     existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [_______] and
     has the corporate power to own its assets and to transact the business in
     which it is currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do
     business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each
     jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or
     properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which
     the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the
     business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the
     Servicer;

               (ii) The Servicer has the power and authority to make, execute,
     deliver and perform this Servicing Agreement and all of the transactions
     contemplated under this Servicing Agreement, and has taken all necessary
     corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
     this Servicing Agreement. When executed and delivered, this Servicing
     Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
     Servicer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of
     such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
     affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the
     availability of equitable remedies;

               (iii) The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any
     other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
     registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or
     agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
     enforceability of this Servicing Agreement, except for such consent,
     license, approval or authorization, or registration or declaration, as
     shall have been obtained or filed, as the case may be;

               (iv) The execution and delivery of this Servicing Agreement and
     the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Servicer
     will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any
     order or decree of any court applicable to the Servicer or any provision of
     the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Servicer, or constitute a
     material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to
     which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer may be bound; and

               (v) No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any
     court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
     knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its

     Certificates which in the opinion of the Servicer has a


                                       -3-

<PAGE>



     reasonable likelihood of resulting in a material adverse effect on the
     transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement.

     The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive any termination
of the Servicer hereunder.

     Section 2.02 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company
hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer for the benefit of the Indenture
Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral, and the Securityholders, as of
the Cut-Off Date, the Closing Date and any Deposit Date, that:

               (i) The Company is a corporation in good standing under the laws
     of the State of Delaware;

               (ii) The Company has full power, authority and legal right to
     execute and deliver this Servicing Agreement and to perform its obligations
     under this Servicing Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to
     authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Servicing
     Agreement; and

               (iii) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Servicing
     Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this
     Servicing Agreement will not violate any provision of any law or regulation
     governing the Company or any order, writ, judgment or decree of any court,
     arbitrator or governmental authority or agency applicable to the Company or
     any of its assets. Such execution, delivery, authentication and performance
     will not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of
     notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other
     action with respect to, any governmental authority or agency regulating the
     activities of limited liability companies. Such execution, delivery,
     authentication and performance will not conflict with, or result in a
     breach or violation of, any mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other
     agreement or instrument to which the Company is bound.

     Section 2.03 ENFORCEMENT OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Servicer,
on behalf of and subject to the direction of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee
of the Mortgage Collateral, or the Credit Enhancer, shall enforce the
representations and warranties of the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. Upon the discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer, the Company or any Custodian of a breach
of any of the representations and warranties made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Credit Enhancer, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
(any Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Servicer
shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and request that, pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller either (i) cure
such breach in all material respects within 45 days (with respect to a breach of
the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(a) of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement) or 90 days (with respect to a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement) from the date the Seller was notified of such breach or (ii)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Company at the


                                       -4-

<PAGE>



price and in the manner set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement; PROVIDED that the Seller shall, subject to the conditions
set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, have the option to substitute
an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan. In the
event that the Seller elects to substitute one or more Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Seller shall deliver to the Company with respect to such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be transferred
to the Company and will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer
to the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date provided a payment has been
received by the Company for such month in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be
removed. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Mortgage Loan and the substitution of
the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Servicer shall promptly deliver
the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.

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

                                   ARTICLE III

                 Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

     Section 3.01 THE SERVICER. (a) The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in the same manner as would prudent institutional mortgage
lenders servicing comparable mortgage loans for their own account in the
jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located and in a manner
consistent with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and which shall be normal
and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and shall have full power
and authority, acting alone or through a subservicer, to do any and all things
in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary
or desirable, it being understood, how ever, that the Servicer shall at all
times remain responsible to the Company, the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of
the Mortgage Collateral, and the Securityholders for the performance of its
duties and obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and the
servicing standard set forth above. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Company and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral,
to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Company, the Securityholders
and the Indenture Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties. The Company, the Indenture Trustee and the
Custodian, as applicable, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. On the Closing Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney substantially in the
form of Exhibit B hereto.

     If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan did not have a lien senior on
the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Servicer, in
such capacity, may not consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the
Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgage relating to a
Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mort gaged
Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may
consent to the refinancing of such senior lien; PROVIDED that (i) the resulting
Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the
Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing and (ii) the interest
rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien on the date of such
refinancing is no higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the
existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing.

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

     (b) The Servicer has entered into Initial Subservicing Agreements with the
Initial Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
and may enter into additional Sub servicing Agreements with Subservicers for the
servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage Loans. References in
this Servicing Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in
servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a


                                       -6-

<PAGE>



Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer and any amount received by such
Subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been received
by the Servicer whether or not actually received by the Servicer. Each
Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not
inconsistent with this Servicing Agreement and as the Servicer and the
Subservicer have agreed. With the approval of the Servicer, a Subservicer may
delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such
Subservicers will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreements.
The Servicer and the Subservicer may enter into amendments to the related
Subservicing Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such amendments shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Servicing Agreement. The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance
with the terms and conditions thereof and without any limitation by virtue of
this Servicing Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event of termination of
any Subservicing Agreement by the Servicer or the Subservicer, the Servicer
shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the
terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to
enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer
and nothing contained in this Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.

     In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the Servicer are
terminated hereunder, any successor to the Servicer in its sole discretion may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the existing Subservicing
Agreement with any Subservicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Subservicing Agreement or assume the terminated Servicer's rights and
obligations under such subservicing arrangements which termination or assumption
will not violate the terms of such arrangements.

     As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Company, shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations
of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that
the non-performance of any such obligation would have material and adverse
effect on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed.

     Section 3.02 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS. (a) The Servicer
shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures
shall be consistent with this Servicing Agreement, follow such collection
procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities. Consistent with the foregoing, and without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge, penalty interest or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary
course of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a
schedule for the payment of principal and interest due and unpaid; PROVIDED such


                                       -7-

<PAGE>



arrangement is consistent with the Servicer's policies with respect to home
equity mortgage loans; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that notwithstanding such arrangement
such Mortgage Loans will be included in the information regarding delinquent
Mortgage Loans set forth in the Servicing Certificate. The Servicer may also
extend the Due Date for payment due on a Mortgage Loan, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or extension will not
adversely affect the lien of the related Mortgage. Consistent with the terms of
this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term
of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with
any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the
Servicer's determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Securityholders or the Credit
Enhancer, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer may not modify or permit any
Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan (including without limitation any
modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any
principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan) or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan) unless
such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such
default is reasonably foreseeable.

     (b) The Servicer shall establish an account (the "Collection Account") in
which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited any amounts
representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans
received by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date as to any Initial Loan or the
related Deposit Date as to any Additional Loan (other than in respect of the
payments referred to in the following paragraph) within __ Business Day[s]
following receipt thereof (or otherwise on or prior to the Closing Date),
including the following payments and collections received or made by it (without
duplication):

               (i) all payments of principal of or interest on the Mortgage
     Loans received by the Servicer from the respective Subservicer, net of any
     portion of the interest thereof retained by the Subservicer as Subservicing
     Fees;

               (ii) the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans
     purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.15;

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

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

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

               (vi) amounts required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to
     Section 8.08.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to each Collection Period, the Servicer
shall be permitted to retain from payments in respect of interest on the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee for such Collection Period. The foregoing
requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are


                                       -8-

<PAGE>



exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts
representing Foreclosure Profits, fees (including annual fees) or late charge
penalties, payable by Mortgagors, or amounts received by the Servicer for the
accounts of Mortgagors for application towards the payment of taxes, insurance
premiums, assessments and similar items. In the event any amount not required to
be deposited in the Collection Account is so deposited, the Servicer may at any
time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. The Collection Account may contain funds that
belong to one or more trust funds created for the notes or certificates of other
series and may contain other funds respecting payments on mortgage loans
belonging to the Servicer or serviced or serviced by it on behalf of others.
Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Servicer shall keep records that
accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Collection Account that have been
identified by it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans and shall hold all
collections in the Collection Account to the extent they represent collections
on the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Company, the Indenture Trustee, the
Securityholders and the Credit Enhancer, as their interests may appear. The
Servicer shall remit all Foreclosure Profits to itself as additional servicing
compensation.

     The Servicer may cause the institution maintaining the Collection Account
to invest any funds in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments (including
obligations of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if such obligations
otherwise qualify as Eligible Investments), which shall mature not later than
the Business Day next preceding the Payment Date and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity. Except as provided above, all income and gain
realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and
shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of the principal amount of any such investments shall
be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized.

     (c) The Servicer will require each Subservicer to hold all funds
constituting collections on the Mortgage Loans, pending remittance thereof to
the Servicer, in one or more accounts meeting the requirements of an Eligible
Account, and invested in Eligible Investments, unless, all such collections are
remitted on a daily basis to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account.

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

               (i) to deposit in the Distribution Account, on the Business Day
     prior to each Payment Date, an amount equal to the Security Collections
     required to be distributed on such Payment Date;

               (ii) to the extent deposited to the Collection Account, to
     reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed
     expenses incurred in maintaining individual insurance policies pursuant to
     Section 3.04, or Liquidation Expenses, paid pursuant to Section 3.07 or
     otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement
     (to the extent not payable pursuant to Section 3.09), such withdrawal right
     being


                                       -9-

<PAGE>



     limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans (other than any
     Repurchase Price in respect thereof) which represent late recoveries of the
     payments for which such advances were made, or from related Liquidation
     Proceeds or the proceeds of the purchase of such Mortgage Loan;

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

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

               (v) to the extent deposited in the Collection Account, to pay to
     itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure Profits;

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

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

               (viii) to pay to the Seller the amount, if any, deposited in the
     Collection Account by the Indenture Trustee upon release thereof from the
     Funding Account representing payments for Additional Loans; and

               (ix) after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to pay to the
     Seller, the Excluded Amount.

Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv), (vi) and
(vii), the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other
recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain
separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose
of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such
clauses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Servicing Agreement, the
Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed
expenses incurred pursuant to Section 3.07 or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to
the terms of this Servicing Agreement that the Servicer determines to be
otherwise nonrecoverable (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which
the Repurchase Price has been paid), by withdrawal from the Collection Account
of amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans on any Business
Day prior to the Payment Date succeeding the date of such determination.

     Section 3.04 MAINTENANCE OF HAZARD INSURANCE; PROPERTY PROTECTION EXPENSES.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard
insurance naming the Servicer or related Subservicer as loss payee thereunder
providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage
Loan from time to time or (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such
Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan from time to
time. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the
amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained
in the related hazard insurance policy. Amounts collected by the Servicer under
any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released
to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section
3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located at any time during the
life of a Mortgage Loan in a federally designated flood area, the hazard
insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood
insurance (to the extent available). All such flood insurance shall be in
amounts equal to the lesser of (i) the amount required to compensate for any
loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis and (ii)
the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program). The
Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain
earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself
to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a
Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If
the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy consistent with its
general mortgage servicing activities insuring against hazard losses on all of
the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.04, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of
this Section 3.04 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered
by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such
deposit by the Servicer shall be made on the last Business Day of the Collection
Period in the month in which payments under any such policy would have been
deposited in the Collection Account. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to
present, on behalf of itself, the Company, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Securityholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

     Section 3.05 MODIFICATION AGREEMENTS. The Servicer or the related
Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to (A) execute assumption
agreements, substitution agreements, and instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge, or any other document
contemplated by this Servicing Agreement and other comparable instruments with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
subject to the Mortgages (and the Company shall promptly execute any such
documents on request of the Servicer) and (B) approve the granting of an
easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the
related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters, if it has determined,
exercising its good


                                      -11-

<PAGE>



faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of
the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby. A
partial release pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be permitted only if the
Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio for such Mortgage Loan after such partial release
does not exceed the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio for such Mortgage Loan as of
the Cut-Off Date. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the related Subservicer
for processing such request will be retained by the Servicer or such Subservicer
as additional servicing compensation.

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

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

     (c) Upon Company Request accompanied by an Officers' Certificate of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 of this Servicing Agreement to the effect that
a Mortgage Loan has been the subject of a final payment or a prepayment in full
and the related Mortgage Loan has been terminated or that substantially all
Liquidation Proceeds which have been determined by the Servicer in its
reasonable judgment to be finally recoverable have been recovered, and upon
deposit to the Collection Account of such final monthly payment, prepayment in
full together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment with
respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, Liquidation Proceeds, the
Company shall promptly release the Related Documents to the Servicer, along with
such documents as the Servicer or the Mortgagor may request as contemplated by
the Servicing Agreement to evidence satisfaction and discharge of such Mortgage
Loan. If from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer requests the Company or the related Custodian
to release the Related Documents and delivers to the Company or the related
Custodian a trust receipt reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the related
Custodian and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, the Company or
the related Custodian shall release the Related Documents to the Servicer. If
such Mortgage Loans shall be liquidated and the Company or the related Custodian
receives a certificate from the Servicer as provided above, then, upon request
of the Company or the related Custodian shall release the trust receipt to the
Servicer.

     Section 3.07 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. With respect to
such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default, the Servicer
will decide whether to foreclose upon the Mortgaged Properties securing such
Mortgage Loans or write off the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
as bad debt; PROVIDED that if the Servicer has actual knowledge that any
Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or substances and
that the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property would not be commercially
reasonable, then the Servicer will not cause the Company to acquire title to
such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such
practices (including, in the case of any default on a related senior mortgage
loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and procedures as it shall
deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities; PROVIDED that the Servicer shall not be liable in
any respect hereunder if the Servicer is acting in connection with any such
foreclosure or attempted foreclosure which is not completed or other conversion
in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Servicing Agreement.
The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds in connection with any fore closure or attempted
foreclosure which is not completed or towards the correction of any default on a
related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any property unless it shall
determine that such expenditure will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds. In the
event of a determination by the Servicer that any such expenditure previously
made pursuant to this Section 3.07 will not be reimbursable from Net Liquidation
Proceeds, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of its funds so
expended pursuant to Section 3.03.

     Notwithstanding any provision of this Servicing Agreement, a Mortgage Loan
may be deemed to be finally liquidated if substantially all amounts expected by
the Servicer to be received in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage
Loan have been received; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, any subsequent collections with
respect to any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited to the Collection Account.
For purposes of determining the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds, or other unscheduled collections, the Servicer may take into account
minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be received or any estimated
additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the
related defaulted Mortgage Loan.

     In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Company and the Indenture Trustee as their interests may
appear, or to their respective nominee on behalf of Securityholders.
Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related
Mortgage Loan, such Mortgaged Property shall (except as otherwise expressly
provided herein) be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan held as an
asset of the Company until such time as such property shall be sold. Consistent
with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such
Mortgaged Property shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan it
shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the
related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note in effect
at the time of any such acquisition of title before any adjustment thereto by
reason of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar
waiver or grace period will remain in effect.

     Any proceeds from foreclosure proceedings or the purchase or repurchase of
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement, as well as
any recovery resulting from a


                                      -13-

<PAGE>



collection of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or the related
Subservicer in accordance with Section 3.07; second, to all Servicing Fees
payable therefrom; third, to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on the
related Mortgage Loan, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date prior to the
Payment Date on which such amounts are to be deposited in the Payment Account;
fourth, as a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan; and fifth, to
Foreclosure Profits.

     Section 3.08 COMPANY AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE. On or before each
Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee or the relevant
Custodian, with a copy to the Company, of the termination of or the payment in
full and the termination of any Mortgage Loan during the preceding Collection
Period, which notification shall be by a certification in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C (which certification shall include a statement to
the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02 have
been so deposited or credited) of a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of payment
in full, the Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization
contained in Section 3.01, if the assignments of Mortgage have been recorded as
required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, an instrument of
satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction
shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered
to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that any expenses
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be
reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. From time to time
and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the
Indenture Trustee or the relevant Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer
and delivery to the Indenture Trustee or relevant Custodian, with a copy to the
Company, of a Request for Release, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D,
signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Company and Indenture Trustee shall
promptly execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall
be necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other
servicing actions. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the
Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the related Custodian (as specified in
such receipt) when the need therefor by the 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 trust receipt
shall be released to the Servicer.

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

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

     Section 3.09 SERVICING COMPENSATION; PAYMENT OF CERTAIN EXPENSES BY
SERVICER. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee in
accordance with Section 3.03 as compensation for its services in connection with
servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, additional servicing compensation in the
form of late payment charges and certain other receipts not required to be
deposited in the Collection Account as specified in Section 3.02 shall be
retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of
all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account
of the Securityholders, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of
the Administrator, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and any Custodian) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.

     Section 3.10 ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. (a) The Servicer will
deliver to the Company, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to the
Credit Enhancer, on or before ________ of each year, beginning ________, ____,
an Officer's Certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of its performance under this
Servicing Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, (ii) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all its material obligations under this Servicing Agreement in all
material respects throughout such fiscal year, or, if there has been a material
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and (iii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on consultation with counsel, any continuation
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or other Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement during the preceding fiscal year which the Servicer
determined was necessary to be filed was filed in order to continue protection
of the interest of the Company in the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Servicer
shall deliver or cause each Subservicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the
Company, the Issuer, the Depositor and the Credit Enhancer a copy of each
certification, accountant's report or other document upon which the foregoing
Officer's Certificate is based with respect to such Subservicer's performance.

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

     Section 3.11 ANNUAL SERVICING REPORT. On or before ________ of each year,
beginning ________, ____, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of
nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other
services to the Servicer) to furnish a report to the Company, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Credit Enhancer and each Rating Agency to
the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to
the servicing of mortgage loans by the Servicer during the most recent calendar
year then ended under servicing agreements (including this Servicing Agreement)
substantially similar to this Servicing Agreement and that such examination,
which has been conducted substantially in compliance with the audit guide for
audits of non-supervised mortgagees approved by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development for use by independent public accountants (to the extent that
the procedures in such audit guide are applicable to the servicing obligations
set forth in such agreements), has disclosed no items of noncompliance with the
provisions of this Servicing Agreement which, in the opinion of such firm, are
material, except for such items of non compliance as shall be set forth in such
report. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating
to direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable
statements for examinations conducted substantially in the manner described
above (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. For purposes of such
statement, such firm may conclusively assume that all servicing agreements among
the Company and the Servicer relating to home equity mortgage loans are
substantially similar one to another except for any such servicing agreement
which, by its terms, specifically states otherwise.

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

     Section 3.13 MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN SERVICING INSURANCE POLICIES. The
Servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i)
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees or agents. Each such policy or policies and
bond shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or
FHLMC, whichever is greater, for Persons performing servicing for mortgage loans
purchased by such entity.

     Section 3.14 INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE GENERALLY
AND REPORTS OF FORECLOSURES AND ABANDONMENTS OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. The Servicer
shall prepare and deliver all federal and state information reports when and as
required by all applicable state and federal income tax laws. In particular,
with respect to the requirement under Section 6050J of the Code to the effect
that the Servicer or Subservicer shall make reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any mortgaged property for each year beginning in ____, the
Servicer or Subservicer shall file reports relating to each instance occurring
during the previous calendar year in which the Servicer (i) on behalf of the
Company, acquires an interest in any Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or
other


                                      -16-

<PAGE>



comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan, or

                                  The Servicer

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

     Section 6.02 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS
OF, THE SERVICER. Any corporation into which the Servicer may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be
the successor of the Servicer, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     The Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations
under this Servicing Agreement; PROVIDED that the Person accepting such
assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee (as pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral), the Company and the
Credit Enhancer, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and
delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Company an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Company, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and
punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement; PROVIDED
further that each Rating Agency's rating of the Securities in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, reduced, or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced by a
letter to such effect from each Rating Agency) or considered to be below
investment grade without taking into account the Credit Enhancement Instrument.

     Section 6.03 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SERVICER AND OTHERS. Neither
the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Company, the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders for any action taken or
for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Servicing Agreement, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect
the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director or
officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director or
officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Company
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Servicing Agreement or the Securities,
including any amount paid to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.06(b), other than any loss, liability or expense related to any
specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or
expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Servicing Agreement)

performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Servicing Agreement, and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer may in its sole discretion
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of
this Servicing Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Securityholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Company, and the Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor. The Servicer's right to indemnity or
reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive any resignation or
termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any
losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or
termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or
termination).

     Section 6.04 SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this
Servicing Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a)
the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Company, the Administrator
and the Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee
and the Credit Enhancer; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to
the Company, the Credit Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee prior to the
appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of
such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Securities; and (c) such
proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Credit Enhancer, as
evidenced by a letter to the Company and the Indenture Trustee; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until
such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Indenture Trustee, as
pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral, shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee
of the Mortgage Collateral, shall have designated a successor servicer in
accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the
Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01
and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer. The Servicer shall have no claim (whether by subrogation or otherwise)
or other action against any Securityholder or the Credit Enhancer for any
amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Servicing
Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Credit Enhancer.

     Section 6.05 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. In the ordinary course of business, the
Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person,
including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance
with standards comparable to those with which the Servicer complies pursuant to
Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities
and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.

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

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

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

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

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

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

specified in such Sections, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such
delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence
by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the
public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or
sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes,
floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer
from using reasonable efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely
manner in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and the Servicer
shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Securityholders
with notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its
efforts to so perform its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the
Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Owner Trustee in writing of any
Servicer Default.

     Section 7.02 INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) On and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01 or sends a notice pursuant to Section 6.04, the Indenture Trustee on behalf
of the Noteholders shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Servicing Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof. Nothing in this Servicing Agreement or in the Trust Agreement
shall be construed to permit or require the Indenture Trustee to (i) succeed to
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the initial Servicer in its
capacity as Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) be
responsible or accountable for any act or omission of the Servicer prior to the
issuance of a notice of termination hereunder, (iii) require or obligate the
Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, to purchase,
repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan, (iv) fund any losses on any Eligible
Investment directed by any other Servicer, or (v) be responsible for the
representations and warranties of the Servicer. As compensation therefor, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would
have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as
successor Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to
act, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Mortgage Collateral holders may (in
the situation described in clause (i)) or shall (in the situation described in
clause (ii)) appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint
any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage
loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than
$10,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all
or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder; provided that any such successor Servicer shall be acceptable to the
Credit Enhancer, as evidenced by the Credit Enhancer's prior written consent
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided further that the
appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification,
reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Securities by the Rating


                                      -27-

Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless
the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to
Section 3.09 (or such lesser compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such
successor shall agree). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect
any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this
Servicing Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer (including, without
limitation, the obligation to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01,
to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.04 or to
indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall any
successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The
Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.

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

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

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

Servicer and the Company created hereby shall terminate upon the last action
required to be taken by the Issuer pursuant to the Trust Agreement and by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture following the earlier of:

               (i) the date on or before which the Indenture or Trust Agreement
     is terminated, or

               (ii) the purchase by the Servicer from the Company of all
     Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at
     a price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the unpaid Principal Balance of
     each Mortgage Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the

The right of the Servicer to purchase the assets of the Company pursuant to
