                                   COVENANTS

SECTION 7.1.      COOPERATION; RECORD RETENTION.

         The SMI Entities agree to deliver to DCI at or as soon as practicable
after the Residual Closing all books and records of any of the SMI Entities to
the extent relating exclusively to the Excluded Assets (including
correspondence, memoranda, books of account, and the like). All information or
records relating to the Excluded Assets which are not delivered to DCI pursuant
hereto will be preserved by the SMI Entities until DCI advises in writing that
they may be destroyed. The SMI Entities will permit DCI and its authorized
representatives (including its internal and independent accountants) to have
reasonable access to, and examine and make copies of, in each case, during
normal business hours, all information, books and records not delivered to DCI
pursuant to this Agreement, as reasonably requested by DCI relating to the

SECTION 7.3.      CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF SELLER.

         DCI agrees that during the period from the Residual Closing until the
date the DCI Indemnity Amount has been reduced to zero, it shall maintain (x)
its legal existence and not liquidate, dissolve or wind up, and (y) a minimum
consolidated tangible net worth in an amount equal to the DCI Indemnity Amount,
as the same may be reduced from time to time in accordance with SECTION 10.6(a)
of this Agreement; provided that during the period from the Residual Closing
until the third anniversary of the Residual Closing, DCI shall maintain a
minimum consolidated tangible net worth in an amount not less than the Purchase
Price, as the same may be reduced from time to time by the amount of Indemnified
Purchaser Claims paid by DCI pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "SPA Indemnity Claims") and by payments by DCI of Indemnified SCI
Claims pursuant to SECTION 10.1 of this Agreement. For purposes of this SECTION
7.3, the tangible net worth of DCI as of any calculation date shall include the
net fair market value of the Excluded Assets owned by DCI as of such calculation
date, but there shall not be deducted any reserve that may be established with
respect to indemnity obligations of DCI under this Agreement or the Stock
Purchase Agreement. It is understood that DCI may convert from corporate to
limited liability company or other form without violating the covenant contained
in clause (x) of this SECTION 7.3.

SECTION 7.4.      COMPLIANCE PROGRAM.

         The SMI Entities agree that at and after the Residual Closing they will
maintain and conduct their legal and regulatory compliance functions related to
loan origination and servicing with the same degree of care and in the manner as
such program is maintained and conducted on the date hereof.

SECTION 7.5.      PAYMENT.

         The SMI Entities agree at and after the Residual Closing to timely
perform all of their respective obligations with respect to remittances of funds
as set forth in the Securitization Documents related to each of the Residuals,
and to pay DCI by wire transfer on each Distribution Date all Prepayment
Penalties with respect to the preceding calendar month to the extent included in
the Excluded Assets. The SMI Entities shall provide to DCI at the time of each
such payment a report relating to the components of all payments required to be
made hereunder in such detail as may be reasonably requested by DCI.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

             RESIDUAL SERVICES AND LOAN SERVICING; RELATED COVENANTS

         Provided that the Residual Closing occurs, the parties agree as
follows:

SECTION 8.1.      RESIDUAL SUPPORT SERVICES AND ANALYSIS.

         (a) Meritech will provide necessary data to SMI, and SMI shall, on a
monthly basis and in a timely manner consistent with DCI's schedule for closing
its books of account, perform analysis concerning the performance of the
Residuals and provide to DCI reports ("Residual Reports") derived from such
analysis as required to support DCI's decisions, from time to time,



                                       13
<Page>

regarding the assumptions (collectively, the "Assumptions") relating to discount
rates, loss projections, and prepayment speeds that DCI advises are necessary in
determining the value of the Residuals as such value will be reflected on the
books of DCI after the Residual Closing, together with calculations of the
current values, as of the effective dates of each Residual Report, of each of
the Residuals, based on the Assumptions that DCI has directed SMI to use
pursuant to this SECTION 8.1(a). DCI shall inform SMI, in writing, from time to
time of the changes, if any, that DCI determines DCI wishes to have SMI use in
performing such analysis and value calculations for subsequent Residual Reports.
Beginning at the date of the Residual Closing and continuing thereafter until
otherwise notified in writing by DCI, SMI shall use the Assumptions used by SMI
as of the date of the Residual Closing for purposes of subsequent Residual
Reports. The Residual Reports shall be substantially of the form as set forth in
EXHIBIT E attached hereto, or such other reasonable form and content as may be
adopted by mutual agreement in writing.

         (b) SMI and Meritech shall make available or cause to be made available
to DCI a complete copy of each notice, notification, report, certificate,
statement or other communication provided or received by any SMI party in any
capacity to or from any Person in connection with the Securitizations, including
without limitation the reports specified in Sections 3.03 or 3.04 of the Trust
Agreements relating to the Securitizations and any notice, notification or
communication of any breach of any Securitization Document, at the same time any
such notice, notification, report or communication is made available to or
received from such Person.

         (c) The obligations of Meritech and SMI to perform the services
described in this SECTION 8.1 shall terminate as to each of the Residuals upon
the earlier of (i) one month after completion of exercise of a call option
related to such Residual as described in SECTION 8.2, or (ii) delivery of the
report described in SECTION 8.1(a) relating to the month in which final
distribution is made with respect to such Residual.

SECTION 8.2.      CALL OPTIONS RELATED TO RESIDUALS.

         SMI shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide DCI at
least 30 days notice prior to the date that each clean-up call option contained
in the Securitization Documents related to each of the Residuals is expected to
be exercisable, and in any event promptly following the date that each such
clean-up call option becomes exercisable, and a report setting forth the
analysis upon which SMI, as master servicer, as holder of the clean-up call
option pursuant to the applicable Securitization Documents, shall have
determined either to exercise or not exercise such call option and the effect of
such exercise on the Excluded Assets Value.

SECTION 8.3.      HEDGING SUPPORT SERVICES AND ANALYSIS.

         SMI shall perform hedging analysis related to the Residuals, and
provide to DCI reports ("Residual Hedge Reports") derived from such analysis, on
a weekly basis and in a timely manner consistent with DCI's schedule for closing
its books of account, as required to support DCI's decisions, from time to time,
relating to changes, if any, that DCI may determine to make with respect to the
Hedging Arrangements. DCI shall be responsible for arranging for the execution
of any trading transaction related to the Hedging Arrangements on and after the
date of the Residual Closing, including entering into such agreements with
qualified broker/dealers as such broker/dealers may require in connection with
such transactions. Beginning at the date of



                                       14
<Page>

the Residual Closing and continuing thereafter until otherwise notified in
writing by DCI, SMI shall prepare the Residual Hedge Reports based on the
Hedging Arrangements as shown on EXHIBIT B hereto. DCI shall notify SMI in
writing of any changes in the Hedging Arrangements that DCI has caused to be
executed and which DCI wishes SMI to reflect subsequent Residual Hedge Reports.
The Residual Hedge Reports shall be substantially in the form set forth in
EXHIBIT F attached hereto, or such other reasonable form and content as may be
adopted by mutual agreement in writing.

SECTION 8.4.      RE-SECURITIZATION TRANSACTION.

         If requested by DCI, the SMI Entities will use their reasonable best
efforts to arrange and assist DCI in the evaluation and execution of a
re-securitization transaction with respect to some or all of the Residuals, on
terms acceptable to DCI. DCI shall be responsible for all underwriting,
registration, legal, accounting, and other similar third-party fees related to
any such transaction. At the time of such request by DCI, DCI and the SMI
Entities shall negotiate in good faith regarding compensation to be paid by DCI
to the SMI Entities for their services in connection with such a transaction.

SECTION 8.5.      CONTINUED LOAN SERVICING.

         (a) None of the SMI Entities shall voluntarily resign as master
servicer or servicer or any other capacity in which they or any of them serve
under the Securitization Documents.

         (b) In addition to the compensation described in SECTION 8.7, Meritech
and SMI shall continue to be entitled respectively to the servicing and master
servicing compensation as provided in the Securitization Documents.

SECTION 8.6.      NON-WAIVER OF PREPAYMENT PENALTIES.

         The SMI Entities will not (and will cause their employees not to) waive
any Prepayment Penalty, or part of a Prepayment Penalty, in connection with any
Mortgage Loan unless (i) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgment of
Meritech, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Penalty and Related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in
connection with a refinancing of such Related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is
related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default; (ii) the Related
Mortgage Loan indebtedness has been accelerated; (iii) Meritech obtains a
written opinion of counsel, which may be in-house counsel for Meritech, opining
that the Prepayment Penalty is not legally enforceable in the circumstances
under which the related prepayment occurs; or (iv) such waiver is made in
connection with a refinancing of the Related Mortgage Loan unrelated to a
default or a reasonable foreseeable default where (x) the related Mortgagor has
stated to Meritech an intention to refinance the Related Mortgage Loan without
solicitation of such refinancing and (y) Meritech has concluded in its
reasonable judgment that the waiver of such Prepayment Penalty would induce such
Mortgagor to refinance with Meritech. If a Prepayment Penalty is waived as
permitted by meeting the standards described in clause (iv) above, then Meritech
shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Penalty by remitting such amount,
together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the Related Mortgage
Loan is required to be remitted by



                                       15
<Page>

Meritech, into the appropriate bank account maintained by Meritech for the
benefit of DCI in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.7.      COMPENSATION FOR RESIDUAL SERVICES.

         (a) The following terms used in this SECTION 8.7 shall have the
following meanings:

         "ACTUAL CASH FLOWS" shall mean, with respect to each Residual, as to
any Distribution Month, (i) the amount of cash actually distributed with respect
to such Residual for such Distribution Month by the applicable trustee or
payment agent acting pursuant to the applicable Securitization Document, (ii)
plus (or minus) realized cash flows from (or to) related hedges for such
Distribution Month and (iii) minus the amount of all indemnification payments
made by DCI pursuant to SECTION 10.1(b) of this Agreement during such
Distribution Month. To the extent that amounts subtracted pursuant to clauses
(ii) or (iii) of this definition would result in Actual Cash Flow being a
negative number (the "Negative Cash Flow Amount"), such Negative Cash Flow
Amount will be carried over and applied to reduce Actual Cash Flows relating to
subsequent Distribution Month(s) until the Negative Cash Flow Amount is reduced
to zero.

         "APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE" shall have the meaning assigned to it in
SECTION 8.7(b).

         "DISTRIBUTION DATE" shall mean, with respect to each Residual, the day
of each calendar month on which distributions with respect to such Residual are
to be made by the applicable trustee or payment agent acting pursuant to the
applicable Securitization Documents.

         "DISTRIBUTION MONTH" shall mean, with respect to any Distribution Date,
the one-month period of collections of payments and remittances related to the
distribution made on such Distribution Date by the applicable trustee or payment
agent acting pursuant to the applicable Securitization Documents.

         "PROJECTED CASH FLOWS" shall mean, with respect to each Residual and as
to any Distribution Month, the amount of cash projected to be distributed with
respect to such Residual, as set forth in the schedule attached hereto as
EXHIBIT G, to be updated at the Residual Closing, which updated projection will
be mutually agreed upon by DCI and the SMI Entities.

         "REALIZATION PERCENTAGE" shall have the meaning assigned to it in
SECTION 8.7(b).

         (b) As compensation for the services described in SECTIONS 8.1, 8.2,
AND 8.3, DCI will pay SMI monthly, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds within 2 business days following each Distribution Date, or pursuant to
such other payment procedure as may be mutually agreed by DCI and SMI, a fee
equal to the greater of the Calculated Fee (minus any Recapture Payments
determined pursuant to SECTION 8.7 (c)) or the Minimum Fee. For any month the
Calculated Fee shall be the amount equal to the Actual Cash Flows for the
related Distribution Month multiplied by a percentage (the "Applicable
Percentage") determined pursuant to the table below for each Distribution Month,
provided that the Calculated Fee for any month shall in no event be less than
zero. The term "Realization Percentage" shall mean, as to any Distribution
Month, the portion of Projected Cash Flows actually collected, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which is the amount of the Actual Cash Flows for
such Distribution



                                       16

Month, and the denominator of which is the amount of the Projected Cash Flows
for such Distribution Month.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Realization Percentage for such Month is 100% or greater, then the
Applicable Percentage for such Month is 1.75%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</Table>

         (c) For any month for which the amount of the Calculated Fee would be
an amount less than $10,000.00 (each a "Minimum Fee Month"), in lieu of the
Calculated Fee DCI will pay SMI, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
within 2 business days following the applicable Distribution Date, or pursuant
to such other payment procedure as may be mutually agreed by DCI and SMI, a fee
in the amount of $10,000.00 (the "Minimum Fee"). With respect to each Minimum
Fee Month, the difference between the Minimum Fee and the amount of the
Calculated Fee for such month shall constitute the Recapture Amount for such
month. As of any month during the term of this Agreement, the total of all
Recapture Amounts for every prior month, minus the total of all Recapture
Payments (as defined below) applied with respect to each prior month shall
constitute the Accumulated Recapture Amount. The Calculated Fee for every month
shall be reduced by an amount (the "Recapture Payment") equal to the lesser of
the Accumulated Recapture Amount or the amount that reduces the Calculated Fee
for such month to $10,000.00. All Recapture Payments shall be applied to reduce
the Recapture Amounts that constitute the Accumulated Recapture Amount on a
first in, first out basis. Recapture Payments to DCI shall be made solely by
such reductions in Calculated Fees payable to SMI with respect to months
subsequent to the earliest month for which a Recapture Amount is outstanding.

         (d) The parties agree that DCI shall timely provide to SMI, and SMI
shall timely provide to DCI, to the extent not otherwise provided in the reports
and analysis SMI shall deliver pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.3, from time to
time all information and documents relating to Residual and hedge performance as
reasonably required by either party to perform and verify the calculations
contemplated by this SECTION 8.7.

         (e) The compensation specified in SECTION 8.7(b) shall be in addition
to the servicing and master servicing compensation to which Meritech and SMI
shall continue to be entitled as provided in the Investor Agreement related to
each Securitization to which any Residual is related. Any additional
compensation or fees of Meritech specifically related to the services described
in SECTIONS 8.1, 8.2, AND 8.3 shall be the sole responsibility of SMI.

         (f) The obligation of DCI to make payments under this ARTICLE VIII
shall terminate automatically at the time any of the SMI Entities (or any
permitted successor(s) thereto)

is terminated, removed or resigns as servicer or master servicer under the
Securitization Documents or there is a Disqualified Change of Control
Transaction.

SECTION 8.8.      NO SOLICITATION BY THE SMI ENTITIES.

         The SMI Entities each covenant and agree (on their behalf and on behalf
of their Affiliates) that they shall not take or permit to be taken (and will
cause their employees not to take) any action to solicit the refinancing of any
Related Mortgage Loan following the Residual Closing or provide information to
any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any Related Mortgage Loan;
provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude SMI, Meritech, or any of their
Affiliates from (i) engaging in solicitations to the general public by
newspaper, radio, television or other media which are not directed toward the
Borrowers, (ii) refinancing the Related Mortgage Loan of any Borrower who,
without solicitation, contacts SMI, Meritech, or any of their Affiliates to
request the refinancing of a Related Mortgage Loan, or (iii) making generally
available on or in the website provided by an SMI Entity electronic links
advising Borrowers that an SMI Entity generally provides refinancing services.

SECTION 8.9.      SERVICING RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

         The SMI Entities agree (i) to promptly perform their respective
obligations under the Securitization Documents, including without limitation
promptly remitting to DCI or to the related trustee or trustee's agent for
distribution to DCI all amounts due with respect to the Residuals and other
Excluded Assets; (ii) to promptly perform their respective obligations under the
Securitization Documents (as applicable) and under this Agreement with respect
to the collection and payment of Prepayment Penalties; (iii) for any
Securitization with respect to which DCI (or its designee(s)) is at the time the
registered holder of any related Excluded Assets, not to propose to seek any
amendment of any of the related Securitization Documents (except for amendments
relating solely to the ability of the SMI Entities to engage in servicing
advance financing) without DCI's prior written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the consent to any amendment
that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the related
Excluded Asset Value (as the same may exist at the time such amendment is
proposed) may be withheld by DCI; (iv) to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with all servicing and master servicing standards contained in the
Securitization Documents as in effect on the date hereof; and (v), subject to
ARTICLE XI of this Agreement, not to, in any respect (A) directly or indirectly,
sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or a material
portion of their respective assets, business or operations (it being understood
that the warehouse financing, servicing advance financing and securitization
activities normally engaged in by the SMI Entities shall not be deemed to
violate this covenant in any event); (B) in the case of Meritech, sell, assign,
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of a material portion of its servicing
rights or servicing portfolio; or (C) change their respective businesses or
operations, including the respective equity capitalization, if any such action
described in subpart (A), (B) or (C) would adversely affect their respective
abilities to perform their obligations hereunder or under the Securitization
Documents.

pursuant to SECTIONS 3.2, 3.3 AND 3.4.


                                   ARTICLE X.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.1.     BY DCI.

         If the Residual Closing occurs and subject to the limitations of
SECTIONS 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, DCI will indemnify and hold harmless the SMI
Entities and the Acquisition Corp. (each an "Indemnified SCI Party"), from and
against the following (referred to herein as the "Indemnified SCI Claims"):

         (a) Any and all damages, losses, claims, costs and expenses, including
any interest, penalties, fines, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and
expenses incurred in the defense or settlement of any claims ("Losses"),
incurred or suffered by any Indemnified SCI Party arising



                                       19
<Page>

out of or related to any breach of a representation or warranty of DCI contained
in this Agreement or any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant
to be performed by DCI after the Residual Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

         (b) The breach of any representation or warranty of the SMI Entities
made in the Securitization Documents and the breach before the Residual Closing
of any covenant or agreement of the SMI Entities contained in the Securitization
Documents; provided that DCI shall have no obligation to indemnify any
Indemnified SCI Party under this subsection (b) as to any Losses arising out of
claims first asserted after the date of termination of the related
Securitization trust pursuant to the exercise of a clean-up call option or as
otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement; provided further that any
indemnity hereunder will only apply to the extent that a Person other than a
party to this Agreement alleges such a breach, it being understood that the SMI
Entities are not precluded by this proviso from making claims asserted against
them by Securitization trustees, Class A or Class B certificateholders of
Securitization trusts or any other third party with respect to matters to be
indemnified against under this subsection (b); and provided further that, for
the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that DCI shall have no obligation to
indemnify under this subsection (b) with respect to any Losses associated with
delinquent loans purchased from Securitization trusts pursuant to Section
2.03(f) of the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement incorporated into Trust
Agreements without DCI's consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.

         (c) Any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, demands,

attorneys' fees and disbursements) incident to the enforcement of this SECTION
10.1.

SECTION 10.2.     BY THE SMI ENTITIES.

         If the Residual Closing occurs and subject to the limitations of
SECTIONS 10.5 and 10.6, the SMI Entities, jointly and severally, will indemnify
and hold harmless DCI from and against the following (referred to herein as the
"Indemnified DCI Claims"):

         (a) Any and all Losses incurred or suffered by DCI arising out of or
related to:

             (i) any breach of a representation or warranty of the SMI Entities
         contained in this Agreement; or

            (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant
         to be performed by any of the SMI Entities pursuant to this Agreement
         after the Residual Closing, including without limitation SECTIONS 8.6
         and 8.8 hereof.

         (b) Any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, demands,

                                       20
<Page>


         (a) Any and all Losses incurred or suffered by DCI arising out of or
related to any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant to be performed by the
Acquisition Corp. pursuant to SECTION 11.1 of this Agreement after the Residual
Closing.

         (b) Any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, demands,
assessments, judgments, costs and other expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incident to any of the foregoing or to the
enforcement of this SECTION 10.2A.

SECTION 10.3.     ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION; EXCLUSIVITY.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, DCI or each Indemnified SCI
Party, as the case may be, shall be entitled to indemnity under SECTION 10.1 or
10.2, as applicable, for any and all claims as to which notice is given pursuant
to SECTION 10.4 during the applicable period set forth in SECTION 10.5 and
subject to the further requirements of SECTION 10.6. The termination of the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not affect the
respective rights of DCI or any SCI Indemnified Party, as applicable, to
prosecute to conclusion any claim resulting from any breach of a representation
or warranty as to which notice is given in good faith pursuant to SECTION 10.4
prior to the termination of such representation or warranty.

         (b) Other than claims for fraud or for injunctive or other equitable
relief for performance required but not yet fulfilled under this Agreement, the
indemnification provided in this ARTICLE X shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of any Indemnified SCI Party or DCI Party in respect of (i) the matters
addressed in SECTIONS 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, or (ii) based directly or
indirectly upon any rights or obligations established in this Agreement whether
any claims or causes of action asserted with respect to such matters are brought
in contract, tort or any other legal theory whatsoever.

SECTION 10.4.     NOTICE AND DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

         The obligations of a party from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnitor") to indemnify the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee")
under SECTION 10.1 or 10.2 hereof, as the case may be, with respect to Losses
resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (a "Claim"), will be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

         (a) Any party against whom any Claim is asserted will give the
Indemnitor written notice of any such Claim promptly after learning of such
Claim, and the Indemnitor may at its option undertake the defense thereof by
representatives of its own choosing, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnitee. Failure to give prompt notice of a Claim hereunder shall not affect
an Indemnitor's obligations under this ARTICLE X, except to the extent (and only
to the extent) the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure to give
prompt notice. If an Indemnitor, within thirty (30) days after notice of any
such Claim, or such shorter period as is reasonably required, fails to assume
the defense of such Claim, or does not continue to defend the Claim in good
faith, the Indemnitee against whom such claim has been made will (upon further
notice to the Indemnitor) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the
expense, of the Indemnitor, by representatives selected by the Indemnitee who
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor. If an Indemnitor elects to
assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitee

                                       21

<Page>

shall have the right to employ (at its expense) its own counsel and to
participate in such defense. If an Indemnitee reasonably believes that the
handling of the defense by the Indemnitor may have a material adverse affect on
any Indemnitee, its business or financial condition, or its relationship with
any customer, prospect, supplier, employee, salesman, consultant, agent or
representative, then the Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and through
counsel of its choice, jointly with the Indemnitor assume control of the defense
of such Claim, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to relieve
the Indemnitor of any liability it may have under this ARTICLE X.

         (b) Anything in this SECTION 10.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action, suit
or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to
the Indemnitee of a written release from all liability in respect of such
action, suit or proceeding or (ii) for other than monetary damages to be borne
in full by the Indemnitor, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 10.5.     SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         All representations and warranties of each of the parties contained in
this Agreement shall survive the Residual Closing indefinitely.

SECTION 10.6.     LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFIED PARTIES' RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the maximum
liability of DCI to indemnify the Indemnified SCI Parties for all Indemnified
SCI Claims pursuant to SECTION 10.1 of this Agreement and for all SPA Indemnity
Claims shall be limited to an aggregate amount (the "DCI Indemnity Amount")
equal to the lesser of:

             (i) $310,000,000 or the amount of the gross proceeds of the
         Offering, if less than $310,000,000 (the "Base Amount"), subject to
         reduction, at the time DCI is obligated to pay an Indemnified SCI
         Claim, by the amount of all Indemnified SCI Claims and SPA Indemnity
         Claims previously paid by DCI; and

             (ii) An amount equal to the product of the Base Amount times a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate unpaid principal
         balance, as of any date of determination, of the Related Mortgage
         Loans, and the denominator of which is $5,230,436,000, or such other
         amount that constitutes the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
         Related Mortgage Loans as of the end of the latest month prior to the
         Residual Closing for which the calculation of such aggregate amount is
         available.

; provided, however, that the DCI Indemnity Amount shall not be reduced to an
amount less than the Purchase Price, as reduced from time to time by reductions
under clause (i) above, during the three-year period following the date of the
Residual Closing.


                                       22
<Page>


         (b) The foregoing provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of the SMI Entities to indemnify DCI for any Indemnified DCI
Claims pursuant to SECTION 10.2, and the maximum liability of the Acquisition
Corp. to indemnify DCI pursuant to SECTION 10.2A, shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Base Amount, subject to
reduction by the amount of all such claims previously paid by any such
indemnitor and (ii) the product of the Base Amount multiplied by the fraction
described in SECTION 10.6(a)(II), each at the time such indemnitor is obligated
to pay an Indemnified DCI Claim or claim as described in SECTION 10.2A.

         (c) In determining the amounts of Indemnified SCI Claims and
Indemnified DCI Claims under this ARTICLE X, any amounts actually reimbursed
under insurance coverage shall be taken into account (net of the expenses of
recovery); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the applicable Indemnitee shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to collect all amounts reimbursable under such
policies as promptly as practicable; and Tax Benefits realized by an Indemnitee
on account of and within one year following the matter resulting in such claims
shall also be taken into account. If amounts are reimbursed under insurance
coverage subsequent to the indemnification for Losses under this ARTICLE, the
Indemnified DCI Party or Indemnified SCI Party, as applicable, shall reimburse
the respective indemnitor in an amount equal to the amounts subsequently
received under insurance coverage (net of expenses of recovery).

         (d) In determining the amounts of Indemnified SCI Claims under this
ARTICLE X, any amounts actually recovered from a Securitization trust related to
a Residual shall be taken into account (net of the expenses of recovery);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnitee shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to collect all amounts recoverable from Securitization trusts as
promptly as practicable.

SECTION 10.7.     NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR LOST PROFITS DAMAGES.

         No party to this Agreement nor any Indemnified DCI Party or any
Indemnified SCI Party, shall seek or be entitled to incidental, indirect or
consequential damages or damages for lost profits in any claim for
indemnification under this ARTICLE X, other than (i) incidental, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits awarded to third
parties and (ii) lost profits directly related to the breach of representation
or warranty giving rise to the right to indemnification hereunder; PROVIDED that
in no event shall any indemnified party be entitled to damages based upon
diminution in value of the SMI Entities, lost opportunity or speculative lost
profits.

                                   ARTICLE XI.

                 COVENANTS OF THE ACQUISITION CORP. AND SCI AND
                 COVENANTS RELATING TO A DISQUALIFIED CHANGE OF
                               CONTROL TRANSACTION

SECTION 11.1.     COVENANTS OF ACQUISITION CORP. AND SCI.

         The Acquisition Corp. and SCI, jointly and severally, agree for the
sole benefit of DCI and its Affiliates, until the later of (i) the date of final
distribution with respect to all of the



                                       23
<Page>

Residuals as a result of either amortization of the Related Mortgage Loans,
exercise of a clean-up call option, or one or more resecuritization transactions
in which all such Residuals are retired, or (ii) the date that the
representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of the SMI Entities
contained in any of the Securitization Documents cease to be effective with
respect to all of the Related Mortgage Loans:

         (a) To cause the SMI Entities to perform on a timely basis their
respective agreements, covenants and obligations hereunder; and

         (b) Not to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit the SMI
Entities to engage in a Change of Control Transaction unless the Person or Group
that is a party to such Change of Control Transaction (x) executes an agreement
for the benefit of DCI assuming and agreeing to perform all of the obligations
of the Acquisition Corp. and the SMI Entities hereunder and under the
Securitization Documents, (y) obtains before consummation of such Change of
Control Transaction all consents and approvals required to be obtained under the
Securitization Documents and (z) with respect to any Change of Control
Transaction occurring within three years of the Acquisition Closing, either has
the Servicer Rating or agrees to maintain Meritech in Substantially the Same
Condition for the period ending on the third anniversary of the Acquisition
Closing or is a party to a Disqualified Change of Control Transaction as to
which DCI has a Subservicing Right under SECTION 11.2 hereof.

SECTION 11.2.     CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO A DISQUALIFIED CHANGE OF CONTROL
                  TRANSACTION.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Acquisition
Corp. and/or the SMI Entities (in this section of this Agreement collectively,
the "Acquisition Corp.") enter into any Disqualified Change of Control
Transaction:

         (a) The Acquisition Corp. shall first give DCI prompt written notice of
its intent to enter into a Disqualified Change of Control Transaction. Such
notice shall contain the name of the proposed acquiror and the expected dates of
execution of the related definitive agreement and consummation of the proposed
transaction; provided that DCI agrees to execute a confidentiality agreement
containing customary provisions and exceptions at the time such notice is given.
At or before the time the Acquisition Corp. gives the notice required by the
first sentence, it will give written notice to the proposed acquiror that the
Subservicing Right exists and may be considered by DCI. DCI, at its option,
shall have the right (the "Subservicing Right") for a period of 15 business days
after the receipt of such notice to notify the Acquisition Corp. of DCI's
intention to require SMI, as master servicer, to enter into an Acceptable
Subservicing Agreement with respect to all Securitizations for which SMI then
acts as master servicer. A list of Securitizations for which SMI currently acts
as master servicer is attached as EXHIBIT I. If DCI does not give such notice
within such 15 business day period, it shall be deemed to have agreed to the
Disqualified Change of Control Transaction. In no event shall DCI be entitled to
exercise the Subservicing Right with respect to a proposed Disqualified Change
of Control Transaction that is proposed to be agreed to after the third
anniversary of the Acquisition Closing.

         (b) If DCI exercises the Subservicing Right, the Acquisition Corp. will
solicit bids from at least four Qualified Subservicers mutually acceptable to
the Acquisition Corp. and DCI,



                                       24
<Page>

or such lesser number as the Acquisition Corp. and DCI may mutually agree. In
connection with the solicitation of all bids, the Acquisition Corp. must advise
all prospective Qualified Subservicers that their bids must assume that they
will not receive fees for the services requested in excess of the servicing fees
received by the SMI Entities pursuant to the Securitization Documents, which
shall in all events be paid by the Acquisition Corp. or the SMI Entities and not
DCI. Upon receipt of all bids, the Acquisition Corp. will promptly consult with
DCI about the details of the bids, and after such consultation will select the
bid that contains the most favorable terms and conditions to the SMI Entities,
taking into account the views of DCI.

         (c) Upon selection of the Qualified Subservicer as provided in
paragraph (b) above, the Acquisition Corp. and the SMI Entities will promptly:

             (i) enter into an Acceptable Subservicing Agreement with the
         Qualified Subservicer covering the Securitizations with respect to
         which SMI then acts as master servicer;

             (ii) take all actions under the Securitization Documents
         necessary to enable the Acceptable Subservicing Agreement to be entered
         into, including without limitation obtaining any and all required
         consents of trustees, rating agencies and/or certificateholders; and

             (iii) take all other actions necessary or appropriate to assure the
         timely and uneventful servicing and transfer to, and appointment of,
         the Qualified Subservicer.

         (d) This SECTION 11.2 shall survive the consummation of any Change of
Control Transaction until the third anniversary of the Acquisition Closing.


                                  ARTICLE XII.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 12.1.     AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF PROVISIONS.

         This Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only by a written
instrument executed by all of the parties hereto. The failure of any party at
any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement
shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later date to enforce the
same. No waiver by any party of any condition or the breach of any provision,
term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether
by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the
breach of any other provision, term, covenant, representation or warranty of
this Agreement.

SECTION 12.2.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENTS.

         All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective transferees,
successors and assigns. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 11.1(b) and SECTION
11.2, no party hereto may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such
attempted assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void,
it being understood that a re-securitization of the Excluded Assets (and related
transactions) shall not constitute an impermissible assignment or delegation.

SECTION 12.4        LAW GOVERNING.

         This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect
to the choice of law provisions thereof.

SECTION 12.5.       COUNTERPARTS.

         This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 12.6.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

         This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties,
and supersedes and cancels any and all prior agreements between them, relating
to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 12.7.       SEVERABILITY.

         Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared

provisions of this Agreement, which remaining provisions shall remain in full

provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held

permitted by law, but only to the extent that such enforceability or application

         The parties acknowledge that the Excluded Assets are unique and

to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, to

or other security).

         This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person,

in Securitization trusts, other than the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns.
