                                  COMPENSATION


         SECTION 2.1. TRANSFER OF SERVICING FILES TO THE SERVICER.

                  (a) The Assets will become a part of the Servicing Portfolio
         on the Closing Date. The Owners shall cause the Current Servicer to
         transfer to the Servicer the Servicing Files and other servicing
         records necessary to provide current data with respect to each of the
         Assets in the manner and at such time as set forth in the Servicing
         Rights Purchase Agreement. In the event that not all of the related
         Servicing Files and other necessary servicing records are transferred
         in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Rights
         Purchase Agreement, the Servicer, at the Owner's expense, shall use its
         best efforts to cause the Current Servicer to transfer to the Servicer
         any Servicing Files and other servicing records necessary to provide
         current data with respect to each Asset that was not transferred to the
         Servicer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing
         Rights Purchase Agreement. The Servicer shall transfer and convert the
         Servicing Files to the Servicer's system as soon as reasonably possible
         from the date of receipt by the Servicer of the Servicing Files and
         such other documents as are reasonably necessary to service the Assets
         from the Current Servicer, but in no event later than five (5) Business
         Days following such receipt.

                  (b) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Servicer owns the
         Servicing Rights and, subject to Section 6.01 of the Servicing Rights
         Purchase Agreement, assumes and accepts responsibility for providing
         the services described herein with respect to each Asset; provided,
         however, that if the Servicer is making diligent efforts to complete
         and verify the Servicing File because a Servicing File is not complete
         or contains incorrect information on the Transfer Date, the Servicer
         shall not be responsible for any failure to provide any service
         hereunder, or for any inaction or any action taken hereunder related to
         such incompleteness or incorrectness.

                  (c) The Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of
         Servicing Advances with respect to an Asset unless the Servicer has
         been provided with the necessary information to determine the
         existence, amount and due date of such obligations, in which case the
         Servicer shall determine in accordance with Accepted Servicing
         Practices whether or not to make any such payments within five (5)
         Business Days after it has been provided with such information. In the
         case of property taxes and similar items, the Servicer shall be deemed
         not to have knowledge of the existence, amount and/or due date of such
         obligations until two (2) Business Days after receiving a current
         report with respect to the Property from a tax service retained by or
         transferred to the Servicer. The Servicer shall take any required
         action with respect to the information from the tax service within five
         (5) Business Days of such current report. The Servicer shall be
         entitled to rely in all respects on any tax service report and shall
         have no liability to the Owners if a tax sale occurs for which the
         Servicer (i) received no notice from the applicable taxing authority,
         or (ii) received a report from a tax service indicating that the taxes
         were current.

                  (d) Upon reasonable request by the Servicer, each Owner shall
         furnish the Servicer with such limited powers of attorney and other
         documents prepared by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory in form
         and substance to such Owner as may be necessary or appropriate to
         enable the Servicer to liquidate, collect payments against and
         otherwise service and manage the Assets in accordance with this
         Agreement. Additionally, the Servicer may appoint certain designated
         servicing officers in a writing to an Owner and such designated
         servicing officers shall be authorized to act on behalf of such Owner
         hereunder. Such list (or any amended list) designating such servicing
         officers shall be sufficient so long as it is executed by any officer
         of the Servicer. All documents so provided to the Servicer shall be
         held in trust by the Servicer on behalf of such Owner.

                  (e) The Owners agree to cooperate fully with the Servicer with
         respect to all reasonable requests made by the Servicer in connection
         with this Section 2.1.

                  (f) The Servicer shall have no obligation or responsibility
         for preparing or recording mortgage assignments or filing financing
         statements with respect to any Asset, provided, however, that the
         Servicer shall, at the related Owner's cost, record mortgage
         assignments if necessary to service a Mortgage Loan in accordance with
         this Agreement and shall prepare and file continuation statements to
         original UCC-1 financing statements for Assets for which such original
         financing statements and filing information are included in the related
         Asset File.

         SECTION 2.2. CUSTODIAL FILES TO BE HELD BY SERVICER. The Servicer
agrees to act as Custodian for the Custodial Files relating to the Assets. In
such capacity, the Servicer shall act exclusively as the Custodian for, and the
bailee of the related Owners to the extent of their respective interests
therein. Metropolitan, on behalf of the Owners, shall pay a one-time fee of
$10,000 to the Servicer in consideration for acting as Custodian of the
Custodial Files, such fee to be payable on the Closing Date in accordance with
the instructions provided to Metropolitan by the Servicer. The Owners shall
cause the related Custodial Files to be delivered to the Servicer in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement.

         The Servicer shall retain possession of any Custodial Documents at all
times unless (i) the Asset has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Asset have been deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) the
Custodial Documents have 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, forfeiture or similar
action with respect to the related Property or to otherwise pursue a default
against an Obligor of an Asset or (iii) the Servicer returns the Custodial
Documents to related Owner or its designee pursuant to the written request of
such Owner.

         Custodial Documents held by the Servicer are and shall be held in trust
by the Servicer for the benefit of the related Owner as the owner thereof and
the Servicer's possession of the Custodial Documents so retained is at the will
of such Owner for the sole purpose of servicing the related Asset, and such
retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity

only. The Custodial Documents with respect to each Asset shall be appropriately
marked to clearly reflect the ownership of such Asset by the related Owner.

         SECTION 2.3. SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES.

         Subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall have full
power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Subject to Section 2.1 and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, in
performing its obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall comply with the
following with respect to each Asset, continuously from the date hereof until
the date each Asset ceases to be subject to this Agreement. To the extent there
is a conflict between the provisions set forth below and the Accepted Servicing
Practices, the Accepted Servicing Practices shall control:

                  (a) The Servicer shall hold all funds received for the Owners
         hereunder in trust for such Owners in a segregated Collection Account
         in accordance with all applicable Requirements. Such funds shall be
         deposited to the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of
         receipt. The Collection Account shall be held at the Servicer, or if it
         is not held at the Servicer, then it must be an Eligible Account. In
         the event the amount held in the Collection Account maintained at the
         Servicer exceeds $5 million, the Servicer shall promptly deposit any
         excess amounts to another Collection Account not maintained at the
         Servicer. Any amounts held in the Collection Account may be, but are
         not required to be, invested by the Servicer in Permitted Investments.
         Any income on the Collection Account shall belong to the Servicer and
         may be withdrawn therefrom in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3. If
         losses are incurred on investments in the Collection Account, the
         Servicer promptly shall deposit, from its own funds without right to
         reimbursement, the full amount of such losses. The Servicer shall make
         remittances from the Collection Account as provided in Sections 6.2 and
         6.3. The Servicer shall hold all funds received to cover Escrow
         Payments in connection with the Assets in trust for the related Owners
         and the related Obligor in a segregated Escrow Account (which shall be
         maintained in accordance with all applicable Requirements and the terms
         of the Custodial Documents). The Servicer shall disburse such funds
         from the appropriate Escrow Accounts as necessary or advisable. The
         Servicer shall also be authorized to hold all partial payments and
         forbearance payments in the Escrow Account and shall not be required to
         deposit same into the Collection Account nor to remit same to the
         related Owner until such time as the Servicer applies such payments to
         the applicable Asset.

                  (b) The Servicer shall timely determine the amounts of all
         required disbursements from the Escrow Accounts and shall make
         disbursements as they become due. The Servicer shall also determine
         whether any delinquency exists in the payment of Escrow Payments and
         shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such deficient
         amounts to be paid by the Obligor. If there are not sufficient funds in
         the appropriate Escrow Account to make such payments as they become
         due, the Servicer shall advance Escrow Payments unless the Servicer
         determines in its reasonable judgment that an advance pursuant to this
         or any other section will not be ultimately recoverable from late


Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 14
<PAGE>

         payments, insurance proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or any other
         recovery on such Asset or the related Property (a "Non-Recoverable
         Advance"). If the Servicer determines that the Escrow Payment would
         constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, the Servicer will not be
         obligated to make such advance. Any advances made towards Escrow
         Payments shall be deemed to be Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall
         be entitled to reimbursement of all such Servicing Advances as provided
         in Section 6.2.

                  (c) The Servicer shall comply with the provisions of all
         applicable Contract Requirements, the Requirements and the Custodial
         Documents relating to the giving of all notices or other communications
         required to be given by or on behalf of the related Owner to any
         Mortgage Insurer, title insurer or other insurer or guarantor, as
         applicable. The Servicer shall maintain all licenses that are material
         to servicing the Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Where any
         applicable Requirement or the Custodial Documents require any notice or
         other communication to be given to an Obligor, the Servicer shall, in
         the absence of instructions to the contrary from the related Owner,
         give such notice or other communication to the Obligor.

                  (d) In accordance with the Acceptable Servicing Practices, the
         Servicer shall advance the payment of property taxes and other similar
         payments that are not timely paid by an Obligor on the date when such
         tax or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, in each
         instance if and to the extent amounts deposited into any related Escrow
         Account are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related
         Obligor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, but the Servicer
         shall be required to so advance only to the extent that such Servicing
         Advances would not be deemed to be a Non-Recoverable Advance. If there
         is no Escrow Account, the Servicer will be required to advance such
         amounts necessary to protect the related Owner's interest in such
         Mortgaged Property in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices.
         The Servicer also will be required to make Servicing Advances necessary
         to protect the related Owner's interest in any REO Property in
         accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices. All such Servicing
         Advances shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as provided in Section
         6.02. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
         the Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance that
         it deems to be a Non-Recoverable Advance.

                  (e) The Servicer shall, as a Property Protection Expense if
         not paid by an Obligor, (i) enforce the Obligor's obligations under the
         Custodial Documents to cause each Property to be insured against risks,
         hazards and liabilities as required by all applicable Requirements and
         the Custodial Documents, in an amount at least equal to the unpaid
         principal balance of the Asset, and (ii) cause each real estate owned
         Property to be insured against risks, hazards and liabilities, in an
         amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the full
         replacement value of the improvements which are a part of such real
         estate owned Property, and (B) the outstanding principal balance of the
         related Asset at the time it became real estate owned Property; such
         insurance shall be obtained from a financially sound and reputable
         insurance carrier. The Servicer shall retain copies of all Hazard
         Insurance policies or certificates of insurance representing such
         coverage. The Servicer shall comply with all of the terms of Mortgage
         Insurance and guarantees

Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 15

         relating to any Asset and shall use its best efforts to maintain such
         Mortgage Insurance and guarantees in full force and effect provided
         that the Servicer has actual knowledge of such insurance or guaranty.
         In the event of an insured loss with respect to any Property, unless
         the Servicer has actual knowledge that the Obligor has filed such a
         claim with respect to a Property, the Servicer shall promptly file or
         cause to be filed a claim on the Hazard Insurance. In the case of a
         Property, the Servicer shall apply or disburse all insurance proceeds
         in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Custodial Documents
         and all Requirements, and, in the case of a real estate owned Property,
         the Servicer shall apply or disburse all insurance proceeds in
         accordance with the instructions of the related Owner, in each case net
         of any amounts due to the Servicer as otherwise provided herein. The
         Servicer shall be responsible for submitting a claim under any Mortgage
         Insurance or other guaranty or insurance on a timely basis provided
         that the Servicer has actual knowledge of such insurance or guaranty.
         Except as otherwise prescribed by Accepted Servicing Practices with
         respect to any Assets which are not first liens on the related
         Properties, the Servicer shall, as a Property Protection Expense and
         where the Obligor fails or refuses to maintain insurance on the
         Property in accordance with the applicable Custodial Documents (or to
         pay escrows sufficient therefor, as the case may be), subject the
         Properties to the coverage of its "force-placed" hazard insurance
         policy with such deductible as the Servicer maintains for similar
         properties serviced for itself and for others by the Servicer. The
         amount of any premiums to the Servicer resulting from obtaining such
         coverage shall be treated as a Property Protection Expense hereunder.
         The related Owner shall be solely responsible for the amount of the
         deductible in the event of any loss and the Servicer shall have no
         liability to such Owner therefor; provided however that the Servicer
         will take all reasonable action in accordance with Accepted Servicing
         Practices to collect such amounts from the Obligor.

                  Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall keep in
         force during the term of this Agreement a fidelity bond and a policy or
         policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance
         of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement. Such fidelity bond
         and policy or policies shall be maintained with recognized insurers and
         shall be in such form and amount as would permit the Servicer to be
         qualified as a FNMA or FHLMC seller-servicer. The Servicer shall be
         deemed to have complied with this provision if an affiliate of the
         Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and,
         by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage
         afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. The Servicer shall provide
         Metropolitan, on behalf of the Owners, with a copy of such bond or
         insurance policy on or prior to the Closing Date and shall provide
         Metropolitan in the future within a reasonable time of receipt thereof
         with copies of any material endorsements to any such policy or bond or
         new or replacement polices or bonds.

                  If life-of-loan flood zone determination tracking currently
         exists and has been transferred to the Servicer with respect to a
         Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall ensure that Flood Insurance is
         maintained on the related Property that are identified in the Federal
         Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
         flood hazards (and the flood insurance described below has been made
         available). Any such Flood

<PAGE>

         Insurance shall meet the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
         Administration and shall be with a generally acceptable insurance
         carrier. If life-of loan flood zone determination tracking has not been
         transferred to the Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the
         Servicer shall not have an obligation to track or maintain flood
         insurance with respect to the related Property.

                  The amount of the Flood Insurance Policy shall equal not less
         than the least of (i) the lesser of (a) the unpaid principal balance of
         the Asset, plus accrued interest and the aggregate of all Servicing
         Advances, and (b) the full insurable value of the Property, but in each
         case not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the mortgagor
         and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or loss payee, and (ii)
         the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood
         Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

                  (f) The Servicer shall prepare promptly each report required
         by all applicable Requirements including reports to be delivered to all
         governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the servicing of the
         Assets and the Escrow Accounts, shall execute such reports or, if the
         related Owner must execute such reports, shall deliver such reports to
         such Owner for execution prior to the date on which such reports are
         due and shall file such reports with the appropriate Persons. The
         Servicer shall timely prepare and deliver to the appropriate Persons
         such Internal Revenue Service forms as is required to service the
         Assets in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Standards, including
         but not limited to 1098 int, 1098 misc, 1099, 1099A and 1099C (or any
         similar replacement, amended or updated Internal Revenue Service forms)
         that are required with respect to any Asset for the time period such
         Asset has been serviced by the Servicer. The related Owner shall be
         solely responsible for filing any other forms including, without
         limitation and to the extent applicable, forms 1041 and K-1 or any
         similar replacement, amended or updated Internal Revenue Service forms.
         The reports to be provided under this subsection shall cover the period
         through the end of the month following the termination of this
         Agreement or, in the case of reports to be sent to the Internal Revenue
         Service, the end of the calendar year following termination of the
         Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly prepare all reports or other
         information required to respond to any inquiry from or give any
         necessary instructions to any Mortgage Insurer, provider of Hazard
         Insurance or other insurer or guarantor, taxing authority, tax
         servicer, Association or the Obligor.

                  (g) The Servicer shall maintain such computer systems
         (hardware and software), experienced staff and facilities as is
         necessary to service the Assets hereunder.

                  (h) The Servicer shall hold and be responsible for responding
         promptly and accurately to all reasonable requests from the related
         Owner, the Obligor or other Persons for information relating to an
         Asset or to the Obligor that the Servicer is required or permitted to
         disclose to such Person, upon compliance by such Person of any
         conditions to the release of such information.

                  (i) Following a payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the
         Servicer shall prepare and cause to be recorded the related instrument
         of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance.

         SECTION 2.4. COLLECTION AND RESOLUTION ACTIVITIES. The Servicer shall
be responsible until the date an Asset ceases to be subject to this Agreement,
for using measures consistent with the Contract Requirements, the Requirements,
and the Accepted Servicing Practices to attempt to collect delinquent payments
on such Asset.

         SECTION 2.5. SERVICING COMPENSATION.

         The Servicer shall be entitled each month to the Servicing Fee. The
Servicing Fee shall be prorated for any period of less than a full calendar
month (not including Assets that pay off or are liquidated during any calendar
month). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain all Ancillary
Income. The Servicer shall not be obligated to deposit any Ancillary Income into
the Collection Account. In the event that the Servicer deposits into the
Collection Account any Ancillary Income, the Servicer may withdraw such amount
at any time from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

         SECTION 2.6. ADDITIONAL SERVICING PROVISIONS RELATING TO LAND SALE
CONTRACTS.

         If an Obligor elects to convert a Land Sale Contract to a mortgage or
deed of trust and mortgage note, the Servicer shall, (a) if the terms of the
Land Sale Contract provide for such conversion or if local law requires such
conversion or (b) if the conditions set forth in the succeeding paragraph are
met, prepare a special warranty deed, mortgage note and mortgage or deed of
trust, in each case containing the same basic terms as the Land Sale Contract to
be converted and in recordable form in the appropriate jurisdiction and
complying with any terms specified in the Land Sale Contract, along with a
mortgage note. If an Obligor under a Land Sale Contract that does not
specifically provide for conversion requests that such Land Sale Contract be
converted to a mortgage or deed of trust, the Servicer shall convert such Land
Sale Contract if the following conditions are met:

                           (i)      the Servicer or its agent shall have checked
                                    the applicable title records and shall have
                                    determined that, after conversion of the
                                    Land Sale Contract and recordation of the
                                    resulting mortgage or deed of trust, such
                                    mortgage or deed of trust will evidence a
                                    first priority perfected security interest
                                    on the Mortgaged Property; and

                           (ii)     the Servicer shall have determined, in its
                                    sole discretion and pursuant to any means it
                                    deems appropriate, that it will be able to
                                    collect all expenses and any processing fees
                                    relating to the conversion of the Land Sale
                                    Contract from the Obligor.

         Prior to the execution of the mortgage note, mortgage or deed of trust,
Owner shall confirm that the Obligor, the amount of the debt secured by the
mortgage or deed of trust, the interest rate on the mortgage note, the schedule
of payments and the maturity date of the mortgage note are identical to the
corresponding terms of the related Land Sale Contract at the time of conversion.

                                   ARTICLE III
                           DEFAULT MANAGEMENT SERVICES


         SECTION 3.1. DEFAULT MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES. Without limiting the
generality of Section 2.3, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by
each Owner to take the following actions, without limitation: (i) prepare,
execute and deliver, on behalf of an Owner at its expense, any and all financing
statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary
to maintain the lien on each Property and related collateral; and, at the
Servicer's expense, modifications, waivers (including, without limitation,
waivers of any late payment charge in connection with any delinquent payment on
an Asset), consents, amendments, discounted payoff agreements, forbearance
agreements, cash management agreements or consents to or with respect to any
documents contained in the related Servicing File; and any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other instruments comparable to any of the types of instruments described in
this subsection (i), and (ii) institute and prosecute judicial and non-judicial
foreclosures, suits on promissory notes, indemnities, guaranties or other
Custodial Documents (including, without limitation, suits for collection of
monthly rental income under assignments of rents and suits for enforcement of
collateral contract obligations), actions for equitable and/or extraordinary
relief (including, without limitation, actions for temporary restraining orders,
injunctions, and appointment of receivers), suits for waste, fraud,
misapplication of rents and any and all other tort, contractual and/or other
claims of whatever nature, and to appear in and file on behalf of an Owner such
pleadings or documents as may be necessary or advisable in any bankruptcy
action, state or federal suit or any other action. The Servicer shall notify the
related Owner regarding any Asset that is proceeding through
foreclosure/forfeiture without modification, and the Owner shall have the option
to attempt an Asset modification with the related Obligor to the extent
permitted by law. All such fees generated in respect of a modification
undertaken by the related Owner shall be remitted by the Servicer to such Owner
unless the Servicer has provided services in connection therewith, in which case
the related Owner and the Servicer shall cooperate in determining the
appropriate allocation of such fees. The Servicer and the Owners agree to
cooperate in good faith to effect any Asset modifications desired to be entered
into pursuant to this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.2. FORECLOSURE. If the Servicer reasonably
determines that foreclosure or forfeiture is appropriate with respect to an
Asset (including if it determines that foreclosure/forfeiture is appropriate in
conjunction with or as an alternative to collection efforts and default
management services hereunder), the Servicer shall retain an attorney and
supervise the conduct of the foreclosure/forfeiture proceeding, provided,
however, that the Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify and consult with
the related Owner in the event that the related Obligor has asserted legal
defenses based on the enforceability of the related Loan documents and, at such
Owner's option, the Owner may direct such foreclosure action in those cases
where such defenses are raised. If the Property is acquired in the
foreclosure/forfeiture proceeding, the Servicer may acquire the Property in the
name of the related Owner or its designee, and the Servicer shall commence
providing property management and disposition services as provided in Section
4.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the
Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Property is an Environmental
Problem Property as described in Section 4.2 hereof, the Servicer shall notify
the related Owner in writing within


Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 19

three (3) Business Days of the Servicer's discovery of the existence of the
Environmental Problem Property, describe such problem, make a recommendation to
such Owner regarding handling the Property and carry out the recommendation
unless otherwise directed by such Owner in writing within five (5) Business Days
after such Owner's receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice in accordance with
the terms and provisions of Section 11.3 below. In no event will the Servicer be
required to acquire record title to an Environmental Problem Property. If the
Servicer elects to proceed with a foreclosure/forfeiture in accordance with the
laws of the state where the Property is located, the Servicer shall not be
required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Obligor or any
other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency
judgment after such foreclosure or if the Servicer determines in its reasonable
judgment that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not
be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the
deficiency judgment. The Servicer and Owners agree to cooperate in good faith to
effectuate the intent of this Section.

                  SECTION 3.3. DEED IN LIEU. If the Servicer pursues a deed in
lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer by the
terms and provisions of Section 3.1 above, the Servicer will retain counsel to
prepare appropriate documentation, execute and deliver such documentation on
behalf of the related Owner and may enter into an agreement with Obligor
regarding payment of any deficiency. The actions described herein shall be taken
by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or otherwise
with the consent of the related Owner. Title to such Property may be taken in
the name of the related Owner or its designee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in connection with a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Property is an
Environmental Problem Property as described in Section 4.2 hereof, the Servicer
shall notify the related Owner in writing within three (3) Business Days of the
Servicer's discovery thereof of the existence of the Environmental Problem
Property, describe such problem, make a recommendation to such Owner regarding
handling the Property and carry out the recommendation unless otherwise directed
by such Owner in writing within five (5) Business Days after such Owner's
receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice in accordance with the terms and
provisions of Section 11.3 below. In no event will the Servicer be required to
acquire record title to an Environmental Problem Property. The Servicer will
provide the services described in Section 4.1 with respect to each Property for
which a deed in lieu of foreclosure is received by the Servicer.

                  SECTION 3.4. BANKRUPTCY OF OBLIGOR. If the Servicer has actual
knowledge that an Obligor is the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other similar law, has made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or has had a receiver or custodian appointed for its property, the
Servicer shall retain an attorney to pursue claims to payment on the Asset and,
if applicable, foreclosure or begin a forfeiture action on the Property,
provided, however, that the Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify and
consult with the related Owner in the event that the related Obligor has
asserted legal defenses based on the enforceability of the related Loan
documents and, at such Owner's option, the Owner may direct such bankruptcy
proceeding and related actions in those cases where such defenses are raised. If
the Property is acquired in an insolvency proceeding, it shall be acquired in
the name of the related Owner or its designee. Within three (3) Business Days of
the Servicer's obtaining actual knowledge thereof, the Servicer shall notify
such Owner regarding any Asset the Obligor in respect of which is the subject of
a

proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar law, has made an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or has had a receiver or custodian
appointed for its property. The Servicer and Owners agree to cooperate in good
faith to effectuate the intent of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                  PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION SERVICES


         SECTION 4.1. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION RESPONSIBILITIES. With
respect to each Property that is acquired for the benefit of the related Owner,
the Servicer shall, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, provide
property management and disposition services with respect to such Property,
including analysis of sale and leasing potential of such Property, leasing and
collection of rents, property management (including maintenance and repairs to
such Property to render it leasable or salable), Escrow Account administration
for payment of Escrow Payments and property sales, provided, however, that in
the event the Property Improvement Expenses to be incurred with respect to any
individual Property will equal or exceed $10,000, the Servicer shall notify the
related Owner and such Owner will review and approve or reject all or part of
such expenditure within five (5) Business Days of such notice by the Servicer.
An Owner may, in its discretion, participate in the marketing and sales process
in respect of any Property acquired on such Owner's behalf, and such Owner may
make the determination as to sales price and marketing method and the selection
of third-party vendors; provided, that the Servicer shall have no responsibility
or liability with respect to such determination and any third-party vendor
selected by an Owner in respect of a Property acquired on such Owner's behalf
may be terminated by the Servicer for cause. Furthermore, an Owner may offer
financing to a purchaser of REO Property. Any fees charged by an Owner in
connection with the marketing of any REO Property will be remitted to such Owner
by the Servicer from the related sales proceeds to the extent received by the
Servicer. The Servicer and Owners agree to cooperate in good faith to effectuate
the intent of this Section.

         SECTION 4.2. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS. If the Servicer hereafter becomes
aware that a Property is an Environmental Problem Property, the Servicer will
notify the related Owner in writing within three (3) Business Days of the
existence of the Environmental Problem Property. Additionally, the Servicer
shall set forth in such notice a description of such problem, a recommendation
to the related Owner relating to the proposed action regarding the Environmental
Problem Property and the Servicer shall carry out the recommendation set forth
in such notice unless otherwise directed by such Owner in writing within five
(5) Business Days after such Owner's receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice
in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11.3 below. If the
Servicer has reason to believe that a Property is an Environmental Problem
Property (e.g., the Servicer obtains a broker's price opinion which reveals the
potential for such problem), the Servicer will not accept a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure upon any such Property without first obtaining a preliminary
environmental investigation for the Property satisfactory to the related Owner.

                              STANDARDS FOR CONDUCT


         SECTION 5.1. STANDARDS OF CARE AND DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

                  (a) The obligation of the Servicer to perform its duties under
         this Agreement, including any duty to obtain or verify information,
         will be satisfied so long as the Servicer acts in a manner consistent
         with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall not be
         responsible for the form, substance, validity, perfection, priority,
         effectiveness or enforceability of any documents in the Servicing File
         on the applicable Transfer Date or on the date that it obtains such
         documents from the Current Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the
         Owner in writing within three (3) Business Days of the Servicer's
         discovery thereof of a claim against the substance, validity,
         perfection, priority, effectiveness or enforceability of any documents
         in the Servicing File or Custodial File.

                  (b) In the performance of its duties and obligations under
         this Agreement, the Servicer may act directly or through agents,
         subservicers, independent counsel, accountants and other independent
         professional Persons, or it may delegate the performance of functions
         and consult with agents, independent counsel and other independent
         Persons; provided, however, that no such delegation shall relieve the
         Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and any subservicing
         arrangement shall require the prior consent of the related Owner.
         Additionally, in the event that the Servicer believes that it is unable
         to comply with the requirements of Section 5.1(a) with respect to any
         particular Asset as a result of the Servicer's relationship with an
         Obligor or some other reason which would cause the Servicer to be in
         violation of Accepted Servicing Practices, it may enter into a
         subservicing agreement whereby a subservicer shall perform the
         Servicer's duties with respect to such Asset. In such event, so long as
         such subservicer performs such duties on behalf of the Servicer, in
         accordance with the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, then
         the Servicer shall be deemed to be in compliance therewith.

                  (c) the Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon any notice,
         document, correspondence, request, directives or other communication
         received by it from an Owner that the Servicer believes to be genuine
         and to have been signed or presented by an authorized officer or
         representative of an Owner, and shall not be obligated to inquire as to
         the authority or power of any Person so executing or presenting any
         notice, document, correspondence, request, directive or other
         communication or as to the truthfulness of any statements therein.

         SECTION 5.2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS. In carrying out its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Servicer may contract with its
affiliates, provided that all Persons with whom the Servicer may contract, enter
into arrangements with or otherwise deal with, shall be engaged on a
commercially reasonable arm's-length basis and at competitive rates of
compensation. Nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Servicer or
its affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from acting in a similar
capacity for any other Person even though such Person may engage in business
activities similar to those of an Owner or its affiliates.

         SECTION 5.3. ACCESS TO RECORDS.

                  (a) To the extent required by this Agreement, the Servicer
         will establish and maintain a system of (i) records of operational
         information relating to the collection of Assets, the conduct of
         default management services and the administration, management,
         servicing, repair, maintenance, rental, sale or other disposition of
         Assets and Properties and (ii) books and accounts, which shall be
         maintained in accordance with customary business practices, of
         financial information relating to the Assets and the Properties.
         Information may be maintained on a computer or electronic system. The
         Servicer shall maintain a disaster recovery system with respect to such
         information.

                  (b) If an Owner provides reasonable prior written notice, such
         Owner and its respective accountants, regulators, attorneys, agents or
         designees may, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section
         8.3(d), examine the Servicer's books and records relating to the Assets
         during normal business hours of the Servicer. Any expenses incurred by
         any parties conducting such examination shall not be the responsibility
         of the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall provide to an Owner
         any other information, related to the Assets reasonably requested by
         such Owner in a format reasonably requested by such Owner, provided,
         however, that such information and format are readily accessible and
         available to the Servicer at no added cost to the Servicer. The
         Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with any requested audits of
         the servicing of the Assets by the Owners or their respective insurance
         or other regulators, provided, however, that the Servicer shall be
         compensated for any extraordinary time or document production demands
         placed on the Servicer in connection with such audits. The Servicer
         shall make available to Metropolitan, on behalf of all the Owners,
         on-line access to the Servicer's servicing system with respect to the
         Assets and, when available, on-line images of the Servicing Documents
         contained in the Servicing Files, in each case as further provided in
         Section 7.04 of the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement.

                  (c) Upon the written request by an Owner, the Servicer shall
         deliver to such Owner for a period of not more than ten (10) Business
         Days the Servicing File for any Asset.

         SECTION 5.4. ANNUAL AUDIT. On or before April 30 of each year,
beginning with April 30, 2002, the Servicer shall furnish a statement to
Metropolitan, on behalf of the Owners, prepared by a firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer), which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to the


Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 23

effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records for the
preceding calendar year (or during the period from the date of commencement of
such servicer's duties hereunder until the end of such preceding calendar year
in the case of the first such certificate) and that, on the basis of such
examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the
Servicer's overall servicing operations have been conducted in compliance with
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers except for such
exceptions that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report, in which case such
exceptions shall be set forth in such statement.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                        REMITTANCES AND REPORTS TO OWNER


         SECTION 6.1. SERVICING ADVANCES. The Servicer shall make Servicing
Advances with respect to the Assets in accordance with this Agreement and
Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be
obligated to make any such Servicing Advance if the Servicer determines in its
reasonable judgment that such advance will be a Non-Recoverable Advance. Any
advances made towards Escrow Payments, Property Protection Expenses and/or
Property Improvement Expenses shall be deemed to be Servicing Advances. The
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of all Servicing Advances made
pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2. To the extent that the
Servicer has previously withdrawn funds from the Collection Account to pay for
third party costs relating to any Servicing Advances and the Servicer thereafter
recovers cash from the Obligor or any other Persons for such amounts, the
Servicer shall deposit such recovered cash into the Collection Account. The
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to seek reimbursement from Obligors for
Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Assets to the extent
permitted under the related Contract Requirements and the Requirements.

         SECTION 6.2. REMITTANCES AND MONTHLY REPORT. On each Distribution Date,
the Servicer shall submit to Metropolitan, on behalf of each Owner, a Monthly
Report for each Owner in electronic format substantially in the form hereafter
mutually agreed upon by the Owners and the Servicer), which report will include
the following, without limitation: (i) all collections of interest and principal
(from whatever source) and Prepayment Penalties on the Assets related to such
Owner and all collections in respect of the related REO Properties (including
sale proceeds and rental payments), if any, during the related Collection
Period, (ii) a detailed description of Servicing Fees and Ancillary Fees with
respect to the related Assets, (iii) a detailed description of all Servicing
Advances with respect to the related Assets incurred during the related
Collection Period, (iv) a detailed description of amounts received from Obligors
or other Persons in payment of Servicing Advances previously made with respect
to the related Assets, (v) all distributions from the Collection Account with
respect to the related Assets since the preceding Distribution Date with respect
to each Owner, (vi) those Assets with respect to such Owner that are in
foreclosure/forfeiture or subject to bankruptcy proceedings and the relevant
status date relating to each, (vii) the delinquency status of the Assets related
to such Owner, and (viii) those Assets for which an assumption has been
processed during the related Collection Period. On each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw the Monthly

<PAGE>

Collection Amount with respect to each Owner from the Collection Account and
distribute the amount withdrawn in the following priority:

                  (a) to pay itself the applicable Servicing Fee with respect to
         the Assets relating to such Owner earned during the related Collection
         Period and to pay itself all Ancillary Income with respect to such
         Assets earned during the related Collection Period (to the extent
         deposited into the Collection Account);

                  (b) to reimburse itself for Servicing Fees and Ancillary
         Income with respect to the Assets relating to such Owner earned during
         Collection Periods prior to the related Collection Period, to the
         extent not previously paid or reimbursed;

                  (c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances
         made with respect to the Assets relating to such Owner during the
         related Collection Period or prior Collection Periods to the extent
         received from the related Obligor or other Persons or from Liquidation
         Proceeds or proceeds from Mortgage Insurance for the related Asset for
         which such Servicing Advance was made;

                  (d) to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances that are
         Non-Recoverable Advances to the extent amounts specified in clause (c)
         are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for such Servicing Advances;

                  (e) to reimburse the Servicer for any expenses incurred by and
         reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, but not
         including expenses incurred pursuant to Section 8.3; and

                  (f) to each Owner, the amount remaining from the Monthly
         Collection Amount relating to such Owner after applying amounts
         pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) above.

         Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer shall remit the proceeds from any loan liquidations or prepayments in
full (net of Servicing Fees and other amounts due the Servicer with respect to
the related Asset) to Metropolitan, on behalf of the related Owner, within five
(5) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer.

         Amounts payable to the Owners pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be
paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds (by 3:00 p.m., eastern time
on the day of transfer) to a single account designated by Metropolitan, on
behalf of the Owners.

         Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
Servicing Fees and Ancillary Income received by the Servicer need not be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the
Servicer. In addition, prior to remitting amounts to the Collection Account the
Servicer may reimburse itself for Servicing Advances made with respect to a
particular Asset to the extent received from the related Obligor or other
Persons or from Liquidation Proceeds or proceeds from Mortgage Insurance for the
related Asset. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein,

it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any
provision to the contrary notwithstanding.

         SECTION 6.3. REMITTANCE UPON TERMINATION.

         Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Servicer shall withdraw all
funds from the Collection Account and shall distribute such funds in the
following priority:

                  (a) from amounts in the Collection Account received with
         respect to the Assets relating to each Owner, to reimburse itself for
         all unpaid Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Ancillary Income with
         respect to such Assets; and

                  (b) to each Owner the remaining amount in the Collection
         Account received with respect to the Assets relating to such Owner
         after applying amounts pursuant to clause (a) above.

Amounts payable to the Owners shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately
available funds (by 3:00 p.m., eastern time on the day of transfer) to a single
account designated by Metropolitan, on behalf of the Owners.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


         SECTION 7.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SERVICER. The
Servicer, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Owners as
of the Closing Date and the Transfer Date:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing; Licensing. The Servicer is
         a federal savings association duly organized, validly existing and in
         good standing under the laws of the United States of America and has
         the power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business
         in which it is currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do
         business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing and is duly
         licensed in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business
         transacted by it or properties owned, or leased or serviced by it
         requires such qualification or licensing (except where there is an
         appropriate statutory exemption applicable to the Servicer or the
         failure so to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
         business, properties, assets or financial condition of the Servicer or
         any Owner).

                  (b) Authorization: Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the
         power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this
         Agreement, including all instruments of transfer to be delivered
         pursuant to this Agreement, and perform all of the transactions
         contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement, and has taken
         all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement. When executed and delivered, this
         Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of
         the Servicer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
         except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
         similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
         and by the availability of equitable remedies.

<PAGE>

                  (c) No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to
         obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval
         or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any
         governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
         execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made or as to which the
         failure to obtain or make will not materially adversely affect the
         ability of the Servicer to perform its obligation hereunder.

                  (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of
         this Agreement by the Servicer will not violate any provision of any
         existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court
         applicable to the Servicer, except for violations that will not
         adversely affect the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations
         hereunder, or the charter or by-laws of the Servicer, or constitute a
         material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement
         to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer may be bound.

                  (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of
         or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending
         or to the knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or
         any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, which if
         adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (f) FNMA or FHLMC Approved. The Servicer is an approved
         seller/servicer for FNMA or FHLMC in good standing. No event has
         occurred that would make the Servicer unable to comply with FNMA or
         FHLMC eligibility requirements, would require notification to FNMA or
         FHLMC, or, with notification to FNMA or FHLMC, would result in a breach
         of the representation made in the preceding sentence.

         SECTION 7.2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE OWNERS. Each Owner,
as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Servicer as of
the Closing Date and the Transfer Date, provided, however, that no Owner makes
any such representation or warranty with respect to any other Owner or any other
Owner's related Assets:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing; Licensing. Each Owner is a
         corporation or insurance corporation, as the case may be, duly
         organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
         state of its organization and has the power and authority to own its
         assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.
         Each Owner is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
         and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of
         the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it
         requires such qualification (except where there is an appropriate
         statutory exemption applicable to an Owner or the failure so to qualify
         would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
         assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of such Owner or the
         Servicer).

                  (b) Authorization: Binding Obligations. Each Owner has the
         power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this
         Agreement (including all


Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 27
<PAGE>

         instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) and
         perform all of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it
         under this Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize
         the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. When
         executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid
         and binding obligation of each Owner enforceable in accordance with its
         terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
         or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
         generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

                  (c) No Consent Required. No Owner is required to obtain the
         consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
         authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any
         governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
         execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made.

                  (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of
         this Agreement by each Owner will not violate any provision of any
         existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court
         applicable to such Owner, or constitute a material breach of any
         mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which such Owner is
         a party or by which such Owner may be bound.

                  (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of
         or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending
         or to the knowledge of any Owner threatened, against such Owner or any
         of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, which if adversely
         determined would have a material adverse effect on the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (f) Compliance with Laws. Each Asset has been originated and
         serviced in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
         laws and regulations and consistent with the requirements of the
         Assets.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION


         SECTION 8.1. LIABILITIES TO OBLIGORS. No liability to any Obligor under
any of the Assets arising out of any act or omission to act of any servicer,
subservicer, owner, holder or originator of the Assets prior to the applicable
Transfer Date is assumed by the Servicer under or as a result of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent permitted
and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Servicer expressly disclaims
such assumption.

         SECTION 8.2. SERVICER'S INDEMNITY OF THE OWNER. (a) The Servicer shall
defend and indemnify each Owner against any and all claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and
expenses, and any and all related costs and/or expenses of litigation,
administrative and/or regulatory agency proceedings, and any other costs, fees
and expenses, suffered or incurred (excluding, however, punitive damages,
exemplary

damages and loss of profit damages) by such Owner (each, a "Liability") arising
out of or resulting from third party claims or actions that were caused directly
by or directly resulted from a breach of any of the Servicer's representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or the failure of the Servicer to
perform its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer
shall not be liable to any Owner, however, with respect to action taken, or for
refraining from taking any action, with respect to any Asset at or in conformity
with the direction of an Owner, or for any Liability caused by or resulting from
a delay occasioned by an Owner's objection to a proposal by the Servicer
hereunder, or for any Liability caused by or resulting from an Owner's breach of
a representation or warranty herein or for any Liability incurred by reason of
an Owner's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in acting or refraining
from acting or any failure of performance or as a result of a breach of any
representations, warranties or covenants made by an Owner hereunder. In any
event, the Servicer shall not have any liability or obligations for any actions
of any prior servicer, subservicer, originator, holder or owner, or any
successor servicer (other than the Servicer), of the Assets.

         (b) It is understood and agreed that during the term of this Agreement
the Servicer and its agents may have access to certain of each Owner's
confidential and proprietary information including, without limitation, each
Owner's acquisition methods and underwriting standards and procedures, and other
proprietary systems and procedures (the "Confidential Information"). The term
"Confidential Information" does not include information which becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Servicer or
its representatives. The Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge
to any party other than an officer or employee or its agents of the Servicer who
has a need to know, without any Owner's prior written consent, any Confidential
Information. In the event that the Servicer is requested or required (by oral
questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
Information, it is agreed that the Servicer will provide an Owner with prompt
notice of such request(s) so that such Owner may seek an appropriate protective
order and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this subsection, in such
Owner's sole and absolute discretion. If, failing the entry of a protective
order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Servicer is, in the opinion of
its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, the Servicer may
disclose that portion of the Confidential Information, which counsel advises
that the Servicer is compelled to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts
to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion
of the Confidential Information which is being disclosed. The Servicer
acknowledges that an Owner will incur irreparable damage if the Servicer should
breach the terms and provisions of this subsection. Accordingly, if the Servicer
or the Servicer's directors, officers, employees, invitees, agents or
representatives breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this
subsection, such Owner shall be entitled, without prejudice, to all the rights
and remedies available to it, including a temporary restraining order and an
injunction restraining any breach of the provisions of this subsection (without
any bond or other security being required therefor).

         SECTION 8.3. OWNERS' INDEMNITY OF THE SERVICER; LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
OF THE SERVICER.

                  (a) Each Owner shall defend and indemnify the Servicer against
         any Liability arising from (i) third party claims or actions that were
         caused by or resulted from (A) any actions or omissions in respect of
         any Asset of any Owner or any prior servicer, subservicer, owner or
         originator of an Asset and/or (B) taking any action, or refraining from
         taking any action, with respect to any Asset at or in conformity with
         this Agreement or the direction of an Owner, and/or (ii) any
         Environmental Liability (as defined in Section 8.3(c) below), (iii) any
         breach by an Owner or an Owner's directors, officers, employees,
         agents, invitees or representatives of an Owner's obligations under
         Section 8.3(d) below, and (iv) any Liability relating to the failure or
         refusal of an Owner or any trustee or custodian in possession of
         original Custodial Documents to timely provide to the Servicer the
         originals of any Custodial Documents in order to allow the Servicer
         sufficient time to timely process satisfactions, payoffs and releases.

                  (b) Neither the Servicer nor any directors, officers,
         employees or agents of the Servicer shall be liable to an Owner for any
         action taken or for refraining from taking any action in good faith
         pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided,
         however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any
         liability directly and solely caused by the Servicer that would
         otherwise be imposed by reason of the Servicer's negligence, willful
         misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of or failure to perform
         duties hereunder. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document
         of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted to the Servicer
         respecting any matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for
         taking any action or refraining from taking any action in good faith
         reliance thereon, pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (c) The term "Environmental Liability" shall mean any and all
         claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines,
         forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses, and any and all
         related costs and/or expenses of litigation, administrative and/or
         regulatory agency proceedings, and any other costs, fees and expenses,
         suffered or incurred by the Servicer arising out of or resulting from
         the introduction of such materials on any Property before and/or after
         the date hereof, including, without limitation, (a) any liability under
         or on account of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
         and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., as the same may be
         amended from time to time, and/or any other federal or state
         environmental laws, and specifically including, without limitation, any
         liability relating to asbestos and asbestos containing materials,
         polychlorinated biphenyls, radon gas, petroleum and petroleum products,
         urea formaldehyde and any substances classified as being "in
         inventory", "usable work in process" or similar classification which
         would, if classified as unusable, be included in the foregoing
         definition, including the assertion of any lien thereunder, (b) claims
         brought by third parties for loss or damage incurred or sustained
         subsequent to the date hereof, and (c) liability with respect to any
         other matter affecting the Property within the jurisdiction of the
         federal Environmental Protection Agency or state environmental
         regulatory agencies pursuant to any state laws, and in the regulations
         adopted pursuant to any of said laws; provided, however, that the
         indemnity for


Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 30
<PAGE>

         Environmental Liability shall not be effective with respect to any
         liability directly and solely caused by the Servicer that would
         otherwise be imposed by reason of the Servicer's gross negligence,
         willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of or failure to
         perform duties hereunder.

                  (d) It is understood and agreed that during the term of this
         Agreement the Owners and their agents may have access to certain of the
         Servicer's confidential and proprietary information including, without
         limitation, the Servicer's computer systems and models, secure web
         site, investor reporting systems, default management systems and
         procedures, and other proprietary systems and procedures (the
         "Confidential Information"). The term "Confidential Information" does
         not include information which becomes generally available to the public
         other than as a result of disclosure by an Owner or its
         representatives, but shall be deemed not to include the Servicing Fee
         contained herein (to the extent required to be reflected in an Owner's
         financial statements) or any document that any Owner must file with
         securities regulators, but shall include any and all passwords or
         identification codes, access codes, modem dial-up numbers and similar
         items. The Owners shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any
         party other than an officer, employee or agent of the Owners who has a
         need to know, without the Servicer's prior written consent, any
         Confidential Information. In the event that any Owner is requested or
         required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information
         or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process)
         to disclose any Confidential Information, it is agreed that such Owner
         will provide the Servicer with prompt notice of such request(s) so that
         the Servicer may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive
         compliance with the provisions of this subsection, in the Servicer's
         sole and absolute discretion. If, failing the entry of a protective
         order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Owner is, in the
         opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information,
         the Owner may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information,
         which counsel advises that the Owner is compelled to disclose and will
         exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential
         treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential
         Information which is being disclosed. Each Owner acknowledges that the
         Servicer will incur irreparable damage if any Owner should breach the
         terms and provisions of this subsection. Accordingly, if an Owner or an
         Owner's directors, officers, employees, invitees, agents or
         representatives breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions
         of this subsection, the Servicer shall be entitled, without prejudice,
         to all the rights and remedies available to it, including a temporary
         restraining order and an injunction restraining any breach of the
         provisions of this subsection (without any bond or other security being
         required therefor).

         SECTION 8.4. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. If, for so long as this
Agreement is in effect, a party entitled to indemnification hereunder
("Indemnified Party") has actual notice or knowledge of any claim or loss for
which indemnification by an indemnifying party hereunder ("Indemnifying Party")
is asserted, the Indemnified Party shall give to the Indemnifying Party written
notice within such time as is reasonable under the circumstances, describing
such claim or loss in reasonable detail. In the event that a demand or claim for
indemnification is made hereunder with respect to losses the amount or extent of
which is not yet known or certain, the



Servicing Agreement                                                      Page 31
<PAGE>

notice of demand for indemnification shall so state, and, where practicable,
shall include an estimate of the amount of the losses.

                  (a) In the case of actual notice of indemnification hereunder
         involving any litigation, arbitration, legal or regulatory proceeding,
         the Indemnifying Party shall have responsibility to, and shall employ
         counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and shall
         assume all expense with respect to, the defense or settlement of such
         claim; provided however, that:

                           (i)      the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
                                    participate in the defense of such claim and
                                    to employ counsel at its own expense to
                                    assist in the handling of such claim; and

                           (ii)     the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the
                                    prior written approval of the Indemnified
                                    Party before entering into any settlement of
                                    such claim or ceasing to defend against such
                                    claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such
                                    settlement or cessation, (1) injunctive or
                                    other relief (excepting the payment of money
                                    damages) would be imposed against any
                                    Indemnified Party which could materially
                                    interfere with the business, operations,
                                    assets, conditions (financial or otherwise)
                                    or prospects of the Indemnified Party, or
                                    (2) the settlement of cessation shall result
                                    in an indemnification obligation of the
                                    Indemnifying Party that, in the reasonable
                                    judgment of the Indemnified Party, cannot be
                                    fulfilled by the Indemnifying Party in
                                    accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
                                    If the Indemnifying Party does not provide
                                    to the Indemnified Party, within fifteen
                                    (15) days after receipt of a notice of
                                    indemnification, a written acknowledgment
                                    that the Indemnifying Party shall assume
                                    responsibility for the defense or settlement
                                    of such claim as provided in this Section
                                    8.4, the Indemnified Party shall have the
                                    right to defend and settle the claim in such
                                    manner as it may deem appropriate at the
                                    cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party,
                                    and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly
                                    reimburse the Indemnified Party therefor in
                                    accordance with this Agreement.

         SECTION 8.5. OPERATION OF INDEMNITIES. If any Person has made any
indemnity payments to any other Person pursuant to this Article VIII and such
other Person thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such other
Person will repay such amounts collected, together with any interest collected
thereon. The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive any termination of
this Agreement, the liquidation of any Asset, or the transfer or assignment by
an Owner to another Person of any Asset or any interest in any Asset.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                     DEFAULT


         SECTION 9.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following shall constitute
"Servicer Events of Default" hereunder by the Servicer:

                  (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any deposit or
         payment, or to remit any payment (including a Servicing Advance
         required to be made pursuant to this Agreement), required to be made
         under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a
         period of three (3) Business Days after the date upon which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Servicer by an Owner; or

                  (b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
         perform in any material respect any other of the representations,
         warranties, covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set
         forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of
         sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
         requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
         Servicer by an Owner; or

                  (c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
         authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
         under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
         similar law or appointing 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
         Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
         undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

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

                  (e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
         its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make
         an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
         payment of its obligations or take any action in furtherance of the
         foregoing; or

                  (f) the Servicer assigns or attempts to assign its rights to

         responsibilities hereunder without the consent of the Owners except as
         otherwise expressly permitted by the other terms and provisions of this
         Agreement.

         SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. After the effective date of the
termination of servicing duties pursuant to Section 10.1, the Servicer shall
have no further obligations hereunder other than under Article VIII or Article
X.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                      TERM


         SECTION 10.1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

                  (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of
         the final payment of Liquidation Proceeds on the last Asset subject to
         this Agreement.

                  (b) If the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations
         which would result, after expiration of the applicable notice and cure
         or grace period (if applicable), in a Servicer Event of Default
         hereunder, the Owners may terminate this Agreement by written notice to
         the Servicer, specifying the effective date of such termination and
         instructions with respect to the Servicing Files and Custodial Files.
         The Servicer shall do all things necessary or appropriate to effect the
         purposes of such termination and the transfer of servicing, including
         payment of all of its costs and expenses related to the transfer of
         servicing. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written
         notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement
         with respect to the Assets shall terminate effective as of the date
         specified in such written notice. If the Servicer fails to perform any
         of its obligations which would result, after expiration of the
         applicable notice and cure or grace period (if applicable), in a
         Servicer Event of Default hereunder, the non-breaching party may also
         pursue whatever rights it may have at law or in equity to damages,
         including injunctive relief and specific performance.

                  (c) This Agreement also may be terminated with respect to one
         or more Assets in connection with the sale of the related Servicing
         Rights pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to Sell Servicing Rights.
         Otherwise, this Agreement may not be terminated without cause by the
         Owners.

         SECTION 10.2. TRANSFERS OF SERVICING. Except as provided in this
Agreement, the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement or the Agreement to Sell
Servicing Rights, the Servicer shall not pledge or assign this Agreement or its
rights to the Servicing Fee or transfer the servicing hereunder or delegate its
rights or duties hereunder without the prior written approval of each Owner.

         SECTION 10.3. SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. The Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties imposed on the Servicer by this Agreement,
except (i) by mutual consent of the Servicer and each Owner, (ii) upon a
material breach of an Owner's obligations hereunder or under the Servicing
Rights Purchase Agreement, (iii) upon the determination that the Servicer's
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such
incapacity

cannot be cured by the Servicer or (iv) as a result of the transfer of Servicing
Rights pursuant to the Agreement to Sell Servicing Rights. Any determination
under clause (iii) above shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such
effect delivered to each Owner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Owners. No resignation shall become effective until the Owners or their
designee shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations
hereunder.

         SECTION 10.4. SUCCESSOR SERVICER. If any successor servicer succeeds to
the obligations of the Servicer after a termination pursuant to Sections 10.1 or
10.3 above, the successor servicer, to the extent necessary to permit the
successor servicer to carry out the provisions of the terms hereof and without
act or deed on the part of the successor servicer, shall succeed to all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under any servicing agreement entered
into pursuant to Section 5.1(b). In such event, the successor servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to such servicing agreement to the same extent
as if such servicing agreement had been assigned to the successor servicer,
except that the Servicer, as applicable, shall not have any liability or
obligation under such servicing agreement in respect of events that occur after
such succession unless so provided in such servicing agreement or unless such
events arise out of actions or events that occurred prior to such succession. In
the event that the successor servicer assumes the servicing obligations of the
Servicer, upon request of the successor servicer, the Servicer, shall at its own
expense (if the transfer of servicing is occasioned by a Servicer Event of
Default or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) of Section
10.3) or at the Owners' expense (if the transfer is occasioned by the
resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3)
deliver to the successor servicer (as the case may be) all documents and records
relating to this Agreement and the Assets then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use
its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any servicing
agreement to the successor servicer.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS


         SECTION 11.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.

governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York.

         SECTION 11.4. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements (or
contemporaneous oral agreements) of the parties with respect thereto. This
Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
Each of the Servicer or the Owners may, by written notice to the other, extend
the time for or waive the performance of any of the obligations of such other
hereunder. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of this Agreement shall
not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No
delay, omission or act by a party shall be deemed a waiver of such party's
rights, powers or remedies. No course of dealing between the parties hereto
shall operate as a waiver of any provision hereof.

         SECTION 11.5. NO JOINT VENTURE; LIMITED AGENCY. The services provided
by the Servicer are in each case those of an independent contractor providing a
service. Nothing contained in this Agreement: (i) shall constitute the Servicer
and the Owners as members of any partnership, joint venture, association,
syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be
construed to impose any liability as such on the Servicer or the Owners or (iii)
shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement as to the
Servicer, constitute a general or limited agency or be deemed to confer on it
any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability
on behalf of the other.

         SECTION 11.6. SEVERABILITY; INTERPRETATION. If any provision hereof is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be
affected or impaired thereby. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed
against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or
other authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have
structured, dictated or drafted such provision. The parties hereto acknowledge
that no other agreement entered into by the Servicer for the provision of
servicing, default management services and property management and disposition
services shall be used or referred to in construing the provisions of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 11.7. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 11.8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

         SECTION 11.9. LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO
THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER
IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE.
