Files prior to the Closing Date, prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller
shall (a) deliver to the Custodian in escrow, for examination with respect to

File, including the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or
(b) make the related Mortgage File available to the Initial Purchaser for
examination at the Seller's offices or such other location as shall otherwise be
agreed upon by the Initial Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be
made by the Initial Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or
after the related Closing Date. If the Initial Purchaser makes such examination
prior to the related Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not
conform to the terms of the related Confirmation or the Initial Purchaser's
underwriting standards, such Mortgage Loans may, at the Initial Purchaser's
option, be rejected for purchase by the Initial Purchaser. If not purchased by

Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Initial Purchaser's (or

provided for in this Agreement.

         SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser.

         Subsection 6.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing

         The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price,
shall execute and deliver to the Initial Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 4. The Servicing File retained by the Seller with respect to each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in
the Seller's computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the
contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this
Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase
of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04.

         Subsection 6.02 Books and Records.

         Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the
related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser, the
Custodian or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall
designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage
and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the
appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising
out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by
the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage
Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more
designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on
or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be received
and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the assignee
of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the
sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller's business
records, tax returns and financial statements.

         Subsection 6.03 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

         Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement to be executed among and delivered
by the Initial Purchaser, the Custodian and the Seller prior to the Initial
Closing Date, the Seller shall from time to time in connection with each Closing
Date, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing Date, deliver and
release to the Custodian those Mortgage Loan Documents as required by the
Custodial Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased and sold
on the related Closing Date and set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule
delivered with such Mortgage Loan Documents.

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

         The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement for the
related Closing Date, as evidenced by the Trust Receipt and Initial
Certification of the Custodian in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement.
The Seller shall be responsible for maintaining the Custodial Agreement during
the Interim Servicing Period. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be
paid by the Seller.

         The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian with a
certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two
weeks of 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 ninety
days of its submission for recordation.

         (iii)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and
the performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not

<PAGE>

         (xi)     The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

         Subsection 7.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual
                         Mortgage Loans.

         The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to
each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:

         (i)      The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule is complete, true and correct;

         (ii)     The Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set
forth in the related Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related
Mortgage Loan Package as set forth in the related Confirmation are true and
correct, provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the terms
of any Confirmation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control;

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

         (iii)    All payments required to be made up to the close of business
on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note
have been made; the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the
related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no
delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor
thereunder since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

         (iv)     There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges,
sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

         (v)      The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the
Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been
approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the
title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or
in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the
insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to
the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;

         (vi)     The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;

         (vii)    All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC 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 the Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a
standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as
mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is
in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued
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 Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA
and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to
do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;

                                      -16-

including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement
procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal
credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans have been complied with;

         (ix)     The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, 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 satisfaction, cancellation,
subordination, rescission or release;

         (x)      The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property
subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being 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 which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property, and (c) 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, existing and enforceable first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and
the Seller 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 secure debt or other security
instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

         (xi)     The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms;

         (xii)    All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;

         (xiii)   The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee
to advance additional funds 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 have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

         (xiv)    The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell
the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

         (xv)     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) in compliance with any
and all applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of
the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

         (xvi)    The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title

original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the

exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the

with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the
Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the
Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to
become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;

         (xxxiii) No Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination in excess of 95% or
such other percentage set forth in the related Confirmation Each Mortgage Loan

the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property as required by FNMA. All provisions of such Primary Insurance
Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to

writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. No Mortgagor was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed)

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and

1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;

         (lxi)    No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage
Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost

Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage
Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have
qualified for a for a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage
lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator, the Mortgage Loan's
originator referred the Mortgagor's application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;

         (lxii)   The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit
for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate
the Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such
underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's equity
in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan; and

         Subsection 7.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

         It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans
to the Purchaser 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 lack of examination of any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller 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

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the
related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a
particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other.

         Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and
adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, the Seller
shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects
and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's
option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that
a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection
7.01 and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans
shall, at the Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase
Price. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the
Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its
place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided that such
substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing
Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a
date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished (i) during the
Interim Servicing Period by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of
the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled
Distribution Date and (ii) following the Interim Servicing Period, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds on the repurchase date to an account
designated by the Purchaser.

         At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage
Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the
Custodian relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Repurchase
Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously
with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has
taken place. Upon such repurchase the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be
amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement.

         As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such
substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by the
Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The
Seller 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 will be
retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in
the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such
substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

         For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is
less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage
Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of
substitution). An amount equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall
multiplied by the Repurchase Price shall be distributed by the Seller in the
month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the
date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the
Custodial Account an amount equal to such amount.

         In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a
breach of the Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Section
7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in
this Subsection 7.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to
indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.

         Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or
7.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the
relevant provisions of this Agreement.

         Subsection 7.04 Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

         In the event that (i) the first Due Date for a Mortgage Loan is
subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the initial Monthly Payment is not made
within thirty (30) days of such Due Date, (ii) a Monthly Payment due prior to
the related Cut-off Date is not made within thirty (30) days of the related Due
Date; or (iii) the principal balance due on a Mortgage Loan is paid in full
within three months following the related Closing Date, then, in each such case,
the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price,
which shall be paid as provided for in Subsection 7.03.

         SECTION 8. Closing.

         The closing for each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the
related Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, the closing shall be either: by
telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted
in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.

                                      -26-

                  notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default
                  under this Agreement;

         (b)      the Initial Purchaser shall have received, or the Initial
                  Purchaser's attorneys shall have received in escrow, all

         SECTION 12. Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion under This

                  purchasers;

         (2)      to execute all Reconstitution Agreements provided that each of
                  the Seller and the Purchaser is given an opportunity to review
                  and reasonably negotiate in good faith the content of such
                  documents not specifically referenced or provided for herein;

         (3)      with respect to any Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through
                  Transfer, the Seller shall make the representations and
                  warranties regarding the Seller and, if such Whole Loan
                  Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer occurs within 12 months of
                  the Closing Date or such later period as specified in the

                  Transfer, modified to the extent necessary to accurately
                  reflect the pool statistics of the Mortgage Loans as of the
                  date of such Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer and
                  any events or circumstances existing subsequent to the related
                  Closing Date(s);

                  other offering material such publicly available information
                  regarding the Seller, its financial condition and its mortgage
                  loan delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience and any
                  additional information requested by the Purchaser, and to
                  deliver to the Purchaser any similar non public, unaudited
                  financial information, in which case the Purchaser shall bear
                  the cost of having such information audited by certified
                  public accountants if the Purchaser desires such an audit, or
                  as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Purchaser and
                  which the Seller is capable of providing without unreasonable
                  effort or expense, and to indemnify the Purchaser and its
                  affiliates for material misstatements contained in such
                  information and material omissions from such information;

         (5)      to deliver to the Purchaser and to any Person designated by

                  Purchaser; and

         (6)      to deliver to the Purchaser, and to any Person designated by
                  the Purchaser, such legal documents and in-house Opinions of
                  Counsel as are customarily delivered by originators or
                  servicers, as the case may be, and reasonably determined by
                  the Purchaser to be necessary in connection with Whole Loan
                  Transfers or Pass-Through Transfers, as the case may be, such
                  in-house Opinions of Counsel for a Pass-Through Transfer to be
                  in the form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, it being
                  understood that the cost of any opinions of outside special
                  counsel that may be required for a Whole Loan Transfer or
                  Pass-Through Transfer, as the case may be, shall be the
                  responsibility of the Purchaser.

         SECTION 13. The Seller.

         Subsection 13.01 Additional Indemnification by the Seller.

         In addition to the indemnification provided in Subsection 7.03, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold the Purchaser harmless against any
and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement including but not limited
to its obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement
entered into pursuant to Section 12.

         Subsection 13.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

         The Seller shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of its
formation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

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

         Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller,
shall be the successor of the Seller 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 whose deposits are insured
by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage
loans, shall be a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer and shall satisfy any
requirements of Section 16 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to
the Seller.

         Subsection 13.03 Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

         Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the
Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith in connection with the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller 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 Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller 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 Seller shall not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is
not incidental to its obligation to sell or duty to service the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its
incurring any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller 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 legal expenses and costs of such action
and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
for which the Purchaser shall be liable, the Seller shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such
expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to the Seller's indemnification
under Subsections 7.03 or 13.01.

         Subsection 13.04 Seller Not to Resign.

         The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the
Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its servicing duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity
cannot be cured by the Seller in which event the Seller may resign as servicer.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller as servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to
the Purchaser and which shall be provided at the cost of the Seller. No such
resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the
Seller's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in
Section 16.

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

         Subsection 13.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

         With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage
Loans during the Interim Servicing Period, the Seller acknowledges that the
Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller'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 Seller 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 Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

         SECTION 14. Default.

         Subsection 14.01 Events of Default.

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

         (i)      any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any
    payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which
    continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon
    which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
    shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

         (ii)     failure on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform
    in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part
    of the Seller set forth in this Agreement or in the Custodial Agreement
    which continues 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)
    after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
    to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser or by
    the Custodian; 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,
    marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
    winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against
    the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force
    undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

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

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

         (v)      the Seller 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)     failure by the Seller to be in compliance with the "doing
    business" or licensing laws of any jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property
    is located; or

         (vii)    the Seller ceases to meet the qualifications of either a FNMA
    or FHLMC seller/servicer; or

         (viii)   the Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing
    compensation hereunder or the Seller attempts, without the consent of the
    Purchaser, 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;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in
addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights
and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement. On or after the
receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Seller to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement shall on the date set
forth in such notice pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant
to Section 16.

         Subsection 14.02 Waiver of Defaults.

         The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller 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.

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

         SECTION 15. Termination.

         The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, as
servicer, shall terminate at the expiration of the Interim Servicing Period
unless terminated on an earlier date at the option of the Purchaser or pursuant
to Section 14. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any
such termination, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all
documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser's possession all
Mortgage 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 Seller's sole expense. The Seller agrees
to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination
of the Seller's responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, 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 Seller to the
Custodial Account, REO Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.

         SECTION 16. Successor to the Seller.

         Prior to termination of Seller's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12,14 or 15, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to
and assume all of the Seller's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the
Seller as servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree. In the event that the Seller's duties, responsibilities and liabilities
as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned Sections, the Seller 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 the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Seller as
interim servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 16 and
shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the
Purchaser under Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, it being understood and agreed that the
provisions of such Subsections 7.01,7.02 and 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable
to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller,
or the termination of this Agreement.

         Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement and
the Custodial Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume,
and Seller shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising
out of the Seller's acts as servicer. Any termination of the Seller as servicer
pursuant to

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

Section 12,14 or 15 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have
against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation or
remedies with respect to such claims.

         The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the
Custodial Account, REO Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and
related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall
account for all funds. The Seller 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 Seller as servicer. The
successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the
Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended as servicer pursuant to this
Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would
otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for
the appointment of the successor servicer.

         SECTION 17. Financial Statements.

         The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's
marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to
prospective purchasers the Seller's financial statements for the most recently
completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The
Seller also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent
any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon
request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The
Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the
Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller also shall make
available information on its servicing performance with respect to mortgage
loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

         The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial,
accounting, origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of
answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent
developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices
or the financial statements of the Seller.

         SECTION 18. Mandatory Delivery: Grant of Security Interest.

         The sale and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the related
Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the
related Confirmation, it being specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Initial Purchaser for the
losses and damages incurred by the Initial Purchaser (including damages to
prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's
failure to deliver each of the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage
Loans otherwise acceptable to the Initial Purchaser on or before the related
Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a
continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and
instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the

Mortgage Loans in custody for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial

Agreement and the related Confirmation, and (ii) obligation to pay the related

                  Attn: Mr. Steve Schnall - President

         SECTION 20. Severability Clause.

         Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction,
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any
party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the
parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the
economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

         SECTION 21. Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 22. Governing Law.

         The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law provisions and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent
preempted by Federal law.

         SECTION 23. Intention of the Parties.

         It is the intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is
purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt
instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto
each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The
Initial Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the
related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage
Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the
Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made
by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such review.

         SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns.

         This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and
assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement
to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a
sale or financing and to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of
any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred. Upon any such assignment, the Person
to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of
the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or
Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the
Seller and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the
Seller and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan
or Loans. In the event that this Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the
servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the
rights and benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall
inure to the benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is
transferred and the Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the
Mortgage Loan has been transferred; provided that, the right to require a
Mortgage Loan to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or
7.04 shall be retained solely by the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be
assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the
consent of the Purchaser.

         SECTION 25. Waivers.

         No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless
such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom
such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

         SECTION 26. Exhibits.

         The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part
hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

         The Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action to
solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan following the date hereof or
provide information to any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any
Mortgage Loan; provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude the Seller from
engaging in solicitations to the general public by newspaper, radio, television
or other media which are not directed toward the Mortgagors or from refinancing
the Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without solicitation, contacts the
Seller to request the refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan.

regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

         SECTION 30. Further Agreements.

         The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the
other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or

   HSBC Bank USA, National City Bank of Kentucky, HSBC Bank USA, as Swingline
Lender, Secured Party, National City Bank of Kentucky, as Documentation Agent
and The New York Mortgage Company LLC ("Borrower") are parties to Credit and
Security Agreement dated as of December 15, 2003 (as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the Credit Agreement). All capitalized terms
used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.

   1. SUBORDINATION. Creditor, for value received, hereby subordinates an
indebtedness of Twelve Million One Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Five Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($12,132,550) together with all extensions or renewals thereof
and interest thereon (Subordinated Indebtedness) now owing to Creditor by
Borrower, to any and all indebtedness owed by the Borrower to the Banks or
Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, of every
<PAGE>

                                      -2-

kind and character, direct or indirect, and whether such indebtedness is from
time to time reduced and thereafter increased, or entirely extinguished and
thereafter reincurred, including, without limitation: (a) indebtedness not yet
outstanding, but contracted for, or with respect to which any other commitment
by the Banks or Secured Party exists; (b) all interest provided in any
instrument, document, or agreement which accrues on any indebtedness until
payment of such indebtedness in full; and (c) any debts owed or to be owed by
Borrower to others which the Banks or Secured Party have obtained, or may
obtain, by assignment or otherwise (Protected Indebtedness).

     2.   WARRANTY. Creditor warrants that the Subordinated Indebtedness is
represented by a promissory note (Note) made, executed and delivered to
Creditor by the Borrower, dated August 31, 2003, with interest at a rate per
annum of 3%, payable on February 27, 2004, a true, correct and complete copy of
which was delivered to Secured Party.

     3.   PLEDGE. Creditor hereby pledges, transfers and assigns to Secured
Party, and grants to Secured Party a security interest in, the Subordinated
Indebtedness, the Note, all collateral therefor and guaranties thereof, and all
Proceeds of all of the foregoing (Collateral), as continuing collateral
security for payment of the Protected Indebtedness.

     4.   CERTAIN RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY.

          (a)  In the event of default in the payment of all or any part of
the principal of or interest on the Protected Indebtedness when due, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, and in addition to having the right to continue the
subordination of the Subordinated Indebtedness, Secured Party may, but shall
not be obligated to: (i) demand, collect, compromise and receive payment of the
Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof; (ii) make, prove and vote any
and all claims for the Subordinated Indebtedness in any proceeding (formal or
informal)
<PAGE>
                                     - 3 -

with respect to the bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, adjustment of debts,
insolvency or liquidation of the Borrower, regardless of the existence or value
of any collateral held by Secured Party as security for payment of the Protected
Indebtedness, including, without limitation, voting such claims at any meeting
of creditors of the Borrower and voting such claims for or against any proposed
plan in any such proceeding, all as Secured Party deems appropriate to protect
its interest; and (iii) receive any and all payments or dividends on such claims
and apply the same, first, to payment of Secured Party's expenses incurred in
exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder (including, without
limitation, actual attorneys' fees and legal expenses) and then to the payment
of the Protected Indebtedness; provided, however, that Secured Party shall
account to the undersigned for any excess.

          (b) Creditor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and
without affecting Creditor's obligations hereunder, from time to time: (i) to
renew, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of
the terms of, or the interest on, the Protected Indebtedness or any part
thereof; (ii) to take from any party and hold collateral (other than the
Subordinated Indebtedness) for the payment of the Protected Indebtedness or any
part thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any part
thereof; (iii) to accept and hold any indorsement or guaranty of payment of the
Protected Indebtedness or any part thereof and to release or substitute any such
indorser or guarantor, or any party who has given any security interest in any
collateral as security for the payment of the Protected Indebtedness or any part
thereof, or any other party in any way obligated to pay the Protected
Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (iv) to direct the order or manner of the
disposition of any and all other collateral and the enforcement of any and all
indorsements and guaranties relating to the Protected Indebtedness or any part
thereof as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, may determine.

          5.  EVIDENCE OF SUBORDINATED DEBT.  Creditor agrees not to demand or
receive any new note, certificate of stock, or other instrument evidencing the
Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof while this agreement is in effect
without the prior written consent of Secured Party and Creditor Agrees to hold
in trust for, and to indorse and immediately deliver to, Secured Party any and
all such notes, certificates of stock or other instruments which may be
received by Creditor without demand by Creditor, or without the prior written
consent of Secured Party, or to the acceptance of which Secured Party may
hereafter so consent.

          6.  PAYMENTS.

              (a)  Except as set forth in Subsection (b) below, Creditor agrees
not to demand or receive any payments of principal of or interest on the
Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof while this agreement is in effect
without the prior written consent of Secured Party. If any such payments are
received by Creditor without demand by Creditor, Creditor will hold such
payments in trust for Secured Party in the same medium in which received, will
not commingle the same with any of the assets of Creditor, and will deliver same
to Secured Party in the form received, properly indorsed to permit collection,
not later than the next business day following the day of their receipt.

              (b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Subsection (a) above, Borrower may pay and Creditor may receive payment or
prepayment of principal and interest on account of the Subordinated
Indebtedness as long as, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) after giving effect to such payment(s)
and/or prepayment(s), the Effective Net Worth, as defined below, of Borrower
does not decrease from the Effective Net Worth of Borrower immediately prior to
such payment and/or prepayment. As used herein, "Effective Net Worth" means the
sum of capital surplus,
<PAGE>
                                      -5-

earned surplus, indebtedness subordinated to the Protected Indebtedness on terms
satisfactory to the Secured Party and capital stock minus deferred charges,
intangibles and treasury stock, all determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

     7.  MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)  Creditor agrees that, in connection herewith, Creditor will
execute or indorse and deliver to Secured Party such financing statements,
assignments, instruments and other documents and do such other things relating
to the Collateral or the security interest granted herein as Secured Party may
request, and pay all costs of title searches and filing financing statements,
assignments, instruments and other documents in all public offices requested by
Secured Party.

         (b)  No course of dealing between Borrower or Creditor and Secured
Party and no delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or
remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. All
rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder are cumulative.

         (c)  Secured Party shall have no obligation to take, and Creditor
shall have the sole responsibility for taking, any and all steps to preserve
rights against any and all prior parties to any Instrument representing the
Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof.

         (d)  Secured Party and Creditor as used herein shall include the heirs,
executors or administrators, or successors or assigns, of those parties.

         (e)  If more than one party executes this agreement, the term
"Creditor" shall include each as well as all of them and their obligations,
warranties and representations hereunder shall be joint and several.

<PAGE>
                                      -6-

               (f)  No modification, rescission, waiver, release or amendment of
any provision of this agreement shall be made except by a written agreement
subscribed by Creditor and by a duly authorized officer of Secured Party.

               (g)  This agreement and the transaction evidenced hereby shall be
construed under the laws of New York State, as the same may from time to time be
in effect. All terms, unless otherwise defined in this agreement or in any
financing statement, shall have the definitions set forth in the Uniform
Commercial Code adopted in New York State, as the same may from time to time be
in effect.

               (h)  Creditor agrees that payment in full of the Protected
Indebtedness from time to time shall not operate as a termination of this
agreement as to any Protected Indebtedness thereafter arising, unless this
agreement has been discontinued as hereinafter provided.

               (i)  This agreement is and is intended to be a continuing
subordination and pledge and shall remain in full force and effect until the
officer in charge of the Lending Office, Department or Division of Secured Party
indicated above shall actually receive from Creditor written notice of its
discontinuance; provided, however, this agreement shall remain in full force and
effect thereafter until all of the Protected Indebtedness outstanding, or
contracted or committed for (whether or not outstanding), before the receipt of
such notice by Secured Party, and any extensions or renewals thereof (whether
made before or after receipt of such notice), together with interest accruing
thereon after such notice, shall be finally and irrevocably paid in full. If
after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Protected Indebtedness,
Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any
person or entity, because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a
preference, impermissible setoff, or a
<PAGE>

diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, this agreement shall continue
in full force notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by
Secured Party in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so
taken shall be without prejudice to Secured Party's rights under this agreement
and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become
final and irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above,
upon final and irrevocable payment in full of the Protected Indebtedness, this
agreement shall be terminated and of no further force or effect as long as (i)
at the time of such payment in full of the Protected Indebtedness, the Secured
Party has no obligation to lend any additional sums to the Borrower and (ii) at
the time of such payment in full of the Protected Indebtedness or any time
thereafter when no Protected Indebtedness is outstanding, Creditor has sent
written notice of such termination to the Secured Party as set forth above. If
each of the conditions set forth in the prior sentence shall not be satisfied
upon any payment in full of the Protected Indebtedness, Creditor agrees that any
such payment in full of the Protected Indebtedness shall not operate as a
termination of this agreement as to any Protected Indebtedness thereafter
arising, unless this agreement has been discontinued as provided above.

                                        CREDITOR:
