equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to
the successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

                                     DEFAULT

         Section 8.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and
only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:

                  (i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this
Agreement (other than a Monthly Advance), and such failure continues unremedied
for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Master Servicer; or

                  (ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any
material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues unremedied
for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders
of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of the Trust Fund; or

                  (iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or
order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 is unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the
Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and
the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case;
or

                  (iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;

                  (v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or
rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07; or





                                      137
<PAGE>



                  (vi) The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be
deposited, in the Distribution Account any Monthly Advance (other than a
Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Distribution
Account Deposit Date.

In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to
the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund, by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Certificateholders),
with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of the Company, may
terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the
REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the
receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related
agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the
Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 8.02,
automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the
Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies
of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to
enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. In addition to any
other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its
activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any
amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that
portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under
this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any
obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 8.01 shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as
a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Monthly Advances and other advances
of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry
out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any
Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be
prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.

         Section 8.02 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) Upon the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section
8.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7.05 to the effect
that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a
Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the
successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the
terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall have the
right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b)
select a successor Master Servicer; provided further, however, that the Trustee
shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than
advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the Master
Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, but
subject to Section 7.06, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as
reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or
expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act,
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or
Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master
Servicer only, 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 the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that
the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result
of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply, the
compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that
such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Trustee to pay
compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in
the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

         (b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer
respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate
capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor
to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such
provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee);
the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as
successor master servicer.

         Section 8.03 NOTIFICATION TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Upon any termination
or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to



                                      139
<PAGE>



Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to the Rating Agencies.

         Section 8.04 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall transmit by mail to
all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance
of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in
the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the
Certificates, which default may only be waived by Holders of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating 100% of the Trust Fund.
Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such
waiver to the Rating Agencies.

         Section 8.05 LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Upon written request of three
or more Certificateholders of record, for purposes of communicating with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the
Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the
most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE IX

             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THESECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

         Section 9.01 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee, prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events
of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each
undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator, respectively. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not
been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and subject to Section 8.02(b) use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

         (b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically
required to be furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator, respectively, shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee
nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document,
order or other instrument furnished hereunder; provided, further, that neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the
accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this
Agreement.

         (c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly
distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in
the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 6.01 and 10.01 herein based
solely on the report of the Securities Administrator.

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

                  (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after
the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the
performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement;

                  (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or




                                      141
<PAGE>



Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer of the Securities
Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;

                  (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than
25% of the Trust Fund, if such action or non-action relates to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other
power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively,
under this Agreement;

                  (iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office shall have actual
knowledge thereof. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively
assume there is no such default or Event of Default;

                  (v) The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of
any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee's gross
negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency
(except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);

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

                  (vii) None of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the
Company or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the
other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render
them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another and

                  (viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, except during
such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with
the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.





                                      142

         (e) All funds received by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and
required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or
Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly so deposited by
the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

         (f) Except for those actions that the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator is required to take hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to take any
action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder in the absence of written
direction as provided hereunder.

         Section 9.02 CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

                  (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any
resolution, certificate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or a Servicer,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;

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

                  (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in
it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to this
Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs;

                  (iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder
and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its
individual capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                  (v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent,



                                      143
<PAGE>



order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to
do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund and provided that the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably assured to the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may
require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall
be paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

                  (vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the
Trustee may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial functions with
respect to the Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under this Agreement
without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of
any of the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's agents or attorneys or a
custodian or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master
Servicer;

                  (vii) Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem
the nature of any action required on its part, other than a payment or transfer
under Subsection 4.01(b) or Section 4.02, to be unclear, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, may require prior to such action that it
be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions;

                  (viii) The right of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be accountable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act;

                  (ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of
the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in
Subsection 9.07; and

                  (x) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of
any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as
applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this
Agreement.

         Section 9.03 TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR NOT LIABLE FOR
CERTIFICATES OR MORTGAGE LOANS. The recitals contained herein and in the
Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on
the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither
the Trustee, or the related Custodian on its behalf, nor the Securities





                                      144
<PAGE>



Administrator shall have any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.05 hereof; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the related
Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant
to Sections 2.02 and 2.04. The Trustee's signature and countersignature (or
countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its
capacity as Trustee and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of
the Trustee in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, neither the Trustee
nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the legality or
validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this
Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement
hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection
or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended
to be issued hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to
the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan,
or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or
continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect
or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it
hereunder or to record this Agreement.

         Section 9.04 TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or in
any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of
any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the
parties hereto.

         Section 9.05 TRUSTEE'S AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR'S FEES AND
EXPENSES. The fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall be paid in accordance with a side letter agreement between the Trustee and
the Master Servicer. In addition, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
will be entitled to recover from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant
to Section 4.03(b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and
advances and the expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
respectively, in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this
Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened
claim or legal action) incurred or made by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, in the administration of the trusts hereunder
(including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its
counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the
Certificateholders. If funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account are
insufficient therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall
recover such expenses from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay
such expenses, disbursement or



                                      145
<PAGE>



advances upon demand. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust.

         Section 9.06 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR. The Trustee and any successor Trustee and the Securities
Administrator and any successor Securities Administrator shall during the entire
duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of such state or
the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at
least $40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of
the Trustee, rated "BBB" or higher by S&P with respect to their long-term rating
and rated "BBB" or higher by S&P and "Baa2" or higher by Moody's with respect to
any outstanding long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a
successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator other than pursuant to
Section 9.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories of, or
otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies. If the Trustee publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 9.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 9.08.

         Section 9.07 INSURANCE. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
at their own expense, shall at all times maintain and keep in full force and
effect: (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft of documents insurance and (iii)
forgery insurance (which may be collectively satisfied by a "Financial
Institution Bond" and/or a "Bankers' Blanket Bond"). All such insurance shall be
in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary
for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act as
custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools. A certificate of an officer of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator as to the Trustee's or the Securities
Administrator's, respectively, compliance with this Section 9.07 shall be
furnished to any Certificateholder upon reasonable written request.

         Section 9.08 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR. (a) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time
resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating
Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as
applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator,
as applicable, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.
If no successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall have been so appointed
and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator.




                                      146
<PAGE>



         (b) If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or if at any time
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor shall
promptly remove the Trustee, or shall be entitled to remove the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to each of the Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, so removed, the successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable.

         (c) The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may at any time remove
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator by written instrument or instruments, in quadruplicate,
signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator (if the Trustee is removed), the Trustee
(if the Securities Administrator is removed), and the Trustee or Securities
Administrator so removed and the successor so appointed. In the event that the
Trustee or Securities Administrator is removed by the Holders of Certificates in
accordance with this Section 9.08(c), the Holders of such Certificates shall be
responsible for paying any compensation payable to a successor Trustee or
successor Securities Administrator, in excess of the amount paid to the
predecessor Trustee or predecessor Securities Administrator, as applicable.

         (d) No resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective
except upon appointment of and acceptance of such appointment by the successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator as provided in Section 9.09.

         Section 9.09 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE AND SUCCESSOR SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR.
(a) Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as provided in
Section 9.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its
predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall then become effective and such successor Trustee
or Securities Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or
Securities Administrator herein. The predecessor Trustee or Securities
Administrator shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly
deliver to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all
assets and records of the Trust held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the
predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall execute
and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations.

         (b) No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 9.09 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 9.06.

         (c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or
Securities Administrator hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies. The Company
shall pay the cost of any mailing by the successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator.

         Section 9.10 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE OR SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR. Any state bank or trust company or national banking association
into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state bank or trust
company or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or national
banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively,
shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or national
banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06. Such
succession shall be valid without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.

         Section 9.11 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
Trust or property constituting the same may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee and the Depositor to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,




                                      148
<PAGE>



of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the
other provisions of this Section 9.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

         (b) If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within
15 days after the receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Trustee shall
have the power to make such appointment without the Depositor.

         (c) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06
hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08
hereof.

         (d) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such
co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

         (f) To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or
co-trustee may, at any time, request the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact,
with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or

         Section 9.12 FEDERAL INFORMATION RETURNS AND REPORTS TO
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS; REMIC ADMINISTRATION. (a) For federal income tax purposes,
the taxable year of each REMIC shall be a calendar year, and the Securities
Administrator shall maintain or cause the maintenance of the books of each such
REMIC on the accrual method of accounting.

         (b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be
filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and the Trustee shall sign, Federal tax
information returns or elections required to be made hereunder with respect to
each REMIC, the Trust Fund, if applicable, and the Certificates containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of
Certificates at any time during the calendar year for which such returns or
reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner
as may be required thereby, including, without limitation, reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using a
constant prepayment assumption of 25% CPR). The Securities Administrator will
apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service
under Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities. In
connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall timely prepare
and file, and the Trustee shall sign, Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, which
shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain
information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in each
REMIC (the "REMIC Reporting Agent"). The Trustee shall make elections to treat
each REMIC as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the taxable period ending
December 31, 2004 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code
or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe, and as described by the
Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns
filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the
Code. The Holder of the Class R-I Certificate is hereby designated as the "Tax
Matters Person" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. ss.1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC I,
the Holder of the Class R-II Certificate is hereby designated as the "Tax
Matters Person" for REMIC II, the Holder of the Class R-III Certificate is
hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Person" for REMIC III, the Holder of the
Class R-IV Certificate is hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Person" for
REMIC IV and the Holder of the Class R-V Certificate is hereby designated as the
"Tax Matters Person" for REMIC V. The Securities Administrator is hereby
designated and appointed as the agent of each such Tax Matters Person. Any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the
Securities Administrator as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting
as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC during such time as the Securities
Administrator does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the
Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or
information returns or other statements, or the Securities Administrator from
acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is
necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision
of a Tax Matters Person, including designation of the Holder of a Residual
Certificate to sign such returns or act as Tax Matters Person. Each Holder of a
Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.

         (c) The Securities Administrator shall provide upon request and receipt
of reasonable compensation, such information as required in Section
860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal Revenue Service, to any Person
purporting to transfer a Residual Certificate to a Person other than a
transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b), and to any regulated investment
company, real



                                      150

estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate,
organization described in Section 1381 of the Code, or nominee holding an
interest in a pass-through entity described in Section 860E(e)(6) of the Code,
any record holder of which is not a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b) (or
which is deemed by statute to be an entity with a disqualified member).

         (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be
filed, and the Trustee shall sign, any state income tax returns required under
Applicable State Law with respect to each REMIC or the Trust Fund.

         (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original
issue discount on the Mortgage Loans, that the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator withholds any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall, together with its monthly report to such
Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.

         (f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator agree to indemnify the
Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants and the Securities Administrator's covenants, respectively,
set forth in this Section 9.12; provided, however, such liability and obligation
to indemnify in this paragraph shall not be joint and several and neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or be obligated to
indemnify the Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty under
this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this Agreement.

         Section 10.01 TERMINATION UPON REPURCHASE BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ITS
DESIGNEE OR LIQUIDATION OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

         (a) Subject to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator created hereby, other than the obligation of the

                  (i) the repurchase by or at the direction of the Depositor or
its designee of all of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group and all related REO
Property remaining in the Trust relating to the such Loan Group at a price (in
each case, the "Termination Purchase Price") equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan in such Loan Group (other
than a Mortgage Loan related to REO Property) as of the date of repurchase, net
of the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances on the Mortgage
Loans in such Loan Group made by the purchaser, together with interest at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued but unpaid to, but not including, the
first day of the month of repurchase, (b) the appraised value of any related REO
Property in such Loan Group, less the good faith estimate of the Depositor of
liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof (but
not more than the Outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
together with interest at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued on that
balance but unpaid to, but not including, the first day of the month of
repurchase), such appraisal to be calculated by an appraiser mutually agreed
upon by the Depositor and the Trustee at the expense of the Depositor, (c)
unreimbursed out-of pocket costs of the Master Servicer, including unreimbursed
servicing advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly
Advances, made on the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group prior to the exercise of
such repurchase right and (d) any unreimbursed costs and expenses of the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator payable pursuant to Section 9.05; or

                  (ii) the later of the making of the final payment or other
liquidation, or any advance with respect thereto, of the last Mortgage Loan in
such Loan Group, remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property
acquired with respect to any Mortgage Loan in such Loan Group; provided,
however, that in the event that an advance has been made, but not yet recovered,
at the time of such termination, the Person having made such advance shall be
entitled to receive, notwithstanding such termination, any payments received
subsequent thereto with respect to which such advance was made; or

                  (iii) the payment to the Certificateholders of the related
Certificate Group of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this
Agreement.

         (b) In no event, however, shall the Trust created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Joseph P.

the assets of the Trust Fund relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans, as
described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is conditioned upon the date of such
purchase occurring after the Group I Optional Termination Date. The Depositor or
its designee may repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund relating to the
Group I Mortgage Loans if the Depositor, based upon an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, has
determined that the REMIC status of REMIC I has been lost or that a substantial
risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable
year.

                  (ii) The right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase
all the assets of the Trust Fund relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans

Depositor or its designee may repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund
relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans if the Depositor, based upon an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator, has determined that the REMIC status of REMIC II has been lost or
that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the
then-current taxable year.

                  (iii) The right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase
all the assets of the Trust Fund relating to the Group III Mortgage Loans
described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is conditioned upon the date of such
purchase occurring on or after the Group III Optional Termination Date. The
Depositor or its designee may repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund
relating to the Group III Mortgage Loans if the Depositor, based upon an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator, has determined that the REMIC status of REMIC III has been lost
or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the
then-current taxable year. (iv) At any time thereafter, in the case of a
repurchase as described in this Subsection 10.01(c), the Depositor may elect to
terminate REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V at any time, and
upon such election, the Depositor or its designee, shall repurchase all the
assets of the Trust Fund described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above.

         (d) The Trustee shall give notice of any termination to the
Certificateholders, with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Rating Agencies, upon which the Certificateholders shall
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation. Such notice shall be given by letter, mailed not
earlier than the l5th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution, and shall specify (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein specified.

         (e) If the option of the Depositor to repurchase or cause the
repurchase of all the assets in the Trust Fund relating to either Loan Group I,
Loan Group II or Loan Group III, as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above,
is exercised, the Depositor and/or its designee shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account, by the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Termination Purchase Price for the
Mortgage Loans being purchased by it and all property acquired with respect to
such Mortgage Loans being purchased by it and all property acquired with respect
to such Mortgage Loans remaining in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as
applicable. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates in the related
Certificate Group by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to
such Certificateholders as directed by the Securities Administrator in writing
an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Certificate (other than
the Interest Only Certificates and the Class R Certificates), the outstanding
Current Principal Amount, plus with respect to each Certificate (other than the
Class R Certificates), one month's interest thereon at the applicable
Pass-Through Rate; and with respect to the Class R Certificates, the percentage
interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the
above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to
the Holders of the Certificates in such Certificate Group (other than the Class
R Certificates). If the proceeds with respect to the Group I-1 Mortgage Loans
are not sufficient to pay all of the Group I-1 Senior Certificates in full, any
such deficiency will be allocated first, to the Group I Subordinate
Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designation and then to the
Group I-1 Senior Certificates. If the proceeds with respect to the Group I-2
Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the Group I-2 Senior

I Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designation and
then to the Group I-2 Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. If the proceeds
with respect to the Group I-3 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of
the Group I-3 Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will be allocated
first, to the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their
numerical designation and then to the Group I-3 Senior Certificates. If the
proceeds with respect to the Group I-4 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay
all of the Group I-4 Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will be
allocated first, to the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of
their numerical designation and then to the Group I-4 Senior Certificates. If
the proceeds with respect to the Group I-5 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to
pay all of the Group I-5 Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will
be allocated first, to the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of
their numerical designation and then to the Group I-5 Senior Certificates. If
the proceeds with respect to the Group II-1 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to
pay all of the Group II-1 Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will
be allocated first, to the Group II Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order
of their numerical designation and then to the Group II-1 Senior Certificates on
a pro rata basis. If the proceeds with respect to the Group II-2 Mortgage Loans
are not sufficient to pay all of the Group II-2 Senior Certificates in full, any
such deficiency will be allocated first, to the Group II Subordinate
Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designation and then to the
Group II-2 Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. If the proceeds with respect
to the Group II-3 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the Group II-3
Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will be allocated first, to the
Group II Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical
designation and then to the Group II-3 Senior Certificates. If the proceeds with
respect to the Group III-1 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the
Group III-1 Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency will be allocated
first, to the Group III Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their
numerical designation and then to the Group III-1 Senior Certificates. If the
proceeds with respect to the Group III-2 Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to
pay all of the Group III-2 Senior Certificates in




                                      154
<PAGE>



full, any such deficiency will be allocated first, to the Group III Subordinate
Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designation and then to the
Group III-2 Senior Certificates. Upon deposit of the Termination Purchase Price
and following such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly
to the Depositor and/or its designee the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans of the related Loan Group, and the Accounts as they relate to
such Loan Group shall terminate, subject to the Trustee's obligation to hold any
amounts payable to the Certificateholders in trust without interest pending
final distributions pursuant to Subsection 10.01(g). Any other amounts remaining
in the Accounts will belong to the Depositor.

         (f) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by reason of the
payment or liquidation of all Mortgage Loans or the disposition of all property
acquired with respect to all Mortgage Loans under Subsection 10.01(a)(ii) above,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account all distributable amounts remaining in the Master Servicer Collection
Account. Upon the presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall distribute to the remaining Certificateholders, pursuant to the written
direction of the Securities Administrator and in accordance with their
respective interests, all distributable amounts remaining in the Distribution
Account. Upon deposit by the Master Servicer of such distributable amounts, and
following such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly to
the Depositor or its designee the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage
Loans, and the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution Account
shall terminate, subject to the Trustee's obligation to hold any amounts payable
to the Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions
pursuant to this Subsection 10.01(f).

         (g) If not all of the Certificateholders shall surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice, not all the Certificates shall have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or appoint
any agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets which remain subject to this Agreement.

         Section 10.02 ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS. (a) If the option of
the Depositor to repurchase (i) all the Group I Mortgage Loans and REMIC I, (ii)

the


                                      155

Code on REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V or (ii) cause any
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Regular Certificates

        (b) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, at the written
direction of the Depositor, the Trustee, as agent for the respective Tax Matters
Persons, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC in the case of
a termination of Loan Group I, Loan Group II and Loan Group III under Subsection
10.01(a)(i), or a plan of complete liquidation of REMIC I in the case of a
termination of Loan Group I under Subsection 10.01(a)(i), or a plan of complete
liquidation of REMIC II in the case of a termination of Loan Group II under
Subsection 10.01(a)(ii), or a plan of complete liquidation of REMIC III in the

to it by the Depositor, which meets the requirements of a "qualified
liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;

        (c) The Depositor shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such
90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final
payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all
of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof;
and

        (d) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation of each REMIC, of REMIC I, REMIC II or of REMIC III, as applicable,

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 11.01 INTENT OF PARTIES. The parties intend that each of REMIC
I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V shall be treated as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes and that the provisions of this Agreement should be
construed in furtherance of this intent.

         Section 11.02 AMENDMENT. (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Company, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, without notice to or the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provisions herein or therein, to comply with any changes in the Code or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Independent Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.

         (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund
or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class
or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates then outstanding, or (iii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee which shall be provided to the Trustee other than at
the Trustee's expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section
11.02(b), Certificates registered in the name of or held for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee or
any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to vote their Fractional Undivided
Interests with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

         (c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment or written notification of the substance
of such amendment to each Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.

         (d) In the case of an amendment under Subsection 11.02(b) above, it
shall not be necessary for the Certificateholders to approve the particular form
of such an amendment. Rather, it shall be sufficient if the Certificateholders
approve the substance of the amendment.

The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

         (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities
Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment
which affects the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's own respective
rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

         Section 11.03 RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and
in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Depositor
shall effect such recordation, at the expense of the Trust upon the request in
writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting
recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and
beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by
law.

         Section 11.04 LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate this Agreement or the
Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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

         (c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon, under or with respect to this Agreement against the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any successor to
any such parties unless (i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given
to the Trustee a written notice of a continuing default, as herein provided,
(ii) the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs and expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and (iii) the Trustee, for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice,




                                      158
<PAGE>



request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding.

         (d) No one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of
any provision of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other
Certificateholders or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common
benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

         Section 11.05 ACTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.05.

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such
instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

         (c) The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in
accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Certificate presented in accordance with
Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor
any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

         (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action of the holder of any Certificate shall bind every future
holder of the same Certificate and the holder of every Certificate issued upon
the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu
thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Certificates.

         (e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder,
Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as
otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor's right to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be.

                  Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month
prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs
on the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to
the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement.
The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day
is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a
"Distribution Date"), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and
principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of
the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Class of Certificates
will be reduced to zero.

                  Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this
Certificate is set forth above. [The Current Principal Amount hereof will be
reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any
Realized Losses allocable hereto.]

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates"),
issued in forty-three Classes. The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the
Agreement.

                  The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that
the Trustee is not liable to the


                                     A-1-3
<PAGE>

Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.

                  This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement
and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties
thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

                  The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

                  No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for
any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to
Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall
terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other
liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase
by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets
of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional


                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>

repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the
percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the
Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right
will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will
the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21
years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

                  Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an
authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

         evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
         distributions allocable to the Class [_-B-_] Certificates
         with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool
         of adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on
         one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED
         ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

                  This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the
Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured
Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred
to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the
Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person.
None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or
any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate
or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

                  This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership
interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the
"Trust Fund") primarily consisting of adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by
first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the
"Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. ("SAMI
II"). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") to SAMI

<PAGE>

Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans
(the "Master Servicer", which term includes any successors thereto under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the
"Agreement"), among EMC as seller and company (the "Seller"), SAMI II, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer and
securities administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities Administrator") and
U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") , a summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.

                  Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month
prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs
on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the
Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The
Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is
not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a
"Distribution Date"), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and
principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of
the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced
to zero.

                  Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set
forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.

                  [For Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5, Class I-B-6, Class I-B-7, Class
II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6][No transfer of this Class [_-B-_]
Certificate will be made unless such transfer is (i) exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws
and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Agreement. In the event
that such transfer is to be made the Trustee shall register such transfer if,
(i) made to a transferee who has provided the Trustee with evidence as to its
QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that
the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and
(B) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment
Letter; provided that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A)
and (B) above are not sufficient to confirm that such transfer is being made
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not


                                     A-2-5
<PAGE>

subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable laws, the Trustee shall as a condition of the registration of any
such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal
opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of this
Certificate as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.]

                  [For Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class II-B-1,
Class II-B-2 and Class II-B-3] [Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any
interest herein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and
is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
90-30, as amended from time to time ("Exemption"), and that it understands that
there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including
that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
"BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch, Inc. or Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an
insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the
certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general account", as
such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60,
and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]

retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement

Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the
proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and
operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited
transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited
transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction
Exemption ("PTE") 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (ii)
will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which will be
deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global
Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section 5.07 of the Agreement is
provided.]

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates"),
issued in forty-three Classes. The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the
Agreement.

                  The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that
the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under
this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

                  This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement
and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer


                                     A-2-6

and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of the Trust Fund (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of
affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided
Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

                  The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

                  No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for
any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to
Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall
terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other
liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase
by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets
of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional
repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the
percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the
Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right
will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will
the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21
years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

                                 SERIES 2004-10

         evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
         distributions allocable to the Class R-[_] Certificates with
         respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
         adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on
         one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED
         ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

                  This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the
Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured
Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred
to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the
Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person.
None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or
any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate
or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

                  This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the
registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the
beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate in a trust (the "Trust Fund") primarily consisting of adjustable
rate mortgages loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential
properties (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc. ("SAMI II"). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC
Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo")
will act as master servicer of the Mortgage


                                     A-3-3
<PAGE>

Loans (the "Master Servicer", which term includes any successors thereto under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above
(the "Agreement'), among EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and company (the
"Seller"), SAMI II, as depositor(the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as
master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities
Administrator") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"),
a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth
hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

                  The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or,
if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day
(each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the First Distribution Date
specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding
the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of
principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of
the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced
to zero.

                  Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register, or if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set
forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.

                  Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed
to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that
(i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of
any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery
to SAMI II, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of, among other things,
an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted
Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null
and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any
person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then
the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to
the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected
by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the
Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

                  This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly
by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement
which is subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of
counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator and on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of
the Trustee) which is acceptable to the Trustee, that the purchase of this
Certificate will not result in or constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction,
is permissible under applicable law and will not give rise to any additional
obligations on the part of the Seller, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties
thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such

thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

                  The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more

Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

                  No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for
any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to
Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall
terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other
liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase
by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets
of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional
repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the

authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

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

                               CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT

                  THIS CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT (as amended and supplemented from

or successor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below, the

(together with any successor in interest or any successor appointed hereunder,
the "Custodian").

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

                  WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and
EMC Mortgage Corporation (the "Seller") have entered into a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2004, relating to the issuance of
Bear Stearns ARM Trust 2004-10, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2004-10 (as in effect on the date of this agreement, the "Original Pooling and
Servicing Agreement," and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement'); and

                  WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the
Trustee for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other
instruments delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicers under their respective Servicing
Agreements, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations
hereinafter set forth;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

                 SECTION 1.
DEFINITIONS

                  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.


                                      G-1-1

                  SECTION 2.
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

                  (a) Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.
The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these
purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial
Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)), receipt of the Mortgage Files
relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the
"Mortgage Files") and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files
as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders.

                  (b) Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes
one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is
specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the
Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the
Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate
public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the
Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office
for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt
thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage
to the Custodian.

                  (c) Review of Mortgage Files.

                  (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with
Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver
to the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage
File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule").

                  (ii) Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees,
for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such
document, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all
such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to
the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any
exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The
Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.

                  (iii) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the
Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a
Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files.

                  (iv) In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation
as to and shall not be

                                     G-1-2
<PAGE>

responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due
authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents
included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

         Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall
as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

                  (d) Notification of Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the
Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related
Servicer and the Trustee.

                  (e) Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and
that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer
Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to
promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

                  Upon the Custodian's receipt of a request for release (a
"Request for Release") substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer
stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment
in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian
agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File.
The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept
the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.

                  From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer (or if the Servicer does not,
the Master Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be
released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such
release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage
provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to
the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any
document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need
therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan
has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the
Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and

                                     G-1-3
<PAGE>

address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

                  At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the
Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the
Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such
Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the
Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the
Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage
File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall
be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or
warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be
endorsed without recourse by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller. In
connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the
payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be
accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.

                  (f) Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is
entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement,
shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to
the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting parts thereof.

                  SECTION 3.
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

                  (a) Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect
to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage
File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the
bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee
and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5
of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be
delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master
Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time,
and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the
Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is
indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  (e) Custodian May Resign Trustee May Remove Custodian. The
Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as
such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall
either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly
appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to
the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the
Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of
resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

                  The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the
consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian
hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to
satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be
unaffiliated with the Servicer or the Depositor.

                  Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of
a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master
Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian
shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor
and the Master Servicer.

                  (f) Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into
which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian
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.

represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority,

<PAGE>

do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 4.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  (a) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands and

instrument or document delivered hereunder shall be in writing and, unless
otherwise specifically provided, may be delivered personally, by telegram or

signed by all parties hereto, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee shall enter into any amendment hereof except as permitted by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the
Custodian of any amendment or supplement to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and furnish the Custodian with written copies thereof.

                  (c) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED A CONTRACT
MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING
SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPALS. (d) Recordation of Agreement. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording
office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor and at the
Trust's expense, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor to the effect that the failure to
effect such recordation is likely to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders.

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

covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way

                                     G-1-6

affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the holders thereof.

                               CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT

                  THIS CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT (as amended and supplemented from
time to time, the "Agreement'), dated as of November 30, 2004, by and among U.S.

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

                  WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and
EMC Mortgage Corporation (the "Seller") have entered into a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2004, relating to the issuance of

                  WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the
Trustee for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other
instruments delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicers under their respective Servicing

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

                  SECTION 5.
DEFINITIONS

                  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

                                     G-2-1
<PAGE>

                SECTION 6.
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

                  (a) Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.
The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these
purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial
Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)), receipt of the Mortgage Files
relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the
"Mortgage Files") and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files
as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders.

                  (b) Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes
one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is
specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the
Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the
Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate
public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the
Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office
for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt
thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage
to the Custodian.

                  (c) Review of Mortgage Files.

                  (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with
Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver
to the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage
File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule").

                  (ii) Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees,
for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such
document, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all
such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to
the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any
exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The
Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.

                  (iii) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the
Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a
Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files.

                  (iv) In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation
as to and shall not be

                                     G-2-2
<PAGE>

responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due
authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents
included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

         Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall
as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

                  (d) Notification of Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the
Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related
Servicer and the Trustee.

                  (e) Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and
that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer
Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to
promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

                  Upon the Custodian's receipt of a request for release (a
"Request for Release") substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer
stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment
in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian
agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File.
The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept
the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.

                  From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer (or if the Servicer does not,
the Master Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be
released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such
release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage
provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to
the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any
document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need
therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan
has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the
Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and


                                     G-2-3
<PAGE>

address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

                  At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the
Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the
Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such
Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the
Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the
Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage
File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall
be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or
warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be
endorsed without recourse by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller. In
connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the
payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be
accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.

                  (f) Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is
entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement,
shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to
the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting parts thereof.

                  SECTION 7.
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

                  (a) Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect
to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage
File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the
bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee
and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5
of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be
delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master
Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

                  (b) Reserved.

                  (c) Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

<PAGE>


                  (d) Master Servicer to Pay Custodian's Fees and Expenses. The
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time,
and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Custodian. The Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Trust for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the
extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  (e) Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The
Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as
such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall
either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly

Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master
Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian
shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor
and the Master Servicer.

which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian

the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

scheduled principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but received
after the Cut-off Date. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be entitled to all
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date (including payments collected after the Cut-off Date)
and all payments thereon, other than scheduled principal and interest due after
the Cut-off Date but received on or before the Cut-off Date. Such principal
amounts and any interest thereon belonging to the Mortgage Loan Seller as

                  (b) Pursuant to various conveyancing documents to be executed

in and to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for


                                      J-4
<PAGE>

the benefit of the Certificateholders. In connection with the transfer and
assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered or will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing Date or such
later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller (each
of the Closing Date and such later date is referred to as a "Mortgage File
Delivery Date"), the items of each Mortgage File, provided, however, that in
lieu of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver the following
documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original
Security Instrument, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments
thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of
recording information relating to the Security Instrument required to be
included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not
been returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller in time to permit their delivery as
specified above, the Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a
certification by the Mortgage Loan Seller, on the face of such copy,
substantially as follows: "Certified to be a true and correct copy of the
original, which has been transmitted for recording"; (x) in lieu of the Security
Instrument, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if
the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as
evidenced by a certification from the Mortgage Loan Seller to such effect) the
Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an
original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the
jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage
Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by
the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit
5, the Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of
the Mortgage Loan Seller; and (z) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required
to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the
related Underlying Seller and the Mortgage Loan Seller, between the Mortgage
Loan Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and
provided further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been
prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to
the Trustee a certification by the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer
to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage
Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any
original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered)
or such certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are received. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if
any, and the assignment of the Security Instrument to be recorded not later than
180 days after the Closing Date, unless such assignment is not required to be
recorded under the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.

                  (c) In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Mortgage Loan Seller further agrees that
it will cause, at the Mortgage Loan Seller's own expense, within 30 days after
the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have
been assigned by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser
to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code
in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of the Certificates issued
in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan Seller further agrees
that it will not, and will not permit any Servicer or the Master Servicer


                                      J-5
<PAGE>

to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced
in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  (d) The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge
hereunder that all of the Mortgage Loans and the related servicing will
ultimately be assigned to U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the
Certificateholders, on the date hereof.

                  SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files.

                  (a) On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Mortgage
Loan Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its
agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the Mortgage
Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller's custodian. The fact that the
Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or
complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's
rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in
this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to
time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Mortgage Loan Seller's
compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser,
the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to
any investors or prospective investors in the Certificates information regarding
the Mortgage Loans and their servicing, to make the Mortgage Files available to
the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to such investors or prospective investors
(which may be at the offices of the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage
Loan Seller's custodian) and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the
Mortgage Loans for discussions with the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and such
investors or prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular
business hours, sufficient to permit the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and such
investors or potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any such party
reasonably believes is appropriate.

                  (b) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the
Closing Date the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, will acknowledge receipt of each Mortgage Loan, by delivery
to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee of an initial
certification in the form attached as Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement.

                  (c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90
days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan,
within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian
thereof), the Trustee will review or shall cause the Custodian to review items
of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage
Loan Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee an interim certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. If the
Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds any document listed on Exhibit 1 not
to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis
of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the
Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear
defective on its face (a "Material Defect"), the Trustee or the Custodian, as
its agent, shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material
Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure


                                      J-6
<PAGE>

any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee
or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan
Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such
defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of
notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years
of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to
be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from
the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect
relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the
original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified
copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been
returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be
required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers
such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such
original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate
recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not
been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its
agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its
receipt of the original recorded document.

                  (d) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within
180 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan,
within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof)
the Trustee will review or cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage
Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller,
the Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of
Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its
agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent,
shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90
days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of
the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure
such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan,
the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee
with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or
purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided
that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure,
repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach
was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the
inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original Security
Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the
originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the
applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to
purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original
documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than
360 days


                                      J-7
<PAGE>

after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in
the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of
any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the
applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such
office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording
receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a
certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the
Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded
document.

                  (e) At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in
connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee in accordance with the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to the Mortgage
Loan Seller and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not
limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File)
in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and
(ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Mortgage Loan Seller
title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

                  SECTION 6. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

                  (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause each assignment of
the Security Instrument from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee to be
recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such
recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has
been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that
the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified
on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the
Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Mortgage Loan Seller and its
successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each
assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Mortgage Loan Seller in the
manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest
to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii)
the occurrence of a Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller and (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

                  While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if
necessary, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the
Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording
fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of
mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be
borne by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

                  (b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser,
as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further,
not the intention of the parties that such

                                   J-8

<PAGE>

conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Mortgage Loan
Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the
Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for
herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the
Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser
would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from
time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage
Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial
Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision
hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed
to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Mortgage Loan
Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 7. Representations and Warranties of Mortgage Loan
Seller Concerning the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents
and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date or such other date as may
be specified below with respect to each Mortgage Loan being sold by it:

         detail, is true and correct according to the Rating Agency
         requirements;

                  (ii) immediately prior to the transfer to the Purchaser, the
         Mortgage Loan Seller was the sole owner of beneficial title and holder
         of each Mortgage and Mortgage Note relating to the Mortgage Loans and
         is conveying the same free and clear of any and all liens, claims,
         encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges, charges or
         security interests of any nature and the Mortgage Loan Seller has full
         right and authority to sell or assign the same pursuant to this
         Agreement;

                  (iii) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in
         all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations,
         including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity,
         disclosure and recording laws and all predatory lending laws; and each
         Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in accordance
         with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without
         limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and recording
         laws and all predatory lending laws and the terms of the related

         Loan Seller and its successors and assigns that the Mortgage is a first
         priority lien on the related Mortgaged Property in the original
         principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan Seller is the
         sole insured under such lender's title insurance policy, and such
         policy, binder or assurance is valid and remains in full force and
         effect, and each such policy, binder or assurance shall contain all

         in an amount which is not less than the lesser of the maximum insurable
         value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or the
         outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event in
         an amount less than an amount that is required to prevent the Mortgagor
         from being deemed to be a co-insurer thereunder; if the improvement on
         the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the
         coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium project; if

         Mortgaged Property were in an area identified as a federally designated
         flood area, a flood insurance policy is in effect in an amount
         representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding

         union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and
         examined by a federal or state authority (or originated by (i) a

respecting a breach of representations or warranties hereunder with respect to
the Mortgage Loans, except for the obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to
indemnify the Purchaser for such breach as set forth in and limited by Section

<PAGE>

Seller additionally agrees to pay directly to any third party on a timely basis
the fees provided for above which are charged by such third party and which are
billed periodically.

                  SECTION 12. Accountants' Letters.

                  (a) Deloitte & Touche LLP will review the characteristics of a

Supplement--The Mortgage Loans" and "The Mortgage Pool" and in Schedule A

                  SECTION 13. Indemnification.

                  (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Purchaser and its directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in
Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Mortgage Loan Seller's Information
as identified in Exhibit 3, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement
or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the
Mortgage Loan Seller and in which additional Mortgage Loan Seller's Information
is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with Mortgage Loan Seller's
Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty assigned or made by the
Mortgage Loan Seller in Section 7 or Section 8 hereof being, or alleged to be,
untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to perform
its obligations under this Agreement; and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
reimburse the Purchaser and each other indemnified party for any legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action.

         The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which
the Mortgage Loan Seller otherwise may have to the Purchaser or any other such
indemnified party.

                  (b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Mortgage Loan Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling
persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any
loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or
any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar
as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon
(i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser's
Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Prospectus
Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto
approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser's Information is
identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser's
Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in
Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any
failure by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and
the Purchaser shall reimburse the Mortgage Loan Seller, and each other
indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is
in addition to any liability which the Purchaser otherwise may have to the
Mortgage Loan Seller, or any other such indemnified party,

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom
indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the
failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may

                                      J-19
<PAGE>

have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in
any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have
otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party,
and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it
may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in
any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own
counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of
such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying
parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying
parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such
action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or
(iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that
there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the
indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the
interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive
with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties
shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel
in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this
subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written
consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified
party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in
respect thereof, referred to in Section 13, then the indemnifying party shall in
lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan
Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale
of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Certificates and the other
transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable
for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  (e) The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified
party on any publicly available information or any information or directions
furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

                  SECTION 14. Notices. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing but may be delivered by facsimile transmission
subsequently confirmed in writing. Notices to the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
directed to EMC Mortgage Corporation, Mac Arthur Ridge II, 909 Hidden Ridge
Drive, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75038 (Telecopy: (972-444-2880)), and notices to
the Purchaser shall be directed to Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II
Inc., 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179 (Telecopy: (212-272-

                                      J-20
<PAGE>

7206)), Attention: Baron Silverstein; or to any other address as may hereafter
be furnished by one party to the other party by like notice. Any such demand,
notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the
date received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of
registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt) provided
that it is received on a business day during normal business hours and, if
received after normal business hours, then it shall be deemed to be received on
the next business day.

                  SECTION 15. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser retains
the right to assign the Mortgage Loans and any or all of its interest under this
Agreement to the Trustee without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, and,
upon such assignment, the Trustee shall succeed to the applicable rights and
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, the Purchaser shall
remain entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 11, 13 and 17 hereto and
as provided in Section 2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and
exclusive right and remedy of the Trustee with respect to a breach of
representation or warranty of the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be the purchase or
substitution obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in Sections 5 and
7 hereof.

                  SECTION 16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (a)
by the mutual consent of the parties hereto prior to the Closing Date, (b) by
the Purchaser, if the conditions to the Purchaser's obligation to close set
forth under Section 10(a) hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be
fulfilled or (c) by the Mortgage Loan Seller, if the conditions to the Mortgage
Loan Seller's obligation to close set forth under Section 10(b) hereof are not
fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled. In the event of termination
pursuant to clause (b), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay, and in the event of
termination pursuant to clause (c), the Purchaser shall pay, all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to clause
(a), each party shall be responsible for its own expenses.

                  SECTION 17. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to
Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in
this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Mortgage Loan
Seller submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and
effect and shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser (and by
the Purchaser to the Trustee). Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans
to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller's representations and warranties
contained herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to relate to
the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to the Purchaser and included in the Final
Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Substitute Mortgage Loan and not to those
Mortgage Loans deleted from the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule pursuant to
Section 3 hereof prior to the Closing.

                  SECTION 18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, the Agreement shall be
ineffective only to such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which will be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 20. Amendment. This Agreement cannot be amended or
modified in any manner without the prior written consent of each party.

                  SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO
HAVE BEEN MADE AND PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

                  SECTION 22. Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to
execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as another party may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to
carry out the terms of this Agreement including any amendments hereto which may
be required by either Rating Agency.

                  SECTION 23. Successors and Assigns.

         This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser and their permitted
successors and assigns and, to the extent specified in Section 13 hereof, Bear
Stearns, and their directors, officers and controlling persons (within the
meaning of federal securities laws). The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and
agrees that the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller's representations
and warranties respecting the Mortgage Loans) to the Trustee. Any person into
which the Mortgage Loan Seller may be merged or consolidated (or any person
resulting from any merger or consolidation involving the Mortgage Loan Seller),
any person resulting from a change in form of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any
person succeeding to the business of the Mortgage Loan Seller, shall be
considered the "successor" of the Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder and shall be
considered a party hereto without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act or consent on the part of any party hereto. Except as provided in
the two preceding sentences, this Agreement cannot be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by either party hereto without the written consent of the other
parties to this Agreement and any such assignment or purported assignment shall
be deemed null and void.

                  SECTION 24. The Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller
will keep in full effect all rights as are necessary to perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 25. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.

                  SECTION 26. No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties
hereto.

                  APPENDIX E: Standard & Poor's Predatory Lending Categorization

         Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory
lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon
a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the
assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws.
Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are
included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they included
thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost
by the industry.
