  Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and
             Related Transactions.


            On February 9, 2007, Bear Stearns Residential Mortgage Corporation,
            a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. and an
            affiliate of the Registrant, acquired certain assets used in the
            subprime wholesale mortgage banking division of Performance Credit
            Corporation (formerly known as Encore Credit Corp.) ("PCC"), a
            California corporation that, until February 9, 2007, originated and
            purchased one-to four-family residential mortgage loans offered to
            borrowers with a particular emphasis on "nonconforming" borrowers
            who generally do not satisfy the credit, collateral, documentation
            or other standards required by conventional mortgage lenders and
            loan buyers.


  Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.


            The servicing criteria have been completed within the manner stated
            in the governing documents and are attached hereto under Item 15.

            The 1122 statements for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
            (Corporate Trust Services) has disclosed material noncompliance with
            criterion 1122(d)(3)(i), as applicable to the Company during the
            twelve months ended December 31, 2006.  Certain monthly investor or
            remittance reports included errors in the calculation and/or the
            reporting of delinquencies for the pool assets.

            Although each servicing criterion required by Item 1122(d) of
            Regulation AB is addressed in one or more of the Assessments of
            Compliance with Servicing Criteria and related Attestation Reports
            included with this report, the Servicer's, Countrywide Home Loans
            Servicing LP, Assessment of Compliance and related Attestation
            Report did not address each of the servicing criteria that the
            Servicer was required to address under the terms of the related
            Servicing Agreement. The Servicer has not identified such failure to
            provide an Assessment and Attestation for these items as a material
            failure to fulfill its obligations under the related servicing
            agreement in the Servicer's Compliance Statement provided under Item
            1123 of Regulation AB, because the Servicer asserts that those
            items are not applicable to the Servicer. Although each servicing
            criterion required by Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB is addressed in
            one or more of the Assessments of Compliance with Servicing Criteria
            and related Attestation Reports included with this report, the
            Custodian's, Wells Fargo Bank NA (as Custodian), Assessment of
            Compliance and related Attestation Report did not address each of
            the servicing criteria that the Custodian was required to address
            under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement because the
            Custodian asserts that those items are not applicable to the
            Custodian.



  Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.


            The servicer compliance statements have been completed within the
            manner stated in the governing documents and are attached hereto
            under Item 15.

EX-33 (a)
REPORT ON ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH
section 1122(d)(2)(vi) and section 1122(d)(4)(xi)
of REGULATION AB SERVICING CRITERIA


American Security Insurance Company, Standard Guaranty Insurance Company and
Safeco Financial Institution Solutions, Inc. (affiliates of Assurant Inc.,
collectively the "Asserting Party") is responsible for assessing compliance as
of December 31, 2006 and for the period from January 1, 2006 through December
31, 2006 (the "Reporting Period") with the servicing criteria set forth in
section 1122(d)(2)(vi), section 1122(d)(4)(xi) and section 1122(d)(4)(xii) of
Title 17, section 229.1122(d) of the Code of Federal Regulations, which the
Asserting Party has concluded are applicable to the insurance escrow servicing
activities it performs with respect to all mortgage loan-tracking transactions
covered by this report. The transactions covered by this report include all
mortgage loan-tracking transactions for which the Asserting Party served as a
Vendor on behalf of Servicers for such asset-backed securities transactions that
were registered after January 1, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Platform"). The scope of
the Asserting Party assertions excludes section 1122(d)(4)(xii) of Title 17,
section 229.1122(d) of the Code of Federal Regulations, which relates to
servicing activities that are performed by the Asserting Party with respect to
the Platform, but are not reported on herein.

The Asserting Party has assessed its compliance with section 1122(d)(2)(vi) and
section 1122(d)(4)(xi) ("the Applicable Servicing Criteria") for the Reporting
Period and has concluded that the Asserting Party has complied, in all material
respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria for the Reporting Period with
respect to the Platform taken as a whole. The Asserting Party used the criteria
set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess the
compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

The Asserting Party has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable
Servicing Criteria for the Reporting Period.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm,
has issued an attestation report on the assessment of compliance with the
Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Reporting Period ending December
31, 2006 as set forth in this assertion.

EX-33 (d)
Report on Assessment of Compliance

with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria

1. The undersigned authorized officer of LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services,
Inc. (the "Company") is responsible for assessing the Company's compliance with
the applicable servicing criteria as defined in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d)
(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii) (the "Regulation AB Servicing Criteria") for
residential mortgage backed securities for which the Company served as
third-party property tax payment provider on the underlying collateral (the
"Platform"). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the servicing
criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d) are not applicable to the
activities the Company performed with respect to the Platform.

2. The Company used the criteria in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d) to assess
the compliance with the Regulation AB Servicing Criteria.

3. Under one of the services offered by the Company, some customers may elect to
remit tax payments directly to tax agencies without having the Company remit
those property tax payments through our tax payment service. We refer to these
customers as "non-outsourced servicer customers." With respect to these
non-outsourced customers and the services the Company delivered pursuant to the
servicing criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d)(4)(xi), the
Company's assertion is strictly limited to its processing of tax payments
submitted through the Company's tax payment service.

4. With respect to servicing criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section
1122(d)(4)(xii), the Company's assertion is strictly limited to its processing
of property tax penalty payments. The Company has determined that its servicer
customers may also have access to systems that enable those servicers to process
penalties through obligor escrow accounts. Management's assessment of compliance
does not relate to the actual or potential activities of other parties with
access to obligor escrow accounts.

5. Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2006, the Company has complied in all material respects with
the Regulation AB Servicing Criteria related to the servicing of the Platform.

6. The registered public accounting firm of Grant Thornton, LLP, has issued an
attestation report on the Company's assessment of compliance with the Regulation
AB Servicing Criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential
mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other
asset-backed securities, for which the Company provides master servicing,
trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, excluding
transactions issued by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government or
any government sponsored entity (the "Platform").

Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d),
to the extent required in the related transaction agreements or required by the

respect to the Platform (the "Applicable Servicing Criteria").

Commercial Code filing functions required by the servicing criteria ("vendors").
The Company has determined that none of the vendors is a "servicer" as defined

for assessing compliance with the portion of the servicing criteria applicable
to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of
Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
("Interpretation 17.06"). The Company has policies and procedures in place to
provide reasonable assurance that each vendor's activities comply in all
material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The
Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements
to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria.

With respect to the Platform and the Period, the Company provides the following
assessment of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

1. The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable
Servicing Criteria.

2. The Company has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria,
including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based on
Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the Period. In performing
this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and
Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

3. Other than as identified on Schedule A hereto, as of and for the Period, the
Company was in material compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria. Any
material instances of noncompliance by a vendor of which the Company is aware
and any material deficiency in the Company's policies and procedures to monitor
vendors' compliance that the Company has identified is specified on Schedule A
hereto.

KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation
report with respect to the Company's foregoing assessment of compliance as of
and for the Period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Assurant, Inc.:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying
management's Report on Assessment of Compliance with 1122(d)(2)(vi) and
1122(d)(4)(xi) of Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that American Security
Insurance Company, Standard Guaranty Insurance Company and Safeco Financial
Institution Solutions, Inc. (affiliates of Assurant Inc., collectively the
"Asserting Party") complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item
1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for all
mortgage loan-tracking transactions for which the Asserting Party served as a
Vendor on behalf of Servicers for such asset-backed securities transactions that
were registered after January 1, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Platform"), as of
December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended, excluding (i) criteria
1122(d)(1)(i) through 1122 (d)(1)(iv), 1122 (d)(2)(i) through 1122(d)(2)(v),
1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i) through 1122(d)(3)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(i) through
1122(d)(4)(x) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii) through 1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Asserting
Party has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by it with
respect to the Platform and (ii), criterion 1122(d)(4)(xii), which relates to
servicing activities that are applicable to the Platform, but are excluded from
the scope of management's assertion and are not reported on herein. Management
is responsible for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion based on our
examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining,
on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the applicable
servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of selected
asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing of
selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether
the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected
activities in compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. Our procedures
were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by
the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not
designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred
prior to or subsequent to our tests that may


1


(page)


have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company
during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Asserting Party complied with
the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2006 for the Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.

involving residential mortgage loans, that were completed on or after January 1,
2006, and that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant in the Securities Act of 1933 (the Platform) as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2006, excluding criteria 1122 (d)(1)(iii), (d)(3)(i)C,
(d)(4)(xi) and (d)(4)(xii) which management has determined are not applicable to
the activities performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Management
is responsible for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Company's compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as
adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's
compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample
basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether
the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing
criteria during the specified period and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to
selected servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered
by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing
activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform.
Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from
errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have
affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during
the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2006 for the asset-backed securities transactions for which EMC
acted as servicer involving residential mortgage loans, that were completed on
or after January 1, 2006, and that were registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 is fairly stated, in
all material respects.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Shareholders
LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services, Inc.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Report on
Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria ("Management's
Report"), that LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services, Inc. (the "Company") complied
with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for the residential mortgage backed
securities for which the Company served as third-party property tax payment
provider on the underlying collateral (the "Platform") as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2006, excluding criteria 1122(d)(1)(i)-(iv),
1122(d)(2)(i)-(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i)-(iv), 1122(d)(4)(i)-(x) and
1122(d)(4)(xiii)-(xv), which management has determined are not applicable to the
activities performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Management is
responsible for the Company's compliance with the applicable servicing criteria.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Company's compliance with the applicable servicing criteria for the Platform
based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
applicable servicing criteria for the Platform and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination
included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities constituting
the Platform and evaluating whether the Company performed servicing activities
related to those transactions and securities in compliance with the applicable
servicing criteria for the period covered by this report. Accordingly, our
testing may not have included servicing activities related to each asset-backed
transaction or security constituting the Platform. Further, our examination was
not designed to detect material noncompliance that may have occurred prior to
the period covered by this report and that may have affected the Company's
servicing activities during the period covered by this report. We believe that
our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination
does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the
applicable servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management's assertion that LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services,
Inc. complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association:

We have examined the compliance of the Corporate Trust Services division of
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the Company) with the servicing criteria
set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation
AB for publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential
mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other
asset-backed securities, for which the Company provides master servicing,
trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, excluding
transactions issued by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government or
any government sponsored entity (the Platform), except for servicing criteria
1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(ii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v),
1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi),
1122(d)(4)(xii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii), which the Company has determined are not
applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Management is responsible for the
Company's compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance
based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of
less than all of the individual asset-backed transactions and securities that
comprise the Platform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities
related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those
selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with
the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected
transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period
covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether
errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may
have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company
during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any
other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the
Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in the accompanying management's Assessment of Compliance With
Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i), the Company
has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these
servicing criteria. The Company has determined that these vendors are not
considered a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the
Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation
17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"). As permitted by
Interpretation 17.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and

of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.

procedures in place designed to provide assurance that the vendors' activities
comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each
vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC
requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria
as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to
the Company's eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.

Our examination disclosed material noncompliance with criterion 1122(d)(3)(i),
as applicable to the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
Certain monthly investor or remittance reports included errors in the
calculation and/or the reporting of delinquencies for the pool assets.

In our opinion, except for the material non-compliance described above, the
Company complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned servicing
criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based
on Interpretation 17.06 as discussed above, as of and for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank National Association:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Appendix
I, that the Document Custody section of the Corporate Trust Services division of
Wells Fargo Bank National Association complied with the servicing criteria set
forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB
for publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed
securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities issued on or after January
1, 2006 for which the Company provides document custody services, excluding any
publicly issued transactions issued by any government sponsored entity (the
Platform) as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Management
has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii) are
applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, and that
all other servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) are not applicable to the
document custody services provided by the Company with respect to the Platform.
Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those servicing
criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion
about the Company's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of

during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any

for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the
Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for the period ended December 31,
2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

interpretations  of  Regulation  AB.  In  connection  with any  Securitization
Transaction,  the Company shall  cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver
to the  Purchaser  (including  any of its  assignees  or  designees)  and  any
Depositor, any and all statements,  reports,  certifications,  records and any
other  information  necessary  to permit the  Purchaser  or such  Depositor to

relating to the  Company,  and any parties or items  identified  in writing by
the Purchaser,  including, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the
Mortgage  Loans,  or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans necessary in order to
effect  such  compliance,   in  the  Purchaser's  or  Depositor's   reasonable
determination.

      Participating  Entity  or any  Third-Party  Originator  to  deliver  any
      information,   report,  certification,   accountants'  letter  or  other

      constitute  an Event of Default with  respect to the Company  under this
      Agreement  and  any  applicable   Reconstitution  Agreement,  and  shall
      entitle  the  Purchaser  or  Depositor,  as  applicable,   in  its  sole
      discretion  to terminate  the rights and  obligations  of the Company as
      servicer  under  this  Agreement  and/or any  applicable  Reconstitution
      Agreement related thereto without payment  (notwithstanding  anything in
      this  Agreement  or  any  applicable  Reconstitution  Agreement  related

      Company  is  servicing  any of the  Mortgage  Loans in a  Securitization
      Transaction,  appoint a successor servicer reasonably  acceptable to any
      Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction);  provided, however

            certification or accountants'  letter required under Regulation AB
            when and as required  under  Section 2(d) or 2(e),  including  any
            failure by the Company to identify a Participating  Entity,  which
            continues  unremedied  for ten  calendar  days  after  the date on
            which such  information,  report,  certification  or  accountants'

            Agreement  to the  contrary) of any  compensation  to the Company;
            provided,  however it is understood  that the Company shall retain

            reimbursement  for  unreimbursed  Monthly  Advances and  Servicing
            Advances  made by the  Company  under  this  Agreement  and/or any
            applicable Reconstitution  Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to
            the contrary set forth  herein,  to the extent that any  provision
            of this Agreement and/or any applicable  Reconstitution  Agreement
            expressly   provides  for  the  survival  of  certain   rights  or
            obligations  following  termination  of the  Company as  servicer,

            (or any  affected  designee  of the  Purchaser,  such as a  master
            servicer) and any  Depositor,  as  applicable,  for all reasonable
            expenses  incurred by the  Purchaser  (or such  designee)  or such
            Depositor  as  such  are   incurred,   in   connection   with  the
            termination  of the  Company  as  servicer  and  the  transfer  of
            servicing  of the  Mortgage  Loans to a  successor  servicer.  The
            provisions of this paragraph  shall not limit whatever  rights the
            Company,  the  Purchaser  or any  Depositor  may have under  other
            provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable  Reconstitution
            Agreement or  otherwise,  whether in equity or at law,  such as an
            action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

            (iii) The  Purchaser  agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless the
      Company, any Subservicer,  any Participating Entity, and, if applicable,
      any  Third-Party  Originator,  each  Person  who  controls  any of  such
      parties  (within  the  meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act and
      Section 20 of the Exchange Act),  and the respective  present and former
      directors,  officers  and  employees of each of the  foregoing  from and
      against any losses, damages, penalties,  fines, forfeitures,  legal fees
      and expenses and related  costs,  judgments,  and any other costs,  fees
      and expenses  that any of them may sustain  arising out of or based upon
      any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement of any material fact
      contained  in  any  filing  with  the  Commission   with  respect  to  a
      Securitization  Transaction or the omission or alleged omission to state
      in any filing  with the  Commission  with  respect  to a  Securitization
      Transaction  a material  fact  required to be stated or  necessary to be
      stated  in order to make the  statements  therein,  in the  light of the
      circumstances  under which they were made, not misleading,  in each case
      to the  extent,  but only to the  extent,  that such  untrue  statement,
      alleged untrue statement,  omission,  or alleged omission relates to any
      filing with the Commission with respect to a Securitization  Transaction
      other than the Company Information.

            (iv)  If the  indemnification  provided for herein is  unavailable
      or  insufficient  to hold  harmless  the  indemnified  party,  then  the
      indemnifying  party agrees that it shall  contribute  to the amount paid
      or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any claims,  losses,
      damages  or  liabilities  uncured  by  such  indemnified  party  in such
      proportion  as is  appropriate  to reflect  the  relative  fault of such
      indemnified  party  on the one hand  and the  indemnifying  party on the
      other.

            (v)   This  indemnification  shall survive the termination of this
      Amendment Reg AB or the  termination  of any party to this Amendment Reg
      AB.

3.    Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this  Amendment  Reg AB,  the
Company  shall seek the consent of the Purchaser  for the  utilization  of all
Subservicers and  Participating  Entities,  when required by and in accordance
with the terms of the Existing Agreement.

4.    The  Existing  Agreement  is  hereby  amended  by  adding  the  Exhibits
attached  hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B to the end thereto.  References in
this  Amendment  Reg  AB to  "this  Agreement"  or  words  of  similar  import
(including  indirect  references  to the  Agreement)  shall  be  deemed  to be

Except as  expressly  amended  and  modified  by this  Amendment  Reg AB,  the
Agreement shall continue to be, and shall remain,  in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms.  In the event of a conflict  between this Amendment
Reg AB and any other document or agreement,  including without  limitation the

            The sale of each Mortgage Loan in a Mortgage Loan Package shall be

            The Company shall  maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and
shall make  available  for  inspection  by any  Purchaser  or its designee the

in which,  subject to such  reasonable  regulations as it may  prescribe,  the

the purposes of this  Agreement,  the Company  shall be under no obligation to
deal with any person with  respect to this  agreement  or the  Mortgage  Loans
unless the books and  records  show such  person as the owner of the  Mortgage
Loan.  The Purchaser  may,  subject to the terms of this  Agreement,  sell and
transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans,  provided,  however,  that (i) the
transferee  will not be deemed to be a Purchaser  hereunder  binding  upon the

of this  Agreement and an original  counterpart  of the instrument of transfer
and an assignment  and  assumption of this  Agreement in the form of Exhibit G
hereto  executed by the  transferee  shall have been delivered to the Company,
and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage  Loan Package,  in no event shall there
be more than five  Persons at any given time having the status of  "Purchaser"
hereunder.  The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer.  Upon
receipt  of notice  of the  transfer,  the  Company  shall  mark its books and
records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such  assignee,  and
shall  release the previous  Purchaser  from its  obligations  hereunder  with
respect to the  Mortgage  Loans sold or  transferred.  Purchaser  shall not to
transfer  to any  assignee  any  pool  of  Mortgage  Loans  with  a  aggregate
outstanding  principal balance of less than $10,000,000 without the consent of
the  Company;  provided,  however,  if the  Company  fails to  consent  to the
transfer  of a pool of  Mortgage  Loans  as  contemplated  in  this  sentence,
Purchaser  shall have the right to purchase the  servicing  rights  associated
with such  Mortgage  Loans at a price to mutually  agreed to by Purchaser  and
Company, exercising good faith.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
                               REMEDIES AND BREACH

            Section 3.01 Company Representations and Warranties.

            The Company  represents  and warrants to the Purchaser  that as of
each Closing Date:

            (a) Due Organization  and Authority.  The Company is a corporation
duly  organized,  validly  existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of New York and has all  licenses  necessary to carry on its business as
now being  conducted  and is licensed,  qualified and in good standing in each
state where a Mortgaged  Property is located if the laws of such state require
licensing or  qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted
by the Company, and in any event the Company is in compliance with the laws of
any such state to the extent  necessary  to ensure the  enforceability  of the
related  Mortgage  Loan and the  servicing of such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement; the Company has the full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this  Agreement  and to perform in accordance
herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including
all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the
Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly and validly authorized;  this Agreement evidences the valid,  binding and
enforceable  obligation of the Company; and all requisite corporate action has
been taken by the Company to make this  Agreement  valid and binding  upon the
Company in accordance with its terms;

            (b)  Ordinary  Course  of  Business.   The   consummation  of  the
transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement  are in the ordinary  course of
business of the Company,  and the transfer,  assignment  and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement are
not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction;

            (c) No  Conflicts.  Neither  the  execution  and  delivery of this
Agreement,  the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans by the Company,  the sale of
the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or the transactions  contemplated  hereby,
nor the  fulfillment  of or compliance  with the terms and  conditions of this
Agreement,  will  conflict  with or result  in a breach  of any of the  terms,
conditions  or  provisions  of the  Company's  charter or by-laws or any legal
restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party
or by which it is bound,  or constitute a default or result in an acceleration
under  any of the  foregoing,  or result in the  violation  of any law,  rule,
regulation,  order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is
subject,  or impair the ability of the  Purchaser  to realize on the  Mortgage
Loans, or impair the value of the Mortgage Loans;


                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>

            (d) Ability to Service. The Company is an approved seller/servicer
of conventional residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, with
the facilities,  procedures, and experienced personnel necessary for the sound
servicing  of  mortgage  loans of the same  type as the  Mortgage  Loans.  The
Company is in good  standing to sell  mortgage  loans to and service  mortgage
loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and no event has occurred,  including but
not limited to a change in  insurance  coverage,  which would make the Company
unable to comply with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac  eligibility  requirements  or
which would require notification to either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;

            (e) Reasonable  Servicing Fee. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the Servicing  Fee, as  calculated at the Servicing Fee Rate,  represents
reasonable  compensation  for  performing  such  services  and that the entire
Servicing  Fee  shall  be  treated  by the  Company,  for  accounting  and tax
purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

            (f) Ability to Perform.  The Company does not believe, nor does it
have any reason or cause to  believe,  that it cannot  perform  each and every
covenant  contained in this Agreement.  The Company is solvent and the sale of
the Mortgage  Loans is not  undertaken to hinder,  delay or defraud any of the
Company's creditors;

            (g) No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation  pending or to the best of the  Company's  knowledge  threatened
against the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may
result in any material adverse change in the business,  operations,  financial
condition,  properties or assets of the Company, or in any material impairment
of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business  substantially
as now conducted,  or in any material liability on the part of the Company, or
which would draw into question the validity of this  Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations
of the  Company  contemplated  herein,  or which  would be  likely  to  impair
materially  the  ability of the  Company  to  perform  under the terms of this
Agreement;

            (h) No Consent Required.  No consent,  approval,  authorization or
order  of any  court  or  governmental  agency  or  body is  required  for the
execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Company of or  compliance by the
Company with this  Agreement or the sale of the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by
the  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement,  or if
required, such approval has been obtained prior to the related Closing Date;

            (i) Selection Process. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among
the  adjustable  rate  one- to  four-family  mortgage  loans in the  Company's
portfolio  at the related  Closing  Date as to which the  representations  and
warranties  set forth in Section 3.02 could be made and such selection was not
made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;


                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>

            (j) Pool  Characteristics.  With  respect  to each  Mortgage  Loan
Package,  the  Mortgage  Loan  characteristics  set forth on  Exhibit 2 to the
related Assignment and Conveyance are true and complete.

            (k)  No  Untrue  Information.   Neither  this  Agreement  nor  any
statement,  report or other document  furnished or to be furnished pursuant to
this  Agreement or in connection  with the  transactions  contemplated  hereby
contains any untrue  statement  of fact or omits to state a fact  necessary to
make the statements contained therein not misleading;

            (l)  Sale   Treatment.   The  Company  has  determined   that  the
disposition  of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will be afforded
sale treatment for accounting and tax purposes;

            (m)  Financial  Statements.  There  has  been  no  change  in  the
business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company
since the date of the Company's most recent  financial  statements  that would
have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement;

            (n) No Brokers'  Fees.  The Company has not dealt with any broker,
investment  banker,  agent  or  other  person  that  may  be  entitled  to any
commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;

            (o) Origination.  The Company's decision to originate any mortgage
loan or to deny any mortgage loan application is an independent decision based
upon Company's Underwriting  Guidelines,  and is in no way made as a result of
Purchaser's decision to purchase,  or not to purchase,  or the price Purchaser
may offer to pay for, any such mortgage loan, if originated; and

            (p) MERS.  The Company is a member of MERS in good  standing,  and
will comply in all material  respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection  with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage  Loans for as long as such
Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS;

                  Section 3.02  Representations and Warranties Regarding
                                Individual Mortgage Loans.

            As to each  Mortgage  Loan,  the  Company  hereby  represents  and
warrants to the Purchaser that as of the related Closing Date:

            (a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in each
Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;

            (b) Payments  Current.  All payments required to be made up to the
related  Closing  Date for the  Mortgage  Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note have been made and credited.  No payment required under the Mortgage Loan
has been more than 30 days  delinquent  at any time in the twelve months prior
to the related  Closing  Date.  The first  Monthly  Payment shall be made with
respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace  period,  all
in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;


                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>

            (c) No  Outstanding  Charges.  There are no defaults in  complying
with the terms of the  Mortgages,  and all  taxes,  governmental  assessments,
insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges,  leasehold payments or
ground  rents  which  previously  became due and owing  have been paid,  or an
escrow of funds has been established in an amount  sufficient to pay for every
such item which remains  unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due
and payable.  The Company has not  advanced  funds,  or induced,  solicited or
knowingly  received any advance of funds by a party other than the  Mortgagor,
directly  or  indirectly,  for the  payment of any amount  required  under the
Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note
or date of disbursement  of the Mortgage Loan proceeds,  whichever is greater,
to the day which  precedes by one month the Due Date of the first  installment
of principal and interest;

            (d) Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired,  waived,  altered or modified in any respect,
except by a  written  instrument  which has been  recorded,  if  necessary  to
protect the  interests of the  Purchaser  and which has been  delivered to the
Custodian.  The substance of any such waiver,  alteration or modification  has
been  approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title  insurer,
to the extent  required  by the  policy,  and its terms are  reflected  on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in
part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer
of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the
policy,  and which  assumption  agreement  is part of the  Mortgage  Loan File
delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;

            (e) No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury,  nor will the  operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage,  or the exercise of any right thereunder,  render either
the  Mortgage  Note or the  Mortgage  unenforceable,  in whole or in part,  or
subject  to  any  right  of  rescission,  set-off,  counterclaim  or  defense,
including  without  limitation  the  defense  of usury,  and no such  right of
rescission,  set-off,  counterclaim  or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto,  and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal  bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

            (f) Hazard Insurance.  Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage,  all
buildings or other  improvements upon the Mortgaged  Property are insured by a
generally  acceptable  insurer  against  loss by  fire,  hazards  of  extended
coverage  and such  other  hazards  as are  customary  in the area  where  the
Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements  of Section 4.10. If upon  origination  of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged  Property was in an area  identified in the Federal  Register by the
Federal Emergency  Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance  policy meeting the
requirements  of  the  current  guidelines  of  the  Federal  Flood  Insurance
Administration  is in effect  which  policy  conforms to the  requirements  of
Section 4.10. All individual  insurance  policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all
premiums  thereon  have  been  paid.  The  Mortgage  obligates  the  Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such  insurance at such  Mortgagor's  cost and
expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required
by state law or  regulation,  the Mortgagor has been given an  opportunity  to
choose the carrier of the required  hazard  insurance,  provided the policy is
not a "master"  or  "blanket"  hazard  insurance  policy  covering  the common
facilities of a planned unit  development.  The hazard insurance policy is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer,  is in full force and effect, and
will be in full  force and effect  and inure to the  benefit of the  Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement. The
Company has not engaged in, and has no  knowledge  of the  Mortgagor's  or any
Subservicer's  having  engaged in, any act or omission  which would impair the
coverage of any such  policy,  the  benefits of the  endorsement  provided for
herein,  or the  validity  and  binding  effect of either,  including  without
limitation,  no unlawful fee, unlawful commission,  unlawful kickback or other
unlawful  compensation  or value  of any  kind  has been or will be  received,
retained or realized by any attorney,  firm or other person or entity,  and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;


                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>

            (g) Compliance with Applicable  Laws. Any and all  requirements of
any  federal,  state  or  local  law  including,  without  limitation,  usury,
truth-in-lending,   real  estate   settlement   procedures,   consumer  credit
protection,  equal credit  opportunity  or disclosure  laws  applicable to the
Mortgage Loan have been complied  with,  and the Company shall maintain in its
possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the
Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

            (h) No  Satisfaction  of  Mortgage.  The  Mortgage  has  not  been
satisfied,  canceled,  subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
Mortgaged  Property has not been released  from the lien of the  Mortgage,  in
whole or in part, nor has any  instrument  been executed that would effect any
such release,  cancellation,  subordination or rescission. The Company has not
waived the  performance  by the  Mortgagor of any action,  if the  Mortgagor's
failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default,
nor has the Company  waived any default  resulting from any action or inaction
by the Mortgagor;

            (i)  Location  and  Type  of  Mortgaged  Property.  The  Mortgaged
Property  is a fee  simple  property  located in the state  identified  in the
related  Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with
a  detached  single  family  residence  erected  thereon,   or  an  individual
condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a
planned unit development,  provided,  however, that any condominium project or
planned  unit  development  shall  conform  with  the  Company's  Underwriting
Guidelines regarding such dwellings,  and no residence or dwelling is a mobile
home or a manufactured  dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used
for commercial purposes;


                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>

            (j)  Valid  First  Lien.  The  Mortgage  is a  valid,  subsisting,
enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property,  including all
buildings and  improvements  on the  Mortgaged  Property,  and all  additions,
alterations and  replacements  made at any time with respect to the foregoing.
The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

            (1) the lien of current real property  taxes and  assessments  not
      yet due and payable;

            (2)  covenants,  conditions  and  restrictions,   rights  of  way,
      easements  and  other  matters  of the  public  record as of the date of
      recording  acceptable  to mortgage  lending  institutions  generally and
      specifically   referred  to  in  the  lender's  title  insurance  policy
      delivered to the  originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or
      to otherwise  considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the
      Mortgage Loan or (ii) which do not adversely  affect the Appraised Value
      of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

            (3) other matters to which like  properties  are commonly  subject
      which do not  materially  interfere  with the  benefits of the  security
      intended to be provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment,  value or
      marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in  connection  with the  Mortgage  Loan  establishes  and creates a
valid,  subsisting  and  enforceable  first lien and first  priority  security
interest on the property  described  therein and the Company has full right to
sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.  The Mortgaged Property was not, as
of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan,  subject to a mortgage,  deed
of trust,  deed to secured debt or other security  instrument  creating a lien
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

            (k)  Validity of Mortgage  Documents.  The  Mortgage  Note and the
Mortgage are genuine,  and each is the legal,  valid and binding obligation of
the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the
Mortgage  Note and the  Mortgage  and any other  related  agreement  had legal
capacity  to enter into the  Mortgage  Loan and to  execute  and  deliver  the
Mortgage  Note and the  Mortgage  and any  other  related  agreement,  and the
Mortgage  Note and the Mortgage  have been duly and properly  executed by such
parties.  No fraud was committed by the Company, or to the Company's knowledge
by  any  other  person  including  the  Mortgagor,   in  connection  with  the
origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The Company has reviewed all of
the documents  constituting  the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as
it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set
forth herein;

            (l) Full  Disbursement  of Proceeds.  The  Mortgage  Loan has been
closed and the proceeds of the  Mortgage  Loan have been fully  disbursed  and
there  is no  requirement  for  future  advances  thereunder,  and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and  expenses  incurred  in making or closing the  Mortgage  Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage were paid,  and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any
refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;


                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>

            (m) Ownership.  The Company is the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage  Loan.  The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged,  and the
Company has good and marketable title thereto,  and has full right to transfer
and sell the  Mortgage  Loan  therein to the  Purchaser  free and clear of any
encumbrance,  equity,  participation interest,  lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest,  and has 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;

            (n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,  assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,  were) (1)
in compliance with any and all applicable  licensing  requirements of the laws
of the state  wherein the  Mortgaged  Property is located,  and (2)  organized
under the laws of such state,  or (3)  qualified to do business in such state,
or (4)  federal  savings  and  loan  associations  or  national  banks  having
principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;

            (o) LTV, PMI Policy.  Any Mortgage Loan with an LTV over 80% has a
PMI Policy insuring, as to payment defaults,  the excess LTV over 71% (or such
other percentage as stated in the related Confirmation) of the Appraised Value
until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. All  provisions of such
PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force
and  effect,  and all  premiums  due  thereunder  have been  paid.  No action,
inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will
result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage.  Any Mortgage
Loan subject to a PMI Policy  obligates the  Mortgagor  thereunder to maintain
the PMI Policy and to pay all  premiums and charges in  connection  therewith;
provided,  that,  with  respect  to  LPMI  Loans,  the  Company  is  obligated
thereunder  to maintain the LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith.  The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any insurance  premium  excluded
any premium for the LPMI Policy;

            (p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an
attorney's  opinion of title and  abstract of title the form and  substance of
which is acceptable to mortgage lending  institutions making mortgage loans in
the area where the  Mortgaged  Property  is  located or (ii) an ALTA  lender's
title  insurance  policy  or other  generally  acceptable  form of  policy  of
insurance  acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,  issued by a title insurer
acceptable  to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and  qualified  to do business in the
jurisdiction  where the Mortgaged  Property is located,  insuring the Company,
its successors  and assigns,  as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in
the original  principal  amount of the Mortgage  Loan (or to the extent that a
Mortgage  Note  provides  for  negative  amortization,  the maximum  amount of
negative  amortization in accordance with the Mortgage),  and against any loss
by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the
provisions of the Mortgage  providing for adjustment in the Mortgage  Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment,  subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) of  paragraph  (j) of this Section  3.02.  Where  required by
state law or  regulation,  the  Mortgagor  has been given the  opportunity  to
choose the carrier of the required  mortgage  title  insurance.  Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress,
and against  encroachments  by or upon the Mortgaged  Property or any interest
therein.  The Company is the sole  insured of such  lender's  title  insurance
policy,  and such lender's title insurance  policy is in full force and effect
and will be in force and  effect  upon the  consummation  of the  transactions
contemplated by this  Agreement.  No claims have been made under such lender's
title  insurance  policy,  and no prior holder of the Mortgage,  including the
Company,  has done,  by act or  omission,  anything  which  would  impair  the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy including without limitation,
no unlawful fee, commission,  kickback or other unlawful compensation or value
of any  kind  has  been or will  be  received,  retained  or  realized  by any
attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by the Company;


                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>

            (q) No Defaults.  There is no default,  breach, violation or event
of acceleration  existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure  period,  would  constitute a default,  breach,  violation or event of
acceleration,  and neither the  Company nor its  predecessors  have waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

            (r) No Mechanics' Liens.  There are no mechanics' or similar liens
or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding  that under the law could give rise to such liens)  affecting  the
related  Mortgaged  Property  which are or may be liens  prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

            (s) Location of Improvements;  No Encroachments.  All improvements
which were  considered in  determining  the  Appraised  Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the  boundaries and building  restriction  lines of
the Mortgaged  Property and no improvements on adjoining  properties  encroach
upon the Mortgaged  Property.  No improvement  located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

            (t)  Origination;  Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated
by  either  i) the  Company,  which  is a  FNMA-approved,  FHLMC-approved  and
HUD-approved  mortgage  banker,  or ii) an  entity  that  is a  FNMA-approved,
FHLMC-approved  and  HUD-approved  mortgage  banker,  or a  savings  and  loan
association,  a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution
which is supervised and examined by a Federal or state authority. The interest
rate on the related Mortgage Note is adjusted annually in the case of Treasury
Rate Mortgage Loans and LIBOR Mortgage Loans on each Interest Rate  Adjustment
Date to equal the Index plus the Gross  Margin,  subject to the  Initial  Rate
Cap,  Periodic  Rate Cap and the Lifetime  Mortgage  Interest  Rate Cap as set
forth in the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage  Interest Rate for a 5/1 ARM Mortgage
Loan and a 3/1 ARM  Mortgage  Loan is adjusted  annually  commencing  from and
after the  sixtieth  Monthly  Payment and the  thirty-sixth  Monthly  Payment,
respectively,  in the same manner as a Treasury  Rate  Mortgage Loan and LIBOR
Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that the Periodic Rate Cap does not apply to
the initial  Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan (the
Initial  Rate Cap does  apply).  The  Mortgage  Note is payable  each month in
monthly installments of principal and interest,  with interest in arrears, and
requires  Monthly  Payments  sufficient  to amortize  the  original  principal
balance  of the  Mortgage  Loan  over a term of no more  than 30  years.  Each
Convertible  Mortgage  Loan  contains a  provision  whereby the  Mortgagor  is
permitted to convert the Mortgage  Loan to a fixed-rate  mortgage  loan at any
time  between  the first  and  fifth  anniversary  of the  origination  of the
Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a provision for negative amortization;

            (u)  Customary  Provisions.  The Mortgage  contains  customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof  adequate for the  realization  against the Mortgaged  Property of the
benefits of the security  provided  thereby,  including,  (i) in the case of a
Mortgage  designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise
by judicial  foreclosure.  Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage  Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged  Property  pursuant to the
proper  procedures,  the holder of the  Mortgage  Loan will be able to deliver
good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged  Property.  There is no homestead
or other  exemption  available to a Mortgagor  which would  interfere with the
right to sell the  Mortgaged  Property  at a  trustee's  sale or the  right to
foreclose the Mortgage;

            (v) Conformance with  Underwriting  Guidelines.  The Mortgage Loan
was underwritten in accordance with the Company's  Underwriting  Guidelines in
effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.;

            (w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged  Property is lawfully  occupied under  applicable  law. All
inspections,  licenses  and  certificates  required  to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied  portions of the Mortgaged  Property and, with respect
to  the  use  and  occupancy  of  the  same,  including  but  not  limited  to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting  certificates,  have been made
or obtained from the appropriate authorities. The Mortgagor represented at the
time of origination  of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor  would occupy the
Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor's primary residence;

            (x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the  corresponding  Mortgage
and the  security  interest of any  applicable  security  agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in (j) above;

            (y) Deeds of Trust.  In the event the Mortgage  constitutes a deed
of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage,
and no fees or expenses are or will become  payable by the  Purchasers  to the
trustee under the deed of trust,  except in connection  with a trustee's  sale
after default by the Mortgagor;

            (z)  Acceptable  Investment.  The Company has no  knowledge of any
circumstances  or  conditions  with  respect to the  Mortgage,  the  Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably
be expected to cause  private  institutional  investors to regard the Mortgage
Loan  as an  unacceptable  investment,  cause  the  Mortgage  Loan  to  become
delinquent,  or adversely  affect the value or  marketability  of the Mortgage
Loan;

            (aa)  Delivery of  Mortgage  Documents.  The  Mortgage  Note,  the
Mortgage,  the Assignment of Mortgage and any other  documents  required to be
delivered  for the Mortgage  Loan by the Company  under this  Agreement as set
forth in Exhibit C attached  hereto have been delivered to the Custodian.  The
Company is in  possession  of a complete,  true and accurate  Mortgage File in
compliance  with Exhibit B, except for such  documents  the originals of which
have been delivered to the Custodian;


                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

            (bb)  Condominiums/Planned  Unit  Developments.  If the  Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development  (other than a de
minimus planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project  meets  Company's   Underwriting   Guidelines  with  respect  to  such
condominium or planned unit development;

            (cc) Transfer of Mortgage Loans.  The Assignment of Mortgage is in
recordable  form  and is  acceptable  for  recording  under  the  laws  of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

            (dd) Due on Sale. The Mortgage  contains an enforceable  provision
for the  acceleration  of the payment of the unpaid  principal  balance of the
Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged  Property is sold or transferred
without the prior written consent of the Mortgagor thereunder;

            (ee) No Buydown  Provisions;  No Graduated  Payments or Contingent
Interests.  The Mortgage  Loan does not contain  provisions  pursuant to which
Monthly  Payments  are paid or  partially  paid with  funds  deposited  in any
separate account established by the Company, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf
of the  Mortgagor,  or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it
contain any other similar provisions  currently in effect which may constitute
a "buydown"  provision.  The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage
loan and the  Mortgage  Loan  does not  have a  shared  appreciation  or other
contingent interest feature;

            (ff)  Consolidation of Future  Advances.  Any future advances made
prior to the related Cut-off Date have been  consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as
consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien
of the  Mortgage  securing  the  consolidated  principal  amount is  expressly
insured  as  having  first  lien  priority  by a title  insurance  policy,  an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by
other  title   evidence   acceptable  to  Fannie  Mae  and  Freddie  Mac.  The
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan;

            (gg) Mortgaged Property Undamaged.  There is no proceeding pending
or,  to the  best of the  Company's  knowledge,  threatened  for the  total or
partial  condemnation  of the Mortgaged  Property.  The Mortgaged  Property is
undamaged by waste,  fire,  earthquake or earth  movement,  windstorm,  flood,
tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for the  Mortgage  Loan or the use for which the premises
were intended; and

            (hh)  Collection  Practices;  Escrow  Deposits.  The  origination,
servicing and collection practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have
been in accordance  with Accepted  Servicing  Practices,  and have been in all
respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.  With respect
to  escrow  deposits  and  Escrow  Payments,  all  such  payments  are  in the
possession  of the  Company  and there  exist no  deficiencies  in  connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
made. All Escrow  Payments have been collected in full  compliance  with state
and federal law. An escrow of funds is not  prohibited by  applicable  law and
has been  established  in an amount  sufficient  to pay for every  item  which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  No
escrow  deposits  or Escrow  Payments  or other  charges or  payments  due the
Company have been  capitalized  under the Mortgage or the Mortgage  Note.  All
Mortgage  Interest Rate adjustments  have been made in strict  compliance with
state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and
credited;


                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>

            (ii)  Appraisal.  The Mortgage  File  contains an appraisal of the
related  Mortgage  Property  signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application by a qualified  appraiser,  duly appointed by the Company, who had
no interest,  direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made
on the  security  thereof;  and  whose  compensation  is not  affected  by the
approval or  disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser
both satisfy the  requirements  of Fannie Mae,  Freddie Mac or Title XI of the
Federal  Institutions  Reform,  Recovery,  and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the
regulations promulgated thereunder,  all as in effect on the date the Mortgage
Loan was originated;

            (jj)  Soldiers'  and Sailors'  Relief Act. The  Mortgagor  has not
notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested
or allowed to the Mortgagor  under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act
of 1940;

            (kk)  Environmental  Matters.  The Mortgaged Property is free from
any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any
local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation.  To the best of
the Company's  knowledge,  there is no pending  action or proceeding  directly
involving  any  Mortgaged  Property  of which  the  Company  is aware in which
compliance with any environmental  law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to
the best of the Company's  knowledge,  nothing  further  remains to be done to
satisfy  in  full  all  requirements  of each  such  law,  rule or  regulation
consisting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

            (ll)  No  Construction   Loans.  No  Mortgage  Loan  was  made  in
connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property
or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

            (mm)  Insurance.  The  Company  has  caused  or will  cause  to be
performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of the
Purchaser  in  any  insurance  policies   applicable  to  the  Mortgage  Loans
including,  without  limitation,  any  necessary  notifications  of  insurers,
assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured,
joint loss payee and mortgagee  rights in favor of the  Purchaser;  No action,
inaction,  or event has  occurred  and no state of fact  exists or has existed
that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from,  denial of, or defense
to  coverage  under any  applicable  pool  insurance  policy,  special  hazard
insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond,  irrespective of the cause of
such  failure  of  coverage.  In  connection  with the  placement  of any such
insurance,  no  commission,  fee,  or other  compensation  has been or will be
received by the Company or any designee of the Company or any  corporation  in
which the  Company or any  officer,  director,  or  employee  had a  financial
interest at the time of placement of such insurance;


                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

            (nn) Regarding the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor is one or more natural
persons  and/or  trustees  for an  Illinois  land  trust or a trustee  under a
"living  trust"  and such  "living  trust" is in  compliance  with  Fannie Mae
guidelines for such trusts.

            (oo) Predatory Lending  Regulations;  High Cost Loans. None of the
Mortgage  Loans  are  classified  as (a)  "high  cost"  loans  under  the Home
Ownership and Equity  Protection Act of 1994 or (b) "high cost,"  "threshold,"
or "predatory" loans under any other applicable state, federal or local law.

            (pp) Simple Interest  Mortgage  Loans.  None of the Mortgage Loans
are simple interest Mortgage Loans.

            (qq) Single Premium Credit Life Insurance. None of the proceeds of
the Mortgage Loan were used to finance  single-premium  credit life  insurance
policies.

            (rr) Tax Service Contract The Company has obtained a life of loan,
transferable  real estate Tax Service  Contract on each Mortgage Loan and such
contract is assignable without penalty, premium or cost to the Purchaser;

            (ss) Flood Certification Contract. The Company has obtained a life
of loan,  transferable  flood  certification  contract  with a Approved  Flood
Certification  Provider for each Mortgage Loan and such contract is assignable
without penalty, premium or cost to the Purchaser;

            (tt) FICO Scores. Each Mortgage Loan has a non-zero FICO score;

            (uu) Prepayment Fee. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
prepayment fee feature,  each such  prepayment fee is enforceable  and will be
enforced by the Company,  and each prepayment penalty in permitted pursuant to
federal,  state and local  law.  No  Mortgage  Loan will  impose a  prepayment
penalty  for a term in excess of five years from the date such  Mortgage  Loan
was  originated.  Except as otherwise  set forth in the related  Mortgage Loan
Schedule,  with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment  fee,
such  prepayment fee is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount
permitted  under  applicable  law and (B) six months  interest  at the related
Mortgage  Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan; and

            (vv) Recordation.  Each original Mortgage was recorded and, except
for those  Mortgage  Loans  subject  to the MERS  identification  system,  all
subsequent  assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to
the Purchaser)  have been recorded in the  appropriate  jurisdictions  wherein
such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors
of the Company, or is in the process of being recorded;

            (ww) Leaseholds.  If the Mortgaged Property is subject to a ground
lease or any other  type of  leasehold  interest,  the  ground  lease or other
leasehold interest exceeds the remaining term of the related Mortgage Loan.

            Section   3.03   Remedies  for  Breach  of   Representations   and
Warranties.

            It  is  understood  and  agreed  that  the   representations   and
warranties  set forth in Sections  3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the
Mortgage  Loans  to the  Purchaser  and  the  delivery  of the  Mortgage  Loan
Documents to the  Custodian  and shall inure to the benefit of the  Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified  endorsement on any Mortgage Note
or  Assignment  of  Mortgage  or the  examination  or failure  to examine  any
Mortgage  File.  Upon  discovery  by either the Company or the  Purchaser of a
breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially
and adversely  affects the value of the Mortgage  Loans or the interest of the
Purchaser,  or  which  materially  and  adversely  affects  the  interests  of
Purchaser in the related  Mortgage  Loan in the case of a  representation  and
warranty  relating to a  particular  Mortgage  Loan (in the case of any of the
foregoing,  a "Breach"),  the party  discovering such Breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other.

            With respect to those  representations  and  warranties  which are
made to the  best  of the  Company's  knowledge,  if it is  discovered  by the
Company  or the  Purchaser  that  the  substance  of such  representation  and
warranty is inaccurate and such  inaccuracy  materially and adversely  affects
the value of the related  Mortgage  Loan or the interest of the  Purchaser (or
which  materially  and  adversely  affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the
interests  of the  Purchaser  in the  related  Mortgage  Loan in the case of a
representation   and  warranty  relating  to  a  particular   Mortgage  Loan),
notwithstanding  the Company's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance
of such representation and warranty,  such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach
of the applicable representation and warranty.

            Within 60 days of the earlier of either  discovery by or notice to
the Company of any Breach of a representation  or warranty,  the Company shall
use its best  efforts  promptly to cure such Breach in all  material  respects
and, if such Breach cannot be cured,  the Company  shall,  at the  Purchaser's
option and  subject to Section  3.06,  repurchase  such  Mortgage  Loan at the
Repurchase Price. In the event that a Breach shall involve any  representation
or warranty set forth in Section 3.01,  and such Breach cannot be cured within
60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such
Breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option and subject
to Section  3.06,  be  repurchased  by the  Company at the  Repurchase  Price.
However, if the Breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 3.02 and the Company  discovers or receives  notice of any such Breach
within  120 days of the  related  Closing  Date,  the  Company  shall,  at the
Purchaser's  option and provided  that the Company has a Qualified  Substitute
Mortgage Loan,  rather than  repurchase  the Mortgage Loan as provided  above,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted  Mortgage  Loan") and  substitute in its
place a Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage Loan or Loans,  provided that any such
substitution  shall be  effected  not later  than 120 days  after the  related
Closing Date.  If the Company has no Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage  Loan, it
shall  repurchase  the deficient  Mortgage  Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing  provisions of this Section 3.03 shall
be  accomplished  by  deposit  in the  Custodial  Account of the amount of the
Repurchase   Price  for  distribution  to  Purchaser  on  the  next  scheduled
Remittance Date,  after deducting  therefrom any amount received in respect of
such  repurchased  Mortgage  Loan or Loans  and  being  held in the  Custodial
Account for future distribution.

<PAGE>

            At the time of repurchase or  substitution,  the Purchaser and the
Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Company and the delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian
relating  to the  Deleted  Mortgage  Loan.  In the  event of a  repurchase  or
substitution,  the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment,  give
written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken
place,  amend the related  Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of
the  Deleted  Mortgage  Loan  from  this  Agreement,   and,  in  the  case  of
substitution,  identify a  Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage  Loan and amend the
related  Mortgage  Loan  Schedule  to reflect the  addition of such  Qualified
Substitute  Mortgage  Loan to this  Agreement.  In  connection  with  any such
substitution,  the Company  shall be deemed to have made as to such  Qualified
Substitute  Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement  except that all such  representations  and  warranties set forth in
this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such  substitution.  The
Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such
Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage Loan the  documents  required by Section 2.03,
with the Mortgage Note  endorsed as required by Section 2.03. No  substitution
will be made in any  calendar  month  after  the  Determination  Date for such
month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial  Account the Monthly Payment
less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
in the month  following the date of such  substitution.  Monthly  Payments due
with  respect  to  Qualified   Substitute  Mortgage  Loans  in  the  month  of
substitution shall be retained by the Company.  For the month of substitution,
distributions  to  Purchaser  shall  include  the  Monthly  Payment due on any
Deleted  Mortgage  Loan in the month of  substitution,  and the Company  shall
thereafter  be  entitled to retain all  amounts  subsequently  received by the
Company in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

            For any  month  in  which  the  Company  substitutes  a  Qualified
Substitute  Mortgage  Loan for a Deleted  Mortgage  Loan,  the  Company  shall
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate  principal balance of all
Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage Loans as of the date of  substitution  is less
than the aggregate  Stated  Principal  Balance of all Deleted  Mortgage  Loans
(after  application  of  scheduled  principal  payments  due in the  month  of
substitution)  . The  amount of such  shortfall  shall be  distributed  by the
Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on
the date of such  substitution,  the Company  shall deposit from its own funds
into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.

            Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out
of the Breach of any  representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and
3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such Breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser,  (ii) failure
by the  Company  to cure  such  Breach or  repurchase  such  Mortgage  Loan as
specified  above,  and (iii)  demand  upon the  Company by the  Purchaser  for
compliance with this Agreement.

            Section 3.04 Indemnification.

            The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless
from and  against  any and all  claims,  losses,  damages,  penalties,  fines,
forfeitures,  legal fees and related  costs,  judgments,  and any other costs,
fees and  expenses  that the  Purchaser  may  sustain in any way  related  any
assertion  based  on,  grounded  upon  resulting  from a Breach  of any of the
Company's  representations and warranties contained herein. In addition to the
obligations  of the Company set forth in this Section 3.04,  the Purchaser may
pursue  any  and  all  remedies  otherwise  available  at  law  or in  equity,
including,  but not limited to, the right to seek damages.  The  provisions of
this Section 3.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement.


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>

            It is understood  and agreed that the  obligations  of the Company
set forth in Sections  3.03 and 3.04 to cure,  substitute  for or repurchase a
defective  Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the  Purchaser  constitute  the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a Breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.

            Section 3.05 Repurchase Upon Conversion.

            In the event the  Mortgagor  under any  Convertible  Mortgage Loan
elects to  convert  said  Mortgage  Loan to a fixed  rate  mortgage  loan,  as
provided in the related  Mortgage Note, then the Company shall  repurchase the
related  Mortgage  Loan in the month  the  conversion  takes  place and in the
manner prescribed in Section 3.04 at the Repurchase Price.

            Section 3.06 Restrictions and Requirements Applicable in the Event
                         that a Mortgage Loan is Acquired by a REMIC

            In  the  event  that  any  Mortgage  Loan  is  held  by  a  REMIC,
notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision  of this  Agreement,  the  following
provisions shall be applicable to such Mortgage Loan:

            (A) Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.

            With respect to any Mortgage  Loan that is not in default or as to
which no default is  imminent,  no  repurchase  or  substitution  pursuant  to
Subsection 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 7.02 shall be made,  unless,  if so required by
the applicable  REMIC Documents the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such  repurchase  will not (i) result in the  imposition of
taxes on "prohibited  transactions"  of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F
of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

            (B) General Servicing Obligations.

            The Company shall sell any REO Property within two years after its
acquisition  by the REMIC  unless (i) the Company  applies for an extension of
such two-year period from the Internal  Revenue Service  pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions and Code Section 856(e) (3), in which event such REO Property shall
be sold within the applicable  extension  period,  or (ii) the Company obtains
for the  Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel,  addressed to the  Purchaser and the
Company,  to the effect  that the  holding  by the REMIC of such REO  Property
subsequent to such two year period will not result in the  imposition of taxes
on "prohibited  transactions"  as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
the  REMIC  to fail to  qualify  as a REMIC  under  the  REMIC  Provisions  or
comparable  provisions of relevant  state laws at any time.  The Company shall
manage,  conserve,  protect and operate each REO  Property  for the  Purchaser
solely for the purpose of its prompt  disposition  and sale in a manner  which
does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure  property"
within  the  meaning of Section  860G(a)  (8) or result in the  receipt by the
REMIC of any "income from non-permitted  assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)  (2) (B) of the Code or any "net  income  from  foreclosure  property"
which is subject to taxation under Section  860G(a) (1) of the Code.  Pursuant
to its efforts to sell such REO  Property,  the Company shall either itself or
through  an agent  selected  by the  Company  protect  and  conserve  such REO
Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality
where such REO Property is located and may,  incident to its  conservation and
protection  of the  interests  of the  Purchaser,  rent the same,  or any part
thereof,  as the Company  deems to be in the best  interest of the Company and
the Purchaser for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided,
however,  that any rent  received or accrued with respect to such REO Property
qualifies as "rents from real  property"  as defined in Section  856(d) of the
Code.

            (C) Additional Covenants.

            In addition to the  provision set forth in this Section 3.06, if a
REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement  under which any of the
Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are held, then, with respect to such Mortgage
Loans and/or REO Properties,  and notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement,
the Company  shall not take any action,  cause the 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the  imposition of a tax upon
the REMIC  (including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited  transactions"
as defined in Section  860F(a) (2) of the Code and the tax on  "contributions"
to a REMIC set forth in Section  860G(d) of the Code)  unless the  Company has
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
REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

            If a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement  under
which any Mortgage  Loans or REO  Properties are held, the Company shall amend
this Agreement such that it will meet all Rating Agency requirements.

            Section 3.07 Review of Mortgage Loans

            From the  related  Closing  Date  until the date 15 days after the
related  Closing  Date,  the  Purchaser  shall  have the right to  review  the
Mortgage Files and obtain BPOs and other property evaluations on the Mortgaged
Properties  relating to the Mortgage  Loans  purchased on the related  Closing
Date,  with the  results  of such BPO or  property  evaluation  reviews  to be
communicated  to the  Company  for a period up to 15 days  after  the  related
Closing  Date. In addition,  the Purchaser  shall have the right to reject any
Mortgage Loan which in the Purchaser's sole determination (i) fails to conform
to the  Underwriting  Guidelines,  (ii) the  value of the  Mortgaged  Property
pursuant to any BPO or property  evaluation  varies by more than plus or minus
15%  from the  lesser  of (A) the  original  appraised  value of the  Mortgage
Property or (B) the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of
origination (a "Value Issue"), (iii) the Mortgage Loan is underwritten without
verification of the Borrower's income and assets and there is no credit report
and credit score or (iv) the  Purchaser  deems the Mortgage  Loan not to be an
acceptable  credit risk. The Company shall  repurchase  the rejected  Mortgage
Loan in the manner  prescribed in Section 3.03 upon receipt of notice from the
Purchaser of the rejection of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that, in the event
that the Purchaser  rejects a Mortgage Loan due to a Value Issue,  the Company
may submit to the Purchaser an additional  property evaluation for purposes of
demonstrating  that the  Mortgage  Loan  does not have a Value  Issue.  If the
Purchaser and the Company fail to resolve such Value Issue within two weeks of
the Purchaser  presenting such Value Issue to the Company,  then Company shall
have the right to promptly (a) substitute  such Mortgage Loan with a Qualified
Substitute  Mortgage Loan meeting all the terms hereof, or (b) repurchase such
Mortgage Loan in the manner  prescribed in Section 3.03. Any rejected Mortgage
Loan shall be removed from the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall make
available  all files  required by  Purchaser  in order to complete its review,
including capturing all CRA/HMDA required data fields. Any review performed by
the Purchaser prior to the related Closing Date does not limit the Purchaser's
rights or the Company's obligations under this section. To the extent that the
Purchaser's  review  discloses  that the Mortgage  Loans do not conform to the
Underwriting  Guidelines  or the terms set  forth in the  Purchaser  Price and
Terms  Letter,  the  Purchaser  may in its sole  discretion  increase  its due
diligence review and obtain  additional  BPO's or other property  evaluations.
The  additional  review may be for any  reason  including  but not  limited to
credit quality, property valuations, and data integrity.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

            Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

            The Company shall service and  administer  the Mortgage  Loans and
shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and  administration  which the Company may deem
necessary or desirable,  consistent  with the terms of this Agreement and with
Accepted Servicing Practices.

            Consistent  with the  terms of this  Agreement,  the  Company  may
waive,  modify  or vary  any  term of any  Mortgage  Loan  or  consent  to the
postponement  of strict  compliance  with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence  to  any  Mortgagor  if in the  Company's  reasonable  and  prudent
determination  such waiver,  modification,  postponement  or indulgence is not
materially  adverse to the  Purchasers,  provided,  however,  that the Company
shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless
the  Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default
is, in the judgment of the Company,  imminent and the Company has obtained the
prior  written  consent of the  Purchaser)  the  Company  shall not permit any
modification  of  any  material  term  of  any  Mortgage  Loan  including  any
modifications  that would change the Mortgage  Interest Rate change the Index,
Lifetime  Mortgage  Interest Rate Cap, Initial Rate Cap or Gross Margin of any
Mortgage Loan,  defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest,  reduce
or increase the outstanding  principal  balance (except for actual payments of
principal) or change the final  maturity  date on such  Mortgage  Loan. In the
event of any such  modification  which  permits  the  deferral  of interest or
principal  payments on any Mortgage Loan,  the Company shall,  on the Business
Day  immediately  preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such
principal  or interest  payment has been  deferred,  deposit in the  Custodial
Account from its own funds,  in accordance  with Section 5.03,  the difference
between (a) such month's  principal  and one month's  interest at the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and
(b) the  amount  paid by the  Mortgagor.  The  Company  shall be  entitled  to
reimbursement  for such advances to the same extent as for all other  advances
made  pursuant  to  Section  5.03.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered,
to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchasers, all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation,  or of partial or full release, discharge and
all other comparable instruments,  with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged  Properties.  If reasonably  required by the Company,
the Purchaser  shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other
documents  necessary  or  appropriate  to enable the  Company to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.


                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>

            In servicing and  administering  the Mortgage  Loans,  the Company
shall employ  procedures  (including  collection  procedures) and exercise the
same  care  that  it  customarily  employs  and  exercises  in  servicing  and
administering mortgage loans for its own account,  giving due consideration to
Accepted  Servicing  Practices  where such  practices do not conflict with the
requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser's reliance on the Company.

            The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by the Subservicer on behalf
of the Company provided that the Subservicer is a Fannie  Mae-approved  lender
or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing,  and no event has occurred,
including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,  which would make
it unable to comply with the eligibility  requirements  for lenders imposed by
Fannie Mae or for  seller/servicers  imposed by Freddie  Mac,  or which  would
require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Company may perform any
of its servicing  responsibilities  hereunder or may cause the  Subservicer to
perform any such servicing  responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the
Company of the  Subservicer  shall not  release  the  Company  from any of its
obligations  hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible  hereunder for
all acts  and  omissions  of the  Subservicer  as  fully  as if such  acts and
omissions  were  those of the  Company.  The  Company  shall  pay all fees and
expenses of the  Subservicer  from its own funds,  and the  Subservicer's  fee
shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

            At the cost and  expense  of the  Company,  without  any  right of
reimbursement  from the  Custodial  Account,  the Company shall be entitled to
terminate the rights and  responsibilities  of the Subservicer and arrange for
any  servicing  responsibilities  to be performed  by a successor  Subservicer
meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph,  provided,  however, that
nothing  contained  herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company,
at the Company's  option,  from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans
itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement  are  terminated  pursuant to Section 9.04,  10.01 or 11.02,  and if
requested  to do so by the  Purchaser,  the Company  shall at its own cost and
expense terminate the rights and  responsibilities  of the Subservicer as soon
as is  reasonably  possible.  The  Company  shall  pay all fees,  expenses  or
penalties  necessary in order to terminate the rights and  responsibilities of
the Subservicer  from the Company's own funds without  reimbursement  from the
Purchaser.

            Notwithstanding  any of the provisions of this Agreement  relating
to agreements or  arrangements  between the Company and the Subservicer or any
reference  herein to actions taken through the  Subservicer or otherwise,  the
Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and  conditions as if it
alone were servicing and  administering  the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall
be   entitled  to  enter  into  an   agreement   with  the   Subservicer   for
indemnification  of the Company by the  Subservicer  and nothing  contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.


                                     - 33 -
<PAGE>

            Any Subservicing  Agreement and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be
between the  Subservicer  and Company alone,  and the Purchaser  shall have no
obligations,  duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer  including
no obligation,  duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the  Subservicer's  fees
and  expenses.  For  purposes  of  distributions  and  advances by the Company
pursuant to this  Agreement,  the Company  shall be deemed to have  received a
payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

            Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

            In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage  Loan and not
postponed  pursuant to Section  4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable,  or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation  under the  Mortgage  Loan and such  failure  continues  beyond any
applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company
would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan
held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted
Servicing  Practices,  (3) the Company shall determine  prudently to be in the
best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy.
In the event that any payment  due under any  Mortgage  Loan is not  postponed
pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any
other default  continues for a period of 90 days beyond the  expiration of any
grace or cure period,  the Company  shall  commence  foreclosure  proceedings,
provided that, prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings,  the Company shall
notify the Purchaser in writing of the  Company's  intention to do so, and the
Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to
such action within 10 Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the
Purchaser  objects  to such  foreclosure  action,  the  Company  shall  not be
required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant
to Section 5.03,  and the Company's  obligation to make such Monthly  Advances
shall  terminate on the 90th day referred to above.  In such  connection,  the
Company  shall from its own funds  make all  necessary  and  proper  Servicing
Advances,  provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or
preservation  of any Mortgaged  Property,  unless it shall  determine (a) that
such  preservation,  restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds
of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself
for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be  recoverable by it either
through  Liquidation  Proceeds  (respecting  which it shall have  priority for
purposes of withdrawals  from the Custodial  Account pursuant to Section 4.05)
or  through  Insurance  Proceeds  (respecting  which  it  shall  have  similar
priority) .

            Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained  herein,  in
connection  with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
in the event the  Company  has  reasonable  cause to believe  that a Mortgaged
Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the
Purchaser  otherwise  requests an  environmental  inspection or review of such
Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified  inspector.  Upon completion
of the  inspection,  the Company shall  promptly  provide the Purchaser with a
written report of the environmental inspection.


                                     - 34 -
<PAGE>

            After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser
shall  determine  how the Company  shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. In the event (a) the environmental  inspection report indicates that
the Mortgaged  Property is  contaminated  by hazardous or toxic  substances or
wastes and (b) the Purchaser  directs the Company to proceed with  foreclosure
or  acceptance  of a deed  in  lieu  of  foreclosure,  the  Company  shall  be
reimbursed for all costs  associated with such  foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related  environmental  clean up costs, as
applicable,  from the  related  Liquidation  Proceeds,  or if the  Liquidation
Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be
entitled to be reimbursed  from amounts in the Custodial  Account  pursuant to
Section 4.05  hereof.  In the event the  Purchaser  directs the Company not to
proceed with  foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,  the
Company  shall be reimbursed  for all Servicing  Advances made with respect to
the related Mortgaged  Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.05 hereof.

            Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

            Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest
on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full,  the Company shall proceed  diligently
to collect all  payments  due under each of the  Mortgage  Loans when the same
shall become due and payable and shall take special care in  ascertaining  and
estimating  Escrow  Payments  and all other  charges  that will become due and
payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged  Property,  to the
end that the installments  payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay
such charges as and when they become due and payable.

            Section 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

            The  Company  shall  segregate  and hold all funds  collected  and
received  pursuant to a Mortgage  Loan  separate and apart from any of its own
funds  and  general  assets  and  shall  establish  and  maintain  one or more
Custodial  Accounts,  in the form of time deposit or demand  accounts,  titled
"Countrywide  Home  Loans,  Inc.  in trust for EMC  Mortgage  Corporation,  as
purchaser  of   Residential   Adjustable   Rate  Mortgage  Loans  and  various
Mortgagors".  The  Custodial  Account  shall be  established  with a Qualified
Depository  acceptable to the Purchaser.  Any funds deposited in the Custodial
Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under
applicable  law. Funds  deposited in the Custodial  Account may be drawn on by
the Company in  accordance  with Section  4.05.  The creation of any Custodial
Account  shall be  evidenced  by a  certification  in the form of Exhibit  D-1
hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter
agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by
a depository  other than the Company.  A copy of such  certification or letter
agreement  shall be furnished  to the  Purchaser  and,  upon  request,  to any
subsequent Purchaser.

            The Company  shall  deposit in the  Custodial  Account  within two
Business  Days of  receipt,  and retain  therein,  the  following  collections
received  by the Company and  payments  made by the Company  after the related
Cut-off Date,  (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before
the related  Cut-off  Date,  or  received by the Company  prior to the related
Cut-off Date but allocable to a period  subsequent  thereto or with respect to
each LPMI Loan, in the amount of the LPMI Fee) :

            (viii) with  respect to each  Principal  Prepayment  in full or in
      part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of

      without  reimbursement  therefor up to a maximum amount per month of the
      Servicing Fee actually received for such month for the Mortgage Loans;

            (ix) any amounts  required to be deposited by the Company pursuant
      to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible  clause in any blanket

      Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

            The foregoing  requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account
shall be exclusive,  it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the  foregoing,  payments in the nature of late payment  charges
and  assumption  fees, to the extent  permitted by Section  6.01,  need not be
deposited  by the Company into the  Custodial  Account.  Any interest  paid on
funds deposited in the Custodial  Account by the depository  institution shall
accrue to the  benefit of the  Company  and the  Company  shall be entitled to

      where the Company is required to  repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
      Section 3.03,  3.05,  3.07 or 6.02, in which case the Company's right to

each Remittance  Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial

            Section 4.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

            The  Company  shall  segregate  and hold all funds  collected  and

maintain  one or more Escrow  Accounts,  in the form of time deposit or demand
accounts, titled, "Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in trust for the EMC Mortgage
Corporation,  as purchaser of Residential  Adjustable  Rate Mortgage Loans and
various Mortgagors". The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified
Depository,  in a manner  which  shall  provide  maximum  available  insurance

To the extent  required  by law,  the Company  shall pay  interest on escrowed
funds  to  the  Mortgagor  notwithstanding  that  the  Escrow  Account  may be
non-interest  bearing or that interest paid thereon is  insufficient  for such
purposes.

      for the related Mortgage;

            (ii) to reimburse the Company for any  Servicing  Advances made by
      the Company  pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage
      Loan, but only from amounts  received on the related Mortgage Loan which
      represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

            (iii) to refund to any  Mortgagor  any funds found to be in excess
      of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

            (iv) for  transfer to the  Custodial  Account and  application  to
      reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
      terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

            (v) for  application  to  restoration  or repair of the  Mortgaged
      Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;

            (vi)  to pay to  the  Company,  or  any  Mortgagor  to the  extent

            With respect to each Mortgage  Loan,  the Company  shall  maintain
accurate records  reflecting the status of ground rents,  taxes,  assessments,
water rates,  sewer rents,  and other  charges  which are or may become a lien
upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and
hazard insurance  coverage and shall obtain,  from time to time, all bills for
the payment of such  charges  (including  renewal  premiums)  and shall effect
payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing
for such purpose  deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow  Account which shall
have been estimated and  accumulated by the Company in amounts  sufficient for
such purposes,  as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that
a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow  Payments,  the Company shall determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become
due. The Company  assumes full  responsibility  for the timely  payment of all
such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of
each Mortgagor's  faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of
the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to
effect such payments.

            Section 4.09 Protection of Accounts.

            The  Company  may  transfer  the  Custodial  Account or the Escrow
Account to a different  Qualified  Depository from time to time. Upon any such
transfer,  the Company shall promptly  notify the Purchaser and deliver to the
Purchaser a Custodial  Account  Certification or Escrow Account  Certification
(as applicable) in the form of Exhibit D-1 or E-1 to this agreement.


                                     - 39 -

            The Company shall bear any expenses,  losses or damages  sustained
by the Purchaser  because the Custodial  Account and/or the Escrow Account are
not demand deposit accounts.

            Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account
may at the option of the Company be invested in Eligible Investments; provided
that in the event that  amounts on  deposit  in the  Custodial  Account or the
Escrow  Account  exceed the  amount  fully  insured by the FDIC (the  "Insured
Amount") the Company  shall be obligated to invest the excess  amount over the
Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess
amount becomes  present in the Custodial  Account or the Escrow  Account.  Any
such Eligible  Investment  shall mature no later than the  Determination  Date
next following the date of such Eligible Investment,  provided,  however, that
if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified  Depository (other
than the Company) that maintains the Custodial  Account or the Escrow Account,
then such Eligible  Investment  may mature on such  Remittance  Date. Any such
Eligible  Investment shall be made in the name of the Company in trust for the
benefit  of the  Purchaser.  All  income  on or gain  realized  from  any such
Eligible  Investment  shall  be for  the  benefit  of the  Company  and may be
withdrawn  at any time by the Company.  Any losses  incurred in respect of any
such  investment  shall be  deposited in the  Custodial  Account or the Escrow
Account, by the Company out of its own funds immediately as realized.

            Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

            The Company  shall cause to be  maintained  for each Mortgage Loan
hazard  insurance  such that all  buildings  upon the  Mortgaged  Property are
insured by a generally  acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current
Best's Key Rating Guide ("Best's")  against loss by fire,  hazards of extended
coverage  and such  other  hazards  as are  customary  in the area  where  the
Mortgaged  Property  is located,  in an amount  which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements securing such Mortgage
Loan and (ii) the  greater  of (a) the  outstanding  principal  balance of the
Mortgage  Loan and (b) an  amount  such  that the  proceeds  thereof  shall be
sufficient  to  prevent  the  Mortgagor  or the loss  payee  from  becoming  a
co-insurer.

            If a Mortgaged  Property is located in an area  identified  in the
Federal  Register by the Flood Emergency  Management  Agency as having special
flood  hazards  (and such flood  insurance  has been made  available)  a flood
insurance  policy meeting the  requirements  of the current  guidelines of the
Federal  Insurance  Administration  is in effect with a  generally  acceptable
insurance  carrier  rated  A:VI or better in Best's in an amount  representing
coverage  equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum  amount  required,  under the
terms of coverage,  to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if  replacement  cost coverage is
not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of
insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of 1973,
as amended.  If at any time during the term of the Mortgage  Loan, the Company
determines in accordance  with  applicable  law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae
Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and
is not  covered by flood  insurance  or is covered in an amount  less than the
amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,  the
Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such
flood insurance  coverage,  and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required
flood insurance  coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification,
the Company shall  immediately force place the required flood insurance on the
Mortgagor's behalf.

            If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium  project,  the
Company  shall verify that the coverage  required of the owner's  association,
including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained
in accordance with then current Fannie Mae  requirements,  and secure from the
owner's association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change
in the  insurance  coverage or of any  condemnation  or casualty loss that may
have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

            The  Company  shall  cause  to be  maintained  on  each  Mortgaged
Property  earthquake or such other or additional  insurance as may be required
pursuant to such  applicable  laws and  regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall  require  such  additional  insurance,  or  pursuant to the
requirements of any private mortgage guaranty  insurer,  or as may be required
to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

            In the event that any  Purchaser  or the Company  shall  determine
that the  Mortgaged  Property  should  be  insured  against  loss or damage by
hazards and risks not covered by the  insurance  required to be  maintained by
the  Mortgagor  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Mortgage,  the  Company  shall
communicate  and consult with the Mortgagor  with respect to the need for such
insurance  and  bring  to  the  Mortgagor's   attention  the  desirability  of
protection of the Mortgaged Property.

            All  policies  required  hereunder  shall name the Company as loss
payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses,  without
contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of
any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

            The Company shall not interfere  with the  Mortgagor's  freedom of
choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided,  however,
that the Company shall not accept any such  insurance  policies from insurance
companies  unless  such  companies  are rated A:VI or better in Best's and are
licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located.  The Company shall  determine that such policies  provide  sufficient
risk coverage and amounts,  that they insure the property owner, and that they
properly  describe  the property  address.  The Company  shall  furnish to the
Mortgagor a formal notice of  expiration  of any such  insurance in sufficient
time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.

            Pursuant to Section  4.04,  any amounts  collected  by the Company
under any such  policies  (other than  amounts to be  deposited  in the Escrow
Account and  applied to the  restoration  or repair of the  related  Mortgaged
Property,  or property  acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be
released to the Mortgagor,  in accordance with the Company's  normal servicing
procedures  as specified in Section  4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

            Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

            In the event that the Company  shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy  insuring  against losses  arising from fire and hazards  covered under
extended  coverage  on all of the  Mortgage  Loans,  then,  to the extent such
policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to
Section 4.10 and  otherwise  complies with all other  requirements  of Section
4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set
forth in Section  4.10.  Any amounts  collected by the Company  under any such
policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account
subject to  withdrawal  pursuant  to Section  4.05.  Such policy may contain a
deductible  clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related  Mortgaged  Property a policy complying with Section
4.10,  and there shall have been a loss which would have been  covered by such
policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such
loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Company's funds,  without
reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause
to be delivered to such  Purchaser a certified  true copy of such policy and a
statement  from the insurer  thereunder  that such policy shall in no event be
terminated or  materially  modified  without 30 days' prior written  notice to
such Purchaser.

            Section 4.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
                         Insurance.

            The Company shall maintain with responsible companies,  at its own
expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
with broad coverage on all officers,  employees or other persons acting in any
capacity  requiring such persons to handle funds,  money,  documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Company  Employees").  Any such Fidelity Bond
and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage
Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses,
including  forgery,  theft,  embezzlement,  fraud,  errors and  omissions  and
negligent  acts of such Company  Employees.  Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions  Insurance  Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against
losses in  connection  with the  release or  satisfaction  of a Mortgage  Loan
without having obtained payment in full of the  indebtedness  secured thereby.
No provision of this Section 4.12  requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions  Insurance  Policy  shall  diminish or relieve the Company  from its
duties and  obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  The minimum  coverage
under any such bond and insurance  policy shall be acceptable to Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser,  the Company shall cause to be
delivered to such  Purchaser a certified  true copy of such  fidelity bond and
insurance  policy and a statement  from the surety and the  insurer  that such
fidelity  bond  and  insurance  policy  shall in no  event  be  terminated  or
materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

            Section 4.13 Inspections.

            The  Company  shall  inspect  the  Mortgaged  Property as often as
deemed  necessary  by the  Company  to  assure  itself  that the  value of the
Mortgaged  Property is being preserved.  In addition,  if any Mortgage Loan is
more than 60 days  delinquent,  the  Company  immediately  shall  inspect  the
Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with
Accepted  Servicing  Practices  or as may be required by the primary  mortgage
guaranty  insurer.  The  Company  shall  keep a  written  report  of each such
inspection.

            Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

            The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation  Proceeds to the Mortgagor to
be applied to the  restoration  or repair of the  Mortgaged  Property  if such
release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  At a minimum, the
Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such
release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

            (i)   the   Company   shall   receive   satisfactory   independent
      verification  of  completion  of repairs and  issuance  of any  required
      approvals with respect thereto;

            (ii) the Company  shall take all steps  necessary  to preserve the
      priority  of the lien of the  Mortgage,  including,  but not  limited to
      requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;

            (iii) the Company  shall verify that the  Mortgage  Loan is not in
      default; and

            (iv) pending repairs or  restoration,  the Company shall place the
      Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.

            If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company
is hereby  empowered  to endorse  any loss  draft  issued in respect of such a
claim in the name of the Purchaser.

            Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI and LPMI Policy; Claims.

            (a) With  respect  to each  Mortgage  Loan with a LTV in excess of
95%, the Company shall:

            (i) with  respect to Mortgage  Loans which are not LPMI Loans,  in
accordance  with state and federal laws and without any cost to the Purchaser,
maintain  or cause the  Mortgagor  to  maintain in full force and effect a PMI
Policy with a minimum of 35%  coverage  insuring  that portion of the Mortgage
Loan in  excess of 68% (or such  other  percentage  as  stated in the  related
Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor
to pay the premium  thereon on a timely basis,  until the LTV of such Mortgage
Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated,
the  Company  shall  obtain  from  another   Qualified  Insurer  a  comparable
replacement  policy,  with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of
such  terminated  PMI  Policy,  at  substantially  the same fee level.  If the
insurer shall cease to be a Qualified  Insurer,  the Company  shall  determine
whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to
the financial  condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company
shall in no event have any  responsibility  or  liability  for any  failure to
recover under the PMI Policy for such reason.  If the Company  determines that
recoveries  are  so  jeopardized,  it  shall  notify  the  Purchaser  and  the
Mortgagor,   if  required,   and  obtain  from  another  Qualified  Insurer  a
replacement  insurance  policy.  The Company  shall not take any action  which
would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which,
but for the  actions of the Company  would have been  covered  thereunder.  In
connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be
entered into pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall  promptly  notify the
insurer  under  the  related  PMI  Policy,  if  any,  of  such  assumption  or
substitution  of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and
shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to
the  continuation  of coverage  under such PMI  Policy.  If such PMI Policy is
terminated as a result of such assumption or  substitution  of liability,  the
Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

<PAGE>

            (ii) with respect to LPMI Loans, maintain in full force and effect
an LPMI Policy  insuring  that portion of the Mortgage  Loan with a minimum of
35% coverage  insuring  that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or
such other  percentage as stated in the related  Acknowledgment  Agreement) of
value, and from time to time,  withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such LPMI
Loan from the  Custodial  Account  in order to pay the  premium  thereon  on a
timely  basis,  until the LTV of such  Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the
event that the interest  payments  made with respect to any LPMI Loan are less
than the LPMI Fee, the Company  shall advance from its own funds the amount of
any such  shortfall  in the LPMI Fee, in payment of the premium on the related
LPMI  Policy.  Any  such  advance  shall be a  Servicing  Advance  subject  to
reimbursement  pursuant to the  provisions  on Section 2.05. In the event that
such LPMI Policy shall be  terminated,  the Company  shall obtain from another
Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal
to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the
same fee level.  If the insurer  shall cease to be a  Qualified  Insurer,  the
Company  shall  determine  whether   recoveries  under  the  LPMI  Policy  are
jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it
being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or
liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason. If
the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the
Purchaser and the Mortgagor,  if required,  and obtain from another  Qualified
Insurer a replacement  insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action
which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered  thereunder.
In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to
be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01,  the Company shall  promptly  notify
the insurer  under the related  LPMI  Policy,  if any, of such  assumption  or
substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and
shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to
the  continuation  of coverage  under such PMI Policy.  If such LPMI Policy is
terminated as a result of such assumption or  substitution  of liability,  the
Company shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

            (b) In connection  with its  activities  as servicer,  the Company
agrees to prepare and present,  on behalf of itself and the Purchaser,  claims
to the  insurer  under any PMI  Policy or LPMI  Policy in a timely  fashion in
accordance  with the terms of such PMI  Policy  or LPMI  Policy  and,  in this
regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any
PMI Policy or LPMI Policy  respecting a defaulted  Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to
Section  4.04,  any amounts  collected by the Company  under any PMI Policy or
LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 4.05.

            (c) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either
obtain an  additional  PMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has a PMI
Policy in place,  or (ii) obtain a PMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does
not already have a PMI Policy in place.  In any event,  the Company  agrees to
administer  such  PMI  Policies  in  accordance  with  the  Agreement  or  any
Reconstitution Agreement.

            Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

            In the event that title to any  Mortgaged  Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser,  or in the event the Purchaser is
not  authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where
the REO Property is located,  or would be adversely  affected under the "doing
business"  or tax  laws  of  such  state  by so  holding  title,  the  deed or
certificate  of sale  shall be taken in the name of such  Person or Persons as
shall be  consistent  with an Opinion of Counsel  obtained by the Company from
any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property
is located.  The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser
shall  acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the
Purchaser.

            The Company shall manage,  conserve,  protect and operate each REO
Property for the  Purchaser  solely for the purpose of its prompt  disposition
and sale.  The  Company,  either  itself or through an agent  selected  by the
Company, shall manage,  conserve,  protect and operate the REO Property in the
same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed
property for its own account,  and in the same manner that similar property in
the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to
sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than
one year, except as otherwise  provided below) on such terms and conditions as
the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

            The  Company  shall use its best  efforts  to  dispose  of the REO
Property  as soon as  possible  and shall sell such REO  Property in any event
within one year after  title has been taken to such REO  Property,  unless (i)
(A) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the  arrangement  under
which the Mortgage  Loans and the REO Property are held,  and (ii) the Company
determines,  and gives an appropriate  notice to the Purchaser to such effect,
that a longer  period is  necessary  for the orderly  liquidation  of such REO
Property.  If a period  longer than one year is permitted  under the foregoing
sentence and is  necessary  to sell any REO Property the Company  shall report
monthly to the  Purchaser  as to the  progress  being made in selling such REO
Property.

            The  Company  shall also  maintain on each REO  Property  fire and
hazard  insurance with extended  coverage in amount which is at least equal to
the  maximum  insurable  value of the  improvements  which  are a part of such
property,  liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,  flood insurance in the
amount required above.

            The  disposition  of REO  Property  shall  be  carried  out by the
Company at such  price,  and upon such terms and  conditions,  as the  Company
deems to be in the best  interests of the  Purchaser.  The proceeds of sale of
the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon
as  practical  thereafter  the  expenses  of such  sale  shall be paid and the
Company  shall  reimburse  itself  for  any  related  unreimbursed   Servicing
Advances,  unpaid  Servicing Fees and  unreimbursed  advances made pursuant to
Section 5.03, and on the Remittance Date  immediately  following the Principal
Prepayment  Period  in which  such sale  proceeds  are  received  the net cash
proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial  Account shall be distributed
to the Purchaser.


                                     - 45 -
<PAGE>

            The Company shall withdraw the Custodial  Account funds  necessary
for the proper  operation,  management  and  maintenance  of the REO Property,
including the cost of  maintaining  any hazard  insurance  pursuant to Section
4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, a Subservicer,  or the
Company  itself.  The REO management fee shall be an amount that is reasonable
and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company
shall make monthly  distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchasers of
the net cash flow from the REO Property  (which shall equal the revenues  from
such REO Property  net of the  expenses  described in this Section 4.16 and of
any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy
anticipated liabilities for such expenses) .

            Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

            Together  with the statement  furnished  pursuant to Section 5.02,
the Company shall furnish to the  Purchaser on or before the  Remittance  Date
each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation
of such REO  Property  for the  previous  month and the  Company's  efforts in
connection  with the  sale of such REO  Property  and any  rental  of such REO
Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement
shall  be  accompanied  by  such  other  information  as the  Purchaser  shall
reasonably request.

            Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

            Upon  the  foreclosure  sale  of  any  Mortgaged  Property  or the
acquisition   thereof  by  the  Purchaser  pursuant  to  a  deed  in  lieu  of
foreclosure,  the Company shall submit to the  Purchaser a liquidation  report
with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

            Section 4.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged
                         Property.

            Following the  foreclosure  sale or  abandonment  of any Mortgaged
Property, the Company shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required
pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code.

            Section 4.20 Notification of Adjustments.

            With respect to each Mortgage  Loan,  the Company shall adjust the
Mortgage  Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date and shall
adjust  the  Monthly  Payment  on  the  related  Payment  Adjustment  Date  in
compliance with the  requirements  of applicable law and the related  Mortgage
and Mortgage  Note. If,  pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage  Note,  another
index is selected for determining  the Mortgage  Interest Rate, the same index
will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which  requires a new index to
be selected,  provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of
the related  Mortgage  Note. The Company shall execute and deliver any and all
necessary  notices  required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage  Note and  Mortgage  regarding  the  Mortgage  Interest  Rate and the
Monthly Payment  adjustments.  The Company shall promptly upon written request
thereof,  deliver  to the  Purchaser  such  notifications  and any  additional
applicable  data regarding such  adjustments and the methods used to calculate
and implement  such  adjustments.  Upon the  discovery by the Company,  or the
Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage  Interest Rate or a
Monthly  Payment  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  related  Mortgage  Note and
Mortgage,  the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from
its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby.

                              PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER

            Section 5.01 Remittances.

            On each  Remittance  Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer
of immediately  available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts  deposited in
the Custodial  Account as of the close of business on the  Determination  Date
(net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial  Account pursuant to
Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to
distribute  pursuant to Section 5.03,  minus (c) any amounts  attributable  to
Principal  Prepayments  received  after the  applicable  Principal  Prepayment
Period  which  amounts  shall be remitted on the  following  Remittance  Date,
together  with  any  additional  interest  required  to be  deposited  in  the
Custodial  Account in connection with such Principal  Prepayment in accordance
with Section  4.04(viii),  and minus (d) any amounts  attributable  to Monthly
Payments  collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day
of the month of the  Remittance  Date,  which amounts shall be remitted on the
Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

            With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the
second  Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due,
the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an
annual rate equal to the Prime Rate,  adjusted as of the date of each  change,
plus three percentage  points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account by the  Company on the date such late  payment is made and shall cover
the period  commencing  with the day  following  such second  Business Day and
ending with the Business Day on which such  payment is made,  both  inclusive.
Such interest  shall be remitted  along with the  distribution  payable on the
next  succeeding  Remittance  Date.  The  payment  by the  Company of any such
interest  shall not be deemed an  extension of time for payment or a waiver of
any Event of Default by the Company.

            Section 5.02 Statements to Purchaser.

            Not later than the 10th day of each  calendar  month,  the Company
shall  furnish to the  Purchaser  a Monthly  Remittance  Advice,  with a trial
balance  report  attached  thereto,  in the form of  Exhibit F annexed  hereto
electronic  medium  mutually  acceptable  to the  parties as to the  preceding
calendar month and the Due Period in the month of remittance

            In addition,  not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar
year, the Company shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time
during  such  calendar  year  an  annual  statement  in  accordance  with  the
requirements  of  applicable  federal  income tax law as to the  aggregate  of
remittances for the applicable  portion of such year.  Nothing in this Section
5.02 shall be deemed to require the Company to prepare any federal  income tax
return on Internal  Revenue  Service  Form 1066,  U.S.  Real  Estate  Mortgage
Investment Conduit Income Tax Return, including Schedule Q thereto,  Quarterly
Notice  to  Residual  Interest  Holders  of REMIC  Taxable  Income or Net Loss
Allocation,  or any successor  forms, to be filed on behalf of any REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions.

            Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by Company.

            On the Business Day immediately  preceding each  Remittance  Date,
either (a) the Company  shall  deposit in the  Custodial  Account from its own
funds or (b) if funds are on deposit in the  Custodial  Account  which are not
required to be remitted on the related  Remittance  Date, the Company may make
an  appropriate  entry in its records that such funds shall be applied  toward
the related  Monthly  Advance  (provided,  that any funds so applied  shall be
replaced by the Company no later than the Business Day  immediately  preceding
the next Remittance  Date), in each case, in an aggregate  amount equal to all
Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate)
which were due on the  Mortgage  Loans  during the  applicable  Due Period and
which were  delinquent at the close of business on the  immediately  preceding
Determination  Date or which  were  deferred  pursuant  to Section  4.01.  The
Company's  obligation  to make such Monthly  Advances as to any Mortgage  Loan
will  continue  through the last  Monthly  Payment due prior to the payment in
full of the Mortgage  Loan, or through the last  Remittance  Date prior to the
Remittance Date for the  distribution  of all  Liquidation  Proceeds and other
payments  or  recoveries   (including   Insurance  Proceeds  and  Condemnation
Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

            In no event  shall the  Company  be  obligated  to make an advance
under this  section  5.03 if at the time of such advance it deems such advance
to be  non-recoverable.  The  Company  shall  promptly  deliver  an  officer's
certificate   to  the  Purchaser   upon   determining   that  any  advance  is
non-recoverable.  In the event that upon liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the
Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the Company for any Monthly
Advances,  the Company shall notify the related Purchaser of such shortfall by
registered mail with sufficient  supporting  documentation  and shall have the
right to deduct  such  shortfall  from the next  remittance  to be paid to the
related Purchaser.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                          GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

            Section 6.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

            The   Company   shall  use  its  best   efforts  to  enforce   any
"due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny
assumption by the person to whom the  Mortgaged  Property has been or is about
to be sold whether by absolute  conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether
or not the  Mortgagor  remains  liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage  Note.
When the Mortgaged  Property has been conveyed by the  Mortgagor,  the Company
shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance,  exercise its rights
to  accelerate  the  maturity of such  Mortgage  Loan under the  "due-on-sale"
clause  applicable  thereto,  provided,  however,  that the Company  shall not
exercise  such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of
such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery  under the related
PMI or LPMI Policy, if any.


                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>

            If the Company  reasonably  believes it is unable under applicable
law to enforce such "due-on-sale"  clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an
assumption  and  modification  agreement with the person to whom such property
has been  conveyed,  pursuant to which such person  becomes  liable  under the
Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the
event the Company is unable under  applicable law to require that the original
Mortgagor  remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior
consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer,  a substitution of liability
agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged  Property  pursuant to which the
original  Mortgagor  is  released  from  liability  and the  purchaser  of the
Mortgaged  Property is  substituted  as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage  Note. If an assumption  fee is collected by the Company for entering
into an assumption agreement,  a portion of such fee, up to an amount equal to
one  percent  (1.0%)  of the  outstanding  principal  balance  of the  related
Mortgage  Loan,  will be  retained  by the  Company  as  additional  servicing
compensation,  and any portion  thereof in excess one percent  (1.0%) shall be
deposited  in the  Custodial  Account  for the  benefit of the  Purchaser.  In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability,  neither the
Mortgage  Interest Rate borne by the related  Mortgage  Note,  the term of the
Mortgage Loan, the Index, the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, the Initial
Rate  Cap or the  Gross  Margin  of any  Mortgage  Loan,  nor the  outstanding
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

            To the extent that any  Mortgage  Loan is  assumable,  the Company
shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee,
and  shall use the  underwriting  criteria  for  approving  the  credit of the
proposed  transferee which are used by Fannie Mae with respect to underwriting
mortgage  loans of the same type as the Mortgage  Loans.  If the credit of the
proposed  transferee  does not meet such  underwriting  criteria,  the Company
diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note
and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

            Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage
                         Files.

            Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage  Loan,  or the receipt by
the  Company of a  notification  that  payment in full will be  escrowed  in a
manner customary for such purposes,  the Company shall notify the Purchaser in
the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the
release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. In connection with any such prepayment
in  full,  the  Company  shall  comply  with  all  applicable  laws  regarding
satisfaction, release or reconveyance with respect to the Mortgage.

            If the  Company  satisfies  or releases a Mortgage  without  first
having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or
should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under
the mortgage  instruments,  upon written demand of the Purchaser,  the Company
shall  repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit
thereof in the  Custodial  Account  within 2 Business  Days of receipt of such
demand by the  Purchaser.  The Company  shall  maintain the Fidelity  Bond and
Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring
the Company  against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan
not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

            Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

            As compensation for its services  hereunder,  the Company shall be
entitled to withdraw  from the  Custodial  Account or to retain from  interest
payments on the Mortgage  Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing
Fee shall be payable  monthly  and shall be  computed on the basis of the same
unpaid  principal  balance  and for the period  respecting  which any  related
interest  payment on a Mortgage  Loan is computed.  The Servicing Fee shall be
payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which
payment  is in fact made of the  entire  amount of the  Monthly  Payment.  The
obligation  of the  Purchaser  to pay the  Servicing  Fee is  limited  to, and
payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly  Payments  collected
by the Company.

            Additional servicing  compensation in the form of assumption fees,
to the  extent  provided  in  Section  6.01,  and  late  payment  charges  and
Prepayment  Penalties,  shall be  retained  by the  Company  to the extent not
required to be  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account.  The  Company  shall be
required to pay all expenses  incurred by it in connection  with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except
as  specifically  provided  for  herein.   Notwithstanding  anything  in  this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full, the
Company  shall not waive,  and shall not permit the waiver of, any  Prepayment
Penalty or portion thereof  required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note
unless (i) the Company  determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of
Liquidations Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) (A) the enforeceability  therefore is limited
(1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,  receivership, or other similar law
relating  to  creditors'  rights  generally  or  (2)  due to  acceleration  in
connection  with a  foreclosure  or  other  involuntary  payment  or  (B)  the
enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law.

            Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

            The Company  shall deliver to the  Purchaser,  on or before May 31
each year beginning May 31, 2003, an Officer's Certificate, stating that (i) a
review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and
of  performance  under  this  Agreement  has been made  under  such  officer's
supervision,  and (ii) the Company has complied  fully with the  provisions of
Article II and Article IV, and (iii) to the best of such officer's  knowledge,
based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement  throughout  such  year,  or,  if there  has been a  default  in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status  thereof  and the action  being taken by the
Company to cure such default.

Report.

            On or before May 31st of each year  beginning  May 31,  2003,  the
Company, at its expense,  shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to
furnish  a  statement  to each  Purchaser  to the  effect  that  such firm has
examined  certain  documents  and  records  relating to the  servicing  of the
Mortgage  Loans and this  Agreement  and that such firm is of the opinion that
the provisions of Article II and Article IV have been complied with, and that,
on the basis of such  examination  conducted  substantially in compliance with
the Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their
attention  which would  indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in
compliance  therewith,  except  for (i) such  exceptions  as such  firm  shall
believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth
in such statement.

            Section 6.06 Right to Examine Company Records.

            The  Purchaser  shall have the right to examine  and audit any and
all of the books,  records, or other information of the Company,  whether held
by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans,  during business hours or at such other times
as may be reasonable under applicable  circumstances,  upon reasonable advance
notice.

                         Agreement Upon an Agency Transfer, or a Pass-Through
                         Transfer on One or More Reconstitution Dates.

            The  Purchaser  and the  Company  agree  that with  respect to any
Pass-Through Transfer, Whole Loan Transfer or Agency Transfers, as applicable,
the Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in effecting such transfers and
shall  negotiate  in good  faith  and  execute  any  Reconstitution  Agreement
required to effectuate  the  foregoing;  provided  that,  such  Reconstitution
Agreement  shall  not  materially   increase  the  Company's   obligations  or
liabilities  hereunder,  nor diminish any of the Company's rights, and provide
to any master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, and/or the Purchaser any
and  all  publicly  available  information  and  appropriate  verification  of
information which may be reasonably available to the Company,  whether through
letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser, trustee or
a master servicer shall  reasonable  request as to the related Mortgage Loans.
Purchaser shall reimburse  Company for any and all costs or expenses  incurred
by Company (i) in  obtaining  "accountant  comfort  letters"  with  respect to
information  supplied in response to Purchaser  requests,  (ii) in  connection
with any due diligence  performed in connection  with a Pass-Through  or Whole
Loan Transfer or (iii) making the Mortgage Loan  Documents or Servicing  Files
available to parties  participating  in a Pass-Through or Whole Loan Transfer,
including without limitation, shipping costs. Such information may be included
in any  disclosure  document  prepared  in  connection  with the  Pass-Through
Transfer,  Whole Loan Transfer or Agency  Transfer,  as applicable;  provided,
however,  that Company shall  indemnify  the  Purchaser  against any liability
arising  from any  material  omissions  or  misstatements  in any  information
supplied by the Company and included in a disclosure  document;  and provided,
further,  that the Purchaser shall indemnify the Company against any liability
arising from any  information  included in a disclosure  document that was not
supplied  by  the  Company.  The  Company  shall  execute  any  Reconstitution
Agreements  required within a reasonable  period of time after receipt of such
agreements  which time shall be  sufficient  for the Company and the Company's
counsel  to review  such  agreements.  Company  shall use its Best  Efforts to
complete such review  within ten (10) Business Days after mutual  agreement as
to the terms  thereof,  but such time shall not exceed  fifteen (15)  Business
Days after mutual agreement as to the terms thereof.

            The Company  shall not be required to restate any  representations
and  warranties  as of the  date  of any  Pass-Through  Transfer,  Whole  Loan
Transfer or Agency Transfers other than the representations and warranties set
forth in Section  3.01  (provided,  that the Company  shall not be required to
restate the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.01(j) ) .

            In the event of any Agency  Transfer,  Pass-Through  or Whole Loan

charged by the Agency.

            Section 7.02 Purchaser's Repurchase and Indemnification Obligations.

            Upon receipt by the Company of notice from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
or the  trustee  of a  breach  of any  Purchaser  representation  or  warranty
contained in any Reconstitution  Agreement or a request by Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac or the  trustee,  as the case may be, for the  repurchase  of any Mortgage
Loan  transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pursuant to an Agency  Transfer
or to a  trustee  pursuant  to a  Pass-Through  Transfer,  the  Company  shall
promptly  notify the  Purchaser  of same and shall,  at the  direction  of the
Purchaser,  use its best  efforts to cure and  correct  any such breach and to
satisfy the  requests or concerns of Fannie Mae,  Freddie  Mac, or the trustee
related to such  deficiencies  of the related  Mortgage  Loans  transferred to
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee.

            The Purchaser shall  repurchase from the Company any Mortgage Loan
transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pursuant to an Agency  Transfer or to
a trustee  pursuant  to a  Pass-Through  Transfer  with  respect  to which the
Company  has been  required  by Fannie  Mae,  Freddie  Mac,  or the trustee to
repurchase  due to a  breach  of a  representation  or  warranty  made  by the
Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans,  or the servicing  thereof prior
to the  transfer  date to Fannie  Mae,  Freddie  Mac,  or the  trustee  in any
Reconstitution   Agreement   and  not  due  to  a  breach  of  the   Company's
representations or obligations  thereunder or pursuant to this Agreement.  The
repurchase  price to be paid by the  Purchaser to the Company shall equal that
repurchase  price paid by the Company to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the third
party purchaser plus all reasonable costs and expenses borne by the Company in
connection with the cure of said breach of a  representation  or warranty made
by the Purchaser and in connection  with the  repurchase of such Mortgage Loan
from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee,  including,  but not limited to,
reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees.

            At the time of  repurchase,  the  Custodian  and the Company shall
arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
according to the Purchaser's instructions and the delivery to the Custodian of
any documents held by Fannie Mae,  Freddie Mac, or the trustee with respect to
the  repurchased   Mortgage  Loan  pursuant  to  the  related   Reconstitution
Agreement.  In the event of a repurchase,  the Company  shall,  simultaneously
with  such  reassignment,  give  written  notice  to the  Purchaser  that such
repurchase  has taken place,  and amend the related  Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the addition of the repurchased  Mortgage Loan to this  Agreement.  In
connection  with any such  addition,  the Company and the  Purchaser  shall be
deemed to have made as to such repurchased  Mortgage Loan the  representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

            Section 8.01 Provision of Information.

            During the term of this  Agreement  and provided such request will
cause the Company to violate any applicable law or statute,  the Company shall
furnish  to  the  Purchaser  such  periodic,  special,  or  other  reports  or
information  and  copies  or  originals  of  any  documents  contained  in the
Servicing File for each Mortgage Loan,  whether or not provided for herein, as

Agreement. All such reports, documents or information shall be provided by and
in  accordance  with all  reasonable  instructions  and  directions  which the
Purchaser  may give.  Purchaser  shall pay any costs  related  to any  special
reports.

            The Company  shall  execute and deliver all such  instruments  and
take all such action as the  Purchaser  may  reasonably  request  from time to
time, in order to  effectuate  the purposes and to carry out the terms of this
Agreement.

            Section 8.02 Financial Statements; Servicing Facility.

            Section 9.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

            The Company  shall  indemnify  the  Purchaser and hold it harmless
against  any  and  all  claims,  losses,   damages,   penalties,   fines,  and
forfeitures, including, but not limited to reasonable and necessary legal fees
and related costs, judgments,  and any other costs, fees and expenses that the

perform its duties and service the Mortgage  Loans in strict  compliance  with
the terms of this  Agreement  or any  Reconstitution  Agreement  entered  into

Loans,  shall  promptly  notify  Fannie Mae,  Freddie Mac, or the trustee with
respect to any claim made by a third party with respect to any  Reconstitution

including  counsel fees, and promptly pay,  discharge and satisfy any judgment
or decree in the amount of $5,000 or less,  which may be entered against it or
the  Purchaser in respect of such claim.  The Company shall follow any written
instructions  received from the Purchaser in connection  with such claim.  The
Purchaser  promptly shall reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it
pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related
to the Company's  indemnification  pursuant to Section 3.03, or the failure of
the  Company  to (a)  service  and  administer  the  Mortgage  Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any  Reconstitution  Agreement,
and/or (b) comply with applicable law.

            Section 9.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

            The Company  shall keep in full effect its  existence,  rights and

qualification   is  or  shall  be   necessary  to  protect  the  validity  and
enforceability  of this  Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.

            Any person into which the  Company may be merged or  consolidated,
or any corporation  resulting from any merger,  conversion or consolidation to

of the Company,  shall be the successor of the Company hereunder,  without the
execution  or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties  hereto,  anything herein to the contrary  notwithstanding,  provided,
however,  that the successor or surviving  Person shall be an institution  (i)
having a net worth of not less  than  $25,000,000,  (ii)  whose  deposits  are

            Section 9.03 Limitation on Liability of Company and Others.

            Neither the Company nor any of the directors,  officers, employees
or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any
action  taken or for  refraining  from the  taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that
this  provision  shall not protect the Company or any such person  against any
Breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its
obligations in strict  compliance  with any standard of care set forth in this
Agreement,  or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any
breach of the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement.  The  Company and any
director,  officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind prima facie  properly  executed and  submitted by any
Person  respecting  any matters  arising  hereunder.  The Company shall not be
under any obligation to appear in,  prosecute or defend any legal action which
is not  incidental  to its duties to service the Mortgage  Loans in accordance
with this  Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability,  provided,  however,  that the Company may, with the consent of the
Purchaser,  undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties  hereto.
In such  event,  the  Company  shall be  entitled  to  reimbursement  from the
Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

            Section 9.04 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Company.

            The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Company and
subsequent  Purchasers  will purchase the Mortgage  Loans in reliance upon the
independent status of the Company,  and the representations as to the adequacy
of its servicing facilities,  plant,  personnel,  records and procedures,  its
integrity,  reputation and financial  standing,  and the continuance  thereof.
Therefore,  the Company shall neither  assign this  Agreement or the servicing
hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to
other than a Subservicer) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its  property  or assets  without  the  prior  written  consent  of the
Purchaser,  which consent shall be granted or withheld in the sole  discretion
of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company may assign its right and
obligations  hereunder to any entity that is directly or  indirectly  owned or
controlled by the Company and the Company  guarantees the  performance by such
entity of all obligations hereunder.

            The  Company  shall not  resign  from the  obligations  and duties
hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser
or upon the determination  that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law and such incapacity  cannot be cured by the Company.  Any
such  determination  permitting  the  resignation  of  the  Company  shall  be

consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement  upon notice given as set forth in Section  10.01,  without any
payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability  whatsoever to the
Company or any third party.

      including  bankruptcy,  marshaling of assets and  liabilities or similar
      proceedings,  or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall

      responsibilities  hereunder or to delegate  its duties  hereunder or any
      portion  thereof (to other than a  Subservicer)  in violation of Section
      9.04.

            In each and every such case,  so long as an Event of Default shall
not have been  remedied,  in addition to  whatsoever  rights the Purchaser may
have at law or equity to damages,  including  injunctive  relief and  specific
performance, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company, may terminate
all the rights and  obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and

and power of the Company  under this  Agreement,  whether  with respect to the
Mortgage  Loans or  otherwise,  shall  pass to and be vested in the  successor
appointed  pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from any Purchaser,
the  Company  shall  prepare,  execute  and  deliver to the  successor  entity
designated by the Purchaser any and all documents and other instruments, place

all other acts or things  necessary or  appropriate  to effect the purposes of
such notice of  termination,  including  but not limited to the  transfer  and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents,  at the
Company's  sole expense.  The Company shall  cooperate  with the Purchaser and
such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's  responsibilities
and rights  hereunder,  including  without  limitation,  the  transfer to such
successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time
be  credited  by the  Company to the  Custodial  Account or Escrow  Account or
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

            Section 10.02 Waiver of Defaults.

            By a written  notice,  the  Purchaser may waive any default by the
Company in the performance of its obligations  hereunder and its consequences.
Upon any 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.

            Prior to termination of the Company's  responsibilities and duties
under this Agreement  pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 (ii) or pursuant
to Section 11.02 after the 90 day period has expired, the Purchaser shall, (i)
succeed to and assume all of the Company's  responsibilities,  rights,  duties
and obligations  under this Agreement,  or (ii) appoint a successor having the

date  thereof  with the same  degree of  diligence  and  prudence  which it is
obligated  to  exercise  under  this  Agreement,  and  shall  take  no  action
whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of
its  successor.  The  resignation  or removal of the  Company  pursuant to the
aforementioned  sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be
appointed  pursuant to this  Section  12.01 and shall in no event  relieve the
Company of the  representations  and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01
and 3.02 and the remedies  available to the  Purchaser  under  Sections  3.03,

Company notwithstanding any such sale, assignment,  resignation or termination
of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

further, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Company

                         CONTENTS OF EACH MORTGAGE FILE

            With  respect  to each  Mortgage  Loan,  the  Mortgage  File shall
include each of the following  items,  which shall be available for inspection
by the Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be retained by
the Company in the Servicing  File or delivered to the  Custodian  pursuant to
Section 2.01 and 2.03 of the Seller's  Warranties  and Servicing  Agreement to
which this Exhibit is attached (the "Agreement") :

      1.    The original  Mortgage Note bearing all intervening  endorsements,
            endorsed  "Pay to the order of  _________  without  recourse"  and
            signed in the name of the Company by an authorized officer (in the
            event that the  Mortgage  Loan was  acquired  by the  Company in a
            merger, the signature must be in the following form:  "Countrywide
            Home Loans,  Inc.,  successor by merger to [name of predecessor]";
            and in the event that the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated
            by the Company  while  doing  business  under  another  name,  the

            cause to be  delivered  the  original  Mortgage  with  evidence of
            recording  thereon on or prior to the related Closing Date because
            of a delay  caused  by the  public  recording  office  where  such
            Mortgage  has been  delivered  for  recordation  or  because  such
            Mortgage  has been lost or because  such public  recording  office
            retains the original recorded Mortgage,  the Company shall deliver
            or cause to be  delivered  to the  Custodian,  a photocopy of such
            Mortgage,  together  with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the

            public  recording  office for  recordation  and that the  original
            recorded  Mortgage or a copy of such  Mortgage  certified  by such

means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action

the  Mortgage  Loans  a  violation  of  Section  5 of the  33  Act or  require
registration pursuant thereto.

      THIS IS A  SERVICING  AGREEMENT,  dated as of  February  1, 2006,  and is

Guide or Freddie Mac Guide,  subject to any  variances  negotiated  with Fannie
Mae or Freddie  Mac and subject to the express  provisions  of this  Agreement.
Such  standard  of care shall not be lower than that the  Servicer  customarily
employs and exercises in servicing and  administering  similar  mortgage  loans
for its own account and shall be in full  compliance  with all federal,  state,
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

      Adjustment  Date:  As to each ARM Loan,  the date on which  the  Mortgage
Interest  Rate  is  adjusted  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the  related
Mortgage Note.

      Agreement:  This  Servicing  Agreement  including  all  exhibits  hereto,
amendments hereof and supplements hereto.

      ARM Loans:  First lien,  conventional,  1-4 family  residential  Mortgage
Loans with  interest  rates which adjust from time to time in  accordance  with
the  related  Index and are  subject to Periodic  Rate Caps and  Lifetime  Rate
Caps and which may permit conversion to fixed interest rates.

      BSABS I:  Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC.

      Business  Day:  Any day other  than (i) a Saturday  or Sunday,  or (ii) a
legal  holiday  in  the  States  of  Maryland,   Minnesota,  New  York  or  the

                                       1
<PAGE>

      Code:  The  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as it may be  amended  from
time  to  time,  or  any  successor   statute  thereto,   and  applicable  U.S.
Department of the Treasury regulations issued pursuant thereto.

      Commission or SEC:  The Securities and Exchange Commission.

      Condemnation  Proceeds:  All  awards  or  settlements  in  respect  of  a
Mortgaged  Property,  whether  permanent or  temporary,  partial or entire,  by
exercise  of the power of  eminent  domain or  condemnation,  to the extent not
required  to be released to a  Mortgagor  in  accordance  with the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan Documents.

      Custodial  Account:  One or more demand  account or accounts  created and
maintained  pursuant to Section  4.04 which shall be  entitled  "EMC  Custodial
Account  in trust  for  BSABS I,  Owner of Whole  Loan  Mortgages  and  various
Mortgagors"  established  at a  Qualified  Depository,  each of which  accounts
shall be held by such Qualified  Depository in a fiduciary  capacity,  separate

business on the last day of the month in which such payment was due. For
example, a Mortgage Loan with a payment due on December 1 that remained
unpaid as of the close of business on December 31 would then be considered to
be 30 to 59 days delinquent. Similarly for "60 days delinquent," "90 days
delinquent" and so on. The determination as to whether a Mortgage Loan falls
into these categories is made as of the close of business on the last
Business Day of each month. This method of determining delinquencies is also

required  to be paid in  accordance  with  the  terms of the  related  Mortgage
Note, exclusive of any days of grace.

a complete  set of books and  records  for the  Mortgage  Loans  which shall be
appropriately  identified in the Servicer's  computer system to clearly reflect
the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Owner.  In  particular,  the Servicer
shall maintain in its  possession,  available for  inspection by the Owner,  or
its  designee  and  shall  deliver  to  the  Owner  upon  demand,  evidence  of
compliance with all federal,  state and local laws, rules and regulations,  and
requirements  of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as  applicable,  including  but not
limited  to   documentation   as  to  the  method  used  in   determining   the
applicability  of the provisions of the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of 1973,
as amended,  to the  Mortgaged  Property,  documentation  evidencing  insurance
coverage  and  eligibility  of any  condominium  project for approval by Fannie
Mae and  periodic  inspection  reports  as  required  by Section  4.13.  To the
extent that  original  documents  are not required for purposes of  realization
of  Liquidation  Proceeds or Insurance  Proceeds,  documents  maintained by the
Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche  or such other  reliable
means of recreating original  documents,  including but not limited to, optical
imagery  techniques so long as the Servicer  complies with the  requirements of
the Fannie Mae Guide.

      The  Servicer  shall  maintain  with  respect to each  Mortgage  Loan and
shall make  available  for  inspection by any Owner or its designee the related
Servicing  File  (or  copies   thereof)  during  the  time  the  Owner  retains
ownership of a Mortgage  Loan and  thereafter  in  accordance  with  applicable
laws and regulations.

      Section 2.04.     Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

      No  transfer of a Mortgage  Loan may be made  unless such  transfer is in
compliance  with the terms  hereof.  For the  purposes of this  Agreement,  the
Servicer  shall be under no  obligation to deal with any person with respect to
this  Agreement  or any  Mortgage  Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such
Mortgage  Loan has been  delivered  to the  Servicer  in  accordance  with this
Section  2.04.  The Owner  may,  subject to the terms of this  Agreement,  sell
and transfer  one or more of the Mortgage  Loans in  accordance  with  Sections
10.02 and 11.12,  provided,  however, that the transferee will not be deemed to
be an Owner hereunder  binding upon the Servicer  unless such transferee  shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this  Agreement  and an assignment
and assumption of this  Agreement  reasonably  acceptable to the Servicer.  The
Owner shall  advise the  Servicer in writing of the  transfer.  Upon receipt of
notice  of the  permitted  transfer,  the  Servicer  shall  mark its  books and
records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage  Loans of such  assignee,  and
shall release the previous  Owner from its  obligations  hereunder with respect
to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

      Section 2.05.     Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

      The  Servicer  shall  forward  to the  Custodian  on  behalf of the Owner
original  documents  evidencing an assumption,  modification,  consolidation or
extension of any Mortgage  Loan  entered into in  accordance  with Section 4.01
or 6.01  within 4  week(s)  of their  execution;  provided,  however,  that the
Servicer  shall  provide the  Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified
true  copy of any such  document  submitted  for  recordation  within 4 week(s)
after its execution,  and shall provide the original of any document  submitted
for  recordation  or a copy  of  such  document  certified  by the  appropriate
public  recording  office to be a true and complete copy of the original within
180  days of its  execution.  If  delivery  is not  completed  within  180 days
solely due to delays in making  such  delivery  by reason of the fact that such
documents  shall not have been returned by the  appropriate  recording  office,
the  Servicer  shall  continue  to use its best  efforts to effect  delivery as
soon as possible thereafter.

      From  time to  time  the  Servicer  may  have a need  for  Mortgage  Loan
Documents to be released by the  Custodian.  If the Servicer  shall require any
of the Mortgage  Loan  Documents,  the Servicer  shall notify the  Custodian in
writing  of such  request  in the  form of the  request  for  release  attached
hereto as Exhibit D. The Custodian  shall  deliver to the Servicer  within five
(5) Business Days, any requested  Mortgage Loan Document  previously  delivered
to the  Custodian,  provided that such  documentation  is promptly  returned to
the  Custodian  when  the  Servicer  no  longer  requires   possession  of  the
document,  and  provided  that during the time that any such  documentation  is
held by the  Servicer,  such  possession  is in trust  for the  benefit  of the
Owner.

All such  financial  information  fairly  presents  the  pertinent  results  of
operations  and  financial  position  for the  period  identified  and has been
prepared in accordance with GAAP  consistently  applied  throughout the periods
involved,  except as set forth in the notes  thereto.  There has been no change
in the  servicing  policies and  procedures,  business,  operations,  financial

                                  ARTICLE IV
                ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

      Section 4.01.     Servicer to Act as Servicer.

      The  Servicer,  as  independent  contract  servicer,  shall  service  and
administer  the  Mortgage  Loans in  accordance  with this  Agreement  and with
Accepted   Servicing   Practices  (giving  due  consideration  to  the  Owner's
reliance  on the  Servicer),  and shall have full power and  authority,  acting
alone,  to do or cause to be done any and all  things in  connection  with such
servicing  and  administration   which  the  Servicer  may  deem  necessary  or
desirable  and  consistent  with the terms of this  Agreement and with Accepted
Servicing  Practices  and shall  exercise  the same  care  that it  customarily
employs  for  its  own  account.  In  addition,   the  Servicer  shall  furnish
information  regarding the borrower  credit files related to such Mortgage Loan
to credit  reporting  agencies in  compliance  with the  provisions of the Fair
Credit  Reporting Act and the applicable  implementing  regulations.  Except as
set forth in this  Agreement,  the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with Accepted  Servicing  Practices in compliance with the servicing
provisions  of the Fannie Mae Guide,  which  include,  but are not  limited to,
provisions  regarding the  liquidation  of Mortgage  Loans,  the  collection of
Mortgage Loan  payments,  the payment of taxes,  insurance  and other  charges,
the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified  Insurer,  the maintenance
of  fidelity  bond  and  errors  and  omissions  insurance,   inspections,  the
restoration  of  Mortgaged  Property,   the  maintenance  of  Primary  Mortgage
Insurance  Policies,  insurance claims, and title insurance,  management of REO
Property,  permitted  withdrawals  with  respect to REO  Property,  liquidation
reports,  and reports of foreclosures and  abandonments of Mortgaged  Property,
the transfer of Mortgaged  Property,  the release of Mortgage  Loan  Documents,
annual  statements,  and  examination of records and  facilities.  In the event
of any  conflict,  inconsistency  or  discrepancy  between any of the servicing
provisions  of  this  Agreement  and  any of the  servicing  provisions  of the
Fannie Mae  Guide,  the  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  control  and be
binding  upon the  Owner  and the  Servicer.  The  Owner  may,  at its  option,
deliver  powers-of-attorney  to the Servicer  sufficient  to allow the Servicer
as servicer  to execute  all  documentation  requiring  execution  on behalf of
Owner  with  respect  to  the  servicing  of  the  Mortgage  Loans,   including
satisfactions,  partial releases,  modifications and foreclosure  documentation
or, in the alternative,  shall as promptly as reasonably possible,  execute and
return such documentation to the Servicer.


                                      15
<PAGE>

      Consistent  with the terms of this  Agreement,  the  Servicer  may waive,
modify or vary any term of any  Mortgage  Loan or consent  to the  postponement
of any such term or in any manner grant  indulgence  to any Mortgagor if in the
Servicer's  reasonable  and prudent  determination  such waiver,  modification,
postponement  or indulgence is not materially  adverse to the Owner,  provided,
however,  that with respect to any  Mortgage  Loan that is not in default or if
default is not  reasonably  forseeable,  unless the  Servicer has provided   to
the  Owner  a  certification  addressed to  the  Owner,  based on the advice of
counsel or certified public  accountants  that have a national  reputation with
respect to taxation of REMICs that a  modification  of such  Mortgage Loan will
not result in the  imposition of taxes on or  disqualify  from REMIC status any
of  the REMICs and  has obtained the prior  written  consent of the Owner,  the
Servicer  shall not permit any  modification  with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that  would  change  the  Mortgage  Interest  Rate,   forgive  the  payment  of
principal or interest,  reduce or increase the  outstanding  principal  balance
(except for actual  payments of  principal),  change the final maturity date on
such  Mortgage  Loan or waive a prepayment  penalty or charge.  In the event of
any such  modification  which has been  agreed to in  writing  by the Owner and
which  permits the deferral of interest or  principal  payments on any Mortgage
Loan,  the  Servicer  shall,  on the  Business Day  immediately  preceding  the
related  Remittance  Date in any month in which any such  principal or interest
payment  has been  deferred,  deposit  in the  Custodial  Account  from its own
funds,  in  accordance  with  Section  4.04 and Section  5.03,  the  difference
between (a) such  month's  principal  and one  month's  interest at the related
Mortgage  Loan  Remittance  Rate  on  the  unpaid  principal  balance  of  such
Mortgage  Loan and (b) the amount paid by the  Mortgagor.  The  Servicer  shall
be entitled to  reimbursement  for such  advances to the same extent as for all
other  advances  pursuant to Section 4.05.  Without  limiting the generality of
the  foregoing,  the Servicer  shall  continue,  and is hereby  authorized  and
empowered,  to prepare,  execute and deliver,  all  instruments of satisfaction
or  cancellation,  or of  partial  or full  release,  discharge  and all  other
comparable  instruments,  with respect to the  Mortgage  Loans and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties.

      The  Servicer  shall  perform  all  of  its  servicing   responsibilities
hereunder  or  may  cause  a   subservicer   to  perform  any  such   servicing
responsibilities  on its behalf,  but the use by the Servicer of a  subservicer
shall not release the Servicer  from any of its  obligations  hereunder and the
Servicer  shall  remain  responsible  hereunder  for all acts and  omissions of
each  subservicer  as fully as if such  acts and  omissions  were  those of the
Servicer.  Any such subservicer  must be a Fannie Mae approved  seller/servicer
or a Freddie  Mac  seller/servicer  in good  standing  and no event  shall have
occurred,  including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage,  which
would make it unable to comply with the  eligibility  requirements  for lenders
imposed by Fannie Mae or for  seller/servicers  by Freddie  Mac, or which would
require  notification  to Fannie Mae or Freddie  Mac.  The  Servicer  shall pay
all  fees  and  expenses  of  each  subservicer  from  its  own  funds,  and  a
subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

      At  the  cost  and  expense  of  the  Servicer,   without  any  right  of
reimbursement  from the Custodial  Account,  the Servicer  shall be entitled to
terminate  the rights and  responsibilities  of a  subservicer  and arrange for
any  servicing  responsibilities  to be  performed  by a successor  subservicer
meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph,  provided,  however,  that
nothing  contained  herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer,
at the Servicer's  option,  from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans
itself.  In the event that the  Servicer's  responsibilities  and duties  under
this Agreement are terminated  pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01,  and if
requested  to do so by the  Owner,  the  Servicer  shall  at its own  cost  and
expense  terminate  the  rights  and   responsibilities   of  each  subservicer
effective as of the date of  termination  of the Servicer.  The Servicer  shall
pay all  fees,  expenses  or  penalties  necessary  in order to  terminate  the
rights and  responsibilities  of each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds
without reimbursement from the Owner.


                                      16
<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding  any of the  provisions  of this  Agreement  relating  to
agreements  or  arrangements  between the  Servicer  and a  subservicer  or any
reference  herein to actions  taken through a  subservicer  or  otherwise,  the
Servicer  shall not be  relieved of its  obligations  to the Owner and shall be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and  conditions  as if it
alone were  servicing  and  administering  the  Mortgage  Loans.  The  Servicer
shall  be  entitled  to  enter  into  an  agreement  with  a  subservicer   for
indemnification  of the Servicer by the  subservicer  and nothing  contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

      Any  subservicing  agreement  and  any  other  transactions  or  services
relating to the Mortgage  Loans  involving a subservicer  shall be deemed to be
between  such  subservicer  and  Servicer  alone,  and the Owner  shall have no
obligations,  duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer  including
no obligation,  duty or liability of Owner to pay such  subservicer's  fees and
expenses.   For  purposes  of  distributions   and  advances  by  the  Servicer
pursuant to this  Agreement,  the Servicer  shall be deemed to have  received a
payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

      Section 4.02.     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

      Continuously  from the date  hereof  until  the date each  Mortgage  Loan
ceases  to be  subject  to this  Agreement,  the  Servicer  will  proceed  with
diligence to collect all payments  due under each  Mortgage  Loan when the same
shall  become due and payable and shall,  to the extent such  procedures  shall
be  consistent  with this  Agreement  and the terms and  provisions  of related
Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy,  follow such collection  procedures as it
follows with respect to mortgage  loans  comparable  to the Mortgage  Loans and
held for its own account.  Further,  the Servicer will take  reasonable care in
ascertaining  and estimating  annual ground rents,  taxes,  assessments,  water
rates, fire and hazard insurance  premiums,  mortgage insurance  premiums,  and
all other  charges  that,  as  provided  in the  Mortgage,  will become due and
payable  to the end that the  installments  payable by the  Mortgagors  will be
sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

      The  Servicer  shall not  waive any  Prepayment  Charge  unless:  (i) the
enforceability  thereof  shall  have been  limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
moratorium,  receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'  rights
generally,  (ii) the  enforcement  thereof is illegal,  or any local,  state or
federal  agency  has  threatened  legal  action if the  prepayment  penalty  is
enforced,  (iii) the mortgage debt has been  accelerated  in connection  with a
foreclosure  or other  involuntary  payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and
customary in  servicing  similar  Mortgage  Loans and relates to a default or a
reasonably  foreseeable  default and would,  in the reasonable  judgment of the
Servicer,  maximize  recovery of total  proceeds  taking into account the value
of such  Prepayment  Charge and the  related  Mortgage  Loan.  If a  Prepayment
Charge is waived,  but does not meet the standards  described  above,  then the
Servicer  is required  to pay the amount of such  waived  Prepayment  Charge by
remitting such amount to the Owner by the Remittance Date.


                                      17

      Section 4.03.     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

      The  Servicer  shall  use its  reasonable  efforts,  consistent  with the
procedures  that the Servicer would use in servicing  loans for its own account
and the  requirements  of the Fannie Mae Guide,  to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably  convert the ownership of  properties  securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and  continue  in  default  and as to which no  satisfactory
arrangements  can be made for  collection  of delinquent  payments  pursuant to
Section 4.01. In determining the  delinquency  status of any Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer  will  apply the  definition  of  Delinquent  as such term is  defined
under the related  pooling and  servicing  agreement.  The  Servicer  shall use
its  reasonable  efforts  to  realize  upon  defaulted  Mortgage  Loans in such
manner as will  maximize  the receipt of  principal  and interest by the Owner,
taking  into   account,   among  other  things,   the  timing  of   foreclosure
proceedings.  The foregoing is subject to the  provisions  that, in any case in
which  Mortgaged  Property shall have suffered  damage,  the Servicer shall not
be required to expend its own funds  toward the  restoration  of such  property
unless it shall  determine in its  discretion  (i) that such  restoration  will
increase  the  proceeds  of  liquidation  of the related  Mortgage  Loan to the
Owner  after  reimbursement  to itself  for such  expenses,  and (ii) that such
expenses will be  recoverable  by the Servicer  through  Insurance  Proceeds or
Liquidation  Proceeds from the related Mortgaged  Property,  as contemplated in
Section  4.05.  The Servicer  shall be  responsible  for all costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such  proceedings  or functions  as  Servicing  Advances;
provided,  however,  that it shall be  entitled  to  reimbursement  therefor as
provided in Section 4.05.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained
herein,  in connection  with a  foreclosure  or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure,  in the event the Servicer has reasonable  cause to believe that a
Mortgaged  Property  is  contaminated  by  hazardous  or  toxic  substances  or
wastes,  or if the Owner  otherwise  requests an  environmental  inspection  or
review  of such  Mortgaged  Property,  such an  inspection  or  review is to be
conducted by a qualified  inspector.  Upon  completion of the  inspection,  the
Servicer  shall  promptly  provide  the  Owner  with a  written  report  of the
environmental   inspection.   After  reviewing  the  environmental   inspection
report,  the Owner shall  determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect
to the Mortgaged Property.

      Section 4.04.     Establishment  of  Custodial   Accounts;   Deposits  in
Custodial Accounts.

      The Servicer  shall  segregate and hold all funds  collected and received
pursuant to each  Mortgage  Loan  separate  and apart from any of its own funds
and general  assets and shall  establish  and  maintain  one or more  Custodial
Accounts.  Each  Custodial  Account  shall  be  established  with  a  Qualified
Depository.  To  the  extent  such  funds  are  not  deposited  in a  Custodial
Account,  such funds may be invested in Permitted  Investments  for the benefit
of  the  Owner  (with  any  income  earned  thereon  for  the  benefit  of  the
Servicer).  Custodial  Accounts  will  be  reconciled  within  45  days.  Funds
deposited  in  the  Custodial  Account  may be  drawn  on by  the  Servicer  in
accordance  with Section 4.05.  The creation of any Custodial  Account shall be
evidenced  by a letter  agreement  in the form shown in  Exhibit B hereto.  The
original  of such  letter  agreement  shall  be  furnished  to the  Owner  upon
request.  The Servicer  acknowledges  and agrees that the  Servicer  shall bear
any losses  incurred with respect to Permitted  Investments.  The amount of any
such losses shall be  immediately  deposited  by the Servicer in the  Custodial
Account,  out of the  Servicer's  own  funds,  with no right  to  reimbursement
therefor.

      The  Servicer  shall  deposit in a mortgage  clearing  account on a daily
basis,  and in the  Custodial  Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after
receipt and  identification of funds and retain therein the following  payments
and collections:

            (i)   all  payments on account of  principal,  including  Principal

            (iii) all Net  Liquidation  Proceeds  received  after  the  Cut-off
      Date;

      Date in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;

            (v)   all  Insurance  Proceeds  received  after  the  Cut-off  Date
      including  amounts  required to be  deposited  pursuant to Sections  4.08
      and 4.10,  other  than  proceeds  to be held in the  Escrow  Account  and
      applied  to the  restoration  or  repair  of the  Mortgaged  Property  or
      released  to the  Mortgagor  in  accordance  with the  Servicer's  normal
      servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

            (vi)  all Condemnation  Proceeds  affecting any Mortgaged  Property
      received  after the  Cut-off  Date other than  proceeds to be held in the
      Escrow  Account  and  applied  to  the   restoration  or  repair  of  the
      Mortgaged  Property or released to the Mortgagor in  accordance  with the
      Servicer's   normal   servicing   procedures,   the  loan   documents  or
      applicable law;

            (vii) any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;

            (viii)  any   amounts   received   after   the   Cut-off  Date  and
      required to be deposited  in the  Custodial  Account  pursuant to Section
      6.02; and

            (ix)  with  respect  to each full or partial  Principal  Prepayment
      received after the Cut-off Date, any Prepayment Interest  Shortfalls,  to
      the  extent of the  Servicer's  aggregate  Servicing  Fee  received  with
      respect to the related Due Period.

      The foregoing  requirements  for deposit in the  Custodial  Account shall
be  exclusive,  it being  understood  and agreed  that,  without  limiting  the
generality  of the  foregoing,  payments in the nature of late payment  charges
and  assumption  fees,  to the  extent  permitted  by  Section  6.01,  and  all
Prepayment  Interest  Excess  need  not be  deposited  by the  Servicer  in the
Custodial Account.

      Section 4.05.     Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

      The  Servicer  may,  from  time  to  time,  make   withdrawals  from  the
Custodial Account for the following purposes:
            (i)   to make  payments  to the  Owner  in the  amounts  and in the
      manner provided for in Section 5.01;

            (ii)  to  reimburse  itself for Monthly  Advances,  the  Servicer's
      right to reimburse  itself  pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited
      to amounts  received on the related  Mortgage Loan which  represent  late

      interest respecting which any such advance was made;

            (iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed  Servicing  Advances and
      Monthly  Advances,  the Servicer's  right to reimburse itself pursuant to
      this  subclause  (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to
      Liquidation  Proceeds,   Condemnation  Proceeds  and  Insurance  Proceeds
      received after the Cut-off Date related to such Mortgage Loan;

            (iv)  to pay to itself as servicing  compensation  (a) any interest
      earned  on  funds in the  Custodial  Account  (all  such  interest  to be
      withdrawn  monthly  not  later  than  each  Remittance  Date) and (b) the
      Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment  recovery  attributable to
      interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;

            (v)   to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;

            (vi)  to  transfer  funds  to  another   Qualified   Depository  in
      accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

            (vii) to reimburse itself as provided in Section 8.03 hereof;

           (viii) to  remove  funds   inadvertently  placed  in  the  Custodial
      Account in error by the Servicer; and

            (ix)  to  clear  and  terminate  the  Custodial  Account  upon  the
      termination of this Agreement.

      Section 4.06.     Establishment  of Escrow  Accounts;  Deposits in Escrow
Accounts.

      The Servicer  shall  segregate and hold all funds  collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which  constitute  Escrow Payments  separate and
apart  from any of its own funds and  general  assets and shall  establish  and
maintain  one  or  more  Escrow   Accounts.   Each  Escrow   Account  shall  be
established  with a  Qualified  Depository.  To the  extent  such funds are not
deposited  in an Escrow  Account,  such  funds  may be  invested  in  Permitted
Investments.  Funds  deposited  in an  Escrow  Account  may be  drawn on by the
Servicer in accordance  with Section 4.07.  The creation of any Escrow  Account
shall be  evidenced  by a letter  agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The
original  of such  letter  agreement  shall  be  furnished  to the  Owner  upon
request.  The Servicer  acknowledges  and agrees that the  Servicer  shall bear
any losses  incurred with respect to Permitted  Investments.  The amount of any
such  losses  shall be  immediately  deposited  by the  Servicer  in the Escrow
Account,  as  appropriate,  out of the Servicer's  own funds,  with no right to
reimbursement therefor.


                                      20
<PAGE>

      The  Servicer  shall  deposit in a mortgage  clearing  account on a daily
basis,  and in the Escrow  Account  or  Accounts  no later than 48 hours  after
receipt of funds and retain therein:

            (i)   all Escrow  Payments  collected  on  account of the  Mortgage
      Loans,  for the purpose of effecting  timely  payment of any items as are
      required under the terms of this Agreement;

            (ii)  all  Insurance  Proceeds  which  are  to be  applied  to  the
      restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

            (iii) all Servicing  Advances for Mortgagors  whose Escrow Payments
      are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

      The  Servicer  shall  make  withdrawals  from an Escrow  Account  only to
effect such payments as are required under this  Agreement,  and for such other
purposes  as shall be as set  forth in and in  accordance  with  Section  4.07.
Except as provided in Section  4.07,  the Servicer  shall be entitled to retain
any  interest  paid on funds  deposited in an Escrow  Account by the  Qualified
Depository.

      Section 4.07.     Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

      Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:

            (i)   to  effect   timely   payments   of  ground   rents,   taxes,
      assessments,  water rates,  fire and hazard insurance  premiums,  Primary
      Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items;

            (ii)  to  reimburse  Servicer  for any  Servicing  Advance  made by
      Servicer  with respect to a related  Mortgage  Loan but only from amounts
      received on the related  Mortgage Loan which  represent  late payments or
      collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

            (iii) to refund  to the  Mortgagor  any funds as may be  determined
      to be overages;

            (iv)  for transfer to the Custodial  Account in connection  with an
      acquisition of REO Property;

            (v)   for  application  to  restoration  or repair of the Mortgaged
      Property;

            (vi)  to pay to the  Servicer,  or to the  Mortgagor  to the extent
      required by law, any interest  paid on the funds  deposited in the Escrow
      Account;


                                      21
<PAGE>

            (vii) to  pay  to  the   Mortgagors  or  other  parties   Insurance
      Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;

           (viii) to  remove  funds   inadvertently   placed   in   an   Escrow
      Account in error by the Servicer; and

            (ix)  to  clear  and   terminate   the   Escrow   Account   on  the
      termination of this Agreement.

      As  part  of  its  servicing  duties,  the  Servicer  shall  pay  to  the
Mortgagors  interest on funds in an Escrow  Account,  to the extent required by
law, and to the extent that interest  earned on funds in the Escrow  Account is
insufficient,  shall  pay  such  interest  from  its  own  funds,  without  any
reimbursement therefor.

      Section 4.08.     Payment  of  Taxes,   Insurance   and  Other   Charges,
Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, Collections Thereunder.

      With  respect  to  each  Mortgage   Loan,  the  Servicer  shall  maintain
accurate  records  reflecting the status of ground rents,  taxes,  assessments,
water  rates  and  other  charges  which  are or may  become  a lien  upon  the
Mortgaged  Property  and  the  status  of  Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy
premiums and fire and hazard  insurance  coverage and shall  obtain,  from time
to  time,  all  bills  for the  payment  of  such  charges,  including  renewal
premiums and shall effect payment  thereof prior to the  applicable  penalty or
termination  date and at a time  appropriate  for  securing  maximum  discounts
allowable,  employing for such purpose  deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow
Account  which shall have been  estimated  and  accumulated  by the Servicer in
amounts  sufficient  for such  purposes,  as  allowed  under  the  terms of the
Mortgage or  applicable  law. To the extent that the Mortgage  does not provide
for Escrow  Payments,  the Servicer shall  determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor when due. The Servicer  assumes full  responsibility  for
the timely  payment of all such bills and shall effect  timely  payments of all
such  bills  irrespective  of  the  Mortgagor's  faithful  performance  in  the
payment of same or the making of the Escrow  Payments  and shall make  advances
from its own funds to effect such payments.

      The  Servicer  will  maintain in full force and effect  Primary  Mortgage
Insurance  Policies  issued  by  a  Qualified  Insurer  with  respect  to  each
Mortgage  Loan for which such coverage is herein  required.  Such coverage will
be maintained until the ratio of the current  outstanding  principal balance of
the related  Mortgage  Loan to the  appraised  value of the  related  Mortgaged
Property,  based  on  the  most  recent  appraisal  of the  Mortgaged  Property
performed  by a  Qualified  Appraiser,  such  appraisal  to be  included in the
Servicing  File,  is  reduced  to an  amount  for  which  Fannie  Mae no longer
requires  such  insurance to be  maintained.  The  Servicer  will not cancel or
refuse to renew any Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy that is required to be
kept in force  under  this  Agreement  unless a  replacement  Primary  Mortgage
Insurance  Policy for such canceled or  nonrenewed  policy is obtained from and
maintained  with a Qualified  Insurer.  The Servicer  shall not take any action
which  would  result in  noncoverage  under  any  applicable  Primary  Mortgage
Insurance  Policy of any loss which,  but for the actions of the Servicer would
have  been  covered   thereunder.   In  connection   with  any   assumption  or
substitution  agreement  entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section
6.01,  the  Servicer  shall  promptly  notify  the  insurer  under the  related
Primary Mortgage  Insurance  Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution
of  liability  in  accordance  with the terms of such policy and shall take all
actions  which  may  be  required  by  such  insurer  as  a  condition  to  the
continuation  of  coverage  under the Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy.  If
such  Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy  is  terminated  as a result of such
assumption  or  substitution   of  liability,   the  Servicer  shall  obtain  a
replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.


                                      22
<PAGE>

      In connection  with its  activities as servicer,  the Servicer  agrees to
prepare and present,  on behalf of itself and the Owner,  claims to the insurer
under any Private  Mortgage  Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance
with the terms of such Primary  Mortgage  Insurance Policy and, in this regard,
to take  such  action  as shall be  necessary  to  permit  recovery  under  any
Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy  respecting  a  defaulted  Mortgage  Loan.
Pursuant to Section  4.04,  any amounts  collected  by the  Servicer  under any
Primary  Mortgage   Insurance  Policy  shall  be  deposited  in  the  Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

      Section 4.09.     Transfer of Accounts.

      The Servicer may transfer  the  Custodial  Account or the Escrow  Account
to a different  Qualified  Depository  from time to time.  The  Servicer  shall
notify the Owner of any such transfer  within 15 Business Days of transfer.  If
any one of the investment  ratings of a Qualified  Depository  holding funds or
Eligible  Investments in the Custodial  Account or Escrow Account is downgraded
by the issuing rating  agency,  the Servicer  shall,  within three (3) Business
Days of  receipt  of notice of the  downgrading,  transfer  all such  accounts,
funds  and  Permitted  Investments  to  a  different  Qualified  Depository  in
accordance with this Agreement.

      Section 4.10.     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

      The Servicer  shall cause to be  maintained  for each  Mortgage Loan fire
and hazard  insurance with extended  coverage as is customary in the area where
the  Mortgaged  Property  is located in an amount  which is equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum  insurable value of the improvements  securing such Mortgage
Loan or (ii)  the  greater  of (a) the  outstanding  principal  balance  of the
Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage  such that the proceeds  thereof shall be
sufficient  to prevent  the  Mortgagor  and/or the  Mortgagee  from  becoming a
co-insurer.  If  the  Mortgaged  Property  is  in an  area  identified  in  the
Federal  Register  by the  Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency  as  being  a
special  flood  hazard  area  that  has   federally-mandated   flood  insurance
requirements,  the  Servicer  will  cause to be  maintained  a flood  insurance
policy  meeting  the  requirements  of the  current  guidelines  of the Federal
Insurance  Administration with a generally  acceptable insurance carrier, in an
amount  representing  coverage  not less than the least of (i) the  outstanding
principal  balance of the Mortgage Loan,  (ii) the maximum  insurable  value of
the  improvements  securing such  Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum  amount of
insurance which is available  under the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of 1973,
as amended.  The Servicer  shall also  maintain on the REO  Property,  fire and
hazard  insurance  with extended  coverage in an amount which is at least equal
to the maximum  insurable  value of the  improvements  which are a part of such
property,  liability  insurance and, to the extent required and available under
the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of 1973, as amended,  flood  insurance in an
amount as provided  above.  Any amounts  collected  by the  Servicer  under any
such  policies  other than amounts to be  deposited  in the Escrow  Account and
applied  to  the  restoration  or  repair  of  the  Mortgaged  Property  or REO
Property,  or released  to the  Mortgagor  in  accordance  with the  Servicer's
normal  servicing  procedures,  shall be  deposited in the  Custodial  Account,
subject to withdrawal  pursuant to Section  4.05.  It is understood  and agreed
that no other  additional  insurance  need be required  by the  Servicer or the
Mortgagor  or  maintained  on  property  acquired  in respect  of the  Mortgage
Loans,  other than  pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide or such  applicable  state
or federal laws and  regulations  as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such  additional  insurance.  All such policies  shall be endorsed with
standard   mortgagee  clauses  with  loss  payable  to  the  Servicer  and  its
successors  and/or  assigns and shall  provide  for at least  thirty days prior
written  notice  of any  cancellation,  reduction  in the  amount  or  material
change in coverage to the  Servicer.  The  Servicer  shall not  interfere  with
the  Mortgagor's  freedom of choice in selecting  either his insurance  carrier
or agent,  provided,  however,  that the  Servicer  shall not  accept  any such
insurance  policies from insurance  companies  unless such companies  currently
reflect  a  General  Policy  Rating  in  Best's  Key  Rating  Guide   currently
acceptable  to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state  wherein
the property subject to the policy is located.

      Section 4.11.     Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

      In the event  that the  Servicer  shall  obtain  and  maintain a mortgage
impairment  or blanket  policy  issued by an issuer  that has a Best  rating of
A:VI insuring  against  hazard losses on all of Mortgaged  Properties  securing
the Mortgage  Loans,  then, to the extent such policy  provides  coverage in an
amount  equal to the amount  required  pursuant to Section  4.10 and  otherwise
complies  with all other  requirements  of Section  4.10,  the  Servicer  shall
conclusively  be  deemed  to have  satisfied  its  obligations  as set forth in
Section  4.10,  it being  understood  and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible  clause,  in which case the Servicer  shall, in the event that there
shall  not have  been  maintained  on the  related  Mortgaged  Property  or REO
Property a policy  complying  with Section 4.10,  and there shall have been one
or more losses  which would have been  covered by such  policy,  deposit in the
Custodial  Account the amount not otherwise  payable  under the blanket  policy
because  of such  deductible  clause.  In  connection  with its  activities  as
Servicer of the Mortgage  Loans,  the  Servicer  agrees to prepare and present,
on behalf  of the  Owner,  claims  under  any such  blanket  policy in a timely
fashion  in  accordance  with the terms of such  policy.  Upon  request  of the
Owner,  the Servicer  shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true
copy of such  policy and a  statement  from the  insurer  thereunder  that such
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially  modified  without  thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Owner.

      Section 4.12.     Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

      The  Servicer  shall  maintain,  at its own expense,  a blanket  fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions  insurance  policy,  with broad  coverage with
responsible  companies  that  would  meet the  requirements  of  Fannie  Mae or
Freddie  Mac  on  all  officers,  employees  or  other  persons  acting  in any
capacity  with  regard to the  Mortgage  Loans  and who  handle  funds,  money,
documents  and papers  relating to the Mortgage  Loans.  The Fidelity  Bond and
errors and omissions  insurance  shall be in the form of the Mortgage  Banker's
Blanket  Bond and  shall  protect  and  insure  the  Servicer  against  losses,
including  forgery,  theft,  embezzlement,  fraud,  errors  and  omissions  and
negligent  acts of such  persons.  Such  Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions
insurance  shall  also  protect  and  insure  the  Servicer  against  losses in
connection  with the  failure  to  maintain  any  insurance  policies  required
pursuant to this Agreement and the release or  satisfaction  of a Mortgage Loan
without having obtained  payment in full of the  indebtedness  secured thereby.
No provision of this Section 4.12  requiring  the Fidelity  Bond and errors and
omissions  insurance  shall  diminish or relieve the  Servicer  from its duties
and  obligations  as set forth in this  Agreement.  The minimum  coverage under
any such  Fidelity  Bond and  insurance  policy  shall be at least equal to the
corresponding  amounts  required  by Fannie  Mae in the  Fannie Mae Guide or by
Freddie Mac in the Freddie  Mac Guide.  The  Servicer  shall,  upon  request of
Owner,  deliver to the Owner a  certificate  from the surety and the insurer as
to the  existence  of the  Fidelity  Bond and  errors and  omissions  insurance
policy and shall  obtain a statement  from the surety and the insurer that such
Fidelity  Bond  or  insurance  policy  shall  in  no  event  be  terminated  or
materially  modified  without  thirty days prior  written  notice to the Owner.
The Servicer  shall notify the Owner  within five  Business  Days of receipt of
notice  that  such  Fidelity  Bond or  insurance  policy  will be, or has been,
materially  modified or  terminated.  The Owner and its  successors  or assigns
as their  interests  may appear  must be named as loss  payees on the  Fidelity
Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

      Section 4.13.     Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

      In the  event  that  title  to any  Mortgaged  Property  is  acquired  in
foreclosure  or by deed in lieu of  foreclosure,  the  deed or  certificate  of
sale  shall  be  taken  in the  name of the  Owner  or its  designee.  Any such
Person or Persons  holding  such title other than the Owner  shall  acknowledge
in writing  that such title is being  held as  nominee  for the  benefit of the
Owner.

      The  Servicer  shall assume the  responsibility  for  marketing  each REO
Property in  accordance  with Accepted  Servicing  Practices.  Thereafter,  the
Servicer  shall  continue  to provide  certain  administrative  services to the
Owner  relating to such REO  Property as set forth in this  Section  4.13.  The
REO  Property  must  be  sold  within  three  years  following  the  end of the
calendar  year of the date of  acquisition,  unless a REMIC  election  has been
made with respect to the  arrangement  under which the  Mortgage  Loans and REO
Property  are held and (i) the Owner shall have been  supplied  with an Opinion
of Counsel  (at the  Servicer's  expense) to the effect that the holding by the
related trust of such Mortgaged  Property  subsequent to such three-year period
(and  specifying  the  period  beyond  such  three-year  period  for  which the
Mortgaged  Property may be held) will not result in the  imposition of taxes on
"prohibited  transactions"  of the related  trust as defined in Section 860F of
the Code,  or cause the related  REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC,  in which
case the related trust may continue to hold such  Mortgaged  Property  (subject
to any  conditions  contained in such  Opinion of  Counsel),  or (ii) the Owner
(at the  Servicer's  expense) or the Servicer  shall have applied for, prior to
the  expiration  of such  three-year  period,  an extension of such  three-year
period in the manner  contemplated  by Section  856(e)(3) of the Code, in which
case the  three-year  period shall be extended by the applicable  period.  If a
period longer than three years is permitted  under the  foregoing  sentence and
is necessary to sell any REO  Property,  the Servicer  shall report  monthly to
the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property.

      Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Agreement,  if a  REMIC
election has been made,  no Mortgaged  Property held by a REMIC shall be rented
(or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise  used for the  production of
income  by or on  behalf  of the  related  trust or sold or  managed  in such a
manner or  pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such  Mortgaged  Property
to fail to qualify at any time as  "foreclosure  property"  within a meaning of
Section  860G(a)(8)  of  the  Code,  (ii)  subject  the  related  trust  to the
imposition   of  any  federal  or  state  income  taxes  on  "net  income  from
foreclosure  property"  with  respect  to such  Mortgaged  Property  within the
meaning  of  Section  860G(c)  of the  Code,  or (iii)  cause  the sale of such
Mortgaged  Property  to  result  in the  receipt  by the  related  trust or any
income from  non-permitted  assets as  described in Section  860F(a)  (2)(B) of
the Code,  unless the Servicer has agreed to  indemnify  and hold  harmless the
related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

      The Servicer  shall  deposit or cause to be  deposited,  on a daily basis
in each  Custodial  Account all revenues  received  with respect to the related
REO  Property  and shall  withdraw  therefrom  funds  necessary  for the proper
operation,  management and maintenance of the REO Property,  including the cost
of  maintaining  any hazard  insurance  pursuant to Section  4.10  hereof.  The
Servicer  shall  maintain  separate  records  with respect to each REO Property
identifying  all deposits and withdrawals  from the Custodial  Account for each
REO Property.

      The  Servicer  shall  furnish to the Owner on each  Remittance  Date,  an
operating  statement  for each REO Property  covering the operation of each REO
Property  for  the  previous   month.   Such  operating   statement   shall  be
accompanied by such other information as the Owner shall reasonably request.

      The Servicer  shall,  either  itself or through an agent  selected by the
Servicer,  and in  accordance  with the  Fannie Mae  Guide,  manage,  conserve,
protect  and  operate  each REO  Property  in the same  manner that it manages,
conserves,  protects  and  operates  other  foreclosed  property  for  its  own
account,  and in the same manner that similar  property in the same locality as
the REO Property is managed.  Each REO Disposition  shall be carried out by the
Servicer  at such  price and upon such  terms and  conditions  as the  Servicer
deems to be in the best  interest of the Owner.  The REO  Disposition  Proceeds
from  the  sale  of  the  REO  Property  shall  be  promptly  deposited  in the
Custodial  Account.  As soon as  practical  thereafter,  the  expenses  of such
sale shall be paid and the  Servicer  shall  reimburse  itself for any  related
Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.

      The  Servicer  shall  cause each REO  Property to be  inspected  promptly
upon the  acquisition  of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be
inspected at least  monthly  thereafter  or more  frequently as may be required
by the  circumstances.  The Servicer  shall make or cause the inspector to make
a written  report of each such  inspection.  Such reports  shall be retained in
the  Servicing  File and copies  thereof  shall be forwarded by the Servicer to
the Owner.

      Section 4.14.     Notification of Adjustments.

      With  respect  to each  Mortgage  Loan,  the  Servicer  shall  adjust the
Mortgage  Interest  Rate  on the  related  Interest  Rate  Adjustment  Date  in
compliance  with  requirements  of applicable law and the related  Mortgage and
Mortgage  Note.  The Servicer  shall  execute and deliver any and all necessary
notices  required under  applicable  law and the terms of the related  Mortgage
Note and  Mortgage  regarding  the  Mortgage  Interest  Rate  adjustments.  The
Servicer shall promptly,  upon written request  therefor,  deliver to the Owner
such   notifications   and  any  additional   applicable  data  regarding  such
adjustments   and  the  methods   used  to   calculate   and   implement   such
adjustments.  Upon the  discovery  by the  Servicer  or the  receipt  of notice
from the Owner  that the  Servicer  has  failed to adjust a  Mortgage  Interest
Rate in  accordance  with the terms of the related  Mortgage Note and Mortgage,
the Servicer shall  immediately  deposit in the Custodial  Account from its own
funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner thereby.

                             PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

      Section 5.01.     Remittances.

      On each  Remittance  Date,  the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all
amounts  credited to the  Custodial  Account as of the close of business on the
last  day of the  calendar  month  preceding  the  Determination  Date,  net of
charges against or withdrawals  from the Custodial  Account pursuant to Section
4.05,  except (a) Full  Principal  Prepayments  received  on or before the 15th
day of the month in which a  Remittance  Date  occurs  shall be remitted to the
Owner  on  the  Remittance   Date  of  such  month,   and  (b)  Full  Principal
Prepayments  received  after  the 15th day of the  month in which a  Remittance
Date occurs  shall be remitted  to the Owner on the next  following  Remittance
Date, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial  Account,  the
sum of (ii) all Monthly  Advances,  if any,  which the Servicer is obligated to
distribute   pursuant  to  Section  5.03  and  (iii)  all  Prepayment  Interest
Shortfalls  the  Servicer is  required  to make up  pursuant  to Section  4.04,
minus (iv) any amounts  attributable  to Monthly  Payments  collected after the
Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates  subsequent  to the last day of the
related Due Period,  which amounts shall be remitted on the related  Remittance
Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

      With respect to any  remittance  received by the Owner after the Business
Day on which  such  payment  was  due,  the  Servicer  shall  pay to the  Owner
interest  on any such late  payment at an annual  rate equal to the Prime Rate,
adjusted as of the date of each change,  plus two percentage  points, but in no
event  greater  than the maximum  amount  permitted  by  applicable  law.  Such
interest  shall be remitted to the Owner by the  Servicer on the date such late
payment is made and shall cover the period  commencing  with the day  following
such  Business  Day and ending with the  Business  Day on which such payment is
made,  both  inclusive.  The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall
not be  deemed an  extension  of time for  payment  or a waiver of any Event of
Default by the Servicer.

      Section 5.02.     Statements to the Owner and the Master Servicer.

      The  Servicer  shall  furnish  to the Owner and the  Master  Servicer  an
individual  Mortgage  Loan  accounting  report  (a  "Report"),  as of the  last
Business  Day of each month and the end of the related  Prepayment  Period,  as
applicable,  in the Servicer's  assigned loan number order to document Mortgage
Loan payment  activity on an individual  Mortgage  Loan basis.  With respect to
each  month,  such  Report  shall  be  received  by the  Owner  and the  Master
Servicer  no later  than the tenth  calendar  day of the  month of the  related
Remittance  Date  (or,  with  respect  to  information  as  to  Full  Principal
Prepayments  and prepayment  penalties no later than one (1) Business Day after
the end of each  Prepayment  Period),  a  report  in an Excel  (or  compatible)
electronic  format,  in such format as may be mutually  agreed upon by both the
Owner and the  Servicer,  and which shall provide the  information  required to
be contained in the monthly  statements to  certificateholders  as specified in
the related pooling and servicing  Agreement,  to the extent  applicable to the
Servicer.


                                      27
<PAGE>

      In addition,  the Servicer  shall provide to the Master  Servicer and the
Owner  such  other  information  known or  available  to the  Servicer  that is
necessary  in  order  to  provide  the   distribution   and  pool   performance
information as required  under  Regulation AB, as amended from time to time, as
determined  by the  Owner in its  sole  discretion.  The  Servicer  shall  also
provide a monthly report,  in the form of Exhibit E hereto,  or such other form
as is mutually  acceptable to the Servicer,  the Owner and the Master Servicer,
Exhibit  F with  respect  to  defaulted  mortgage  loans  and  Exhibit  K, with
respect to realized losses and gains, with each such report.

      The Servicer  shall prepare and file any and all  information  statements
or  other  filings  required  to  be  delivered  to  any  governmental   taxing
authority or to Owner or the Master  Servicer  pursuant to any  applicable  law
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.
In  addition,  the  Servicer  shall  provide the Owner and the Master  Servicer
with such  information  concerning  the Mortgage  Loans as is necessary for the
Owner and the Master  Servicer  to  prepare  its  federal  income tax return as
Owner and the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time.

      In addition,  not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar  year,
the  Servicer  shall  furnish  to each  Person  who was an Owner and the Master
Servicer  at any  time  during  such  calendar  year  an  annual  statement  in
accordance  with the  requirements  of applicable  federal income tax law as to
the  aggregate  of  remittances  of principal  and interest for the  applicable
portion of such year.

      Section 5.03.     Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

      Not later than the close of business on the Business Day  preceding  each
Remittance  Date,  the  Servicer  shall  deposit  in the  Custodial  Account an
amount equal to all payments not previously  advanced by the Servicer,  whether
or not deferred  pursuant to Section  4.01,  of Monthly  Payments,  adjusted to
the related  Mortgage Loan Remittance  Rate,  which are delinquent at the close
of business on the related  Determination Date; provided,  however, that in the
case of any  Option  ARM  Mortgage  Loan or  Mortgage  Loan  having a  Negative
Amortization  feature,  such deposit by the Servicer need not exceed  scheduled
monthly payment of interest due thereon;  and provided further,  however,  that
the amount of any such  deposit  may be  reduced by the Amount  Held for Future
Distribution  (as  defined  below)  then on deposit in the  Custodial  Account.
Any  portion of the Amount  Held for Future  Distribution  used to pay  Monthly
Advances  shall be  replaced  by the  Servicer  by deposit  into the  Custodial
Account on any  future  Remittance  Date to the extent  that the funds that are
available  in the  Custodial  Account  for  remittance  to the  Owner  on  such
Remittance  Date are less than the amount of  payments  required  to be made to
the Owner on such Remittance Date.

      The  "Amount  Held for Future  Distribution"  as to any  Remittance  Date
shall be the total of the amounts  held in the  Custodial  Account at the close
of business on the preceding  Determination  Date which were received after the
Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation  Proceeds,  Insurance Proceeds,  and
Principal  Prepayments  received or made in the month of such Remittance  Date,
and (ii)  payments  which  represent  early  receipt of  scheduled  payments of
principal  and  interest due on a date or dates  subsequent  to the related Due
Date.


                                      28
<PAGE>

      The  Servicer's  obligation  to  make  such  Monthly  Advances  as to any
Mortgage Loan will continue  through the final  disposition  or  liquidation of
the  Mortgaged  Property,   unless  the  Servicer  deems  such  advance  to  be
nonrecoverable  from  Liquidation   Proceeds,   REO  Disposition   Proceeds  or
Insurance  Proceeds  with  respect to the  applicable  Mortgage  Loan.  In such
latter   event,   the  Servicer   shall  deliver  to  the  Owner  an  Officer's
Certificate  of the  Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has
reviewed the related  Servicing  File and has obtained a recent  appraisal  and
has  made  the  reasonable  determination  that  any  additional  advances  are
nonrecoverable  from  Liquidation  or  Insurance  Proceeds  with respect to the
applicable Mortgage Loan.

      Section 5.04.     Liquidation Reports.

      Upon the  foreclosure  sale of any Mortgaged  Property or the acquisition
thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in-lieu  of  foreclosure,  the Servicer
shall submit to the Owner a liquidation  report with respect to such  Mortgaged
Property  in  such  form  as the  Servicer  and  the  Owner  shall  agree.  The
Servicer  shall also provide  reports on the status of REO Property  containing
such information as Owner may reasonably require.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                         GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

      Section 6.01.     Assumption Agreements.

      The Servicer  will, to the extent it has  knowledge of any  conveyance or
prospective  conveyance  by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged  Property  (whether by
absolute  conveyance or by contract of, sale,  and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain  liable under the Mortgage  Note and/or the  Mortgage),
exercise  its rights to  accelerate  the maturity of such  Mortgage  Loan under
any  "due-on-sale"  clause to the extent permitted by law;  provided,  however,
that the Servicer  shall not exercise any such rights if  prohibited  by law or
the  terms  of the  Mortgage  Note  from  doing so or if the  exercise  of such
rights  would  impair or  threaten  to impair any  recovery  under the  related
Primary  Mortgage  Insurance  Policy,  if  any.  If  the  Servicer   reasonably
believes  it is unable  under  applicable  law to  enforce  such  "due-on-sale"
clause, the Servicer,  will enter into an assumption  agreement with the person
to  whom  the  Mortgaged  Property  has  been  conveyed  or is  proposed  to be
conveyed,  pursuant  to which such person  becomes  liable  under the  Mortgage
Note and,  to the extent  permitted  by  applicable  state law,  the  Mortgagor
remains  liable  thereon.  Where an  assumption  is  allowed  pursuant  to this
Section  6.01,  the Servicer,  with the prior  consent of the primary  mortgage
insurer,  if any,  is  authorized  to enter into a  substitution  of  liability
agreement  with the person to whom the Mortgaged  Property has been conveyed or
is  proposed  to be  conveyed  pursuant  to which  the  original  mortgagor  is
released  from  liability  and such  Person is  substituted  as  mortgagor  and
becomes  liable  under the related  Mortgage  Note.  Any such  substitution  of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.


                                      29
<PAGE>

      In  connection  with any such  assumption or  substitution  of liability,
the Servicer  shall follow the  underwriting  practices  and  procedures of the
Fannie  Mae  Guide.   With  respect  to  an  assumption  or   substitution   of
liability,  the Mortgage  Interest Rate borne by the related  Mortgage Note and
the amount of the  Monthly  Payment  may not be  changed.  The  Servicer  shall
notify  the  Owner  that any  such  substitution  of  liability  or  assumption
agreement  has been  completed by  forwarding  to the Owner the original of any
such  substitution of liability or assumption  agreement,  which document shall
be added to the related  Mortgage Loan  Documents and shall,  for all purposes,
be  considered a part of such related  mortgage  file to the same extent as all
other  documents  and  instruments   constituting  a  part  thereof.  All  fees
collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption  or  substitution  of
liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

      Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  paragraphs  of this section or any other
provision  of  this  Agreement,  the  Servicer  shall  not be  deemed  to be in
default,  breach or any other violation of its obligations  hereunder by reason
of any  assumption  of a Mortgage  Loan by operation  of law or any  assumption
which the Servicer may be  restricted  by law from  preventing,  for any reason
whatsoever.  For  purposes  of this  Section  6.01,  the term  "assumption"  is
deemed  to  also  include  a sale  of the  Mortgaged  Property  subject  to the
Mortgage  that  is  not   accompanied  by  an  assumption  or  substitution  of
liability agreement.

      Section 6.02.     Satisfaction  of  Mortgages  and  Release  of  Mortgage
Loan Documents.

      Upon  the  payment  in full  of any  Mortgage  Loan,  the  Servicer  will
immediately  notify the Custodian with a certification  and request for release
by a Servicing Officer,  which  certification  shall include a statement to the
effect that all amounts  received in  connection  with such  payment  which are
required to be  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account  pursuant to Section 4.04
have been so  deposited,  and a request  for  delivery  to the  Servicer of the
portion of the Mortgage  Loan  Documents  held by the  Custodian.  Upon receipt
of such  certification  and request,  the Owner shall promptly release or cause
the Custodian to promptly  release the related  Mortgage Loan  Documents to the
Servicer  and the  Servicer  shall  prepare and deliver  for  execution  by the
Owner or at the  Owner's  option  execute  under  the  authority  of a power of
attorney  delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any  satisfaction  or release.
No expense  incurred in connection  with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

      In the event the  Servicer  satisfies  or  releases  a  Mortgage  without
having  obtained  payment in full of the  indebtedness  secured by the Mortgage
or  should it  otherwise  prejudice  any  right  the  Owner may have  under the
mortgage  instruments,  the Servicer,  upon written demand,  shall remit within
one Business  Day to the Owner the then  outstanding  principal  balance of the
related  Mortgage  Loan  by  deposit  thereof  in the  Custodial  Account.  The
Servicer  shall  maintain the Fidelity Bond  insuring the Servicer  against any
loss it may  sustain  with  respect  to any  Mortgage  Loan  not  satisfied  in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

      From time to time and as  appropriate  for the  servicing or  foreclosure
of the  Mortgage  Loans,  including  for the  purpose of  collection  under any
Primary Mortgage  Insurance  Policy,  upon request of the Servicer and delivery
to the  Custodian of a servicing  receipt  signed by a Servicing  Officer,  the
Custodian  shall  release the portion of the Mortgage  Loan  Documents  held by
the  Custodian to the  Servicer.  Such  servicing  receipt  shall  obligate the
Servicer  to  promptly  return  the  related  Mortgage  Loan  Documents  to the
Custodian,  when the need  therefor by the  Servicer no longer  exists,  unless
the Mortgage Loan has been  liquidated and the  Liquidation  Proceeds  relating
to the  Mortgage  Loan have been  deposited  in the  Custodial  Account or such
documents have been  delivered to an attorney,  or to a public trustee or other
public  official as required by law,  for  purposes of  initiating  or pursuing
legal  action  or  other  proceedings  for  the  foreclosure  of the  Mortgaged
Property  either  judicially or  non-judicially,  and the Servicer has promptly
delivered to the Owner or the  Custodian a certificate  of a Servicing  Officer
certifying  as to the name and  address of the  Person to which such  documents
were  delivered and the purpose or purposes of such  delivery.  Upon receipt of
a  certificate  of a Servicing  Officer  stating  that such  Mortgage  Loan was
liquidated,  the  servicing  receipt  shall  be  released  by the  Owner or the
Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.

      Section 6.03.     Servicing Compensation.

      As  compensation  for its  services  hereunder,  the  Servicer  shall  be
entitled  to withdraw  from the  Custodial  Account or to retain from  interest
payments on the  Mortgage  Loans the  amounts  provided  for as the  Servicer's
Servicing  Fee.  Additional  servicing  compensation  in the form of assumption
fees,  as provided in Section  6.01,  late payment  charges  (exclusive  of any
Prepayment  Charges)  and  other  ancillary  fees  shall  be  retained  by  the
Servicer  to  the  extent  not  required  to  be  deposited  in  the  Custodial
Account.  The  Servicer  shall be required to pay all  expenses  incurred by it
in  connection  with  its  servicing  activities  hereunder  and  shall  not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

      Section 6.04.     Annual    Statement    as   to    Compliance;    Annual
Certification.

            (a)   The  Servicer  will  deliver  to the  Owner  and  the  Master
Servicer,  not later than March 15th of each calendar  year  beginning in 2007,
an Officer's  Certificate (an "Annual Statement of Compliance")  stating, as to
each  signatory  thereof,  that (i) a review of the  activities of the Servicer
during the preceding  calendar year and of performance  under this Agreement or
other  applicable  servicing  agreement  has been  made  under  such  officer's
supervision  and (ii) to the best of such  officer's  knowledge,  based on such
review,   the  Servicer  has  fulfilled  all  of  its  obligations  under  this
Agreement or other  applicable  servicing  agreement  in all material  respects
throughout  such  year,  or, if there has been a failure  to  fulfill  any such
obligation  in any material  respect,  specifying  each such  failure  known to
such  officer  and the  nature  and  status of cure  provisions  thereof.  Such
Annual  Statement of Compliance  shall contain no  restrictions  or limitations
on its use.  Copies of such  statement  shall be  provided  by the  Servicer to
the  Owner  upon  request  and  by the  Owner  to any  Person  identified  as a
prospective  purchaser  of the Mortgage  Loans.  In the event that the Servicer
has  delegated  any  servicing  responsibilities  with  respect to the Mortgage
Loans to a  Subservicer,  the  Servicer  shall  deliver an Annual  Statement of
Compliance of the  Subservicer  as described  above as to each  Subservicer  as
and when required with respect to the Servicer.

            (b)   With  respect to the  Mortgage  Loans,  by March 15th of each
calendar year  beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer  shall execute and
deliver an  Officer's  Certificate  (an "Annual  Certification")  to the Owner,
the Master Servicer,  the Securities  Administrator,  and any related Depositor
for the  benefit  of each such  entity  and such  entity's  affiliates  and the
officers,   directors   and  agents  of  any  such  entity  and  such  entity's
affiliates,  in the form  attached  hereto as  Exhibit G. In the event that the
Servicer  has  delegated  any  servicing  responsibilities  with respect to the
Mortgage  Loans  to a  Subservicer  or a  Subcontractor,  to  the  extent  such
Subcontractor is  "participating  in the servicing  function"  pursuant to Item
1122 of Regulation  AB, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual  Certification  as
to each such Subservicer and  Subcontractor,  as and when required with respect
to the Servicer.


                                      31

      The Servicer  shall  indemnify and hold harmless the Master  Servicer and
its officers,  directors,  agents and  affiliates  from and against any losses,
damages,  penalties,  fines,  forfeitures,  reasonable  legal fees and  related
costs,  judgments  and other costs and expenses  arising out of or based upon a
breach  by  the  Servicer  or  any  of  its  officers,   directors,  agents  or
affiliates  of its  obligations  under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the
negligence,  bad faith or willful  misconduct  of the  Servicer  in  connection
therewith.  If the  indemnification  provided  for  herein  is  unavailable  or
insufficient  to hold harmless the Master  Servicer,  then the Servicer  agrees
that it shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master  Servicer
as a result  of the  losses,  claims,  damages  or  liabilities  of the  Master
Servicer in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to reflect the relative  fault
of the  Master  Servicer  on the one  hand  and the  Servicer  on the  other in
connection  with a breach of the  Servicer's  obligations  under  this  Section
6.04 or  Section  6.09 or the  Servicer's  negligence,  bad  faith  or  willful
misconduct in connection therewith.

      Upon  request  by the Owner or the Master  Servicer,  the  Servicer  will
deliver  to such  requesting  party a copy of the  audited  (if such  financial
statements  are available,  otherwise  unaudited)  financial  statements of the
Servicer for the most recent fiscal year of the Servicer.

      Section 6.05.     [Reserved]

      Section 6.06.     Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.

      The Owner  shall have the right to examine  and  audit,  at its  expense,
upon  reasonable  notice  to the  Servicer,  during  business  hours or at such
other times as might be  reasonable  under  applicable  circumstances,  any and
all  of  the  books,  records,   documentation  or  other  information  of  the
Servicer,  or held by another for the  Servicer or on its behalf or  otherwise,
which relate to the  performance  or  observance  by the Servicer of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

      The Servicer  shall  provide to the Owner and any  supervisory  agents or
examiners   representing  a  state  or  federal   governmental   agency  having
jurisdiction  over  the  Owner  access  to  any  documentation   regarding  the
Mortgage  Loans in the  possession of the Servicer which may be required by any
applicable  regulations.  Such access shall be afforded  without  charge,  upon
reasonable  request,  during  normal  business  hours and at the offices of the
Servicer,  and in accordance  with the applicable  federal or state  government
regulations.

      Section 6.07.     Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

      If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the  arrangement  under
which the  Mortgage  Loans and REO Property  are held,  the Servicer  shall not
take any  action,  cause the 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 the REMIC
as a  REMIC  or  (ii)  result  in  the  imposition  of a  tax  upon  the  REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited  transactions"  as defined
in  Section  860F(a)(2)  of the Code and the tax on  "contribution"  to a REMIC
set forth in Section  860G(d) of the Code unless the  Servicer  has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party  seeking to take such  actions)
to the  effect  that the  contemplated  action  will not  endanger  such  REMIC
status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

      Section 6.08.     Non-solicitation.

      The Servicer  shall not knowingly  conduct any  solicitation  exclusively
targeted to the  Mortgagors  for the purpose of  inducing  or  encouraging  the
early   prepayment  or  refinancing  of  the  related  Mortgage  Loans.  It  is
understood and agreed that  promotions  undertaken by the Servicer or any agent
or  affiliate  of the  Servicer  which are  directed to the  general  public at
large,  including,  without  limitation,  mass mailings  based on  commercially
acquired mailing lists,  newspaper,  radio and television  advertisements shall
not  constitute  solicitation  under this  section.  Nothing  contained  herein
shall  prohibit the Servicer from (i)  distributing  to Mortgagors  any general
advertising  including  information  brochures,  coupon books, or other similar
documentation   which  indicates   services  the  Servicer  offers,   including
refinances  or (ii)  providing  financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at
the Mortgagor's request.

      Section 6.09.     Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria.

      On  and  after   February  1,  2006,   the  Servicer  shall  service  and
administer,  and shall cause each  subservicer  to service or  administer,  the
Mortgage  Loans  in  accordance   with  all  applicable   requirements  of  the
Servicing Criteria.

      With respect to the Mortgage  Loans,  the Servicer  shall  deliver to the
Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer, the Securities  Administrator,  and
any  Depositor  on or before  March 15th of each  calendar  year  beginning  in
2007,  a report  (an  "Assessment  of  Compliance")  regarding  the  Servicer's
assessment  of  compliance  with the  Servicing  Criteria  during the preceding
calendar  year as required by Rules  13a-18 and 15d-18 of the  Exchange Act and
Item 1122 of Regulation  AB, or as otherwise  required by the Master  Servicer,
which as of the date hereof,  require a report by an authorized  officer of the
Servicer that contains the following:

            (a)   A  statement  by  such  officer  of  its  responsibility  for
assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

            (b)   A  statement  by such  officer  that  such  officer  used the
Servicing   Criteria  to  assess   compliance   with  the  Servicing   Criteria
applicable to the Servicer;

            (c)   An  assessment by such officer of the  Servicer's  compliance
with  the  applicable  Servicing  Criteria  for the  period  consisting  of the
preceding  calendar  year,  including  disclosure  of any material  instance of
noncompliance  with respect thereto during such period,  which assessment shall
be  based  on  the   activities  it  performs  with  respect  to   asset-backed
securities  transactions  taken as a whole  involving  the  Servicer,  that are
backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

            (d)   A statement  that a  registered  public  accounting  firm has
issued an  attestation  report on the  Servicer's  Assessment of Compliance for
the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and


                                      33
<PAGE>

            (e)   A statement as to which of the  Servicing  Criteria,  if any,
are not  applicable  to the  Servicer,  which  statement  shall be based on the
activities it performs  with respect to  asset-backed  securities  transactions
taken as a whole  involving  the  Servicer,  that are  backed by the same asset
type as the Mortgage Loans.

      Such report at a minimum  shall  address each of the  Servicing  Criteria
specified on Exhibit J hereto.

      With  respect  to the  Mortgage  Loans,  on or before  March 15th of each
calendar  year  beginning in 2007,  the Servicer  shall furnish to the Owner or
its  designee,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Securities  Administrator  and any
Depositor  a  report  (an   "Attestation   Report")  by  a  registered   public
accounting  firm that attests to, and reports on, the  Assessment of Compliance
made by the  Servicer,  as required by Rules  13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange
Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation  AB, or as otherwise  required by the Master
Servicer,  which  Attestation  Report must be made in accordance with standards
for  attestation  reports  issued or adopted by the Public  Company  Accounting
Oversight Board.

      The  Servicer  shall  cause  each  Subservicer,  and  each  Subcontractor
determined by the Servicer  pursuant to Section 11.15 to be  "participating  in
the servicing  function"  within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation  AB, to
deliver to the Owner, the Master  Servicer,  the Securities  Administrator  and
any Depositor an assessment of compliance and  accountants'  attestation as and
when provided in Section 6.09.

      Section 6.10.     Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

      The Owner  and the  Servicer  acknowledge  and  agree  that a purpose  of
clause  (g) of  Article  III,  Sections  5.02,  6.04,  6.09  and  10.02 of this
Agreement is to facilitate  compliance by the Owner and any Depositor  with the
provisions  of  Regulation  AB  and  related  rules  and   regulations  of  the
Commission.  None of the Owner,  the Master  Servicer  or any  Depositor  shall
exercise  its right to request  delivery of  information  or other  performance
under these  provisions  other than in good faith,  or for purposes  other than
compliance  with  the  Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act and the  rules  and
regulations  of the  Commission  thereunder.  The  Servicer  acknowledges  that
interpretations  of the  requirements  of  Regulation  AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive  guidance  provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among  participants in the asset-backed  securities  markets,  advice
of  counsel,  or  otherwise,  and agrees to comply  with  requests  made by the
Owner or any  Depositor in good faith for delivery of  information  under these
provisions  on the  basis of  evolving  interpretations  of  Regulation  AB. In
connection with any Pass-Through  Transfer,  the Servicer shall cooperate fully
with the Owner to  deliver  to the Owner  (including  any of its  assignees  or
designees)   and   any   Depositor,   any   and   all   statements,    reports,
certifications,  records and any other information  necessary in the good faith
determination  of the  Owner  or any  Depositor  to  permit  the  Owner or such
Depositor to comply with the  provisions of Regulation  AB,  together with such
disclosures  relating to the Servicer,  any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans,
or the  servicing of the Mortgage  Loans,  reasonably  believed by the Owner or
any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

                      REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

      Section 7.01.     Servicer   Shall  Provide   Information  as  Reasonably
Required.

      The Servicer  shall  furnish to the Owner upon  request,  during the term
of this  Agreement,  such  periodic,  special or other reports or  information,
whether or not  provided  for  herein,  as shall be  necessary,  reasonable  or
appropriate  with respect to the purposes of this  Agreement.  The Servicer may
negotiate  with the Owner for a  reasonable  fee for  providing  such report or
information,  unless (i) the  Servicer  is  required  to supply  such report or
information  pursuant  to any  other  section  of this  Agreement,  or (ii) the
report or information  has been requested in connection  with Internal  Revenue
Service  or  other  regulatory  agency   requirements.   All  such  reports  or
information  shall  be  provided  by  and in  accordance  with  all  reasonable
instructions  and  directions  given  by the  Owner.  The  Servicer  agrees  to
execute  and  deliver  all such  instruments  and take all such  action  as the
Owner,  from time to time,  may  reasonably  request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

                                 ARTICLE VIII
                                 THE SERVICER

      Section 8.01.     Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

      The Servicer  agrees to indemnify the Owner,  its successors and assigns,
any  agent  of the  Owner,  and the  Master  Servicer,  and  hold  each of such
Persons  harmless  from  and  against  any and  all  claims,  losses,  damages,
penalties,  fines,  forfeitures,  legal fees and related costs, judgments,  and
any other  costs,  fees and  expenses  that such  Person may sustain in any way
related  to the  failure of the  Servicer  to perform in any way its duties and
service  the  Mortgage  Loans  in  strict  compliance  with  the  terms of this
Agreement  and for breach of any  representation  or warranty  of the  Servicer
contained  herein.  The Servicer  shall  immediately  notify the Owner or other
indemnified  Person if a claim is made by a third  party  with  respect to this
Agreement  or the  Mortgage  Loans,  assume  (with the consent of the Owner and
such other Indemnified Person and with counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the
Owner and such  Person) 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 such other
indemnified  Person in  respect  of such  claim but  failure  to so notify  the
Owner and such  other  indemnified  Person  shall  not  limit  its  obligations
hereunder.  The Servicer  agrees that it will not enter into any  settlement of
any such claim  without  the  consent  of the Owner and such other  indemnified
Person unless such settlement  includes an  unconditional  release of the Owner
and such  other  indemnified  Person  from all  liability  that is the  subject
matter of such  claim.  The  provisions  of this  Section  8.01  shall  survive
termination of this Agreement.

      Section 8.02.     Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

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


                                      35
<PAGE>

      Any Person  into which the  Servicer  may be merged or  consolidated,  or
any  corporation  resulting  from any merger,  conversion or  consolidation  to
which the Servicer shall be a party,  or any Person  succeeding to the business
of the  Servicer  whether  or not  related  to  loan  servicing,  shall  be the
successor of the  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  surviving  Person  shall be an  institution  (i) having a GAAP net worth of
not less  than  $25,000,000,  (ii) the  deposits  of which are  insured  by the
FDIC,  or  which is a  HUD-approved  mortgagee  whose  primary  business  is in
origination  and servicing of first lien mortgage  loans,  and (iii) which is a
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.

      Section 8.03.     Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

      Neither the  Servicer  nor any of the  officers,  employees  or agents of
the  Servicer  shall be under any  liability  to the Owner 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  made in good  faith;  provided,
however,  that  this  provision  shall not  protect  the  Servicer  or any such
person  against any breach of warranties  or  representations  made herein,  or
failure to perform in any way its  obligations in compliance  with any standard
of care set forth in this  Agreement,  or any liability  which would  otherwise
be  imposed  by  reason  of gross  negligence  or any  breach  of the terms and
conditions  of this  Agreement.  The  Servicer  and any  officer,  employee  or
agent of the  Servicer  may  rely in good  faith  on any  document  of any kind
prima  facie  properly  executed  and  submitted  by the Owner  respecting  any
matters  arising  hereunder.  The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to
appear in,  prosecute  or defend any legal action  which is not  incidental  to
its duties to service the  Mortgage  Loans in  accordance  with this  Agreement
and  which  in its  opinion  may  involve  it in  any  expenses  or  liability;
provided,  however,  that the  Servicer  may,  with the  consent  of the Owner,
which consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  undertake any such action
which it may deem  necessary or desirable  with respect to this  Agreement  and
the rights and duties of the  parties  hereto.  In such event,  the  reasonable
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability  resulting  therefrom
shall be expenses,  costs and  liabilities  for which the Owner will be liable,
and  the  Servicer  shall  be  entitled  to be  reimbursed  therefor  from  the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

      Section 8.04.     Servicer Not to Resign.

      The  Servicer  shall not resign from the  obligations  and duties  hereby
imposed on it except by mutual  consent of the  Servicer  and the Owner or upon
the  determination  that its duties hereunder are no longer  permissible  under
applicable law and such  incapacity  cannot be cured by the Servicer.  Any such
determination  permitting  the  resignation  of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect  delivered  to the Owner which  Opinion
of Counsel  shall be in form and  substance  acceptable  to the Owner.  No such
resignation  shall become  effective  until a successor  shall have assumed the
Servicer's  responsibilities  and obligations  hereunder in the manner provided
in Section 11.01.

      Section 8.05.     No Transfer of Servicing.

      With  respect to the  retention  of the  Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans  hereunder,  the  Servicer  acknowledges  that  the  Owner  has  acted in
reliance  upon  the  Servicer's   independent   status,  the  adequacy  of  its
servicing facilities,  plan, personnel,  records and procedures, its integrity,
reputation  and  financial  standing and the  continuance  thereof.  Without in
any way  limiting  the  generality  of this  section,  the  Servicer  shall not
either  assign this  Agreement  or the  servicing  hereunder  or  delegate  its
rights  or  duties  hereunder  or any  portion  thereof,  or sell or  otherwise
dispose of all or  substantially  all of its  property  or assets,  without the
prior written  approval of the Owner,  which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld;  provided  that  the  Servicer  may  assign  the  Agreement  and  the
servicing  hereunder  without  the  consent  of  Owner to an  affiliate  of the
Servicer  to which all  servicing  of the  Servicer  is assigned so long as (i)
such  affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac  approved  servicer and (ii) if
it is  intended  that such  affiliate  be spun off to the  shareholders  of the
Servicer,  such  affiliate  have a GAAP net worth of at least  $25,000,000  and
(iii) such  affiliate  shall deliver to the Owner a  certification  pursuant to
which such  affiliate  shall agree to be bound by the terms and  conditions  of
this  Agreement  and shall  certify  that such  affiliate  is a Fannie  Mae and
Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                                    DEFAULT

      Section 9.01.     Events of Default.

      In case one or more of the  following  Events of Default by the  Servicer
shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

      (i)   any  failure  by the  Servicer  to remit to the Owner  any  payment
required  to be  made  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement  which  continues
unremedied  for one (1) Business  Day after  written  notice  thereof (it being
understood  that this  subparagraph  shall  not  affect  Servicer's  obligation
pursuant to Section  5.01 to pay default  interest on any  remittance  received
by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or

      (ii)  any  failure  on the  part  of the  Servicer  duly  to  observe  or
perform in any material  respect any other of the  covenants or  agreements  on
the  part of the  Servicer  set  forth  in this  Agreement  (other  than  those
described in clause (ix)  hereof),  the breach of which has a material  adverse
effect and which  continue  unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that
such  number  of days  shall be  fifteen  in the case of a  failure  to pay any
premium  for  any  insurance  policy  required  to  be  maintained  under  this
Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material  adverse  effect)
after the date on which written  notice of such failure,  requiring the same to
be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; 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,  bankruptcy,  readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets  and  liabilities  or  similar  proceedings,  or for the  winding-up  or
liquidation  of its affairs,  shall have been entered  against the Servicer and
such decree or order  shall have  remained  in force  undischarged  or unstayed
for a period of sixty days; or


                                      37
<PAGE>

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

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

      (vi)  the  Servicer  ceases  to be  approved  by  either  Fannie  Mae  or
Freddie  Mac (to the extent  such  entities  are then  operating  in a capacity
similar to that in which they  operate on the date  hereof) as a mortgage  loan
servicer  for  more  than  thirty  days to the  extent  such  entities  perform
similar functions; or

      (vii) the   Servicer   attempts   to  assign   its  right  to   servicing
compensation  hereunder  or the Servicer  attempts,  without the consent of the
Owner,  to  sell  or  otherwise  dispose  of  all or  substantially  all of its
property   or  assets   or  to  assign   this   Agreement   or  the   servicing
responsibilities  hereunder or to delegate its duties  hereunder or any portion
thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or

     (viii) the   Servicer  ceases  to  be  qualified  to transact  business in
any  jurisdiction  where it is currently so  qualified,  but only to the extent
such   non-qualification   materially  and  adversely  affects  the  Servicer's
ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

      (ix)  failure by the Servicer to duly  perform,  within the required time
period,  its  obligations  under  Section  6.04,  6.09  or any of  clauses  (v)
through (viii) of Section 10.02;

then,  and in each and every  such case,  so long as an Event of Default  shall
not have been  remedied,  the Owner,  by notice in writing to the Servicer may,
in  addition to whatever  rights the Owner may have under  Section  8.01 and at
law  or  equity  to  damages,   including   injunctive   relief  and   specific
performance,  terminate all the rights and  obligations of the Servicer (and if
the  Servicer  is  servicing  any  of  the  Mortgage  Loans  in a  Pass-Through
Transfer,  appoint a successor  servicer  reasonably  acceptable  to the Master
Servicer for such  Pass-Through  Transfer)  under this  Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds  thereof without  compensating the Servicer
for the  same.  On or  after  the  receipt  by the  Servicer  of  such  written
notice,  all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement,  whether
with respect to the Mortgage  Loans or  otherwise,  shall pass to and be vested
in the successor  appointed  pursuant to Section  11.01.  Upon written  request
from the Owner,  the Servicer shall prepare,  execute and deliver,  any and all
documents  and other  instruments,  place in such  successor's  possession  all
Servicing  Files,  and do or accomplish  all other acts or things  necessary or
appropriate  to effect the purposes of such notice of  termination,  whether to
complete the transfer and  endorsement  or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related  documents,   or  otherwise,   at  the  Servicer's  sole  expense.  The
Servicer  agrees to  cooperate  with the Owner and such  successor in effecting
the  termination  of the  Servicer's  responsibilities  and  rights  hereunder,
including,   without   limitation,   the   transfer  to  such   successor   for
administration  by it of all cash  amounts  which shall at the time be credited
by the  Servicer  to the  Custodial  Account or Escrow  Account  or  thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.


                                      38
<PAGE>

      The Servicer shall  promptly  reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the
Owner,  such as a master  servicer) and any Depositor,  as applicable,  for all
reasonable   expenses  incurred  by  the  Owner  (or  such  designee)  or  such
Depositor,  as such are incurred,  in connection  with the  termination  of the
Servicer as servicer and the  transfer of servicing of the Mortgage  Loans to a
successor  servicer,  if the  termination  and/or  transfer of servicing is for
cause related to a servicer  default.  The provisions of this  paragraph  shall
not limit  whatever  rights the Owner or any  Depositor  may have  under  other
provisions of this  Agreement  and/or any applicable  Reconstitution  Agreement
or  otherwise,  whether  in equity or at law,  such as an action  for  damages,
specific performance or injunctive relief.

      Section 9.02.     Waiver of Defaults.

      The Owner may waive only by written  notice any  default by the  Servicer
in the  performance of its  obligations  hereunder and its  consequences.  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 in writing.

                                   ARTICLE X
                                  TERMINATION

      Section 10.01.    Termination.

      The respective  obligations  and  responsibilities  of the Servicer shall
terminate  upon:  (i) the later of the final payment or other  liquidation  (or
any  advance  with  respect   thereto)  of  the  last   Mortgage  Loan  or  the
disposition   of  all  REO  Property  and  the  remittance  of  all  funds  due
hereunder;  or (ii)  by  mutual  consent  of the  Servicer  and  the  Owner  in
writing;   or  (iii)  termination  by  the  Owner  pursuant  to  Section  9.01.
Simultaneously  with  any  such  termination  and  the  transfer  of  servicing
hereunder,   the  Servicer   shall  be  entitled  to  be  reimbursed   for  any
outstanding Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances.

      Section 10.02.    Cooperation of Servicer with a Reconstitution.

      The  Servicer  and the Owner  agree  that with  respect to some or all of
the  Mortgage  Loans,  on or after the  related  closing  date,  on one or more
dates (each a  "Reconstitution  Date") at the Owner's  sole  option,  the Owner
may effect a sale (each,  a  "Reconstitution")  of some or all of the  Mortgage
Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

      (a)   one or more  third  party  purchasers  in one or more in whole loan
transfers (each, a "Whole Loan Transfer"); or


                                      39
<PAGE>

      (b)   one or more  trusts or other  entities  to be formed as part of one
or more Pass-Through Transfers.

      The Servicer  agrees to execute in connection  with any agreements  among
the Owner,  the  Servicer,  and any  servicer in  connection  with a Whole Loan
Transfer, an assignment,  assumption and recognition agreement,  or, at Owner's
request, a seller's  warranties and servicing  agreement or a participation and
servicing  agreement  or similar  agreement  in form and  substance  reasonably
acceptable to the parties,  and in connection with a Pass-Through  Transfer,  a
pooling and  servicing  agreement in form and substance  reasonably  acceptable
to the  parties.  It is  understood  that  any such  Reconstitution  Agreements
will not  contain  any greater  obligations  on the part of  Servicer  than are
contained in this Agreement.

      With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each  Pass-Through  Transfer
entered  into by the Owner,  the Servicer  agrees (1) to  cooperate  fully with
the  Owner  and  any  prospective  purchaser  with  respect  to all  reasonable
requests  and due  diligence  procedures;  (2) to execute,  deliver and perform
all  Reconstitution  Agreements  required  by the  Owner;  (3) to  restate  the
representations   and  warranties  set  forth  in  this  Agreement  as  of  the
settlement  or closing date in connection  with such  Reconstitution  (each,  a
"Reconstitution Date").

      In addition,  the Servicer  shall provide to such servicer or issuer,  as
the case may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution:

      (i)   any  and  all   information   and   appropriate   verification   of
information  which  may  be  reasonably  available  to  the  Servicer,  whether
through  letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise,  as the Owner or any
such other participant shall request upon reasonable demand;

      (ii)  such additional representations,  warranties,  covenants,  opinions
of counsel,  letters from auditors,  and  certificates  of public  officials or
officers of the  Servicer as are  reasonably  agreed upon by the  Servicer  and
the Owner or any such other participant;

      (iii) within  5   Business   Days  after   request  by  the  Owner,   the
information  with  respect to the  Servicer  (as  servicer) as required by Item
1108(b) and (c) of  Regulation  AB, a summary of the  requirements  of which as
of the  date  hereof  is  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  I for  convenience  of
reference  only, as determined  by Owner in its sole  discretion.  In the event
that the Servicer has  delegated any  servicing  responsibilities  with respect
to the  Mortgage  Loans  to a  Subservicer,  the  Servicer  shall  provide  the
information required pursuant to this clause with respect to the Subservicer;

provided,  by way of clarification,  that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be
construed  solely  by  reference  to the  Servicer  Information  and not to any

securities,  without regard to whether the Servicer  Information or any portion
thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

      (ii) any breach by the  Servicer of its  obligations  under this  Section
10.02,  including  particularly any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or
any   Subcontractor   to  deliver  any  information,   report,   certification,

meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;


                                      42
<PAGE>

      (iii) any breach by the  Servicer of a  representation  or  warranty  set
forth in Section Article III or in a writing  furnished  pursuant to clause (h)

that it shall  contribute  to the amount  paid or  payable by such  Indemnified
Party as a result of any claims,  losses,  damages or  liabilities  incurred by
such  Indemnified  Party in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to reflect the
relative  fault of such  Indemnified  Party on the one hand and the Servicer on
the other.

      In the case of any failure of performance  described  above, the Servicer
shall  promptly  reimburse the Owner,  any Depositor,  as applicable,  and each

material  not  delivered  pursuant to this  Section or Section  6.04 or Section
6.09 as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

      This  indemnification  shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Transfer  or Pass  Through  Transfer  shall be  subject to this  Agreement  and

and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

subject  to the  supervision  of the Master  Servicer,  which  Master  Servicer
shall be obligated to ensure that the Servicer  services the Mortgage  Loans in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement.  The  Master  Servicer,
acting on  behalf  of the  Owner,  shall  have the same  rights as the Owner to
enforce  the  obligations  of the  Servicer  under this  Agreement.  The Master
Servicer  shall be  entitled to  terminate  the rights and  obligations  of the
Servicer  under this  Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any
of its  obligations  under this Agreement if such failure  constitutes an Event
of  Default  as  provided  in  Article  IX of this  Agreement.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary,  in no event shall the Master  Servicer assume any of
the obligations of the Owner under this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XI
                           MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      Section 11.01.    Successor to the Servicer.

      Prior  to  termination  of the  Servicer's  responsibilities  and  duties
under this Agreement  pursuant to Sections 8.04,  9.01 or 10.01(ii),  the Owner
shall  (i)  succeed  to and  assume  all of  the  Servicer's  responsibilities,
rights,  duties  and  obligations  under  this  Agreement,  or (ii)  appoint  a
successor  having  the  characteristics  set forth in Section  8.02  hereof and
which  shall  succeed to all  rights  and  assume all of the  responsibilities,
duties  and  liabilities  of the  Servicer  under this  Agreement  prior to the
termination of the Servicer's  responsibilities,  duties and liabilities  under
this  Agreement.  In  connection  with such  appointment  and  assumption,  the
Owner may make such  arrangements  for the  compensation  of such successor out
of payments  on Mortgage  Loans as the Owner and such  successor  shall  agree.
In the event  that the  Servicer's  duties,  responsibilities  and  liabilities
under  this  Agreement  should be  terminated  pursuant  to the  aforementioned
sections,  the  Servicer  shall  discharge  such  duties  and  responsibilities
during the  period  from the date it  acquires  knowledge  of such  termination
until  the  effective  date  thereof  with the same  degree  of  diligence  and
prudence  which it is obligated  to exercise  under this  Agreement,  and shall
take no  action  whatsoever  that  might  impair  or  prejudice  the  rights or
financial  condition  of its  successor.  The  resignation  or  removal  of the
Servicer  pursuant to the  aforementioned  sections shall not become  effective
until a successor  shall be appointed  pursuant to this section and shall in no
event  relieve  the  Servicer  of  the   representations  and  warranties  made
pursuant to Article III and the remedies  available to the Owner under  Section
8.01, it being  understood  and agreed that the  provisions of such Article III
and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer  notwithstanding  any such
resignation  or  termination  of the  Servicer,  or  the  termination  of  this
Agreement.

      Any successor  appointed as provided  herein shall  execute,  acknowledge
and  deliver to the  Servicer  and to the Owner an  instrument  accepting  such
appointment,  whereupon such  successor  shall become fully vested with all the
rights,  powers, duties,  responsibilities,  obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer,  with  like  effect  as  if  originally  named  as a  party  to  this
Agreement.  Any  termination  or  resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement
pursuant  to Section  8.04,  9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the
Owner may have against the Servicer  arising prior to any such  termination  or
resignation.

      The Servicer  shall  promptly  deliver to the  successor the funds in the
Custodial  Account and the Escrow  Account and the Servicing  Files and related
documents and  statements  held by it hereunder and the Servicer  shall account
for all funds.  The Servicer  shall  execute and deliver such  instruments  and
do such  other  things  all as may  reasonably  be  required  to more fully and
definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights,  powers,  duties,
responsibilities,  obligations and  liabilities of the Servicer.  The successor
shall  make such  arrangements  as it may deem  appropriate  to  reimburse  the
Servicer for  unrecovered  Monthly  Advances and Servicing  Advances  which the
successor  retains  hereunder and which would  otherwise have been recovered by
the  Servicer  pursuant  to  this  Agreement  but for  the  appointment  of the
successor servicer.


                                      44
<PAGE>

      Upon a  successor's  acceptance  of  appointment  as such,  the  Servicer
shall notify the Owner of such appointment.

      All reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred in connection with replacing
the  Servicer  upon its  resignation  or the  termination  of the  Servicer  in
accordance with the terms of this  Agreement,  including,  without  limitation,
(i) all legal  costs and  expenses  and all due  diligence  costs and  expenses
associated  with an evaluation of the potential  termination of the Servicer as
a result of an Event of  Default  and (ii) all costs  and  expenses  associated
with the complete  transfer of servicing,  including  all  servicing  files and
all  servicing  data and the  completion,  correction or  manipulation  of such
servicing  data as may be  required  by the  successor  servicer to correct any
errors or  insufficiencies  in the  servicing  data or  otherwise to enable the
successor  service  to  service  the  Mortgage  Loans in  accordance  with this
Agreement,  shall be payable on demand by the resigning or terminated  Servicer
without any right of reimbursement therefor.

      Section 11.02.    Amendment.

      This  Agreement  may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the
Owner by written agreement signed by the Servicer and the Owner.

      Section 11.03.    Recordation of Agreement.

      To the extent  permitted by applicable  law, this Agreement is subject to
recordation  in all  appropriate  public  offices for real property  records in
all the  counties  or other  comparable  jurisdictions  in which any of all the
properties   subject  to  the  Mortgages   are  situated,   and  in  any  other
appropriate  public  recording  office or  elsewhere,  such  recordation  to be
effected  by the  Servicer  at the Owner's  expense on  direction  of the Owner
accompanied  by an  opinion of  counsel  to the  effect  that such  recordation
materially and  beneficially  affects the interest of the Owner or is necessary
for the administration or servicing the Mortgage Loans.

      Section 11.04.    Governing Law.

      THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND  CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH
THE  INTERNAL  LAWS  OF  THE  STATE  OF  NEW  YORK  WITHOUT  GIVING  EFFECT  TO
