         This TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of September 1, 2004 (the "Agreement"),
is by and among STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation,
as depositor (the "Depositor"), AURORA LOAN SERVICES INC., as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer"), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking
corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

         The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from Lehman Brothers
Holdings (the "Seller"), and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage
Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion
in the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the
Certificates from the Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust
Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund.
The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement
to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other
property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee herein with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the
benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor and
the Master Servicer are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is
accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

         As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (other
than the rights to Prepayment Penalty Amounts) be treated for federal income tax
purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a
"REMIC" or, in the alternative, REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 (REMIC 2 also being referred
to herein as the "Upper Tier REMIC")). As described in Section 10.01 hereof, the
Trust Fund will also be treated for federal income tax purposes as including two
grantor trusts. The REMIC Regular Interests represent regular interests in the
Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC provisions. The Class R Certificate
represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1
and REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC provisions. The Upper Tier REMIC shall
hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests.
Each REMIC 1 Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in
REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund other than
the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, and the rights to Prepayment Penalty Amounts.

REMIC 1

         The following table specifies the class designation, interest rate, and
initial principal amount for each class of REMIC 3 Interests.

         Loan other than a Cooperative Loan shall be recorded; provided,
         however, that such Assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion
         of Counsel (which must be from Independent counsel) acceptable to the
         Trustee and the Rating Agencies, recording in such states is not
         required to protect the Trustee's interest in the related Non-MERS
         Mortgage Loans. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as
         practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than 3 months
         thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable
         recording office), the Trustee (or its Custodian), at the expense of
         the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer,
         shall cause to be properly recorded by such Servicer in each public
         recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded each
         Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection (b)(v) above with
         respect to a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Cooperative
         Loan, the Trustee (or its Custodian), at the expense of the Depositor
         and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause such
         Servicer to take such actions as are necessary under applicable law in
         order to perfect the interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged
         Property.

                  (ii) With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee (or
         its applicable Custodian), at the expense of the Depositor and with the
         cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause to be taken such
         actions by such Servicer as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
         clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the
         records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of
         beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

         (d) In instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be
delivered to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, under clause (b)(viii) above and is not so delivered, the Depositor
will provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Trustee, or to the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as promptly as practicable after
the execution and delivery hereof, but in any case within 180 days of the
Closing Date.

         (e) For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after
the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of
delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, an Officer's Certificate which
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection
with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the applicable
Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.01 have been so deposited. All original
documents that are not delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

         Section 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of
Documentation for Trust Fund.

         (a) The Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee,
by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt of the Participations and
the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Trustee, or by the applicable
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver to the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer on the Closing Date an Initial
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed
to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).

                                       39
<PAGE>

         (b) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the applicable Custodian
will, on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of Holders of the
Certificates, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents
set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain
the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed
to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the
effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all
of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession
and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, shall make sure that the documents are executed and endorsed, but shall
be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid,
binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any responsibility
for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any
signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

         (c) If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular
on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically
altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a "Material Defect"), the Trustee, or the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly identify the
Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certificate
delivered to the Depositor or the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee). Within
90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Depositor shall be required to cure
such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor shall provide the
Trustee with an Officer's Certificate confirming that such cure has been
effected). If the Depositor does not so cure such Material Defect, it shall, if
a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such
Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized
Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such
Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the
Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon
mutual agreement with the Servicer acting in good faith, absent such Material
Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period
following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05.
The failure of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice
contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or
relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the
repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.

         (d) Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the
applicable Custodian, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer a Final Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit B-3 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as
Exhibit B-3, as applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in
its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an
assumption by the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders of any
unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.

         (f) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable
Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and deliver
the respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02.

         Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

         (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for
the benefit of Certificateholders, and to the Master Servicer, as of the Closing
Date or such other date as is specified, that:

                  (i) the Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws governing its creation and
         existence and has full corporate power and authority to own its
         property, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter
         into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to create
         the trust pursuant hereto;

                  (ii) the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this
         Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
         on the part of the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of
         this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein
         contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict
         with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of
         the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment,
         decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the
         certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;

                  (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor
         of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice
         to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect
         of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency,
         except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the
         date hereof;

                  (iv) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
         the Depositor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
         by the Trustee and the Master Servicer, constitutes a valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance with
         its terms except as such enforceability may be subject to (A)
         applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and (B)
         general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

                  (v) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
         the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened or likely to be asserted
         against or affecting the Depositor, before or by any court,
         administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect
         to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with
         respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will
         be determined adversely to the Depositor and will if determined
         adversely to the Depositor materially and adversely affect it or its
         business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or
         adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
         Agreement; and

                                       41
<PAGE>

                  (vi) immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the
         Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Depositor was the sole owner of
         record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor had good and
         marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell each
         Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only to (1) liens
         of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable
         and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien
         for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and
         restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public
         record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to
         mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related
         Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the
         lender's Title Insurance Policy or attorney's opinion of title and
         abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan,
         and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly
         subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially
         interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by
         the Mortgage, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien,
         pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and had full right and
         authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement
         with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
         to this Agreement.

         (b) The representations and warranties of each Transferor with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement, which have
been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in
the applicable Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer
Agreement is in the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the extent
that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a
breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the applicable Transferor
under the applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of
Lehman Brothers Holdings under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right
or remedy of the Trustee or of any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's
right to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor under any
applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee acknowledges that
Lehman Brothers Holdings shall have no obligation or liability with respect to
any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the
Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also
constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by the applicable
Transferor in the applicable Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether such
Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such
representation or warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor
shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set
forth in Section 2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.

         Section 2.04. Discovery of Breach.

         It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i)
set forth in Section 2.03, (ii) of Lehman Brothers Holdings set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor
hereunder and (iii) of each Transferor, assigned by Lehman Brothers Holdings to
the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the
Trustee by the Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and
shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by either
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of such
representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects the value
of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a
breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor,
any Transferor, or Lehman Brothers Holdings and assigned to the Trustee, the
Depositor, such Transferor, or Lehman Brothers Holdings, as applicable, shall
either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such
Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at
the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year period following the Closing Date,
substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan.
In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of any
Transferor assigned to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under
the applicable Transfer Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for the
benefit of Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
if any Transferor substitutes for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a breach of
any representations and warranties in the related Transfer Agreement which
adversely and materially affects the value of such Mortgage Loan and such
substitute mortgage loan is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, under the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, Lehman Brothers Holdings will, in
exchange for such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase
Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing
Date, substitute such affected Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan.

         Section 2.05. Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

         (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement, by Lehman Brothers Holdings pursuant to the
applicable Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement or by any Transferor pursuant to the
applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by
the Master Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be
considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 4.01. The Trustee, upon receipt of the full amount
of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the
Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or
cause to be released to the Depositor, Lehman Brothers Holdings or the
applicable Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted
Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall
be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security
interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which
instruments shall be prepared by the Trustee (or its custodian), and the Trustee
shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating
to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

                                       43
<PAGE>

         (b) With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be
delivered to the Trustee (or its applicable Custodian) pursuant to the terms of
this Article II in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the
applicable Transferor, or Lehman Brothers Holdings, as applicable, must deliver
to the Trustee (or its custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b)
along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such
Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a);
and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties
made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as
practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
hereunder, (i) the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and at the
direction and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall (i) with
respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage
Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by such Servicer if
required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such
actions by such Servicer as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly
identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if
required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii).

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to
substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the
additional limitations that no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the
substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not (A) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the
related "regular interests" as "regular interests" in any such REMIC, or (B)
cause any such REMIC to engage in a "prohibited transaction" or prohibited
contribution pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. The Depositor shall cause the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

         Section 2.06. Grant Clause.

         It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (i) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement; (ii) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all
property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and
(iii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the Trust created by
this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person
holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in
full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent
for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein
provided.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

         Section 3.01. The Certificates.

         (a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and
shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code. The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Principal Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage Interests,
specified herein. Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in the
minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest
specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 or
5% (in the case of Certificates issued in Percentage Interests) in excess
thereof. Each Class of Non-Book Entry Certificates other than the Residual
Certificate shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form in the minimum
denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual
Certificate shall be issued as a single Certificate and maintained in
definitive, fully registered form in a minimum denomination equal to $100. The
Class P Certificates shall be maintained in definitive, fully registered form in
a minimum denomination equal to 25% of the Percentage Interest of such Class of
Certificates. The Certificates may be issued in the form of typewritten
certificates. One Certificate of each Class of Certificates other than any Class
of Residual Certificates may be issued in any denomination in excess of the
minimum denomination.

         (b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Trustee upon the order of the Depositor
upon receipt by the Trustee of the Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. 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 an
authorized officer of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual
signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed
by the Depositor to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication
and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such
Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

         (c) The Class B4, Class B5 or Class B6 Certificates offered and sold in
reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable
legends set forth in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a
"Restricted Global Security"), which shall be deposited on behalf of the
subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the Trustee, as
custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed
and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate
principal amounts of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or DTC
or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.



                                       45
<PAGE>

         The Class B4, Class B5 or Class B6 Certificates sold in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form
of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully registered
form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A
hereto added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a "Regulation S Global
Security"), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such
Certificates represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC and
registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed and authenticated by
the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amounts of the
Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or DTC or its nominee, as the
case may be, as hereinafter provided.

         (d) The Class B4, Class B5, or Class B6 Certificates sold to an
"accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act shall
be issued initially in the form of one or more Definitive Certificates.

         Section 3.02. Registration.

         The Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as,
Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books
for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the "Certificate
Register"). The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as
Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the
Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged
or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the
procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with
respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or
trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall
not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of
such appointment.

         Section 3.03. Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

         (a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the
transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in
the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.

                                       46
<PAGE>

         (b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number
of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing
in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of
the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such
form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered
upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled
to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

         (c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global
Security, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of
such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such
Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a
Certificate only as provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S
Global Security shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that:
(i) such Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was,
at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii)
such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and that (x) until the
expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of
Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates or
any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account
or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the
future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such
Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise
transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a
"qualified institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Act,
that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or for the account of a
qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as
defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in
each case in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and it will
notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.

         The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes
delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:

                  (i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
         Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the
         Depositor or the Placement Agent, an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405
         under the Act) of the Depositor or the Placement Agent or (y) being
         made to a QIB by a transferor that has provided the Trustee with a
         certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and

                                       47
<PAGE>

                  (ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of
         a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
         "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
         Act by a transferor who furnishes to the Trustee a letter of the
         transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

         (d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the prospective transferee provides the Trustee and the Depositor with (A) a
representation as set forth in Exhibit H (or Exhibit D-1 in the case of the
Class R Certificate) to the effect that such transferee is not an employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or a plan subject to any
provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or
regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), and is not directly or
indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of any
such Plan, (B) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a representation as set forth in Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit H, as
applicable, that such transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring the
Certificate with assets contained in an "insurance company general account," as
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt
under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (C) solely in the case of a
Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Depositor, and upon which the Trustee and the Depositor shall be entitled to
rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by the
prospective transferee will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction
under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar
Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar, any Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken by such entities in the Trust Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar, any Servicer or the Depositor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
representation or opinion shall be required for the initial issuance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates.

         For purposes of this Subsection 3.02(d), other than clause (C) in the
immediately preceding paragraph, the representations set forth in Exhibit D-1 or
Exhibit H, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by
the transferee's acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (or the
acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of
ERISA-Restricted Certificates). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to
the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on
behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation or an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void
and of no effect. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for
any registration or transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 3.02(d) nor shall the Trustee be under any
liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but
not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this
Section 3.02(d) all payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and
after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall
be paid and delivered to the last preceding qualified holder of such
Certificate.

                                       48

         (e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of Certificate.

         (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or
indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual,
corporation or partnership or other person unless, in the case of clause (ii),
such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds
a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with
an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time
and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by
clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign
Holder").

         Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale
or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall
deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such
transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on
behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any
such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the proposed transferor shall
deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to)
require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the
proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor and the
Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that such proposed
transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed
beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the
receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be
under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such
Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the
transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of
such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be
entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such
times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and
expenses) so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered to the last
preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

                                       49
<PAGE>

         If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f),
then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee that the registration of
transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of
such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

         (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate, by such Holder's acceptance
thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of
this section.

         (h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a
Global Security representing any of the Class B4, Class B5 or Class B6
Certificates remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers
of a Global Security representing any such Certificates, in whole or in part,
shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.01 and this Section 3.03(h).

                  (A) Subject to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h),
         transfers of a Global Security representing any of the Class B4, Class
         B5 or Class B6 Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such
         Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a
         successor of DTC or such successor's nominee.

                  (B) Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global
         Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global
         Security deposited with or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to
         exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Security for an
         interest in a Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest
         in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who wishes to take
         delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global
         Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. person, may,
         subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the
         exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the
         Regulation S Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as
         Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from DTC directing the
         Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to be credited a beneficial interest

                                       50
<PAGE>
         in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial
         interest in such Restricted Global Security to be exchanged but not
         less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder's
         Certificates held through a Regulation S Global Security, (II) a
         written order given in accordance with DTC's procedures containing
         information regarding the participant account of DTC and, in the case
         of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the
         Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and
         (III) a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto given by the holder
         of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of
         such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer
         restrictions applicable to the Global Securities, including that the
         holder is not a U.S. person, and pursuant to and in accordance with
         Regulation S, the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall reduce the
         principal amount of the Restricted Global Security and increase the
         principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate
         principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
         Security to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream,
         as applicable, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to
         be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions
         a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the
         reduction in the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security.

                  (C) Regulation S Global Security to Restricted Global
         Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
         Security deposited with or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to
         transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person
         who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a
         Restricted Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and
         procedures DTC, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an
         equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security. Upon
         receipt by the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions
         from DTC directing the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to cause to
         be credited a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security in an
         amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global
         Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination
         applicable to such holder's Certificates held through a Restricted
         Global Security, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain
         information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited
         with such increase, and (II) a certificate in the form of Exhibit L-2
         hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating,
         among other things, that the Person transferring such interest in such
         Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person
         acquiring such interest in a Restricted Global Security is a QIB, is
         obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the
         requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable
         securities laws of any State of the United States or any other
         jurisdiction, then the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, will reduce
         the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase
         the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate
         principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
         Security to be transferred and the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar,
         shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or
         cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such
         instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security
         equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S
         Global Security.

                  (D) Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Security is
         exchanged for Certificates in definitive registered form without
         interest coupons, pursuant to Section 3.09(c) hereof, such Certificates
         may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such
         procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above
         (including certification requirements intended to insure that such
         transfers comply with Rule 144A, comply with Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
         or (7) or are to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under
         the Act, as the case may be), and as may be from time to time adopted
         by the Trustee.

                  (E) Restrictions on U.S. Transfers. Transfers of interests in
         the Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons (as defined in
         Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the
         provisions of Section 3.03(h)(C).

         Section 3.04. Cancellation of Certificates.

         Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies
with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar.

         Section 3.05. Replacement of Certificates.

         If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee
or any Authenticating Agent or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor and any Authenticating
Agent that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee and Authenticating Agent may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

         Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry
Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         Section 3.07. Temporary Certificates.

         (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order
of the Depositor, the Trustee shall execute and shall authenticate and deliver
temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with
such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

         (b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of definitive
Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.

         Section 3.08. Appointment of Paying Agent.

         The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for
the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee
shall cause such Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver
to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the
Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent
for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on
each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such
Distribution Date to the Trustee. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee, the
Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business
Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available
funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent
shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to
exercise corporate trust powers.

         Section 3.09. Book-Entry Certificates.

         (a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance,
shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing
the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Book-Entry
Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the
name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will
receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless
Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):

                  (i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force
         and effect;

                  (ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
         Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency
         for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the
         Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the
         Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency shall be responsible for
         crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such
         Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency's
         normal procedures;

                  (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09
         conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
         this Section 3.09 shall control; and

                  (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
         through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and
         shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
         such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
         Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are
         issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will
         make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
         receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
         Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

         (b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.

                                       54
<PAGE>

         (c) If (i) (A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the
Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Depositor, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial
interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class
of Book-Entry Certificates identified as such to the Trustee by an Officer's
Certificate from the Clearing Agency advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency
through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests
of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Trustee
shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to notify the Clearing Agency to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, 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 Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee
shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Transferor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall
recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                        ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST FUND

         Section 4.01. Collection Account.

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall
thereafter maintain a segregated account held in trust (the "Collection
Account"), entitled "Aurora Loan Services Inc., as Master Servicer, in trust for
the benefit of the Holders of Structured Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan Trust

         Sections 5.04 and 9.21; provided that if the applicable Servicer is
         also the Retained Interest Holder with respect to any Mortgage Loan,
         payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans as to which such
         Servicer is the Retained Interest Holder may also be made net of the
         related Retained Interest with respect to each such Mortgage Loan.

                  (iv) all Insurance Proceeds;

                  (v) all Advances made by the Master Servicer or the applicable

         (e) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments (selected by and at the written direction of the Master Servicer)

that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee or the Paying
Agent, if other than the Trustee, and such Collection Account is maintained with
the Trustee or the Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, then such Eligible
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Distribution Date) or (b)
the day on which the funds in such Collection Account are required to be
remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and any such

Servicer, and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time and
shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by
the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement
therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the
Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the
Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges or
assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection
Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the

         The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made,
withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

                  (i) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances made by
         it or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable
         Servicing Agreement; the Master Servicer's right to reimburse itself
         pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited to amounts received on or in
         respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose,
         Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with
         respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which
         represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and the
         Master Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting
         which any such Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of
         any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer's or Servicer's right
         thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;

                  (ii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for any Advances or
         Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer that it or such
         Servicer determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts
         representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest
         respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Advance or
         Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
         Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood, in
         the case of any such reimbursement, that such Master Servicer's or
         Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
         Certificateholders;

                  (iii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation
         Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it
         pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(a) or the applicable Servicing
         Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged
         property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such
         reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related
         Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
         applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee and the
         Master Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next
         succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay
         to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees,
         late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage
         Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional
         servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such
         reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer's or Servicer's
         right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;

                                       57
<PAGE>

                  (iv) in the event it has elected not to pay itself the Master
         Servicing Fee out of any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or
         other recovery with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan prior to the
         deposit of such Mortgagor payment or recovery in the Collection
         Account, to pay to itself the Master Servicing Fee for each
         Distribution Date and any unpaid Master Servicing Fees for prior
         Distribution Dates, as reduced pursuant to Section 5.05, from any
         Mortgagor payment as to interest or such other recovery with respect to
         that Mortgage Loan, as is permitted by this Agreement;

                  (v) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred
         by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant
         to Section 9.04, 9.06, 9.16 or 9.22(a) or pursuant to the applicable
         Servicing Agreement, and to reimburse itself for any expenses
         reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(c);

                  (vi) to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been
         repurchased by such Person pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts
         received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related
         repurchase was effected;

                  (vii) subject to Section 5.04, to pay to itself income earned

                  (viii) to make payments to the Trustee for deposit into the
         Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
         Section 4.04;

                  (ix) to make distributions of the Retained Interest to the
         Retained Interest Holder on each Distribution Date (other than any
         Retained Interest not deposited into the Collection Account in
         accordance with Section 4.01(d)(iii));

                  (x) to make payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant
         to any provision of this Agreement and to reimburse the Custodian
         pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, but only to the extent that the
         items reimbursed constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning
         of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii);

                  (xi) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection
         Account;

                  (xii) to clear and terminate any Collection Account pursuant
         to Section 7.02;

                  (xiii) to reimburse a successor Master Servicer (solely in its
         capacity as successor Master Servicer), for any fee or advance
         occasioned by a termination of the Master Servicer, and the assumption
         of such duties by the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer appointed
         by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14, in each case to the extent not
         reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood, in
         the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of the
         Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of
         the Certificateholders; and

                                       58
<PAGE>

                  (xiv) to reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due
         thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been
         retained by or paid to such Servicer to the extent provided in such
         Servicing Agreement.

         If provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer shall be
entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest
Excess (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls). The
Servicers of the Participations shall be entitled to retain as additional
servicing compensation any Prepayment Penalty Amounts received with respect to
the Participations.

         In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv)
and (vi) above, the Master Servicer's or Servicer's entitlement thereto is
limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each
Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclause (i), (iii),
(iv) and (vi).

         In the event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to
remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (viii) by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the
Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the "prime rate"
(as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal) on such
amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Deposit Date
to but not including the related Distribution Date.

to Certificateholders and Rating Agencies via the Trustee's internet website.
The Trustee's internet website shall initially be located at
www.jpmorgan.com/sfr. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling
the Trustee's customer service desk at 1-877-722-1095. Such parties that are

Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the
information or data regarding the Mortgage Loans and the related REO Property
that has been provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall not be obligated to verify, recompute, reconcile or recalculate

Certificateholder that is a savings and loan, bank or insurance company, which
request, if received by the Trustee, will be promptly forwarded to the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause to be provided, (or, to
the extent that such information or documentation is not required to be provided
by a Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain such information and documentation from such Servicer, and
provide) to such Certificateholder such reports and access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such Certificateholder may
reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision or its successor or other regulatory authorities with respect
to investment in the Certificates; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Certificateholder for such Master
Servicer's actual expenses incurred in providing such reports and access.

         (c) Within 90 days, or such shorter period as may be required by
statute or regulation, after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall,
upon written request, send to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder of record, and make available to Certificate Owners
(identified as such by the Clearing Agency) in accordance with applicable
regulations, a report summarizing the items provided to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.03(a) on an annual basis as may be required to enable such
Holders to prepare their federal income tax returns. Such information shall
include the amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of
Certificates and information regarding the expenses of the Trust Fund. Such
requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent such
information is provided pursuant to applicable requirements of the Code from
time to time in effect. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with
Mortgage Loan level information as is necessary for the Trustee to prepare such
reports.

         others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement;

                  (iii) to make payments of the Master Servicing Fee (to the

         the Master Servicer) to the Master Servicer;

                  (iv) to make distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant
         to Article V; and

         Section 7.02.

         (c) The Trustee may invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the
Certificate Account, which funds, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible
Investments (which may be obligations of the Trustee). All such investments must
mature no later than the next Distribution Date, and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments will be made
in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income
and gain realized from any such investment shall be paid to the Trustee and
shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Trustee
for deposit in the Certificate Account out of its own funds, without any right
of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. Funds held in the
Certificate Account that are not invested shall be held in cash.

basis of the offered LIBOR quotations of the Reference Banks as of 11:00 a.m.
London time on such LIBOR Determination Date as follows:

                  (i) If on any LIBOR Determination Date two or more of the
         Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
         Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations
         (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal
         places);

                  (ii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of
         the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
         next Accrual Period will be whichever is the higher of (x) LIBOR as
         determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date or (y) the Reserve
         Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be either (A) the rate
         per annum which the Trustee determines to be the arithmetic mean
         (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal
         places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rates that New York City
         banks selected by the Depositor are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR
         Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two
         leading banks in the London interbank market or (B) in the event that
         the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month
         Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected by the
         Depositor are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading
         European banks; and

                  (iii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Trustee is
         required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
         manner provided in paragraph (ii) above, LIBOR for the next Accrual
         Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination
         Date or, in the case of the first LIBOR Determination Date, the Initial
         LIBOR Rate.

         (b) The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's
subsequent calculation of the Certificate Interest Rate (or Rates) applicable to
the LIBOR Certificates for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of
manifest error, will be final and binding. In all cases, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on quotations of LIBOR for the Reference Banks as such
quotations appear on the display designated "LIBOR" on the Bloomberg Financial
Markets Commodities News.

         (c) As used herein, "Reference Banks" shall mean four leading banks
engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency
market (i) with an established place of business in London, England, (ii) whose
quotations appear on the "Bloomberg Screen LIBOR Index Page" (as described in
the definition of LIBOR) on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date and (iii)
which have been designated as such by the Depositor and are able and willing to
provide such quotations to the Depositor on each LIBOR Determination Date. The
Reference Banks initially shall be: Barclay's plc, Bank of Tokyo, National
Westminster Bank and Trust Company and Bankers Trust Company. If any of the
initial Reference Banks should be removed from the Bloomberg Screen LIBOR Index
Page or in any other way fail to meet the qualifications of a Reference Bank,
the Depositor shall use its best efforts to designate alternate Reference Banks.

         (d) If (i) with respect to any LIBOR Determination Date LIBOR is
determined pursuant to clause (a)(iii) of this Section and (ii) on the next
succeeding LIBOR Determination Date LIBOR would, without giving effect to this
paragraph (d), be determined pursuant to such clause (a)(iii), then the
Depositor shall select an alternative interest rate index over which the
Depositor has no control that is used for determining Eurodollar lending rates
and is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent
third party, and such alternative interest rate index shall constitute LIBOR for
all purposes hereof.

         Section 4.06. Certain Provisions with Respect to the Participations.

         If the Trustee shall not have received a payment with respect to any
Participation by the date on which such payment was due and payable pursuant to
the terms thereof, the Trustee shall make demand upon the Participation Master
Servicer for immediate payment, and may, and at the direction of a majority (by
Voting Interests) of the Certificateholders shall, take any available legal
action, including the prosecution of any claims in connection therewith. The
Depositor shall cooperate with the Trustee in connection with any such demand or
action to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee. The reasonable legal
fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the prosecution of
any such legal action shall be reimbursable to the Trustee from the Trust Fund.

                                   ARTICLE V

                    DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES

         Section 5.01. Distributions Generally.

         (a) Subject to Section 7.01 with respect to the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee or the Paying Agent
shall make distributions in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions
shall be made by check mailed to each Certificateholder's address as it appears
on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar (which shall initially
be the Trustee) or, upon written request made to the Trustee at least five
Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date to any Certificateholder by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the
request and at the expense of such Certificateholder; provided, however, that
the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.
Wire transfers may be made at the expense of the Holder requesting such wire
transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution.
Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each
Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of each REMIC
and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual
Certificate and at such time such final payment in retirement of the Residual
Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of its
designated presenting agent in New York City. If any payment required to be made
on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such
payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

         (b) All distributions or allocations made with respect to
Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be
allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion
to their respective initial Certificate Principal Amounts

         Section 5.02. Distributions from the Certificate Account.

         (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent on
behalf of the Trustee) shall withdraw from the Certificate Account the Available

of each Class of Certificates, in the following order of priority:

                  (i) to payment of the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date;

         for such Distribution Date, as reduced by such Class's allocable share
         of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date;
         provided, however, that any shortfall in available amounts for the
         Mortgage Pool shall be allocated among the Classes of Certificates in
         proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest (as so
         reduced) that would otherwise be distributable thereon;

                  (iii) from the remaining Available Distribution Amount, to
         each Class of Senior Certificates, any related Interest Shortfall for
         such Distribution Date; provided, however, that any shortfall in
         available amounts shall be allocated among the Classes of Certificates
         in proportion to the Interest Shortfall for each such Class on such
         Distribution Date;

                  (iv) from the remaining Available Distribution Amount, to the
         Senior Certificates, an amount equal to the Senior Principal
         Distribution Amount in reduction of the Class Principal Amounts
         thereof, sequentially as follows:

                           (A) first, to the Class R Certificate, in reduction
                  of its Class Principal Amount, until its Class Principal

         Section 5.03. Allocation of Realized Losses.

         (a) On any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each Realized
Loss (other than any Excess Loss) in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be
allocated in the following order of priority:

                  first, to the Class B6 Certificates, until the Class Principal
         Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

                  second, to the Class B5 Certificates, until the Class
         Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

         Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  seventh, to the Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, in

     allocated to any Class of Accrual Certificates shall be allocated (subject
     to Section 5.03(c)) on the basis of the lesser of (x) the Class Principal
     Amount thereof immediately prior to the applicable Distribution Date and
     (y) the Class Principal Amount thereof on the Closing Date (as reduced by
     any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto).

                                       69
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first $0.07 of principal portion of Realized
Losses shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates.


         (b) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of any
Excess Loss in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be allocated, pro rata, to the
Subordinate Certificates and the Senior Certificates and on the basis of the
Class Principal Amounts of the Classes of Subordinate Certificates and Senior
Certificates; provided, that any such loss allocated to any Class of Accrual
Certificates (and any Accrual Component) shall be allocated (subject to Section
5.03(c)) on the basis of the lesser of (x) the Class Principal Amount thereof
immediately prior to the applicable Distribution Date and (y) the Class
Principal Amount thereof on the Closing Date (as reduced by any Realized Losses
previously allocated thereto).

         (c) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 5.03(a) or (b) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any
allocation of Realized Losses pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be
accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Amount on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.03(d).

         (d) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 5.03
shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in
which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof,
after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.

         (e) On each Distribution Date, the Subordinate Certificate Writedown
Amount for such date shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Certificate
Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of outstanding Subordinate
Certificates, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving
effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.

         Section 5.04. Advances by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

         (a) Advances shall be made in respect of each Deposit Date as provided
herein. If, on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that any
Scheduled Payments due during the related Due Period (other than Balloon
Payments) have not been received, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the
applicable Servicer to, advance such amount, less an amount, if any, to be set
forth in an Officer's Certificate to be delivered to the Trustee on such
Determination Date, which if advanced the Master Servicer or such Servicer has
determined would not be recoverable from amounts received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or otherwise. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it
shall on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date either
(i) remit to the Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable
Servicer) for deposit in the Certificate Account immediately available funds in
an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in
the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for
future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04,
used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately
available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account or (iii)
make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating
the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for
future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the
Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Trustee for deposit in
the Certificate Account on or before any future Deposit Date to the extent that
funds in the Certificate Account on such Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the related Distribution
Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination
by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would constitute a
non-recoverable advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled
to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances made by it as
provided in Section 4.02.

                                       70

         (b) In the event that the Master Servicer fails for any reason to make
an Advance required to be made pursuant to Section 5.04(a) on or before the
Deposit Date, the Trustee, solely in its capacity as successor Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on or before the related Distribution Date,
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances
required to be made by the Master Servicer or any Servicer that would have been
deposited in such Certificate Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by
the Master Servicer or such Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only
if it is not prohibited by law from doing so and it has determined that such
Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Certificate Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if
it were the Master Servicer.

         Section 5.05. Compensating Interest Payments.

         The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for making any
Compensating Interest Payments not made by the Servicers. Any Compensating
Interest Payments made by the Servicers shall be a component of the Interest
Remittance Amount.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                    CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE; EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.

         (a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default
(of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge),
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee provided for in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee. If an Event of
Default (of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge) has occurred and has not otherwise been cured or 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 Person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's
own affairs unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer, in which case it
shall use the same degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer hereunder.

                                       71

         (b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Master Servicer, to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and
the Trustee shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

         (c) The Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct.
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) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to
         any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
         in accordance with the consent or direction of Holders of Certificates
         as provided in Section 6.18 hereof;

                  (ii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall
         not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default (other than
         resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer (i) to remit funds (or
         to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to the Trustee when
         required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
         actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is
         in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
         Trust Office, and such notice references the Holders of the
         Certificates and this Agreement;

                  (iii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall
         not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default (other than
         resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer to furnish information
         to the Trustee when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of
         the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
         any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at
         the address provided in Section 11.07, and such notice references the
         Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement; and

                  (iv) With respect to amounts that would be treated as
         "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
         Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid or reimbursed by any REMIC
         hereunder, no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to
         expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
         in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
         of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
         believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
         such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the
         provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
         Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,
         any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
         except, with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the
         Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights,
         duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
         with the terms of this Agreement.

         (d) The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may
be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a
consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to remit to the Master Servicer upon
receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is
delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information
sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property
to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property.

         (e) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which
evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%
as 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.

         (f) Subject to Section 4.04, the Trustee shall not be held liable by
reason of any insufficiency in any account (including without limitation the
Collection Account and the Certificate Account) held by or on behalf of the
Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included
therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted
thereon).

         (g) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty
(A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any
agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation
statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any
such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, re-filing or
re-depositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the
payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any

contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee, as applicable, to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

         (h) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers
of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts.

         (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or
damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits),
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action.

         Section 6.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request, and may rely and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors, Opinion of Counsel or
         any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
         request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties;

                  (ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice of
         its counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete

         or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
         advice or Opinion of Counsel;

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

                  (iv) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing, 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 (provided the same
         appears regular on its face), unless requested in writing to do so by
         Holders of at least a majority in Class Principal Amount of each Class
         of Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a
         reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
         likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in
         the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by
         the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee
         may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability or
         payment of such estimated expenses as a condition to proceeding. The
         reasonable expense thereof shall be paid by the Holders requesting such
         investigation;

                  (v) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents, custodians, or attorneys, which agents, custodians or
         attorneys shall have any and all of the rights, powers, duties and
         obligations of the Trustee conferred on them by such appointment
         provided that the Trustee shall continue to be responsible for its
         duties and obligations hereunder to the extent provided herein, and
         provided further that the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
         misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney
         appointed with due care by the Trustee;

                  (vi) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
         conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, in
         each case at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
         such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
         security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
         may be incurred therein or thereby;

                                       74
<PAGE>

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

                  (viii) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
         surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or
         the powers granted hereunder.

         The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan, or related document
save that the Trustee represents that, assuming due execution and delivery by
the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by it and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except that such enforceability may be
subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, and (B) general
principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use
or application by the Depositor of funds paid to the Depositor in consideration
of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund by the Depositor or
for the use or application of any funds deposited into the Collection Account,
the Certificate Account, any Escrow Account or any other fund or account
maintained with respect to the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity,
priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued
or intended to be issued hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to
record this Agreement.

         Section 6.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

         The Trustee and any Affiliate or agent of the Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may

authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation or national
banking association 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 or national banking association 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 provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.06.

         (a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust

Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor will promptly
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee, one copy to the successor trustee
and one copy to the Master Servicer. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and shall 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.

incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the
Trustee or the Trust Fund held by the Trustee is located, or (iv) the continued
use of the Trustee would result in a downgrading of the rating by the Rating
Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating, then the Depositor shall
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy
to the successor trustee and one copy to the Master Servicer.

         (c) The Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of each
Class of Certificates may at any time upon 30 days' written notice to the
Trustee and the Depositor remove the Trustee by such written instrument, signed
by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, one copy to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the Master Servicer; the Depositor shall thereupon use
its best efforts to appoint a mutually acceptable successor trustee in

successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon (i) payment of all unpaid amounts owed to the Trustee and (ii)

its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become

conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as trustee. The predecessor trustee (or its custodian) shall deliver to
the successor trustee (or assign to the successor trustee its interest under
each Custodial Agreement, to the extent permitted thereunder) all Mortgage Files
and documents and statements related to each Mortgage Files held by it
hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the
successor trustee the entire Trust Fund, together with all necessary instruments
of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed necessary to
effect such transfer and such of the record or copies thereof maintained by the
predecessor trustee in the administration hereof as may be requested by the
successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer and the
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and
confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.

                                       76
<PAGE>

         (b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 6.05.

         Section 6.08. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

         Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding
to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor to the Trustee 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 that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
6.05.

         Section 6.09. Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the
Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates shall each have the power
from time to time to appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees
jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the
purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect
to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place
of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable
(or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in
which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate trustees,
co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the
benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and
remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the
appointee an agent of the Trustee. The obligation of the Trustee to make

                                       77
<PAGE>

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

                  (i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
         the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys
         shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

                  (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations
         conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
         upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate
         trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that
         under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
         are to be performed 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, co-trustee, or custodian;

                  (iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally
         liable by reason of any act or omission of any other Trustee or
         custodian hereunder; and

                  (iv) the Trustee or the Certificateholders evidencing more
         than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates may at
         any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee,
         co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such
         resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
         Agreement.

         (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VI. 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.

         (d) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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. The Trustee shall not
be responsible for any action or inaction of any separate trustee, co-trustee or
custodian. If any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become

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.

         (e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.05 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be
required under Section 6.07 hereof.

         (f) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the
extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.

         (g) The Trust Fund shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees to the extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified in
Section 6.12 hereof (which compensation shall not reduce any compensation
payable to the Trustee under such Section).

         Section 6.10. Authenticating Agents.

         (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating
Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication
of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed
on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent
must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

         (b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.

         (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the
Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense to the extent provided in Section
6.12.

         Section 6.11. Indemnification of Trustee.

         The Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and
agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss,
liability or expense incurred (a) in connection with any legal proceeding or
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder or
under the Certificates, any Custodial Agreement or any Servicing Agreement and
(b) with respect to the last paragraph of Section 2.01(a), including any
applicable fees and expenses payable pursuant to Section 6.12 and the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided
that:

                  (i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have
         given the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders written notice
         thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof;
         provided that failure to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund of
         the obligation to indemnify the Trustee; however, any reasonable delay
         by the Trustee to provide written notice to the Depositor, the Master
         Servicer and the Holders promptly after the Trustee shall have obtained
         knowledge of a claim shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation
         to indemnify the Trustee under this Section 6.11;

                  (ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the
         Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in
         preparing such defense; and

                  (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
         6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such
         claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the
         Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

                  (iv) any such loss, liability or expense indemnified by the
         Trust Fund must constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the
         meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

         The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be
construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under
any environmental law.

         Section 6.12. Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Custodian.

         The Trustee shall be entitled to (a) the Trustee Fee and (b) all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advancements incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its
counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except any such
expenses, disbursements and advancements that either (i) arise from its
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) do not constitute
"unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Custodian shall be compensated as separately agreed with
the Depositor.

         Section 6.13. Collection of Monies.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee
may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and
other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement. The Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it as
part of the Trust Fund and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If
the Trustee shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect
to the Mortgage Loans from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall request the
Master Servicer to make such distribution as promptly as practicable or legally
permitted. If the Trustee shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may
withdraw such request.

         Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates affected thereby;
         or

                  (ii) Any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to

         remedied, shall have been given to such Master Servicer by the Trustee,
         or to such Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of not less
         than 25% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates
         affected thereby; or

                  (iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
         authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or
         receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
         marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
         the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
         against the Master Servicer, and such decree or order shall have
         remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or
         any Rating Agency reduces or withdraws or threatens to reduce or
         withdraw the rating of the Certificates because of the financial
         condition or loan servicing capability of such Master Servicer; or

                  (iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation

<PAGE>

                  (vi) The Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose
         of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge
         into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or
         merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the
         criteria for a successor servicer as specified in Section 9.27 hereof;
         or

                  (vii) If a representation or warranty set forth in Section
         9.14 hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any
         respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
         Certificateholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of
         which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been
         eliminated or cured within 60 days after the date on which written
         notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been
         given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer
         and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate

                  (viii) A sale or pledge of the any of the rights of the Master
         Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master
         Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer
         hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted
         hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee and
         Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount
         of each Class of Certificates; or

                  (ix) The Master Servicer has notice or actual knowledge that
         any Servicer at any time is not either an FNMA- or FHLMC- approved
         Seller/Servicer, and the Master Servicer has not terminated the rights
         and obligations of such Servicer under the applicable Servicing
         Agreement and replaced such Servicer with an FNMA- or FHLMC-approved
         servicer within 60 days of the date the Master Servicer receives such
         notice or actual knowledge; or

                  (x) Any failure of the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee
         any payment required to be made to the Trustee for the benefit of
         Certificateholders under the terms of this Agreement, including any
         Advance, on any Deposit Date, which such failure continues unremedied
         for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which notice of
         such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
         Trustee.

         If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this
Section 6.14 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable
law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within
any period of time prescribed by this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of
each Class of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. If an Event of Default described in clause (x) of this Section 6.14
shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as
such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period
prescribed by clause (x) of this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer, shall promptly terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its
capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the


                                       82
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under the terms of this Agreement; and the Trustee is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including,
without limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master
servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and
records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the
Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer's functions
hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the
defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such
defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect
to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all costs of a master servicing
transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably allocable
to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and
financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if
necessary. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master
Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs
or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly
and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such
reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor,
such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be
entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that the terminated
Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the
Trust.

         Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer,
each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement
to the extent provided in Section 4.02(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii),
(ix) and (xi) to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to
such Master Servicer's termination.

         If any Event of Default shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating
Agencies of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee shall
immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon such Master
Servicer's failure to remit funds on the Deposit Date.

         (b) Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives
the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
pursuant to Section 9.28, the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have
been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in
its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising
thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or


                                       83
<PAGE>

responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's or the Trustee's failure to
provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default
by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility
for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any
notice of termination and within a period of time not to exceed 90 days after
the issuance of any notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section
9.28. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the Trustee's
capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on
liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the
Master Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master
servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless
such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth
herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity
shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the
Trust Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties
hereunder. 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 to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and
may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the
master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master
servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other
successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver,
or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure
of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the
failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee
as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

         Section 6.15. Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.

         During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event
of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

         Section 6.16. Waiver of Defaults.

         35% or more of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Certificateholders may
waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance
of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any
required deposit to the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of
the Trustee to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the
Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected
Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.

         Section 6.17. Notification to Holders.

         Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall
promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at
their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee
shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived
prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

         Section 6.18. Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates may direct
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; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no
obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the
conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or
in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any
successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

         Section 6.19. Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and
Upon Event of Default.

         In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would
become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same
after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer. For
all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer or any other Event of Default
unless notified in writing by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or a
Certificateholder.

         Section 6.20. Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.

         (a) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of the
Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement
pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the Trustee shall file,
federal tax returns and appropriate state income tax returns and such other
returns as may be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and
shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax
law (to the extent such documents are in the Trustee's possession. The Trustee
shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099
supplemental tax information and such other information within the control of
the Trustee as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall
forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within
the control of the Trustee as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions
to be furnished to them, and will prepare and distribute Certificateholders Form
1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the
control of the Trustee) to the extent required by applicable law. The Master
Servicer will indemnify the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against
the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any of such tax or
information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided
by such Master Servicer.

         (b) The Trustee shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS"), on behalf of each REMIC, an application for a taxpayer
identification number on IRS Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method approved
by the IRS. The Trustee, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer
Identification Number Assigned for each REMIC, shall promptly forward copies of
such notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Trustee will file an
IRS Form 8811 for all REMICs created hereunder.

                                       86
<PAGE>

         (c) The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial
current report on Form 8-K. Thereafter, within ten (10) days after each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards,
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (EDGAR), a Form 8-K with a copy
of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an
exhibit thereto. Prior to January 31, 2005, the Trustee shall, in accordance
with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to
the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to March 31, 2005, the Trustee shall file
(but will not execute) a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry
standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. The Depositor hereby grants to the
Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on
behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the
earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination
of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon
request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its
control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee
reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the
Commission. In addition, the Form 10-K shall include the certification required
pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Form 10-K Certification") signed by an appropriate party or
parties (which Form 10-K Certification the Trustee shall not be required to
sign). The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than
those specified in this section.

         (d) If so requested, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit M) for the benefit of the Person(s) signing the
Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K
Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to
undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K).

         (e) If so requested, the Master Servicer shall sign a certification for
the benefit of the Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding
certain aspects of such Form 10-K Certification (provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not be required to undertake an analysis of the
accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

         (f) Each person (including their officers or directors) that signs any
Form 10-K Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund
for any liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such
certification, other than any liability or expense attributable to such Person's
own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this
subsection shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of such Person.

                            PURCHASE AND TERMINATION
                                OF THE TRUST FUND

         Section 7.01. Termination of Trust Fund Upon Repurchase or Liquidation
of All Mortgage Loans.

         (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and
the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to
make payments to Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02, the obligation
of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the Trustee for deposit
into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02 and the obligations of the
Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.10 and 9.14), shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO
Property and (ii) the sale of all remaining property held by the Trust Fund in
accordance with Section 7.01(b); provided, however, that in no event shall the
Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner
so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a
"qualified liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions.

         (b) On any Distribution Date occurring after the date on which the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is
less than 1% of the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund
(determined in the aggregate rather than by pool) as of the Cut-off Date, the
Master Servicer, with the consent of the Seller (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld), may, upon written direction to the Trustee, cause the
Trustee to sell (or arrange for the sale of) the assets of the Trust Fund. Upon
the repurchase of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer
shall, upon written direction to the Trustee, cause each REMIC included in the
Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Section 7.03
hereof to sell all of its property. The property of the Trust Fund shall be sold
at a price (the "Repurchase Price") equal to: (i) 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the
Due Date in the Due Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date, (ii)
the fair market value of any REO Property and any other property held by the
Trust Fund, such fair market value to be determined by an appraiser or
appraisers appointed by the Master Servicer with the consent of the Trustee and
(iii) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan in
the Trust Fund and all amounts due and owing to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer or for which the Trustee or the Master Servicer is entitled to
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
(or the Trustee, if applicable) shall be reimbursed from the Repurchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property for any Advances or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement (or to
the Trustee hereunder), together with any accrued and unpaid compensation and
any other amounts due to the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder or the
Servicers thereunder. The Trustee shall distribute the assets of the Trust Fund
on the Distribution Date on which the repurchase occurred. Upon the repurchase
of the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Fund shall terminate in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

         Section 7.02. Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund.

         (a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall
be made, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to
Certificateholders mailed (x) no later than five Business Days after the Trustee
has received notice from the Master Servicer of its intent to exercise its right
to cause the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or (y)
upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO
Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be
distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office,
and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The
Trustee shall give such notice to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the
Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar
with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall
terminate, or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account
it maintains, the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained
with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Trustee's obligation hereunder
to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest
pending such payment.

         (b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders.
If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law
relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the
benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the
Trustee and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

         (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with
any termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be paid from proceeds
received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund, but only to the extent that
such expenses constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

         Section 7.03. Additional Requirements under the REMIC Provisions.

         (a) Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee seeks (at the
request of the Master Servicer), and subsequently receives, an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the Master Servicer), addressed to the Trustee to the
effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of
this Section 7.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on any REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause any REMIC established hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

                                       89
<PAGE>

                  (i) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund
         for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute the
         proceeds of such sale to the Certificateholders in complete liquidation
         of the Trust Fund and each REMIC; and

                  (ii) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final Federal
         income tax return for each REMIC stating that pursuant to Treasury
         Regulation ss. 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period
         for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets
         of the Trust Fund.

         (b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof
hereby (i) authorizes the Trustee to take the action described in paragraph (a)
above and (ii) agrees to take such other action as may be necessary to
facilitate liquidation of each REMIC created under this Agreement, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor Residual Certificateholders.





                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

         Section 8.01. Limitation on Rights of Holders.

         (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or
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 person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

         (b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class
Principal Amount of Certificates of each Class 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 cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt


                                       90
<PAGE>

of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day
period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being
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 or by availing 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 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 8.02. Access to List of Holders.

         (a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee,
within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by
the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as
of the most recent Record Date.

         (b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter
referred to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal
business hours of the Trustee to the most recent list of Certificateholders held
by the Trustee or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense,
the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders
at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.

         (c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing
Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall
be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived.

         Section 8.03. Acts of Holders of Certificates.

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Holders or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or
instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as an "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement
and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and Master Servicer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee and Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the other of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall
promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the other.



                                       91
<PAGE>

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.

         (c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the
Certificate Register, and the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future
Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Certificate.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
                             BY THE MASTER SERVICER

         Section 9.01. Duties of the Master Servicer.

         The Certificateholders, by their purchase and acceptance of the
Certificates, appoint Aurora Loan Services Inc., as Master Servicer. For and on
behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the applicable Servicing
Agreement.

         Section 9.02. Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors
and Omissions Insurance Policy.

         (a) The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, affording coverage
with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the
performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy and the Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and
amount that would meet the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC if it were the
purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each
Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Fidelity
Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement,
(ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates
evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master
Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy
or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of the certificates and notices
referred to in clause (ii) to the Trustee upon its request. The Fidelity Bond
and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy may be obtained and maintained in
blanket form.

                                       92
<PAGE>

         (b) The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any
material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond or the
Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the
Trustee, on request, certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy
are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the
Trustee all cases of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims
are filed with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such
reports together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond
or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or
insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to
the Trustee. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master
Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account. Any amounts
relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by any Servicer under any such bond or
policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement.

         Section 9.03. Master Servicer's Financial Statements and Related
Information.

         For each year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall
submit to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of its annual
unaudited financial statements on or prior to the last day of February of each
year commencing on February 28, 2005. Such financial statements shall include a
balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of
additional paid-in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all
related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a
nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such
statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding
year.

         Section 9.04. Power to Act; Procedures.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and
shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and
authority (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do
any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with
the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not
limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to


                                       93
<PAGE>

collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided
that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to
take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and
interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this
Agreement. The Master Servicer further 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 Servicer, when the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case
may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage
Loan with MERS, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS 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. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the
interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests
in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation
regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit any Servicer to
make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that
would cause any REMIC included in the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the
extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer by the Master Servicer under
the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, believes it
appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute and deliver, on
behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of them, any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall furnish
the Master Servicer or a Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney
prepared by the Master Servicer or such Servicer empowering the Master Servicer
or such Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon
or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in
any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer
may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master
service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder and to allow each
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any
such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer). If
the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the
laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken
in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under
the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its
name, then upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the
Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In
the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an
independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is
taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the
Trustee.



                                       94
<PAGE>

         (b) In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall employ procedures and exercise the same care that it
customarily employs and exercises in master servicing and administering loans
for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices
where such practices do not conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Master Servicer may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty
interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend
the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than
120 days; provided, however, that the maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be
extended past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing
Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any extension described in
clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make or cause to be made Advances
on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04
on the basis of the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such extension. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not make or knowingly
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any material term of any
Mortgage Loan unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the
related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the
applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case of a waiver of a
Prepayment Premium if (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the
related Mortgagor is reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize
recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) the prepayment is not the result of
a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (i) such Mortgage Loan
is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment
of the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and
such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the
value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
collection of the Prepayment Premium would be in violation of applicable laws or
(iii) the collection of such Prepayment Premium would be considered "predatory"
pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having
jurisdiction over such matters, and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided
or caused to be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion
shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense reimbursed, to the
extent it is an unanticipated expense within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
4.02(v)) in writing to the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment
would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion
of Counsel be required for the waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2)
above.

         Section 9.05. Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Servicers; Enforcement of Servicers' Obligations.

         (a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer to
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References
in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include
such actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer pursuant to a Servicing
Agreement. Any fees, costs and expenses and other amounts payable to such
Servicers shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the
applicable Servicer (to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing
Agreement) and shall not be an obligation of the Trust, the Trustee or the
Master Servicer.

                                       95
<PAGE>

         (b) The Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action
with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is
not required to take under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a
Servicer to take any action or refrain from taking any action if the related
Servicing Agreement does not require the Servicer to take such action or refrain
from taking such action; in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement that requires the Master Servicer to take such action or cause the
Servicer to take such action.

         (c) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the
related Servicing Agreement, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement
and shall, upon its obtaining actual knowledge of the failure of a Servicer to
perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, to
the extent that the non-performance of any such obligations would have a
material adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund or
Certificateholders, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer
thereunder to the extent and in the manner permitted by the related Servicing
Agreement and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into
a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of 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
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor initially 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
Loans (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees
against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, to the
extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for
the costs of such enforcement or (iii) from the Collection Account.

         (d) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
certifications or other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of
the applicable Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications,
filings or reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by
applicable law or regulation.

         Section 9.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.

         (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more
custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository
institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts
in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are
insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an "Escrow Account")
and shall deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to
amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors.
Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been
escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required
to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to
effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related
Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay
such items), provided that it has determined that the funds so advanced are
recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(v) or
otherwise.

                                       96
<PAGE>

         (b) Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Servicers in effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the
Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note
where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs, to
the extent that they are unanticipated expenses within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(v).

         Section 9.07. Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without
any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event
of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans, or enter into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer.

         (b) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that
it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the
successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made
by the terminated Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, and in the
event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment,
release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and
warranties.

         Section 9.08. Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement.

         Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its
obligations hereunder, without diminution of such obligation or liability by
virtue of such Servicing Agreements or arrangements. The Master Servicer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are
serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of each Servicing
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to enter into any agreement with the Servicers for indemnification
of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein,
the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any
Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under the
related Servicing Agreement.

         Section 9.09. No Contractual Relationship Between Servicers and Trustee
or Depositor.

         Any Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Servicer in
its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such
Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, and, except to the extent expressly
provided therein, the Trustee and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof.

         Section 9.10. Assumption of Servicing Agreement by Trustee.

         (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this
Agreement), after a period not to exceed ninety days after the issuance of any
notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.14 or Section 9.28, as applicable,
the Trustee, or a successor master servicer appointed by it in accordance with
Section 6.14, shall assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master
Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master
servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
Master Servicer's interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such
Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the
Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of
the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its
replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs,
damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the
Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption (but not its
performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are
created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of
the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master
Servicer's obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Trustee against
negligent or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

         (b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of
the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer or at the expense of the
Trust Fund, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming
party.

         Section 9.11. "Due-on-Sale" Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

         (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to
the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, and to the
extent that the Master Servicer has knowledge of the conveyance of a Mortgaged
Property, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause
or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the
original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement.

                                       98
<PAGE>

         (b) The Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for the granting of an
easement thereon in favor of another Person or any alteration or demolition of
the related Mortgaged Property if it has determined, exercising its good faith
business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be materially adversely affected
thereby. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for
processing such a request will be retained by the Master Servicer or such
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

         Section 9.12. Release of Mortgage Files.

         (a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in
full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, or
(iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property
is located in California, receipt by the Master Servicer of notification from
the applicable Servicer that the Servicer reasonably expects that payment in
full will be received promptly, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the
applicable Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian) 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 that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 have been or will be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage
File. In lieu of sending a hard copy certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Master Servicer may, or may cause the Servicer to, deliver the request for
release in a mutually agreeable electronic format. To the extent that such a
request, on its face, originates from a Servicing Officer, no signature shall be
required. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
applicable Servicer and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. The Master Servicer is
authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such
Servicer by the Master Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is
authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

                                       99

         (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of, or other legal proceedings relating to, any Mortgage Loan and in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such pleadings, request for trustee's sale
or other documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the
Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee)
and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee or
the Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and
delivery to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, of a trust receipt signed
by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C or
in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit C, release
the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master
Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such trust receipt shall obligate the
Master Servicer or applicable Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the
Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master
Servicer or applicable Servicer no longer exists unless (i) the Mortgage Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be
released by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer
(or the applicable Servicer) or (ii) the Mortgage File has been delivered
directly or through a Servicer to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered directly or
through a Servicer 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.



         Section 9.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit, or cause the applicable
Servicer to transmit, to the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into
the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are
required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee. Any funds received
by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which
otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as a Subsequent
Recovery, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage
Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
subject to the Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Collection
Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement,
and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts
as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall,
and shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause
each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders
that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office
of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such
Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or
insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the
Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.

                                      100

         (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage
Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from a
Subsequent Recovery, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held
by the Master Servicer, or by such Servicer, for and on behalf of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each
Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds
any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such
Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall be
authorized to remit such funds to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement.

         (c) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a
court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall
have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files
representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds now or hereafter held by, or
under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are collected by
such Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans,
whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or
partial prepayments of principal or interest or as a Subsequent Recovery,
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of
the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts
to which such Servicer is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or
the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master
Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by
the Trustee, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage
Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the
possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master
Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer
for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee's agent and bailee for purposes
of perfecting the Trustee's security interest therein as provided by the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other laws.

         (d) The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not
authorize any Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any
funds that are deposited in any custodial account, Escrow Account or the
Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable
to the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of
attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

         Section 9.14. Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.

         (a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor
and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing
Date that:

                  (i) it is validly existing and in good standing under the
         jurisdiction of its formation, and as Master Servicer has full power

         Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under
         the terms of this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of
         which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
         the part of the Master Servicer;

<PAGE>

                  (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer's charter or
         bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree
         or order to which it is subject or (C) 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 contract,
         agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party
         or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject,
         which violation, default or breach would materially and adversely
         affect the Master Servicer's ability to perform its obligations under
         this Agreement;

                  (iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization,
         execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a
         legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
         against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such
         enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of
         whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law);

                  (iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any
         order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal,
         state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such
         default would materially and adversely affect its performance
         hereunder;

                  (v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any
         agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or
         any other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ,
         injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely
         affect its ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under
         this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the
         execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer
         of its obligations under this Agreement;

                  (vi) no litigation is pending 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;

                  (vii) the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary
         business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage
         loans, is an FNMA- and FHLMC- approved seller/servicer;

                  (viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
         court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
         delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the
         Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
         approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been obtained;

                                      102
<PAGE>

                  (ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
         Servicer; and

                  (x) the Master Servicer has obtained an Errors and Omissions
         Insurance Policy and a Fidelity Bond in accordance with Section 9.02,
         each of which is in full force and effect, and each of which provides
         at least such coverage as is required hereunder.

         (b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 9.14 shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee and
hold them harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting
from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, a breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties
contained in Section 9.14(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for special, indirect or
consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, lost profits). It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of
the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the
Depositor and the Trustee as provided in this Section constitutes the sole
remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor and the
Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.
Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as
Master Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this Agreement.

         Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising
out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section
shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the
other parties.

         (c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
of the Depositor set forth in Sections 2.03(a)(i) through (vi) shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Depositor shall indemnify the

fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and
expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Depositor's representations
and warranties contained in Sections 2.03(a)(i) through (vi). It is understood
and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Depositor set forth in
this Section to indemnify the Master Servicer as provided in this Section
constitutes the sole remedy of the Master Servicer respecting a breach by the
Depositor of the representations and warranties in Sections 2.03(a)(i) through
(vi).

         Any cause of action against the Depositor relating to or arising out of
the breach of the representations and warranties made in Sections 2.03(a)(i)
through (vi) shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor
or the Master Servicer or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other
parties.

         Section 9.15. Closing Certificate and Opinion.

         On or before the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Depositor and Lehman Brothers Inc. an Opinion of Counsel, dated

         Section 9.16. Standard Hazard and Flood Insurance Policies.

         For each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master
Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained by each Servicer, standard
fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall
be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the
applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property
acquired in respect of a defaulted 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.

         Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer,
or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this
Section 9.16 (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer's or the Servicer's normal servicing
procedures and Accepted Servicing Practices) shall be deposited into the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to
the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so
permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken
into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to
Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(v).

         Section 9.17. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

         The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause each Servicer (to the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to, prepare and present on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance
Policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and take such actions (including
the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim)
as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds
disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the
Master Servicer) in respect of such policies or bonds shall be promptly
deposited in the Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts
realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property or release to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master
Servicer's or the Servicer's normal servicing procedures need not be so
deposited (or remitted).

         Section 9.18. Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any
Servicer (consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any
action that would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer
or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent that coverage is
available, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to keep in
force and effect, or to cause each Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the
extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such
insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit
any Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates
and is required to be kept in force hereunder except as required by a applicable
law or in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

         (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer to
present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the
insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to
take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans.
Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02.



         Section 9.19. Trustee To Retain Possession of Certain Insurance
Policies and Documents.

         The Trustee (or its custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee),
shall retain possession and custody of the originals of the Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies or certificate of insurance if applicable and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its
custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and
custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or its custodian, if any, as directed by
the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies and any certificates of renewal thereof, and such
other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File
that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

         Section 9.20. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

         The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to
cause each Servicer to, foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Alternatively, the Master
Servicer may take, or authorize any Servicer to take, other actions in respect
of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a
payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount
contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by
the Mortgagor) or permitting a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan
for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to
facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the

                                      105
<PAGE>

Mortgaged Property), (ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a
modification in accordance with Section 9.04. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion or action, the Master Servicer shall, consistent
with Section 9.18, follow such practices and procedures as it shall reasonably
determine to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders and which shall be consistent with its customary practices in
performing its general mortgage servicing activities; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is
acting in connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion or action in
a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the
Master Servicer, nor any Servicer, shall be required to expend its own funds or
incur other reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or
attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or toward the correction of any
default on a related senior mortgage loan, or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to the
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or charges
and (ii) that such expenses and charges will be recoverable to it through
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (as provided in Section 4.02).

Section 9.21.     Compensation to the Master Servicer.

         The Master Servicer shall (i) be entitled, at its election, either (a)
to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee, as reduced pursuant to Section 5.05, in
respect of the Mortgage Loans out of any Mortgagor payment on account of
interest prior to the deposit of such payment in the Collection Account it
maintains or (b) to withdraw from the Collection Account, subject to Section
5.05, the Master Servicing Fee to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(iv). The
Master Servicer shall also be entitled, at its election, either (a) to pay
itself the Master Servicing Fee in respect of each delinquent Mortgage Loan
master serviced by it out of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of such Mortgage
Loan or other recoveries with respect thereto to the extent permitted in Section
4.02 or (b) to withdraw from the Collection Account it maintains the Master
Servicing Fee in respect of each Liquidated Mortgage Loan to the extent of such
Liquidation Proceeds or other recoveries, to the extent permitted by Section
4.02. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late
payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise shall be retained by the
Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer) and shall not be deposited in the
Collection Account. If the Master Servicer does not retain or withdraw the
Master Servicing Fee from the Collection Account as provided herein, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to pay the Master Servicing Fee
to such Master Servicer by withdrawal from the Certificate Account to the extent
that payments have been received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. Pursuant to Section
4.01(e), all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional
compensation. The provisions of this Section 9.21 are subject to the provisions
of Section 6.14(b).

         Section 9.22. REO Property.

         (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property
in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued
to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or, to the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to
sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
but in all events within the time period, and subject to the conditions set
forth in Article X hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property,
the Master Servicer shall protect and conserve, or cause the applicable Servicer
to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to such extent
required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, subject to Article X hereof.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all
funds collected and received by it, or recovered from any Servicer, in
connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Collection Account.

         (c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final
disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or
Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final
disposition of such REO Property; provided, that (without limitation of any
other right of reimbursement that the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall have
hereunder) any such unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing
Fees or Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to
final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived
from such REO Property.

         (d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer
as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to
the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof (and the Master
Servicer shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee upon such deposit)
and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Trustee
for deposit into the Certificate Account on the next succeeding Deposit Date.

         Section 9.23. [Reserved].

         Section 9.24. Reports to the Trustee.

         (a) Not later than 30 days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee a statement, deemed to have been certified
by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account
maintained by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the related
Distribution Date, indicating that all distributions required by this Agreement
to be made by the Master Servicer have been made (or if any required
distribution has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and
status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account
maintained by the Master Servicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Master Servicer to the Depositor, Attention: Contract Finance, and, upon
request, any Certificateholders (or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer's
expense if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies (unless (i) the
Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or
(ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's failure to provide
such statement)).

                                      107
<PAGE>

         (b) Not later than two Business Days following each Distribution Date,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Person designated by the Depositor, in
a format consistent with other electronic loan level reporting supplied by the
Master Servicer in connection with similar transactions, "loan level"
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination
Date, to the extent that such information has been provided to the Master
Servicer by the Servicers or by the Depositor.

         (c) All information, reports and statements prepared by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement shall be based on information supplied to the
Master Servicer by the Servicers without independent verification thereof and
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on such information.

         (d) The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with such information
as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with its responsibilities
under Section 10.01 hereof.

         Section 9.25. Annual Officer's Certificate as to Compliance.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies five Business Days after March 15 of each year commencing in March
2005, an Officer's Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period
ending on the immediately preceding December 31; (i) such Servicing Officer has
reviewed the activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement; (ii) to the
best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Master
Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties,
responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to
the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to
believe that any Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under its Servicing Agreement in all material
respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the
performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,
specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and
status thereof, and (iv) the Master Servicer has received from each Servicer
such Servicer's annual certificate of compliance and a copy of such Servicer's
annual audit report, in each case to the extent required under the applicable
Servicing Agreement, or, if any such certificate or report has not been received
by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer is using its best reasonable efforts
to obtain such certificate or report, and such other additional items as may be
required by applicable law or regulation.

         (b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the
Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies
(unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with
such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's
failure to provide such statement).

         Section 9.26. Annual Independent Accountants' Servicing Report.

         If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year,
directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its
expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the
Depositor on or before March 15 commencing on March 15, 2005, to the effect
that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has
examined certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer's
performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and pooling and
servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this Agreement
and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for
FHLMC or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or such
other attestation program as may be required by applicable law or regulation,
such firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been
conducted in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has
disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as
such firm believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth
in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by
FHLMC requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the
expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies. If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master
Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are
susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

         To the extent that the Master Servicer receives an Annual Independent
Accountants' Servicing Report from any Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
forward a copy of such report to the Trustee. If the report is not received from
the Servicer, the Trustee may request that the Master Servicer contact the
applicable Servicer to obtain such report. The Master Servicer will not be
liable for the failure of a Servicer to provide such report.

         Section 9.27. Merger or Consolidation.

         Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change
in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any
Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting
Person to the Master Servicer shall be a Person that shall be qualified and
approved to service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC and shall have a net worth
of not less than $15,000,000.

         Section 9.28. Resignation of Master Servicer.

         Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.27 and 9.29 hereof, the
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it unless it or the Trustee determines that the Master Servicer's duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material
conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it
and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be
Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. In the event such
determination of ineligibility of the Master Servicer to continue in the
capacity of master servicer is made by the Master Servicer, no such resignation
shall become effective until a period of time not to exceed ninety days after
the Trustee receives written notice thereof from the Master Servicer and until
the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been
appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such
resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor.

         Section 9.29. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master
Servicer.

         Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee,
the Depositor or the Rating Agencies to delegate or assign to or subcontract
with or authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Master Servicer to perform and
carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out
by the Master Servicer hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such
delegation, subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer
relieve the Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of such permitted
assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and
the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master
Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of
the Master Servicing Fees and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer
pursuant hereto, including amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or
withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.21 hereof, shall
thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

         Section 9.30. Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and
Others.

         (a) The Master Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

         (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Master Servicer from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that the duties
and obligations of the Master Servicer shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and, in absence of bad faith on the part
of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

         (c) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trustee 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 Master
Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations
and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Master Servicer shall be entitled to indemnification by
the Trust Fund and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of his or its
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations
and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of 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 Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to
master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in
its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it
may deem necessary or desirable in 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 shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section 4.02.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee shall have any liability for the servicing of the Additional
Collateral, including, without limitation, the perfection, continuation, partial
release, release, termination, realization upon, substitution, foreclosure,
sale, or any other matter with respect to the Additional Collateral, or the
enforcement of the Additional Collateral Servicing Agreement.

         Section 9.31. Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.

         The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee,
and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor and the Trustee may sustain as a
result of the failure of the Master Servicer to perform its duties and master
service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Depositor and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a
claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans entitling the Depositor and the Trustee to indemnification hereunder,
whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim.

                              REMIC ADMINISTRATION

         Section 10.01. REMIC and Grantor Trust Administration.



         (a) As set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto, the Trustee shall
elect REMIC status in accordance with the REMIC Provisions with respect to each
of REMIC 1 and the Upper Tier REMIC. The Trustee shall make such elections on
Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of such elections, each of the REMIC 1
Regular Interests is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. Each of
the REMIC Regular Interests is hereby designated as a regular interest in the
Upper Tier REMIC. The Class LT1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole
residual interest in REMIC 1. The Upper Tier REMIC Residual Interest is hereby
designated as the sole residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class R
Certificate evidences ownership of the Class LT1-R Interest and the Upper Tier
REMIC Residual Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
segregated pool of assets consisting of any collections of Prepayment Penalty
Amounts constitute a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee,
by its execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges the assignment to it of the
Grantor Trust Assets and declares that it holds and will hold such assets in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Class P Certificates. The rights of Holders of the Class P Certificates to
receive distributions from the proceeds of the Grantor Trust Assets and all
ownership interests of such Holders in and to such distributions, shall be as
set forth in this Agreement.

         (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each
REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible
maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) is the "Latest
Possible Maturity Date".

         (c) The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
including taxes) of each REMIC and the Grantor Trust, including but not limited
to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMICs or the Grantor Trust that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the
extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including
expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described
in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties)
are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in
fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer).
The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Certificate Account of
the expenses to the extent (x) provided in clause (i) above and (y) such
expenses are "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

                                      112
<PAGE>

         (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of each REMIC's
federal and state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct
representative. The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the tax returns
in respect of the Grantor Trust. The Trustee shall comply with such requirement
by filing Form 1041. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be
borne by the Trustee. If any Disqualified Organization acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, then the Trustee will upon request provide
to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections
860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, such information as required in Section
860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code needed to compute the tax imposed under Section
860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified
organizations. The expenses of providing such information shall be borne by such
persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code.

         (e) The Trustee or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC
and the Grantor Trust all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC or the Grantor Trust under the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by
the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee shall
provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as
is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a
Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
REMIC Provisions.

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

         (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental
authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual
Certificate in such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other
amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise
payable to holders of regular interests in such REMIC, as the case may be.

                                      113
<PAGE>

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

         (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans.

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

         (k) Upon the request of any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall deliver to
such Rating Agency an Officer's Certificate stating the Trustee's compliance
with the provisions of this Section 10.01.

         (l) It is intended that the rights of the Holders of the Subordinate
LIBOR Certificates to receive payments in respect of Subordinate Floating Rate
Certificate Shortfalls and Unpaid Subordinate Floating Rate Certificate
Shortfalls shall be treated as rights in respect of cap contracts written by the
Holders of the Class BX Certificates in favor of the Holders of the Subordinate
LIBOR Certificates and shall be accounted for as property separate and apart
from the REMIC Regular Interest represented by each of the Subordinate LIBOR
Certificates. This provision is intended to comply with the requirements of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights
coupled with regular interests to be separately respected and shall be
interpreted consistently with such regulation. The Holders of the Subordinate
LIBOR Certificates agree, by their acceptance of such Certificates, that they
will take tax reporting positions that allocate no more than a nominal value to
the right to receive payments in respect of Subordinate Floating Rate
Certificate Shortfalls and Unpaid Subordinate Floating Rate Certificate
Shortfalls. The Holders of the Class BX Certificates agree, by their acceptance
of such Certificates, to take tax reporting positions consistent with
allocations by the Holders of the Subordinate LIBOR Certificates of no more than
a nominal value to the right to receive payments in respect of Subordinate
Floating Rate Certificate Shortfalls and Unpaid Subordinate Floating Rate
Certificate Shortfalls. For information reporting purposes, it will be assumed
that such rights have no value. Each payment made to the Subordinate LIBOR
Certificates in respect of Subordinate Floating Rate Certificate Shortfalls and
Unpaid Subordinate Floating Rate Certificate Shortfalls shall be treated for
federal income tax purposes as having been distributed to the Class BX
Certificates in respect of one or more of the REMIC BX Components and then paid
by the Holders of the Class BX Certificates to the Holders of the Subordinate
LIBOR Certificates. Each Holder or beneficial owner of a Subordinate LIBOR
Certificate or Class BX Certificate, by virtue of its acquisition of such
Certificate or a beneficial interest in such Certificate, agrees to adopt tax
reporting positions consistent with the characterization of payments made to the
Subordinate LIBOR Certificates in respect of Subordinate Floating Rate


                                      114

Certificate Shortfalls and Unpaid Subordinate Floating Rate Certificate
Shortfalls as payments in respect of interest rate cap agreements written by the
Holders of the Class BX Certificates. The parties hereto intend that the REMIC
Regular Interests represented by each of the Class BX Certificates, together
with the related obligations to make payments to the Subordinate LIBOR
Certificates shall be treated as a grantor trust under the Code and the
provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish to the Holders of
the Class BX Certificates information regarding their share of the items of
income, gain, loss and deduction of such grantor trust and (ii) file or cause to
be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any
necessary attachments) or such other forms as may be applicable and (iii) comply
with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such
grantor trust as may be applicable under the Code or other applicable tax laws.

         Section 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

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

         Section 10.03. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss
of REMIC Status.

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

         Section 10.04. REO Property.

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not (except to the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement), permit any Servicer to,
rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any
REO Property which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure" property within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless
the Master Servicer has advised, or has caused the applicable Servicer to
advise, the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions,
such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and
any income generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the
imposition of a tax upon such REMIC.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall make, or shall cause the applicable
Servicer to make, reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair
market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause
the applicable Servicer to, dispose of any REO Property within three years from
the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Trustee or Master Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal
Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant
proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable REMIC may
hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC
status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon
such REMIC. If such an extension has been received, then (a) (i) if the Trustee
has received such extension, the Trustee shall provide a copy of such extension
to the Master Servicer and (ii) if the Master Servicer has received such
extension, then the Master Servicer shall provide a copy of such extension to
the Trustee and (b) the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf
hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt
to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than
three years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Trustee or
Master Servicer has not received such an extension and the Trustee, or the
Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, or the applicable
Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its
acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Trustee or Master Servicer has received
such an extension, and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting on behalf of
the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within the period
ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer
shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, before the end of the three
year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO
Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair market value or (ii)
auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Master
Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 11.01. Binding Nature of Agreement; Assignment.

         This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

         Section 11.02. Entire Agreement.

         This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and
conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and
supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with
any of the terms hereof.

         Section 11.03. Amendment.

         (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee, without notice to or the consent of any of
the Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to
conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with
respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any Offering
Document; or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or
(iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the extent necessary or
desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code and the REMIC
Provisions. No such amendment effected pursuant to the preceding sentence shall,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect the status of any REMIC
created pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant
to clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any amendment without the
consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee may require an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to
the effect that such amendment is permitted under this paragraph. Any such
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any
Holder, if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify or
withdraw the then current rating assigned to the Certificates (and any Opinion
of Counsel requested by the Trustee in connection with any such amendment may
rely expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor).

         (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of not less than 66 2/3% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest)
of each Class of Certificates affected thereby 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;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee
receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the
change, that such change will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a
REMIC or cause a tax to be imposed on such REMIC; and provided further, that no
such amendment may (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 or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the
Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For
purposes of this paragraph, references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be deemed
to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related
Certificate Owners.

         (c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies.

         (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this
Section 11.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Trustee may prescribe.

         (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment of any Servicing
Agreement except pursuant to the standards provided in this Section with respect
to amendment of this Agreement.

         Section 11.04. Voting Rights.

         Except to the extent that the consent of all affected
Certificateholders is required pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to any
provision of this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders
representing specified percentages of aggregate outstanding Certificate
Principal Amount, Certificates owned by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any Servicer or Affiliates thereof are not to be counted so long as
such Certificates are owned by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or any Servicer or Affiliates thereof.

         Section 11.05. Provision of Information.

         (a) For so long as any of the Certificates of any Series or Class are
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act, each
of the Depositor and the Trustee agree to cooperate with each other to provide
to any Certificateholders and to any prospective purchaser of Certificates
designated by such Certificateholder, upon the request of such Certificateholder
or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such holder
or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Act. Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in
providing such information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

         (b) The Trustee will make available to any person to whom a Prospectus
was delivered, upon the request of such person specifying the document or
documents requested, (i) a copy (excluding exhibits) of any report on Form 8-K
or Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Section 6.20(c) and (ii) a copy of any other document incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus to the extent such document is in the possession of the
Trustee. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in
providing copies of such documents shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

         Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise
any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,

         Section 11.14. Transfer of Servicing.

         The Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Trustee
and the Master Servicer thirty days prior to any transfer or assignment by the
Seller of its rights under any Servicing Agreement or of the servicing
thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion
thereof to any Person other than the initial Servicer under such Servicing
Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not be required to provide prior
notice of any transfer of servicing that occurs within three months following
the Closing Date to an entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date. In
addition, the ability of the Seller to transfer or assign its rights and
delegate its duties under a Servicing Agreement or to transfer the servicing
thereunder to a successor servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:

                  (i) Such successor servicer must be qualified to service loans
         for FNMA or FHLMC;

                  (ii) Such successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer
         eligibility standards in the applicable Servicing Agreement, exclusive
         of any experience in mortgage loan origination, and must be reasonably
         acceptable to the Master Servicer, whose approval shall not be
         unreasonably withheld;

                  (iii) Such successor servicer must execute and deliver to the
         Trustee and the Master Servicer an agreement, in form and substance
         reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, that
         contains an assumption by such successor servicer of the due and
         punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to
         be performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the
         applicable Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of
         servicing to a party that is already a Servicer pursuant to this
         Agreement, an agreement to add the related Mortgage Loans to the
         Servicing Agreement already in effect with such Servicer;

                  (iv) If the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage
         Loans at the time of such transfer, there must be delivered to the
         Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such
         transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or
         downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates;

                                      121
<PAGE>

                  (v) The Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such
         steps, or cause the terminated Servicer to take such steps, as may be
         necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the
         servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such successor servicer, including,
         but not limited to, the following: (A) to the extent required by the
         terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal and state laws
         and regulations, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely
         mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or
         disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans
         to the successor servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such
         transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to
         transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of
         servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of
         servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the
         successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related records
         or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of
         servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the
         successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Remittance Date
         but before the next succeeding Deposit Date, to the Master Servicer,
         all funds held by the applicable Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
         Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of
         servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the
         effective date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer,
         continue to forward to such successor servicer, within one Business Day
         of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received by
         the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source
         and proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the
         Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of
         transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate
         with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner
         and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.

attached affidavit of _____________________________ (the "Transferee"), and has
no actual knowledge that such affidavit is not true and has no reason to believe
that the information contained in paragraph 6 thereof is not true, and has no
reason to believe that the Transferee has the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid
with respect to a Residual Certificate. In addition, the Transferor has
conducted a reasonable investigation at the time of the transfer and found that
the Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found no
significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay
its debts as they become due.

Dear Sirs:


         In connection with our proposed purchase of $______________ principal
amount of Structured Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2004-15 (the "Privately Offered Certificates") of
Structured Asset Securities Corporation (the "Depositor") which are held in the
form of Definitive Certificates, we confirm that:

1.       We understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not been,
         and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be sold except as permitted
         in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of
         any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we
         should sell any Privately Offered Certificates within two years of the
         later of the date of original issuance of the Privately Offered
         Certificates or the last day on which such Privately Offered
         Certificates are owned by the Depositor or any affiliate of the
         Depositor (which includes the Placement Agent) we will do so only (A)
         to the Depositor, (B) to "qualified institutional buyers" (within the
         meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in accordance with Rule
         144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), (C) pursuant to the exemption
         from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D)
         to an institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
         501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act
         that is not a QIB (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") which, prior
         to such transfer, delivers to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement
         (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of September 1, 2004 among Structured
         Asset Securities Corporation, as Depositor, Aurora Loan Services Inc.,
         as Master Servicer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee, a signed letter
         in the form of this letter; and we further agree, in the capacities
         stated above, to provide to any person purchasing any of the Privately
         Offered Certificates from us a notice advising such purchaser that
         resales of the Privately Offered Certificates are restricted as stated
         herein.

2.       We understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any
         Privately Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
         we will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a
         certification from such transferee in the form hereof to confirm that
         the proposed sale is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
         transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
         Securities Act. We further understand that the Privately Offered
         Certificates purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing
         effect.

                                       G-1
<PAGE>

3.       We are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment
         purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection
         with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such
         knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
         capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the
         Privately Offered Certificates, and we and any account for which we are
         acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment.

4.       We are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
         Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account or
         for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
         Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

5.       We have received such information as we deem necessary in order to make
         our investment decision.

6.       If we are acquiring an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, we are not a Plan
         and we are not acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificate for, on
         behalf of or with any assets of a Plan, except as may be permitted
         pursuant to Section 3.02(d) of the Trust Agreement.

         Terms used in this letter which are not otherwise defined herein have
the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Trust Agreement.

         You and the Depositor are entitled to rely upon this letter and are
irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested
party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect
to the matters covered hereby.

                                          Very truly yours,
