Section 8, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8 in respect
of each such Mortgage Loan.

<PAGE>

documents required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement. The terms and

the Seller's Wire Instructions. If Purchaser is the Warehouse Lender with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, the amount transferred shall be reduced to account

by such Warehouse Lender. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which Purchaser has
elected to purchase, Custodian shall deliver to Takeout Investor the applicable
portion of the Conduit Submission Package, in the manner and at the time set
forth in the Custodial Agreement. The related Seller shall thereafter promptly
deliver to Takeout Investor any and all additional documents requested by
Takeout Investor to enable Takeout Investor to make payment to Purchaser of the

            (b) (2) Simultaneously with the payment by Purchaser of the Purchase
Price of a Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the Warehouse Lender's Wire
Instructions or the related Seller's Wire Instructions, as applicable, with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, such Seller hereby conveys to Purchaser all of such
Seller's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, free and clear
of any lien, claim or encumbrance.

            (c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that Purchaser elects to
purchase hereunder, Purchaser shall owe to the related Seller a Performance Fee.
The Yield Compensation Adjustment component of the Performance Fee shall include
an accrued interest calculation. Purchaser's accrued interest calculation shall
be identical to that of Takeout Investor, therefore the amount of accrued
interest included in a settlement calculation will represent accrued interest
paid to Purchaser and paid by Purchaser.

            (d) Notwithstanding the satisfaction by the related Seller of the
conditions specified in Section 2(a), Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any
Mortgage Loan offered to it hereunder. In the event that Purchaser rejects a

            (d) Upon termination of this Agreement and payment in full of all
obligations owing by the Sellers hereunder, under the Custodial Agreement and
under the Electronic Tracking Agreement (if any), Purchaser shall remit to the
Sellers the Cash Account Balance.

            Section 3. Sale of Mortgage Loans to Takeout Investor(a) . (a)(1)
Upon the sale to Takeout Investor of a Mortgage Loan previously purchased by
Purchaser hereunder, the related Seller shall cause Takeout Proceeds relating to
such Mortgage Loan to be paid to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser's Wire
Instructions to such Seller. Since a Takeout Investor or an Agency may aggregate
Takeout Proceeds from several Mortgage Loans in one wire transfer, it may be
necessary, from time to time, for the related Seller to cause a Takeout Investor
or an Agency to also pay to Purchaser Takeout Proceeds relating to Mortgage
Loans not purchased by Purchaser.

            (a)(2) Upon receipt by Purchaser of any Takeout Proceeds, Purchaser
will attempt to identify such Takeout Proceeds by reviewing the Settlement
Information that has been supplied by the related Seller in advance of the
purchase of Mortgage Loans by the Agency.

            (a)(3) The Settlement Date will occur on the earliest date
Settlement Information is made available by the related Seller to Purchaser,
Purchaser will (i) place all related unidentified Takeout Proceeds in a
non-interest bearing account and (ii) continue to accrue interest at the
Pass-Through Rate on all Mortgage Loans which relate to such unidentified
Takeout Proceeds until the Settlement Date of such Mortgage Loans.

            (a)(4) All Takeout Proceeds received by Purchaser from Takeout
Investor after 3:00 P.M. New York City time on a Business Day (or at any time on
a day which is not a Business Day) shall be deemed, with regard to determining
the Settlement Date, received by Purchaser on the next succeeding Business Day.

            (b)(1) If any Mortgage Loan is rejected by Takeout Investor because
it is a Defective Mortgage Loan, the related Seller shall promptly notify
Purchaser. If any Mortgage Loan is a Defective Mortgage Loan on the Purchase
Date and in Purchaser's sole judgment the defects in such Mortgage Loan will not
be cured (or in fact are not cured) by the related Seller prior to the
Commitment Expiration Date, the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Defective
Mortgage Loan shall, on such Commitment Expiration Date, increase by the
Incremental Pass-Through Rate and Purchaser, at its election, may require that
such Seller, upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, immediately repurchase
Purchaser's ownership interest in such Defective

                                       12
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan by remitting to Purchaser (in immediately available funds in
accordance with Purchaser's instructions) the amount paid by Purchaser for such
Defective Mortgage Loan plus interest at the Pass-Through Rate on the principal
amount thereof from the Purchase Date of such Mortgage Loan to the date of such
repurchase. If at any time prior to the repurchase of a Defective Mortgage Loan
by the related Seller or the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by Takeout Investor,
such Seller receives the Mortgage Note or any other portion of the Conduit
Submission Package, such Seller shall promptly forward such Mortgage Note and/or
other portion of the Conduit Submission Package to Purchaser.

            (b)(2) If the related Seller fails to comply with its obligations in
the manner described in Section 3(b)(1), upon receipt by such Seller of notice
from Purchaser, such Seller's rights and obligations to service its Mortgage
Loans, as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate. If an Act of Insolvency
occurs at any time, the related Seller's rights and obligations to service the
Mortgage Loans, as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate immediately,
without any notice or action by Purchaser. Upon any such termination, Purchaser
is hereby authorized and empowered as the exclusive agent for the related Seller
to sell and transfer such rights to service its Mortgage Loans for such price
and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine, and
such Seller shall not otherwise attempt to sell or transfer such rights to
service without the prior consent of Purchaser. The related Seller shall perform
all acts and take all action so that all files and documents relating to the
Mortgage Loans held by such Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to
such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer. To the extent that the
approval of a Third Party Underwriter or any other person is required for any
such sale or transfer, such Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to
obtain such approval. Upon exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under this
Section 3(b)(2), the related Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to receive all
amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service the Mortgage Loans and
to remit such amounts to such Seller subject to Purchaser's rights of set-off
under this Agreement. Upon exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under this
Section 3(b)(2), Purchaser's obligation to pay and the related Seller's right to
receive any portion of the Performance Fee relating to such Mortgage Loans shall
automatically be canceled and become null and void, provided that such
cancellation shall in no way relieve such Seller or otherwise affect the
obligation of such Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as specified
in Section 3(c).

            (b)(3) Each Mortgage Loan required to be delivered to Successor
Servicer by Section 3(b)(2) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in
favor of the related Seller and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance
or claim of any kind of such Seller. The related Seller shall deliver or cause
to be delivered all files and documents relating to each Mortgage Loan held by
such Seller to Successor Servicer. The related Seller shall promptly take such
actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary
or appropriate to enable Purchaser to cure any defect in each such Mortgage Loan
or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate.

            (c) The related Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and
its assignees harmless from and against all Losses resulting from or relating to
any breach or failure to perform by such Seller of any representation, warranty,
covenant, term or condition made or to be performed by such Seller under this
Agreement.

                                       13
<PAGE>

            (d) No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 3
shall relieve the related Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach
of this Agreement.

            (e) The related Seller hereby grants Purchaser a right of set-off
against the payment of any amounts that may be due and payable to Purchaser from
such Seller, such right to be upon any and all monies or other property of such
Seller held or received by Purchaser, or due and owing from Purchaser to such
Seller.

            Section 4. Servicing of the Mortgage Loans. (a) It is expressly
acknowledged that the Servicing Rights relating to each Mortgage Loan purchased
by Purchaser hereunder have been or will be sold, assigned, and transferred by
the related Seller to Purchaser along with such Mortgage Loan. The related
Seller shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan on behalf of Purchaser on
an interim basis in accordance with accepted and prudent mortgage loan servicing
standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry for
the same type of mortgage loans as the Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least
equal in quality to the servicing such Seller provides for mortgage loans which
it owns and in accordance with the requirements of the Takeout Investor as
though the Takeout Investor's requirements were set forth in an independent
contract between such Seller and Purchaser, provided that such Seller shall at
all times comply with applicable law and the requirements of any applicable
insurer or guarantor so that the insurance and any applicable guarantee in
respect of any Mortgage Loan is not voided or reduced. The related Seller shall
at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of each of
its Mortgage Loans, and Purchaser may, at any time during such Seller's business
hours, on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such records. On the 2nd
day of each calendar month, or at any other time upon Purchaser's request, such
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser reports regarding the status of each of its
Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9(l) and Section 9(m), which shall
include, with respect to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, MERS status, and any
circumstances that could materially adversely affect any such Mortgage Loan,
Purchaser's ownership of any such Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing any
such Mortgage Loan. The related Seller agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser
may, at any time, terminate the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by such Seller
and transfer servicing to another Person on such date as Purchaser may determine
in its sole discretion. In the event that anything in this Agreement is
interpreted as constituting one or more interim servicing contracts, each such
servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) the
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by the related Seller or (ii) the Purchaser's
notice to such Seller directing such Seller to transfer servicing (provided,
such Seller's obligations as set forth herein to cooperate in the transfer of
such servicing shall not terminate until such servicing has actually been
transferred in full).

            (b) Within two Business Days of notice from Purchaser or with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, on the Commitment Expiration Date:

                  (i) The Sellers shall establish and maintain a Custodial
      Account entitled "[name of Seller(s)], in trust for UBS Real Estate
      Securities Inc. and its assignees under the Amended and Restated Mortgage
      Loan Purchase Agreement dated [the date of this Agreement]" and shall
      promptly deposit into such Custodial Account, in the form received with
      any necessary endorsements, all collections received in respect of each

                                       14
<PAGE>

      Mortgage Loan that are payable to Purchaser as the owner of each such
      Mortgage Loan; and

                  (ii) at the Purchaser's sole option, upon written notice from
      the Purchaser, the related Seller shall transfer servicing of the Mortgage
      Loans to a Successor Servicer designated by the Purchaser.

            (c) Amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to any
Mortgage Loan shall be held in trust for Purchaser as the owner of such Mortgage
Loan and shall be released only as follows:

                  (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(c),
      following receipt by Purchaser or its designee of the Takeout Proceeds for
      such Mortgage Loan from Takeout Investor or the related Seller amounts
      deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid in accordance with
      Section 2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts deposited in the
      Custodial Account shall be paid to the related Seller upon the purchase by
      Takeout Investor of the related Mortgage Loan(s) from Purchaser if, and to
      the extent that, the amounts due and payable to Purchaser hereunder have
      been set off against the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or the
      Performance Fee relating to the Mortgage Loan. The amounts paid to the
      related Seller (if any) pursuant to this Section 4(c)(1) shall constitute
      such Seller's sole compensation for servicing the Mortgage Loans as
      provided in this Section 4.

                  (ii) If a Successor Servicer is appointed by Purchaser (either
      under the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(ii) above, or otherwise),
      all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid to Purchaser
      promptly upon such delivery.

                  (iii) During the period that any Seller acts as servicer, all
      amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in
      accordance with Purchaser's written instructions.

                  (iv) With respect to a Cash Window Transaction, if a Mortgage
      Loan is not purchased by the Agency on or before the Cure Expiration Date,
      during the period thereafter that the related Seller acts as servicer, all
      amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in
      accordance with Purchaser's written instructions.

            (d) In the event the related Seller or its Affiliate is servicing
the Mortgage Loans, such Seller shall permit the Purchaser to inspect such
Seller's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the
purpose of satisfying the Purchaser that such Seller or its Affiliate, as the
case may be, has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this
Agreement.

            (e) If the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is the related Seller or
the servicer is an Affiliate of such Seller, such Seller shall provide to
Purchaser a letter from such Seller or such Affiliate, as the case may be, to
the effect that upon 1 day's notice from Purchaser, such Seller's rights and
obligations to service the Mortgage Loans shall terminate immediately, without
any further notice or action by Purchaser and such Seller shall transfer
servicing to Purchaser's designee, at no cost or expense to the Purchaser, it
being agreed that such Seller will pay any and

                                       15
<PAGE>

all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the
transfer of servicing to the designee of the Purchaser.

            Section 5. Trade Assignments. Each Seller hereby assigns to
Purchaser, free of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any
kind, such Seller's rights, under each Takeout Commitment to the full extent
permitted by Takeout Investor, to deliver the Mortgage Loan(s) specified therein
to Takeout Investor and to receive the Takeout Proceeds therefor from Takeout
Investor. Purchaser shall not be deemed to have accepted such rights of the
related Seller which relate to a particular Mortgage Loan unless and until it
purchases the Mortgage Loan, and nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to
impair Purchaser's right to reject any Mortgage Loan for any reason, in its sole
discretion.

            Section 6. Transfers of Mortgage Loans by Purchaser. Purchaser may,
in its sole discretion, assign all of its right, title and interest in or grant
a security interest in any Mortgage Loan sold by the related Seller hereunder
and all rights of Purchaser under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, in
respect of such Mortgage Loan to Assignee, subject only to an obligation on the
part of Assignee to deliver each such Mortgage Loan to Takeout Investor pursuant
to Section 5 or to Purchaser to permit Purchaser or its designee to make
delivery thereof to Takeout Investor pursuant to Section 5. It is anticipated
that such assignment to Assignee will be made by Purchaser, and the related
Seller hereby irrevocably consents to such assignment. No notice of such
assignment shall be given by Purchaser to any Seller or Takeout Investor.
Assignment by Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 6
shall not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.

            Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Mortgage
Loan to Assignee, as described in this Section 6, shall be effective upon
delivery to Assignee of a Conduit Submission Package.

            Section 7. Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties;
Security Interest. From and after the delivery of the related Conduit Submission
Package, and subject to the remedies of Purchaser in Section 3, the related
Seller shall remain the last named payee or endorsee of each Mortgage Note and
the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage (except with respect to a
MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, for the
sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of such Mortgage Loan.

            (a) Each Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records
for each of its Mortgage Loans which shall be clearly marked to reflect the
ownership interest in each such Mortgage Loan of Purchaser and with respect to
each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, such Seller shall designate the Purchaser as
the Investor and Interim Funder on the MERS(R) System.

            (b) Purchaser and each Seller confirm that the transactions
contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Mortgage Loans by the
related Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Mortgage
Loans. In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court
or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, each Seller and
Purchaser intend that Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a
perfected first priority security interest in the related Mortgage Loans
(including all servicing rights related

                                       16
<PAGE>

thereto), the Custodial Account, the Takeout Commitments and the proceeds of any
and all of the foregoing and, free and clear of adverse claims (collectively,
the "Mortgage Collateral"). In such case, the related Seller shall be deemed to
have hereby granted to Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, a first
priority security interest in and lien upon the Mortgage Collateral, free and
clear of adverse claims. In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian
for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to Purchaser or
Assignee, as the case may be, and Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be,
shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law. The
related Seller shall, not later than the date of the first purchase of a
Mortgage Loan by Purchaser under this Agreement, deliver to Purchaser a UCC-1
Financing Statement containing a description of the Mortgage Collateral in the
form attached hereto in Exhibit E.

            (c) The related Seller acknowledges that Purchaser's purchase of
Mortgage Loans hereunder will be based in part on the existence of one or more
Takeout Commitments with respect to such Mortgage Loans, such Seller's
representations and warranties with respect to such Takeout Commitments and the
related Takeout Investors and such Seller's covenants with respect to such
Takeout Commitments and Takeout Investors. In order to secure the related
Seller's obligations with respect thereto, and as a condition to Purchaser's
purchase of any Mortgage Loans hereunder, such Seller hereby grants to Purchaser
a first priority perfected security interest in and lien upon the Collateral,
free and clear of adverse claims. If at any time there exists a Defect Amount,
then the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser cash or United States Treasury
obligations approved by the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Defect Amount as
security for their respective obligations hereunder. If Purchaser delivers
notice of the existence of such Defect Amount (a "Defect Notice") to the Sellers
on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the
Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an amount equal to the Defect Amount no later
than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. In the event Purchaser
delivers a Defect Notice to the Sellers after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
any Business Day, then such Defect Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered
on the following Business Day and the Sellers shall be required to deliver to
Purchaser an amount equal to the Defect Amount no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York

ceases to exist or the Sellers have delivered cash or United States Treasury
obligations in an amount in excess of such Defect Amount to Purchaser (such
amounts the "Repurchase Excesses") pursuant to this Section 7(d), Purchaser

      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been
      duly and validly authorized. Each of this Agreement, the Electronic
      Tracking Agreement and the Custodial Agreement evidences the valid,
      binding and enforceable obligation of such Seller and all requisite action

      Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement or the Custodial Agreement
      from the OTS, the NCUA, the FDIC or any similar federal or state

      property is subject;

                  (iv) This Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the Electronic
      Tracking Agreement and every document to be executed by such Seller
      pursuant hereto and thereto is and will be valid, binding and a subsisting
      obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its respective
      terms. No consents or approvals are required to be obtained by such Seller

                  (v) Purchaser will be the sole owner of the related Mortgage
      Loan, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance;

                  (vi) All information relating to such Seller that such Seller
      has delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser, including, but not
      limited to, all documents related to this Agreement, the Electronic
      Tracking Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or such Seller's financial
      statements, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Seller,
      does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
      omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made
      therein or herein in light of the circumstances under which they were
      made, not misleading. Such Seller has disclosed in writing any and all
      facts relating to such Seller that materially and adversely affect or may
      affect the business operations or financial condition of such Seller or

      such Seller or any of its assets in any court or before any arbitrator or
      before any governmental commission, board, bureau or other administrative
      agency that, in any such case, if adversely determined, would have a
      material adverse effect on the financial condition or business of such

      Electronic Tracking Agreement, each Funding Confirmation and the Custodial
      Agreement;

                  (viii) If applicable with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold
      hereunder, such Seller (and each servicer) is approved by GNMA as an
      approved issuer, Fannie Mae as an approved lender, Freddie Mac as an
      approved seller/servicer (as the case may be) and by FHA as an approved
      mortgagee and by VA as an approved VA lender, in each case in good
      standing (such collective approvals and conditions, "Agency Approvals"),
      with no event having occurred or such Seller (or any subservicer) having
      any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the
      purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the related Agency, including without
      limitation a change in insurance coverage which would either make such
      Seller (or any servicer) unable to comply with the eligibility
      requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals or require
      notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA. Should such
      Seller (or any servicer), for any reason, cease to possess all such Agency
      Approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or
      VA be required, such Seller shall so notify Purchaser immediately in
      writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such Seller shall take
      all necessary action to maintain all of its (and each servicer's) Agency
      Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement. Such Seller (and
      any servicer) has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities,
      procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of
      mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute
      Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices;

                  (ix) The Custodian is an eligible custodian under the Agency
      Guide and Agency Program;

      income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to
      be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or
      pursuant to any assessment received by it or any of its Subsidiaries,
      except for any such taxes as are being appropriately contested in good
      faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to
      which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and
      reserves on the books of such Seller and its Subsidiaries in respect of
      taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of such Seller,
      adequate;

                  (xi) Neither such Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an
      "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment
      company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
      amended;

                  (xii) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1
      naming Purchaser as "Secured Party", such Seller as "Debtor" and
      describing the Collateral, in the jurisdictions and recording offices
      listed on Exhibit V attached hereto, the security interests granted
      hereunder in the Collateral will constitute fully perfected security
      interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and
      interest of such Seller in, to and under such Collateral, which can be
      perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code;

                  (xiii) As of the date hereof, and during the four months
      immediately preceding the date hereof, such Seller's chief executive

      Home Mortgage Acceptance, Inc., Maryland, American Home Mortgage Holdings,
      Inc., Delaware, American Home Mortgage Corp., New York, and/or Columbia
      National, Incorporated, Maryland; and

                  (xiv) As of the date hereof, with respect to the Original
      Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, no default has occurred and is
      continuing thereunder and there is no breach of representation or warranty
      thereunder.

            (b) Such Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
Purchaser with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the related Purchase Date
each of the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I hereto is
true and correct in all respects.

            The representations and warranties of each Seller in this Section 8
are unaffected by and supersede any provision in any endorsement of any Mortgage
Loan or in any assignment with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the effect that
such endorsement or assignment is without recourse or without representation or
warranty. With respect to each Mortgage Loan purchased by Purchaser hereunder,
to the extent that any representation or warranty made by the related Seller is
either not required by Takeout Investor or is waived by Takeout Investor,
Purchaser hereby agrees to waive such representation or warranty if such
Mortgage Loan is purchased by Takeout Investor from Purchaser, in accordance
with the terms of the related Takeout Commitment.

            (b) With respect to any Wet Mortgage Loan or Dry Mortgage Loan, if
the related Seller has provided Purchaser with an MBS Swap Funding Program
Selection Notice and such Seller, subsequent to such delivery and subsequent to
the Scheduled Repurchase Date for such Mortgage Loan, provides Purchaser with a
Conversion Loan Purchase Detail and a corresponding Conduit Submission Package,
then Purchaser may elect a remedy pursuant to Section 7 and may retroactively
apply an Incremental Pass-Through Rate for such Mortgage Loan for the period
from the Scheduled Repurchase Date through one day prior to the Repurchase Date.

            (c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, on either the Scheduled

Loan, absent manifest error, without regard to any other oral or written
communication between Purchaser and the related Seller with respect to the
purchase of such Mortgage Loan. With respect to the purchase or repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan, in the event of any conflict between the terms and the provisions

                                       21
<PAGE>

            (a) The Sellers hereby authorize and direct Purchaser to create a
separate Cash Account for the Sellers. The Cash Account shall be held by
Purchaser for the Sellers subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Purchaser shall notify the Sellers, via electronic or facsimile transmission, of
the Cash Account Balance on each Business Day when the Cash Account Balance is
greater than zero and on each Business Day on which a Transaction occurs
hereunder.

            (b) Purchaser shall credit the Cash Account for (i) any deposits
therein by the related Seller upon such Seller's written direction pursuant to a
Withdrawal/Deposit Notice, (ii) any amounts due the related Seller and payable
by Purchaser under any UBSRES Purchase Program to the extent not otherwise
netted as described in Section 3 of this Agreement, (iii) any Supplemental
Amount for any of the Sellers' Mortgage Loans upon the refunding to Purchaser of
the Disbursement Amount for such Mortgage Loan by the Escrow Agent upon any
failure to apply the Disbursement Amount in connection with the proposed funding
of such Mortgage Loan, (iv) any credit pursuant to a Cash Account Adjustment,

            (d) Upon termination of this Agreement and payment in full of all
obligations owing by the related Seller hereunder, under the Custodial Agreement
and under the Electronic Tracking Agreement, Purchaser shall remit to the
Sellers the Cash Account Balance.

            Section 6. Servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

            (a) It is expressly acknowledged that the Servicing Rights relating
to each Mortgage Loan purchased by Purchaser hereunder have been or will be
sold, assigned, and transferred by the related Seller to Purchaser along with
such Mortgage Loan. The related Seller shall service and administer each
Mortgage Loan on behalf of Purchaser on an interim basis in accordance with
accepted and prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally
accepted in the mortgage banking industry for the same type of mortgage loans as
the Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing
such Seller provides for mortgage loans which it owns, provided that such Seller
shall at all times comply with applicable law and the requirements of any
applicable insurer or guarantor so that the insurance and any applicable
guarantee in respect of any Mortgage Loan is not voided or reduced. The related
Seller shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its
servicing of each Mortgage Loan, and Purchaser may, at any time during such
Seller's business hours, on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such
records. On the 2nd day of each calendar month, or at any other time upon
Purchaser's request such Seller shall deliver to Purchaser reports regarding the
status of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 11(o) and Section 11(p),
which shall include, with respect to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, MERS
Reports, and any

                                       22
<PAGE>

circumstances that could materially adversely affect any such Mortgage Loan,
Purchaser's ownership of any such Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing any
such Mortgage Loan. The related Seller agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser
may, at any time, terminate the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by such Seller
and transfer servicing to another Person on such date as Purchaser may determine
in its sole discretion. In the event that anything in this Agreement is
interpreted as constituting one or more interim servicing contracts, each such
servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an
Event of Default, (ii) the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by the related Seller
or (iii) the Purchaser's notice to the related Seller directing such Seller to
transfer servicing (provided, such Seller's obligations as set forth herein to
cooperate in the transfer of such servicing shall not terminate until such
servicing has actually been transferred in full).

            (b) Within five Business Days of notice from Purchaser, or
immediately upon notice if an Event of Default has occurred:

            (i) the Sellers shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account
      entitled "[name of Seller(s)], in trust for UBS Real Estate Securities
      Inc. and its assignees under the Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan
      Repurchase Agreement dated as of the date of this Agreement" and shall
      promptly deposit into the Custodial Account, in the form received with any
      necessary endorsements, all collections received in respect of each
      Mortgage Loan that are payable to Purchaser as the owner of each such
      Mortgage Loan; and

            (ii) at the Purchaser's sole option, upon written notice from the
      Purchaser, the related Seller shall transfer servicing of its Mortgage
      Loans to a successor servicer designated by the Purchaser.

            (c) Amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to any
Mortgage Loan shall be held in trust for Purchaser as the owner of such Mortgage
Loan and shall be released only as follows:

            (i) All amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to a
      Seller's Mortgage Loans shall be paid to such Seller upon the repurchase
      by such Seller of the related Mortgage Loans from Purchaser if, and to the
      extent that, the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts due and payable
      to Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans have been paid.
      The amounts paid to such Seller (if any) pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i)
      shall constitute such Seller's sole compensation for servicing the
      Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 6.

            (ii) If a Successor Servicer is appointed by Purchaser (either under
      the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(ii) above, Section 7 or
      otherwise), or if an Event of Default has occurred, all amounts deposited
      in the Custodial Account shall be paid to Purchaser promptly upon such
      delivery.

            (iii) During the period that the related Seller acts as Servicer,
      all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in
      accordance with Purchaser's written instructions.

                                       23
<PAGE>

            (d) In the event the related Seller or its Affiliate is servicing
the Mortgage Loans, such Seller shall permit the Purchaser to inspect such
Seller's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the
purpose of satisfying the Purchaser that such Seller or its Affiliate, as the
case may be, has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this
Agreement.

            (e) If the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is the related Seller or
the Servicer is an Affiliate of such Seller, such Seller shall provide to
Purchaser a letter from such Seller or such Affiliate, as the case may be, to
the effect that upon 1 day's notice from Purchaser or immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Servicer's rights and obligations to service
the Mortgage Loans shall terminate immediately, without any further notice or
action by Purchaser and Servicer shall transfer servicing to Purchaser's
designee, at no cost or expense to the Purchaser, it being agreed that such
Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement
and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Purchaser.

            Section 7. Remedies; Margin Deficits.

            (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of
Purchaser exercised by written notice to the related Seller (which option shall
be deemed to have been exercised even if no notice is given, immediately upon
the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to such Seller or an
Affiliate of such Seller), the Scheduled Repurchase Date for each Transaction of
such Seller hereunder shall be, deemed immediately to occur and, upon exercise
of such option, (i) such Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all of its
Mortgage Loans shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) the
Pass-Through Rate applicable to each such Mortgage Loan shall increase by the
Incremental Pass-Through Rate, (iii) all amounts then or thereafter held in the
Custodial Account and the Cash Account shall be retained by Purchaser and
applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices owed by such Seller and to any
other amounts owing by such Seller hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement
and (iv) Purchaser may at any time on the Business Day following notice to
Seller (which notice may be the notice given above of an Event of Default), (A)
immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or
private sale and at such price or prices as Purchaser may deem satisfactory, any
or all of such Mortgage Loans and apply the proceeds thereof (net of any
expenses of sale) to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
amounts owing by such Seller hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement or (B)
in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such
Mortgage Loans, to give such Seller credit for such Mortgage Loans in an amount
equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized
source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the
aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller
hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, and in either case upon the
determination and receipt by Purchaser of all such amounts owing by such Seller
(including, without limitation, any unpaid fees, expenses, legal fees and
expenses of Purchaser's counsel or other amounts owing to Purchaser under this
Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement or the Custodial Agreement),
Purchaser shall transfer any remaining portion of such Mortgage Loans and
proceeds thereof to either (1) such Seller, if in Purchaser's reasonable
judgment such Seller is legally entitled thereto, (2) such other entity as is in
Purchaser's reasonable judgment legally entitled thereto or (3) if Purchaser
cannot determine in its judgment the entity entitled thereto, a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that such Seller shall be liable for any
deficiency if the

                                       24
<PAGE>

proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Mortgage Loans and any amounts
applied from the Custodial Account and the Cash Account are insufficient to pay
all amounts to which Purchaser is entitled hereunder.

            (b) If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Defective Mortgage Loan prior to
the Repurchase Date, the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Defective Mortgage
Loan shall increase by the Incremental Pass-Through Rate, and Purchaser, at its
election, may immediately accelerate the Scheduled Repurchase Date and require
that the related Seller, upon receipt of such election, immediately repurchase
such Defective Mortgage Loan by remitting to Purchaser (in immediately available
funds in accordance with Purchaser's Wire Instructions) the Repurchase Price for
such Defective Mortgage Loan.

            (c) If the related Seller fails to comply with its obligations in
the manner described in Section 7(b) or under the Electronic Tracking Agreement
or if the Purchaser delivers notice to such Seller pursuant to Section 6(a) or
6(b) hereof such Seller's rights and obligations to interim service Mortgage
Loans, as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate. If any such event occurs,
such Seller's rights and obligations to service the Mortgage Loans, as provided
in this Agreement, shall terminate immediately, without any further notice or
action by Purchaser. Upon any such termination, Purchaser is hereby authorized
and empowered to sell and transfer such rights to service the Mortgage Loans for
such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall determine in its
sole discretion. The related Seller does not have any right to and shall not
attempt to sell or transfer the Servicing Rights or any rights incident thereto
without the prior consent of the Purchaser, which may be withheld in Purchaser's
sole discretion. In the event of any servicing transfer, the related Seller
shall perform all acts and take all action so (i) that the Mortgage Loans and
all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by such Seller,
together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered
to a Successor Servicer, (ii) all applicable laws and regulations relating to
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and any transfer of the such servicing with
respect thereto are complied with in all respects, including, without limitation
all provisions of RESPA, the Truth in Lending Act and other applicable laws and
(iii) with respect to all MERS Designated Mortgage Loans, the "Servicer" and all
other relevant fields in the MERS(R) System are modified to reflect the
Successor Servicer, where applicable. To the extent that the approval of any
other insurer or guarantor is required for any such sale or transfer, the
related Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval.
Upon exercise, by Purchaser of its remedies under this Section 7(c), the related
Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to receive all amounts paid by any purchaser
of such rights to service the Mortgage Loans and to remit such amounts to such
Seller subject to Purchaser's rights of set-off under this Agreement.

            (d) Each Mortgage Loan required to be delivered to a Successor
Servicer by Section 7(c) shall be delivered free of any Servicing Rights in
favor of the related Seller and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance
or claim of any kind of such Seller, and such Seller shall deliver or cause to
be delivered all files and documents relating to each Mortgage Loan held by such
Seller to a Successor Servicer. The related Seller shall promptly take such
actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary
or appropriate to enable Purchaser to cure any defect in each such Mortgage Loan
or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate.

                                       25
<PAGE>

            (e) Each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its
assigns harmless for and against all Losses resulting from or relating to any
Event of Default related to such Seller.

            (f) No election by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7 shall
relieve the related Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of or
under this Agreement.

            (g) Each Seller and its Affiliates hereby grant Purchaser and its
Affiliates a right of set-off, to secure the payment of any amounts that may be
due and payable to Purchaser from such Seller, such right to be upon any and all
monies or other property of such Seller and its Affiliates held or received by
Purchaser and its Affiliates, or due and owing from Purchaser and its Affiliates
to such Seller and its Affiliates.

            (h) If at any time the aggregate Asset Value of the Mortgage Loans
is less than the aggregate Purchase Price for all such Mortgage Loans (a "Margin
Deficit"), then Purchaser may by notice to the Sellers (as such notice is more
particularly set forth below, a "Margin Deficit Notice"), accelerate the
Scheduled Repurchase Date for the Mortgage Loans or require the Sellers to
deposit into the Cash Account an amount (which amount may be deposited in the
form of United States treasury obligations approved by the Purchaser) equal to
the Margin Deficit so that the aggregate Asset Value of the Mortgage Loans,
including any such amounts deposited into the Cash Account, will thereupon equal
or exceed the aggregate Asset Value. If Purchaser delivers a Margin Deficit
Notice to the Sellers on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any
Business Day, then the Sellers shall repurchase the specified Mortgage Loans or
deposit an amount equal to the Margin Deficit into the Cash Account no later
than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. In the event Purchaser
delivers a Margin Deficit Notice to the Sellers after 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on any Business Day, then such Margin Deficit Notice shall be deemed to
have been delivered on the following Business Day and the Sellers shall be
required to repurchase the specified Mortgage Loans or deposit an amount equal
to the Margin Deficit into the Cash Account no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on such subsequent Business Day.

            Section 8. Transfer of Mortgage Loan by Purchaser. Purchaser may, in
its sole discretion, grant or assign a security interest in any Mortgage Loan
sold by the related Seller hereunder and all rights of Purchaser under this
Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement and/or the Custodial Agreement, in
respect of such Mortgage Loan to Assignee, subject only to an obligation on the
part of Assignee to deliver each such Mortgage Loan to Purchaser to permit
Purchaser or its designee to make delivery thereof to such Seller on the
Repurchase Date. It is anticipated that such assignment to Assignee will be made
by Purchaser, and each Seller hereby irrevocably consents to such assignment. No
notice of such assignment shall be given by Purchaser to any Seller. Assignment
by Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 8 shall not
release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.

            Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Mortgage
Loan to Assignee, as described in this Section 8, shall be effective upon
delivery to Assignee of a Dry Submission Package.

                                       26
<PAGE>

            Section 9. Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties;
Security Interest.

            (a) From and after the delivery of the related Submission Package,
and subject to the remedies of Purchaser set forth in Section 7, the related
Seller shall remain the named payee or endorsee of each related Mortgage Note
and the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage (except with respect to
a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, for the
sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of such Mortgage Loan.

            (b) Each Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records
for each of its Mortgage Loans which shall be clearly marked to reflect the
ownership interest in each Mortgage Loan of Purchaser and with respect to each
MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, such Seller shall designate the Purchaser as the
Investor and Interim Funder on the MERS(R) System.

            (c) Purchaser and each Seller confirm that the Transactions
contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Mortgage Loans by such
Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Mortgage Loans. In the
event, for any reason, any Transaction is construed by any court or regulatory
authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, each Seller and Purchaser intend
that Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first
priority security interest in the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims.
In such case, such Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser or
Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien
upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed
to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security
interest granted to Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, and Purchaser or
Assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party
under applicable law. The related Seller shall, not later than the date of the
first purchase of a Mortgage Loan by Purchaser under this Agreement, deliver to
Purchaser a UCC-1 Financing Statement containing a description of collateral in
the form attached hereto in Exhibit I.

            Section 10. Representations and Warranties.

            (a) Each Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of
the date hereof and as of the date of each delivery of a Submission Package
that:

            (i) Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good
      standing under the laws of the state of its organization or of the United
      States of America and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business
      as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing to
      do business in each jurisdiction in which it is legally required to do so.
      Such Seller has all requisite power and authority (including, if
      applicable, corporate power) to execute and deliver this Agreement, the
      Electronic Tracking Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and to perform
      in accordance herewith and therewith; the execution, delivery and
      performance of this Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement and the
      Custodial Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered
      pursuant to this Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement and the
      Custodial Agreement) by such Seller and the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly
      authorized. Each of this

                                       27
<PAGE>

      Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement and the Custodial Agreement
      evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Seller and
      all requisite action (including, if applicable, corporate action) has been
      taken by such Seller to make this Agreement, the Electronic Tracking
      Agreement and the Custodial Agreement valid and binding upon such Seller
      in accordance with its terms;

            (ii) No approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
      the Electronic Tracking Agreement or the Custodial Agreement from the OTS,

      having jurisdiction over Seller is required, or if required, such approval
      has been obtained. The transfers, assignments and conveyances provided for
      herein and therein are not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar
      statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

            (iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement, the Electronic Tracking Agreement and the Custodial Agreement
      are in the ordinary course of business of Seller and will not result in
      the breach of any term or provision of the charter, by-laws or other
      organizational document of Seller or result in the breach of any term or
      provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in
      the acceleration of any obligation under, an agreement, indenture or loan
      or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller or its property is
      subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
      judgment or decree to which Seller or its property is subject;

            (iv) This Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the Electronic
      Tracking Agreement and every document to be executed by Seller pursuant
      hereto and thereto is and will be valid, binding and a subsisting
      obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.

      the Custodial Agreement or Seller's financial statements, and all such

time to time in Purchaser's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the

Seller, to do the following: in the name of such Seller, or in its own name, or
otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts,
notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Mortgage Loans and to file any

other Mortgage Loans whenever payable;

            (b) to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Mortgage Loans;

<PAGE>

brought against such Seller with respect to any Mortgage Loans; (F) to settle,
compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E)
above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as
Purchaser may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and
make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Mortgage Loans as
fully and completely as though Purchaser were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at Purchaser's option and such Seller's expense, at any
time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Purchaser deems necessary
to protect, preserve or realize upon the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser's liens
thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as such Seller might do;

to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable.

The powers conferred on Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect Purchaser's
interests in the Mortgage Loans and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts that
it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it
nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
any Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
