         Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Custodian, any Subservicer, the Insurer, any Owner or the Indenture (each, for
purposes of this paragraph, a party) of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Owners or of the Insurer, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. As promptly
as practicable, but in any event, within 60 days of its discovery or its receipt

         Section 2.05. COVENANTS OF SELLER TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS WITH RESPECT

         (a)   Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Insurer, any Subservicer, any Owner, the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee
that the representations and warranties set forth in clause (b) below were
untrue in any material respect, without regard to any limitation set forth
therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein as
of the Startup Day (or in the case of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage, as of
the respective replacement date) with the result that the interests of the
Owners or of the Insurer in the related Home Equity Loan are, or may be,
materially and adversely affected, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties. Upon the earliest to occur of the

                                       -45-
<PAGE>

Seller's discovery, its receipt of notice of breach from any one of the other
parties or such time as a situation resulting from an existing statement which
is untrue materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the
Insurer, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the
knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein, the Seller hereby
covenants and warrants that it shall promptly cure such breach in all material
respects or subject to the last three sentences of Section 2.04 it shall on or
before the second Monthly Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery,
receipt of notice or such time (i) substitute in lieu of each Home Equity Loan
which has given rise to the requirement for action by the Seller a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity
Loan from the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price
thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in

establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it is diligently
pursuing remedial action, the period of time in which the Seller must substitute
a Qualified Replacement Mortgage or purchase such Home Equity Loan may be
extended with the written approval of the Insurer. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Seller so to substitute or purchase any Home Equity
Loan as to which such a statement set forth below is untrue in any material
respect and has not been remedied shall constitute the sole remedy respecting a
discovery of any such statement which is untrue in any material respect in this
Section 2.05 available to the Owners and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Owners.

         (b)   The Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Insurer and the Owners that

         Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on the Startup Day or as
         otherwise provided in Section 2.06. To the Seller's best knowledge, no
         documentation contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
         to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
         misleading.

         end of the 15th year and no Home Equity Loan is a graduated payment
         loan;

                  (ix) As of the Startup Day, each Mortgage is a valid and
         enforceable first or second lien of record (or is in the process of

         cases to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance
         policy or attorney's opinion of title, with respect to the related Home
         Equity Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to banking
         institutions in connection with their regular mortgage lending
         activities, and such other exceptions to which similar properties are
         commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate,

         to be provided by such Mortgage;

         the related Mortgage except those which are insured against by any
         title insurance policy referred to in paragraph (xvi) below;

                  (xv) Each Home Equity Loan at the time it was made complied in
         all material respects with applicable state and federal laws and
         regulations, including, without limitation, the federal

                  (xix) Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note are the legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the maker thereof and are enforceable in
         accordance with their terms, except only as such enforcement may be
         limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other

         Schedule of Home Equity Loans. The consolidated principal amount does

         designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by
         judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption other
         than any applicable Mortgagor redemption rights available to the

         the related Mortgage;

         acceleration existing under any Mortgage or the related Note and no

         properly licensed or otherwise authorized, to the extent required by
         applicable law, to originate or purchase each Home Equity Loan; and the
         consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, including,
         without limitation, the receipt of interest by the Owners and the

         has the right to cure defaults on the ground lease; and (vii) the terms
         and conditions of the leasehold do not prevent the free and absolute
         marketability of the Property. As of the Cut-Off Date, the Principal

         affiliate of the Seller or a broker for simultaneous assignment to the
         Seller;

                  (l) Neither the operation of any of the terms of each Note and
         each Mortgage nor the exercise of any right thereunder will render
         either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, nor
         subject it to any right of rescission, claim set-off, counterclaim or
         defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury;

         jurisdictions; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Seller shall not be required
         to record an assignment of a Mortgage if the Seller furnishes to the
         Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, on or before the Startup Day, at

         In instances where the original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered
by the Seller to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee prior to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement due to a delay in
connection with recording, the Seller may in lieu of delivering such original
recorded Mortgage, deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee a
copy thereof, provided that the Seller certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor. In all such instances, the Seller
will deliver or cause to be delivered the original recorded Mortgage to the
Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee promptly upon receipt of the

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.06, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage, the assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the
Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Depositor and Seller shall be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage, such assignment or
assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true
copy of the recorded original thereof.

         Not later than ten days following the end of the 60-day period referred
in clause (b)(ii) above, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee, a list of all Mortgages for which no Mortgage assignment
has yet been submitted for recording by the Seller, which list shall state the
reason why the Seller has not yet submitted such Mortgage assignments for
recording. With respect to any Mortgage assignment disclosed on such list as not
yet submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of original recording
information, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall make an
immediate demand on the Seller to prepare such Mortgage assignments, and shall
inform the Insurer, in writing, of the Seller's failure to prepare such Mortgage
assignments. Thereafter, the Custodian, on behalf of the

                                       -56-
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee, shall cooperate in executing any documents prepared by the
Insurer and submitted to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in
connection with this provision. Following the expiration of the 60-day period
referred to in clause (b)(ii) above, the Seller shall promptly prepare a
Mortgage assignment for any Mortgage for which original recording information
is subsequently received by the Seller, and shall promptly deliver a copy of
such Mortgage assignment to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee. The Seller agrees that it will follow its normal servicing
procedures and attempt to obtain the original recording information necessary
to complete a Mortgage assignment. In the event that the Seller is unable to
obtain such recording information with respect to any Mortgage prior to the
end of the 18th calendar month following the Startup Day and has not provided
to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee a Mortgage assignment
with evidence of recording thereon relating to the assignment of such
Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee shall notify the Seller of the Seller's obligation to provide a
completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) on or before the
end of the 20th calendar month following the Startup Day. A copy of such
notice shall be sent by the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to
the Insurer. If no such completed assignment (with evidence of recording
thereon) is provided before the end of such 20th calendar month, the related
Home Equity Loan shall be deemed to have breached the representation
contained in clause (xxii) of Section 2.05(b) hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
if as of the end of such 20th calendar month the Seller demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the Insurer that it is exercising its best efforts to obtain
such completed assignment and, during each month thereafter until such
completed assignment is delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee, the Seller continues to demonstrate to the satisfaction of
the Insurer that it is exercising its best efforts to obtain such completed
assignment, the related Home Equity Loan will not be deemed to have breached
such representation. The requirement to deliver a completed assignment with
evidence of recording thereon will be deemed satisfied upon delivery of a
copy of the completed assignment certified by the applicable public recording
office.

         Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Custodian on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee shall be retained in the related Mortgage File.

         All recording required pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be
accomplished at the expense of the Seller.

         (c)   In the case of Home Equity Loans which have been prepaid in
full on or after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, the Seller, in
lieu of the foregoing, will deliver within six (6) days after the Startup Day to
the Indenture Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set
forth in Exhibit __.

         (d)   The Seller shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey without recourse, to the Indenture Trustee all right, title and interest
of the Seller in and to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage delivered to the
Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust by the
Seller pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.07 hereof and all its right, title
and interest to principal and interest due on such Qualified Replacement
Mortgage on and after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Seller shall reserve and retain

                                       -57-
<PAGE>

all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest
due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage prior to the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date.

         (e)   As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in
connection with a repurchase or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage therefor, the Indenture Trustee will transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey without recourse or representation, on the Seller's order, all
of its right, title and interest in and to such released Home Equity Loan and
all the Trust's right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such
released Home Equity Loan after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the
case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trust shall reserve and or and retain
all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due
on such released Home Equity Loan prior to such repurchase or the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.

         (f)   In connection with any transfer and assignment of a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Seller
agrees to (i) deliver without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee on the date of delivery of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
the original Note relating thereto, endorsed in blank or to the order of the
Indenture Trustee, (ii) cause promptly to be recorded an assignment in the
appropriate jurisdictions, (iii) deliver the original Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and such recorded assignment, together with original or duly certified
copies of any and all prior assignments, to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee within 15 days of receipt thereof by the Seller (but in any
event within 120 days after the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement
Mortgage) and (iv) deliver the title insurance policy, or where no such policy
is required to be provided under Section 2.06(b)(i)(B), the other evidence of
title required in Section 2.06(b)(i)(B).

         (g)   As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in
connection with a repurchase or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall deliver on the
date of such repurchase or conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage and
on the order of the Seller (i) the original Note relating thereto, endorsed
without recourse or representation, in blank or to the order of, to the Seller,
(ii) the original Mortgage so released and all assignments relating thereto and
(iii) such other documents as constituted the Mortgage File with respect
thereto.

         (h)   If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of
recording, or is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a defect
therein, the Seller shall prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect,
as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly
recorded.

         Section 2.07. ACCEPTANCE BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE; CERTAIN SUBSTITUTIONS OF
HOME EQUITY LOANS; CERTIFICATION BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

         (a)   The Indenture Trustee agrees to execute and deliver and to
cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on the Startup Day an acknowledgment
of receipt of the items delivered by the Seller in the forms attached as Exhibit
__ hereto, and declares through the Custodian that it

                                       -58-
<PAGE>

will hold such documents and any amendments, replacement or supplements
thereto, as well as any other assets included in the definition of Trust
Estate and delivered to the Custodian, in trust upon and subject to the
conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the Owners and the Insurer.
The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Owners and the Insurer,
to cause the Custodian to review such items within 45 days after the Startup
Day (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within
45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof) and to deliver to the Depositor,
the Seller, the Servicer and the Insurer a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit __ (a "Pool Certification") to the effect that, as to each
Home Equity Loan listed in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans (other than any
Home Equity Loan paid in full or any Home Equity Loan specifically identified
in such Pool Certification as not covered by such Pool Certification), (i)
all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i)
of this Agreement have been executed and are in its possession and that the
Notes have been endorsed as set forth in Section 2.06(b)(i) hereof, (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or
torn and relate to such Home Equity Loan and (iii) based on its examination
and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans accurately reflects the information set forth
in the Mortgage File. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for
reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in this subsection
2.07(a). Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing
any Mortgage File, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for
determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of
any assignment is in proper form (except to determine if the Indenture
Trustee is the assignee), whether any document has been recorded in
accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction or whether a
blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but shall
only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it
appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports
to be recorded. The Indenture Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate
for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to
be on their face, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be under any duty to
determine independently whether there are any intervening assignments or
assumption or modification agreements with respect to any Home Equity Loan.

         (b)   If the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee during
such 45-day period finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File
which is not executed, has not been received, or is unrelated to the Home Equity
Loans identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, or that any Home Equity
Loan does not conform to the description thereof as set forth in the Schedule of
Home Equity Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall
promptly so notify the Depositor, the Seller, the Owners and the Insurer. In
performing any such review, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
may conclusively rely on the Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
review of the items delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) is
limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.06(b)(i)
have been executed and received, relate to the Mortgage Files identified in the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans and conform to the description thereof in the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans. The Seller agrees to

                                       -59-
<PAGE>

use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting
part of a Mortgage File of which it is so notified by the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 90 days after such
notice to it respecting such defect the Seller has not remedied the defect
and the defect materially and adversely affects the interest in the related
Home Equity Loan of the Owners or the Insurer, the Seller will (or will cause
an affiliate of the Seller to) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date
(i) substitute in lieu of such Home Equity Loan a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in
the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan at
a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase
price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account.

         (c)   In addition to the foregoing, the Custodian, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee also agrees to make a review during the 12th month after the
Startup Day indicating the current status of the exceptions previously indicated
on the Pool Certification (the "Final Certification"). After delivery of the
Final Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer shall provide to the Insurer no less frequently than monthly updated
certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions, until all such
exceptions have been eliminated.

         Section 2.08.  CUSTODIAN.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 3.11 and the related Pool Certification and Final
Certification shall be performed by the Custodian on the Indenture Trustee's
behalf pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, the Indenture
Trustee shall remain primarily liable for such obligations. The fees and
expenses of the Custodian will be paid by the Servicer.

         If, pursuant to Section ____ of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian
shall request written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee hereby agrees to promptly provide such instructions.

         Section 2.09. COOPERATION PROCEDURES. The Seller shall, in connection
with the delivery of each Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, provide the Indenture Trustee with information
set forth in the Schedules of Home Equity Loans with respect to such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage.

         (a)   The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee covenant to provide each other with all data and information required to
be provided by them hereunder at the times required hereunder, and additionally
covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in providing any additional
information required to be obtained by any of them in connection with their
respective duties hereunder.

         (b)   The Servicer shall maintain such accurate and complete
accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Mortgage File as shall
enable it and the Indenture Trustee to

                                       -60-
<PAGE>

comply with this Agreement. In performing its recordkeeping duties the
Servicer shall act in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in
this Agreement. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted,
periodic audits of its accounts, records and computer systems as set forth in
Sections 3.13 and 3.14 hereof. The Servicer shall promptly report to the
Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to maintain its accounts, records
and computer systems herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure.

         (c)   The Seller further confirms to the Indenture Trustee that it
has caused the portions of the electronic ledger relating to the Home Equity
Loans to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such Home Equity
Loans have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed through the Depositor
to the Indenture Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance
with the terms of the trust created hereunder and that the Seller will treat the
transaction contemplated by such sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance as a
sale for accounting purposes.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 3.11 and the related Pool Certification and Final
Certification shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Custodian will be paid by the Servicer.

                                   ARTICLE III

                ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF HOME EQUITY LOANS

         Section 3.01      THE SERVICER.

         (a)   The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service
and administer the Home Equity Loans and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may enter into Subservicing
Agreements for any servicing and administration of Home Equity Loans with any
institution which (i) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to
enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement, (ii) (x)
has been designated an approved Seller-Servicer by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") for first and second home equity loans or (y) is an affiliate of the
Servicer or (z) is otherwise approved by the Insurer. The Servicer shall give
written notice to the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee prior to the
appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement and shall be in
form and substance acceptable to the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee. The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself
directly service the related Home Equity Loans or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

         (b)   Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the
servicing and administering of the Home Equity Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement 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 Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Home Equity Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be
deemed to have received payments on Home Equity Loans when the Subservicer has
received such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.

         (c)   Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Home Equity Loans involving a
Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to
be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and Noteholders and the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set
forth in

                                       -62-
<PAGE>

Section 3.01(d) herein. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed
by it to any Subservicer irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

         (d)   In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Servicing Termination), the
Indenture Trustee or its designee approved by the Insurer shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing
Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Indenture Trustee
or designee approved by the Insurer elects to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Subservicing Agreement. Each
Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be
immediately terminated by the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee in the event that
the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to an Event of Servicing Termination). In no event shall any
Subservicing Agreement require the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee as Successor
Servicer to pay compensation to a Subservicer or order the termination of such
Subservicer. Any fee payable or expense incurred in connection with such a
termination will be payable by the outgoing Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee
does not terminate a Subservicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, its designee
or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer
as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
Subservicing Agreements with regard to events that occurred prior to the date
the Servicer ceased to be the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense
and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon the request of the
Indenture Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Home Equity Loans then being
serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use
its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

         (e)   Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Home Equity Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Noteholders, the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest and the Insurer, provided, however, that (unless (x) the Mortgagor is
in default with respect to the Home Equity Loan, or such default is, in the
judgment of the Servicer, imminent, (y) with respect to any modification
lowering the Coupon Rate or effecting the forgiveness of any amount owed under
the Mortgage Note, or extending the final maturity date on such Home Equity
Loan, the Insurer has consented to such modification and (z) such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence would not cause a tax to be imposed on
the Trust) the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Home
Equity Loan that would change the Coupon Rate, defer or forgive the payment of
any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the
related Home Equity Loan) or extend the final maturity date on the Home Equity
Loan. No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of
Servicing Advances shall, for the

                                       -63-
<PAGE>

purposes of distributions to Noteholders, be added to the amount owing under
the related Home Equity Loan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and each
Noteholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to
the Home Equity Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If
reasonably required by the Servicer and requested in writing, the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and, if directed by the Servicer, any
Subservicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer and any such Subservicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Servicer, in servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans, shall employ or
cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO
management procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs
and exercises in servicing and administering home equity loans for its own
account, in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent
lending institutions servicing home equity loans similar to the Home Equity
Loans and giving due consideration to the Insurer's and the Trust's reliance on
the Servicer.

         (f)   On and after such time as the Indenture Trustee receives the
resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, if it so elects, and
with the consent of the Insurer, shall assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 herein. The Servicer shall, upon
request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to
the Indenture Trustee, all documents and records relating to the Home Equity
Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Servicer and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.

         (g)   The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer on or before the Closing Date and shall revise
such list from time to time, as appropriate, and shall deliver all revisions
promptly to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

         (h)   Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may
consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related
Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED that such senior lien secures a home equity loan
that refinances a First Lien and the combined loan-to-value ratio of the related
Home Equity Loan immediately following the refinancing (based on the outstanding
principal balance of the Home Equity Loan and the original principal balance of
such refinanced home equity loan) is not greater than the Combined Loan-to-Value
Ratio of such Home Equity Loan as of the related Cut-Off Date.

         Section 3.02      COLLECTION OF CERTAIN HOME EQUITY LOAN PAYMENTS.

         The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be

                                       -64-
<PAGE>

consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable
Insurance Policy, follow collection procedures for all Home Equity Loans as
it follows with respect to home equity loans in its servicing portfolio
comparable to the Home Equity Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, the
Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any late payment
charge, prepayment charge, assumption fee or any penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Home Equity Loan or any other fee or
charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing
compensation. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the
due dates for payments due on a Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make
payment of any required Delinquency Advance with respect to the payments so
extended to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and
Delinquent and had not been deferred, and shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.

         Section 3.03      Principal and Interest Account.

         (a)   The Servicer shall establish an account, which includes three
separate subaccounts into which amounts in respect of each Group will be
separately deposited and maintained (the "Principal and Interest Account"). The
Principal and Interest Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Principal and
Interest Account shall be titled: "________________, as Indenture Trustee in
trust for the registered holders of Centex Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes
and the Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the
Ownership Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 2000-__ Principal and
Interest Account." If the institution at any time holding the Principal and
Interest Account ceases to be eligible as a Designated Depository Institution
hereunder, then the Servicer shall immediately be required to name a successor
institution meeting the requirements for a Designated Depository Institution
hereunder. If the Servicer fails to name such a successor institution, then the
Principal and Interest Account shall thenceforth be held as a trust account with
a qualifying Designated Depository Institution selected by the Indenture
Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the
Owners if there is a change in the name, account number or institution holding
the Principal and Interest Account.

         (b)   Subject to Subsection (c) below, the Servicer shall deposit
all receipts required pursuant to Subsection (c) below and related to the Home
Equity Loans to the Principal and Interest Account on a daily basis (but no
later than the second Business Day after receipt). All funds in the Principal
and Interest Account shall be held and invested as set forth in Section 5.06
hereof.

         (c)   The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest
Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt, all principal
collected and interest due on the Home Equity Loans (net of the Servicing Fee
related to such Home Equity Loans) on and after the Cut-Off Date and the
Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, including any Prepayments and Net
Liquidation Proceeds, other recoveries or amounts related to the Home Equity
Loans received by the Servicer and any income from REO Properties, but net of
(i) Net Liquidation Proceeds to the extent such Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed
the sum of (a) the Principal Balance of the related Home Equity Loan immediately
prior to liquidation, plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such

                                       -65-
<PAGE>

Home Equity Loan (net of the related Servicing Fee) and (c) any unrecovered
Cram Down Losses, (ii) reimbursements for unreimbursed Delinquency Advances
(but solely from amounts received on the related Home Equity Loan) and (iii)
reimbursements for amounts deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
representing payments of principal and/or interest on a Note by a Mortgagor
which are subsequently returned by a depository institution as unpaid.

         (d)   The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Principal and
Interest Account, with respect to each Home Equity Group, only in the following
priority and for the following purposes:

                  (A) on each Monthly Remittance Date, to pay itself the related
         Servicing Fees to the extent such Servicing Fees are not retained by
         the Servicer;

                  (B) to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in
         the Principal and Interest Account;

                  (C) to withdraw amounts that have been deposited to the
         Principal and Interest Account in error;

                  (D) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 3.04 for
         unrecovered Delinquency Advances and unrecovered Servicing Advances (in
         each case, solely from amounts recovered on the related Home Equity
         Loan);

                  (E)      Nonrecoverable Advances; and

                  (F)      to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest
                           Account following the termination of the Trust
                           pursuant to Article IX;

                  (i) The Servicer shall (a) remit to the Indenture Trustee for
         deposit in the Distribution Account by wire transfer, or otherwise make
         funds available in immediately available funds, without duplication,
         the Monthly Remittance Amount allocable to a Remittance Period not
         later than the related Monthly Remittance Date, and (b) on each Monthly
         Remittance Date, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and
         the Insurer, a monthly servicing report, with respect to each Home
         Equity Group, containing (without limitation) the following
         information: principal and interest collected in respect of the Home
         Equity Loans, scheduled principal and interest that was due on the Home
         Equity Loans, relevant information with respect to Liquidated Loans, if
         any, summary and detailed delinquency reports, Liquidation Proceeds and
         other similar information concerning the servicing of the Home Equity
         Loans and any other information requested by the Insurer (including,
         without limitation, a liquidation report with respect to each
         Liquidated Loan). In addition, the Servicer shall inform the Indenture
         Trustee and the Insurer on each Monthly Remittance Date, with respect
         to each Home Equity Group, of the amounts of any Loan Purchase Prices
         or Substitution Amounts so remitted during the

                                       -66-
<PAGE>

         related Remittance Period, and of the Principal Balance of the Home
         Equity Loan having the largest Principal Balance as of such date.

                  (ii) The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee the
         information described in Section 3.03(d)(i)(b) and in Section 5.03 to
         enable the Indenture Trustee to perform its reporting requirements
         under Section 5.03 and to make the allocations and disbursements set
         forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.04.

         Section 3.04      Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.

         (a)   On or before each Monthly Remittance Date, the Servicer shall
be required to remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit to the Distribution
Account out of the Servicer's own funds or from collections on any Home Equity
Loans that are not required to be distributed on the Distribution Date occurring
during the month in which such remittance is made (all or any portion of such
amount to be replaced on future Monthly Remittance Dates to the extent required
for distribution) any Delinquent payment of interest with respect to each
Delinquent Home Equity Loan, which payment was not received on or prior to the
last day of the related Remittance Period. Such amounts of the Servicer's own
funds so deposited are "Delinquency Advances".

         The Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself on any Business Day
for any Delinquency Advances paid from the Servicer's own funds, from late
collections on the related Home Equity Loan or as provided in Section 5.01.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Servicer
determines in its reasonable business judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set out herein that any proposed Delinquency Advance would not be
recoverable, the Servicer shall not be required to make Delinquency Advances
with respect to such Home Equity Loan. To the extent that the Servicer
previously has made Delinquency Advances with respect to a Home Equity Loan that
the Servicer subsequently determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate Nonrecoverable Advances
from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account. The Servicer shall give written notice of such determination
as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer; the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to
the Transferor with respect to the Transferor Interest; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
the Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances
from Liquidation Proceeds for the related Home Equity Loan.

         (b)   The Servicer will pay all "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses
incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not
limited to, (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) the cost of any enforcement or
judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the cost of the management
and liquidation of REO Property, (iv) advances required by Section 3.10, except
to the extent that such amounts are determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
business judgment not to be recoverable and (v) expenses incurred pursuant to
Section 7.01. Such costs

                                       -67-
<PAGE>

will constitute "Servicing Advances". The Servicer may recover a Servicing
Advance (x) from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the Home Equity
Loans or, if not theretofore recovered from the Mortgagor on whose behalf
such Servicing Advance was made, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the
liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan and (y) as provided in Section
5.01. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Servicing Advances from
the Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan prior to the payment
of the Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. In no case
may the Servicer recover Servicing Advances from the principal and interest
payments on any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in Section 5.01.

         Section 3.05  Compensating Interest; Repurchase of Home Equity Loans.

         (a)   If a Prepayment in full of a Home Equity Loan or a Prepayment
of at least six times a Mortgagor's Monthly Payment occurs during any calendar
month, any shortfall between (x) the interest collected from the Mortgagor in
connection with such payoff, and (y) the full months interest at the Coupon Rate
that would be due on the related Due Date for such Home Equity Loan
("Compensating Interest") (but not in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fee for
the related Remittance Period) shall be deposited by the Servicer to the
Principal and Interest Account (or if such difference is an excess, the Servicer
shall retain such excess) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date and
shall be included in the Monthly Remittance Amount to be made available to the
Indenture Trustee on such Monthly Remittance Date. The Servicer may recover any
unreimbursed payments of Compensating Interest as provided in Section 5.01.

         (b)   Subject to the clause (c) below, the Servicer has the right
and the option, but not the obligation, to purchase for its own account any Home
Equity Loan which becomes a 60-Day Delinquent Loan, or any Home Equity Loan as
to which enforcement proceedings have been brought by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.10. Any such Home Equity Loan so purchased shall be purchased by the
Servicer on or prior to a Monthly Remittance Date at a purchase price equal to
the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account.

         (c)   If a Home Equity Loan to be purchased by the Servicer pursuant
to clause (b) above, is the greatest number of days Delinquent of all then
Delinquent Home Equity Loans (including Home Equity Loans relating to REO
Property), the Servicer may purchase such Home Equity Loan without having first
notified the Insurer of such purchase. In all other cases, the Servicer must
notify the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee, in writing, of its intent to
purchase a Home Equity Loan and the Servicer may not purchase such Home Equity
Loan without the written consent of the Insurer.

         (d)   The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the disposition of any REO
Property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted
to the Indenture Trustee as part of the Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by
the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee.

         Section 3.06      MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE.

         (a)   The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each
Home Equity Loan a hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally acceptable
to the Servicer that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides
for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity
Loan in an amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal
balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related senior lien loan, if any),
(ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the full insurable value of the premises. The
Servicer shall maintain the insurance policies required hereunder in the name of
the mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and shall be named as loss payee. The
policies shall require the insurer to provide the mortgagee with 30 days' notice
prior to any cancellation or as otherwise required by law. As an alternative to
maintaining a hazard insurance policy with respect to each Home Equity Loan, the
Servicer may maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy or policies if the
insurer or insurers of such policies are rated investment grade by Moody's and
Standard & Poor's.

         (b)   If the Home Equity Loan at the time of origination (or if
required by federal law, at any time thereafter) relates to a Mortgaged Property
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be
maintained with respect thereto a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration with a carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer in an amount
representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of
insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan of not less than the least
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the
related senior lien loan, if any), (ii) the minimum amount required to
compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust and the Insurer out of the
Servicer's own funds for any loss to the Trust or the Insurer resulting from the
Servicer's failure to advance premiums for such insurance required by this
Section when so permitted by the terms of the Mortgage as to which such loss
relates.

         (c)   Amounts collected by the Servicer under any Insurance Policies
shall be deposited into the Principal and Interest Account.

         Section 3.07      RESERVED.

         Section 3.08      RESERVED.

         Section 3.09      DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AND SUBSTITUTION
AGREEMENTS.

         When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall (except as provided below), to the extent it has
knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of the related Home Equity Loan under any "due-on-sale"
clause contained in the related Mortgage or Note; PROVIDED,

                                       -69-

<PAGE>

HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the
"due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law, or the Servicer, in a manner consistent
with reasonable commercial practice, and only if the Servicer reasonably
believes assumption by the purchaser would not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Owners or of the Insurer, permits the purchaser
of the related Mortgaged Property to assume such Home Equity Loan. An Opinion
of Counsel, provided at the expense of the Servicer, to the foregoing effect
shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such
event, the Servicer shall 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 Note and, unless
prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage documents, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the
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 Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent any such substitution
of liability agreement would be delivered by the Servicer outside of its
usual procedures for home equity loans held in its own portfolio the Servicer
shall, prior to executing and delivering such agreement, obtain the prior
written consent of the Insurer. The Home Equity Loan, as assumed, shall
conform in all material respects to the requirements, representations and
warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee
that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Indenture Trustee or to the Custodian on the Indenture
Trustee's behalf the original copy of such assumption or substitution
agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall
be added by the Indenture Trustee or by the Custodian on the Indenture
Trustee's behalf 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 Servicer
shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution
agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement,
no material term of the Home Equity Loan (including, without limitation, the
required monthly payment on the related Home Equity Loan, the stated
maturity, the outstanding principal amount or the Coupon Rate) shall be
changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be
deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the Subservicer
for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or
substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.

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

         Section 3.10 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED HOME EQUITY LOANS; WORKOUT OF
HOME EQUITY LOANS.

         (a)   The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
effect the ownership in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust
of Properties relating to defaulted Home Equity Loans as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and
which the Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section 3.05. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and
consistent with its servicing standards, including, but not limited to,
advancing funds for the payment of taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior
Liens, and insurance premiums. Any amounts so advanced shall constitute
"Servicing Advances" within the meaning of Section 3.04 hereof. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through
an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the
same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Owners, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Owners for the period prior to the sale
of such REO Property. The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any
hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are
defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state
or local environmental legislation, on a Mortgaged Property in determining
whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such
Mortgaged Property. If the Servicer has actual knowledge of any environmental or
hazardous waste risk with respect to the Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is
contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Servicer will cause an environmental inspection of the Mortgaged Property in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement. The
Servicer shall not take any such action with respect to any Mortgaged Property
known by the Servicer to contain such wastes or substances or to be within one
mile of the site of such wastes or substances, without the prior written consent
of the Insurer.

         (b)   The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted
Home Equity Loan, when it has recovered, whether through Indenture Trustee's
sale, foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or
on account of such defaulted Home Equity Loan, whereupon such Home Equity Loan
shall become a "Liquidated Loan" and the Servicer shall promptly submit a
liquidation report to the Insurer in form acceptable to the Insurer.

         (c)   The Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or
amendment of any provision of any Home Equity Loan unless, in the Servicer's
good faith judgment, such modification, waiver or amendment would minimize the
loss that might otherwise be experienced with respect to such Home Equity Loan
and only in the event of a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan
or in the event that a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan is
reasonably foreseeable by the Servicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no

                                       -71-
<PAGE>

such modification, waiver or amendment shall extend the maturity date of such
Home Equity Loan beyond the Remittance Period related to the Final
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything set out in this Section 3.10(c)
or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be
permitted to modify, waive or amend any provision of a Home Equity Loan if
required by statute or a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.

         (d)   The Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage based
on the delinquency characteristics as of the Startup Day; provided, that the
foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings
on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage including
delinquency characteristics in the Servicer's discretion so warrant such action.

         Section 3.11 INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.

         (a)   Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan (including
any liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or otherwise), or
the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, a written request of the
Servicer signed by an Authorized Officer which states the purpose of the release
of a Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such written request, the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File, in trust, in its reasonable discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow
agent or (iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Indenture Trustee. Upon
any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds
have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as
attorney-in-fact for the Indenture Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage
which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage
without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage,
which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of
payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may
be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or to the
Indenture Trustee. In lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as
the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and submit to the Custodian, on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee, a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if
requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by
the Indenture Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer;
in such event, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall execute
and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver
the same with the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.

         (b)   The Servicer shall have the right (upon receiving the prior
written consent of the Insurer) to accept applications of Mortgagors for
consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations and (iii)
removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages. No
application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the
provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not
exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio

                                       -72-
<PAGE>

of such Note on the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable,
and any increase in the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not exceed ___% unless
approved in writing by the Insurer; and (z) the lien priority of the related
Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of an
Officer's Certificate executed on behalf of the Servicer setting forth the
action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Home Equity Loan and
certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A
proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall
accompany any Officer's Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to
this paragraph. The Servicer shall notify the Insurer and the Rating Agencies
if an application is approved under clause (y) above without approval in
writing by the Insurer.

         (c)   From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any
Home Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable
conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable Home Equity
Loan Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer, promptly upon a written request of the Servicer signed by
an Authorized Officer, which states the purpose of the release of a Mortgage
File; provided, however, that no more than ___% of the outstanding Home Equity
Loans (by number) shall be released to the Servicer at any time. Such receipt
shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee
when the need therefore by the Servicer no longer exists.

         (d)   In all cases where the Servicer needs the Indenture Trustee to
sign any document or to release a Mortgage File within a particular period of
time, the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee
by telephone of such need and the Indenture Trustee shall thereon use its best
efforts to comply with the Servicer's needs, but in any event will comply within
two Business Days of such request.

         (e)   No costs associated with the procedures described in this
Section 3.11 shall be an expense of the Trust.

         Section 3.12      SERVICING COMPENSATION.

         As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain the amount of the related Servicing Fee with respect to each
Home Equity Loan. Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment
charges, release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, late payment charges,
prepayment penalties, or any other servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation
Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
pursuant to Section 3.03 and similar items may, to the extent collected from
Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer, unless a successor Servicer is
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, in which case the successor Servicer
shall be entitled to such fees as are agreed upon by the Indenture Trustee, the
Insurer and the successor Servicer.

                                       -73-

         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
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

         Section 3.13      ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE.

         The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies, on or before
________ ___ of each year, commencing in _____, an Officer's Certificate
stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during such preceding calendar 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 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 Servicer to remedy such default.

         The Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the
Insurer and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge
thereof but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice
by means of an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time would become a Servicer Termination Event.

         Section 3.14 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' REPORTS.

         On or before ________ ___ of each year, commencing in _____, the
Servicer, at its own expense (or if the Indenture Trustee is then acting as
Servicer, at the expense of the Seller, which in no event shall exceed $_____
per annum), shall cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer,
the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies a letter or letters of a firm of
independent, nationally recognized certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Insurer stating that such firm has examined the Servicer's
overall servicing operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and stating such firm's
conclusions relating thereto.

pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the Servicer may not assign its obligations
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have first obtained
the written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, which such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any assignee must
meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 7.01 hereof for a
successor servicer.

         Section 3.17      INSPECTIONS BY INSURER; ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
INSURANCE.

         (a)   At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
notice, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, [the Transferor], or any agents
thereof may inspect the Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the
servicing operations of the Servicer during the Servicer's normal business hours
with any of its officers or directors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the costs and
expenses incurred by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection
with any such examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer.

         (b)   The Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee if it shall
become the Servicer hereunder) agrees to maintain errors and omissions coverage
and a fidelity bond, each at least to the extent required by Section 305 of Part
I of FNMA Guide or any successor provision thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
any event that the fidelity bond or the errors and omissions coverage is no
longer in effect, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly give such notice to the Insurer and the Owners.

         Section 3.18 ADDITIONAL SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR SECOND MORTGAGE
LOANS.

         The Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of
any action by a superior lienholder under a superior lien for the protection of
the Indenture Trustee's interest, where permitted by local law and whenever
applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a
party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior
lienholder's equity of redemption.

         If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has
accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations under a First Mortgage
Loan, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the
promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to
have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on
behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of
the Owners and the Insurer, and/or to preserve the security of the related Home
Equity Loan. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default
or reinstate the lien securing a First Mortgage Loan, if such advance is in the
best interests of the Insurer and the Owners; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
additional advance need be made if such advance would be nonrecoverable from
Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall
thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.
Any expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be
Servicing Advances.

         Section 3.19      THE GROUP III HOME EQUITY LOANS.

         The Servicer shall enforce each Home Equity Loan in Group III in
accordance with its terms and shall timely calculate, record, report and apply

either a timely or accurate adjustment to the Coupon Rate or monthly payment or
to notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, upon the Servicer's discovery of
such error and such continued failure, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds
any shortage. If the Servicer's continued failure after notice thereof to make a
scheduled change affects the Trust's rights to make future adjustments under the
terms of such Home Equity Loan, the Servicer shall repurchase such Home Equity
Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any amounts paid by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall not be an advance and shall not be reimbursable
from the proceeds of any Home Equity Loan.

business that the Seller or the Servicer is to cease or desist, or to undertake
any practice, program, procedure or policy employed by the Seller or the

undertaking will materially and adversely affect the conduct of the Seller's or

                                     INSURER

         Section 4.01      CLAIMS UPON THE INSURANCE POLICIES.

         (a)   As soon as possible, and in no event later than 10:00 a.m. New
York City time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Servicer with a completed notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the
applicable Insurance Policy (the "Notice for Payment") in the event that the
relevant Insured Payment for such Distribution Date is equal to an amount
greater than zero. The Notice for Payment shall specify the amount of the
Insured Payment and the Class of Notes with respect to which such Insured
Payment is to be made, and shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment
pursuant to the applicable Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of an Insured Payment
on behalf of the Holders of the Notes under the Insurance Policy, the Indenture
Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payment in the Distribution Account and shall
distribute such Insured Payments pursuant to Section 5.01.

         (b)   The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate
record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of the Notes from
moneys received under each Insurance Policy. The Insurer shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon four
Business Day's prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

         (c)   If a payment to the Noteholders which is guaranteed pursuant
to an Insurance Policy is voided (a "Preference Event") under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an Insolvency Proceeding
(as defined in the applicable Insurance Policy), and, as a result of such a
Preference Event, the Indenture Trustee is required to return such voided
payment, or any portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the Notes (an
"Avoided Payment"), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer (w) a
certified copy of a final order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such
Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Indenture Trustee is required to
return any such payment or portion thereof during the term of the Insurance
Policy because such payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to
which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal having been filed
(the "Final Order"), (x) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Insurer that
such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all
rights and claims of the Indenture Trustee relating to or arising under such
Avoided Payment and (z) appropriate instruments to effect the appointment of the
Insurer as agent for the beneficiary in any legal proceeding related to such
preference payment. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver,
conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final
Order and not to the Indenture Trustee directly (unless a Noteholder has
previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession
or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order in which case such payment
shall be disbursed to the beneficiary for distribution to such Noteholder upon
proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Insurer). The Indenture Trustee
is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust or

                                       -78-
<PAGE>

on any Noteholder for payments made to any Noteholder which are characterized
as preference payments by any bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any
bankrupt Mortgagor unless ordered to do so by such bankruptcy court.

         (d)   Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to any
Insurance Policy in respect of the Notes shall be deposited to the Distribution
Account.

         Section 4.02 EFFECT OF PAYMENTS BY THE INSURER; SUBROGATION. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of
or interest on any of the Notes which are made with moneys received pursuant to
the terms of any Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of such Notes,
as applicable, from the Trust and shall not result in the payment of or the
provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on such Notes, within
the meaning of Section 5.01 herein. The Seller, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees, that
without the need for any further action on the part of the Insurer, the Seller,
the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (a) to the extent the
Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or
interest on any Notes to the Holders of such Notes, the Insurer will be fully
subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest,
as applicable, from the Trust and (b) the Insurer shall be paid such principal
and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in
the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

         The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects
with any reasonable request by the Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the
Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights
or affecting the interests of the Holders of the Notes, as otherwise set forth
herein.

         Section 4.03 REPLACEMENT INSURANCE POLICY. In the event of a default by
the Insurer under any Insurance Policy or if the claims paying ability rating of
the Insurer is downgraded and such downgrade results in a downgrading of the
then current rating of the Notes (in each case, a "Replacement Event"), the
Seller may, in accordance with and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in the Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement and payment in full of all
amounts owed to the Insurer, but shall not be required to, substitute a new
insurance policy or insurance policies for the existing Insurance Policy, or may
arrange for any other form of credit enhancement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
each case the Notes shall be rated no lower than the rating assigned by each
Rating Agency to the Notes immediately prior to such Replacement Event. It shall
be a condition to substitution of any new credit enhancement that there be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) a legal opinion, acceptable in form and
substance to the Indenture Trustee, from counsel to the provider of such new
credit enhancement with respect to the enforceability thereof and such other
matters as the Indenture Trustee may require and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such substitution would not have a materially adverse tax effect
on the Trust. Upon receipt of the items referred to above and the taking of
physical possession of the new credit enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall,
within five Business Days

                                       -79-

following receipt of such items and such taking of physical possession,

(in a manner consistent with the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness of the
Trust, or as may be otherwise required by Section 3.21 herein) Internal Revenue
Service Form 1099 (or any successor form) and any other tax forms required to be
filed or furnished to Noteholders in respect of distributions by the Indenture
Trustee (or the Paying Agent) on the Notes and shall file and distribute such
forms as required by law.

         (c)   The Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to each
Noteholder and to the Insurer (if requested in writing), during the term of this
Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or
not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with
respect to the Noteholder or the Insurer, as the case may be, or otherwise with
respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be
provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions
(if requested in writing) as the Noteholder or the Insurer, as the case may be,
may reasonably require; provided that the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Noteholder or the Insurer, as the
case may be, for their respective fees and actual expenses associated with
providing such reports, if such reports are not generally produced in the
ordinary course of their respective businesses or readily obtainable.

         (d)   Reports and computer tapes furnished by the Servicer pursuant
to this Agreement shall be deemed confidential and of a proprietary nature, and
shall not be copied or distributed except to the extent provided in this
Agreement and to the extent required by law or to the Rating Agencies, the
Depositor, the Insurer's reinsurers, parent, regulators, liquidity providers and
auditors and to the extent the Seller instructs the Indenture Trustee in writing
to furnish information regarding the Trust or the Home Equity Loans to
third-party information providers. No Person entitled to receive copies of such
reports or tapes or lists of Noteholders shall use the information therein for
the purpose of soliciting the customers of the Seller or for any other purpose

         Section 5.04      CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION RESERVE ACCOUNTS.

         (a)   The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain three
separate trust accounts in respect of Group I, Group II and Group III (the
"Group I Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account", the "Group II
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account" and the "Group III
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account," respectively, each, a
"Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account" and, together, the
"Cross-Collateralization Reserve Accounts"), titled "____________, as
Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders Centex Home Equity
Loan Asset-Backed Notes and the Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the
Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest, as their interests may
appear, Series 2000-__ Group [1][2][3] Cross-Collateralization Reserve
Account." Each Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account shall be an Eligible
Account.

         On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit any
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Deposit for a Group and such Distribution Date
in the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for such Group. The amounts on
deposit, if any, in each Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account will be used to
make Cross-Collateralization Payments in respect of each other Class of Notes,
as provided in subsections (b)-(d) below. Amounts may be withdrawn or released
from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Accounts solely in accordance with
subsections (b)-(e) of this Section 5.04. Amounts on deposit in each
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account may be invested in Eligible Investments
pursuant to Section 5.06 below. Any investment earnings on such amounts will be
retained in the related Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account.

         (b)   On any Distribution Date on which the Note Principal Balance
of the Notes in a Class (after giving effect to payments in respect of principal
of such Notes, including any Cross-Collateralization Payments to be made from
Excess Available Funds for the other Group(s), but before giving effect to
withdrawals from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for the other
Group(s), on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Group Principal Balance for
such Group as of the end of the related Remittance Period, the Indenture Trustee
shall withdraw from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for each other
Group an amount in the aggregate equal to the lesser of (a) the
Undercollateralization Amount, and (b) the amount on deposit in the related
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account and apply such withdrawn amount as a
Cross-Collateralization Payment in accordance with Section 5.01(a). The amount
to be withdrawn from each Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account is determined
pursuant to Section 5.04(d)(2) below.

         (c)   On any Distribution Date on which the sum of any Interest
Deficiency and Insurer Reimbursement Deficiency, in each case with respect to a
Group and such Distribution Date, exceeds the amount of Excess Available Funds
for the other Group(s) and Distribution Date after application of such Excess
Available Funds to any Cross-Collateralization Payment (such excess, the
"Deficiency Excess"), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each other
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account an amount equal in the aggregate to such
Deficiency Excess and apply such withdrawn amount as a Cross-Collateralization
Payment in accordance with Section 5.01(a).

                                       -87-
<PAGE>

                  (d) (1) Any Cross-Collateralization Payments shall be made
         first from all Excess Available Funds and then from amounts on deposit
         in the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Accounts.

                  (2) If two Groups will make Cross-Collateralization Payments,
         each contributing Group will contribute to the amount calculated for
         the receiving Group in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
         "Cross Collateralization Payment" pro rata, based on the amount of
         Excess Available Funds for each contributing Group, and if required,
         based on the amounts on deposit in the Cross-Collateralization Reserve
         Account of each contributing Group. Alternatively, if one Group will
         make a Cross-Collateralization Payment, each receiving Group shall
         share, pro rata, the Excess Available Funds and if required, the
         amounts withdrawn from the Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account, of
         the contributing Group, based on the amount calculated for each
         receiving Group in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
         "Cross Collateralization Payment".

         (e)   On any Distribution Date on which the amounts on deposit in a
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account for a Group exceed the Required
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Amount with respect to such Group and
Distribution Date (after giving effect to all distributions on such Distribution
Date), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw an amount equal to the
Cross-Collateralization Reserve Release Amount for such Group and Distribution
Date, and distribute such Cross-Collateralization Reserve Release Amount to the
Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest.

         Section 5.05 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. The Indenture Trustee shall
establish an account, which includes three separate subaccounts into which
amounts in respect of each Group will be separately deposited (the "Distribution
Account"), titled "________________, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the
registered holders of Centex Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes and the
Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 2000-__ Distribution Account."
The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Indenture Trustee
shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in
respect of the Home Equity Loans received by it immediately following receipt
thereof to the appropriate subaccount in the Distribution Account including,
without limitation, all amounts (i) withdrawn by the Servicer from the Principal
and Interest Account pursuant to Sections 3.03 or 3.04 herein for deposit to the
Distribution Account, (ii) drawn under any Insurance Policy in respect of an
Insured Payment, or (iii) received by it in respect of a Cross-Collateralization
Payment. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested in
Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 5.06 below.

         Section 5.06      INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

         (a)   So long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have
occurred and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code,
all or a portion of any Account

                                       -88-
<PAGE>

held by the Indenture Trustee shall be invested and reinvested by the
Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in one or more
Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. If an Event of
Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing or if the
Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Indenture Trustee shall
invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of
the definition of Eligible Investments. No such investment shall mature later
than (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date,
in the case of the Distribution Account, (ii) the Monthly Remittance Date
immediately preceeding the Distribution Date, in the case of the Principal
and Interest Account, or (iii) the third Business Day immediately preceding
the next Distribution Date, in the case of the Cross-Collateralization
Reserve Accounts (except that, in the case of the Distribution Account, (i)
if such Eligible Investment is an investment described in item (vi) of
Eligible Investments or an obligation of the Indenture Trustee, then such
Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date and
(ii) any other date as may be approved by the Rating Agencies and the
Insurer).

         (b)   If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account
held by the Indenture Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available
to make such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or
otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such
Account.

         (c)   The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for
the selection of Eligible Investments or by reason of any investment loss or
charge or any insufficiency in any Account held by the Indenture Trustee
resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein
unless the Indenture Trustee's failure to perform in accordance with this
Section is the cause of such loss or charge (except to the extent that the
Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in
subsection (b) of this Section). The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability
in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible
Investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to
provide timely written investment direction. In the absence of written
investment direction, the Indenture Trustee shall invest funds in the Accounts
in the Eligible Investment described in clause (vi) of the definition thereof.

         (d)   The Indenture Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds in the
Accounts held by the Indenture Trustee, to the fullest extent practicable, in
such manner as the Servicer shall from time to time direct as set forth in
Section 5.06(a), but only in one or more Eligible Investments.

         (e)   So long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have
occurred and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of,
and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and
the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing
compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee), and shall (i) in the case of
the Distribution Account, be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer on or before
the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or
gain is received; and (ii) in the case of the Principal and Interest Account, be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer immediately following remittance of the
Monthly Remittance Amount on the Monthly

                                       -89-
<PAGE>

Remittance Date. The Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest
Account or the Distribution Account, as the case may be, the amount of any
loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in
excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such
loss from its own funds, without any right to reimbursement therefore.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                   THE SELLER, THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

         Section 6.01 LIABILITY OF THE SELLER, THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR.
The Seller and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Seller
or 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 SERVICER OR THE DEPOSITOR. Any corporation into
which the Seller, the Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Seller, the 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 Servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor Servicer, and shall be approved by the Insurer.

         Section 6.03 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SERVICER AND OTHERS.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Noteholders for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of
the Servicer hereunder; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that this provision shall not be
construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts
advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Net Liquidation
Proceeds realized with respect to the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer and
any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer 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 Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Notes, other
than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Home Equity Loan or
Home Equity Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may with the consent of the
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement,
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Noteholders

                                       -91-
<PAGE>

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. The Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive any resignation or termination of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 below with respect to any
losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or
termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation
or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely in its
capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

         Section 6.04 SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.02, Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 herein, the 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 Servicer so causing such a conflict
being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the
Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered
a letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor
servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as
Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current rating of the Notes; and (c) such proposed successor servicer is
reasonably acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by a letter to the Indenture
Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall
become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the
Indenture Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor
servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below. Any such resignation shall not
relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in
Sections 7.01 and 7.02 below as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

         Section 6.05 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. In the ordinary course of business,
the Servicer at any time 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 herein. Such
delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and
responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04 above. The Servicer shall provide
the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee with written notice prior to the
delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer's
Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, and the Insurer shall
have consented to the appointment of any such Subservicer (which consent shall
not have been unreasonably withheld).

         Section 6.06 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SERVICER. The Servicer shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trust, the Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee and its officers, directors,

                                       -92-
<PAGE>

agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or
injury suffered or sustained by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its activities in servicing or
administering the Home Equity Loans pursuant to this Agreement, including,
but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable fees of,
counsel of its selection and other costs or expenses incurred in connection
with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim
related to the Servicer's misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. Any such
indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the Trust. The
provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an
injured party subject to the limitations hereof. The provisions of this
Section 6.06 shall survive termination of the Agreement or the earlier of the
resignation or removal of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case
may be. In addition, the Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section [6.7] of the Indenture.

                  (ii) If without the application, approval or consent of the
         Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent
         jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of the Servicer
         an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization,

         such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or pending
         and unstayed for any period of seventy-five (75) consecutive days; or

                  (iii) The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of
         its obligations hereunder and shall continue in default thereof for a
         period of thirty (30) days (one (1) Business Day in the case of a delay
         in making a payment or deposit required of the Servicer under this

         Insurer of said failure; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Servicer can
         demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it is
         diligently pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be
         extended with the written approval of the Insurer; or

         period of sixty (60) days after the earlier of the Servicer's discovery
         or receipt of notice thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Servicer
         can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Insurer that it
         is diligently pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be
         extended with the written approval of the Insurer; or

                  (v) The merger, consolidation or other combination of the
         Servicer with or into any other entity, unless (1) the Servicer or an
         Affiliate of the Servicer is the surviving entity of such combination

         accordance with generally acceptable account principles), (C) is
         consented to by the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably
         withheld) and (D) agrees to assume the Servicer's obligations
         hereunder; or

                  (vi) The failure of the Servicer to satisfy the Servicer
         Termination Test; or

                  (vii) The Servicer shall be declared in default of its credit
         facility by its credit facility provider, which default, if left
         uncured, would result in termination or acceleration of amounts owed
         thereunder; or

                  (viii) Centex Corporation or its successors shall fail to own,
         directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Servicer unless (a) the
         Servicer shall be rated at least investment grade by each Rating Agency
         or (b) the Servicer shall have at all times committed financing
         capacity in a total amount of at least three times the Servicer's
         average loan originations funded during the immediately preceding three
         calendar months.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Servicing
Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the
Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Insurer or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all
Classes of Notes (with the consent of the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default
exists), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by Holders of Notes), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to
the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Trust
and the Insurer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Notes or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and,
without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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
Home Equity Loan and

Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer
to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in
Principal and Interest Account, or that have been deposited by the Servicer
in the Principal and Interest Account or thereafter received by the Servicer
with respect to the Home Equity Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the
Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to
reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be
paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses.

         [In addition, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event, as provided in
the Insurance Agreement, and upon the direction of the Insurer in connection
therewith, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the rights and responsibilities
of the Servicer hereunder and shall appoint a successor Servicer in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.02.]

         Section 7.02      INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

         (a)   On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns pursuant to 6.04 herein, the
Indenture Trustee or a previously agreed upon successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as 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 Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof. The Indenture Trustee
will immediately assume all obligations of the Servicer to make Delinquency
Advances. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no
such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the
Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer, or (ii) if the
Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee shall
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other home equity loan
or home equity loan servicer which has been designated as an approved
seller-servicer by FNMA or FHLMC for first and second home equity loans and
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 (or such lower level as may be
acceptable to the Insurer) as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting practices as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder; PROVIDED that any such successor Servicer shall be
acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by the Insurer's prior written consent;
and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned
to the Notes by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be held liable for any Servicing Fee or
for any differential in the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to
act as successor servicer

                                       -96-
<PAGE>

under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein.
In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be
entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Home Equity Loans in an
amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have
received pursuant to Section 3.12 herein (or such lesser compensation as the
Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The appointment of a
successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer
which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as
Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section
3.06 herein or to indemnify any party pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall
any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The
Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

         (b)   Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the
Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i)
continue to service and administer the Home Equity Loans for the benefit of the
Trust, and (ii) maintain in force an insurance policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer
hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents
to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.17
herein.

         Section 7.03 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The Insurer or the or the Holders of
Notes representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of
all Classes of Notes, with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld) may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any events
permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Insurer and the Holders of Notes representing not
less than 51% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes
may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Note without the
consent of the Holder of such Note. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist and any Event of Servicing 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.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating
Agencies.

         Section 7.04 NOTIFICATION TO NOTEHOLDERS. Upon any termination or
appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or
Section 6.04 above, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note
Register, the Insurer and each Rating Agency.

                                   TERMINATION

                         Section 8.01   TERMINATION.

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

         (b)   The Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on
any Monthly Remittance Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date by purchasing all
of the outstanding Home Equity Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the
sum of the outstanding Pool Principal Balance and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the weighted average of the Coupon Rates through the end of the
Remittance Period preceding the final Distribution Date, together with all
amounts due and owing to the Insurer (the "Termination Price").

         In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account (less amounts permitted to
be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), 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 Monthly Remittance Date before such Distribution
Date of the Termination Price.

         (c)   Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Noteholders may surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Servicer, if the
Servicer is exercising its right to transfer of the Home Equity Loans, given not
later than the first day of the month preceding the month of such final
distribution) to the Insurer and to the Servicer by letter to the Noteholders
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 (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Notes will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee therein designated, (ii) the

                                       -98-
<PAGE>

amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at
the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

         (d)   Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Notes on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Notes and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Distribution Date. On the final
Distribution Date prior to having made the distributions called for above, the
Indenture Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in the Servicing
Certificate for such Distribution Date, withdraw from the Distribution Account
and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution
on such final Distribution Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay the
Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and any amounts owing to the Indenture
Trustee in respect of the Indenture Trustee Fee and (y) the unpaid amounts due
and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement.

         (e)   In the event that all of the Noteholders shall not surrender
their Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date
cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final
distribution to Noteholders, to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the
remaining Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for
the benefit of such Noteholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised
its right to purchase the Home Equity Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any
other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to
surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Notes
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Transferor Interest will
be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto
and the Indenture Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds and the Noteholders shall look to the holder of
the Transferor Interest for payment.

         (f)   Upon payment of all amounts owed under any Insurance Policy
and cancellation of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the Insurer
notice of cancellation of the Notes and surrender the Insurance Policy to the
Insurer.

         Section 9.01      AMENDMENT.

         (a)   This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by
written agreement, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, but only with
the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
(i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct any defective provisions or to
correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Servicer, (iv) to add
any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement or any Insurance Policy, as the case may be, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) to add or amend any
provisions of this Agreement as required by any Rating Agency or any other
nationally recognized statistical rating agency in order to maintain or improve
any rating of the Notes (it being understood that, after obtaining the ratings
in effect on the Closing Date, neither the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the
Depositor nor the Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any such
rating), or (vi) to amend the definition of Specified O/C Amount; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment) in each case such action shall not, (1) have any
material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Noteholder, the Insurer or
the Trust or (2) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Noteholder or the Insurer, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the amendment shall not be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Noteholder or the Insurer, and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be
required by this clause (2) if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a
letter from the Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Notes
without regard to any Insurance Policy.

         (b)   This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the
Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, with
the consent of the Holders of Notes representing not less than 51% of the
aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Class of Notes affected thereby, or 51%
of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes if all such
Classes are affected thereby, and with the consent of the Insurer (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Transferor in
respect of the Ownership Interest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
on the Notes or distributions or payments under any Insurance Policy which are
required to be made on the Notes or without the consent of the Holder of such
Notes or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

         Prior to the execution of any such amendments, the Indenture Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Rating Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment
made with the consent of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Noteholder and
fully executed original counterparts of the instruments effecting such amendment
to the Insurer.

         (c)   It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders under
this Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
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 Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

         Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, each of the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and all conditions
precedent to the execution of such amendment have been met. The Indenture
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities
under this Agreement.

of the Noteholders or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the
Home Equity Loans.

     1.1    REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  As soon after the Closing Date as is
reasonably practicable, but in no event more than 15 days from the Closing
Date, BCC will, if it is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register
the Shares held by the Shareholders, file a registration statement on Form
S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3), or, if BCC is ineligible to file such
registration statement on Form S-3, then Form S-1 (or any successor to Form
S-1), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and such
applications or other filings as required under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws sufficient to permit the public offering of the Shares held
by the Shareholders (including the Holdback Shares) to be made on a
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and shall use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to be declared effective within 45 days from the
Closing Date, so that the Shares held by the Shareholders will be registered
for the offering on such Form; provided, however, that BCC shall be obligated
to file only one such registration statement on Form S-3 under this SECTION 1.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BCC shall not be obligated to effect a
registration pursuant to this SECTION 1.1: (i) in any particular jurisdiction
in which BCC would be required to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless
BCC is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be
required by the Securities Act; and (ii) if BCC shall furnish to each
Shareholder a certificate signed by the President of BCC stating that in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors the filing of a registration
statement would require the disclosure of material information that BCC has a
bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and that is not
then otherwise required to be disclosed, in which case BCC's obligation to
use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed 60 days from the receipt of such certificate by the
Shareholders.

<PAGE>

     1.2    REGISTRATION PROCEDURES AND EXPENSES.  If and whenever BCC is
required to include the Shares held by the Shareholders in a registration
statement under the Securities Act, as provided in SECTION 1.1 hereof, BCC
shall, as expeditiously as is reasonably practicable, do each of the
following:

     (a)    prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to the Shares held by the Shareholders and, subject to the
limitations under SECTION 1.1 hereof, use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective and remain effective as provided
herein;

     (b)    cooperate with the Shareholders and any underwriter who shall
sell the Shares held by the Shareholders in connection with their review of
BCC made in connection with such registration;

     (c)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the
earlier to occur of  the sale of all of the Shares by the Shareholders and
the date 30 days following the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the
registration statement, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with
respect to the disposition of all the Shares covered by such registration
statement for such period;

     (d)    furnish to the Shareholders such number of copies of the
prospectus forming a part of such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as the Shareholders may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Shares; and

     (e)    notify the Shareholders at any time when a prospectus relating to
the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act  of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus forming a part of
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances then existing, and  at the request of the Shareholders,
prepare and furnish to the Shareholders a reasonable number of copies of any
supplement to or any amendment of such prospectus that may be necessary so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, such
prospectus shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing.

     1.3    AGREEMENT BY THE SHAREHOLDERS.  In the event that a Shareholder
participates, pursuant to this ARTICLE 1, in the offering of the Shares, such
Shareholder shall:

     (a)    furnish BCC all material information reasonably requested by BCC
concerning the Shareholder and the proposed method of sale or other
disposition of the Shares and such other information and undertakings as
shall be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and filing of
the registration statement covering the Shares in order to ensure full
compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder;

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

     (b)    cooperate in good faith with BCC and its underwriters, if any, in
connection with such registration, including placing the Shares in escrow or
custody to facilitate the sale and distribution thereof, provided that such
escrow or custody arrangement shall be no more restrictive upon the
Shareholder than upon any other holder of BCC Stock for the benefit of whom
such registration is undertaken; and

     (c)    make no further sales or other dispositions, or offers therefor,
of the Shares under such registration statement if, during the effectiveness
of such registration statement, an intervening event should occur which, in
the opinion of counsel to BCC, makes the prospectus included in such
registration statement no longer comply with the Securities Act, so long as
written notice containing the facts and legal conclusions relied upon by BCC
in this regard has been received by the Shareholder from BCC, until such time
as the Shareholder has received from BCC copies of a new, amended or
supplemented prospectus complying with the Securities Act, which prospectus
shall be delivered to the Shareholder by BCC within 20 days  after such
notice.

     1.4    ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES.  If and whenever BCC is required by the
provisions of this ARTICLE 1 to use its best efforts to effect the
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act, BCC shall pay the costs
and expenses in connection therewith, other than the attorneys' fees of the
Shareholders; provided, however, that the Shareholders shall pay all
underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes
attributable to the Shares under such registration statement.

     1.5    INDEMNIFICATION.  (a) In the event of any registration of any of
the Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this ARTICLE 1, each
Shareholder shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless BCC,
each director of BCC, each officer of BCC who shall sign such registration
statement, each underwriter and any person who controls BCC or such
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and BCC's accountants
and legal counsel, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) including any of
the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or
threatened, with respect to any untrue statement of any material fact in,  or
omission of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading from such registration statement, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to BCC or its
underwriter through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the
Shareholder specifically for use in the preparation of such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or
supplement. In no event shall the liability of any Shareholder hereunder be
greater than the gross proceeds received by such Shareholder upon the sale of
his or its Shares.

     (b)    BCC will indemnify each Shareholder, his or its legal counsel and
accountants and each person controlling the Shareholder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each officer and director of each
Shareholder with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance
has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any,
and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), including any of
the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or
threatened,

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus,
offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or arising
out of or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, provided that BCC will not be liable to indemnify the
Shareholder or underwriter in any such case to the extent that any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to BCC by
an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Shareholder or underwriter
and stated to be specifically for use therein.

     (c)    Each party entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 1.5
(the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified
Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought,
and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall
not unreasonably be withheld).  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party may withhold its consent to any such counsel
who also acts as counsel to the Indemnifying Party (with respect to such
claim or otherwise) if  the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that there
exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, with respect to such claim or litigation.  In such event,
the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of another counsel who shall
represent the Indemnified Party and any other persons or entities who have
indemnification rights from the Indemnifying Party hereunder, with respect to
such claim or litigation, and shall be selected as provided in the first
sentence of this SECTION 1.5(c).  The Indemnified Party may participate in
such defense at such party's expense (except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is required to pay the expense of such counsel pursuant to
this SECTION 1.5(c)), and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless  such
failure is prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or
litigation.  No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such
claim or litigation.

     (d)    If the indemnification provided for in this SECTION 1.5 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified
Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred
to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     (e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in
conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement, if signed by the Shareholders, shall control.

     1.6    COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144.  At the request of any Shareholder who
proposes to sell securities in compliance with Rule 144, BCC shall, to the
extent necessary to enable such Shareholder to comply with such Rule 144, (y)
forthwith furnish to such Shareholder a written statement of compliance with
the filing requirements of the SEC as set forth in Rule 144 and (z) use
reasonable efforts to make available to the public and such Shareholder such
information as will enable the Shareholders to make sales pursuant to Rule
144.

     1.7    ASSIGNABILITY OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The rights set forth in
this Agreement shall accrue to each subsequent holder of at least 5,000
Shares who shall have executed a written consent agreeing to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement as a party to this Agreement.

     2.     NATURE OF STATEMENTS AND SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATIONS,
GUARANTEES, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDERS.  All
indemnifications, representations and warranties made by any Shareholder
hereunder or pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing regardless of any investigation
at any time made by or on behalf of BCC.  The covenants and agreements made
by the Shareholders hereunder or pursuant hereto or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby shall continue until all obligations with
respect thereto shall have been performed or satisfied or shall have been
terminated in accordance with their terms.

     3.     GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     3.1    GOVERNING LAW; INTERPRETATION; SECTION HEADINGS.  This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Texas without regard to conflict-of-laws rules as applied in
Texas.  The section headings contained herein are for purposes of convenience
only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement or to
affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement in any way.

     3.2    SEVERABILITY.  Should any provision of this Agreement be held
unenforceable or invalid under the laws of the United States of America or
the State of Texas, or under any other applicable laws of any other
jurisdiction, then the parties hereto agree that such provision shall be
deemed modified for purposes of performance of this Agreement in such
jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render it lawful and enforceable, or
if such a modification is not possible without materially altering the
intention of the parties hereto, then such provision shall be severed
herefrom for purposes of performance of this Agreement in such jurisdiction.
The validity of the remaining

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by any such modification
or severance, except that if any severance materially alters the intentions
of the parties hereto as expressed herein (a modification being permitted
only if there is no material alteration), then the parties hereto shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to agree to appropriate equitable amendments
to this Agreement in light of such severance.

     3.3    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings
related thereto.

     3.4    BINDING EFFECT.  All the terms, provisions, covenants and

superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, provisions, representations,
warranties, covenants or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written
instrument executed by all parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver, by
the party waiving compliance.  The failure of any party at any time or times
to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the
right to enforce the same.  No waiver by any party of any condition contained
in this Agreement, or of the breach of any term, provision, representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, in any one or more
instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing
waiver of any such condition or breach, or as a waiver of any other condition
or of the breach of any other term, provision, representation, warranty or
covenant.

     3.6    GENDER; NUMBERS.  All references in this Agreement to the
masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall, where appropriate, be deemed to
include all other genders.  All plurals used in this Agreement shall, where
appropriate, be deemed to be singular, and VICE VERSA.

     3.7    COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This
Agreement shall be binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually
or taken together, shall bear the signatures of the parties reflected hereon
as signatories.

     3.8    TELECOPY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY.  A facsimile, telecopy or other
reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto,

hereto agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any
facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.

     3.9    CONSTRUCTION.  The parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party
by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any
reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be
deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
unless the context requires otherwise.  The word "including" shall mean
including without limitation.

     3.10   REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All rights, powers and remedies provided
under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in
equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning
