Certificates, (iii) the Class M-1 Certificates, (iv) the Class M-2 Certificates,

         As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of

                          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

         Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

         The Company, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign, transfer, sell, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and
interest of the Company in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule (exclusive of any prepayment fees and late payment charges
received thereon) and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust
Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such assignment includes all
principal and interest received by the Master Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payment of principal and interest due on or before
the Cut-off Date).

         The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of cash in an
amount equal to $159,959.50 (the "Special Deposit"), representing interest at
the Mortgage Rate, for the calendar month of February 2003, for those Mortgage
Loans which do not have Monthly Payments due on March 1, 2003. The Master
Servicer shall hold such amount in the Custodial Account and shall include such
amount in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in March
2003.

         In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Company has caused
the Seller to deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, as described in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
following documents or instruments:

         (i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed without recourse, "Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement relating to Impac Secured Assets Corp., Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2003-1" with all intervening endorsements showing an
unbroken chain of endorsements from the originator to the Person endorsing it to
the Trustee or, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the original
Mortgage Note has been permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced,
a Lost Note Affidavit;

         (ii) the original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of
the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan
if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
or, if the original Mortgage has not been returned from the public recording
office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by the Seller or the public recording
office in which such Mortgage has been recorded to be a true and complete copy
of the original Mortgage submitted for recording;

         (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System, a
duly executed original Assignment of the Mortgage, without recourse, in
recordable form to Deutsche Bank



                                       37
<PAGE>



National Trust Company, as trustee," or to "Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as trustee for holders of Impac Secured Assets Corp., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-1";

         (iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage
showing an unbroken chain of assignment from the originator thereof to the
Person assigning it to the Trustee (or to MERS, if the Mortgage Loan is
registered on the MERS(R) System and noting the presence of a MIN) or, if any
such Assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, a copy of such Assignment certified by the Seller to be a true and
complete copy of the original Assignment submitted to the title insurance
company for recording;

         (v) the original title insurance policy, or, if such policy has not
been issued, any one of an original or a copy of the preliminary title report,
title binder or title commitment on the Mortgaged Property with the original
policy of the insurance to be delivered promptly following the receipt thereof;

         (vi) a copy of the related hazard insurance policy; and

         (vii) a true and correct copy of any assumption, modification,
consolidation or substitution agreement.

         The Seller is obligated as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to deliver to the Trustee: (a)
either the original recorded Mortgage, or in the event such original cannot be
delivered by the Seller, a copy of such Mortgage certified as true and complete
by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where a copy thereof
certified by the Seller was delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause (ii)
above; and (b) either the original Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage,
with evidence of recording thereon, showing an unbroken chain of assignment from
the originator to the Seller, or in the event such original cannot be delivered
by the Seller, a copy of such Assignment or Assignments certified as true and
complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where copies
thereof certified by the Seller were delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause
(iv) above. However, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Seller need not cause to be recorded any assignment in any jurisdiction under
the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller
to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is
not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each
assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee, upon the earliest to
occur of: (i) direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25%
of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Event of Default, (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
and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one
assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating
to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.



                                       38
<PAGE>


         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Seller shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
such Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the recorded original thereof.

         If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Trustee because
of any defect therein, the Seller is required, as described in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, to prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such defect, as
the case may be, and the Seller shall cause such Assignment to be recorded in
accordance with this section.

         The Seller is required as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to exercise its best reasonable
efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee within 120 days of
the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the original or a
photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each such Mortgage Loan
assigned to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01.

         In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on
the MERS(R) System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the
Seller's own expense, as of the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to indicate
that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in
accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by
including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in
accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field
which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field "Pool Field"
which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such
Mortgage Loans. The Company further agrees that it will not, and will not permit
the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust
for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

         Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the
Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall (and the Master Servicer shall
ensure that no Sub-Servicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any
interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or cause the Trust Fund or
any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security
interest, pledge or other encumbrance.

         It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Company
to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a sale of
the Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Company to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to



                                       39
<PAGE>


the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the
event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Company, or if for
any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall
be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a security interest
in all of the Company's right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the
Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related
Insurance Policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B)
all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Company
to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Seller's right
(including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing
clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Trustee or any other agent
of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" or possession by a purchaser or a person
designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction (including, without
limitation, Sections 9-115, 9-305, 8-102, 8-301, 8-501 and 8-503 thereof); and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Company and the
Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of the Agreement.

         Section 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.

         The Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions noted in
the Initial Certification described below), 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 the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or
will hold such other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" (to the
extent delivered or assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

         The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
review or cause to be



                                       40
<PAGE>



reviewed on its behalf, each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to
ascertain that all documents required to be delivered to it are in its
possession, and the Trustee agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to the Company and the Master Servicer on the Closing
Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit C to the effect 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 such certification as not covered by
such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to
the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii)(A)
and (iv) of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. Neither the Trustee nor the Master
Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any Mortgage File should
include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 2.01.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded, or they are in recordable form or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.

         Within 90 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
the Trustee shall deliver to the Company and the Master Servicer a Final
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.

         If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and preparing the
certifications referred to above the Trustee finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any
material respect, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the Company. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such
defect and request that the Seller cure any such defect within 60 days from the
date on which the Seller was notified of such defect, and if the Seller does not
cure such defect in all material respects during such period, request on behalf
of the Certificateholders that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the
Seller was notified of such defect; provided that if such defect would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days
from the date such breach was discovered. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase
Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be
deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account and, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the
Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
require as necessary to vest in the Seller



                                       41
<PAGE>


ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related
Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of
MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS(R) System, the Master Servicer,
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.

         Section  2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
                        Servicer and the Company.

         (a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and covenants
with the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that:

                  (i) The Master Servicer is, and throughout the term hereof

Agreement by the Master Servicer, will not violate the Master Servicer's
articles of incorporation or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which,
with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it
is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets;

                  (iii) The Master Servicer has the full power and authority to
enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has
duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and

                  (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Company and the Trustee, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in
accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless
of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

                  (v) The Master Servicer is not in violation of, and its
execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with
the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any
order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation

financial condition of the Master Servicer;

                  (vi) No litigation is pending (other than litigation with
respect to which pleadings or documents have been filed with a court, but not
served on the Master Servicer) or, to the best of the Master Servicer's
knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its
entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement
or is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Master
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial

                  (vii) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects

                  (ix) No information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or report delivered to the Company, any affiliate of the

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

                  (xi) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing,
and will 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.

         It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Company, the Trustee
or the Master Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations,
warranties and covenants that materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Company or the Trustee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by
the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant of the Master Servicer set
forth in Section 2.03(x) above which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge,
the Master Servicer shall remedy such breach as follows: the Master Servicer
shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the
Holders of



                                       43
<PAGE>


the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Custodial Account
(net of any amount actually collected by the Master Servicer in respect of such
Prepayment Charge and remitted by the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect of such Prepayment Charge, into
the Custodial Account). The foregoing shall not, however, limit any remedies
available to the Certificateholders, the Company or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement respecting
a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

         (b) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that as of the Closing
Date, the representations and warranties of the Seller with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the remedies therefor that are contained in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement are as set forth in Exhibit I hereto.

         It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee.

         Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Section
2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties.

         Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

         The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders all of its rights (but none of its obligations) in, to and
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Insofar as the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement relates to such representations and warranties and any
remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and
warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Seller of such breach and request that the Seller shall, within 90 days from the
date that the Seller was notified or otherwise obtained knowledge of such
breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) purchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner
set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if such breach would cause the Mortgage
Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date
such breach was discovered. However, in the case of a breach under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of the Company the Seller shall
have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for
such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the
Closing Date, except that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other




                                       44
<PAGE>


than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was
discovered if such 90 day period expires before two years following the Closing
Date. In the event that the Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.04, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as
appropriate, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution, to the extent received by the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a
Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled
to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Company shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and the Company shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Seller
shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution, and the Company shall be deemed to
have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of
the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in
Exhibit I hereof (other than representations (xiv), (xvi), (xxix) and (xxxiii)
through (xli)).

         In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment"), if any, by which the
aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as
of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the
principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that
are to be distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for
immediate deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall,
without any reimbursement therefor. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of
such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to
the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC
1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on

as described above, including any related assignments, opinions or other
documentation in connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller.

         Except as expressly set forth herein neither the Trustee nor the Master
Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the above-mentioned
representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of the Seller to cure such breach, purchase or to substitute for such Mortgage
Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

                        Interests and Acceptance of REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 by the

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                                OF THE TRUST FUND

         Section  3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

         The Master Servicer shall supervise, or take such actions as are
necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and
any REO Property in accordance with this Agreement and its normal servicing
practices, which generally shall conform to the standards (i) of the Servicing
Guide, if Impac Funding Corporation is Master Servicer, or (ii) if Impac Funding
Corporation is not the Master Servicer, of an institution prudently servicing
mortgage loans for its own account and shall have full authority to do anything
it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection with such servicing
and administration. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge
only if such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into
account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing
so is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage
Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a
refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default), and in no event will it waive a Prepayment Charge in
connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default.

         The Master Servicer may perform its responsibilities relating to
servicing through other agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby
be released from any of its responsibilities as hereinafter set forth. The
authority of the Master Servicer, in its capacity as master servicer, and any
Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf, shall include, without limitation, the power
to (i) consult with and advise any Sub-Servicer regarding administration of a
related Mortgage Loan, (ii) approve any recommendation by a Sub-Servicer to
foreclose on a related Mortgage Loan, (iii) supervise the filing and collection
of insurance claims and take or cause to be taken such actions on behalf of the
insured Person thereunder as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent the denial
of coverage thereunder, and (iv) effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing a related Mortgage Loan,
including the employment of attorneys, the institution of legal proceedings, the
collection of deficiency judgments, the acceptance of compromise proposals, the
filing of claims under any Insurance Policy and any other matter pertaining to a
delinquent Mortgage Loan. The authority of the Master Servicer shall include, in
addition, the power on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of
them to (i) execute and deliver customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) consent to transfer of any related Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the related Mortgage Notes and Security Instruments
(in the manner provided in this Agreement) and (iii) collect any Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf may,
and is hereby authorized, and empowered by the Trustee to, execute and deliver,
on behalf of itself, the Certificateholders or the Trustee or any of them, any
instruments of satisfaction, cancellation, partial or full release, discharge
and all other comparable instruments, with




                                       48
<PAGE>


respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Insurance Policies and the accounts
related thereto, and the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer may exercise
this power in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer.

         Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the written
request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power
of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.

         In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master
Servicer 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 reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to make such advance if, in its good faith judgment, the Master
Servicer determines that such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

         The Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name
of any Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or such Subservicer, as the case
may be, 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 expenses incurred in connection with
the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master
Servicer in accordance with Section 3.17, with no right of reimbursement;
provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to
continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes necessary to
remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for
the assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related
expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund.

         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the
Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or
REMIC 3 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.

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

         Section  3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and
                        Sub-Servicers.

         (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for
the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder; provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by Standard & Poor's of its rating on any Class of
Certificates. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts
of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the
business of originating or servicing mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage
Loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state
or states in which 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 in either case shall be a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved
mortgage servicer. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master
Servicer shall include the provision that such Agreement may be immediately
terminated (x) with cause and without any termination fee by any Master Servicer
hereunder or (y) without cause in which case the Master Servicer shall be
responsible for any termination fee or penalty resulting therefrom. In addition,
each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans
consistent with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements and make amendments to the Sub- Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements providing for, among other things,
the delegation by the Master Servicer to a Sub-Servicer of additional duties
regarding the administration of the Mortgage Loans; 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 51% of the Voting Rights. The
parties hereto acknowledge that the initial Sub-Servicer shall be Wendover.

         The Master Servicer has entered into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with
Wendover for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and may
enter into additional Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers acceptable to
the Trustee for the servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage
Loans.

         (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer,
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. 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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it the owner of the related




                                       50
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)
from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.

         (c) The Master Servicer represents that it has entered into a contract
regarding the sale of sub-servicing rights with respect to substantially all of
the Mortgage Loans with GMAC and shall transfer the subservicing of
substantially all of the Mortgage Loans from Wendover to GMAC on or about May 1,
2003. The Trustee hereby consents to such transfer.

         (d) The Master Servicer represents that it will cause any Sub-Servicer
to accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to all three credit
repositories in a timely manner.


         Section  3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

         The Master 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 Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or
the Master Servicer, and the Master 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.

         Section  3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.

         Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall under all circumstances remain obligated
and primarily liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property in accordance with the
provisions of Article III 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 Master Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the
Sub-Servicer has received such payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the
Master 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
                        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 and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
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 Master Servicer (or Sub-Servicer) shall
be liable for the payment of any franchise taxes which may be assessed by the
California Franchise Tax Board in connection with the activities of the Trust
under this Agreement.

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

         (a) If the Trustee or its designee shall assume the master servicing
obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below, the
Trustee, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee to carry out the
provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall succeed to
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements. In such event, the Trustee or its designee as the
successor master servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master
Servicer's rights and obligations therein and to have replaced the Master
Servicer as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreements to the same extent as if
such Sub-Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the Trustee or its designee
as a successor master servicer, except that the Trustee or its designee as a
successor master servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligations or
liabilities of the Master Servicer arising prior to such assumption (other than
the obligation to make any Advances hereunder) and the Master Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing
Agreements arising prior to such assumption. Nothing in the foregoing shall be
deemed to entitle the Trustee or its designee as a successor master servicer at
any time to receive any portion of the servicing compensation provided under
Section 3.17 except for such portion as the Master Servicer would be entitled to
receive.

         (b) In the event that the Trustee or its designee as successor master
servicer for the Trustee assumes the servicing obligations of the Master
Servicer under Section 7.02, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee or such
designee as successor master servicer the Master Servicer shall at its own
expense deliver to the Trustee, or at its written request to such designee,
photocopies of all documents, files and records, electronic or otherwise,
relating to the Sub-Servicing Agreements and the related Mortgage Loans or REO
Property then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it, if any, and will otherwise cooperate and use its reasonable efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements, or
responsibilities hereunder to the Trustee, or at its written request to such
designee as successor master servicer.

         Section  3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

         (a) The Master Servicer will coordinate and monitor remittances by
Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall make its reasonable efforts to collect or
cause to be collected all payments required under the terms and provisions of
the Mortgage Loans and shall follow, and use its reasonable efforts to cause
Sub-Servicers to follow, collection procedures comparable to the collection
procedures of prudent mortgage lenders servicing mortgage loans for their own
account to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge, prepayment charge,
assumption fee, or any penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan and (ii) suspend or reduce or permit to be suspended or reduced
regular monthly payments for a period of up to six months, or arrange or permit
an arrangement with a Mortgagor for a scheduled liquidation of delinquencies. In
the event the Master Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the due dates
for payments due on a Mortgage Note, the Master Servicer shall nonetheless make
an Advance or shall cause the related Sub-Servicer to make an advance to the
same extent as if such installment were due, owing and delinquent and had not
been deferred through liquidation of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however,
that the obligation of the Master Servicer or related Sub-Servicer to make an
Advance shall apply only to the extent that the Master Servicer believes, in
good faith, that such advances are not Nonrecoverable Advances.

         (c) On each Determination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for
which during the related Prepayment Period the Master Servicer has determined
that all amounts which it expects to recover from or on account of each such
Mortgage Loan have been recovered and that no further Liquidation Proceeds will
be received in connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall provide to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer that such Mortgage Loan became a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan in a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition.

         The Master 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 related Insurance Policy, follow such collection
procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. The Master Servicer shall not be
required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any
payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect
to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by
applicable law from enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument
pursuant to which such payment is required. The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for preparing and distributing all information statements relating
to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal and
state tax laws and regulations.

         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
otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a
Sub-Servicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. Any investment of funds held in such an account shall be
in Permitted Investments maturing not later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Sub-Servicer Remittance Date. The Sub- Servicer will be
required to deposit into the Sub-Servicing Account no later than one Business
Day after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer,
less its servicing compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to
the extent permitted by the Sub- Servicing Agreement. On each Sub-Servicer
Remittance Date the Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the
Sub-Servicing Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan as of the Sub-Servicer
Remittance Date, after deducting from such remittance an amount equal to the
servicing compensation (including interest on Permitted Investments) and
unreimbursed expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or
retained by it. In addition, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts
required to be advanced pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. The
Sub-Servicer will also be required to remit to the Master Servicer, within five
Business Days of receipt, the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the
Mortgagor, and, on each Sub- Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of any
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds received during the related
Prepayment Period.

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

         The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and maintain
one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), and shall deposit and retain
therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the
extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy
premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments), and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard
Insurance Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing
duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent
required by law, pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts
from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

         Section  3.10. Custodial Account.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account") in which the Master Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, or as and when received
from the Sub-Servicers, the following payments and collections received or made
by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date , or received by it prior
to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other than in
respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date):

                  (i) all payments (including advances by a Sub-Servicer) on
account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

                  (ii) all payments (including advances by a Sub-Servicer) on
account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of any portion thereof retained
by the Master Servicer or any Sub- Servicer as Servicing Fees;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that
represent reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer in connection with presenting claims under the related
Insurance Policies, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds;

                  (iv) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
repurchased or purchased in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04 , 3.14 or 9.01;
and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04; and

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.12, 3.13, 3.15 or 3.22.

         The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall
be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may withdraw such
amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.

         (b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of the location
of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.

         Section 3.11.     Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

         The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to
Section 3.10 that are attributable to the



                                       55

Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:

         (i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in
the manner provided for in Section 4.01;

         (ii) to pay to itself, the Company, the Seller or any other appropriate
person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has
previously been purchased or repurchased pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.14
or 9.01 all amounts received thereon and not yet distributed as of the date of
purchase or repurchase;

         (iii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for Advances not
previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received
which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly
Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made and as
further provided in Section 3.15;

         (iv) to reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the Company for
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Company pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03, 8.05 or 10.01(g), except as otherwise
provided in such Sections hereof;

         (v) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs and expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the prosecution of any claims
pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess of the amounts so recovered;

         (vi) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid Master
Servicing Fees, Sub- Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the
Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this
clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to late recoveries
of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.09 and any other related Late Collections;

         (vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the
Master Servicing Fee and Sub-Servicing Fee), on or after each Distribution Date,
any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial
Account for the period ending on such Distribution Date;

         (viii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for any Advance or
Servicing Advance previously made, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan if the Advance or Servicing Advance was not
reimbursed pursuant to clauses (iii) and (vi);

         (ix) to pay Radian the premium under the Radian Lender-Paid PMI
Policies; and

         (x) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.




                                       56

         The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records
on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) through
(x).

         Section  3.12. Permitted Investments.

         Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the
direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Investments, each of which shall mature not later than (i) 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, 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 and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any
interest earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of
the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account
an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of
reimbursement.

         The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional
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.

         Section  3.13. Maintenance of Primary Hazard Insurance.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan primary hazard insurance by a Qualified Insurer or other insurer
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies with extended coverage on the related
Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the
replacement value of the improvements, as determined by the insurance company,
on such Mortgaged Property or (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired
upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire
insurance with extended coverage in an amount equal to the replacement value of
the improvements thereon. Any costs incurred in maintaining any insurance
described in this Section 3.13 (other than any deductible described in the last
paragraph hereof) shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance. The Master
Servicer shall not be obligated to advance any amounts pursuant to this Section
3.13 if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such
advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for
the purpose of


                                       57
<PAGE>


calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount
owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage
Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance.

         The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related Sub-Servicer to,
exercise its best reasonable efforts to maintain and keep in full force and
effect each Primary Insurance Policy by a Qualified Insurer, or other insurer
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, with respect to each first lien Mortgage
Loan as to which as of the Cut-Off Date such a Primary Insurance Policy was in
effect (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the date of
substitution) and the original principal amount of the related Mortgage Note
exceeded 80% of the Collateral Value in an amount at least equal to the excess
of such original principal amount over 75% of such Collateral Value until the
principal amount of any such first lien Mortgage Loan is reduced below 80% of
the Collateral Value or, based upon a new appraisal, the principal amount of
such first lien Mortgage Loan represents less than 80% of the new appraised
value. The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related Sub-Servicer to,
effect the timely payment of the premium on each Primary Insurance Policy. The
Master Servicer and the related Sub-Servicer shall have the power to substitute
for any Primary Insurance Policy another substantially equivalent policy issued
by another Qualified Insurer, provided, that, such substitution shall be subject
to the condition that it will not cause the ratings on the Certificates to be
downgraded or withdrawn, as evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency.

         The Master Servicer shall cooperate with Radian and shall use its best
efforts to furnish all reasonable aid, evidence and information in the
possession of the Master Servicer or to which the Master Servicer has access
with respect to any Radian Insured Loan.

         In the event of a default by Radian under the Radian Lender-Paid PMI
Policy (a "Replacement Event"), the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts
to obtain a substitute lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy (a
"Substitute PMI Policy"); provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not
be obligated, and shall have no liability for failing, to obtain a Substitute
PMI Policy unless such Substitute PMI Policy can be obtained on the following
terms and conditions: (i) the Certificates shall be rated no lower than the
rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Certificates immediately prior to
such Replacement Event, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency
addressed to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, (ii) the timing
and mechanism for drawing on such new Substitute PMI Policy shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee and (iii) the premiums under
the proposed Substitute PMI Policy shall not exceed such premiums under the
existing Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy.

         With respect to the Radian PMI Insured Loans covered by a Radian
Lender-Paid PMI Policy, the Master Servicer will confirm with Radian, and Radian
will certify to the Trustee, on or before April 1, 2003, that the Mortgage Loans
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as being covered by Radian Lender-Paid
PMI Policy are so covered.



                                       58
<PAGE>

         No earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired with respect to a security
instrument other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and shall require such additional insurance. When, at
the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan or at any subsequent time, the
Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard
area, the Master Servicer shall cause with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property flood insurance (to the extent available and in accordance
with mortgage servicing industry practice) to be maintained. Such flood
insurance shall cover the Mortgaged Property, including all items taken into
account in arriving at the Collateral Value on which the Mortgage Loan was
based, and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the minimum amount required under
the terms of coverage to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis, but not more than the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under either the regular or emergency programs of the
National Flood Insurance Program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program). Unless applicable state
law requires a higher deductible, the deductible on such flood insurance may not
exceed $1,000 or 1% of the applicable amount of coverage, whichever is less.

         In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage 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 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under
the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the
Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next
preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in
which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial
Account. Any such deposit shall not be deemed Servicing Advances and the Master
Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

         Section  3.14. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                        Agreements.

         The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property
(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 or the
Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable
thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such
rights if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so. The
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer may repurchase a Mortgage Loan at
the Purchase Price when the Master Servicer requires acceleration of the
Mortgage Loan, but only



                                       59
<PAGE>

if the Master Servicer is satisfied, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, that either (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or
default is reasonably foreseeable or (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is not in
default or default is not reasonably foreseeable, such repurchase will have no
adverse tax consequences for the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder. If the
Master Servicer is unable to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause (as provided in
the second preceding sentence) or if no "due-on-sale" clause is applicable, the
Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption
and modification agreement 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; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not enter into any assumption and modification agreement if the
coverage provided under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, would be impaired
by doing so. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, whenever possible,
before the completion of such assumption agreement, and shall forward to the
Trustee the original copy of such assumption agreement, which copy shall be
added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and which 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. In connection with
any such assumption agreement, the interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan
shall not be changed and no other material alterations in the Mortgage Loan
shall be made unless such material alteration would not cause any of REMIC 1,
REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. The Master 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. Any fee collected by or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on
behalf of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly
Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the
Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any
substitution or assumption if such substitution or assumption shall (i) both
constitute a "significant modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of
such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder) and cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the
REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement, which
copy 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. A portion equal to up to
2% of the Collateral Value of the related Mortgage Loan, of any fee or
additional interest collected by the related Sub-Servicer for consenting in any
such conveyance or entering into any such assumption agreement may be retained
by the related Sub-Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the



                                       60
<PAGE>


Master 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 any assumption that the Master Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of
this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of a
Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement.

         Section  3.15. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

         The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with
the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own
account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an
REO Acquisition) 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, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any
other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
realize proceeds from such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner (including
short sales and passing through to the Trust Fund less than the full amount it
expects to receive from the related Mortgage Loan) as will maximize the receipt
of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking into account, among
other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to
the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to
expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in
Section 3.11.

         The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be deposited into
the Custodial Account and applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(vi) or 3.22; second, to accrued and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage
Rate, to the date of the Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date
prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if
not in connection with a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition; and third, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be
allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to interest
at the Net Mortgage Rate. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11(vi). The portions of the recovery so allocated to
interest at the Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be
applied as follows: first, to reimburse



                                       61
<PAGE>

the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Advances in
accordance with Section 3.11(iii) or 3.22, second, payment to Radian in
accordance with Sections 3.11(ix) and third, for payment to the Trustee and
distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.01, subject to Section 3.22 with respect to certain recoveries from an
REO Disposition constituting Excess Proceeds. To the extent the Master Servicer
receives additional recoveries following a Cash Liquidation, the amount of the
Realized Loss will be restated, and the additional recoveries will be passed
through the Trust Fund as Liquidation Proceeds.

         Section  3.16. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

         Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify
the Trustee by a certification (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 Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall
request delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the form of the Request for
Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the proceeds
of such payment in full and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the
Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the Mortgagor of the original
canceled Mortgage Note. In connection with the satisfaction of any MOM Loan, the
Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS(R) System of such Mortgage. All other documents in the Mortgage File shall
be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent required by applicable law. The
Master Servicer shall provide for preparation of the appropriate instrument of
satisfaction covering any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the execution and return of such instrument to provide for its
delivery or recording as may be required. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.

         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 Loan, the Trustee shall, upon request
of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, release the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute such documents as the Master
Servicer shall prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to
return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee
when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists; and in any event
within 21 days of the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, unless the Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage
Loan have been deposited in the Custodial 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-


                                       62
<PAGE>

judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the
Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to 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 stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are
required to be deposited into the Custodial Account have been or will be so
deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.

         Upon written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are 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 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 request that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a certification signed by a
Servicing Officer 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  3.17. Servicing Compensation.

         As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to withhold and retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of
amounts representing payments or recoveries of interest, the Servicing Fees with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Sub-Servicer). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in
Section 3.11.

         Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall permit the related Sub-Servicer to
retain the Sub- Servicer Fees from collections on the related Mortgage Loans, or
shall provide that the Sub-Servicer be paid directly by the Master Servicer from
collections on the related Mortgage Loans. To the extent the Master Servicer
directly services a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
retain the Sub-Servicing Fees for that Mortgage Loan.

         The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 to
receive from the Custodial Account as additional servicing compensation interest
or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.23, as well as
any assumption fees, late payment charges and reconveyance fees. The Master
Servicer shall not be entitled to retain any Prepayment Charges. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13 and
servicing compensation of the Sub-Servicer to the extent not retained by it),
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in Section 3.11. The Master Servicing Fee may not be transformed in
whole or in part except in


                                       63
<PAGE>

connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.

         The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 to
receive from the Custodial Account as additional servicing compensation interest
or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.23, as well as
any assumption fees, late payment charges and reconveyance fees. The Master
Servicer shall not be entitled to retain any Prepayment Charges. Any Prepayment
Charges shall be paid to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13 and
servicing compensation of the Sub-Servicer to the extent not retained by it),
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in Section 3.11. The Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or
in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

         Section  3.18. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Policies.

         The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and
shall cause each Sub- Servicer to obtain and maintain for the duration of this
Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy
covering the Master Servicer's and such Sub-Servicer's officers, employees and
other persons acting on its behalf in connection with its activities under this
Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage
maintained by the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer in order to be acceptable to
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to service loans for it or otherwise in an amount as
is commercially available at a cost that is generally not regarded as excessive
by industry standards. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any material change in the terms of such bond or policy. The Master
Servicer shall provide annually to the Trustee a certificate of insurance that
such bond and policy are in effect. If any such bond or policy ceases to be in
effect, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent possible, give the Trustee ten
days' notice prior to any such cessation and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy, as the case may be.

         Section  3.19. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

         Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year (other
than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with respect
to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form 10-K is
required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission, 15 Business Days before the date on which the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in each
case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), the Master Servicer at its own expense shall deliver to the Trustee, with
a copy to the Rating Agencies, a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer
stating, as to the signers thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officers'


                                       64
<PAGE>


supervision, (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review,
the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for
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 including the steps being taken by the Master Servicer to
remedy such default; (iii) a review of the activities of each Sub-Servicer
during the Sub-Servicer's most recently ended fiscal year on or prior to such
December 31 and its performance under its Sub-Servicing Agreement has been made
under such officer's supervision; and (iv) to the best of the Servicing
Officer's knowledge, based on his review and the certification of an officer of
the Sub-Servicer (unless the Servicing Officer has reason to believe that
reliance on such certification is not justified), either each Sub-Servicer has
performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement and its Sub-Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout
the year, or, if there has been a default in performance or fulfillment of any
such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying the nature and status
of each such default known to the Servicing Officer. Copies of such statements
shall be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificateholders upon request
or by the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer should the Master
Servicer fail to provide such copies.

         Section  3.20. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                        Statement.

         (a) Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with
respect to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission, 15 Business Days before the date on which the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in each
case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent
public accountants who are members of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and who are KPMG LLP (or a successor thereof) to furnish a statement
to the Master Servicer, which will be provided to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies, to the effect that, in connection with the firm's examination of the
Master Servicer's financial statements as of the end of such calendar year,
nothing came to their attention that indicated that the Master Servicer was not
in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement except for (i) such
exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions
as are set forth in such statement.

         (b) Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with
respect to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission, 15 Business Days before the date on which the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in each
case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall or shall cause each
Sub-Servicer to cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer or such Sub-Servicer a
report stating that (i) it has


                                       65
<PAGE>


obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the
management of the Master Servicer or such Sub-Servicer which includes an
assertion that the Master Servicer or such Sub- Servicer has complied with
certain minimum mortgage loan servicing standards (to the extent applicable to
commercial and multifamily mortgage loans) identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America with respect to the servicing of first and second lien
conventional single family mortgage loans during the most recently completed
calendar 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. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer shall
or shall cause each Sub-Servicer to furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee
and the Rating Agencies.

         Section  3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.

         The Master Servicer shall provide, and shall cause any Sub-Servicer to
provide, to the Trustee, access to the documentation in their possession
regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC (to which the Trustee shall also provide) access to the documentation
regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations, such
access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers
that are designated by these entities; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
required by law, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer shall not
be required to provide access to such documentation if the provision thereof
would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor; provided, further,
however, that the Trustee shall coordinate its requests for such access so as
not to impose an unreasonable burden on, or cause an unreasonable interruption
of, the business of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer. The Master
Servicer, the Sub-Servicers and the Trustee shall allow representatives of the
above entities to photocopy any of the documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge that covers their own actual out-of-pocket costs.

         Section  3.22. Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.

         This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the
account of REMIC 1 and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from REMIC 1 pursuant to
Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 3.14. In the event that title to any such REO Property is
acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to
its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf
of REMIC 1, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third
taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1 acquires ownership of
such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the
expense of REMIC 1, request, more than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of the three-year
grace period, unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel (which shall not be at the


                                       66
<PAGE>

expense of the Trustee), addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to
the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to the
close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1
acquires ownership of such REO Property will not result in the imposition on
REMIC 1 of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section
860F of the Code, or cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of the laws of
the State of California at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The
Master 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) or result in the
receipt by any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 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. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior
to the sale of such REO Property.

         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).

         The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues
received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any directly related
expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper
operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.

         If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there
remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO
Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon
an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15. The Master Servicer shall not
be obligated to advance any amounts with respect to an REO Property if, in its
good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

         The REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall determine.

         The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any



                                       67
<PAGE>

payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the Custodial Account upon
receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01; provided, that
any such net proceeds received by the Master Servicer which are in excess of the
applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon
through the last day of the month in which the REO Disposition occurred ("Excess
Proceeds") shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

         With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has
received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or
hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on
behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property
as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire
possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless the Master Servicer has,
at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and delivered to the
Trustee an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards. The Master
Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest
of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is
hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.

         The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund,
and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account
as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.

         If the Master 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 in 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 Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as
an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.

         Section  3.23. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer.

         On each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds
and without any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to the
amount of Compensating Interest for the related Distribution Date.


                                       68

         Section  3.24. Additional Obligations of the Company.

         The Company agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the Closing
Date, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a written notification,
substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating to each Class
of Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of such
Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of
such date, the value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto,
or, (b) if 10% or more of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of such
date but no single price is paid for at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, then the
weighted average price at which the Certificates of such Class were sold and the
aggregate percentage of Certificates of such Class sold, (c) the first single
price at which at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or
Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates was sold, or (d) if any
Certificates of each Class of Certificates are retained by the Company or an
affiliate corporation, or are delivered to the Seller, the fair market value of
such Certificates as of the Closing Date, (ii) the Prepayment Assumption used in
pricing the Certificates, and (iii) such other information as to matters of fact
as the Trustee may reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting
requirements with respect to each Class of such Certificates to the extent such
information can in the good faith judgment of the Company be determined by it.

         Section 3.25. Exchange Act Reporting. (a) The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the
Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements under 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 Commission thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign (or
shall cause another entity acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Trustee
shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System)
such forms on behalf of the Company (or such other entity). The Company 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 Company. Such power of attorney shall
continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Company of
written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the
Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer, and
not the Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on
behalf of the Trust.

         (b) 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 or permitted by the Exchange Act
and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form
10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staffs
interpretations. The Trustee shall prepare the Form 10-K and provide the Master
Servicer with the Form 10-K no later than March 20th of each year. The Master
Servicer shall execute such Form 10-K upon its receipt and shall provide the
original of such executed Form 10-K to the Trustee no later than March 25th of
each year. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master Servicer's annual
statement


                                       69
<PAGE>

of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.20(a), 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 L-1 (the "Certification"), in compliance with Rules
13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any additional directives of the
Commission, which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Master Servicer
in charge of securitization.

         (c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit L-2) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and its
officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through
3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake
an analysis of any accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

         (d) In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Master Servicer and the Company and their 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 3.25 caused by the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Company and their
respective 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 Master Servicer's obligations under this Section 3.25 or
the Master Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. If (i) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Trustee agrees that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master
Servicer on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a
breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.25 caused by the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith
and (ii) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless the Trustee, then the Master Servicer agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee on the one hand and the
Master Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Master
Servicer's obligations under this Section 3.25 or the Master Servicer's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

         (e) In the event the Commission permits separate or split
certifications to be made with respect to the items currently contained in the
Certification, the Trustee shall provide a certification with respect to items 1
and 2 and the Master Servicer shall provide a certification with respect to



                                       70
<PAGE>

items 3, 4 and 5 contained within the Certification, in each case substantially
in the form of the Certification attached as Exhibit L-1, or other form as
indicated by the Commission for this purpose. In addition, the Trustee shall
sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-3) for the
benefit of the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates
regarding certain aspects of item 3 of the Certification (provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of any accountant's report
attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

         (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the
provisions of this Section 3.25 may be amended by the Master Servicer, the
Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

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

         On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute to each

provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution) either in
immediately available funds (by wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of
such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder has so notified the Trustee at least 5
Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise by check mailed to

the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining for such Distribution Date:

                  (i) to the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates

                                       73
<PAGE>


such Distribution Date;

                  (ix) if such Distribution Date follows the Prepayment Period
during which occurs the latest date on which a Prepayment Charge may be required
to be paid in respect of any Mortgage Loans, to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and

                  (xi) any remaining amounts to the Holders of the Class R
Certificates (in respect of the appropriate Residual Interest).

         (e) On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment
Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment
Period and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Amounts paid by the Master
Servicer during the related Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the
Certificate Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates and shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of any
other Class of Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders
of the Class P Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof.

         (f) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Company
or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

         (g) The Trustee, upon written direction of the Master Servicer, shall
invest or cause the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to invest
the funds in the Certificate Account in Permitted Investments designated in the
name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next
following the date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for
the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or
order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any
such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master
Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of
reimbursement.

         (h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, if the Master
Servicer anticipates that a final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall, no later than the Determination Date in the month of such final
distribution, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, no later than two (2)
Business Days after such Determination Date, mail on such date to each Holder of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the


                                       74

effect that: (i) the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution with
respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but
only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the
Trustee or as otherwise specified therein, and (ii) no interest shall accrue on
such Certificates from and after the end of the prior calendar month.

         Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of
such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non- tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall
take reasonable steps as directed by the Company, or appoint an agent to take
reasonable steps, to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in the Trust Fund. If within nine months
after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all
unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto. No interest shall
accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a
result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

         Section  4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer.

         (a) On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close of
business on the Determination Date (the "Remittance Report"), in the form of an
electromagnetic tape or disk. The Remittance Report and any written information
supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making the calculations
and preparing the statement described in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, as set forth in
written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or verify any
information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of
Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which shall be
in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of Monthly
Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Mortgage Rate less
the sum of the Master Servicing Fee Rate, the Sub-Servicing Fee Rate and any
applicable Radian PMI Policy Rate, other than Balloon Payments, less the amount
of any related Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest
collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding
Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were
delinquent as of the close of business as of the related Determination Date)
plus (2) with respect to each Balloon Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon
Payment as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, an amount
equal to the assumed Monthly Payment (net of the related Servicing Fees) that
would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization scheduled for such Balloon Loan until such Balloon Loan is finally
liquidated; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 4:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate
Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the
Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the
Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) withdraw from amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a
portion of the amounts held for future distribution in discharge of any such
Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the amounts held for
future distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit
in the Certificate Account on or before 1:00 P.M. New York time on any future
Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the
Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the
Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution
Date. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.11 in respect of
outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific
Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation
shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been
delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive
for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a


                                       78
<PAGE>

certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Seller and the Trustee with
the Remittance Report. The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant
to this Section 4.03 into the Certificate Account.

         (c) In the event that the Master Servicer determines as of any
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date in the amount determined by the Master
Servicer pursuant to paragraph (b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of
its inability to Advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than
4:00 P.M., New York time, on such date, specifying the portion of such amount
that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 4:00 P.M., New York time, on
the earlier of (x) two Business Days following such Certificate Account Deposit
Date or (y) the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date, unless by
such time the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in the
Certificate Account the entire amount of the Advances required to be made for
the related Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date.

information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect
to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating
that such reports have been filed. 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  4.07. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans,
that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent
of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event
the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report to
such Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, indicate such amount
withheld.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

         Section  5.01. The Certificates.

         (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B-1 through B-4. The Certificates will be
issuable in registered form only. The Certificates (other than the Class P
Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Class R Certificates) will be
issued in minimum denominations of $25,000 Initial Certificate Principal Balance
or Initial Notional Amount, as applicable, and integral multiples of $1 in
excess thereof. The Class C Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations
of $1.00 Initial Notional Amount and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess
thereof. The Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates will each be
issuable in minimum denominations of any Percentage Interest representing 20.00%
and multiples of 0.01% in excess thereof.

         Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written request
of the Company executed by an officer of the Company, be executed and delivered
by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon the order
of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section
2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by a Responsible
Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at the time they signed the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing
Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter
shall be dated the date of their authentication.

         (b) The Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the
Subordinate Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided
below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the
respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate
Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such
Book-Entry Certificates through the book- entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates
in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of
their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry


                                       84
<PAGE>


Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which
it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The
Trustee shall not be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and
the Trustee shall have no liability for transfers of Ownership Interests in the
Book Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary
or between or among Depositary Participants or Certificate Owners, made in
violation of the applicable restrictions.

         The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes
(including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective
Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants
and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and
directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of Book-
Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The
Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations
of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the
Depository of such record date.

         If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Company at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including,
without limitation, 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 and the Master Servicer
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

         (c) Each Certificate is intended to be a "security" governed by Article
8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and any
other applicable jurisdiction, to the extent that any of such laws may be
applicable.


         Section  5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

         (a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject
to such reasonable


                                       85
<PAGE>

regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration
of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided.

         (b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition of a Class P Certificate, Class C Certificate or a Class R
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is
made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a
Class P Certificate, Class C Certificate or Class R Certificate is to be made
under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such
transfer shall be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made
pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion
of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any
such Certificate by the Company or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of
the Company and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the
Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee certifying to the Company and the
Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer; provided,
however, that such representation letters will not be required in connection
with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Company to an affiliate of the
Company 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 Company of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company and
the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state
laws.

         (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.02(b), transfers of
Class P Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class R Certificates may be made
in accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of a
Certificate provides the Trustee and the Company with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master
Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such
transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section
5.02(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class P
Certificates, Class C Certificates or Class R Certificates may be made pursuant
to this Section 5.02(c) by the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Company and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable
federal and state laws.

         The Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel from a prospective
transferee prior to the


                                       86
<PAGE>

transfer of any Class P Certificate, Class C Certificate or Class R Certificate
to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including
individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to Section 406
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or
Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a "Plan"), to a trustee or other
Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who is using "plan
assets" of any Plan to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company
using funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan
assets"). Such Opinion of Counsel must establish to the satisfaction of the
Trustee that such transfer is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Company to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be
required to obtain such Opinion of Counsel on behalf of any prospective
transferee.

         Each beneficial owner of a Class M-1, Class M-2 or Class B Certificate
or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan or a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of a Plan or
using "plan assets" of a Plan to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general separate accounts that may
constitute "plan assets", (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate
in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41 (the "Exemption"), and
that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch or Moody's,
and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the
source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is
an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

         (d) [Reserved]

         (e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R 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 authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

                  (A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R 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.

                  (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class


                                       87
<PAGE>

R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register
the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of (I) an affidavit
and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement" in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G-5) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a
Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so
long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a
certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G- 4, from the Holder
wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose
of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

                  (C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that
the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.

                  (D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.

                  (E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate, if it is "a pass-through interest holder", or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through
interest holder."

         (ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-5, a certificate of the Holder requesting such
transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition
to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates other than to
Permitted Transferees are prohibited.

         (iii) (A) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee shall become
a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a Holder of
a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted


                                       88
<PAGE>

by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a
Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. The prior Holder shall be entitled
to recover from any purported Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact
not a Permitted Transferee under this Section 5.05(b) at the time it became a
Holder all payments made on such Class R Certificate. Each Holder of a Class R
Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have
consented to the provisions of this clause (b) and to any amendment of this
Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise)
by counsel of the Company to ensure that the Class R Certificates are not
transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee and that any
transfer of such Class R Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or
for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this Agreement.

                  (B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02 and to
the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such
Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such
Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the
Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver
each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee.
Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The proceeds of such sale, net of the
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Trustee), expenses and
taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee.
The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be
liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.

         (iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary
to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an ownership
interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such
Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and
certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real
estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record Holders at any time
any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall
be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information as may be
required from those Persons which may have had a tax


                                       89
<PAGE>

imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph for
providing such information.

                  (F) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be
accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee or
transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for
distribution by wire transfer.

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

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

                  (I) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's
standard procedures.

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

         If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and


                                       90
<PAGE>

any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

         Section  5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

         The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of
them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

         Section  5.05. Rule 144A Information.

         For so long as any Class P Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class
R Certificates are outstanding and are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Company will provide or
cause to be provided to any Holder of such Certificates and any prospective
purchaser thereof designated by such a Holder, upon the request of such Holder
or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such Holder
or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2)
the Company shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent
such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other
actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be
available for resales of such Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule
144A. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Company and furnish the
Company such information in the Master Servicer's possession as the Company may
reasonably request.

                       THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER

         Section  6.01. Liability of the Company and the Master Servicer.

         The Company and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and
undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein. Only the Master
Servicer, any successor Master Servicer or the Trustee acting as Master Servicer
shall be liable with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the REO
Property for actions taken by any such Person in contravention of the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder.

         Section  6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Company or
                        the Master Servicer.


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

         Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged,
consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, 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 or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and service
mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

         Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master
                       Servicer and Others.

         Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Company or the Master Servicer (but this
provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section
hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not protect the Company,
the Master Servicer or any such


                                       92
<PAGE>

person, against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The
Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of
counsel), other than (a) any loss, liability or expense related to Master
Servicer's servicing obligations with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer's
obligations under Section 3.01, or (b) any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that the Company or the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any action or
liability related to the Master Servicer's obligations under Section 3.01) shall
be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate
Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate
Account.

         Section  6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

         The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee upon receipt by the Trustee of a letter
from each Rating Agency (obtained by the Master Servicer and at its expense)
that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master Servicer) to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

         Section  6.05. Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing.

         The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its
duties and obligations in their entirety as Master Servicer under this
Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting
such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall, in the case of
successor master servicers only, have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000
(unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below);
(c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing
signed by the Trustee) as having a comparable servicing ability to that of the
Master Servicer on the Closing Date; (d) shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement and any custodial
agreement, from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating
Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed
successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency's rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation
will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and
delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect obtained by the Master
Servicer at its expense and delivered to the Trustee; and (iii) the Master
Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Master
Servicer), each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with
the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

                                     DEFAULT

         Section  7.01. Events of Default.

         "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:

         (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate
Account on each Certificate Account Deposit Date the amounts required to be
deposited therein (other than an Advance) under the terms of this Agreement
which continues unremedied for two (2) Business Days after such amount was
required to be remitted; or

         (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement
(including any breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties
pursuant to Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders) which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

         (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present or future federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

         (iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its
property; or

         (v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or
otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations; or

         (vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate
Account on any Certificate


                                       95
<PAGE>

Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any required Advance which continues
unremedied for the earlier of (a) a period of two (2) Business Days or (b) the
Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

         If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of Certificates),
with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and
obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the successor to the Master
Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have accepted the duties of
Master Servicer effective upon the resignation or termination of the Master
Servicer. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur,
the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer, and the Company, terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee determines (in its sole
discretion) that the failure by the Master Servicer to make any required Advance
was due to circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was
otherwise made, the Trustee shall not terminate the Master Servicer. On or after
the receipt by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise at the
expense of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
(and pay any related costs and expenses of) the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or the successor
Master Servicer for administration by it of (i) the property and amounts which
are then or should be part of the Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of
the Trust Fund; (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer
reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's
duties thereunder; (iii) the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
the Sub-Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and (iv) all
cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or
should have been deposited to the Custodial or the Certificate Account or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not
be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to
make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused
by the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any amounts received by it or to
deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. For
purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of an


                                       96
<PAGE>

Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event
of Default is received by the Trustee as provided in Section 11.05 and such
notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

         Section  7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

         Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01(i) - (v), the Trustee or its appointed
agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its
capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer including the obligation to make Advances which have been or will be
required to be made (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12 and 4.01(h)) by the terms and provisions hereof;
and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 4.03 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled to charge to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if the
Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. If the Trustee has become the
successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section
7.02, then notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall be unable to so act, the Trustee may appoint, or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction or appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, which is also a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved mortgage
servicing institution, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. Each of the Seller, the
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In no event
shall the successor Master Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of the
predecessor Master Servicer.

         In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the
Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent
and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with
MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its


                                       97
<PAGE>

records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as
necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to
execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the 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 Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall
file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording
office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS,
costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any
assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02. The
successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the
Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon
or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was
recorded.

         Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer shall
maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder policies and
fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant
to Section 3.18.

         Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the
amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce
any successor Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to act as successor
Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein.

         Section  7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

         (a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to the Rating Agencies.

         (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.

         Section  7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.

         The Holders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such
default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section
7.01(vi)); provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under
clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver
pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the
manner set forth in the second paragraph of Section 11.01


                                       98
<PAGE>

or materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any
such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the
requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default
or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and
shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
The Master Servicer shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

         Section  7.05. List of Certificateholders.

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

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

         Section  8.01. Duties of Trustee.

         The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs, is continuing and has
not been waived, 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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

         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 in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement. 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer hereunder or any Opinion of
Counsel required hereunder.

         The Trustee shall prepare and file or cause to be filed on behalf of
the Trust Fund any tax return that is required with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws.

         The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations
hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC
3 under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state
or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on any of
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the extent that maintaining such status and
avoiding such taxes are within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably
within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.

         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 willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

         (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiver of all


                                      100
<PAGE>

such Events of Default 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 liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and

         (iii) The Trustee shall not be 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 Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.

         Section  8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

         (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected
in acting or refraining from acting in reliance 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;

         (b) 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
therewith;

         (c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to
give notice pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however,
relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee's corporate trust
department has actual knowledge (which has not been waived or cured), to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this


                                      101
<PAGE>

Agreement, and to 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;

         (d) The Trustee shall not be 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;

         (e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after
the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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 document,
unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights; 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, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

         (f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees,
custodians or attorneys appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible
for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney,
custodian or nominee so appointed;

         (g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with
respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted
hereunder; and

         (h) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement
the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
certificate signed and delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the
absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be
full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.

         The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash
held in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the
Master Servicer. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of
investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no
liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to
its stated maturity or the failure of the Master Servicer to provide timely
written investment direction.

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

         The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates,
the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II) shall be taken as
the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties 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 of MERS or the MERS(R) System. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Company or the Master Servicer in respect
of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account by
the Master Servicer.

         Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity (other than as
Trustee hereunder) may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with the
parties hereto.

         Section 8.05. Trustee's Fees.

         On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw
from the Certificate Account as compensation hereunder the Trustee Fees. Such
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be paid for all
services rendered by it (except as otherwise reimbursed by the Seller pursuant
to a separate fee letter between the Seller and the Trustee) in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder or of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any
claim, loss, liability, fee or expense incurred in connection with any Event of
Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including
any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to the acceptance or
administration of its trusts hereunder or the Trustee's performance under the
Certificates, other than any claim, loss, liability or expense (i) sustained in
connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or
(ii) incurred in connection with a breach constituting willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or
by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

         The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any such claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), loss, liability,
fee or expense that may be sustained in connection with this Agreement


                                      103
<PAGE>

related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance
of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.

         Section  8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

         The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any state or
the United States of America or the District of Columbia, 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. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be acceptable to
the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation 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 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Seller and their affiliates or
the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation
cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role
as successor to the Master Servicer.

         Section  8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

         The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer; with a
copy to the Rating Agencies; provided, that such resignation shall not be
effective until a successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment in
accordance with the following provisions; provided, however, that the resigning
Trustee shall not resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created until
such time as the Rating Agency rating the Certificates approves the successor
trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of
Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have 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 Master Servicer, or if at any


                                      104
<PAGE>

time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged 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, the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written
instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and to the successor trustee.

         The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Company by the
Master Servicer.

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 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 Master 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 the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and
expenses, promptly deliver to the successor trustee all assets and records of
the Trust Fund held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver all such instruments and do such other things
as may reasonably be required for more 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 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice
within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Master Servicer.

         Section  8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

         Any state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking
association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or corporation or
national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or corporation or national
banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
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 hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer 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 Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment
without the Master Servicer. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall
be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.

         In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred or such
co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given


                                      106
<PAGE>

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.

         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.

                                   TERMINATION

         Section  9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
                        Mortgage Loans or upon Purchase of Certificates.

         (a) Subject to Section 9.03, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the
earlier to occur of (i) the repurchase by the Holder of a 50.01% or greater
Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates (the "Majority Class C
Certificateholders") or its designee of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) 100% of
the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than one as to which a
REO Property was acquired) on the day of repurchase together with accrued
interest on such unpaid principal balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first
day of the month in which the proceeds of such repurchase are to be distributed,
plus (b) the appraised value of any REO Property (but not more than the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued interest
on that balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month such
repurchase price is distributed), less the good faith estimate of the Majority
Class C Certificateholders of liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection
with its disposal thereof, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Majority Class C Certificateholders and the Trustee
at the expense of the Master Servicer, and (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect
thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date occurring in August
2032 and (ii) 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, living on the date hereof, and provided further, that
the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as
determined by the Majority Class C Certificateholders, to avoid disqualification
of any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as a REMIC. In the case of any repurchase
by the Majority Class C Certificateholders pursuant to clause (i), the Master
Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the Trustee
in effecting such repurchase and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and related
Mortgage Files and related records to the Majority Class C Certificateholders.

         The right of the Majority Class C Certificateholders or its designee to
repurchase all Mortgage Loans pursuant to (i) above shall be conditioned upon
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans at the time of any
such repurchase aggregating an amount equal


                                      108
<PAGE>

to or less than 20% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the Cut-off Date. If such right is exercised, the Majority Class C
Certificateholders upon such repurchase shall provide to the Trustee, notice of
such exercise prior to the Determination Date in the month preceding the month
of purchase and the certification required by Section 3.16.

         Written notice of any termination, specifying the 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 by letter to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the Majority Class C
Certificateholder's election to repurchase, not earlier than the 15th day and
not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or
before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office of the Trustee therein specified. In the event such notice is given in
connection with the Majority Class C Certificateholder or its designee's
election to repurchase, the Majority Class C Certificateholder or its designee
shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date specified in such
notice an amount equal to the above-described repurchase price payable out of
its own funds. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall first, pay itself the Trustee's Fees for
such Distribution Date and any other amounts owing to the Trustee under this
Agreement, and second, distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the
Majority Class C Certificateholder's election to repurchase, or (ii) if the
Majority Class C Certificateholder elected to so repurchase, an amount
determined as follows: with respect to each Regular Certificate (other than the
Class A-IO Certificates), the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof,
plus with respect to each Regular Certificate (other than the Class P
Certificates), one month's interest thereon at the applicable Pass- Through Rate
and any Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, plus with respect to each Mezzanine
Certificate and Subordinate Certificate, any unpaid Allocated Realized Loss
Amount; and with respect to the Class R Certificates, the Percentage Interest
evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above
described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the
Holders of the Regular Certificates, subject to the priorities set forth in
Section 4.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by acceptance of the Class R
Certificates, the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree, in connection with
any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts received in
respect of such termination to the Holders of the Class C Certificates and to
pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer, following such final
deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage Files as directed by
the Majority Class C Certificateholder for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the
Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
required by the


                                      109
<PAGE>

Majority Class C Certificateholder as being necessary to effectuate such
transfer.

         In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified
in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice to the
remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months
after the second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the
Company in writing, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain
subject hereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto.

         Section  9.02. Termination of REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.

         REMIC 2 shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final Distribution
Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed distributions
on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the last distribution due on the REMIC 2
Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2
Interest) is made. REMIC 3 shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final
Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed
distributions on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the last distribution due on
the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class
R-3 Interest) is made.

         Section  9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.

         (a) In the event the Majority Class C Certificateholder repurchases the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated
in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Majority
Class C Certificateholder, at its own expense, obtains for the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply
with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition
on the Trust of taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F
of the Code, or (ii) cause either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:

                  (i) The Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period
for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3, as the case may be, and specify the first day
of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return
pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Trustee also shall
satisfy all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3, as the case may be, under Section 860F of the Code and regulations
thereunder; and

                  (ii) The Majority Class C Certificateholder shall notify the
Trustee at the


                                      110
<PAGE>

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

         (b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably
approves and appoints the Master Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a
plan of complete liquidation for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 at the expense of
the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                                REMIC PROVISIONS

         Section  10.01. REMIC Administration.

         (a) The Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as three
REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC elections in respect of
the Trust Fund, (i) the Class R-1 Interest will constitute the sole class of
"residual interest" in REMIC 1, (ii) the Class R-2 Interest will constitute the
sole class of "residual interest" in REMIC 2, and (iii) the Class R-3 Interest
will constitute the sole class of "residual interest" in REMIC 3, and the
Regular Certificates shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC 3.
The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any
"interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC 1, REMIC 2
or REMIC 3 other than the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Interest
(in the case of REMIC 1), the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Class R-2
Interest (in the case of REMIC 2), and the Regular Certificates and the Class
R-3 Interest (in the case of REMIC 3). The Trustee will apply for an Employee
Identification Number from the IRS via form SS-4 or any other acceptable method
for each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.

         (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the
Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

         (c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the REMICs
(including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to the REMICs that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense of obtaining
any tax-related Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Trustee, as
agent for the REMICs' tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMICs
in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii)
represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect
thereto. By their acceptance thereof, the Holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the REMICs.

         (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax Returns
(including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days of the Closing Date) in
respect of the REMICs created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement
therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or
its


                                      112
<PAGE>

designee such information with respect to the assets of the REMICs as is in its
possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its
obligations under this Article X.

         (e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the REMICs all reporting and
other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMICs 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,
as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance,
the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of the REMICs. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely
basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the REMICs,
including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and
reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under
this subsection. In addition, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided
to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or
data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as
to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of
the Certificates.

         (f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the REMICs
created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master
Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The Trustee
shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 the
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as REMICs or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the REMICs (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse
REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed
to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in
no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not, with respect to the REMICs created hereunder, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer
take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to
which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the REMICs
or the assets of the REMICs, or causing the REMICs to take any action, which is
not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will
consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to the


                                      113
<PAGE>

Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause the
Trust Fund to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with
counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the
party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the
assets of the REMICs created hereunder will consist of "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

         (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions"
of the REMICs created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of the REMICs as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the REMICs after the Startup Day
therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by
the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall
be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations
under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or
otherwise, (iii) to the Master Servicer as provided in Section 3.05 and (iv)
against amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and shall be paid by
withdrawal therefrom to the extent not required to be paid by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

         (h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15,
2004, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agency a
Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee's
compliance with this Article X.

         (i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.

         (j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any
contributions of assets to the REMICs other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.04
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the REMICs will not cause the REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or
REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as REMICs at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding or subject either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to any tax under the
REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law
or ordinances.

         (k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit the REMICs to receive any income from assets other than

disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section  11.01. Amendment.

         This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any 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 or to correct any error, (iii) to amend this Agreement in any
respect subject to the provisions in clauses (A) and (B) below, or (iv) if such
amendment, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person
requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary to
comply with any requirements imposed by the Code or any successor or amendatory
statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue ruling, revenue procedure
or other written official announcement or interpretation relating to federal
income tax laws or any proposed such action which, if made effective, would
apply retroactively to the Trust Fund at least from the effective date of such
amendment; provided that such action (except any amendment described in (iv)
above) shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder (other than Certificateholders who shall consent to such
amendment), as evidenced by (A) an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person
requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, and (B) a letter from each
Rating Agency, confirming that such amendment shall not cause it to lower its
rating on any of the Certificates.

         This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee and Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights 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 shall (i) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are
required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder
of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described
in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights of such Class, or (iii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Seller or the
Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with
respect to matters described in (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

         Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel


                                      116
<PAGE>

(provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such
amendment will not result in the imposition of any tax on either REMIC 1, REMIC
2 or REMIC 3 pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause either REMIC 1, REMIC 2
or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.

         Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a copy of such amendment or a written statement describing the amendment
to each Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
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.

         Prior to executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person
requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement. The cost of any Opinion of Counsel delivered
pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be an expense of the party requesting such
amendment, but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee.

         The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section 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
Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but only upon
direction of the Company 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 constitute but one and
the same instrument.

         Section  11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

         No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly
provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, 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 party 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 notice of an Event of Default, or of a default
by the Seller or the Trustee in the performance of any obligation hereunder, and
of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% 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 60 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, 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, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.

         Section  11.04. Governing Law.

         This Agreement and the Certificates shall be 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.

         This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund,
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac
Secured Assets Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their
affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates
will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the
Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate by
the aggregate Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of all
Class A-____ Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions
with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of
conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Impac Secured Assets Corp. (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement


                                       A-2

referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the
Company, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. 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.

         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, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of [interest
and] [principal], if any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class
A-____Certificates on such Distribution Date.

         Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or
by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds
(by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto
if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least
5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.

         Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set
forth above. [The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.]

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

         The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.



                                       A-3

         As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer of advances
made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

         The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates
and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the purchase by the Holder of at least 50.01% Percentage Interest in the
Class C Certificates (the "Majority Class C Certificateholder") from the Trust
Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof
remaining in the Trust Fund, thereby effecting early retirement of the
Certificates and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or
the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits,
but does not require, the Majority Class C Certificateholder to purchase at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all REO Property; provided, that any such option may only be exercised on the
earlier of the Distribution Date after the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than twenty percent of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date, and the
Distribution Date occurring in February 2013.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

         evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
         Class [M-__] [B] Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund consisting
         primarily of a pool of conforming one- to four-family fixed-rate first
         lien mortgage loans formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

         This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund,
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac
Secured Assets Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their
affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates
will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the
Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate
Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class [M-_][B] Certificates, both
as specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of conforming one- to four-family fixed-rate
first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Impac
Secured Assets Corp. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above
(the "Agreement") among


                                      B-1-2

<PAGE>



the Company, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. 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.

         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, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and
principal, if any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class [M-__][B]
Certificates on such Distribution Date.

         Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or
by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds
(by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto
if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least
5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.

         Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The
Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of [the
distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

         The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.

         As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including


                                      B-1-3

<PAGE>



without limitation reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

         The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates
and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the purchase by the Holder of at least 50.01% Percentage Interest in the
Class C Certificates (the "Majority Class C Certificateholder") from the Trust
Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof
remaining in the Trust Fund, thereby effecting early retirement of the
Certificates and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or
the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits,
but does not require, the Majority Class C Certificateholder to purchase at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all REO Property; provided, that any such option may only be exercised on the
earlier of the Distribution Date after the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than twenty percent of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date, and the
Distribution Date occurring in February 2013.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                        MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
                                  SERIES 2003-1

         evidencing percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the
         Class C Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily
         of a pool of conforming one- to four- family fixed-rate first lien
         mortgage loans formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

         This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund,
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac
Secured Assets Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their
affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates
will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other or obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that __________ is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class C Certificate (obtained by dividing
the Original Class C Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal
Balance) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust consisting primarily
of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Impac Secured Assets Corp. (the "Company").
The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
February 1, 2003 (the "Agreement") among the Company, Impac Funding Corporation,
as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.


                                      B-2-2

This Class C Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class C
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder
is bound.

         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, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest
and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class C
Certificates on such Distribution Date.

         Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or
by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds
(by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto
if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least
5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register.

         Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New York.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

         The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.

         As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer of advances
made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

         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


                                      B-2-3

<PAGE>



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 Company 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 Company 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 Master Servicer or the Company; or
there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Company a transferor certificate
by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee.
The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee and the Company 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.

         No transfer of this Certificate to a 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 using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized


                                      B-2-4

<PAGE>



denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

         The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates
and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of
(i) the purchase by the Holder of at least 50.01% Percentage Interest in the
Class C Certificates (the "Majority Class C Certificateholder") from the Trust
Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof
remaining in the Trust Fund, thereby effecting early retirement of the
Certificates and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or
the disposition of all REO Property in respect, thereof). The Agreement permits,
but does not require, the Majority Class C Certificateholder to purchase at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all REO Property; provided, that any such option may only be exercised on the
earlier of the Distribution Date after the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than twenty percent of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date, and the
Distribution Date occurring in February 2013.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Trustee and the Company a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the

Certifrcateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of

Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

the disposition of all REO Property in respects hereof). The Agreement permits,
but does not require, the Majority Class C Certificateholder to purchase at a

all REO Property; provided, that any such option may only be exercised on the
earlier of the Distribution Date after the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than twenty percent of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date, and the
Distribution Date occurring in February 2013.

         of a pool of one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans
         formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

         This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund,
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Impac Secured Assets
Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac
Secured Assets Corp., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their

"Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Impac Secured Assets Corp. (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the
Company, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. 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 Patent 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 in California.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").

         As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer of advances
made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.

         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 Company in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule

the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company; or there shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Company a transferor certificate by the transferor and an
investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Company 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.

4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.

         Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest, in

knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in
violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no
rights in the purported transferee. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee will
provide the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the
information needed to compute the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on
transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations, if any person
other than a Permitted Transferee acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions mentioned above.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

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

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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than twenty percent of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date, and the

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         ______________ (the "Purchaser") intends to purchase from
______________ (the "Seller") $_________ Initial Certificate Principal Balance
of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-1, Class _____ (the
"Certificates"), issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of February 1, 2003 among Impac
Secured Assets Corp., as company (the "Company"), Impac Funding Corporation, as
master servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby
certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the
Trustee that:

                           1. The Purchaser understands that (a) the
                  Certificates have not been and will not be registered or
                  qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act") or any state securities law, (b) the Company is not
                  required to so register or qualify the Certificates, (c) the
                  Certificates may be resold only if registered and qualified
                  pursuant to the provisions of the Act or any state securities
                  law, or if an exemption from such registration and
                  qualification is available, (d) the Pooling and Servicing
                  Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer of the
                  Certificates and (e) the Certificates will bear a legend to
                  the foregoing effect.

                              2. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for
                    its own account for investment only and not with a view to
                    or for sale in connection with any distribution


                                      G-1-1

<PAGE>



                  thereof in any manner that would violate the Act or any
                  applicable state securities laws.

                           3. The Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated
                  institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in
                  financial and business matters, and, in particular, in such
                  matters related to securities similar to the Certificates,
                  such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
                  investment in the Certificates, (b) able to bear the economic
                  risks of such an investment and (c) an "accredited investor"
                  within the meaning of Rule 501 (a) promulgated pursuant to the
                  Act.

                           4. The Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had
                  an opportunity to review (a) [a copy of the Private Placement
                  Memorandum, dated June 28, 2002, relating to the Certificates
                  (b)] a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and [(b)]
                  [(c)] such other information concerning the Certificates, the
                  Mortgage Loans and the Company as has been requested by the
                  Purchaser from the Company or the Seller and is relevant to
                  the Purchaser's decision to purchase the Certificates. The
                  Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review
                  answered by the Company or the Seller to the satisfaction of
                  the Purchaser. [If the Purchaser did not purchase the
                  Certificates from the Seller in connection with the initial
                  distribution of the Certificates and was provided with a copy
                  of the Private Placement Memorandum (the "Memorandum")
                  relating to the original sale (the "Original Sale") of the
                  Certificates by the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges that
                  such Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller, that the
                  Memorandum was prepared by the Company solely for use in
                  connection with the Original Sale and the Company did not
                  participate in or facilitate in any way the purchase of the
                  Certificates by the Purchaser from the Seller, and the
                  Purchaser agrees that it will look solely to the Seller and
                  not to the Company with respect to any damage, liability,
                  claim or expense arising out of, resulting from or in
                  connection with (a) error or omission, or alleged error or
                  omission, contained in the Memorandum, or (b) any information,
                  development or event arising after the date of the
                  Memorandum.]

                           5. The Purchaser has not and will not nor has it
                  authorized or will it authorize any person to (a) offer,
                  pledge, sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any
                  Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other
                  similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicit any
                  offer to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition of other
                  transfer of any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate
                  or any other similar security from any person in any manner,
                  (c) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any
                  Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other
                  similar security with any person in any manner, (d) make any
                  general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
                  other manner or (e) take any other action, that (as to any of
                  (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of any
                  Certificate under the Act, that would render the disposition
                  of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any
                  state securities law, or that would require registration or
                  qualification pursuant


                                      G-1-2

                  thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any
                  of the Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions
                  of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


                                                     Very truly yours,

                  any other manner, or taken any other action, that would

certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.

         Re:      Impac Secured Assets Corp. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
                  Series 2003-1, Class R

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  This letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by
________________________ (the "Seller") to
__________________________________________ (the "Purchaser") of a ____%
Percentage Interest in the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-1,
Class R (the "Certificates"), issued pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of
February 1, 2003, among Impac Secured Assets Corp., as company (the "Company"),
Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Company and the Trustee that:

                 1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the sale of the
Certificates by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax.

                  2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the
form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-5. The Seller
does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

<PAGE>



                  3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E- 1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has
historically paid its debts as they have become due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of the
Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.

                 4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is a Disqualified Organization, an agent of a Disqualified
Organization or a Non-United States Person.


                                               Very truly yours,

COUNTY OF                           )


         ___________________, being first duly sworn, deposes, represents and
warrants:

         1. That he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner], a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of __________] [the United States], (the "Owner"), (record or beneficial
owner of the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates") on behalf of
which he/she makes this affidavit and agreement). This Class R Certificates were
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") dated as of February 1, 2003 among Impac Secured Assets
Corp., as company, Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer"), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the
"Trustee").

         2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of _____________ [date of transfer] within the meaning of
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for
so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and
(iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the
account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this
purpose, a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are
subject to tax and, except for Freddie Mac, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).

         3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code,
that applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii)
that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an
agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge


                                      G-5-1

<PAGE>



that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be
"noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of 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.

         4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (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.)

         5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.

         6. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in
particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the
Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in
violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.

         7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.

         8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is _____________________.

         9. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.

         10. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the
Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.

         11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the


                                      G-5-2

<PAGE>



Class R Certificate that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding
such Class R Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may
incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R
Certificate.

         12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the
Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

         13. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, provided that
with respect to any partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes, all persons that own an interest in
such partnership either directly or through any entity that is not a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes are required by the applicable
operative agreement to be United States Persons, or an estate or trust whose
income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for
United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

         14. (a) The Certificates (i) are not being acquired by, and will not be
transferred to, any employee benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(3) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or
other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and
annuities, Keogh plans and bank collective investment funds and insurance
company general or separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") (any of the foregoing, a
"Plan"), (ii) are not being acquired with "plan assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor ("DOL") regulation, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101
or otherwise under ERISA, and (iii) will not be transferred to any entity that
is deemed to be investing in plan assets within the meaning of the DOL
regulation, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA; or

                  (b) The Owner will provide the Trustee, the Company and the
Master Servicer with an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer to
the effect that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Company or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         In addition, the Owner hereby certifies, represents and warrants to,
and covenants with, the Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the
Owner will not transfer such Certificates to any Plan or person unless either
such Plan or person meets the requirements set forth in either (a) or (b) above.

deliver a Seller's Warranty Certificate and an Officer's Certificate on the
Closing Date (i) reaffirming such representations and warranties and (ii)
specifically restating and reaffirming the following representations and
warranties as of such date. The following representations are, pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, assigned by the Company to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, together with the related repurchase rights

                  Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects
                  with applicable state and federal laws, including, without
                  limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity and disclosure
                  laws; and each Mortgage Loan is being serviced in all material

                  limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity and disclosure
                  laws;

                           (xii) a lender's title insurance policy (on an ALTA
                  or CLTA form) or binder, or other assurance of title customary
                  in the relevant jurisdiction therefor in a form acceptable to
                  Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, was issued on the date that each
                  Mortgage Loan was created by a title insurance company which,
                  to the best of Seller's knowledge, was qualified to do
                  business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged
                  Property is located, insuring the Seller and its successors
                  and assigns that the Mortgage is a first priority lien on the
                  related Mortgaged Property in the original principal amount of
                  the Mortgage Loan. Seller is the sole insured under such
                  lender's title insurance policy, and such policy, binder or
                  assurance is valid and remains in full force and effect, and
                  each such policy, binder or assurance shall contain all

                  currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage or if no duly
                  qualified trustee has been properly designated and so serves,
                  the Mortgage contains satisfactory provisions for the
                  appointment of such trustee by the holder of the Mortgage at
                  no cost or expense to such holder, and no fees or expenses are
                  or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the
                  deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
                  after default by the mortgagor;

                  Loan at origination was not more than 100.00%; (ii) each
                  Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in

                  a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a private mortgage
                  insurer or (b) a Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy. Each Primary
                  Insurance Policy will insure against default under each
                  insured Mortgage Note as follows: (i) for which the
                  outstanding principal balance at origination of such Mortgage
                  Loan is greater than or equal to 80.01% and up to and
                  including 90.00% of the lesser of the Appraised Value and the
                  sales price, such Mortgage Loan is covered by a Primary
                  Insurance Policy in an amount equal to at least 20.00% of the
                  Allowable Claim and (ii) for which the outstanding principal

                  amount equal to at least 25.00% of the Allowable Claim. Each
                  Radian Lender-Paid PMI Policy will insure against default

                  Loan as follows: (A) for which the outstanding principal
                  balance at origination of such Mortgage Loan is at least
                  80.01% and up to and including 95.00% of the lesser of the
                  Appraised Value and the sales price, such Mortgage Loan is

                  Mortgaged Property at the time of origination of such Mortgage
                  Loan. The "Allowable Claim" for any Mortgage Loan covered by a

                  the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus
                  accrued interest and allowable expenses at the time of the
                  claim,

                  balance) will be secured by Mortgages on owner-occupied
                  primary residence properties;

                  Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
                  amount required by the Mortgage, except for (i) interest
                  accruing from the date of the related Mortgage Note or date of
                  disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is

                  other agreements executed in connection therewith are genuine,
                  and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
                  maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms except
                  as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
                  of creditor's rights generally and by general equity
                  principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is

                  Mortgage Loan has been in accordance with the servicing
                  standard set forth in Section 3.01 of the Pooling and
                  Servicing Agreement and the terms of the Mortgage Notes, the

                  the Mortgage Loan to, any of them, or any servicing agent of

                  against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
                  security, including realization by judicial, or, if
                  applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, and, to Seller's
                  knowledge, there is no homestead or other exemption available
                  to the Mortgagor which would interfere with such right to
                  foreclosure;

                           (xxi) except with respect to holdbacks required by
                  certain Mortgage Loans which holdbacks create a fund for (i)
