                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of October 1,

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of thirteen
classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class AF-1 Certificates, (ii) the
Class AF-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class AF-3 Certificates, (iv) the Class AF-4
Certificates, (v) the Class AF-5 Certificates, (vi) the Class AF-6 Certificates,

         Property by the Mortgagor with the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan;

         purchase the related Mortgaged Property) or a Mortgage Loan originated
         in connection with a "lease option purchase" if the "lease option
         purchase price" was set 12 months or more prior to origination, such

Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Certificates and the Voting Rights
allocated to the Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates shall be
allocated among all Holders of each such Class in proportion to such Holders'
respective Percentage Interest; provided, however that when none of the Regular
Certificates are outstanding, 100% of the Voting Rights shall be allocated among
Holders of the Class R Certificates in accordance with such Holders' respective
Percentage Interests in the Certificates of such Class. Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing, on any date on which any Guaranteed Certificates are outstanding
or any amounts are owed the Guarantor under this Agreement, all of the Voting

respective Uncertificated REMIC 3 Pass-Through Rate on the respective
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 3 Regular Interest.

                  SECTION 1.04.     Rights of the NIMS Insurer.

                  Each of the rights of the NIMS Insurer set forth in this
Agreement shall exist so long as (i) the NIMS Insurer has undertaken to
guarantee certain payments of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and (ii)
the notes issued pursuant to the Indenture remain outstanding or the NIMS
Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its guarantee of payment on such notes;
provided, however, the NIMS Insurer shall not have any rights hereunder so long
as (i) the NIMS Insurer has not undertaken to guarantee certain payments of
notes issued pursuant to the Indenture or (ii) any default has occurred and is
continuing under the insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer with respect to
such notes. If a NIMS Insurer is appointed following the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Guarantor within five (5)
Business Days after such appointment.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to
the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the

includes all interest and principal due and received by the Depositor or the
Master Servicer after the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, an executed copy
of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (with a copy to the Guarantor), the
Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the required deposit for the Interest Coverage
Accounts and the required deposit for the Net WAC Rate Carryover Account, for
the uses and purposes set forth herein, and the Trustee hereby acknowledges

                  In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
does hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, or its designated agent
(the "Custodian"), the following documents or instruments with respect to each

         Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for registered Holders of
         Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002-C, without recourse,"
         or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note

         Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to
         Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance or
         Subsequent Cut-off Date Principal Balance, as applicable, of which is
         less than or equal to 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date
         or Subsequent Cut-off Date, as applicable;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
         and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was
         executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording
         thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been submitted
         for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public
         recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
         of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to
         be a true and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;

                  (iii) an original Assignment of the Mortgage assigned either
         (A) in blank, without recourse, or (B) to "Deutsche Bank National Trust
         Company, as Trustee for registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage
         Securities Inc., Series 2002-C, without recourse";

                  (iv) an original of any intervening Assignment(s) of Mortgage
         showing a complete chain of Assignments from the originator to the last
         endorsee with evidence of recording thereon, or the original unrecorded
         intervening Assignment(s);

                  (v) the original or a certified copy of lender's title
         insurance policy or an attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee
         of title acceptable to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction
         where the

                                       43

<PAGE>

         Mortgaged Property is located, or in the event such original title
         policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
         preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
         company; and

                  (vi) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
         written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii)
or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent Transfer
Date in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans) been submitted for recording but
either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or
(y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of
such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in
the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of
(y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the
Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt
thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. If the original lender's title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, promptly following receipt thereof, the original lender's title
insurance policy. The Seller and the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, promptly
upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.

                  The Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly
(and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon
a mutual agreement among the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Guarantor,
following the later of (i) the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent Transfer
Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans), (ii) the date on which the
Master Servicer receives the original Assignment from the Custodian and (iii)
the date on which the Master Servicer receives the related Mortgage recordation
information from the applicable recorder's office) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the
appropriate office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in
Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment
referred to in section 2.01(iii) above in the following form: "Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as Trustee for registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage
Securities Inc., Series 2002-C, without recourse." In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly prepare or cause to
be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as
the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments of the Mortgages shall not be required to be completed and submitted
for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan only if the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and each Rating Agency has received an Opinion of
Counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and
the Guarantor on or before the Closing Date, to the effect that the recordation
of such Assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the
related Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, notwithstanding the delivery
of any Opinion of Counsel, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by
the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) direction by Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the
Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a
bankruptcy of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage or a foreclosure of the
related Mortgage. If the Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) defaults in
its obligation to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be paid by the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer defaults in its
obligation to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be
paid by the Trustee (and such default, if Ameriquest Mortgage Company is the
Master Servicer, will constitute a Master Servicer Event of Termination as set
forth in Section 7.01(a)(ii)). If such expense is paid by the Master Servicer
(if the Master Servicer is not Ameriquest Mortgage Company or its successors,
assigns or affiliates), such expense shall be reimbursable to the Master
Servicer from amounts on deposit in the

                                       44

<PAGE>

Collection Account. If such expense is paid by the Trustee, such expense shall
be advanced or reimbursable to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  If the Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall not
have caused all such Assignments to be recorded in accordance with preceding
paragraph, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, with regard to
those Mortgage Loans without recorded Assignments, a report containing the
Borrower's name, loan number, address and mortgage recordation information to
the extent received. Such report will be delivered to the Trustee, commencing in
December 2002 and continuing every 60 days thereafter until all such Assignments
have been recorded or all Mortgage recordation information regarding such
Mortgage Loans have been received. The Master Servicer (in its capacity as
Seller) shall furnish the Trustee, or its designated agent, with a copy of each
Assignment submitted for recording.

                  In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of
the Closing Date in the case of Initial Mortgage Loans or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, promptly
following the Closing Date in the case of Initial Mortgage Loans or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans and
in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date in the case of Initial
Mortgage Loans or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall cause to be completed such
endorsements "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee for registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series
2002-C, without recourse."

                  The Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer 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 270 days of its submission for recordation. In the
event that the Master Servicer cannot provide a copy of such document certified
by the public recording office within such 270 day period, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 270 day period, an Officers'
Certificate of the Master Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loans for which
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office is unavailable
which shall (A) identify the recorded document, (B) state that the recorded
document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by
the public recording office, (C) state the amount of time generally required by
the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for
recordation, if known, and (D) specify the date the applicable recorded document
is expected to be delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of
such document certified by the public recording office, the Master Servicer
shall immediately deliver such document to the Custodian. In the event the
appropriate public recording office will not certify as to the accuracy of such
document, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of such document certified by
an officer of the Master Servicer to be a true and complete copy of the original
to the Custodian.

                  SECTION 2.02.     Acceptance of REMIC 1 by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below,
the Trustee acknowledges the receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject
to a custodial agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian the duly appointed
agent of the Trustee), of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(vi) unless applicable) above and all
interests and all other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" and
declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in
the definitions of "REMIC 1" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Guarantor and the
Certificateholders, to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review)
each Mortgage Note on or before the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans) and to certify in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3 (or cause a Custodian to
so certify) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in the exception report annexed thereto as

                                       45

<PAGE>

not being covered by such certification), the Trustee is in possession of the
Mortgage Note. Within 45 days after the Closing Date (or, in the case of each
Subsequent Mortgage Loan, after the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date or, with
respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of
receipt thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Guarantor and the
Certificateholders, to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review)
each Mortgage File and to certify to the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D-1 that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(vi), unless applicable) required
to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it or the Custodian and are not mutilated,
torn or defaced unless initialed by the related Mortgagor and relate to such
Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its or the Custodian's examination and only as
to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (10), (18) and (20) of the
Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage
File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or
the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to (i) inspect,
review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether
any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi)
of Section 2.01.

                  Prior to the date that is 180 days following the date of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the
Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D-2 evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon, with respect to all of the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, damaged, torn
or defaced or does not conform to the requirements identified above, at the
conclusion of its review the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and
the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller, the
Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer (or upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor and that such
property not be part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in
the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance
is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that
the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the
Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law.

                  SECTION 2.03.     Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
                                    by the Seller; Payment of Master Servicer
                                    Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan
or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Guarantor (it

                                       46

<PAGE>

being understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set
forth in (xxxix) through (xlii) of Exhibit A to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, a breach of any such representation shall be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interests of the Guarantor), the Trustee shall promptly
notify the Seller, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the
Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's
obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or
prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period
(subject to Section 2.03(d)); provided, however, that, in connection with any
such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90 day period,
if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 90 day
period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and
expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be delivered or caused to be delivered by the Seller to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the
Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such
assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage
Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed
from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  (b) The Seller hereby indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and any Certificateholder may sustain in
connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan other than in compliance with the terms of Section 2.03, to the extent that
any such action causes (a) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

                  (c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be effected
prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Seller delivering to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution. The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and,
within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Guarantor
and the NIMS Insurer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2
hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller.

                                       47

<PAGE>

For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect
the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the
Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
give or cause to be given written notice to the Guarantor not less than 10
Business Days prior to the related Determination Date of its intention to effect
such substitution, and if such notice from the Seller to the Guarantor shall
contain all information that the Guarantor may require to conduct its due
diligence evaluation of each mortgage loan proposed to be substituted (including
the complete and final data file of each such mortgage loan), then the Guarantor
shall grant or withhold its approval of the mortgage loans proposed to be
substituted not less than 3 Business Days prior to such Determination Date. The
Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer that such substitution
has taken place, 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 Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution
effected by the Seller all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all applicable
representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04, in each case
as of the date of substitution.

                  For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of
the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month's interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate.
On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto.

                  In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor an Opinion of
Counsel, to be delivered not less than 10 Business Days prior to the related
Determination Date, to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered,
then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion
of Counsel can be given.

                  (d) Upon discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement. In connection
therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a), if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller
the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the
same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of
a representation or warranty.

                  (e)(i) Promptly, but in no event later than 90 days following
the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(e)(i)
         above,

                  (A) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the
         representation made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(xi), which
         breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
         the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount
         collected and deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection
         Account in respect of such Prepayment Charge; and

                  (B) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant
         made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(xii), which breach
         materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
         Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the
         amount of the waived Prepayment Charge, but only to the extent required
         under Section 2.03(e)(iii) below.

                  (iii) If with respect to any Prepayment Period,

                  (A) the dollar amount of Prepayment Charges that are the
         subject of breaches by the Master Servicer of the covenant made by the
         Master Servicer in Section 2.05(xii), which breaches materially and
         adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P
         Certificates to such Prepayment Charges, exceeds

                  (B) 5% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges
         payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the
         related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period,

then the amount required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03(e)(ii)(B) above shall be limited to an amount, that when added to the
amount of Prepayment Charges actually collected by the Master Servicer in
respect of Prepayment Charges relating to Principal Prepayments on the related
Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period, will yield a sum
equal to 95% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges (exclusive of (A)
Prepayment Charges not enforced or collected upon because (i) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally or
(ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment and (B) Prepayment
Charges waived by the Master Servicer where such waiver does not breach the
covenant set forth in Section 2.05(xii)) payable by Mortgagors in connection
with Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during
such Prepayment Period.

                  SECTION 2.04.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of
                                    the Seller.

                  (a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Guarantor
and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing
Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

                  (i) The representations and warranties made by the Seller
         pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
         Agreement are hereby being made to the Guarantor and the Trustee for
         the benefit of the Certificateholders and are true and correct as of
         the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided
         therein.

                  (ii) Any written agreement between the Mortgagor in respect of
         a Mortgage Loan and the Seller or the Master Servicer modifying such
         Mortgagor's obligation to make payments under such Mortgage Loan
         involved the application of the Seller's or the Master Servicer's
         underwriting standards or some assessment of such Mortgagor's ability
         to repay the modified Mortgage Loan.

<PAGE>

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the Guarantor notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or
assignment. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders or the Guarantor, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties and the Guarantor, and in no
event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. Within 90
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing or materially
defective documentation or any such breach of a representation or warranty, the
Seller shall promptly deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach in all material respects, or in the event such defect or breach cannot be
cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the
removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with
Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set
forth in Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders, the Guarantor or to the Trustee on their
behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in
this Section 2.04.

                  (b) The Seller hereby covenants that it will not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the
Seller will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, the Guarantor and
the NIMS Insurer of the existence of any lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately
upon discovery thereof, and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest
of the Trust, as assignee of the Depositor, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans,
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

                  (c) Promptly, but in no event later than 90 days following the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller set forth in
this Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall cure such breach in
all material respects.

                  SECTION 2.05.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of
                                    the Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer (in its capacity as Master Servicer and/or
Seller, as applicable) hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Depositor, the Guarantor and the Trustee, for the benefit of each of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders that as of the
Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

                  (i) The Master Servicer is duly organized, validly existing,
         and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
         formation and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as
         now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in
         the states where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such
         state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business
         of the type conducted by the Master Servicer or to ensure the
         enforceability or validity of each Mortgage Loan; the Master Servicer
         has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
         to perform in accordance herewith and all requisite corporate action
         has been taken by the Master Servicer to make this Agreement valid and
         binding upon the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms; the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all
         instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by
         the Master Servicer and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized; this
         Agreement evidences the valid, binding obligation of the Master
         Servicer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
         enforcement of such terms may be limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the availability of
         equitable remedies, (2) general equity principles (regardless of
         whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law) or (3) public policy considerations underlying the securities
         laws, to the extent that such policy considerations limit the
         enforceability of provisions of this Agreement, if any, which purport
         to provide indemnification from securities laws liabilities;

                                       50

<PAGE>

                  (ii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer
         (in its capacity as Master Servicer and in its capacity as Seller) and
         will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter
         or by-laws of the Master Servicer 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, any agreement,
         indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the
         Master Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the violation
         of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the
         Master Servicer or its property is subject;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer and the performance and compliance with its obligations
         and covenants hereunder do not require the consent or approval of any
         governmental authority or, if such consent or approval is required, it
         has been obtained;

                  (iv) All documents and instruments contemplated hereby which
         are executed and delivered by the Master Servicer, constitute and will
         constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Master Servicer,
         enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
         enforcement may be limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the availability of
         equitable remedies, (2) general equity principles (regardless of
         whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law) or (3) public policy considerations underlying the securities
         laws, to the extent that such policy considerations limit the
         enforceability of provisions of any of such documents or instruments
         which purport to provide indemnification from securities laws
         liabilities.

                  (v) The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, did not
         transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor with any intent to hinder,
         delay or defraud any of its creditors;

                  (vi) The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, acquired
         title to the Mortgage Loans in good faith, without notice of any
         adverse claims;

                  (vii) The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage
         Notes and the Mortgages by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as
         Seller to the Depositor is not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any
         similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

                  (viii) The Master Servicer does not believe, nor does it have
         any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
         covenant contained in this Agreement;

                  (ix) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
         pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer
         that is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and in the event
         of such determination, either individually or in the aggregate, may
         result in any material adverse change in the business, operations,
         financial condition, properties or assets of the Master Servicer, and
         in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Master
         Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in
         any material liability on the part of the Master Servicer, or that
         would draw into question the validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the
         obligations of the Master Servicer contemplated herein, or that would
         be likely to impair materially the ability of the Master Servicer to
         perform under the terms of this Agreement;

                  (x) Neither this Agreement nor any information, certificate of
         an officer, statement furnished in writing or report delivered to the
         Trustee or the Guarantor by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as
         Master Servicer or Seller, in connection with the transactions
         contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
         omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
         statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which
         they were made, not misleading (except to the extent that any such
         information, statement or report has been corrected or superseded in
         writing by the Master Servicer as of the Closing Date, it being
         understood (i) that the Master Servicer has delivered no certificate of
         an officer prior to the Closing Date and (ii) that any representations,
         warranties and indemnifications as to the accuracy and

                                       51

<PAGE>

         completeness of the Information Circular made by Ameriquest Mortgage
         Company in agreements and Officers' Certificates delivered by
         Ameriquest Mortgage Company on the Closing Date in connection with the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be interpreted such
         that the information in the Information Circular is deemed to correct
         and/or supersede as of the Closing Date, within the meaning of this
         parenthetical, any information, statement or report delivered by the
         Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Guarantor prior to the Closing
         Date that is inconsistent with the information in the Information
         Circular or that was omitted from such information, statement or report
         delivered prior to the Closing Date);

                  (xi) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
         Schedule (prepared by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller)
         attached hereto as Schedule 2 (including the Prepayment Charge Summary
         attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material
         respects on the date or dates when such information is furnished and
         each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance
         with its terms (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof
         may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and
         other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or the
         collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection
         with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment) under applicable state
         law;

                  (xii) The Master Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge
         unless, (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws
         relating to creditors' rights generally or (ii) the collectability
         thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with
         a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) in the Master
         Servicer's reasonable judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x)
         such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default,
         (y) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into
         account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan
         and (z) doing so is standard and customary in servicing similar
         Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in
         connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a
         default or a reasonably foreseeable default). In no event will the
         Master Servicer waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a
         refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a
         reasonably foreseeable default;

                  (xiii) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will fully
         furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
         implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
         favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to each of
         Equifax, Transunion, and Experian (the "Credit Repositories") on a
         monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall provide evidence of the
         furnishing of such accurate and complete information to Freddie Mac on
         either a monthly or quarterly basis;

                  (xiv) The Master Servicer has fully furnished, in accordance
         with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations,
         accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on
         its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories on a
         monthly basis; and

                  (xv) All amounts received after the Cut-off Date with respect
         to the Mortgage Loans to which the Seller is not entitled will be
         deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible
         Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
         mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
         activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day
         after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter
         deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business
         Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery
by any of the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer,
the Seller or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations,
warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders or the Guarantor, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days
following such discovery) to the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Guarantor, the

                                       52

NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, the obligation of the
Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(e) to cure breaches (or in the case of
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 2.05(xi) and
Section 2.05(xii) above, to otherwise remedy such breaches pursuant to Section
2.03(e)(ii)) shall constitute the sole remedies against the Master Servicer
available to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificateholders, the
Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach
of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05.
The preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders (other than in the case of the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 2.05(xi) and
Section 2.05(xii) above) pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement signed
by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller, respecting a breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer in its capacity
as Seller contained in such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.06.     Representations and Warranties of the
                                    Depositor.

                  The Depositor represents and warrants to the Guarantor and the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date or as of
such date specifically provided herein:

                  (i) This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be
         limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
         moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies, (2)
         general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (3) public policy
         considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such
         policy considerations limit the enforceability of provisions of this

                                   ARTICLE III

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND

                  SECTION 3.01.     Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the
best interests of and for the benefit of the Guarantor and the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with: (a) the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and
any insurance policies related thereto, (b) all Applicable Regulations, (c) this
Agreement, (d) the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, if applicable, and (e) to the
extent consistent with the preceding requirements, in the same manner in which
it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans in the
same jurisdiction as the related Mortgaged Property, but without regard to:

                  (i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any subservicer
         or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any subservicer may have
         with the related Mortgagor;

                  (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer
         or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;

                  (iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or
         Servicing Advances; or

                  (iv) the Master Servicer's or any subservicer's right to
         receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
         particular transaction (the "Servicing Standard").

                  Subject only to the above-described Servicing Standard, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone (or through
subservicers as provided in Section 6.06), to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Master
Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of the
Servicing Standard. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer in its own name (or in the name of a subservicer) is hereby authorized
and empowered by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard set forth herein, to (i) execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the Trustee, any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or
of forbearance, or of modification and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute
foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, in the name of the Trust, on behalf of the Trustee, the Guarantor
and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO
Properties held in the name of the Trust to third party purchasers upon terms
and conditions the Master Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing
Standard, (4) to bring or respond to civil actions or complaints (in its own
name or that of the Trust or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust) related to any
Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property held by the Trust and (5)
execute any other document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder
consistent with the Servicing Standard.

                  At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to
execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all servicing
duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and transferring
title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph along with the
face page and copy of the signature pages (duly executed) to this Agreement
shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or recording
purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer
under such powers of attorney.

                  In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first
instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07,
and further as provided in Section 3.05. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or by subservicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Principal Balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so permit.

                  Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to
the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that:

                  (A) the Master Servicer, shall not make future advances
         without the consent of the Guarantor (except as provided in Section
         4.04);

                  (B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
         respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
         or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce
         the outstanding principal balance (except for reductions resulting from
         actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date on such
         Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section 3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is
         in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such default is,
         in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable); and

                  (C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial
         releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or
         division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v)
         second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage
         Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
         a REMIC, (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
         "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
         Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
         Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations
         promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust REMIC constituting part
         of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
         imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
         after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.

                  To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or
permit a subservicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.

                  In accordance with Section 6.06, the Master Servicer may
delegate some or all of its responsibilities under this Agreement to one or more
subservicers; provided however, that no such delegation by the Master Servicer
shall release it from the responsibilities and liabilities arising under this
Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed
to include any subservicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 6.06 of this Agreement.

                  The Master Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee,
the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer of any action, of which the Master Servicer
has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust Fund or (ii)
assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 3.02.     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and
interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Master Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments due under the terms and provisions of
each

                                       60

<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, follow
such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates
for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than
180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not
affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be
required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the amendment if the
aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived
or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut off Date. In
the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master
Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension
pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such
Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than
the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications,
variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences
collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in
determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue,
the Master Servicer shall adhere to the Loss Mitigation Action Plan. The Master
Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the Servicing Standard and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan
shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were
made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the Servicing
Standard, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds, without
reimbursement, the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and any
successor Master Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.03.     Notification of Adjustments.

                  On each Adjustment Date, the Master Servicer shall make
interest rate adjustments for each Group II Mortgage Loan in compliance with the
requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable
Regulations. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required
by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding interest
rate adjustments. The Master Servicer also shall provide timely notification to
the Trustee and the Guarantor of all applicable data and information regarding
such interest rate adjustments and the Master Servicer's methods of implementing
such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee that the Master Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly
adjusted a Mortgage Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall immediately
deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest
loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the
Master Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any interest rate
adjustments made by any master servicer prior to the Master Servicer.

                  SECTION 3.04.     Collection Account, Escrow Account and
                                    Distribution Account.

                  (a) Collection Account. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account") in
accordance with this Section 3.04, held in trust for the benefit of the

                                       61

Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  (b) Deposits to the Collection Account. The Master Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account
must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the
Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of
such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise
required hereunder, and retain therein, the following payments and collections
received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on
or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
         Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties;

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
         and REO Properties adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other
         than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the
         restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
         Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and any amounts
         received in respect of the rental of any REO Property prior to REO
         Disposition;

                  (iv) all proceeds related to the purchase, substitution or
         repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with
         Section 2.03;

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 in connection with the deductible
         clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made
         from the Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

                  (vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with any losses
         realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
         Collection Account;

                  (vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 in connection with an error in the
         interest rate adjustments calculated by the Master servicer for any
         Group II Mortgage Loan; and

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master
         Servicer, all Prepayment Charges payable by the Master Servicer
         pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(ii)(A) and all Master Servicer Prepayment
         Charge Payments Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to
         Section 2.03(e)(ii)(B) as limited by Section 2.03(e)(iii).

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit to the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, modification fees and
other ancillary fees (but not Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Collection Account and shall upon collection, belong to
the Master Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In
the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  (c) Escrow Account. The Master Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which
constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Escrow Account") held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                                       62

                  (d) Deposits to the Escrow Account. The Master Servicer shall

Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Escrow Account,

         restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

                  (e) Distribution Account. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
this Agreement separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust one or more segregated
accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  (f) Trustee Deposits to the Distribution Account. Upon

3.06 in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to
funds held in the Distribution Account.

                  (g) Master Servicer Transfer of Funds to the Distribution

                  (ii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees,
         (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and (c) any unreimbursed
         Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to
         this subclause (ii) being limited to any Late Collections, Liquidation
         Proceeds, and Insurance Proceeds received on the related Mortgage Loan
         and any amounts received in respect of the rental of the related REO
         Property prior to an REO Disposition that represent payments of

         Servicer in respect of any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds
         held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not
         included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

                  (viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
         by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03, up
         to an amount equal to $500,000 in any calendar year (any amounts in
         excess thereof being reimbursable in accordance with Section
         4.01(a)(vi));

                  (ix) to remit to the Trustee any amounts that the Trustee is
         permitted to be paid or reimbursed from the assets of the Trust Fund
         pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the terms of Section
         7.02(a) and Section 8.05 of this Agreement, up to an amount equal to
         $100,000 in any calendar year (any amounts in excess thereof being
         reimbursable in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(vii) and provided that
         any amount still remaining unpaid to the Trustee in any calender year
         shall be reimbursable from any subsequent calendar years, subject to
         the foregoing cap, until fully paid);

                  (x) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the
         Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller), the Guarantor or
         the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably
         incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase
         obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in
         the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising
         out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation; provided, however,
         that the reimbursement to the NIMS Insurer pursuant to this clause
         shall be limited to an annual amount of $25,000;

                  (xi) to transfer funds in the Collection Account maintained at
         a particular depository to the Collection Account maintained at a
         different depository, pursuant to Section 3.04(i); and

                  (xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
         termination of this Agreement.

                  The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (b) Escrow Account. The Master Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Escrow Account for the following purposes:

                  (i) to effect payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
         water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items;

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

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

                  (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with
         the terms of this Agreement;

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

                                       65

<PAGE>

                  (vi) to pay to the Master Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the
         extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations,
         any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

                  (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the
         termination of this Agreement; and

                  (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any Insurance
         Proceeds.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer
shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the
extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient,
shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
The Master Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow
Account, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard,
is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors
or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.

                  (c) Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, from time to
time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following
purposes:

                  (i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance
         with Section 4.01;

                  (ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant
         to Section 8.05;

                  (iii) to pay itself any interest income earned on funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.06;

                  (iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and
         Section 7.02(a); and

                  (v) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 9.01.

                  SECTION 3.06.     Investment of Funds in the Collection
                                    Account, the Escrow Account, the REO Account
                                    and the Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)), and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account, (for purposes of this Section
3.06, each an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment
Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in
its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee
shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment
direction of funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the
REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on
funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account)
the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together
with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Trustee shall:

                  (i) consistent with any notice required to be given
         thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
         Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
         to the

                                       66

<PAGE>

         lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
         required to be withdrawn on such date; and

                  (ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
         upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such
         Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
         respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

                  (b) All income in the nature of interest from the investment
of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
compensation for the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and
the REO Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in respect of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss.

                  (c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee as compensation for the Trustee's services pursuant to this Agreement.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the
amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution
Account.

                  (d) Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts, the Interest
Coverage Accounts and the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested
in permitted investments in accordance with this Section 3.06 subject to any
limitations set forth in Section 4.10 (with respect to the Pre-Funding
Accounts), Section 4.11 (with respect to the Interest Coverage Accounts) and
Section 4.12 (with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) and
any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than
50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such
action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including
the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

                  SECTION 3.07.     Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other
                                    Charges.

                  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and,
as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including
renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the
Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master
Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of
the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent
that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become
due and shall ensure that the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a
result of nonpayment and that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.

                  SECTION 3.08.     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary
in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing the Mortgage Loan

                                       67

<PAGE>

and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood
insurance has been made available, the Master Servicer will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof meeting the requirements
of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a
generally acceptable insurance carrier. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the least of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan, (ii) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the
Mortgage Loan and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under
the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, each as amended. The Master Servicer shall also maintain on the REO
Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor, (x) fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal
to the lesser of (i) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such property and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan at the time it became a REO Property, (y) public liability
insurance covered under the Master Servicer's general liability policy and, (z)
to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, each as amended, flood
insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the
Master Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect
of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss
payable to the Master Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty days prior
written notice to the Master Servicer of any cancellation, reduction in the
amount of or material change in coverage to the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies
unless such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:III or
better in Best's Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state
wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

                  SECTION 3.09.     Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance
                                    Policy.

                  In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating
of B:III or better in Best's Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on
all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in
an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.08 and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 3.08, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.08, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying
with Section 3.08, and there shall have been a loss which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as master servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the
Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance
with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy
and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event
be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to
the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.10.     Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions
                                    Insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a
blanket fidelity bond (the "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions
insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on
all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to
the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the
Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in
the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the
Master Servicer against losses, including

                                       68

<PAGE>

forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of
such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Master
Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance
policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of
a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.10 requiring the Fidelity Bond
and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer
from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum
coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the
corresponding amounts required by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Master
Servicer's Guide. Upon request of the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, the Master
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, as
applicable, a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions
insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no event be
terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice to
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

                  SECTION 3.11.     Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and
                                    Substitution Agreements.

                  When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed
by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of
such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the
maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained
in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole business
judgment the Master Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the
Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. In such event, the Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to
enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such
property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law
or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not
permitted under applicable law, the Master Servicer is authorized to enter into
a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note provided that no such
substitution should be permitted unless such person satisfies the underwriting
criteria of the Master Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to
that of the original Mortgagor. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in
all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption
or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the
Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee to
the related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly
Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in
effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity
or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor
shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or
forgiven. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for consenting to any such
conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be
retained by or paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever.

                  SECTION 3.12.     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard and specifically the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs
and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that
such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13.

                                       69

<PAGE>

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.12, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer
shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of, or
in lieu of, foreclosure or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be
considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an
owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a customary
report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using
customary industry standards, stating that:

                  (1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
         environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
         interest of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor to take such
         actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into
         compliance therewith; and

                  (2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
         Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
         substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum based
         materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
         clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
         local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
         which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
         economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor to take
         such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

                  If the Master Servicer determines, with the consent of the
Guarantor, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders
and the Guarantor to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such
Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to
take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the
Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  Any environmental audit report relied upon by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.12(b) shall be acceptable to the Guarantor
and prepared by a Person, agreed upon by the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer;
provided, however, that the Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer, but
the final decision to approve such Person shall be in the Guarantor's sole
discretion.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report and any
environmental compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation costs
contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer,
subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05, such right of reimbursement
being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other
Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances,
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii) or (iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third,
as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery
so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 3.13.     Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                    Property.

                  (a) TITLE. The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered to take title in, and transfer title from, the name of the Trustee
pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01 without further
documentation of the Master Servicer's status as attorney-in-fact for the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust for any action described in this Section 3.13. In
the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor,
or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real
property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely
affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding
title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person
or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the
Master Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state
where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title
other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being
held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee.

                  (b) REO ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall separately account
for all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO
Property and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, with respect to REO Properties, an account held in trust for the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which
shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow
the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers
for each REO Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account as
additional servicing compensation.

                  The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, in
the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues
received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO
Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the
Master Servicer. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the
Master Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances or
Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Master Servicer, upon an REO
Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related (a) unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) unreimbursed Advances, and (c)
unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such
REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to
the Master Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the REO Account. On
or before each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each
REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account the net receipts from the
REO Property on deposit in the REO Account and retain any interest.

                  (c) MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION. Subject only to the REMIC
restrictions set forth in Section 3.13(d) below, the Master Servicer shall use
its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically
consistent with the Servicing Standard at such price and upon such terms and
conditions as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

                  Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the
Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from
existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO Property to
the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the
date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:

                  (i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend
         any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its
         terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from
         Real Property;

                  (ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any
         New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
         Property;

                                       71

<PAGE>

                  (iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other
         than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
         then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building
         or other improvement was completed before default on the related
         Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
         856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

                  (iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property
         on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the
         Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, (A) the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, to the
effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at
any time that it is held by REMIC 1, and (B) the Master Servicer has received
written notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer that the specific action may be taken.

                  The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

                  (i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
         inconsistent herewith;

                  (ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
         to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
         incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
         Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues
         (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as
         practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
         receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

                  (iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating
         to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its
         duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the
         Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
         such REO Property; and

                  (iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect
         thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties
         and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such
         REO Property.

                  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to
its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer
by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is
sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent
Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be
permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement (including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan).

                  In the event the Master Servicer temporarily rents any REO
Property it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Guarantor, upon reasonable
request, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for
each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous
month. Such operation statement shall be accompanied by such other information
as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

                  Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in
the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Master Servicer to
the effect that such sale shall not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC).

                  (d) REMIC RESTRICTIONS. The Master Servicer shall have the
full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements of the
Servicing Standard, to effect, for the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the

                                       72

<PAGE>

Trust Fund, the prompt disposition and sale of any REO Property in a manner
which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the
receipt by the related REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within
the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

                  In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property as soon as
practical and in any event not later than the end of the third taxable year
after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer
has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the
effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation
and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property
for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC
or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the
Master Servicer has received such an extension, then the Master Servicer shall
continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such
period longer than three years as such extension permits (the "Extended
Period"). If the Master Servicer has not received such an extension and the
Master Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending
three months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by
the Trust Fund or if the Master Servicer has received such an extension, and the
Master Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending
three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall,
before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable,
(i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair
market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may
be the Master Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair
price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period,
as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action
reasonably requested by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer determines
would enable the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such
grant of extension.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO
Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to
be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner
or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal
income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes
imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Master
Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect
to the imposition of any such taxes.

                  (e) DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS. The Holders of the Class R
Certificates shall be deemed to have purchased the ownership interest held by
the Holders of the Regular Certificates in any Liquidated Mortgage Loan. After
such repurchase, the Master Servicer, if requested by such Certificateholders
and if offered suitable indemnification and reimbursement for expenses, may seek
a deficiency judgment to the extent permitted by law against the Mortgagor under
such Liquidated Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Holders of the Class R
Certificates to the extent of any Realized Loss.

                  SECTION 3.14.     REO Property Inspections.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be
inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each
REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Master Servicer
shall make or cause to be made an electronic report of each such inspection.
Such reports shall be retained by the Master Servicer and versions thereof shall
be forwarded by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Guarantor upon
request.

                  SECTION 3.15.     Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of
                                    Mortgaged Properties.

                  On or before May 31st of each year beginning in 2003, the
Master Servicer shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any
Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and cancellation of
indebtedness required under Section 6050P of the Code with the Internal Revenue
Service. The reports from the Master Servicer shall be made in a timely fashion
and in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed
by such Section 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

                                       73

                  SECTION 3.16.     Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage
                                    Loans by the NIMS Insurer or the Master
                                    Servicer.

                  (a) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage
Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Master
Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In exercising this optional
right of repurchase, the NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting
Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders or the Guarantor.

                  (b) During the first full calendar month (but excluding the
last Business Day thereof) following a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
becoming 90 days or more delinquent, the Master Servicer shall have the option,
but not the obligation to purchase from the Trust Fund any such Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property that is then still 90 days or more delinquent, which the
Master Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to
foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in
writing to the Trustee and the Guarantor prior to purchase).

                  If with respect to any delinquent Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, the option of the Master Servicer set forth in the preceding paragraph
shall have arisen but the Master Servicer shall have failed to exercise such
option on or before the Business Day preceding the last Business Day of the
calendar month following the calendar month during which such Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property first became 90 days or more delinquent, then such option
shall automatically expire; provided, however, that if any such Mortgage Loan
shall cease to be 90 days or more delinquent but then subsequently shall again
become 90 days or more delinquent, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
another repurchase option with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and the related
REO Property) as provided in the preceding paragraph.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if the Master Servicer
purchases any delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(b), it
must purchase Mortgage Loans that are delinquent the greatest number of days
before it may purchase any that are delinquent any fewer number of days; (ii) if
the Master Servicer purchases some but not all Mortgage Loans that are
delinquent any given number of days, it must purchase Mortgage Loans having the
same delinquency status in the order of lowest Principal Balance to highest
Principal Balance; (iii) if with respect to any Distribution Date, the Guarantor
shall have consented in writing to the calculation of the Overcollateralization
Target Amount without regard to delinquency status of the Mortgage Pool, then
the Master Servicer shall not have the right to purchase any delinquent Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) during the related Prepayment Period;
(iv) the Master Servicer may at any time relinquish its rights to purchase
delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) in writing delivered
to the Trustee and the Guarantor, and from and after the taking of such action
by the Master Servicer, the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) permitting the
purchase by the Master Servicer shall no longer be of any force or effect.

                  (c) Any Mortgage Loan or REO Property to be purchased pursuant
to Section 3.16(a)or (b) shall be purchased at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. Any purchase of a Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property pursuant to
Section 3.16(a) by the NIMS Insurer shall be accomplished by remittance of the
Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account. Any
purchase of a Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property pursuant to Section
3.16(b) by the Master Servicer shall be accomplished by deposit of the Purchase
Price in the Collection Account. Upon written certification of such deposit, the
Trustee shall release, or cause a Custodian to release, the related Mortgage
File to the purchaser (or its designee) and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
purchaser shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser title
to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property repurchased pursuant hereto.

                  SECTION 3.17.     Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic
format, a completed Request for Release (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such

                                       74

<PAGE>

payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.04 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer
(or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature
on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to
it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee shall, within three Business Days, release the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Master Servicer, out of
its own funds, for any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Master
Servicer as a direct result of the negligence or wilful misconduct by the
Trustee in releasing the related Mortgage File as provided above. Upon any such
payment in full, or the receipt of such certification, the Seller, the Guarantor
and the Trustee hereby authorize and empower the Master Servicer to execute an
instrument of satisfaction regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be delivered to the Person or
Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full. No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of
any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other
comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any insurance
policy relating to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the
payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage File is released
to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon
written request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in written
(with two executed copies) or electronic format, of a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will,
in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release
the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer within three Business Days and
shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse
of the related Mortgage to the Master Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt a Request for Release, in written
(with two executed copies) or electronic format, evidencing such liquidation,
the receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.

                  (c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien
of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of
the foreclosure or trustee's sale.

                  SECTION 3.18.     Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan. Such Servicing Fees shall be retained as
contemplated in Section 3.04(b)(ii); provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections,
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.05(a)(ii), out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13 and from general funds in the
Collection Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The right to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a subservicer
pursuant to a subservicing agreement entered into under Section 6.06.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, modification fees, extension fees, insufficient
funds charges, ancillary income or otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges)
shall be retained by the Master Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges
are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled,
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi), to withdraw from the Collection Account,
pursuant to

                                       75

<PAGE>

Section 3.04(h), to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section
3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation,
interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess, which
it may withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(iv).

                  SECTION 3.19.     Annual Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Master Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the
Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor, not later than March
15th following the end of each calendar year, a Servicing Officer's certificate
stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Master Servicer during such preceding fiscal year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each
such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including
the steps being taken by the Master Servicer to remedy such default.

                  SECTION 3.20.     Annual Independent Certified Public
                                    Accountants' Reports.

                  Not later than March 15th following the end of each calendar
year, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor a report stating that (i) it has
obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the
management of the Master Servicer which includes an assertion that the Master
Servicer has complied with certain residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such
firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by subservicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
subservicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer shall
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer
and the Guarantor. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to
any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided
that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21.     Access to Certain Documentation and
                                    Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and Certificateholders that are federally insured
savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and
the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the
case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state
and federal regulations) access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer
designated by it.

                  (b) If any Mortgage Loan (i) is in foreclosure, (ii) defaults
on its first Monthly Payment and remains delinquent for 60 days or more, (iii)
becomes delinquent during the first twelve months of the term thereof and
remains delinquent for 60 days or more or (iv) is a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will forward to the Guarantor, upon
reasonable request, copies of the contents of the related Mortgage File and all
underwriting documentation with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is required
to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

                  If the Guarantor determines, after consultation with the
Seller, that such Mortgage Loan was not originated generally in accordance with
the Seller's Underwriting Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit L in any
material respect, then the Seller shall follow the procedures set forth in
Section 2.03. Such action on the part of the Seller in

                                       76

<PAGE>

accordance with Section 2.03 shall take place within 90 days of the Seller
having been notified by the Guarantor of the need to act pursuant to Section
2.03; provided, however, that no such procedure shall be followed if such action
may (A) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the
Trust, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (B) contributions to any Trust
REMIC after the "startup day," as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or (C)
cause the portion of the Trust Fund assets with respect to which a REMIC
election was made to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificate is
outstanding.

                  (c) Within 90 days after the last Subsequent Transfer Date, or
such later time as the Master Servicer and the Guarantor may agree, the
Guarantor will be permitted, upon reasonable notice and during normal business
hours, at the office of the Master Servicer, to review copies of the contents of
the Mortgage Files and the underwriting documentation that is required to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant hereto with respect to up to the greater of
(i) 800 of the Mortgage Files and (ii) 10% (by number) of the Mortgage Loans (a
"Mortgage Loan Sample"), in order to ascertain whether each such Mortgage Loan
was originated generally in accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines
in any material respect. In addition, the Guarantor will be permitted, upon
reasonable notice and during normal business hours, at the office of the Master
Servicer, to review copies of the contents of the Mortgage Files and the
underwriting documentation that is required to be delivered to the Trustee
pursuant hereto with respect to an additional 75 of the Mortgage Files which are
not part of the foregoing Mortgage Loan Sample. If, as a result of such
investigation, the Guarantor determines (after the appeals process set forth in
the Freddie Mac Single Family Seller/Servicer Guide) that more than 20% (by
number) of the Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Loan Sample were not so
underwritten, the Master Servicer will permit the Guarantor to review an
additional Mortgage Loan Sample in accordance with the same procedures until the
Guarantor has reviewed a Mortgage Loan Sample that contains fewer than 20% (by
number) of Mortgage Loans that were not originated generally in accordance with
the Seller's underwriting guidelines in any material respect. Any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer related to such review shall be
reimbursed by the Seller.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have the
right to collect data on an additional 1,200 Mortgage Loans over and above the
Mortgage Loans reviewed in the procedures described in the immediately preceding
paragraph.

                  (d) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, the
Guarantor may contact the Seller to confirm that the Seller continues to
actively engage in a program to originate mortgage loans to low-income families
and to obtain other non-proprietary information about the Seller's activities
that may assist the Guarantor in completing its own regulatory requirements. The
Seller shall use its best efforts to provide such information to the Guarantor.

                  (e) In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide a copy of
this Agreement, promptly following receipt of a written request therefor, to any
investor in the certificates issued by the Guarantor, which have been offered
pursuant to the Offering Circular and which are backed by the Guaranteed
Certificates.

                  SECTION 3.22.     Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer agrees
that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by
any of its agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or
independent mortgage brokerage companies on the Master Servicer's behalf, to
personally, by telephone, mail or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under
any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided,
that the Master Servicer may solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Master Servicer
has received a request for verification of mortgage, a request for demand for
payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or verbal communication indicating a
desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, or the mortgagor initiates a title
search; provided further, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken
by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates which (i) concern optional
insurance products or other additional products or (ii) are directed to the
general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on
commercially developed mailing lists, billboards, newspaper, radio, television,
the internet and website advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under
this Section, nor is the Master Servicer prohibited from responding to
unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a
Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall be permitted to include in its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability

                                       77

of the Master Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.

                  SECTION 3.23.     Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the Guarantor and NIMS Insurer,
is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an "Advance Facility") with any
Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund Advances
and/or Servicing Advances under this Agreement, although no such facility shall
reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such
Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an
Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request of the
Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment,
confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility.

                  To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or
any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee and the Guarantor with written
notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is
entitled to reimbursement directly from the amounts held on behalf of the Trust
Fund by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice
from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the
Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing
Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle
the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the amounts held on behalf of
the Trust Fund by the Trustee rather than by the Master Servicer, and include
the Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of an event of default
under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without
independent investigation on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to
this Section 3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited
to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to
meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a subservicer pursuant to
Section 6.06 hereof and will not be deemed to be a subservicer under this
Agreement. If the terms of an Advance Facility proposed to be entered into with
an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not, in the absence of the
Guarantee, materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the
Trust Fund's entering such facility.

                  (b) If an Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement for
any particular Advance and/or Servicing Advance as set forth in Section 3.23(a),
then the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor
under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section
3.05(a)(vi), but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g). The
Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for
Advances and/or Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for
such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii),
Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vi), as the case may
be, had the Master Servicer made such Advance and/or Servicing Advance. Unless
otherwise consented to by the Guarantor, an Advancing Person is not entitled to
be reimbursed by the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances from funds held in
the Collection Account for any future distribution pursuant to Section 4.04(b)
or 3.05(a)(vii).

                  (c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in first out" (FIFO) basis.

                  (d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master
Servicer's right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of
such Advancing Person's financing of Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder
then remaining unreimbursed.

                  (iii) to the Holders of the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class

         Amount for such Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal
         Balance of the Class CE Certificates has been reduced to zero; and

                  (xi) on each Distribution Date, any remaining amounts, after
         giving effect to the distributions in clauses (i) through (ix) above,
         will be paid to the Holders of the Class R Certificates; provided that
         if such Distribution Date follows the Prepayment Period in which will
         occur the expiration of the latest expiring Prepayment Charge on any
         Mortgage Loan (as indicated on the Prepayment Charge Schedule as the
         same shall have been updated after the Funding Period to reflect the
         addition of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans), then any such remaining
         amounts will be distributed first, to the Holders of the Class P
         Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P
         Certificates has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of
         the Class R Certificates.

                  On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of
the Available Funds as set forth above, the Trustee will first, withdraw from
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account all income from the investment of
funds in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and distribute such amount
to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, and second, withdraw from the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts remaining on
deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class S Certificates for such
Distribution Date and distribute such amount first, concurrently to the Class A
Certificates and the Class S Certificates on a PRO RATA basis based on the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount of each such Class, until each such amount has been
paid in full; second, to the Class M-1 Certificates and third, to the Class M-2
Certificates.

                  On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment
Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment
Period and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Amounts paid by the Master
Servicer during the related Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class
P Certificates and shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of any
other Class of Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders
of the Class P Certificates shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate
Principal Balances thereof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a
Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date
(other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in
the case of Certificateholders of the Regular Certificates, by wire transfer by
12:00 noon (New York time). The failure of the Trustee to make distributions to
Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01(a) due to the negligence or
wilful misconduct of the Trustee will result in the Trustee being obligated to
pay to the Certificateholders an amount equal to the interest lost as a result
of the Trustee's failure to make such distribution, plus a $100 fee.
Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in proportion to the
Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such
Certificateholders.

                  Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.

                  SECTION 4.02.     The Guarantee.

                  On each Distribution Date following receipt of a statement (as
set forth in Section 4.05) that indicates a Deficiency Amount for such
Distribution Date, the Guarantor shall distribute a Guarantor Payment in an
aggregate amount equal to the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date
directly to the Holders of the Guaranteed Certificates, without first depositing
such amount in the Distribution Account, as follows: (i) the portion of any such
Deficiency

                                       81

Amount related to clause (i) of the definition of Deficiency Amount shall be
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders, and the Class S
Certificateholders on a PRO RATA basis based on the Interest Distributable
Amount payable on such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date; and
(ii) the portion of any such Deficiency Amount related to clause (ii) of the
definition of Deficiency Amount shall be distributed to the Class A
Certificateholders and shall be allocated (a) among the Classes of Class AF
Certificates in the priority as described in Section 4.01(c) and (b) on a PRO
RATA basis between the Class AF Certificates and the Class AV Certificates based
on the Class AF Allocation Percentage and the Class AV Allocation Percentage,
respectively.

         to be made to the Holders of the Class P Certificates allocable to

         request in such format as reasonably requested by the Guarantor and any
         other information that is required by the Code and regulations
         thereunder to be made available to Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee shall provide or make available such report to the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer in such format as reasonably requested by the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer and to Bloomberg in such format as the Trustee
and Bloomberg may agree, on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall
make such report (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same
information in an alternative format) available each month via the Trustee's
Internet website. The Trustee's Internet website shall initially be located at
"http:\\www.corporatetrust.db.com." Assistance in using the website can be
obtained by calling the Trustee's investor relations desk at (800) 735-7777. The
Trustee shall have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in
order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the
above Persons, and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification
regarding any such changes to the other parties to this Agreement and to all
Certificateholders. The Trustee may fully rely upon and shall have no liability
with respect to information provided by the Master Servicer.

                  In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i) through (iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of
the report as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 of Initial
Certificate Principal Balance or aggregate initial Notional Amount as of the
Closing Date.

                  (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and
each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of
a Regular Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information
as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the
information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
prepared and furnished by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to any
requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.

                  (c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall forward to
the Class R Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders in respect of such Distribution Date with such other
information as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate.

                  (d) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Class R Certificateholder, if requested in writing by
such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such
Person a statement containing the information provided pursuant to the previous
paragraph aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such Person was a Class R Certificateholder. Such obligation of the
Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to Certificateholders by
the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in
force.

                  (e) By not later than the third Distribution Date, the Trustee
is required to (i) confirm, to the

                                       84

<PAGE>

extent such data is available in the Information Circular or from Banc of
America Securities LLC , that the cash flows, weighted average lives, yields and
credit enhancement default analysis for the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine
Certificates and the Class S Certificates as presented in the Information
Circular are correct therein based on the assumptions and principal and interest
methodology described in the Information Circular and are consistent with the
model developed by the Trustee for the calculations that the Trustee is required
to make hereunder and (ii) notify the Guarantor that the information referred to
in clause (i) above is consistent with the model developed by the Trustee.

                  SECTION 4.04.     Master Servicer Remittance Reports; Advances
                                    and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  (a) On or before the third Business Day following each
Determination Date, by 12:00 p.m. (California time), but in no event later than
the earlier of (i) such date which would allow the indenture trustee to submit a
claim to the NIMS Insurer under the Indenture so as to allow a timely payment by
the NIMS Insurer under the insurance policy related to the notes insured by the
NIMS Insurer and (ii) the 20th day of each month (or if such 20th day is not a
Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Master Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer by electronic mail (or by such other means as
the Master Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Master
Servicer Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not
later than the third Business Day following a Determination Date by 3:00 p.m.
(New York time), the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Trustee in addition to the information provided on the Master Servicer
Remittance Report, such other information reasonably available to it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform
the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section
4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.03. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify
any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of
(i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee),
due during the related Due Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Due
Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the
related Due Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed
Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over
the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date.

                  On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date (i) from its own
funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein
for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate
entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for future
distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Master
Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an
Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn from funds in excess
of Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date by the Master Servicer as
permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances previously made
shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records, which
information the Master Servicer will provide to the Guarantor upon the
Guarantor's request, and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to
the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date
(determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed
to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such
Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so
used to make Advances or reimburse for Advances previously made. The Trustee
will provide notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by
3:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event
that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is
less than the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the
related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.
Notwithstanding the above, the Guarantor shall have the right to require, at any
time,

                                       85

<PAGE>

the Master Servicer to remit, from its own funds, prior to the next succeeding
Master Servicer Remittance Date after notice to the Master Servicer, to the
Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Advances
previously made out of funds from the Collection Account, and not theretofore
repaid from collections on the related Mortgage Loans, and related Advances then
due, if, in its reasonable judgment and after giving reasonable consideration to
the general economic climate, the Guarantor determines such action is necessary
to protect its interest. In such event, (i) the Master Servicer shall thereafter
remit to the Trustee out of the Master Servicer's own funds all Advances
required to be made and (ii) the Guarantee Fee with respect to the Guaranteed
Certificates shall become payable on the basis of a 360- day year of twelve
30-day months.

                  Nothing in this Section 4.04(b) shall be construed to prohibit
the Master Servicer from reimbursing itself at any time from the Collection
Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii),
Section 3.05(a)(vii) and Section 3.05(a)(viii).

                  (c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such
Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but
subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue
until the Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until the recovery of all Liquidation
Proceeds thereon.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee.

                  (e) Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Distribution
Account an amount ("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the
aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution
Date resulting from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period
and (B) its aggregate Servicing Fee due in the related Due Period. The Master
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall
be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 4.05.     The Trustee Remittance Report.

                  (a) On each Trustee Reporting Date by noon New York time, the
Trustee shall furnish a report (the "Trustee Remittance Report") in the form
attached as Exhibit N to this Agreement (together with a statement containing
the information that is required to be included in the statement to be prepared
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03) to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer
by electronic medium as agreed to by the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer.

                  (b) Subject to paragraph (d) below, if in any month the
Trustee fails to deliver the Trustee Remittance Report by noon New York time on
the related Trustee Reporting Date, the Guarantor shall use its best efforts to
determine the amount of any required Guarantor Payment. If on any Distribution
Date the Guarantor makes any Guarantor Payment as a result of such failure of
the Trustee to deliver the Trustee Remittance Report, the Trustee shall pay the
Guarantor from its own funds (not from the proceeds of the Trust Fund), not
later than the fourth Business Day following such Distribution Date, a $100 fee
plus an amount equal to the product of (i) the principal portion of such
Guarantor Payment, (ii) a percentage equal to (A) the Prime Rate plus 2.00%
divided by (B) 365 and (iii) the number of days between the Trustee Reporting
Date and the date on which the Guarantor received the Trustee Remittance Report.

                  (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, if in any month the
Trustee fails to provide the Guarantor the Trustee Remittance Report on or prior
to the Trustee Reporting Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Guarantor the
following amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second
such failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure,

                                       86

<PAGE>

$1,000; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to make any
such payment upon the first such failure during each successive two year period
following the Closing Date. The fourth consecutive such failure to provide a
Trustee Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.05(a) shall
constitute an event of default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Trustee
for cause.

                  (d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability
(including removal as Trustee) under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.05
if the Trustee's failure to timely deliver the Trustee Remittance Report is due
to the failure of the Master Servicer to furnish the Trustee with a report in
accordance with Section 4.04(a). If the Trustee's failure to timely deliver the
Trustee Remittance Report is due to the failure of the Master Servicer to
furnish the Trustee with a report in accordance with Section 4.04(a), the Master
Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the amount set forth in Section 4.05(b)
above (i.e. the product of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
of Section 4.05(b) above) and the following additional amounts: (i) upon the
first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such failure, $750; and (iii)
upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not be required to make any such payment upon the first such failure
during each successive two year period following the Closing Date. The fourth
consecutive such failure to provide the Trustee with a report in accordance with
Section 4.04(a) and thereby causing the Trustee's failure to timely deliver a
Trustee Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.05(a) shall
constitute an event of default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Master
Servicer for cause.

                  (e) On each Trustee Reporting Date by noon New York time, the
Trustee shall forward a Liquidation Report for the related Distribution Date (in
the form attached as Exhibit K to this Agreement) to the Guarantor and the NIMS
Insurer by electronic medium as agreed to by the Trustee, the Guarantor and the
NIMS Insurer, to the extent that the Trustee has received from the Master
Servicer such Liquidation Report.

                  SECTION 4.06.     Loan Data Remittance Report.

                  (a) On each Loan Data Reporting Date by noon Pacific Time, the
Master Servicer shall furnish a complete and accurate report (the "Loan Data
Remittance Report") in the form attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement to the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer by electronic medium as agreed to by the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor. In addition, the Master Servicer
shall (i) furnish to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer a report with respect to
the Mortgage Loans that have been voluntarily repurchased by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.16 during the related Prepayment Period indicating the
Mortgage Loan number, the date of repurchase and the Principal Balance of each
Mortgage Loan so repurchased; (ii) furnish to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer
a Monthly Appraisal Defects Report and a Monthly Quality Control Report, each in
form and substance satisfactory to the Guarantor and (iii) furnish to the NIMS
Insurer a monthly report indicating each Mortgage Loan number, Principal
Balance, Prepayment Charges due, Prepayment Charges collected, Servicer
Prepayment Charges remitted and the reason for any Prepayment Charge being
waived.

                  (b) If in any month the Master Servicer fails to provide the
Guarantor the Loan Data Remittance Report on or prior to the Loan Data Reporting
Date or if such report is deemed to be materially incomplete or inaccurate by
the Guarantor, the Master Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the following
amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such
failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such payment upon the
first such failure during each successive two year period following the Closing
Date. The fourth consecutive such failure to provide a Loan Data Remittance
Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.06(a) shall constitute an event of
default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Master Servicer for cause.

                  SECTION 4.07.     Compliance with Withholding.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the

                                       87

<PAGE>

amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.08.     Distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC

                  REMIC 3 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; provided that
                  REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-P shall not be reduced until the
                  Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the
                  latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment
                  Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, at which
                  point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 3 Regular

to Holders of (i) REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-AA and REMIC 3 Regular Interest
LT3-P, in that order and (ii) REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-ZZ, respectively;
provided that REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-P shall not be reduced until the
Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment
Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 3 Regular
Interest LT3-P, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.

                  SECTION 4.09.     Allocation of Principal Losses.

                  (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been

Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be
allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of those Certificates on any

made on such Distribution Date as provided above. All references above to the
Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case
to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to
a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(x). No allocations of any Realized
Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A
Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1-A and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-B until the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to
zero; provided however, with respect to the first two Distribution Dates, all
Realized Losses on the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, and all Realized
Losses on the Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1
Regular Interest LT1-B until the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans shall
be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1-C and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-D until the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to
zero; provided however, with respect to the first two Distribution Dates, all
Realized Losses on the Initial Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-C until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of

Losses on the Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1
Regular Interest LT1-D until the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof has

Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-AA
and REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3- ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the
REMIC 3 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to
the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-AA and
REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 3

Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-AA, REMIC 3
Regular Interest LT3-M2 and REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC 3 Regular Interest
LT3-M2 has been reduced to zero; and fourth to the Uncertificated Principal
Balances of REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-AA, REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-M1 and
REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3- M1 has been
reduced to zero.

                  SECTION 4.10.     Pre-Funding Accounts.

                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain two segregated trust accounts that are each Eligible
Accounts, which shall be titled, "Group I Pre-Funding Account, Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of
Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002-C" (the "Group I Pre-Funding
Account") and "Group II Pre-Funding Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage
Securities Inc., Series 2002-C" (the "Group II Pre- Funding Account"). The
Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Pre-Funding
Account and retain therein the Group I Original Pre-Funded Amount and the Group
II Original Pre-Funded Amount, as applicable, remitted on the Closing Date to
the Trustee by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall
be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for the uses and
purposes set forth herein.

                  (b) The Trustee will invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding
Accounts as directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments with a
maturity date (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the
Trustee manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee manages or advises such
investment. For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of
the Pre-Funding Accounts and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain
or loss arising therefrom. All income and gain realized from investment of funds
deposited in the Group I Pre-Funding Account and the Group II Pre-Funding

                                       91

<PAGE>

Account shall be transferred to the Group I Interest Coverage Account and the
Group II Interest Coverage Account, as applicable, at the following times: (i)
on the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, if a Person
other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee manages or advises such
investment, or on each Distribution Date, if the Trustee or an Affiliate of the
Trustee manages or advises such investment, (ii) on the Business Day immediately
preceding each Subsequent Transfer Date, if a Person other than the Trustee or
an Affiliate of the Trustee manages or advises such investment, or on each
Subsequent Transfer Date, if the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee manages
or advises such investment or (iii) within one Business Day of the Trustee's
receipt thereof. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts
the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment
immediately upon realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement
therefor. At no time will the Pre-Funding Accounts be an asset of any Trust
REMIC.

                  (c) Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee as follows:

                  (i) On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
         withdraw from the Group I Pre-Funding Account or the Group II
         Pre-Funding Account, as applicable, an amount equal to 100% of the
         Principal Balances of the Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans or the
         Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans, as applicable, transferred and
         assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool on such
         Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of
         the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
         2.08 with respect to such transfer and assignment;

                  (ii) If the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts
         (exclusive of any investment income) has not been reduced to zero
         during the Funding Period, on the day immediately following the
         termination of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall deposit into the
         Distribution Account any amount remaining in the Pre- Funding Accounts
         (exclusive of any investment income) for distribution in accordance
         with the terms hereof;

                  (iii) The Trustee shall withdraw any amount not required to be
         deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts or deposited therein in error;
         and

                  (iv) The Trustee shall clear and terminate the Pre-Funding
         Accounts upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Distribution Date
         immediately following the end of the Funding Period and (B) the
         termination of this Agreement, with any amounts remaining on deposit
         therein being paid to the Holders of the Certificates then entitled to
         distributions in respect of principal.

                  Withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) shall be
treated as contributions of cash to REMIC 1 on the date of withdrawal.

                  SECTION 4.11.     Interest Coverage Accounts.

                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain two segregated trust accounts that are each Eligible
Accounts, which shall be titled, "Group I Interest Coverage Account, Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of
Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002- C" (the "Group I Interest
Coverage Account") and "Group II Interest Coverage Account, Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of
Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002-C" (the "Group II Interest
Coverage Account"). The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
Group I Interest Coverage Account and the Group II Interest Coverage Account,
and retain therein the Group I Interest Coverage Amount and the Group II
Interest Coverage Amount, respectively, remitted on the Closing Date to the
Trustee by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Accounts
shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for the uses
and purposes set forth herein.

                  (b) For federal income tax purposes, the Master Servicer shall
be the owner of the Interest Coverage Accounts and shall report all items of
income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. At no time will the Interest
Coverage Accounts be an asset of any Trust REMIC. All income and gain realized
from investment of funds

                                       92

<PAGE>

deposited in the Interest Coverage Accounts shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be remitted by the Trustee to the
Master Servicer no later than the first Business Day following receipt of such
income and gain by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Interest Coverage Accounts the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any
such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

                  (c) On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period and on
the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period, the
Trustee shall withdraw from the Group I Interest Coverage Account and the Group
II Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Distribution Account an amount
equal to 30 days' interest on the excess, if any, of the Group I Original
Pre-Funded Amount or the Group II Original Pre-Funded Amount, as applicable,
over the aggregate Principal Balance of Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans or
Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans, as applicable, that both (i) had a Due Date
during the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date and (ii) had a
Subsequent Cut-off Date prior to the first day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs, at a per annum rate equal to (A) the Pass-Through Rate
of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution
Date plus (B) 0.5516% plus (C) the Guarantee Fee Rate applicable to the
Guaranteed Certificates, solely for the purposes of the foregoing calculation,
each being multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number
of days in the Accrual Period for such Class for such Distribution Date, and the
denominator of which is 30. Such withdrawal and deposit shall be treated as a
contribution of cash by the Master Servicer to REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and
REMIC 4 on the date thereof with REMIC 4 receiving that portion of the
contribution, if any, to the extent that the rate of LIBOR used to calculate the
Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for
such Distribution Date exceeds LIBOR for the first Accrual Period. Immediately
following any such withdrawal and deposit, and immediately following the
conveyance of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trust on any Subsequent
Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Group I Interest Coverage
Account and the Group II Interest Coverage Account and remit to the Master
Servicer or its designee an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount
remaining in such Interest Coverage Account over the amount that would be
required to be withdrawn therefrom (assuming sufficient funds therein) pursuant
to the second preceding sentence on each subsequent Distribution Date, if any,
that will occur during the Funding Period or that will be the Distribution Date
immediately following the end of the Funding Period, if no Subsequent Group I
Mortgage Loans or Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans, as applicable, were
acquired by the Trust Fund after the end of the Prepayment Period relating to
the current Distribution Date (assuming that LIBOR remains constant at the level
of LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate for the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for the current Distribution Date).

                  (d) Upon the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date immediately
following the end of the Funding Period, (ii) the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Guaranteed Certificates to zero or (iii) the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, any amount
remaining on deposit in the Interest Coverage Accounts after distributions
pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted
to the Master Servicer or its designee.

                  SECTION 4.12.     Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  With respect to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine
Certificates and the Class S Certificates and no later than the Closing Date,
the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated
trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered
Certificateholders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002-C, Class
A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class S." On the Closing Date, the Depositor will
deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account $1,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates
and/or the Class S Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(vi), rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all amounts on deposit in the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account or deposited therein pursuant to Section
4.01(d)(vi) for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders, the Mezzanine
Certificateholders and the Class S Certificateholders, and will distribute such
amounts to the Class A Certificateholders, the Mezzanine Certificateholders
and/or the Class S Certificateholders, as applicable, pursuant to Section
4.01(d) to the extent of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for such Class for
such Distribution Date. If no

                                       93

<PAGE>

Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount is payable to any Holders on a Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account on
behalf of the Class CE Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable
to the Class CE Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other
amounts already on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the
aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000. For federal and state
income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders will be deemed to be the
owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited
into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than the initial deposit
therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to the
Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund,
all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
will be released by the Trustee and distributed to the Class CE
Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any
payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates
and the Class S Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be
payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of
Code Section 860G(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.

                  At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to invest the
funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment and (ii) no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or
advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority
in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
invest the funds in the Deutsche Bank Institutional Cash Management Fund 541 so
long as it is a Permitted Investment. Interest earned on such investment shall
be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the
Class S Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Carryover Reserve
Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a
value of zero.

                  SECTION 4.13.     Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Excess
Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in
trust for the registered Certificateholders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities
Inc., Series 2002-C, Class A."

                  On each Distribution Date as to which there is an Excess Group
Net WAC Rate Amount payable on the Class A Certificates or the Class CE
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class A Certificateholders
to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund, the
Excess Group Net WAC Rate Amount, rather than distributing such amounts to the
applicable Class A Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
applicable Class A Certificates or the Class CE Certificates, and shall
distribute such amounts to the Holders of the applicable Class A Certificates
and/or the Class CE Certificates to the extent of the Excess Group Net WAC Rate
Amount.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Excess Net WAC Rate
Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve

                                       94

<PAGE>

Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to the Holders of the
Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in
full of the Class A Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess
Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to
the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Excess Net WAC Rate
Reserve Fund shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and
any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Class CE
Certificates of Excess Group Net WAC Rate Amount will not be payments with
respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class A Certificate, such Certificateholders
hereby agree to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to
deposit into the Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund the amounts described above on
each Distribution Date as to which there is any Excess Pool Net WAC Rate Amount
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class A Certificateholders, as
applicable. By accepting a Class A Certificate, each such Certificateholder
further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

                  Amounts on deposit in the Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund
will remain uninvested.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Class A Certificateholders and the Class CE Certificates to receive payments
from the Excess Net WAC Rate Reserve Fund in respect of any Excess Group Net WAC
Pass-Through Rate Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

                  SECTION 4.14.     Commission Reporting.

                  (a) The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor
in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Trustee
shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for
similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall
sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the Securities and Exchange
Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on
behalf of the Depositor (or such other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to
the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each
such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue
until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written
termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the
Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of
the Trust.

                  (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.19 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit R-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

                  (c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit R-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K). The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by
no later than

                                       95

<PAGE>

March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Certification to the
Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not
a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.14 or the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Depositor, then the Trustee, in connection with a breach of
the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.14 or the Trustee's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and
the Trustee on the other.

                  (d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.

                  (e) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15D
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.

                  (f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.14 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee hereby agrees that it will reasonably cooperate to
amend the provisions of this Section 4.14 in order to comply with such amended
reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 4.14. Any such
amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor
under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely
affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01.     The Certificates.

                  (a) Each of the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class S, Class
CE, Class P and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed, authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor concurrently with
the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. The Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class S Certificates shall be
initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage
Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $50,000 Certificate Principal
Balance (Notional Amount in the case of the Class S Certificates) and integral
dollar multiples of $1.00 Certificate Principal Balance (Notional Amount in the
case of the Class S Certificates) in excess thereof, except that one Certificate
of each such Class may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the
denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the
Certificate Principal Balance (aggregate Notional Amount in the case of the
Class S Certificates) of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class CE
Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates
representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $50,000
Notional Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 Notional Amount in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate of such Class may be in a different
denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding
Certificates of such Class shall equal the aggregate Notional Amount of such
Class on the Closing Date. The Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates
are issuable in any Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all
such percentages for each such Class totals 100%.

                  The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated
by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

                  (b) The Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as
one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to
hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below,
registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates
("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee shall initially act as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is
not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry

                                       97

<PAGE>

Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies
of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry
Custodian.

                  The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through
the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $50,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $50,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.02.     Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
                                    Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate
at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of a Class R Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage
Interest.

                  At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly

                                       98

<PAGE>

authorized in writing. In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate,
the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R
Certificate for four separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's
respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest
and the Class R-3 Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the
Class R Certificate being exchanged.

                  (b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Class CE, Class P or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such disposition
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, except
with respect to the initial transfer of the Class CE, Class P and Class R
Certificates by the Depositor, (i) the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a
written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to
the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a
transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J)
and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Class CE,
Class P or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.

                  Except with respect to the initial transfer of the ERISA
Restricted Certificates by the Depositor, no transfer of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such
transferee in the form of Exhibit Q, unless the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the
satisfaction of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the
purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or
liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund.

                  Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificates or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine
Certificates in reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters'
Exemption, including that the Mezzanine Certificates must be rated, at the time
of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Moody's, Fitch or S&P
or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire
or hold the certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general
account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

                  If any Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next permitted beneficial owner will
be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date
of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner
whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was
effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of
that acquisition or holding.

                  Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory

                                       99

<PAGE>

sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of
each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:

                  (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
         a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
         promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
         status as a Permitted Transferee.

                  (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class
         R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
         interest.

                  (iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any
         Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall as a
         condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in
         form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

                           (A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit I hereto from
                  the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is
                  a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its
                  Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the
                  subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or
                  agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

                           (B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the
                  effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and
                  to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class
                  R Certificates.

                  (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
         Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of
         this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights
         in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in
         violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class
         R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that
         is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration
         of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by
         this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive
         to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate.
         The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
         registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not
         permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such
         Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action
         with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
         long as the Trustee received the documents specified in clause (iii).
         The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R
         Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time
         such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R
         Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall
         be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such
         Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

                  (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
         any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the
         restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but
         not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R
         Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein,
         to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R
         Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may
         include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in
         connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
         remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Class R
         Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event
         that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate
         may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other
         provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding
         amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and
         conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the
         sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person
         having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of
         its exercise of such discretion.

                  (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
         any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the
         restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the
         Internal Revenue

                                       100

<PAGE>

         Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of
         the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section
         860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
         disqualified organizations. The Trustee will be entitled to additional
         compensation from such person for the cost of providing such
         information, but the Trustee shall in all events be required to furnish
         such information.

                  The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply
to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any Trust
REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or have any adverse impact on such
REMIC.

                  (c) No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant
to its standard procedures.

                  SECTION 5.03.     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
                                    Certificates.

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

                  SECTION 5.04.     Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Master Servicer,
the Depositor, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar,
any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trust, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05.     Appointment of Paying Agent.

                  (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to
Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and
shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the
Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide
information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent
hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be
the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which
appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantor.

                  (b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than
the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all
requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of
Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

                  SECTION 6.01.     Liability of the Seller, the Master Servicer
                                    and the Depositor.

                  The Seller and the Master Servicer shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Seller or Master Servicer, as the case may be,
herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent
of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

                  SECTION 6.02.     Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of
                                    the Obligations of, the Seller, the Master
                                    Servicer or the Depositor.

                  Any entity into which the Seller, the Master Servicer or
Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller, the Master Servicer or
the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of
the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the
Seller, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, 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 Master Servicer shall satisfy all the
requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a successor
Master Servicer.

                  SECTION 6.03.     Limitation on Liability of the Master
                                    Servicer and Others; Indemnification.

                  Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors or
officers or employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or
for refraining from the taking of any action by the Master Servicer in good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations
made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer
for a breach of the Servicing Standard or against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith,
fraud or negligence in the performance of its or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its respective obligations and duties hereunder; provided, further,
that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Master Servicer to
indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Master Servicer to retire
any senior lien exceed Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation
expenses) realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The preceding
sentence shall not limit the obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 8.05.

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee,
the Guarantor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee or the Guarantor 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 Depositor, the Master

Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Seller shall be indemnified by the Trust
Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan

duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the
Trustee shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this
Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any
action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund
and the Master Servicer shall

                                       103

<PAGE>

be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account as and to the extent
provided in Section 3.05(a)(viii), any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account. This paragraph shall apply to the Master Servicer solely in its
capacity as Master Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities. Any
indemnification from the Trust Fund, as contemplated above, shall be payable by
the Trust Fund in the manner set forth in Section 3.05(a)(viii).

                  The Master Servicer (except the Trustee if it succeeds the
Master Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Seller, the
Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and each Certificateholder harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and
any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Master Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the
NIMS Insurer and each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in
such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs,
judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Master Servicer shall
assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim.
The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

                  SECTION 6.04.     Master Servicer Not to Resign.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02,
the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and
nature carried on by the Master Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at
the date of this Agreement or (ii) if the Master Servicer has proposed a
successor Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Guarantor in writing and such
proposed successor Master Servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and
the Guarantor (in the case of the Guarantor, as evidenced by a letter to the
Trustee, after consulting with the NIMS Insurer); provided, however, that no
such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until such
successor Master Servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have
assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the
Trustee shall have designated a successor Master Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Master Servicer of
responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as
obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer
pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer.

                  SECTION 6.05.     Delegation of Duties.

                  In the ordinary course of business and only with the approval
of the Guarantor, the Master Servicer may delegate any of its duties hereunder
to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such
duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section
3.01; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer,
but the decision to approve such person shall be in the Guarantor's sole
discretion. Such delegation shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The Master Servicer
shall provide the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor with 60 days prior
written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other
than any of the Master Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and
assigns.

                  SECTION 6.06.     Subservicing Agreements and Successor
                                    Subservicer.

                  (a) The Master Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements
for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution
which is pre-approved by the Guarantor and an approved Freddie

                                       104

<PAGE>

Mac Seller/Master Servicer as indicated in writing, and which represents and
warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to
enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement;
provided, however, that in connection with such subservicing agreement, the
Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer, but the decision to approve such
subservicing agreement shall remain in the Guarantor's sole discretion. For this
purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of a tax service,
or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property. The Master
Servicer shall give prior notice to the Seller, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the
Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor a copy of such subservicing
agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when any subservicer has received
such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be consistent with and not
violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall
provide that a successor Master Servicer shall have the option to terminate such
agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Master Servicer is
terminated or resigns. The Guarantor shall, after consultation with the NIMS
Insurer, have the right to direct the Master Servicer (at the Master Servicer's
expense) to terminate any subservicer that (i) having previously been an
approved Freddie Mac Seller/Master Servicer, no longer has such approval or (ii)
at the Guarantor's reasonable request.

                  (b) The Master Servicer may terminate any subservicing
agreement to which it is a party in accordance with the terms and conditions of
such subservicing agreement and either itself directly service the related
Mortgage Loans or enter into a subservicing agreement with a successor
subservicer that qualifies under Section 6.06(a).

                  SECTION 6.07.     Liability of the Master Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Article
III without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such subservicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.

                  SECTION 6.08.     Inspection.

                  Each of the Seller and the Master Servicer shall afford the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable advance notice,
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Seller and
the Master Servicer, respectively, in respect of its rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer and the Seller
responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer and the
Seller, respectively, shall furnish to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer its
most recent publicly available financial statements and such other information
relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also shall afford the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, upon
reasonable notice, during normal business hours, the right to audit the Master
Servicer's servicing practices.

         undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the
         Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts

                  (xi) An event of default shall occur under an Advance Facility
         consented to by Guarantor and NIMS Insurer pursuant to Section 3.23
         hereunder, loans under which facility are used by the Master Servicer

         under this Agreement, as the term "event of default" is defined
         therein.

                  (b) then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master
Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable
grace period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is
not made by 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following

determine in its sole discretion whether the Master Servicer should be
terminated hereunder. Such review may consist of, but is not limited to: a
process review, interviews with Master Servicer management and staff, file
reviews, and systems adequacy tests. No postponement of the enforcement of the
termination rights that may occur due to such a visit shall be construed as a
waiver of Guarantor's rights nor does it diminish Guarantor's rights to
terminate the Master Servicer at a future date. Any such notice to the Master
Servicer shall also be given to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Seller.
On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer (and by the Trustee if such
notice is given by the Holders or the Guarantor) of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section; and, without
limitation, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage
Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Master Servicer) in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder,
including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of all documents and
records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions
under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the
transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or
the applicable successor Master Servicer) and the Guarantor for the
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been
deposited by the Master Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received
by the Master Servicer; provided however, that the Master Servicer shall
continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this
Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances or otherwise notwithstanding any such
termination, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03
with respect to events occurring prior to such termination. All reasonable costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending
this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer upon presentation of
reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses, and if such predecessor
Master Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs and expenses, such
costs and expenses shall be paid by the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee
(in which case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust). Any
notice to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 may come from the
NIMS

Insurer.

                  SECTION 7.02.     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer (and the
Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Master
Servicer as is acceptable to the Guarantor and approved in accordance with this
Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its
capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as
successor Master Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the
Master Servicer to make Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in
its capacity as successor Master Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack
of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable
efforts. As compensation therefor, immediately upon assumption of the
obligations to make Advances, in its capacity as successor Master Servicer, the
Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer) shall be entitled to such
compensation as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no
such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the
Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee
is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan master servicer
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the
appointment of any such successor Master Servicer shall be approved by the
Guarantor, as evidenced by the Guarantor's prior written consent; provided
further, that in connection with the appointment of such successor Master
Servicer hereunder, the Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer, but the
decision to appoint a successor Master Servicer shall remain in the Guarantor's
sole discretion. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to
Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall
agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Master
Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which
may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer
to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.10 or to
indemnify the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Guarantor, the NIMS
Insurer and each Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.03, nor shall any
successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such
predecessor Master Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such
costs shall be paid by the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee (in which
case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be
entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund). Any
indemnification from the Trust Fund, as contemplated above, shall be payable by
the Trust Fund in the manner set forth in Section 3.05(a)(ix); provided,
however, that the dollar limit set forth in such section shall not be applicable
if the appointment of a successor is made through a court proceeding or if the
predecessor master servicer is subject to any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding and the court having
jurisdiction over such a proceeding has determined that the "automatic stay"
provisions of section 362 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code or similar provisions are
applicable to this Agreement and has not appointed or approved a successor
master servicer or has ordered the Trustee to take action under this Agreement,
which will cause the Trustee to incur expenses, disbursements or advances under
this Agreement.

                  (b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master
Servicer as master servicer shall during the term of its service as master
servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit
of Certificateholders and the Guarantor, and maintain in force a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and

                                       108

<PAGE>

omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.10.

                  (c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse
itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii) or
Section 3.05(a)(iii) if the Master Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for
its Advances and Servicing Advances, but instead the successor Master Servicer
shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made
pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee
is hereby authorized to pay to the terminated Master Servicer (or the related
Advancing Person in accordance with Section 3.23) and the successor Master
Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from
the Distribution Account to the same extent each such Master Servicer would have
been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances
in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii) or Section 3.05(a)(iii), as the case may
be. All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first in-first out"
(FIFO) basis. At such time as the Master Servicer has been reimbursed for all
Advances and Servicing Advances made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall
no longer be required to remit in accordance with the first sentence of this
Section 7.02(c) and shall then be permitted to reimburse itself directly for
Advances and Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii) or
Section 3.05(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 7.03.     Waiver of Defaults.

                  The Guarantor, after consultation with the NIMS Insurer, may
waive any events permitting removal of the Master Servicer as master servicer
pursuant to this Article VII. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default
shall cease to exist and any Master Servicer Event of Termination 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

                  SECTION 7.04.     Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event
which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Master Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of
such occurrence unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Termination
shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given to the Guarantor and
the NIMS Insurer promptly after any such occurrence.

                  SECTION 7.05.     Survivability of Master Servicer
                                    Liabilities.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Master Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Master
Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

                  SECTION 7.06.     Rights of the Guarantor to Exercise Rights
                                    of Class A Certificateholders.

                  By accepting any ownership interest in its Certificate, each
Class A Certificateholder agrees that the Guarantor shall be deemed to be the
Certificateholder for all purposes (other than with respect to payment on the
Certificates) and shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Class A
Certificateholders under this Agreement and under each Class A Certificate
without any further consent of the Class A Certificateholders, including,
without limitation:

                                       109

<PAGE>

                  (a) the right to require the Seller to repurchase Mortgage
         Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;

                  (b) the right to give notices of breach or to terminate the
         rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as master servicer
         pursuant to Section 7.01 and to consent to or direct waivers of Master
         Servicer defaults pursuant to Section 7.03;

                  (c) the right to direct the actions of the Trustee during the
         continuance of a Master Servicer default pursuant to Sections 7.01 and
         7.02;

                  (d) the right to institute proceedings against the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01;

                  (e) the right to direct the Trustee to investigate certain
         matters pursuant to Section 8.02;

                  (f) the right to remove the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07;

                  (g) the right to direct foreclosures upon the failure of the
         Master Servicer to do so in accordance with this Agreement;

                  (h) all Voting Rights; and

                  (i) any rights or remedies expressly given the Majority
         Certificateholders.

                  In addition, each Certificateholder agrees that the rights
specifically enumerated in this Agreement may be exercised by the
Certificateholders only with the prior written consent of the Guarantor.

                  SECTION 7.07.     Trustee to Act Solely with Consent of the
                                    Guarantor.

                  The Trustee shall not, without the Guarantor's consent or
unless directed by the Guarantor: (a) terminate the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer as master servicer pursuant to Section 7.01; or (b) agree to
any amendment pursuant to Article XI; provided, however, that such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Guarantor may, in writing and in its sole
discretion renounce all or any of its rights under Section 7.06 or 7.07 or any
requirement for the Guarantor's consent for any period of time.

                  SECTION 7.08.     Mortgage Loans, Trust Fund and Accounts Held
                                    for Benefit of the Guarantor.

                  The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund and the Mortgage Files
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor and all references
in this Agreement and in the Certificates to the benefit of Holders of the
Certificates shall be deemed to include the Guarantor. The Trustee shall
cooperate in all reasonable respects with any reasonable request by the
Guarantor for action to preserve or enforce the Guarantor's rights or interests
under this Agreement and the Certificates unless, as stated in an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Guarantor, such action is adverse to
the interests of the Certificateholders or diminishes the rights of the
Certificateholders or imposes additional burdens or restrictions on the
Certificateholders.

                  The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it
shall service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
for the benefit of the Guarantor, and all references in this Agreement to the
benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to
include the Guarantor.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01.     Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Termination and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Master
Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge as to which the Trustee
receives written notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or other
instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements
of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof
to the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense of the Seller,
which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required
action, take such further action as directed by the Guarantor.

                  The Trustee's computer and other systems used in performing
its duties and obligations under this Agreement operate in a manner such that
(i) the Trustee can perform such duties and obligations in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Trustee can operate its business in the
same manner as it is operating on the date hereof.

                  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

                  (i) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
         Termination, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of
         Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
         Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
         Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
         of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
         Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
         Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the
         part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
         of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
         therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
         conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

                  (ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error
         of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
         unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
         ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
         to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
         faith in accordance with the direction of the Guarantor or in
         accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Majority
         Certificateholders (with the consent of the Guarantor, so long as no
         Guarantor Default exists) relating to the time, method and place of
         conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
         exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon
         the Trustee, under this Agreement; and

<PAGE>

                  (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
         failure by the Master Servicer to comply with the obligations of the
         Master Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a)
         unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
         Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
         written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer, the Guarantor,
         the Majority Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer.

                  The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute agreements
with the NIMS Insurer or any other insurer in the form presented by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall not be required to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02.     Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution,
         Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties, and the manner of obtaining consents
         evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
         Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
         the Trustee may prescribe;

                  (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
         Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
         respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
         good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

                  (iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders or the Guarantor, pursuant to the provisions of this
         Agreement, unless such Certificateholders and the Guarantor shall have
         offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
         costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
         thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
         enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
         Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
         willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

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

                  (v) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
         Termination and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
         Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
         make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
         resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
         notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
         documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Guarantor, the
         NIMS Insurer or the Majority Certificateholder (with the consent of the
         Guarantor, so long as no Guarantor Default exists and is continuing);
         provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
         Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
         it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
         Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
         to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
         reasonable indemnity against such cost,

                                       112

<PAGE>

         expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable
         expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer
         or the NIMS Insurer (if requested by the NIMS Insurer) or, if paid by
         the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the NIMS
         Insurer (if requested by the NIMS Insurer) upon demand (and if the
         Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, defaults in its
         obligation to pay or reimburse the Trustee any amount as required under
         this clause (v), the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid or reimbursed
         such amount from the assets of the Trust Fund consisting of any amounts
         on deposit at any time in the Collection Account or the Distribution
         Account). Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation
         of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
         disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;

                  (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
         liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
         hereunder of the Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be
         required to act as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and
         thereupon only for the acts and omissions of the Trustee as successor
         Master Servicer;

                  (vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys or a custodian; and

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

                  SECTION 8.03.     Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or
                                    Mortgage Loans.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as
the statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Master Servicer, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer. The Trustee
shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the
legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage, any Assignment or any
Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage (or any interest
therein) or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with
respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the
payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement,
including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any
Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance
thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness
of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Seller or the Master
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to
the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance
therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction
of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that
the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust Fund property that it may
hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Master
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), any subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action
of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any subservicer taken in the name
of the Trustee; the failure of the Master Servicer or any subservicer to act or
perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any
action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Trustee's duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to
Section 2.01. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing
or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or

                                       113

lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
Master Servicer).

                  SECTION 8.04.     Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.

                  SECTION 8.05.     Trustee Fees and Expenses.

                  Prior to disbursing the Available Funds, the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to
itself the Trustee Fee. The Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee, in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by the
Trustee for the recording of Assignments pursuant to Section 2.01) except any
such expense or disbursement as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or
which is the responsibility of Certificateholders or the Trustee hereunder. In
addition, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold it harmless against,
any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its
duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder. This section shall survive termination of this Agreement
or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder. If the Seller defaults
in its obligation to pay or reimburse the Trustee any amount as required under
this Section 8.05, the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid or reimbursed such
amount from the assets of the Trust Fund consisting of any amounts on deposit at
any time in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account. Any
indemnification from the Trust Fund, as contemplated above, shall be payable by
the Trust Fund in the manner set forth in Section 3.05(a)(ix); provided,
however, that the dollar limit set forth in such section shall not be applicable
in connection with any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or
similar proceeding to which the Master Servicer is subject or in connection with
claims made in or through such proceeding and the court having jurisdiction over
such a proceeding has determined that the "automatic stay" provisions of section
362 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code or similar provisions are applicable to this
Agreement and has not appointed or approved a successor master servicer or has
ordered the Trustee to take action under this Agreement, which will cause the
Trustee to incur expenses, disbursements or advances under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.06.     Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a
minimum long-term debt rating of "Baa3" by Moody's, a long-term debt rating of
at least "A-" and a short-term debt rating of at least "A-1" by S&P, if rated by
S&P, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If
such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such
entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the
Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to
which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the
Trust Fund will not incur tax under the laws of such state. In case at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07.     Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer. Upon receiving such notice

                                       114

<PAGE>

of resignation, the Guarantor, upon consultation with the NIMS Insurer, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee (i) shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 or (ii) fails to comply with the
reporting obligations under Section 4.05(a), to the extent set forth in Section
4.05(c), and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Guarantor or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master
Servicer may remove the Trustee. If the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Guarantor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee;
provided, however, that in connection with the appointment of a successor
Trustee under this paragraph, the Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer,
but the decision to appoint a successor Trustee under this paragraph shall
remain in the Guarantor's sole discretion.

                  The Majority Certificateholders may, with the prior written
consent of the Guarantor, at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument
or instruments delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; the Guarantor
shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor trustee in
accordance with this Section; provided, however, that in connection with the
removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this
paragraph, the Guarantor shall consult with the NIMS Insurer, but the decision
to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this
paragraph shall remain in the Guarantor's sole discretion.

                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the
Trustee may not be removed by the Depositor or the Certificateholders without
the prior written consent of the Guarantor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed, the Guarantor or the
NIMS Insurer may terminate any Custodian or Paying Agent; provided, however,
that any such termination of any Custodian or Paying Agent shall not become
effective until a successor Trustee (or a successor Custodian or Paying Agent,
as applicable, on its behalf) shall have assumed in writing the duties of the
terminated Custodian or Paying Agent, as applicable.

                  SECTION 8.08.     Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Master Servicer and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.

                  No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

                                       115

<PAGE>

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as
provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the
appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
will be subject to the prior written consent of the Guarantor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  SECTION 8.09.     Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

                  Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06 and 8.08, 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.

                  SECTION 8.10.     Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate
                                    Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Fund or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be
located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor to act as co-trustee
or co- trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor (so long as no Guarantor
Default exists and is continuing). If the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Guarantor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed hereunder.

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

                  (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
         imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
         exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
         co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
         co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
         joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
         jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
         (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer
         hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
         such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
         obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
         portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
         performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
         the direction of the Trustee;

                  (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
         reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

                  (iii) the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of
         the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, acting jointly may at any time
         accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee
         except that

                                       116

<PAGE>

         following the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, the
         Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate
         trustee or co-trustee.

                  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Master Servicer.

                  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.11.     Limitation of Liability.

                  The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its
individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the
undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates
is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee
but is made and intended as an undertaking or agreement by the Trustee as a
fiduciary of the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 8.12.     Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
                                    Possession of Certificates.

                  (a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or
the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

                  (b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and each Certificateholder upon
reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained
by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the
Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall
furnish the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and
any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and such Certificateholder and shall
make available to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Guarantor,
the NIMS Insurer and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books,
documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee's duties
hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the
Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action
or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 8.13.     Suits for Enforcement.

                  In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination or other
default by the Master Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Guarantor, or may, with
the consent of the Guarantor, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Certificateholders, the Guarantor or the

                                       117

<PAGE>

NIMS Insurer under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or
at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power
granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable
or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the
foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of
the Trustee, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 8.14.     Waiver of Bond Requirement.

                  The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder
hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any
part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with
any court, agency or body whatsoever.

                  SECTION 8.15.     Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and
                                    Appraisal Requirement.

                  The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder
hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust Fund, or
any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting
or appraisal of the Trust Fund with any court, agency or body at any time or in
any manner whatsoever.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              REMIC ADMINISTRATION

                  SECTION 9.01.     REMIC Administration.

                  (a) A REMIC election shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066
or other appropriate federal or state tax or information return with respect to
each Trust REMIC for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Certificates are issued. The Regular Interests and Residual
Interest in each Trust REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary
Statement.

                  (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall pay any and all tax related
expenses (not including taxes) of each Trust REMIC, including but not limited to
any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such Trust REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer in fulfilling its duties
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to
the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Collection Account.

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, and the Trustee shall sign and
file, all of each Trust REMIC's federal and state tax and information returns as
such Trust REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

                  (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding
the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as
defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with respect to each
Trust REMIC and shall act as Tax Matters Person for such REMICs. The Trustee, as
agent for the applicable Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each
Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the applicable Tax
Matters Person, shall provide (at the Trustee's own expense without right of
reimbursement, in consideration of the compensation paid to the Trustee
hereunder, including any additional compensation accepted by the Trustee
pursuant Section 5.02(b)(vi) under the circumstances set forth in such subclause
(vi)) (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a related
Class R Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
REMIC Provisions. The Trustee shall represent each Trust REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item
of any Trust REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any Trust REMIC in relation to
any tax matter involving the Trust, provided that to the extent that such
representation affects the Guarantor's obligations hereunder, the Trustee agrees
to consult with the Guarantor and accommodate the Guarantor's reasonable
requests.

                  (f) The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Holders of
Certificates shall take any action or cause each Trust REMIC to take any action
necessary to create or maintain the status of such Trust REMIC as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of
any Class R Certificate shall take any action, cause any Trust REMIC to take any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger
the status of such Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a
tax upon such Trust REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Code Section

                                       119

<PAGE>

860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d)
of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee,
the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion
of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the
effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in
the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to a Trust REMIC or the assets therein, or causing a Trust REMIC to take
any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
any Holder of a related Class R Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the
Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer, or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such Trust REMIC, and no such
Person shall take any such action or cause a Trust REMIC to take any such action
as to which the Trustee, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

                  (g) Each Holder of a Class R Certificate shall pay when due
any and all taxes imposed on the related Trust REMICs by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by a
Class R Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out
of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class
R Certificate relating to the taxed Trust REMIC or, if no such amounts are
available, out of other amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce
amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the taxed Trust
REMIC, as the case may be. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a Trust
REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result of a
determination that such Trust REMIC is domiciled in the State of California for
state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, the Master Servicer (if such tax was incurred by virtue of the location
of the Master Servicer) and the Trustee (if such tax was incurred by virtue of
the location of the Trustee) agree to pay on behalf of such Trust REMIC when
due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a
determination, in the event that the Holder of the related Class R Certificate
fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.

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

                  (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to a
Trust REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to
eligible substitute mortgage loans and Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

                  (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter

                  (a) In the event that any Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a

Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Master Servicer of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the

any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R
Certificate on which the Master Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be
deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class
R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer have any liability (1)
for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance
with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this

by the Master Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3)
for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to

Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 10.01.        Termination.

                  (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Seller, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain
payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the
obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the later of (A) the
payment in full of all amounts owing to the Guarantor unless the Guarantor shall
otherwise consent and (B) the earliest of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (ii) the optional purchase
by the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer of the Mortgage Loans as described
below and (iii) the Distribution Date in July 2032. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date hereof.

                  The Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such option, the NIMS Insurer) may, at its option, terminate REMIC 1 on
or after the Optional Termination Date by purchasing, on or after the Optional
Termination Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a
price equal to the Termination Price.

                  With respect to REMIC 1, the "Termination Price" means the
fair market value (as determined by the Master Servicer, the Guarantor, the NIMS
Insurer, the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates and, to the extent
that a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it
as a result of the termination, in consultation with the Trustee, as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such Termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 10.01(b)) of the outstanding Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in REMIC 1 (after giving effect to scheduled
payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received
or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the
related Prepayment Period), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (after giving effect to
scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent
received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during
the related Prepayment Period) at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates
thereon as of the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date
plus Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amounts, any related Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount, unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances and any unpaid Servicing
Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties; provided, however,
such option may only be exercised if (i) the Termination Price is sufficient to
pay any amount owed the Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of the
Guaranteed Certificates and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties described above is at least equal to the Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties.

                  In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable (in the
capacity as purchaser of assets from REMIC 1, the "Terminator"), shall deposit
in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection
Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.05(b)), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.

                  Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Business Day before such Distribution Date of the
Termination Price and the delivery of an opinion of counsel in form and
substance acceptable to the Guarantor that such termination is a "Qualified
Liquidation", under Section 860F of the Code, of REMIC 1 and of each other Trust
REMIC. The Terminator shall indemnify the Guarantor for any claims under this
Agreement due to the Terminator's exercise of such option. In addition, the
Terminator shall reimburse the Trustee for the Trustee's out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Terminator's exercise

                                       122

<PAGE>

of such option.

                  (b) Notice of the termination of the Trust REMICs, specifying
the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a
Distribution Date) upon which the terminated Certificateholders may surrender
their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving
notice of such date from the Terminator, by letter to the Guarantor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution
of the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (2) the
amount of any such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

                  (c) Upon presentation and surrender of the terminated
Certificates in connection with any termination under this Section 10.01, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of such Certificates on the
Distribution Date for the final distribution thereon, in proportion to the
Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are
available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be
distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01
for such Distribution Date. With respect to the terminated Certificates, on the
final Distribution Date therefor, the Trustee will withdraw from the
Distribution Account and remit to the Guarantor the lesser of (x) the amount
available for distribution on such final Distribution Date, net of any portion
thereof necessary to pay Holders of the Guaranteed Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01 and any amounts owing to the Trustee in respect of the Trustee Fee
(or any other amount payable or reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 7.02 and Section 8.05) and due
and unpaid Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, (y) the unpaid
amounts due and owing to the Guarantor relating to the Guaranteed Certificates
pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05. By acceptance of the Class R Certificates,
the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree, in connection with any
termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of the par
value of the Mortgage Loans, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates.

                  (d) In the event that all Certificateholders of terminated
Certificates shall not surrender their terminated Certificates for final payment
and cancellation on or before the final Distribution Date therefor, the Trustee
shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account
not distributed in final distribution to terminated Certificateholders to be
withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining terminated Certificateholders
by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the
remaining such Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
nine months after the second notice all the terminated Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto,
and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the
Class R Certificateholders for payment.

                  SECTION 10.02.        Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator exercises its purchase
option as provided in Section 10.01, REMIC 1 and each other Trust REMIC (such
REMICs as are terminated in connection with a termination by the Terminator
being referred to in this Section 10.02 as the "Terminated REMICs"), shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Trustee and the Guarantor shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on the Trust Fund (or any Trust
REMIC), including a tax on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund (or any
Trust REMIC) as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:

                  (i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the
         Terminator shall prepare and the

                                       123

<PAGE>

         Trustee shall adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation of each
         Terminated REMIC meeting the requirements of a "Qualified Liquidation"
         under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;

                  (ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
         complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
         the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Terminated REMICs to
         the Terminator for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan of complete
         liquidation; and

                  (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
         Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
         distributed or credited (A) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates,
         the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class CE Certificates and the Class P
         Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus (in the
         case of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates) one
         month's interest thereon at the Pass-Through Rate therefor, any
         previously accrued but undistributed interest at the Pass-Through Rate
         and any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, (B) to the Holders of the Class
         S Certificates and the Class CE Certificates one month's interest on
         the Notional Amount thereof at the Pass-Through Rate therefor, any
         previously accrued but undistributed interest at the Pass-Through Rate
         and any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount and (C) to the Guarantor, all
         amounts owing to the Guarantor under this Agreement, and the Terminated
         REMICs shall terminate at such time.

                  (b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such
a plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the
Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate or upon the
written request of the Guarantor and (ii) to take such other action in
connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plan of
complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01.        Amendment.

above shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, as evidenced by (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies
that such amendment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
of any outstanding Class of Certificates (without regard to the Guarantee of the
Guarantor). Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor confirmation from the Rating
Agencies will be required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of
Section 4.14. If confirmation from the Rating Agencies is obtained with respect
to any amendment, such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. No amendment shall be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel
shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such
consenting Certificateholder.

shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
on the Certificates or distributions or payments under this Agreement which are
required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
clause (x) above ( as evidenced by (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies
that such amendment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
of any outstanding Class of Certificates (without regard to the Guarantee of the
Guarantor), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the
percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

                  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement
unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at
the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, and satisfactory to the
Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such amendment will not
result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in
accordance with the terms hereof.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee

the Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment
and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to
the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by

Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe.

                  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon
direction of Certificateholders or the Guarantor accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be

                                        Certificateholders.

                  The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i)
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.

                  Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

                  SECTION 11.04.        Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

                  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws

irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such claim, suit, action
or proceeding brought in any such court, that such court does not have

                  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then
such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from
the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of

                  SECTION 11.07.        Article and Section References.

                  Except to the extent set forth in Section 11.12 hereof,
nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the
parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 11.11.        Acts of Certificateholders.

                  (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by the Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing, and such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the
Seller and the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"act" of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the

by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority.

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

defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound. In the event of a conflict between this Certificate and the
Agreement, the Agreement controls.

         The Pass-Through Rate for this Certificate and any Distribution Date is
the lesser of (x) 2.57% per annum and (y) the Pool Net WAC Rate for such
Distribution Date.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an
authorized officer of the Trustee.

duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

time, with the consent of the Guarantor and the NIMS Insurer, if any (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), by the Depositor, the Originator,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such
amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates, but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as

hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. In the event of a conflict

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. In the event of a transfer of this Certificate, there shall be
delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor (i) an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee or the Depositor; or
(ii) a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall
be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates, but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

         recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
         of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to
         be a true and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;

                  (c) an original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable

         Series 2002-C, without recourse";

                  (d) an original copy of any intervening Assignment showing a

         recording;

                  (e) the original or a certified copy of lender's title
         insurance policy; and

                  (f) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
         written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.

                  The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee
that it has caused the appropriate entries to be made in its general accounting
records, to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the
Trustee and constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.02(b), (c) or
(d) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x)
has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such

deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no
later than the Closing Date of a copy of each such document certified by the
Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the
case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was
submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller,
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the

to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, the original or a copy of a
written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by
the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy
thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt

<PAGE>

be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any
other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to
any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement among the
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Guarantor, following the later
of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the original
Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date on which the Seller receives
the related Mortgage recordation information from the applicable recorder's
office) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the
Purchaser, in the appropriate office for real property records, each Assignment
referred to in Sections 2.02(c) and (d) above and shall execute each original
Assignment referred to in section 2.02(c) above in the following form: "Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for registered Holders of Ameriquest
Mortgage Securities Inc., Series 2002-C, without recourse." In the event that
any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein,
the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute
Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments of the Mortgages shall not be required to be completed and submitted
for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan only if the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and each Rating Agency has received an Opinion of
Counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and
the Guarantor on or before the Closing Date, to the effect that the recordation
of such Assignment is not necessary to protect the Purchaser's interest in the
related Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, notwithstanding the delivery
of any Opinion of Counsel, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by
the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Purchaser, upon
the earliest to occur of: (i) direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer
as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if
the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment,
the occurrence of a bankruptcy of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage or a
foreclosure of the related Mortgage.

                  In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of
the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date and in no event later than
45 days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be completed such
endorsements "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee for registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Series
2002-C, without recourse."

                  Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the
Seller shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document
to the Purchaser. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such
missing document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

                  (c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Seller, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under the
         Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consummation of any of the
         transactions herein contemplated, and its performance of and compliance

         breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the
         terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller
         is a party or by which it may be bound or which may be applicable to
         its assets, or any statute, order or regulation applicable to the
         Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
         governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets;
         and the Seller is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or violation
         of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in
         violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory
         body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
         over it or its assets, which materially and adversely affects or would

         Seller taken as a whole;

         governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
         execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement, except for such consents, licenses, approvals or
         authorizations, or registrations or declarations as shall have been
         obtained or filed, as the case may be, prior to the Closing Date.

                  (e) The Seller is an approved Seller/Servicer for Fannie Mae

         of the National Housing Act. No event has occurred, including but not
         limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make the Seller

         require notification to HUD;

                  (f) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Information Circular
         and the Prospectus Supplement, no litigation is pending against the
         Seller that would materially and adversely affect the execution,

         other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;

                  (g) The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason
         or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
         contained in this Agreement;

                  (h) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller. The
         sale of the Mortgage Loans was in the ordinary course of business of
         the Seller and the assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and
         the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or any
         similar statutory provisions;

                  (i) The information delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser
         with respect to the Seller's loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency
         experience on mortgage loans underwritten to similar standards as the
         Mortgage Loans and covering mortgaged properties similar to the
         Mortgaged Properties, is true and correct in all material respects as
         of the date of such report;

                  (j) This Agreement does not contain any untrue statement of
         material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
         statements contained herein not misleading. The written statements,
         reports and other documents prepared and furnished or to be prepared
         and furnished by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in connection
         with the transactions contemplated hereby taken in the aggregate do not
         contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a
         material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
         misleading;

                  (k) The Seller has not transferred the Mortgage Loans with any
         intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors;

                  (l) Immediately prior to the payment of the Purchase Price for
         each Mortgage Loan, the Seller was the owner of the related Mortgage
         and the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note and upon
         the payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, in the event that
         the Seller retains record title, the Seller shall retain such record
         title to each Mortgage, each related Mortgage Note and the related
         Mortgage Files with respect thereto in trust for the Purchaser as the
         owner thereof;

                  (m) The Seller acquired title to the Mortgage Loans in good
         faith, and except with respect to liens released immediately prior to
         the transfer herein contemplated, each Mortgage Note and related
         Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged and immediately prior to the
         transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller held good,
         marketable

                                        7

<PAGE>

         and indefeasible title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, each
         Mortgage Loan subject to no liens, charges, mortgages, claims,
         participation interests, equities, pledges or security interests of any
         nature, encumbrances or rights of others (collectively, a "Lien"); the
         Seller has full right and authority under all governmental and
         regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the Seller, subject to no
         interest or participation of, or agreement with, any party, to sell and
         assign the same pursuant to this Agreement; and immediately upon the
         transfers and assignments herein contemplated, the Seller shall have
         transferred all of its right, title and interest in and to each
         Mortgage Loan and the Trustee will hold good, marketable and
         indefeasible title to, and be the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan
         subject to no Liens;

                  (n) The Seller is not insolvent, nor is the Seller aware of
         any pending insolvency and the Seller will not be made insolvent by the
         transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, nor is the Seller
         aware of any pending insolvency of the Depositor; and

                  (o) The Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and
         delivery of this Agreement by it and its performance and compliance
         with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with
         respect to any order or decree of any court, or any order or regulation
         of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having
         jurisdiction, which violation would materially and adversely affect the
         Seller's condition (financial or otherwise) or operations or any of the
         Seller's properties, or materially and adversely affect the performance
         of any of its duties hereunder.

                  Section 3.03 REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Subsections 3.01 and 3.02 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 or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With
respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to
the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller or as to which the Seller has
no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser
or the Purchaser's assignee, designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the
Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation
and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
made, the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of
this Section 3.03 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the
Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties that materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans
or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the
interests of 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 others.

                  Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller
that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the
Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, 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

                                        8

<PAGE>

Purchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or
warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and such breach cannot be cured within 90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such
breach, all of the Mortgage Loans affected by such breach shall, at the
Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Purchase Price. The
Seller may, assuming the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather
than repurchase a deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such
Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans. If the Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall
occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit
in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner
consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  At the time of substitution or repurchase of any deficient
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment
of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser relating to the deficient
or repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in
the Collection Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such
repurchase, the 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 or its designee for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment and such other documents and agreements as are required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required
therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Collection 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. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage 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 Sections 3.01 and 3.02.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.01 shall survive delivery of the respective
Mortgage Files to the Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser.

                  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller
set forth in Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in Section 5.01
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective
document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.01 or 3.02.

                               SELLER'S COVENANTS

                  Section 4.01 COVENANTS OF THE SELLER. The Seller hereby
covenants that except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller will not sell,
pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the
Seller will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence
of any Lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof, and the
Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Trust, as assignee of
the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against all claims of third
parties claiming through or under the Seller; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in
this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller from
suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal or
other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental
charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall
currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto.

                                   ARTICLE V.

               INDEMNIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  Section 5.01      INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and to hold each of the
Purchaser, the Trustee, each of the officers and directors of each such entity
and each person or entity who controls each such entity or person and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all third party claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such
person or entity and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way (i) related to
the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of
this Agreement, (ii) arising from a breach by the Seller of its representations
and warranties in Section 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement or (iii) related to the
origination or prior servicing of the Mortgage Loans by reason of any acts,
omissions, or alleged acts or omissions of the Seller or any servicer. The
Seller shall immediately notify the Purchaser, the Trustee and each
Certificateholder if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this
Agreement. The Seller shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Guarantor, the NIMs Insurer or any such
person or entity and/or any Certificateholder in respect of such claim.

                  (b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Article V of notice of any claim or the commencement of any third party action,
such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under this Article V, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have under this Article V except to the extent
it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and,

                                       10

<PAGE>

provided further, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Article V.

                  If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Article V for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

                  Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which
firm shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser, if the indemnified parties
under this Article V consist of the Purchaser or by the Seller, if the
indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the Seller.

                  Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreements, shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party
in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with
its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any
such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to consent to a
settlement of any action, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and the indemnifying party has not
previously provided the indemnified party with written notice of its objection
to such settlement. No indemnifying party shall effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which an indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity is or could have been sought hereunder,
without the written consent of such indemnified party, unless settlement
includes an

                                       11

<PAGE>

unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability and claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

                                   TERMINATION

Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  Section 7.01 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser, by written agreement signed by the
Seller and the Purchaser.

                  Section 7.02 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

                  Section 7.03 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed

Country Road, Suite 1100, Orange, California 92868, Attention: General Counsel,
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing
by the Seller; and (ii) if to the Purchaser: Ameriquest Mortgage Securities
Inc., 1100 Town & Country Road, Suite 1100, Orange, California 92868, Attention:
General Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the
Seller in writing by the Purchaser.

                  Section 7.04 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of
the covenants, agreements, provisions of terms of this Agreement shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

                  Section 7.05 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original
and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  Section 7.06 FURTHER AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser and the Seller
each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents,
instruments or agreements as may be

                                       12

<PAGE>

necessary or reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement or in connection with the issuance of any Series of Certificates
representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further
inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the
Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of any of
the securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans. In that connection,
the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate
verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel
or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide to the
Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of
counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers
of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with such transactions
and the offering of investment grade securities rated by the Rating Agencies.

                  Section 7.07 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. It is the intention of
the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans rather than pledging the Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the
Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for federal income tax purposes and all other purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related
Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will
affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the
Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the
course of such review.

                  Section 7.08 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE
AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the
NIMs Insurer. The Guarantor and the NIMs Insurer shall be third party
beneficiaries hereof and may enforce the terms hereof as if a party hereto. The
obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated
by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which
consent shall be at the Purchaser's sole discretion, except that the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to
any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that
the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing
them to a trust that will issue a Series of Certificates representing undivided
interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase
the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by
the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser's rights against the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans
transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or
remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such
enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and
effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser
directly.

                  Section 7.09 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall
survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER REGARDING THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the
Closing Date unless specifically stated otherwise in such representation and
warranty, as follows:

                  (i) No misrepresentation of a material fact or fraud in
         respect of the origination, modification or amendment of any Mortgage
         Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including, without
         limitation, the related mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or
         developer or any party involved in the origination of such Mortgage
         Loan;

                  (ii) As of the last calendar day of September 2002 and with
         respect to any Initial Mortgage Loan that had a payment due on or
         before September 1, 2002, the Monthly Payment due on September 1, 2002
         has been received. In addition, (a) none of the Initial Mortgage Loans
         have been 30 or more days delinquent more than once in the last 12
         months and (b) none of the Initial Mortgage Loans have been 30 or more
         days delinquent for two payment periods since the date of origination;

                  (iii) Each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date, is an
         adjustable rate or fixed rate Mortgage Loan having an original term to
         maturity from the date on which the first monthly payment is due of not
         more than 30 years. Each Mortgage Note with respect to the Mortgage
         Loans will provide for a schedule of substantially level and equal
         Monthly Payments which are sufficient to amortize fully the principal
         balance of such Mortgage Loan over a period of time equal to the
         amortization period of such Mortgage Note. None of the Mortgage Loans
         are second lien Mortgage Loans;

                  (iv) No more than 54.80% of the Initial Group I Mortgage Loans
         and 52.24% of the Initial Group II Mortgage Loans, by aggregate Cut-off
         Date Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans in the related
         Loan Group, had Loan-to-Value Ratios at origination exceeding 80%. All
         Initial Mortgage Loans had Loan-to-Value Ratios at origination of less
         than or equal to 95%;

                  (v) Each Mortgage Loan was originated substantially in
         accordance with the Seller's underwriting criteria, which are at least
         as stringent as the underwriting criteria set forth in the Information
         Circular and the Prospectus Supplement. Each Mortgage Loan is currently
         being serviced by the Seller and has been serviced by the Seller since
         the date of origination or purchase of such Mortgage Loan;

                  (vi) No Mortgage Loan is the subject of foreclosure
         proceedings and no obligor of any of the Mortgage Loans has filed for
         bankruptcy protection;

                  (vii) As of the Cut-off Date, no more than 0.51% of the
         Initial Group I Mortgage Loans and 0.40% of the Initial Group II
         Mortgage Loans, by aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the
         Initial Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group, are secured by
         manufactured housing and none of the Initial Mortgage Loans are secured
         by mobile homes;

<PAGE>

                  (viii) Each Mortgage transferred to the Trustee is a valid
         first lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
         current real property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions
         and restriction, rights of way, easements and other matters of public
         record as of the date of recording of such mortgage, such exceptions
         appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
         generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection
         with the origination of the related mortgage loan 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
         such Mortgage;

                  (ix) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any
         Mortgaged Property;

                  (x) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or
         material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien
         prior to, or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage except those which
         are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in the
         Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

                  (xi) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all
         material respects with applicable state and federal laws, including,
         without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate
         settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including,
         without limitation, the receipt of interest, will not involve the
         violation of any such laws;

                  (xii) None of the Mortgage Loans are cooperative share
         Mortgages;

                  (xiii) If the improvements securing a Mortgage Loan were in a
         federally designated special flood hazard area as of the date of
         origination, flood insurance in the amount described in the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement (and to the extent required by the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement) covers the related Mortgaged Property (either by
         coverage under the federal flood insurance program or by coverage by
         private insurers);

                  (xiv) A lender's policy of title insurance or a commitment
         (binder) to issue the same or an attorney's certificate or opinion of
         title was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
         Loan and each such policy or certificate or opinion of title is valid
         and remains in full force and effect;

                  (xv) [Reserved];

                  (xvi) Each appraisal of a Mortgage Loan that was used to
         determine the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property was
         conducted generally in accordance with the Seller's Underwriting
         Guidelines as described in the Information Circular and the Prospectus
         Supplement and included an assessment of the fair market value of the
         related Mortgaged Property at the time of the appraisal. The Mortgage
         File contains an appraisal of the applicable Mortgaged Property;

                                       18

<PAGE>

                  (xvii) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
         with respect to each Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material
         respects as of the Cut-off Date, unless another date is set forth in
         the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (xviii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage
         under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations
         Section 1.860G-2(a)(1) and (3);

                  (xix) Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note is the legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the related Mortgagor and is enforceable by the
         Trustee or any co-trustee appointed hereunder against the Mortgagor in
         accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be
         limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
         similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
         and by law, and all parties to each Mortgage Loan and the Mortgagor had
         full legal capacity to execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to
         convey the estate therein purported to be conveyed; and the Mortgage
         and each Mortgage Note have been duly and validly executed by such
         parties;

                  (xx) All individual insurance policies contain a standard
         mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns, as
         mortgagee. All premiums thereon previously coming due have been paid.
         Each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
         insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's
         failure to do so, subject to the restrictions of applicable law,
         authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
         insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
         therefor from the Mortgagor;

                  (xxi) Any advances made after the date of origination of a
         Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
         the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage, and
         the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
         rate and single repayment term reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
         The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
         principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan;

                  (xxii) There are no material defaults in complying with the
         terms of the Mortgage, and either (1) any taxes and insurance premiums
         which previously became due and owing have been paid or (2) an escrow
         of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every
         such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not
         yet due and payable. Except for payments in the nature of Escrow
         Payments, including without limitation, taxes and insurance payments,
         the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
         received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor,
         directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the
         Mortgage Note, except for interest accruing from the date of the
         Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds,
         whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due
         Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

                  (xxiii) No improvement located on or being part of any
         Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
         regulation. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be
         made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of each Mortgaged

                                       19

<PAGE>

         Property and, with respect to the occupancy of the same, including but
         not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting
         certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
         authorities and such Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under the
         applicable law;

                  (xxiv) Excluding any Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow
         withhold, the proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed
         and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to make future
         advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of
         any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursement of any
         escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and
         expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loans
         were paid and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of amounts
         paid or due under the Mortgage Note;

                  (xxv) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any
         other party to make payments in addition to those made by the
         Mortgagor;

                  (xxvi) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or
         other contingent interest feature;

                  (xxvii) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
         provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
         adequate for the realization against the related Mortgaged Property of
         the benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
         designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (ii) otherwise by
         judicial or non-judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other
         exemption available to the related Mortgagor which would materially
         interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
         sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to the applicable
         federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to
         bankruptcy and rights of redemption. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
         Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
         Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
         Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the
         property;

                  (xxviii) The Seller has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to
         the Depositor with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its
         creditors;

         Loans, whether as originator, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
         otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed
         of such interest, were): (A) organized under the laws of such state, or
         (B) qualified to do business in such state, or (C) federal savings and
         loan associations or national banks, or (D) not doing business in such
         state so as to require qualification or licensing, or (E) not otherwise
         required to be licensed in such state. All parties which have had any
         interest in the Mortgage Loans were in compliance with any and all
         applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
         Mortgaged Property is located or were not required to be licensed in
         such state;

                  (xxx) Each document or instrument in the related Mortgage
         Files is in a form generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders
         that regularly originate or purchase

                                       20

         to four-) family residential dwelling, including, without limitation,

         manufactured home constituting any portion of any Mortgaged Property
         constitutes real property under applicable state law; and each
         manufactured home constituting any portion of any Mortgaged Property is
         a "single-family residence" as defined in Section 25(e)(10) of the
         Code;

         related Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged and immediately
         prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller
         held good, marketable and indefeasible title to, and was the sole owner
         and holder of, each Mortgage Loan subject to no liens, charges,
         mortgages, claims, participation interests, equities, pledges or
         security interests of any nature, encumbrances or rights of others
         (collectively, a "Lien"); the Seller has full right and authority under
         all governmental and regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the
         Seller, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with,
         any party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement; and
         immediately upon the transfers and assignments herein contemplated, the
         Seller shall have transferred all of its right, title and interest in
         and to each Mortgage Loan and the Trustee will hold good, marketable
         and indefeasible title to, and be the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan
         subject to no Liens;

                  (xxxiii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to any valid right of
         rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
         usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of any Mortgage Note
         or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
         Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable in whole or in part, or
         subject to any valid 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;

                  (xxxiv) The improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are
         covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a
         generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended
         coverage representing coverage described in the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement;

                  (xxxv) The terms of each Mortgage Note and related Mortgage
         have not been impaired, altered or modified in any material respect,
         except by a written instrument which has been recorded or is in the
         process of being recorded, if necessary, to protect the interests of
         the Certificateholders and which has been or will be delivered to the
         Custodian on behalf of the Trustee;

                  (xxxvi) Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent
         Assignments (other than the Assignment to the Trustee) have been
         recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is
         necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the

                                       21

<PAGE>

         Seller, or is in the process of being recorded or upon receipt of the
         related Mortgage recordation information and return of the original
         intervening Assignment will be submitted for recording;

                  (xxxvii) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the
         total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a
         proceeding currently occurring, and such property is undamaged by
         waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or
         other casualty, so as to affect materially and adversely the value of
         the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for
         which the premises were intended;

                  (xxxviii) No Mortgage Loan was originated under a buydown
         plan;

                  (xxxix) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the requirements of the

         Mortgage Loan is in violation of any state law or ordinance similar to
         HOEPA;

                  (xl) The Seller has fully furnished, in accordance with the
         Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
         and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its
         borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories on a monthly
         basis;

                  (xli) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase
         single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of,
         or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

                  (xlii) No Mortgage Loan originated before October 1, 2002 has
         a Prepayment Charge term longer than five years after its origination
         and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 has a
         Prepayment Charge term longer than three years after its origination;

                  (xliii) Except for Mortgage Loans that are delinquent for a
         time period less than that set forth in (ii) above, there is no
         default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any
         Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
         passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
         period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
         acceleration; and neither the Seller, nor any other entity involved in
         originating or servicing a Mortgage Loan, has waived any default,
         breach, violation or event of acceleration;

                  (xliv) Each Mortgage Loan conforms, and all Mortgage Loans in
         the aggregate conform, in all material respects, to the description
         thereof set forth in the Information Circular and the Prospectus
         Supplement;

                  (xlv) Each Initial Mortgage Loan was originated on or after

         less of area median income).

                  (xlvii) Subject to the restrictions of applicable law, each
         Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment of

         does not contain Mortgage Loans relating to a single Mortgaged Property
         if the aggregate original Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans

Workouts in the form of either a Forbearance or Loan Modification require that
the Borrower document the existence of a financial hardship leading to the
payment delinquency and document the ability to make the payments required under
the proposed Forbearance or Loan Modification. If the Borrower fails to meet
both of these conditions or the Borrower is uncooperative, a Disposal Loss
Mitigation Action will be employed to liquidate the delinquent loan, assuming
the Borrower does not otherwise cure the existing default. Each of the Default
Mitigation Actions and Supporting Standards may not be applicable to each and
every loan subject to a default in its monthly payments and in those cases where
a Default Mitigation Action or Supporting Standard may be applicable, each is
subject to amendment and/or waiver on an individual basis pursuant to applicable
federal, state and local laws, decisional authorities, court orders,
instructions of regulatory and/or other governmental authorities, the advice of
legal counsel, instructions from the Trustee and changes in the loan servicing
standards.

COUNTY OF                  )

         The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

         1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), relating to the
above-referenced Certificates, among Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., as
Depositor, Ameriquest Mortgage Company, as Originator and Master Servicer (the
"Originator" and "Master Servicer"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, as
Guarantor and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee").
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to
make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

         2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

         3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.

         4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will
be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass- through entity" includes a regulated investment

                                       I-1

<PAGE>

company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in
Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a
nominee for another Person.)

         5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the
Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

         6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

         7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate. If the Certificate is a "noneconomic residual interest," Transferee
understands that, as the holder of the noneconomic residual, the Transferee may
incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and
that the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual
interest as they become due.

         8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.

         9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).

         10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

         11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code; nor is it acting on
behalf of such a plan.
