                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of June 1,
2003 (the "Agreement"), among FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as depositor
(the "Depositor"), LITTON LOAN SERVICING LP, as servicer (the "Servicer") and
DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, as trustee (the "Trustee").


                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of fourteen
classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) the
Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class M-1H Certificates, (iv) the Class M-1A
Certificates (v) the Class M-2 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-3 Certificates,
(vii) the Class M-4A Certificates, (viii) the Class M-4F Certificates, (ix) the
Class M-5A Certificates, (x) the Class M-5F Certificates, (xi) the Class C
Certificates, (xii) the Class P Certificates, (xiii) the Class R Certificates
and (xiv) the Class R-X Certificates.

                                     REMIC 1

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat
the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Group I Mortgage Loans, the
Group II Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and any
Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts) as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of
assets will be designated as "REMIC 1." The Class R-1 Interest will represent
the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law. The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through
Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and solely for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible
maturity date" for each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests. None of the REMIC 1
Regular Interests will be certificated.

         Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of
         recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been

         certified to be a true and complete copy of the original submitted for
         recording;

         as Trustee, without recourse";

                  (iv) an original copy of any intervening assignment of

                  (v) the original or a certified copy of lender's title

                  The Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee an

                  If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii)
or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either
(x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such

deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no
later than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the
Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in
the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was
submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator,
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable

defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the
Trustee shall notify the Servicer and the Servicer (or, to the extent provided
in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Originator
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such
missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian within 90 days. If the
Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within
such time period, the Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.02, the
Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Originator to either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. In connection
with the foregoing, it is understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to
discover any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the
Mortgage Files to the extent set forth herein.



                                       53

                  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cause the Assignments which were
delivered in blank to be completed and to record all Assignments referred to in
Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv)
hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such assignments for recording
within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such Assignment is
lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as
the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage
Loan in any jurisdiction where the Rating Agencies do not require recordation in
order to receive the ratings on the Certificates at the time of their initial
issuance (which jurisdictions, as of such time of their initial issuance, are
Maryland and Florida); provided, however, each Assignment, except with respect
to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage, shall be
submitted for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the
Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction
by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights,
(ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of
a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi)
upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or
more Delinquent. In the event of (i) through (vi) set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller to
deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any
event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Seller. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments,
such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for
such expenses by the Trust. In the event an Assignment is not recorded, the
Servicer will not have any liability for its failure to act on notices that were
not received and would have been had such Assignment been recorded, except with
respect to Mortgage Loans that are subject to provisions (i) through (vi) set
forth in this paragraph, if the Servicer shall have failed to timely request the
Seller to cause such Assignments to be recorded.

                  In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of
the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall cause
(at the Seller's expense) to be completed such endorsements "Pay to the order of
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse."

                  The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of
their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the
Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for
recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of
any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by
the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original within 365 days of its submission for recordation. In the event that
the Servicer cannot provide a copy of such document certified by the


                                       54

<PAGE>



public recording office within such 365 day period, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Custodian, within such 365 day period, an Officers' Certificate of the
Servicer which shall (A) identify the recorded document, (B) state that the
recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay
caused by the public recording office, (C) state the amount of time generally
required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document
submitted for recordation, if known and (D) specify the date the applicable
recorded document is expected to be delivered to the Custodian, and, upon
receipt of a copy of such document certified by the public recording office, the
Servicer shall immediately deliver such document to the Custodian. In the event
the appropriate public recording office will not certify as to the accuracy of
such document, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of such document certified by
an officer of the Servicer to be a true and complete copy of the original to the
Custodian.

                  SECTION 2.02.             Acceptance by Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the
review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in
the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer on or prior
to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 (or to cause the
Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian to have reviewed) each
Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each Original
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify to the Depositor and the
Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45
days after the Closing Date, with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan (or,
with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of
receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days
after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage
Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(1) and (2) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set
forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such
review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or


                                       55

<PAGE>



examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and
the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not to conform with
respect to any characteristics which are within the scope of the Trustee's (or
the Custodian's, as applicable) review as provided herein, at the conclusion of
its review, the Trustee shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor, the
Originator and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or
the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the
Originator in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.

                  SECTION 2.03.   Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
                                  by the Originator.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and the Servicer shall
request that the Originator deliver such missing document or that the Originator
cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator does
not deliver such missing document or if the Originator does not cure such defect
or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer (or, to the
extent provided in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the Originator's
obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Originator
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or


                                       56

<PAGE>



prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period
(subject to Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage
Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Originator the related Mortgage File and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Originator shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Originator any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto
and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility
for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator
may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it
shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(d). In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Originator is not a
member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Originator at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System
in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Originator to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for)
any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Originator respecting
such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.

                  (b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the
Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06,
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material
respects.

                  (c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer
or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

                  (d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Originator delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the
Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an
Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment
(as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with


                                       57

<PAGE>



any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Originator. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Originator
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall give or cause to be
given written notice to the Trustee, who shall forward such notice to the
Certificateholders, that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Originator, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution.

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

                  In addition, the Originator shall obtain at its own expense
and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

                  (e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties
hereto. In connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor, as the case
may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such


                                       58

<PAGE>



repurchase or substitution shall be made (i) by the Originator if the affected
Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage
Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or
warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a) or 2.03(d), if made by the Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if
made by the Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the
Originator, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto
in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04.             Intentionally Omitted.

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

                  The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and
to the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically
provided herein:

                  (i) The Servicer is a limited partnership duly formed, validly
         existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws
         of the State of Delaware and is duly authorized and qualified to
         transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be
         conducted by the Servicer in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is
         located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect
         such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing
         business laws of any such State, to the extent necessary to ensure its
         ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan and to service the Mortgage Loans
         in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

                  (ii) The Servicer has the full power and authority to conduct
         its business as presently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and
         perform, and to enter into and consummate, all transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement. The Servicer has duly authorized the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly
         executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement, assuming due
         authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor and the Trustee,
         constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer,
         enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally and by general principles of equity;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer
         hereunder, the consummation by the Servicer of any other of the
         transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance
         with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the
         Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
         of the limited partnership agreement of the Servicer or (B) conflict
         with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a
         default under, the


                                       59

<PAGE>



         terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the
         Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or any statute, order
         or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court, regulatory body,
         administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the

         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit
         or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of

                  (xi) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge unless
         it is waived in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01;
         and

                  (xii) The Servicer has fully furnished and will continue to
         fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
         implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
         favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax,
         Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
         (the "Credit Repositories") in a timely manner.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of
the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such
discovery) to the Servicer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice
by the Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Servicer
set forth in Section 2.05(xi) above which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge,
the Servicer must pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the
benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount
into the Collection Account. The foregoing shall not, however, limit any
remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants
of the Originator made in its capacity as a party to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.

                                            the Depositor.

                  The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust and the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows:

                  (i) This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
         similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
         limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
         proceeding at law or in equity);

                   (ii) Immediately prior to the sale and assignment by the
         Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each Mortgage Loan,
         the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Mortgage Loan
         (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the Seller) subject to no
         prior lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security interest,
         pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any nature;



                                       61

                  (iii) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred
         all right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on
         behalf of the Trust;

                  (iv) The Depositor has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to
         the Trustee on behalf of the Trust with any intent to hinder, delay or
         defraud any of its creditors;

                  (v) The Depositor has been duly incorporated and is validly
         existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware,
         with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct
         its business as presently being conducted;

                  (vi) The Depositor is not in violation of its articles of
         incorporation or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance
         of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained
         in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or
         other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or
         its properties may be bound, which default might result in any material
         adverse changes in the financial condition, earnings, affairs or
         business of the Depositor or which might materially and adversely
         affect the properties or assets, taken as a whole, of the Depositor;

                  (vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated thereby, do not and will not result in a material breach
         or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or, to the knowledge
         of the Depositor, constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage,
         deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
         the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor is bound or to which
         any of the property or assets of the Depositor is subject, nor will
         such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the articles
         of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or, to the best of the
         Depositor's knowledge without independent investigation, any statute or
         any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
         body having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its properties or
         assets (except for such conflicts, breaches, violations and defaults as
         would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
         Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement);

                  (viii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge without any
         independent investigation, no consent, approval, authorization, order,
         registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental
         agency or body of the United States or any other jurisdiction is
         required for the issuance of the Certificates, or the consummation by
         the Depositor of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
         except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
         qualifications as (a) may be required under State securities or Blue
         Sky laws, (b) have been previously obtained or (c) the failure of which
         to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the performance
         by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or
         enforceability of, this Agreement; and

                  (ix) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations
         pending before or, to the Depositor's knowledge, threatened by any
         court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the Depositor
         is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject: (a) which
         if determined adversely to the Depositor would have a material adverse
         effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of
         the Depositor; (b) asserting the invalidity of


                                       62

<PAGE>



         this Agreement or the Certificates; (c) seeking to prevent the issuance
         of the Certificates or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be; or (d)
         which might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
         Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability
         of, this Agreement.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01.             Servicer to Act as Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the
extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

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

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

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

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

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) either (A)
such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would,
in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds
taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage
Loan or (B) the collection of such Prepayment Charge is prohibited by applicable
law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted by meeting the
standards described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, then as a remedy for the
breach of such covenant, the Servicer shall to pay the amount of such waived
Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates,
by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with and at the
time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be
deposited into the Collection Account. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, any payments made by the Servicer in respect of any Prepayment
Charges waived other than as permitted above shall be deemed to be paid outside
of the Trust Fund.

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.


                                       66

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, 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 the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the
Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer a limited power of
attorney in the form of Exhibit I, executed by each payee or last endorsee, as
applicable, of each of the Mortgage Notes and each mortgagee or last assignee,
as applicable, of each of the Mortgages and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their
servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, such limited powers of
attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to
the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

                  The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name,
when the Servicer believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register
any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the
registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such
assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee
for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a
result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in
connection with the MERS(R) System, shall be subject to withdrawal by the
Servicer from the Collection Account.

                  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances
shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall
not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be
added to the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would


                                       67

<PAGE>



change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Principal Balance (except for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in
the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would
both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section
1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause
any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the
startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 3.02.    Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
                                   Sub-Servicers.

                  (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing
Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under
this Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee
has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such
Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing
Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such
Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub- Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided,
further, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or
defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions of a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-


                                       68

<PAGE>



Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers
to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement
and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of
all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof,
promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01) of the Originator
and the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as
required by a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on
account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the 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
Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees
against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.01, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
against the Originator and the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the
extent it is not the Originator or the Seller and otherwise by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.03.             Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub- Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

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

                  SECTION 3.04.             Liability of the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily


                                       69

<PAGE>



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

                  SECTION 3.05.   No Contractual Relationship Between
                                  Sub-Servicers and the Trustee or
                                  Certificateholders.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee or Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

                  SECTION 3.06.   Assumption or Termination of Sub-
                                  Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section
7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the departing
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to
be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.

                  The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party. All Servicing Transfer Costs
shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust).

                  SECTION 3.07.   Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  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 Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or
interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as
"forbearance"). The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the
conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be
reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 3.08.     Sub-Servicing Accounts.

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

                  SECTION 3.09.    Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
                                   Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and
shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no
event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of
effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority
of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in
a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a
tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub- Servicing
Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant
to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with
respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article X. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a
Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing
Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance
coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the
exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know,
is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or
the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made
and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage
being imposed, the Servicer will, promptly and to the extent required to avoid
loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary
to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the
extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient,
to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the
Servicing Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, is permitted by law and such
amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other
purposes set forth above.

                  SECTION 3.10.     Collection Account and Distribution Account.

<PAGE>



                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
         and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
         accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in
         trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On
         behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
         deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
         payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
         mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
         more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
         shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more
         than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, as and
         when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
         payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
         Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the
         Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other
         than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
         Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
         Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
         Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds and
         condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any
         particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase
         of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);

                  (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
         with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
         pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
         blanket policy deductibles;

                  (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
         purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 10.01;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03;

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
         any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
         Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans; and

                  (ix) [reserved].

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing
Fees, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and


                                       73

<PAGE>



ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as
additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance
Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the
references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the
Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the
applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or
before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer,
the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such
amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  (c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give written notice to
the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.

                  (d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be
the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds
held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer,
with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from
time to time for deposit, and the Trustee, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:



                                       74

<PAGE>



                  (i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;

                  (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
         Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;

                  (iv) any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and

                  (v) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to
         the Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section
         7.02.

                  SECTION 3.11.    Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                   Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 4.04:

                  (i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
         Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
         3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
         of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for
         (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which
         represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees),
         Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with
         respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 4.04; (b) any unreimbursed Advances with respect
         to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable
         Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation
         Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage

         Advances; or (c) subject to Section 4.04(b), any unreimbursed Advances
         to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future
         distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the
         preceding Distribution Date;


                  (iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
         Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
         Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
         Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and (c) any
         Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, upon a
         Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
         Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
         Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds
         received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to
         reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in
         addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any
         interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
         Collection Account;

                  (v) to pay the Originator with respect to each Mortgage Loan
         that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03
         all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
         substitution, and to pay the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage
         Loan that has previously been purchased pursuant to Section 3.16(c) all
         amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase;

                  (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing
         Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
         Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
         4.04;

                  (vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
         Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
         Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

                  (viii) to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or
         reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;

                  (ix) [reserved];

                  (x) [reserved];

                  (xi) [reserved]; and

                  (xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant
         to Section 10.01.

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

                  The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The
Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the
next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an Officers'
Certificate in the form described under Section 4.04(d) shall suffice for such
written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without
priority:

                  (i) to make distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;



                                       76

<PAGE>



                  (ii) to pay itself the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 8.05;

                  (iii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
         Section 9.01(g);

                  (iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 10.01;

                  (v) to pay any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee
         pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to funds required
         to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 7.02 and Section 8.05;

                  (vi) to pay to the Trustee, any interest or investment income
         earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account; and

                  (vii) [reserved].

                  SECTION 3.12.  Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
                                 and the Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
         maintaining the Collection Account to invest the funds on deposit in
         such account, and the Trustee may direct any depository institution
         maintaining the Distribution Account to invest the funds on deposit in
         such account or to hold such funds uninvested (each such account, for
         the purposes of this Section 3.12, an "Investment Account"). All
         investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be in one or more
         Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
         maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
         immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
         withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person
         other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is
         managed or advised by a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate
         of the Trustee, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
         required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
         if the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed
         or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. All such Permitted
         Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
         investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name
         of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee
         of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession
         (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
         Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each
         such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any
         such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its
         agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer
         title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event
         amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in
         a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

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



                                       77

<PAGE>



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

                  (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on
         behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and
         shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11,
         Section 3.31 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit
         in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount
         of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
         Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon realization
         of such loss.

                  (c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
         Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account the
         amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
         Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon
         realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee
         may at its discretion, and without liability, hold the funds in the
         Distribution Account uninvested.

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

                  SECTION 3.13.  [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.14.  Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
                                 Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

                  (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for
any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as
is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the
related hazard insurance policy and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would


                                       78

<PAGE>



follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received
in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost
incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require any Mortgagor to obtain such additional
insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan 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).

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, 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 or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

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

                  SECTION 3.15.   Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                  Agreements.

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has actual knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or
the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its
sole business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of
the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards
and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans
owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16.     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.



                                       80

<PAGE>



                  (a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with
         the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or
         otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such
         of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to
         which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
         delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be
         responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
         proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be
         recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in
         Section 3.11(a) and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the
         provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have
         suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be
         required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
         property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such
         restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
         Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.



                                       81

<PAGE>



                  For the purposes of this Section 3.16(b), actual notice and
actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual notice to or actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer involved in the servicing of the relevant
Mortgage Loan. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge
imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information
relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.04(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan
which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.04. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting
Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.17(a),
the Trustee shall immediately deliver the Mortgage File and any related
documentation to the Servicer and will execute such documents provided to it as
are necessary to convey the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer.

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

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

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer)
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days,
release and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any
request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in
written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File to
the Servicer within three Business Days, and the Trustee shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request
for Release certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the
request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the
name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
Request for Release, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format,
from a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that
are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited,
or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall
be released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee within three Business
Days.

                  (c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the
case may be, copies of, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor


                                       83

<PAGE>



on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall
include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and
that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.

                  SECTION 3.18.             Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section
3.29 or Section 6.04, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only
to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer
shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO
Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned
on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors
or by a Sub-Servicer and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.

                  SECTION 3.19.    Reports to the Trustee; Collection
                                   Account Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward, upon request, to the Trustee and the Depositor the most
current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20.    Statement as to Compliance.



                                       84

<PAGE>



                  The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not
later than the 15th day of March following the end of each fiscal year of the
Servicer (which, as of the Closing Date, ends on the last day of December),
commencing in 2004, an Officers' Certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit P stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding year and of performance under
this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the
best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21.     Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                    Report.

                   Not later than the 15th day of March following the end of
each fiscal year of the Servicer (which, as of the Startup Day, ends on the last
day of December), commencing in 2004, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause
a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to
furnish to the Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of
representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer
which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is
fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage
loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent
certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in
accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report)
with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report,
the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating
Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.22.   Access to Certain Documentation; Filing of
                                  Reports by Trustee.

                  (a) The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee and to
any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee


                                       85

<PAGE>



of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the
offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access.

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

                  (ii) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. The
Servicer shall provide the Servicer Certification (defined in Section
3.22(b)(iii)) to the Trustee and the Depositor on March 15th of each year (which
occurs each year fifteen days prior to March 30th of such year). The Trustee
shall prepare such Form 10-K and provide the Depositor with such Form 10-K not
later than March 20th of each year. Following its receipt thereof, the Depositor
shall execute such Form 10-K and provide the original of such Form 10-K to the
Trustee not later than March 25th (or, if the applicable March 25th is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of each year; provided, however,
that if the filing of such Form 10-K shall be required to occur on a date
earlier than March 30th of each year as may be required by the Exchange Act and
the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the
time periods for preparation and execution of such Form 10-K set forth in this
sentence shall be adjusted accordingly). Such Form 10-K when filed shall include
as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under
Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described under Section 3.21, in each
case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are
not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including
such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the
Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its
own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 (the "Certification"),
which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization.

                  (iii) In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-2) for the benefit of the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the


                                       86

<PAGE>



Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as
an exhibit to the Form 10-K), and (y) the Servicer shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-3) for the benefit of the Depositor,
the Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain
aspects of items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Certification (the "Servicer
Certification").

                  In addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(b)
caused by the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith, and (B) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates
from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon (I) the failure of the Servicer to
timely deliver the Servicer Certification or (II) any material misstatement in
the Servicer Certification. If the indemnification provided for herein is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i) the Trustee
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the
Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(b) caused by the Trustee's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with
the Servicer Certification and the related obligations of the Servicer under
this Section 3.22(b).

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

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

                  (vi) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 3.22(b) comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.22(b) in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 3.22(b); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible
for executing any Form 10-K or the Certification. Any such amendment may result
in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act.

                  SECTION 3.23.    Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                   Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than


                                       87

<PAGE>



the end of the third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such
REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days
before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an
extension of such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to
three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the
Code, or cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  (b) The Servicer shall separately account for all funds
         collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO
         Property and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established
         and maintained, with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust
         for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO
         Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be
         permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account,
         subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
         be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds
         deposited in the REO Account.

                  (c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
         only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement,
         to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are
         consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates
         similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on
         such terms and for such period (subject to the requirement of prompt
         disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a))as the Servicer deems to be in
         the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
         Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing
         account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
         mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
         activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day
         after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in
         the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the
         Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues received by it with respect to
         an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
         proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property
         including, without limitation:

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

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

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



                                       88

<PAGE>



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

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:

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

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

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the REMIC, in
which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.

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

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

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

                  (3) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to
         any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the


                                       89

<PAGE>



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

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

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by
it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the
prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or
this Section 3.23(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale
for other consideration).

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

                  SECTION 3.24.    Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                   Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B) 50% of
its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Due Period. The Servicer
shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the
Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be
included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next
Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating
Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 3.25.  [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.26. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.27.   Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone or
mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of
refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may solicit any
Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of
mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or
verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan,
another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the mortgagor or the
mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates which
(i) concern optional insurance products or other additional products or (ii) are
directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass
mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio,
telephone and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under
this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited
requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor.
Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its monthly
statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements


                                       91

<PAGE>



regarding the availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to
refinancing mortgage loans.

                  SECTION 3.28.   Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Fremont Home Loan Trust 2003-2,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2003-2." On the Closing Date, the Depositor
will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account $1,000.

                  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee has been directed by
the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account the sum of (A) the excess, if any, of $1,000 over
the amount on deposit therein (exclusive of any amounts therein representing any
investment income on such reserve account) and (B) the aggregate of any Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts for the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates,
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. On each
such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and
shall distribute the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, if any, for such
Distribution Date from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to the Holders
of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(e).

                  On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net
WAC Rate Reserve Account (other than $1,000 as set forth above) after the
payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be retained in the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On the Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates have been reduced to zero, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates for
such Distribution Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Trustee
shall withdraw any amount on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account and shall distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates. In addition, upon any earlier termination of the Trust, after the
payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee shall withdraw any amount on deposit in
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and shall distribute such amount to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class C
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an "outside
reserve fund" within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). The
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of
any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Class M-1H Certificates, the Class M-1A
Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class
M-4A


                                       92

<PAGE>



Certificates, the Class M-4F Certificates, the Class M-5A Certificates and the
Class M-5F Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments
with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described in Section 4.01(d)(xii) on each Distribution Date as to which there is
any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the
Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.

                  At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class C Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to invest the
funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or
advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority
in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
invest the funds in such account in the following Permitted Investment for so
long as such Permitted Investment is managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of
the Trustee and is of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of
Permitted Investments: Deutsche Bank Treasury Money Fund No. 835.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Holders of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates to receive
payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

                  SECTION 3.29.  Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a
financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the
documentation for which complies with Section 3.29(e) below, under which (1) the
Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for
any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a
"Lender"), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in
either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other
assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may
include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances
required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of
the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the
Servicer may enter


                                       93

<PAGE>



into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a
third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the
Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an
Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A)
the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement
and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance
Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer's
Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or
otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that
may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant
of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

                  (b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the
Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee
at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance
Facility Notice"), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and
(b) the identity of the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to
Section 3.29(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and
(vii) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing
Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts"). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i)
shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof, assuming
the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and
(ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof to
the extent permitted under Section 3.29(e) below.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Facility Person, shall be entitled to receive
reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) hereof, which
entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a
written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof.
Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to
receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's
Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account
all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the
avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only
be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) clauses
(ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii) of this Agreement and shall not
otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be on
deposit in the Distribution Account or that are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to any provision hereunder, and (ii) none of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be
entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or
Servicer's Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11(a) clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b), (iii), (vi) and (vii). An Advance Facility may
be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related
Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered
to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. None of the
Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation
or payment of any Advance Reimbursement


                                       94

<PAGE>



Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the
Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor
the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance
Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify
the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund resulting
from any claim by the related Advancing Financing Person. The Servicer shall
maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a
detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged
or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Financing Person. The successor
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the
predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information.

                  (d) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or
pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose
obligations are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for
qualification as a Sub-Servicer.

                  (e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance
Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance
Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a
loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance
and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be
allocated on a "first-in, first out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee
shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to
Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such
predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such
Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person
for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent
the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to
such Advance Financing Person or Servicer's Assignee.

                  (f) For purposes of any Officer's Certificate of the Servicer
made pursuant to Section 4.04(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein
may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its
determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become
a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making
such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall
have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.

                  (g) Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.29,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent
of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01
hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each
party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The
parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or
Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person
under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only
from


                                       95

<PAGE>



the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the
Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances
financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible
for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected
by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the
Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c)
the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance
Financing Person.

Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on
such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net
income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a
delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed


                                       106

monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the
original principal amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

                  On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or
(ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future
distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Servicer in discharge of
any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future
distribution used by the Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the
preceding sentence shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records
and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before
any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for
the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made
on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would
be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not
been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer
by telecopy by the Close of Business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the
event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is
less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related
Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

                  (c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have
been recovered, or a Final Recovery Determination has been made thereon.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the
Trustee.

provided that REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the

Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount


                                       109

shall be distributed to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1P, until $100 has been
distributed pursuant to this clause.

         (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Regular
Certificate shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as
follows: first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class C

Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the
actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references
above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be
to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the
relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in
each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.

         Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class
C Certificates shall be made first by reducing the amount otherwise payable in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(xiv). No allocations of any Realized
Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A
Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

         (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have
been allocated in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTAA and
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 1
Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the

                                THE CERTIFICATES

         SECTION 5.01.              The Certificates.

         Each of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class
P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original
issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the
order of the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee
of the Trust Fund. The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall
be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage
Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $50,000 and integral dollar
multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each such
Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the
denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class P
Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates are
issuable in any Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all
such percentages for each such Class totals 100% and no more than ten
Certificates of each Class may be issued and outstanding at any one time.

         The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for
herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A Certificates
and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The other
Classes of Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.

         SECTION 5.02.  Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

         (a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate
Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for
the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the offices
of the Trustee's agent located at c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water
Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041 and, in the case of a
Residual


                                       112

<PAGE>



Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
aggregate Percentage Interest.

         At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate
Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition,
(i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange,
in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate
certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2 Interest that was evidenced by the
Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X
Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above,
such Class R-X Certificate for two separate certificates, each representing such
holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-3 Interest that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

         (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership
and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all
purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of
the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii)
the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this
Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf
by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its
agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

         All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners
that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto are
hereby authorized to execute a Letter


                                       113

<PAGE>



of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be
necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of
Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

         (c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option,
with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise the
Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar
of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the
Depositor's expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Servicer's expense, in
the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate
the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance
of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

         (d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any
such transfer, except with respect to the initial transfer of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor (i)
unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the
investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall
require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable
to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being
made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor
to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee
certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,
which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor.
The Holder of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.



                                       114

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

         No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such
transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trustee is provided with an
Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor.

         Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have
represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 90-59, 55
Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021
(July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE
2002-41 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c)
the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance
company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or
interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.

         If any Mezzanine Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation
of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the


                                       115

<PAGE>



Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of
that acquisition or holding.

         Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:

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

         (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a
      Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a PRO RATA
      undivided interest.

         (iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
      Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to
      registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and
      substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

         (A)      an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed
                  transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted
                  Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest
                  in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the
                  proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
                  Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

         (B)      a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the
                  proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the
                  transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

         (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
      Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall
      be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
      transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the
      provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate,
      then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
      Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such
      Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be
      restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
      registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall
      be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a
      Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for
      making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder
      thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
      provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee received the documents
      specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from
      any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
      Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made
      on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the
      Trustee shall be distributed


                                       116

<PAGE>



and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee.

         (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in
this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation,
without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person
having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the
sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in
connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by
the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that
the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under
this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold
a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The
terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in
the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person
having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.

         (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in
this Section, then the Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will
provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in
Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax
imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests
to disqualified organizations.

         The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to
transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i)
written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

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

         All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its
standard procedures.

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

         If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for


                                       117

<PAGE>



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

         SECTION 5.04.              Persons Deemed Owners.

         The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar,
any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including a
Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the
Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

         SECTION 5.05.              Appointment of Paying Agent.

         (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders
from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the
amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may
include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions
referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor.

         (b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all
requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of
Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

         SECTION 6.01.   Liability of the Servicer and the Depositor.

         The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent
of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by Servicer herein.
The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

         SECTION 6.02.   Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
                         Obligations of, the Servicer or the Depositor.

         Any entity into which the Servicer or Depositor may be merged or
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor Servicer.

         SECTION 6.03.     Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

         Neither the Servicer or the Depositor nor any of the directors or
officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be under
any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor in
good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or
any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason
of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder; provided, further, that this provision
shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that
amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation
Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan. 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 the Depositor, and any director or officer
or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer or the Depositor may undertake
any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this


                                       119

<PAGE>



Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the
Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section
3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account. The
Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 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). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer
solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

         SECTION 6.04.     Servicer Not to Resign.

         The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer
and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

         Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or
transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other
Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other
Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by
the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not
prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no
Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto
shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this
Agreement.

         The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the
pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all of the Servicer's right, title and
interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for
the benefit of certain lenders and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of
Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing
Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall
resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in accordance with
Section 7.02, appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor
Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.02(a) hereof and agrees to be subject to the terms of this
Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are
transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and
other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be
payable to such successor servicer.

<PAGE>



         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 set forth in 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.
Except as provided in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results
in the delegee subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its
duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer's Affiliates or their
respective successors and assigns.

         SECTION 6.06.     Reserved.

         SECTION 6.07.     Inspection.

         The Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, shall afford the Trustee,
upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records
maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder
and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon
request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee its most recent publicly
available financial statements and such other information relating to its
capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                                     DEFAULT

         SECTION 7.01.     Servicer Events of Termination.

         (a) If any one of the following events ("Servicer Events of
Termination") shall occur and be continuing:

         (i) (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance; or (B) any
      other failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account or
      Distribution Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of
      this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day
      after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been
      given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer and the Trustee by
      any Holders of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting
      Rights; or

         (ii) The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing Advance
      which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days, or the failure
      by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any
      other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in
      this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30
      days, after the date (A) on which written notice of such failure,
      requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer
      by the Trustee or to the Trustee by any Holders of a Regular Certificate
      evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) of actual knowledge of
      such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or

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

         (iv) The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the
      appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person
      in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
      liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
      relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order
      of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
      premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or
      similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
      assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
      liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer
      and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged,
      unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit
      in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
      file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
      reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
      creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

         (v) Any failure by the Servicer of the Servicer Termination Test;


                                       122

<PAGE>



         (b) then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event
of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period,
(x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by
11:00 A.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the
Servicer Remittance Date (provided the Trustee shall give the Servicer notice of
such failure to advance by 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Servicer Remittance
Date), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee, or a successor servicer
appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance
and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Servicer and (y)
in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, the Trustee shall, at
the direction of the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then given in
writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of
Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as
servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be
given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Servicer. On or after the
receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the
Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section; and, without limitation, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor
Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee
of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the
Servicer's functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to
such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to
the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be
deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO
Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this
Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall
be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the
Trust.

         SECTION 7.02.     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

         (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice
is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in
accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its
capacity as successor


                                       123

<PAGE>



Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make
advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as
successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or
documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) 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
Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is
legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall 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 $50,000,000 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 the appointment of any
such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the 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 3.18 (or such other
compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the
Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any
liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.06), 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 Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid
by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from
the assets of the Trust).

         (b) Any successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall during
the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and 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 3.14.

         (c) In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that
upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed
by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when notification of such event
shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section
7.02, appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor
Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer set
forth above (including, but not limited to the requirement that the appointment
of any


                                       124

<PAGE>



such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies) and the Servicing
Rights Pledgee or such designee agrees to be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

         (d) In connection with the resignation, removal or expiration of the
term of the Servicer hereunder, or in connection with the resignation or removal
of any successor to the Servicer (or any other successor to the Servicer
appointed hereunder) acting as successor Servicer hereunder, either (i) the
successor Servicer, (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed hereunder)
acting as successor Servicer hereunder, shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute
and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The
predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this paragraph.

         SECTION 7.03.     Waiver of Defaults.

         The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as
servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority
Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on
a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer
Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to
the Rating Agencies.

         SECTION 7.04.     Notification to Certificateholders.

         (a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer
pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.

         (b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a
Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such


                                       125

<PAGE>



an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of
such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have
been waived or cured.

         SECTION 7.05.     Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of
the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to
such termination shall survive such termination.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  THE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 8.01.     Duties of Trustee.

         The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination
and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has
knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.

         The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or other
instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements
of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders.

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

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

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

         (iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
      action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
      accordance with the direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating
      to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any


                                       127

<PAGE>



      remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any
      trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and

         (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by
      the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in
      clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any
      Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at
      the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the
      Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Depositor, the
      Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders.

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

         SECTION 8.02.     Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

         (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in
      acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers'
      Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
      instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
      bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine
      and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and
      the manner of obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of
      the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such
      reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;

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

         (iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
      rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct
      or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request,
      order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
      provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
      offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
      expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the
      right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
      Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be
      answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
      performance of any such act;



                                      128

<PAGE>



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

         (v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and
      after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have
      occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
      the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
      instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
      bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by
      the Majority Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment
      within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
      liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
      investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
      the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
      the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or
      liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of
      every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the
      Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand and, if not
      reimbursed by the Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in
      this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to
      observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
      the Mortgagors;

         (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and
      makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
      Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer
      pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of
      the Trustee as successor Servicer;

         (vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
      perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
      attorneys, custodians or nominees;

         (viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
      enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
      Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
      misconduct in the performance of such act;

         (ix) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting
      from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the REO
      Account made at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12;
      and

         (x) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation
      that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest for (i)
      serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing
      agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted
      Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain
      Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain
      Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount
      that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to Section 3.11.

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



                                       129

<PAGE>



         The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document or MERS or the MERS System other than with
respect to the Trustee's execution and authentication of the Certificates. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
Servicer. The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for
or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or
any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the
sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be
distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property;
the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if
the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02);
the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance
or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the
Depositor, the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or
representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the
accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt
of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach
thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any
loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain
responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity;
the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or
any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub-
Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer or any
Sub- Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the
Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee's duty to review the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have
become the successor Servicer).

         SECTION 8.04.     Trustee May Own Certificates.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the
Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.

         SECTION 8.05.     Trustee Fee and Expenses.



                                       130

<PAGE>



         (a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each
Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee prior to making any
distributions to Certificateholders. The Trustee, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses and
disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee, including the compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course
of the Trustee's performance in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement) incurred by the Trustee arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the
Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement for which the Trustee is
indemnified under Section 8.05(b) or (ii) any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the
Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of the Trustee's obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable
to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, in
respect of the indemnification provided by this Section 8.05(a), or pursuant to
any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account
at any time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of
the Trustee.

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

         SECTION 8.06.     Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

         The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state
thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the
initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee
to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such
state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

         SECTION 8.07.     Resignation or Removal of Trustee.



                                       131

<PAGE>



         The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer
and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or
the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor or the Servicer removes
the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

         The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by
written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and
the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a
successor trustee in accordance with this Section.

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.

         SECTION 8.08.     Successor Trustee.

         Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become
effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

         No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.



                                       132

<PAGE>



         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of
a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.

         SECTION 8.09.     Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

         Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.

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

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the
written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders
of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

         Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

         (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
      upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
      performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
      (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
      authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
      except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
      particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
      or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
      incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
      such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
      title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
      be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
      but solely at the direction of the Trustee;


                                       133

<PAGE>



         (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of
      any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

         (iii) the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any time
      accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee
      except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination,
      the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate
      trustee or co-trustee.

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

         Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co- trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.

         SECTION 8.11.     Limitation of Liability.

         The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of the
undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates
is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee
but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

         SECTION 8.12.     Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
                           Certificates.

         (a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.

         (b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer
and each Certificateholder upon reasonable prior notice during normal business
hours, access to all records

maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to
officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon request,
the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor, the Servicer and any requesting
Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall
cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer, the
Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books,
documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee's duties
hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act
by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee
under this Agreement or otherwise.

         SECTION 8.13.     Suits for Enforcement.

         In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the
Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee,
shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, or may, proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under
this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in
this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement
or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.

         SECTION 8.14.     Waiver of Bond Requirement.

         The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any
court, agency or body whatsoever.

         SECTION 8.15.     Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
                           Requirement.

         The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.

                              REMIC ADMINISTRATION

         SECTION 9.01.     REMIC Administration.

         (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be
made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information
return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which
the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each
REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.

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

         (c) The Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax
audit of any REMIC (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the
expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)
to the extent provided in Section 8.05.

         (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs'
federal and state tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as the
direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

         (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the
largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as defined
in the REMIC Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect to REMIC
1 and REMIC 2 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1 and REMIC 2. The
Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect to REMIC 3, REMIC 4,
and REMIC 5 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 3, REMIC 4, and REMIC
5. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of
each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization
and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required
by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority,
request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter
into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute
of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of
any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.



                                       136

<PAGE>



         (f) The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall
take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or
maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither
the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take
any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take
(or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if
taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such
REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on
Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of
such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicer,
or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action
could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no
such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

         (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a
Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out
of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of
other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts
otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject
to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax,
including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination that such REMIC is
domiciled in the State of California for state tax purposes by virtue of the
location of the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC
when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a
determination, in the event that the Holder of the related Residual Certificate
fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.

         (h) The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for
federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

         (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC
created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect
to eligible substitute mortgage loans.

         (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other
compensation for services.

         (k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2003, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officers'
Certificate stating the Servicer's compliance with the provisions of this
Section 9.01.


                                       137

<PAGE>



         (l) The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from
the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all
tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.

         SECTION 9.02.     Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

         Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose
of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition
pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the
Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to
Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this
Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this
Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any
investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions
to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or
substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance
will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a
REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the
regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal
on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited
transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

         SECTION 9.03.    Indemnification with Respect to Certain
                          Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

         (a) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its
status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due
to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses")
resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

         (b) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its
status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due
to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all
Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be liable for any such


                                       138

<PAGE>



Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or
the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual
Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any
action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the
express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment
of principal and interest on the Certificates).

                                   TERMINATION

         SECTION 10.01.    Termination.

         (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer,
the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the
Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final
Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the
optional purchase by the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below and
(iv) the Distribution Date in May 2033. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the
date hereof.

         The Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C
Certificates (unless any such Holder constituting such majority is the Seller,
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or an Affiliate of either of them), or if such
Holders fail to exercise such option or if any such Holder constituting such
majority is the Seller, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or an Affiliate of
either of them, the Servicer (with the written consent of the Depositor or an
Affiliate thereof, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) (either such
majority Holders or the Servicer, as applicable, the "Terminator"), may, at its
option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate of the
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled
payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received
or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the
related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balances of the Original Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date,
by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) the
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled
payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received
or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the
related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and
(ii) fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined
and as agreed upon as of the close of business on the third Business Day next
preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the
related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c) by (x) the Servicer, if
it is the Terminator, (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in
the Class C Certificates and (z) if the Class A Certificates or a Class of
Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of
the termination, the Trustee, provided that if this clause (z) applies to such
determination, such determination shall be based solely upon an appraisal
obtained as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through
the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable
to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts (the "Termination Price"); provided, however, such option
may only be exercised if the Termination


                                       140

<PAGE>



Price is sufficient to result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well
as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes
secured primarily by the Class C Certificates and the Class P Certificates and
issued by a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to the Indenture between such
issuer and the Trustee as indenture trustee. If the determination of the fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be
made and agreed upon by the Servicer, if it is the Terminator, the Holders of a
majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the Trustee as
provided in (ii) above, such determination shall be based on an appraisal of the
value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties conducted by an independent
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, if it is the Terminator, the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the
Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such appraisal shall be obtained
at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

         In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Terminator shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have
occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

         Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of
the Termination Price.

         (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Terminator, by
letter to the Certificate Insurer and to the Certificateholders mailed not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and
(3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

         (c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such
Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of
the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder,
to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage
Loans, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any
such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

         (d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all
funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by


                                       141

<PAGE>



depositing such funds in a separate Servicing Account for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to
purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall
be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders
shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.

         SECTION 10.02.    Additional Termination Requirements.

         (a) In the event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply
with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

         (i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Terminator
      shall adopt and the Trustee shall sign a plan of complete liquidation of
      each REMIC created hereunder meeting the requirements of a "Qualified
      Liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations
      thereunder; and

         (ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
      liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
      shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Terminator for cash
      pursuant to the terms of the plan of complete liquidation.

         (b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan
of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee
as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take
such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry
out such plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 11.01.     Amendment.

         This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee; and without the consent of the Certificateholders (i)
to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which
may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein (iii) to amend
the provisions of Section 3.22(b) or (iv) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such action
shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect
to which it is a Rating Agency, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall
have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation
shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such
consenting Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion
of Counsel or written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from
the Rating Agencies will be required in connection with an amendment to the
provisions of Section 3.22(b).

         In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates or distributions
which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the
Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either
(i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency)
in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage
Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required
by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of
such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such
amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.

         Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of)
the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not
result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder constituting
part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC
created


                                       143

<PAGE>



hereunder constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made
in accordance with the terms hereof.

         Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer
and each Rating Agency.

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

         The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

         SECTION 11.02.     Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

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

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

legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, or (iii)
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.

         Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an

association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to any provision hereof.

         No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood
and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

relating hereto brought in any such courts, irrevocably waives any claim that
any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in any inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object,
with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party, provided that
service of process has been made by any lawful means.

such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority.

waiver or other action by any Certificateholder shall bind every future Holder
of such Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the

                           Asset-Backed Certificates,
                                  Series 2003-2

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Fremont Home Loan Trust 2003-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2003-2 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also

Holder surrendering the same.

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

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

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of
the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Servicer may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at
a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of
(i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the Distribution Date
in [month/year].

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the

Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of
the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Servicer may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at
a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of
(i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the Distribution Date
in [month/year].

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be

of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of

duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in,
and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below or any of their respective affiliates.

         This certifies that John Draghi is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in the
interest represented by all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs in a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by
Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created

association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate
and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the
Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets
of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption
from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an

desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer

                  Section 3.05 REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 shall survive the sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With
respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to
the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Originator or as to which the
Originator has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein
of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee, designee or transferee (it being
understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
(qq), (tt), (eee), (fff) and (ggg) of Exhibit A hereto, a breach of any such
representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
assignees, designees and transferees), then notwithstanding the Originator's
lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made,
such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and
warranty and the Originator shall take such action described in the following
paragraphs of this Section 3.05 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery
by any of the Originator, the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects
the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser (it being
understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
(qq), (tt), (eee), (fff) and (ggg) of Exhibit

<PAGE>



A hereto, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and of itself
be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser
and the Purchaser's assignees, designees and transferees), the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.

                  Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Originator of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the
Originator that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or
the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser (it being understood
that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (qq), (tt),
(eee), (fff) and (ggg) of Exhibit A hereto, a breach of any such representation
or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the
interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignees, designees and
transferees), the Originator shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such
breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the
Originator shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at
the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The
Originator may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming the Originator has
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a deficient
Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its
place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If the Originator does not
provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it shall repurchase the
deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05 shall occur on a date designated by
the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section
2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution
required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  If the Originator shall fail to remedy a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator set forth in (jjj) or
(kkk) of Exhibit A hereto that materially and adversely affects the value of a
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser in the manner and within
the time periods specified herein, then upon discovery by any of the Originator,
the Seller or the Purchaser of such failure, the party discovering such failure
shall give prompt written notice to the others.

                  Upon the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
Seller of a failure of Originator to remedy a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator set forth in (jjj) or
(kkk) of Exhibit A hereto that materially and adversely affects the value of a
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser in the manner and within
the time periods specified herein, the Seller shall become obligated to remedy
the resulting breach by the Seller of the representation and warranty made by
the Seller in Section 3.04 (a) or (b), as the case may be. In connection
therewith, within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
Seller of a failure of Originator to remedy a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator set forth in (jjj) or
(kkk) of Exhibit A hereto that materially and adversely affects the value of a
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser in the manner and within
the time periods specified herein, the Seller shall use its best efforts
promptly to cure the resulting breach by the Seller of the representation and
warranty made by the Seller in Section 3.04 (a) or (b), as the case may be, in
all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at
the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). Within 90 days of the earlier
of either discovery by or notice to the Seller


                                       11

<PAGE>



of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller in Section 3.04
(c) or (d) that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or
the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall
use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and,
if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option,
repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement). The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and
assuming the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than
repurchase a deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage
Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.
If the Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it
shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty made by
the Seller in Section 3.04 (c) or (d) that materially and adversely affects the
value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the
Purchaser, if the Seller would not be in breach of such representation or
warranty but for a breach by the Originator of a representation and warranty
made by the Originator hereunder, then the Originator, and not the Seller, shall
be required to remedy such breach in the manner and to the extent set forth
herein. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.05 shall occur on a date designated by the
Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required
by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Originator or receipt of notice by the Originator of the
breach of the representation of the Originator of representation (aaa) of
Exhibit A, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders
of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Originator shall pay
the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of
the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account,
net of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in
respect of such Prepayment Charge.

                  At the time of substitution or repurchase of any deficient
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Originator shall arrange for the
reassignment of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Originator
and the delivery to the Originator of any documents held by the Trustee relating
to the deficient or repurchased Mortgage Loan. The Originator shall,
simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased hereunder, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such payment has taken place. Upon such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or
the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall effect such substitution by
delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such
other documents and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account
the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute


                                       12

<PAGE>



Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will
include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of
substitution, and the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter
be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such
substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 3.01 and 3.02.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 shall survive
delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee on behalf of the
Purchaser.

                  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Originator and/or the Seller, as applicable, set forth in this Section 3.05 to
cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and the
obligations of the Originator to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in Section
5.01 and of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in Section 5.01(f)
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective
document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to
reduce or eliminate any obligation of the Originator to the Seller with respect
to representations and warranties of the Originator or with respect to any
repurchase or other remedies required to be provided by the Originator in each
case as provided in any agreement pursuant to which the Seller purchased the
Mortgage Loans from the Originator, it being understood that such obligations
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                       ORIGINATOR'S AND SELLER'S COVENANTS

         Section 4.01 COVENANTS OF THE ORIGINATOR AND THE SELLER. The Originator
and the Seller hereby covenants that except for the transfer by the Originator
to the Seller under the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing
Agreement, dated July 1, 2002, between the Originator and the Seller (and the
Confirmations relating to the Mortgage Loans) and the transfer hereunder,
neither the Originator nor the Seller will sell, pledge, assign or transfer to
any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on
any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the Originator and the Seller will
notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence of any Lien
on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof, and the Originator and
the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Trust, as assignee
of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under the Originator or the Seller; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to
prohibit the Originator or the Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the
Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other
governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time
be due and payable or if the Originator or the


                                       13

Seller shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves
with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Purchaser may otherwise have.

                  The Seller agrees with the Originator, for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Originator and each person who controls the Originator
within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and not for the benefit of any assignee thereof or any other
person or persons dealing with the Originator, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Originator and each person who controls the Originator within the meaning of
either the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against
any failure by the Depositor to perform any of its obligations under this
Section 5.01(b). The Seller agrees that there are no conditions precedent to the
obligations of the Seller hereunder other than written demand to the Depositor
to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Derived Information"
means the information in the Prospectus Supplement that has been derived by the
Purchaser or its Affiliates or by a servicer acting on their behalf from

by the Seller of the Mortgage Loans from the Originator on the Whole Loan
Transfer Date.

                  (d) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Article V of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Article V, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Article V except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article V.

                  If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Article V for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

                  Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable


                                       16

<PAGE>



judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ
separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the
defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party,
it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all
such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the
Purchaser, if the indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the
Purchaser.

                  Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreement contained in Section 5.01(a) hereof or Section 5.01(b) hereof, as
applicable, shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party
in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with
its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any
such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to consent to a
settlement of any action, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and the indemnifying party has not
previously provided the indemnified party with written notice of its objection
to such settlement. No indemnifying party shall effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which an indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity is or could have been sought hereunder,
without the written consent of such indemnified party, unless settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
and claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

                  (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for Section 5.01(a)
above is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, the
Originator shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims,
damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement
incurred by such indemnified party in such proportion as shall be appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Originator on the one hand (from
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Seller) and the Seller, the Purchaser and
the Underwriter on the other (from the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser in the case of the Seller, from the sale of its interest in the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Prospectus in the case of the Purchaser or from
underwriting fees and discounts in the case of the Underwriter); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

                  (f) The Originator and the Seller, severally and not jointly,
agree to indemnify and to hold each of the Purchaser, the Trustee, each of the
officers and directors of each such entity and each person or entity who
controls each such entity or person and each Certificateholder


                                       17

<PAGE>



harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that the Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such person or entity and any
Certificateholder may sustain in any way (i) related to the failure of the
Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, to perform its duties in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) with respect to the
Originator, arising from a breach by the Originator of its representations and
warranties in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of this Agreement, (iii) with respect to
the Seller, arising from a breach by the Seller of its representations and
warranties in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 of this Agreement or (iv) related to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans by reason of any acts, omissions, or alleged
acts or omissions of the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, or any
servicer that serviced any such Mortgage Loan during the period in which the
Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, owned such Mortgage Loan. The
Originator and the Seller shall immediately notify the Purchaser, the Trustee
and each Certificateholder if a claim is made by a third party with respect to
this Agreement. The indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel
fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may
be entered against the Purchaser, the Trustee or any such person or entity
and/or any Certificateholder in respect of such claim.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                                   TERMINATION

         Section 6.01 TERMINATION. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Originator, the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby
shall terminate (except for (i) the Originator's and the Seller's indemnity
obligations as provided herein and (ii) the representations and warranties made
by the Originator and the Seller hereunder and the Originator's and the Seller's
obligations to remedy breaches thereof to the extent set forth herein) upon the
termination of the Trust as provided in Article X of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 7.01 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Originator, the Seller and the Purchaser, by written agreement signed by
the Originator, the Seller and the Purchaser.

         Section 7.02 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

         Section 7.03 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally
delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows: (i) if to the Originator, Fremont Investment & Loan, 175 North
Riverview Drive, Anaheim, California 92808, Attention: Steve Patton, or such
other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Originator, (ii) if to the
Seller, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., 600 Steamboat Road,
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, Attention: Legal, or


                                       18

<PAGE>



such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Seller and (iii) if to
the Purchaser, Financial Asset Securities Corp., 600 Steamboat Road, Greenwich,
Connecticut 06830, Attention: Legal, or such other address as may hereafter be
furnished by the Purchaser.

         Section 7.04 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions of terms of this Agreement shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

         Section 7.05 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         Section 7.06 FURTHER AGREEMENTS. The Originator, the Purchaser and the
Seller each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents,
instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and appropriate to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with the issuance of
any Series of Certificates representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further
inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the
Originator and the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with
the sale of any of the securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.
In that connection, the Originator and the Seller will provide to the Purchaser
any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether
through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall
reasonably request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional
representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from
auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Originator or
the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with such transactions and
the offering of investment grade securities rated by the Rating Agencies.

         Section 7.07 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. It is the intention of the
parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans rather than pledging the Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the
Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for federal income tax purposes and all other purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related
Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will
affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the
Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the
course of such review.

         Section 7.08 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Originator, the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee.



                                       19

         The obligations of the Originator and the Seller under this Agreement
cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the
Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser's sole discretion, except that
the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Originator and the Seller may
assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Originator or the
Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Seller or the Originator is a party or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller or the Originator. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose
of contributing them to a trust that will issue a series of Certificates
representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the
Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents
to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser's
rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights
relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or
exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by
the Trustee. In addition, the Originator acknowledges and consents to the
assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser's rights
against the Originator pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate
to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise
of any right or remedy against the Originator pursuant to this Agreement by the
Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the
same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised
by the Purchaser directly.

         Section 7.09 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall
survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

                                 MORTGAGE LOANS

                             AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

                                    EXHIBIT A

        Representation and Warranties with Respect to the Mortgage Loans

The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each
Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specified:

                  (a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
with respect to each Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct as of the
Cut-off Date, but only to the extent that such information is a restatement of,
or is correctly derived by the Seller or an affiliate or by the servicer thereof
from, information about such Mortgage Loan provided by the Originator or an
affiliate to the Seller or an affiliate or to the servicer thereof as of the
date with respect to each Mortgage Loan that the Originator sold such Mortgage
Loan to the Seller (the "Whole Loan Sale Date");

                  (b) [Reserved];

                  (c) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, all payments required to
be made up to the close of business on the Whole Loan Sale Date for such
Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note had been made; the Originator
has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage; and as of the Whole Loan Sale Date, there had been no
delinquency, 30 days or more, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since
the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

                  (d) To the best of the Originator's knowledge, there are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;

                  (e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the
Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been
approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and
is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver,
alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement
approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which
assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which
are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;



                                       23

<PAGE>



                  (f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set
off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right
of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;

                  (g) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer in the secondary market against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies
conforming to the requirements of the Servicing Addendum. All such insurance
policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Originator, its
successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood
Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the
requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;

                  (h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity,
fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of
mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with;

                  (i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

                  (j) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien (or if indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, second lien) on the
Mortgaged Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all
encumbrances and liens (including mechanics liens) having priority over the
first lien (or if indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, second lien) of the
Mortgage except for: (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and which


                                       24

<PAGE>



do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property and (d) the first lien on the Mortgaged Property, in the case of the
Mortgages that are second liens. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien (or
second lien if such Mortgage Loan Schedule is identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule as a second lien Mortgage Loan) and first priority (or second priority
if such Mortgage Loan Schedule is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a
second lien Mortgage Loan) security interest on the property described therein
and the Originator has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

                  (k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms;

                  (l) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;

                  (m) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage;

                  (n) Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the
Seller on the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Originator was the sole legal,
beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and had
full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Seller free and clear
of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

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

                  (p) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title
Association ("ALTA") ALTA lender's title insurance policy (which, in the case of
an Adjustable Rate Mortgage


                                       25

<PAGE>



Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1)
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(a) and
(b) above) the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first lien (or
second lien if such Mortgage Loan Schedule is identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule as a second lien Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such
lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and
from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein. The Originator is the sole insured of such
lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in
full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims are pending under
such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Originator, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

                  (q) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, there was no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration, and the Originator has not waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration other than payment
delinquencies of less than 30 days;

                  (r) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and to
the best of the Originator's knowledge as of the Closing Date, there are no
mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage that are not
insured against by the related title insurance policy;

                  (s) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

                  (t) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Originator or by a
savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;



                                       26

<PAGE>



                  (u) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first or fifteenth day of
each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate,
and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each
Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan
is as listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note does not permit
negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;

                  (v) The origination and collection practices used by the
Originator with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and
servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Originator and
any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With
respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in
the possession of, or under the control of, the Originator and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due the Originator have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments are being held by the Originator for any work on a Mortgaged Property
which has not been completed;

                  (w) To the best of Originator's knowledge, the Mortgaged
Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the
total or partial condemnation thereof;

                  (x) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged Property is
not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the
Mortgagor is not subject to protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There
is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor, as of the Whole Loan Sale
Date, has not notified the Originator and the Originator has no knowledge of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act of 1940;



                                       27

<PAGE>



                  (y) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting standards of the Originator in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan
was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to
FNMA and FHLMC;

                  (z) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (j) above;

                  (aa) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of FNMA and FHLMC and was made
and signed, prior to the funding of the Mortgage Loan application, by a
qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator, who had no interest,
direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security
thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of
the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of FNMA and FHLMC. Each
appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act

COUNTY OF        )

         The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

         1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in Class R[-X] Certificates (the "Certificate") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the "Agreement"), relating to
the above-referenced Certificates, among Financial Asset Securities Corp., as
Depositor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as Servicer (the "Servicer") and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used,
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.

         2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

         3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.

         4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will
be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass- through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person).

         5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

         6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit K to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

         7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.

         8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is _____________.

         9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701-(a)(30).

         10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

         11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on
behalf of such a plan.
