            If Custodian has received each applicable Required Delivery Item by
the Required Delivery Time set forth above, then Custodian will deliver to Buyer
and Disbursement Agent, by Electronic Transmission, no later than 3:00 p.m. New
York time (or with respect to each such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, no later than 2
hours after receipt of a final Transaction Request but in no event later than
5:00 p.m. New York time) on the Purchase Date, an Asset Schedule and Exception
Report for each Mortgage Loan (other than Mortgage Loans with a Fatal Document
Exception) sold hereunder on such date, with Exceptions identified by Custodian
as current as of the date and time of delivery of such Asset Schedule and
Exception Report.

            Upon receipt of a Transaction Request and the related Seller Asset
Schedule from Seller, Disbursement Agent shall confirm via Electronic
Transmission, the receipt of such request with Seller and Buyer. Upon discovery
by Custodian of a Fatal Document Exception, Custodian shall immediately send to
Seller, Disbursement Agent and Buyer, by Electronic Transmission, a Fatal
Document Exception Report listing such Fatal Document Exceptions together with
an Asset Schedule with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has any Fatal Document
Exception. Custodian's Electronic Transmission to each of Seller, Disbursement
Agent and Buyer of a Fatal Document Exception, shall be sent "confirm receipt"
or by some other means such that Custodian has a reasonable belief that such
notice has been received by the addressee. In the event Custodian has not
received all documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii)
with respect to a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan on or before the tenth (10th) Business
Day after the related Purchase Date, Custodian shall immediately notify Buyer,
Seller and Disbursement Agent by Electronic Transmission of such failure.

            (b) Custodian shall deliver to Buyer, no later than 5:00 p.m. New
York time a Trust Receipt in respect of all Mortgage Loans (including Wet-Ink
Mortgage Loans) sold to Buyer on such Purchase Date and any prior Purchase Date
and held hereunder, and shall deliver to each of Buyer and Disbursement Agent an
Asset Schedule and Exception Report for Mortgage Loans which are not Wet-Ink
Mortgage Loans and a detailed listing of all Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans. Each Asset
Schedule and Exception Report and detailed listing of Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans
delivered by Custodian to Buyer and Disbursement Agent shall supersede and
cancel the Asset Schedule and Exception Report and detailed listing of Wet-Ink
Mortgage Loans previously delivered by Custodian to Buyer and Disbursement Agent
hereunder, and shall replace the then existing Asset Schedule and Exception
Report and detailed listing of Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans to be attached to the
Trust Receipt. Custodian shall incorporate into each Asset Schedule and
Exception Report delivered to Buyer and Disbursement Agent pursuant to this
Section 3(b) all updated information with respect to the outstanding principal
balance and interest paid on each Mortgage Loan delivered to Custodian by either
Disbursement Agent or Buyer. Custodian shall also deliver to Seller, Buyer and
Disbursement Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on each Business Day,
by Electronic Transmission, a daily aging report setting forth such information
as may be reasonably required by Buyer (the "Daily Aged Report"). Custodian
shall monitor each Mortgage Loan on a daily basis in order that all information
set forth on the Daily Aged Report is accurate as of the time such Daily Aged
Report is delivered. Disbursement Agent shall provide to Custodian all
information in its possession that Custodian requires in order to complete and
deliver each Daily Aged Report. In no event shall Custodian list any Mortgage
Loan on an Asset Schedule and Exception Report if Custodian has not yet reviewed
the related Mortgage File.


                                      -13-


<PAGE>


            (c) Each Asset Schedule and Exception Report shall list all
Exceptions using such exception codes as are set forth on Annex 11 hereto, as
may be amended from time to time. In no event shall Custodian list any Mortgage
Loan on the Asset Schedule and Exception Report if such Mortgage Loan is
required to be listed on the Fatal Exception Report and related Asset Schedule;
provided that, if a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan has been previously listed on the
Asset Schedule and Exception Report, it shall remain on the Asset Schedule and
Exception Report and the Custodian shall indicate any Fatal Document Exception.
The delivery of each Asset Schedule and Exception Report to Buyer and
Disbursement Agent shall be Custodian's representation that, other than the
Exceptions listed as part of the Exception Report: (i) all documents required to
be delivered in respect of each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 of this
Agreement have been delivered and are in the possession of Custodian as part of
the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan, (ii) Custodian is holding each
Mortgage Loan identified on the Asset Schedule and Exception Report, pursuant to
this Agreement, as the bailee of and custodian for Buyer and/or its designees
and (iii) all such documents have been reviewed by Custodian and appear on their
face to be regular and to relate to such Mortgage Loan and satisfy the
requirements set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the review procedures
attached hereto as Annex 4 (the "Review Procedures").

            (d) In connection with an Asset Schedule and Exception Report
delivered hereunder by Custodian, Custodian shall make no representations as to
and shall not be responsible to verify (A) the validity, legality,
enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency, or genuineness of
any of the documents contained in each Mortgage File or (B) the collectability,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan. Subject to
the following sentence, Seller and Buyer hereby give Custodian notice that from
and after the Purchase Date, Buyer shall own each Mortgage Loan identified on an
Asset Schedule and Exception Report until such time that Custodian receives
notice from Buyer or Disbursement Agent that Buyer no longer owns such Mortgage
Loan. In the event that Buyer does not purchase the Eligible Assets proposed to
be purchased from Seller prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Purchase Date,
upon written notice thereof from Seller, acknowledged by Buyer, or notice from
Disbursement Agent thereof, Custodian shall hold or release to Seller, pursuant
to Seller's written instructions, the Mortgage Loans in respect of the Asset
Schedule and Exception Report delivered by Custodian on such Purchase Date.

            (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in
the event that the Asset Schedule and Exception Report or detailed listing of
Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans attached to the Trust Receipt is different from the most
recently delivered Asset Schedule and Exception Report or detailed listing of
Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, then the most recently delivered Asset Schedule and
Exception Report or detailed listing of Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans shall control and
be binding upon the parties hereto.

            Section 4.  Obligations of Custodian.
                        ------------------------

            (a) Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all items
constituting the Mortgage Files in secure facilities in accordance with
customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the
interest of Buyer therein. Each Mortgage Note (and Assignment of Mortgage) shall
be maintained in fire resistant facilities.


                                      -14-


<PAGE>


            (b) With respect to the documents constituting each Mortgage File,
Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as the bailee of, and custodian for, Buyer,
(ii) hold all documents constituting such Mortgage File received by it for the
exclusive use and benefit of Buyer, and (iii) make disposition thereof only in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions
furnished by Buyer; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between
the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of Buyer, Buyer's
written instructions shall control.

            (c) In the event that (i) Buyer, Seller or Custodian shall be served
by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with
respect to any Mortgage File or any document included within a Mortgage File or
(ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Mortgage
File or a document included within a Mortgage File shall be required to be
delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the other parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders,
documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. Custodian shall, to
the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Mortgage
Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable
order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition
thereof. Upon final determination of such court, Custodian shall dispose of such
Mortgage File or any document included within such Mortgage File as directed by
Buyer which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses
of Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by Seller.

            Section 5.  Release of Mortgage Files.
                        -------------------------

            (a) From time to time until Custodian is otherwise notified by Buyer
in writing (unless such notice is given by the Disbursement Agent in accordance
with Section 11), which notice shall be given by Buyer (or Disbursement Agent in
accordance with Section 11) only following the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default, Custodian shall, upon receipt of written request of Seller,
release documentation relating to Mortgage Loans in the possession of Custodian
to Seller or its designee, for the purpose of correcting documentary
deficiencies relating thereto against a Request for Release and Receipt
delivered via Electronic Transmission by Seller in the form of Annex 5-A hereto.
The preceding sentence respecting release to Seller, or its designee, of
Custodian's Mortgage Files shall be operative only to the extent that at any
time Custodian shall not have released to Seller or its designee pursuant to
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 5, Mortgage Files pertaining to Mortgage Loans
at the time being held by Custodian on behalf of Buyer with an aggregate
outstanding principal balance greater than $500,000 (the "Release Limit"). In
the event Seller or its designee requests the release of a Mortgage File to
Seller or its designee with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which release would
result in Custodian having released Mortgage Files pertaining to Mortgage Loans
at the time being held by Custodian on behalf of Buyer with an aggregate
outstanding principal balance greater than the Release Limit, Custodian shall
notify Buyer and obtain written consent of Buyer prior to such requested
release. Custodian shall promptly notify Buyer in its Daily Report that it has
released any Mortgage File to Seller or its designee. Seller or its designee
shall hold each Mortgage File delivered to it pursuant to this Section 5(a) as
bailee for Buyer. Seller or its designee shall return to Custodian each document
previously released from Custodian's Mortgage File within ten (10) Business Days
of receipt thereof. Seller hereby further covenants to Buyer and Custodian that


                                      -15-


<PAGE>


any such request by Seller for release of Mortgage Loan Documents pursuant to
this Section 5(a) shall be solely for the purposes of correcting clerical or
other non-substantial documentation problems in preparation for returning such
Mortgage Loan Documents to Custodian for ultimate sale or exchange and that
Seller has requested such release in compliance with all terms and conditions of
such release set forth herein and in the Repurchase Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Mortgage Notes shall be
released only for the purpose of (i) ultimate sale or exchange or (ii)
presentation, collection, renewal or registration of transfer.

            (b) From time to time until Custodian is otherwise notified by Buyer
in writing (unless such notice is given by the Disbursement Agent in accordance
with Section 11), which notice shall be given by Buyer (or Disbursement Agent in
accordance with Section 11) only following the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default, and as appropriate for the servicing of any of the Mortgage
Loans, Custodian shall, upon receipt from Seller or its designee of a written
Request for Release of Documents and Receipt delivered via Electronic
Transmission in the form of Annex 5-B hereto, release to Seller or its designee
the Mortgage File or the documents set forth in such request relating to
Mortgage Loans in the possession of Custodian. The preceding sentence respecting
release to Seller, or its designee, of Custodian's Mortgage Files shall be
operative only to the extent that at any time Custodian shall not have released
to Seller or its designee pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 5,
Mortgage Files pertaining to Mortgage Loans at the time being held by Custodian
on behalf of Buyer with an aggregate outstanding principal balance greater than
the Release Limit. In the event Seller or its designee requests the release of a
Mortgage File to Seller or its designee with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which
release would result in Custodian having released Mortgage Files pertaining to
Mortgage Loans at the time being held by Custodian on behalf of Buyer with an
aggregate outstanding principal balance greater than the Release Limit,
Custodian shall notify Buyer in its Daily Report and obtain written consent of
Buyer prior to such requested release. Custodian shall promptly notify Buyer
that it has released any Mortgage File to Seller or its designee. Seller or its
designee shall hold each Mortgage File delivered to it pursuant to this Section
5(b) as bailee for Buyer. Seller or its designee shall return to Custodian each
document previously released from Custodian's Mortgage File within ten (10)
Business Days of receipt thereof. Seller hereby further covenants to Buyer and
Custodian that any such request by Seller or its designee for release of
Mortgage Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be solely for the
purposes of servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans and that Seller has requested
such release in compliance with all terms and conditions of such release set
forth herein and in the Repurchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the foregoing, Mortgage Notes shall be released only for
the purpose of (i) ultimate sale or exchange or (ii) presentation, collection,
renewal or registration of transfer.

            (c) (i) From time to time Custodian is hereby authorized, upon
      receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Annex 5-C hereto delivered
      by Seller via Electronic Transmission and receipt of Buyers written
      consent to such release to release Mortgage Files in the possession of
      Custodian to a third party purchaser for the purpose of resale thereof.
      Buyer shall have no obligation to consent to any such Request for Release
      after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default. On such Request
      for Release, Seller shall indicate the Mortgage Loans to be sold, the
      purchase price for such Mortgage Loan anticipated to be received, the name


                                      -16-


<PAGE>


      and address of the third party purchaser, the preferred method of
      delivery, and the date of desired delivery.

            (ii) Any transmittal of documentation for Mortgage Loans in the
      possession of Custodian in connection with the sale thereof to a
      third-party purchaser other than an Agency will be under cover of a
      transmittal letter substantially in the form attached as Annex 12 hereto,
      duly completed by Custodian and executed by Custodian. Any transmittal of
      documentation for Mortgage Loans in the possession of Custodian in
      connection with the shipment to a custodian or trustee other than an
      Agency in connection with the formation of a mortgage pool supporting a
      mortgage-backed security (an "MBS") will be under cover of a transmittal
      letter substantially in the form attached as Annex 13 hereto. Promptly
      upon (x) the remittance by such third-party purchaser of the full purchase
      price of the Mortgage Loan or (y) the issuance of such MBS, Buyer shall
      notify Custodian in writing thereof.

            (iii) Any transmittal of documentation for Mortgage Loans in the
      possession of Custodian in connection with the sale thereof to an Agency
      will be under cover of Bailee Letter, duly completed by Custodian and
      executed by Custodian. Promptly upon the remittance by such Agency or the
      Seller of the full purchase price of the Mortgage Loan. With respect to
      any transmittal of documentation for Mortgage Loans in the possession of
      Custodian in connection with the shipment to an Agency, the Custodian
      shall verify (A) that the related Mortgage File contains the Applicable
      Agency Documents, (B) (1) with respect to the wire transfer instructions
      as set forth in Freddie Mac Form 987 (Wire Transfer Authorization for a
      Cash Warehouse Delivery) such wire transfer instructions are identical to
      Buyer's wire instructions to Seller or (2) the Payee Number set forth on
      Fannie Mae Form 1068 (Fixed-Rate, Graduated-Payment, or Growing-Equity
      Mortgage Loan Schedule) or Fannie Mae Form 1069 (Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
      Loan Schedule), as applicable, is identical to the Payee Number that has
      been identified by Buyer in writing as Buyer's Payee Number and (C) the
      Applicable Agency Documents list Buyer as sole subscriber. Seller
      covenants that it will advise Buyer of any necessary amendments to such
      exhibits to reflect all current requirements of the applicable Agency.
      Custodian shall immediately notify Buyer and Seller via Electronic
      Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm receipt" or by some other means
      such that Custodian has a reasonable belief that such notice has been
      received by the addressee) of any exception with respect to any exceptions
      to the requirements of the preceding sentence and such exception shall be
      a Fatal Document Exception with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

            (d) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Custodian and Buyer shall take such steps as they may reasonably be
directed from time to time by Seller in writing, which Seller deems necessary
and appropriate, to transfer promptly and deliver to Seller any Mortgage File in
the possession of Custodian relating to any Mortgage Loan which was previously a
Purchased Asset but which Seller, with the written consent of Buyer, has
notified Custodian has ceased to be an Eligible Asset or the release of which
would not cause Seller to violate Section 4 of the Repurchase Agreement. In
furtherance of the foregoing, upon receipt of written request from Seller in the
form of Annex 5-A hereto delivered via Electronic Transmission, which must be
consented to by Buyer, Custodian shall release to Seller the requested Mortgage
Files.


                                      -17-


<PAGE>


            (e) Following written notification by Buyer (or Disbursement Agent
in accordance with Section 11)(which may be by facsimile) to Custodian that a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Custodian shall
not release, or incur any liability to Seller or any other Person for refusing
to release, any item relating to a Purchased Asset to Seller or any other Person
without the express prior written consent and at the direction of Buyer.

            (f) Custodian shall at all times monitor any release of Purchased
Assets under this Section 5, and shall track the period of time which has
elapsed for any such release of Purchased Assets and shall report such
information to Buyer daily and in the same manner as Custodian provides an Asset
Schedule and Exception Report.

            (g) Prior to any shipment of Mortgage Files hereunder, Seller shall
deliver to Custodian written instructions as to the method of shipment and
shippers Custodian is to utilize in connection with the transmission of Mortgage
Files or other loan documents in the performance of Custodian's duties
hereunder. Seller shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole
cost and expense (or, at Custodian's option, reimburse Custodian for all costs
and expenses incurred by Custodian consistent with the instructions) and will
maintain such insurance against loss or damage to Mortgage Files or other loan
documents as Buyer deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the
provisions of Section 13(a), it is expressly agreed that in no event shall
Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to Seller arising out of
actions of Custodian consistent with the instructions of Seller except to the
extent such losses or damages arise due to the Custodian's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In the event Custodian does not receive such written
instructions, Custodian shall be authorized to utilize any nationally recognized
courier service.

            Section 6. Fees and Expenses of Custodian.
                       ------------------------------

            Custodian shall charge such fees for its services under this
Agreement as are set forth in a separate agreement between Custodian and Seller,
the payment of which fees, together with Custodian's expenses in connection
herewith, shall be solely the obligation of Seller. The failure of Seller to pay
any such fees shall not excuse the performance by Custodian of any of its
obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Seller to pay Custodian such fees
and reimburse Custodian for such expenses in connection with services provided
by Custodian prior to the termination of this Agreement and the earlier of the
resignation or removal of Custodian shall survive such termination, resignation
or removal.

            Section 7. Removal or Resignation of Custodian and Disbursement
                       Agent.
                       ----------------------------------------------------

            (a) Custodian or Disbursement Agent may at any time resign and
terminate their obligations under this Agreement upon at least (180) days' prior
written notice to Seller and Buyer. Promptly after receipt of notice of
Custodian's or Disbursement Agent's resignation, as applicable, Buyer shall
appoint, by written instrument, a successor custodian or a successor
disbursement agent, as applicable, subject to written approval by Seller (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). One original counterpart of such
instrument of appointment shall be delivered to each of Seller, Custodian and
the successor custodian. In the event that no successor custodian or
disbursement agent shall have been appointed within such 180 day notice period,


                                      -18-


<PAGE>


Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor custodian or disbursement agent,
as the case may be.

            (b) Buyer, with the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), upon at least (30) days' prior written notice to
Custodian, Disbursement Agent and Seller, may remove and discharge Custodian (or
any successor custodian thereafter appointed) from the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. Buyer, without the consent of Seller, upon at
least (30) days' prior written notice to Custodian, Disbursement Agent and
Seller, may remove and discharge Disbursement Agent (or any successor
disbursement agent thereafter appointed) from the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement. Promptly after the giving of notice of removal of
Custodian and Disbursement Agent, Buyer shall appoint, by written instrument, a
successor custodian, with the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and a disbursement agent, which appointment shall
require no other approval. One original counterpart of such instrument of
appointment shall be delivered to each of Buyer, Seller, Custodian, Disbursement
Agent and the successor custodian and disbursement agent.

            (c) In the event of any such resignation or removal, Custodian shall
promptly transfer to the successor custodian, as directed in writing, all the
Mortgage Files being administered under this Agreement and, if the endorsements
on the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgage have been completed in the
name of Custodian, assign the Mortgages and endorse without recourse the
Mortgage Notes to the successor Custodian or as otherwise directed by Buyer. The
cost of the shipment of Mortgage Files arising out of the resignation of
Custodian shall be at the expense of Custodian; provided, however, that if the
sole reason for Custodian's resignation is due to the non-payment of the fees
and expenses due to it hereunder by Seller, then the shipment cost of such
shipment of Mortgage Files shall not be an expense of Custodian, but shall be at
the expense of Seller. Any cost of shipment arising out of the removal of
Custodian shall be at the expense of Seller. Seller shall be responsible for the
fees and expenses of the successor custodian and the fees and expenses for
endorsing the Mortgage Notes and assigning the Mortgages to the successor
custodian if required pursuant to this paragraph.

            Section 8. Examination of Files, Books and Records.
                       ---------------------------------------

            Upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior written notice to Seller and
Custodian and at Seller's expense, Buyer, Seller and each of their respective
agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal
business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies of, the Mortgage Files and
any and all documents, records and other instruments or information in the
possession of or under the control of Custodian relating to any or all of the
Mortgage Loans.

            Section 9. Insurance.
                       ---------

            (a) At its own expense, Custodian shall maintain at all times during
the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect a fidelity
bond and document hazard insurance. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with
standard coverage and subject to standard deductibles, all as is customary for
insurance typically maintained by institutions which act as custodian. The
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policies shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in the


                                      -19-

Applicable Guide. A certificate of an Authorized Representative of Custodian
shall be furnished to Seller and Buyer, upon written request, stating that such
insurance is in full force and effect.

            (b) At its own expense, Disbursement Agent shall maintain at all
times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect a
fidelity bond. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage
and subject to standard deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically
maintained by institutions which act as Disbursement Agents with duties similar
to those of Disbursement Agent herein. The minimum coverage under any such bond
and insurance policies shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts
required by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in the Applicable Guide. A certificate of
an Authorized Representative of Disbursement Agent shall be furnished to Seller
and Buyer, upon written request, stating that such insurance is in full force
and effect.

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

            (a) Establishment of Disbursement Account, Wire-out Account and
Settlement Account.

            (i) Disbursement Agent shall establish and maintain a disbursement
      account (the "Disbursement Account") for and on behalf of Buyer entitled
      "Disbursement Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
      Disbursement Agent for CDC Mortgage Capital Inc., Reference Number
      _______." The Disbursement Account shall be owned by and under the
      exclusive dominion and control of Buyer. None of Disbursement Agent,
      Seller nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Seller or
      Disbursement Agent shall have any right or authority, whether express or
      implied, to close or make use of, or, except as expressly provided herein,
      withdraw any funds from, the Disbursement Account. Unless Disbursement
      Agent shall receive notice in writing from Buyer to the contrary by 10:00
      a.m. New York time on any applicable Business Day, Disbursement Agent is
      hereby authorized by Buyer to disburse funds deposited in the Disbursement
      Account on such Business Day in accordance with this Agreement. Funds
      retained in the Disbursement Account shall remain uninvested. Disbursement
      Agent shall reconcile the Disbursement Account on a daily basis. Unless
      otherwise instructed by Buyer in writing, before the close of business on
      each Business Day, Disbursement Agent shall withdraw all collected amounts
      as of 5:30 p.m. New York time then standing to the credit of the

      Inc., ABA#021000018, Account #GLA 111569 SER, Attn: Eric Seyffer, or, if
      such funds cannot be deposited into the foregoing account at the end of
      such Business Day, on the next Business Day.

            (ii) In connection with the funding of any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans or
      the purchase of any other Mortgage Loan by Seller simultaneously with the
      purchase of such Mortgage Loan by Buyer, Disbursement Agent shall
      establish and maintain a Wire-out Account (the "Wire-out Account") for and
      on behalf of Seller entitled "Wire-out Account, Deutsche Bank National
      Trust Company, as Disbursement Agent for American Home Mortgage Corp.,
      Reference Number _______." With respect to any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan to be
      funded or any other Mortgage Loan to be purchased on any Business Day
      (other than a Check-Funded Loan), Seller shall deposit into the Wire-out

      Account no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on such Business Day an
      amount (the "Seller Funded Wire Amount") equal to the difference between
      the Wire Amount and the amount to be funded by Buyer from the Disbursement
      Account in accordance with Section 11(d). Seller hereby requests that
      Disbursement Agent, and Disbursement Agent shall, disburse the Seller
      Funded Wire Amount at the same time, and in the same manner, as
      Disbursement Agent disburses funds from the Disbursement Account with
      respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 11(d)(i). With
      respect to each Check Funded Loan, prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time on

      manner, as Disbursement Agent disburses the Buyer Funded Amount from the
      Disbursement Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with
      Section 11(d)(ii). The Wire-out Account shall be owned by and under the
      exclusive dominion and control of Seller. None of Disbursement Agent,
      Buyer nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Buyer or
      Disbursement Agent shall have any right or authority, whether express or
      implied, to close or make use of, or, except as expressly provided herein,
      withdraw any funds from, the Wire-out Account. Funds retained in the
      Wire-out Account shall remain uninvested. Disbursement Agent shall
      reconcile the Wire-out Account on a daily basis. Upon written request of
      Buyer, Disbursement Agent shall verify the information contained on each
      wire instruction to the extent of confirming that the wire instructions on
      the Asset Schedule delivered by Seller are identical to the wire
      instructions set forth in the related Escrow Instruction Letter, Seller's
      Release or Warehouse Lender's Release.

            (iii) Check Disbursement Bank shall establish and maintain the
      Settlement Account in accordance with the Check Disbursement Agreement.

      Agreement by Seller or a sale of a Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement
      to a third party investor shall be sent directly to the Settlement
      Account. All related fees and expenses for the Settlement Account shall be
      borne by Seller. The Settlement Account shall be owned by and under the

      Seller nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Seller or
      Disbursement Agent shall have any right or authority, whether express or
      implied, to close or make use of, or, except as expressly provided herein,

      herein to the contrary, Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to net any
      amounts due and owing under this Agreement to it or Custodian from Seller
      from amounts that, after application of amounts in the Settlement Account
      due and owing to Buyer, would otherwise be disbursed to Seller pursuant to
      this Section 11(a)(iii). Unless Disbursement Agent shall receive notice in
      writing from Buyer to the contrary by 5:00 p.m. New York time on any
      applicable Business Day, Disbursement Agent is hereby authorized by Buyer
      to disburse funds deposited in the Settlement Account on such Business Day
      in accordance with Section 11(f). Funds retained in the Settlement Account
      shall remain uninvested. Disbursement Agent shall reconcile the Settlement
      Account on a daily basis. Unless otherwise instructed by Buyer in writing,
      before the close of business on each Business Day, Disbursement Agent


                                      -22-

      A/C of CDC Mortgage Capital Inc., ABA#021000018, Account #GLA 111569 SER,
      Attn: Eric Seyffer, or, if such funds cannot be deposited into the
      foregoing account at the end of such Business Day, on the next Business
      Day.

            (b) Customer Profiles. On or prior to the first Purchase Date, Buyer
shall provide to Disbursement Agent an initial customer profile in a form and
substance as determined by Buyer and as is reasonably acceptable to Disbursement
Agent (the "Customer Profile"), which will include each Class to be purchased
under the Repurchase Agreement (i.e., Conforming Mortgage Loan, Jumbo Mortgage
Loan, Alt-A First Mortgage Loan, Alt-A Second Mortgage Loan, Sub-Prime First
Mortgage Loan, Sub-Prime Second Mortgage Loan, Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan or
Repurchased Mortgage Loan) together with the related Market Values, Purchase
Percentages, Sub-Limits, Pricing Spread and other relevant information, together
with the calculations required to be performed in order to determine the Asset
Value, Purchase Price, Pricing Differential and Pricing Spread for each such
Class. The Customer Profile shall, at any time and from time to time, be in a
form and substance as determined by the Buyer and as is reasonably acceptable to
the Disbursement Agent. Each Customer Profile delivered by Buyer shall supersede
the previous Customer Profile and Disbursement Agent shall utilize the most
recently delivered Customer Profile on each day with respect to all transactions
hereunder. Promptly upon receipt of a Customer Profile, Disbursement Agent shall
verbally confirm with Buyer all changes to each field since the most recently
delivered Customer Profile.

            (c) Disbursement Agent Calculations and Verifications.

            (i) Initial Purchase of an Eligible Asset. With respect to each
      Eligible Asset, Disbursement Agent shall perform the procedures set forth
      below, in such order, with respect to each Eligible Asset in the order
      that the related Transaction Requests are received:

                  (A) On each date on which Disbursement Agent receives a
            Transaction Request from Seller, together with the related Seller
            Asset Schedule, Disbursement Agent shall verbally confirm the
            receipt of such Transaction Request with Buyer. With respect to each
            Transaction Request, Disbursement Agent shall perform an Edit Check
            with respect to each Eligible Asset that Seller has requested Buyer
            purchase. If any Mortgage Loan fails the Edit Check Procedures,
            Disbursement Agent shall notify each of Seller and Buyer via
            Electronic Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm receipt" or by
            some other means such that Disbursement Agent has a reasonable
            belief that such notice has been received by the addressee) of such
            Fatal Information Exception, and such Transaction Request shall be
            deemed to be null and void.

                  (B) Upon a determination that each Eligible Asset that Seller
            has requested Buyer purchase does not fail the Edit Check,
            Disbursement Agent shall compare the information set forth in the
            related Seller Asset Schedule with the applicable information
            required pursuant to Annex 1 hereof with respect to the particular
            Class and shall notify each of Seller and Buyer via Electronic


                                      -23-


<PAGE>


            Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm receipt" or by some other
            means such that Disbursement Agent has a reasonable belief that such
            notice has been received by the addressee) of any Fatal Information
            Exception, and such Transaction Request shall be deemed to be null
            and void.

                  (C) Upon a determination that there is no Fatal Information
            Exception as set forth in clause (i) of the definition thereof,
            Disbursement Agent shall calculate the Purchase Price and Pricing
            Rate for each Eligible Asset to be purchased by Buyer pursuant to
            the Transaction Request using the information set forth in the
            Customer Profile. If the values calculated by Disbursement Agent do
            not match the values set forth in the related Transaction Request by
            Seller, Disbursement Agent shall notify each of Seller and Buyer via
            Electronic Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm receipt" or by
            some other means such that Disbursement Agent has a reasonable
            belief that such notice has been received by the addressee) of such
            Fatal Information Exception, and such Transaction Request shall be
            deemed to be null and void.

                  (D) Upon Disbursement Agent's determination that the
            Transaction Request sets forth the correct calculations of the
            related Purchase Price and Pricing Rate with respect to the
            Transaction, Disbursement Agent shall verify that, (i) after taking
            into account all purchase requests on the related Transaction
            Request, together with all other outstanding Transactions, that the
            aggregate Purchase Prices for each Class is equal to or less than
            the related Sub-Limits set forth in the Customer Profile and (ii)
            after giving effect to the requested Transaction that there would
            not be a Margin Deficit. If after giving effect to the purchases
            contemplated in the Transaction Request, the aggregate Purchase
            Prices of all such Transactions is greater than the Sub-Limits or
            the Margin Base, Disbursement Agent shall notify each of Seller and
            Buyer via Electronic Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm
            receipt" or by some other means such that Disbursement Agent has a
            reasonable belief that such notice has been received by the
            addressee) of such Fatal Information Exception, and such Transaction
            Request shall be deemed to be null and void.

                  (E) At the request of Buyer, Disbursement Agent shall verify
            the Wire Instructions set forth in the Seller Asset Schedule only to
            the extent of confirming that the Wire Instructions on the Asset
            Schedule delivered by Seller are to the DDA Account or are identical
            to the Wire Instructions set forth in the related Escrow Instruction
            Letter, Seller's Release or Warehouse Lender's Release, as
            applicable. Disbursement Agent shall be under no obligation to
            verify such wire instructions unless requested by Buyer.

                  (F) With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Check
            Funded Loan, upon a determination that giving effect to a
            Transaction Request would not cause a violation of any Sub-Limit or
            cause a Margin Deficit and receipt of an Asset Schedule and
            Exception Report from Custodian in accordance with Section 3 and
            receipt of the Fatal Document Exception Report, if any, from
            Custodian in accordance with Section 3, Disbursement Agent shall


                                      -24-


<PAGE>


            disburse funds in accordance with Section 11(d)(i). The disbursing
            of funds by Disbursement Agent shall constitute Disbursement Agent's
            certification that no Fatal Exception exists with respect to any
            Eligible Asset (or, with respect to a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, no
            Fatal Information Exception exists) funded pursuant to this Section
            11(c)(i)(F).

                  (G) With respect to each Check Funded Loan, upon (i) a
            determination that giving effect to a Transaction Request would not
            cause a violation of any Sub-Limit or cause a Margin Deficit, (ii)
            receipt of an Asset Schedule and Exception Report from Custodian in
            accordance with Section 3, (iii) receipt of the Fatal Document
            Exception Report, if any, from Custodian in accordance with Section
            3, and (iv) receipt from Seller of a Check Funding Schedule,
            Disbursement Agent shall on each Check Presentation Date (1) verify
            that checks in excess of the original principal balance with respect
            to any Check Funded Loan were not presented for payment and (2)
            determine the related Buyer Funded Amount. On the Check Presentation
            Date, in accordance with the Check Disbursement Agreement, on or
            prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, the Check Disbursement Bank
            shall deliver electronically to Disbursement Agent, Buyer and Seller
            the Check Presentment Report. Upon receipt of each Check Presentment
            Report, with respect to all checks listed on such Check Funding
            Schedule, Seller shall determine (i) the aggregate difference
            ("Seller Funded Amount") between the Purchase Price for the related
            Check Funded Loans and the amounts necessary to clear all such
            checks and (ii) the difference between the aggregate Buyer Funded
            Amount for such Check Funded Loan and the aggregate amount needed to
            fund all checks on such Check Presentation Date (the "Total Required
            Funds"). Upon receipt of the Seller Funded Amount and the Additional
            Seller Funded Amount, the Disbursement Agent shall disburse funds in
            accordance with Section 11(d)(ii). The disbursing of funds by
            Disbursement Agent shall constitute Disbursement Agent's
            certification that no Fatal Information Exception exists with
            respect to any Check Funded Loan funded pursuant to this Section
            11(c)(i)(G). No later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Check
            Reconciliation Date, pursuant to the Check Disbursement Agreement,
            Check Disbursement Bank shall make available to Disbursement Agent
            any Check Funding Exceptions with respect to a check or a Check
            Funded Loan. Disbursement Agent shall review all Check Funding
            Exceptions received as of 11:00 a.m. New York time and notify Buyer
            via Electronic Transmission of any Check Funding Exceptions prior to
            1:00 p.m. New York time. Unless Buyer shall have notified
            Disbursement Agent in writing on or prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time
            that Disbursement Agent shall not issue a "no pay" instruction on
            any related check, Disbursement Agent shall issue a "no pay"
            instruction on any check with a Check Funding Exception except in
            the case of "Stop Suspect" Check Funding Exceptions, which
            Disbursement Agent shall not stop payment on unless notified by
            Seller or Buyer. At the request of Buyer, Disbursement Agent shall


                                      -25-


<PAGE>


            view the image of a check and verify that the payee set forth on the
            Check Funding Schedule matches the payee on such imaged check.
            Disbursement Agent shall track each check funded on respect of a
            Check Funded Loan and notify Buyer, pursuant to the Daily Report,
            when each check with respect to a Check Funded Mortgage Loan has
            been paid.

            (ii) Conversion of a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan. On the date that
      Custodian receives a Seller Asset Schedule containing the information set
      forth on Annex 1 and all the documents set forth in Section 2(b) with
      respect to each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3(a), Custodian
      shall deliver an Asset Schedule and Exception Report to each of Buyer and
      Disbursement Agent in accordance with Section 3(a). Upon Disbursement
      Agent's receipt of such Asset Schedule and Exception Report, Disbursement
      Agent shall perform the procedures set forth in Section 11(c)(i)(A)-(E) as
      if such conversion were a purchase of an Eligible Asset and if there are
      no Fatal Exceptions with respect to such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, the
      related Mortgage Loan shall no longer be a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan.

            (iii) Request for Additional Transactions for Excess Margin. Upon
      Disbursement Agent's receipt of any Request for Additional Transactions
      for Excess Margin, Disbursement Agent shall perform the procedures set
      forth in Section 11(c)(i)(C) and (D) as if such request were a Transaction
      Request. Pursuant to Section 11(b) herein, Disbursement Agent shall
      utilize the most recently delivered Customer Profile in connection with
      such Request for Additional Transactions for Excess Margin. If, after
      performing such procedures, Disbursement Agent determines that giving
      effect to any such Request for Additional Transactions for Excess Margin
      would not cause a violation of any Sub-Limits or cause a Margin Deficit,
      Disbursement Agent shall fund any amounts required pursuant to Section
      11(d)(iv). The disbursing of funds by Disbursement Agent shall constitute
      Disbursement Agent's certification that no Fatal Exception exists with
      respect to any Eligible Asset (or, with respect to a Wet-Ink Mortgage
      Loan, no Fatal Information Exception exists).

            (d) Disbursements. If at any time Disbursement Agent is unable to
calculate the Purchase Prices in respect of disbursements to be made pursuant to
this Section 11(d) as a result of technical difficulties or otherwise, upon
written notice from Disbursement Agent to Buyer and Seller, Disbursement Agent
may request such information from Buyer. Additionally, if at any time Buyer
disputes Disbursement Agent's or Seller's calculation of the Purchase Prices in
respect of disbursements to be made pursuant to this Section 11(d), upon written
notice from Buyer to Disbursement Agent and Seller, Disbursement Agent shall not
disburse funds as provided in this Section 11(d) until such dispute is resolved.

            (i) Disbursement in Respect of Purchases of Eligible Assets. On each
      proposed Purchase Date, Disbursement Agent will disburse funds in the
      Disbursement Account in accordance with the Wire Instructions in the
      Seller Asset Schedule within 2 hours of a final Transaction Request but in
      no event later than 5:15 p.m. New York time, provided that (A)
      Disbursement Agent shall have performed the procedures set forth in
      Section 11(c) and all conditions to disbursement set forth therein shall
      have been satisfied; (B) sufficient funds exist in the Disbursement


                                      -26-


<PAGE>


      Account (taking into account amounts required to be transferred from the
      related Wire-out Account pursuant to Section 11 (a)(ii)); (C) such
      instructions do not include Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as payee,
      unless otherwise authorized by Buyer in writing to Disbursement Agent; and
      (D) if a conflict exists between the instructions of Buyer and the
      instructions of Seller, Disbursement Agent shall follow Buyer's
      instructions. In the event that the funds maintained in the related
      Wire-out Account are not sufficient to permit the funding of the full Wire
      Amount for any Eligible Asset, no funds shall be disbursed from the
      Disbursement Account to fund or acquire such Eligible Asset.

            (ii) Disbursements in Respect of Check Funded Loans. On each Check
      Presentation Date, Disbursement Agent will disburse funds in the
      Disbursement Account to the DDA Account by 5:15 p.m. New York time,
      provided that (A) Disbursement Agent shall have performed the procedures
      set forth in Section 11(c) and all conditions to disbursement set forth
      therein shall have been satisfied; and (B) sufficient funds exist in the
      Disbursement Account (taking into account amounts required to be
      transferred from the related Wire-out Account pursuant to Section 11
      (a)(ii)). In the event that the funds maintained in the related Wire-out
      Account are not equal to the Total Required Funds for such Check
      Presentation Date, Disbursement Agent should disburse funds in accordance
      herewith and notify each of the Buyer and Seller of such shortfall via
      Electronic Transmission (which shall be sent "confirm receipt" or by some
      other means such that Disbursement Agent has a reasonable belief that such
      notice has been received by the addressee).

            (iii) [Reserved]

            (iv) Disbursements in Respect of Requests for Additional
      Transactions for Excess Margin. On the Business Day that Disbursement
      Agent determines that the provisions of Section 11(c)(iii) have been
      satisfied with respect to any Request for Additional Transactions for
      Excess Margin, Disbursement Agent shall withdraw from the Disbursement
      Account and credit to the Wire-out Account an amount equal to the
      requested amount of the Excess Margin.

            (e) [Reserved]
                 --------

            (f) Settlement. On the Business Day prior to the date on which
Seller intends to or is required to repurchase an Eligible Asset pursuant to the
terms of the Repurchase Agreement (or a third party purchases such Eligible
Asset), Seller shall provide Disbursement Agent and Buyer with written notice of
all funds anticipated to be received by Disbursement Agent from Seller (or such
third party) for the credit of the Settlement Account, together with a
settlement report containing all information set forth on Annex 17 hereto (the
"Settlement Report") by 5:00 p.m. New York time. Upon Disbursement Agent's
verification that (x) all information required pursuant to Annex 17 hereto is
set forth in the Settlement Report, and (y) Buyer has confirmed the accuracy of
such Settlement Report in writing, which confirmation may be delivered via
Electronic Transmission, Disbursement Agent shall immediately disburse such
funds in the Settlement Account as directed in the Settlement Report provided
(i) sufficient funds exist in the Settlement Account, (ii) after giving effect
to such repurchase, a Margin Deficit would not exist and there would be no
violation of any Sub-Limits and (iii) Buyer has not disputed such disbursement


                                      -27-


<PAGE>


prior to such disbursement. If all amounts required to be disbursed to Buyer
pursuant to the Settlement Report are not deposited in the Settlement Account by
5:30 p.m. New York time on the date indicated as the "Settlement Date" in the
Settlement Report, Disbursement Agent shall notify each of Custodian, Seller and
Buyer and it shall be deemed to constitute an Event of Default under the
Repurchase Agreement and satisfy all notice requirements of Buyer with respect
to an Event of Default and Custodian and Seller shall treat such notice as a
notice of an Event of Default from Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if sufficient funds are not deposited in the Settlement Account in
accordance with the preceding sentence on any "Settlement Date" and there are
funds on deposit in the Wire-out Account, Seller hereby agrees that, and
Disbursement Agent shall, transfer from the Wire-out Account to the Settlement
Account no later than 5:30 p.m. New York time on such date an amount equal to
the lesser of (x) all amounts on deposit in the Wire-out Account and (y) such
shortfall. If such transferred funds are sufficient to pay all amounts required
to be paid to Buyer pursuant to the Settlement Report, no Event of Default shall
be deemed to have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a conflict exists
between the instructions of Buyer and the Settlement Report, Disbursement Agent
shall follow Buyer's instructions.


            (g) Reports; Monitoring.

            (i) On each Business Day, Disbursement Agent shall provide to Buyer
      a reconciliation report with respect to all cash activity in each
      Transaction Account. Additionally, upon request Disbursement Agent shall
      provide to Seller a reconciliation report with respect to all cash
      activity on the Wire-out Account and the Settlement Account.

            (ii) No later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on each Business Day,
      Disbursement Agent shall provide to Buyer a daily report setting forth
      such information as may reasonably be required by Buyer (a "Daily
      Report").

            (iii) Upon request of Buyer, Disbursement Agent shall provide to
      Seller a Daily Report reflecting the information set forth thereon as of
      the time of the transmission of such report.

            (iv) Disbursement Agent shall provide to Buyer any reports with
      respect to any aspect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
      to the extent the requested information is, or should be, in the
      possession of Disbursement Agent, as Buyer may request.

            (v) Disbursement Agent shall track and monitor all information
      required to be provided to any party hereunder pursuant to any report
      required to be delivered hereunder, including but not limited to, (A) all
      amounts funded in respect of any Mortgage Loan, including, without
      limitation, the Purchase Price, (B) the date such funds were disbursed,
      (C) all amounts due to Buyer in respect of the Periodic Advance Repurchase
      Payment, (D) the amount of any distribution in connection with any Request
      for Additional Transactions for Excess Margin, (E) all Purchased Assets
      and the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Prices in respect thereof and (F)
      the amount of any Margin Deficit or Excess Margin.


                                      -28-


<PAGE>


            (vi) Disbursement Agent shall provide all information in its
      possession to Custodian, to the extent Custodian requests, in order to
      permit Custodian to comply with its requirements under this Agreement,
      including, but not limited to, the preparation and delivery of each
      updated Asset Schedule, Exception Report and Fatal Exception Report.

            (h) Income Payment Dates. Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller
intend that the Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement and hereunder to be
sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, Seller shall deposit into the Settlement
Account the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment on each Payment Date. On each
Payment Date, Buyer shall forward to Disbursement Agent a payment date report in
the form set forth on Annex 19 hereto (a "Payment Date Report"). Disbursement
Agent shall verify that all amounts required to be paid to Buyer pursuant to the
Payment Date Report are deposited into the Settlement Account on each Payment
Date. If such amounts are not deposited into the Settlement Account on or prior
to 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Payment Date, Disbursement Agent shall notify
each of Custodian, Seller and Buyer and it shall be deemed to constitute an
Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement and satisfy all notice
requirements of Buyer with respect to an Event of Default and Custodian and
Seller shall treat such notice as a notice of an Event of Default from Buyer.

            (i) Set-off. Custodian and Disbursement Agent agree that they shall
not exercise any right of set-off, banker's lien or any similar right in
connection with funds on deposit in any Transaction Account.

            (j) Fees and Expenses of Disbursement Agent.

            (i) Disbursement Agent shall charge such fees for its services under
      this Agreement as are set forth in a separate agreement between
      Disbursement Agent and Seller, the payment of which fees, together with
      Disbursement Agent's expenses in connection herewith, shall be solely the
      obligation of Seller. The failure of Seller to pay any such fees shall not
      excuse the performance by Disbursement Agent of any of its obligations
      hereunder. The obligations of the Seller to pay Disbursement Agent such
      fees and reimburse Disbursement Agent for such expenses in connection with
      services provided by Disbursement Agent prior to the termination of this
      Agreement and the earlier of the resignation or removal of Disbursement
      Agent shall survive such termination, resignation or removal.

            (ii) Seller shall be responsible for the standard fees and charges
      of Disbursement Agent applicable to each Transaction Account. To the
      extent that Seller has not paid such fees within a reasonable amount of
      time from Seller's receipt of notice of such fees and charges,
      Disbursement Agent shall provide written notice to Buyer of Seller's
      failure to pay such fees and Buyer shall have the option, in its sole
      discretion, to cure such failure.

            (k) In performing its obligations under this Section 11, except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, Disbursement Agent will not follow
instructions from any party other than Buyer.

            Section 12. No Adverse Interest.
                        -------------------

            By execution of this Agreement, each of Disbursement Agent and
Custodian represent and warrant that it currently holds, and during the
existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security
or otherwise, in any Mortgage Loan, and hereby waives and releases any such
interest which it may have in any Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof. The
Mortgage Loans shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right to
set-off by Custodian, Disbursement Agent or any third party claiming through
Custodian or Disbursement Agent, and neither Custodian nor Disbursement Agent
shall pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant
any third party interest in, the Mortgage Loans.

            Section 13. Indemnification.
                        ---------------

            (a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Custodian, Disbursement
Agent and their affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees harmless
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including
reasonable attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any action taken or not taken by it or them hereunder unless such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgements, suits, cost,
expenses or disbursements were imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Custodian or Disbursement Agent because of the breach by Custodian or
Disbursement Agent, as applicable, of its obligations hereunder, which breach
was caused by negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part
of Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable or any of its respective
directors, officers, agents or employees. Each of Disbursement Agent and
Custodian agree that it will promptly notify Seller of any such claim, action or
suit asserted or commenced against it and that Seller may assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Disbursement Agent or Custodian,
as applicable, at Seller's sole expense, that Custodian or Disbursement Agent,
as applicable, will cooperate with Seller on such defense, and that Custodian or
Disbursement Agent, as applicable, will not settle any such claim, action or
suit without the consent of Seller. The foregoing indemnification shall survive
any resignation or removal of Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable, or
the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

            (b) In the event that Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Note,
Assignment of Mortgage or any other document related to a Mortgage Loan that was
in its possession pursuant to Section 2 within two (2) Business Days after
required or requested by Seller or Buyer, and provided that (i) Custodian
previously delivered to Buyer an Asset Schedule and Exception Report which did
not list such document as an Exception on the related Purchase Date; (ii) such
document is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt in the
form annexed hereto as either Annex 5-A or Annex 5-B; and (iii) such document
was held by Custodian on behalf of Seller or Buyer, as applicable (a "Custodial
Delivery Failure"), then Custodian shall (a) with respect to any missing
Mortgage Note, promptly deliver to Buyer or Seller upon request, a Lost Note
Affidavit in the form of Annex 16 hereto and (b) with respect to any missing
document related to such Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to a missing
Mortgage Note, (1) indemnify Seller and Buyer, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 13(c) below and (2) at Buyer's option, at any time the long term


                                      -30-

obligations of Custodian are rated below the second highest rating category of
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Ratings Group, a division
of McGraw Hill, Inc., obtain and maintain, at Custodian's expense, an insurance
bond in the name of Buyer, and its successors in interest and assigns, insuring
against any losses associated with the loss of such document, in an amount equal
to the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or such
lesser amount requested by Buyer in Buyer's sole discretion.

            (c) Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and Seller, and
their respective present or former affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents and representatives harmless against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or

            (d) Disbursement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and
Seller, and their respective present or former affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, agents and representatives harmless against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable

            Section 14. Reliance of Custodian.
                        ---------------------

            (a) In the absence of bad faith on the part of Custodian, Custodian
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate,
opinion or other document furnished to Custodian (including such items received
via Electronic Transmission), reasonably believed by Custodian to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming
to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of
any Mortgage Loan Document or other request, instruction, document or
certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be
furnished to Custodian, Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

            (b) Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
that are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Custodian shall have no
responsibility nor duty with respect to any Mortgage File while not in its
possession. If Custodian requests instructions from Buyer with respect to any
act, action or failure to act in connection with this Agreement, Custodian shall
be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from
acting unless and until Custodian shall have received written instructions from
Buyer with respect to a Mortgage File without incurring any liability therefor
to Buyer or any other Person.

            (c) Other than as provided herein, neither Custodian nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action or
omission to act hereunder except for its or their own negligence or lack of good
faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall Custodian or any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees have any responsibility to ascertain or
take action except as expressly provided herein.

            (d) Neither Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable to the Purchaser or any other Person with respect to
any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. The obligations of Custodian or any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement.

            (e) Custodian may consult with counsel selected by Custodian with
regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken, omitted
or suffered by Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith; provided
such action shall be in compliance with all the terms expressly provided herein.

            (f) No provision of this Agreement shall require Custodian to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability (other than
expenses or liabilities otherwise required to be incurred by the express terms
of this Agreement) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.

            (g) Any corporation into which Custodian may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which Custodian shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of Custodian shall be the successor of
Custodian hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party
hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where
an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such
succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current annex until receipt
of a superseding annex.

remedies given to Custodian, Disbursement Agent and Buyer by virtue of any

which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised
successively or concurrently without impairing Buyer's interest in the Purchased

applicable. All rights of Custodian, Disbursement Agent and Buyer under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Custodian, Disbursement Agent and Buyer
and their successors and permitted assigns, and all obligations of Seller shall

            Section 22. Entire Agreement; Severability.
                        ------------------------------

            This Agreement, the Edit Check Agreement and the Repurchase
Agreement contain the entire agreement with respect to the rights and
obligations of Custodian and Disbursement Agent relating to the Purchased Assets
among Custodian, Disbursement Agent, Buyer and Seller. If any of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall
be construed as if not containing such provisions, and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

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

            This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

            Section 24. Tax Reports.
                        -----------

            Custodian shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of
any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with
respect to this Agreement, other than in respect of Custodian's compensation or
for reimbursement of expenses.

            Section 25. Assignment by Buyer.
                        -------------------

            Buyer hereby notifies Custodian that Buyer may assign, as of the
applicable Purchase Date, all of its right, title and interest in and to some or
all of the Purchased Assets to a third party assignee (an "Assignee"), subject
only to an obligation on the part of the Assignee to release its interest in
each such Purchased Asset to Buyer to permit Custodian, Buyer or its designee to
make delivery thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller
hereby irrevocably consents to any such assignment. Subject to any limitations
in any agreement between the Assignee and Buyer, the Assignee may, upon notice
of Buyer's default, directly enforce and exercise such rights under this
Agreement that have been assigned or pledged to it and, until otherwise notified
by the Assignee, Buyer shall no longer have any of such rights. Custodian shall
assume that any assignment from Buyer to the Assignee is subject to no
limitations that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

            Section 26. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.
                        -----------------------------------

            EACH OF BUYER, SELLER, CUSTODIAN AND DISBURSEMENT AGENT HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

            (a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, OR FOR
RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE
GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE
BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;


                                      -34-


<PAGE>


            (b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN
SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY
SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

            (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR
ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET
FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH EACH OTHER
PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED;

            (d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT
TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND

            (e) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR

            Section 27. Confidentiality.
                        ---------------

            Each of Custodian and Disbursement Agent hereby acknowledges and
agrees that (i) all written or computer-readable information provided by Buyer
or Seller regarding Buyer or Seller and (ii) the terms of this Agreement and the
Repurchase Agreement (the "Confidential Information"), shall be kept
confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the parties
hereto without Buyer's and Seller's prior written consent except to the extent
that (i) Custodian or Disbursement Agent reasonably deems necessary to do so in
working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental
agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal
or state laws, (ii) any portion of the Confidential Information is in the public
domain other than due to a breach of this covenant by the Custodian or the
Disbursement Agent, as the case may be, or by the disclosing party or (iii) to
the extent that Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable, is required to
disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of any legal
proceeding, Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable, shall notify Buyer
and Seller within one Business Day of its knowledge of such legally required
disclosure so that Buyer or Seller may seek an appropriate protective order
and/or waive Custodian's or Disbursement Agent's compliance, as applicable, with
this Agreement. Notice shall be both by telephone and in writing. In the absence
of a protective order or waiver, Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable,
may disclose the relevant Confidential Information if, in the written opinion of
its counsel, failure to disclose such Confidential Information would subject
Custodian or Disbursement Agent, as applicable, to liability for contempt,
censure or other legal penalty or liability.
