                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of May 1,
2004 (the "Agreement"), among FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as depositor
(the "Depositor"), FREMONT INVESTMENT & LOAN, as servicer, WELLS FARGO BANK,
N.A., as master servicer and trust administrator and HSBC BANK USA, as trustee.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of sixteen
classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class IA-1 Certificates, (ii) the
Class IIA-1 Certificates, (iii) the Class IIA-2 Certificates, (iv) the Class
IIA-3 Certificates, (v) the Class M-1 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-2
Certificates, (vii) the Class M-3 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-4
Certificates, (ix) the Class M-5 Certificates, (x) the Class M-6 Certificates,
(xi) the Class M-7 Certificates, (xii) the Class M-8 Certificates, (xiii) the
Class M-9 Certificates, (xiv) the Class C Certificates, (xv) the Class P
Certificates and (xvi) the Class R Certificates.

                                     REMIC 1
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat
the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Group I Mortgage Loans, the
Group II Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Cap
Contract and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts) as a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and
such segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC 1." The Class R-1
Interest will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC 1 for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax
law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the
Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance, and solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each of the REMIC 1
Regular Interests. None of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be certificated.

the extent provided in Treasury regulations) provided that, for purposes solely
of the restrictions on the transfer of Residual Certificates, no partnership or
other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes shall be treated as a United States Person unless all persons that own
an interest in such partnership either directly or through any entity that is
not a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes are required by
the applicable operative agreement to be United States Persons, or an estate the
income of which from sources without the United States is includible in gross

supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States
persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. The

Residual Certificates in accordance with such Holders' respective Percentage
Interests in the Certificates of such Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
"Voting Rights" relating to any Certificate that is owned by the Originator, or
any Affiliate of the Originator, shall be zero unless all of the outstanding
Certificates are owned by the Originator and/or its Affiliates; provided
however, if any such Certificate is pledged to an indenture trustee, such
indenture trustee shall be entitled to exercise such Voting Rights.

                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to

respect to each Original Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned, the
following documents or instruments (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a
"Mortgage File") :

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed and signed in the
         name of the last endorsee by an authorized officer (which signature may

         aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal
         to 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut- off Date;

         thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage
         was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of
         recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been

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

                                       52

<PAGE>

                  (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R)
         System, an original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for
         recording, assigning the related Mortgage either (A) in blank or (B) to
         "HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee, without recourse";

                  (iv) an original copy of any intervening assignment of
         Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee (or to
         MERS if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System and
         noting the presence of MIN);

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

                  The Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is
identified on the Mortgage, if any of the documents referred to in Section
2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for
recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has
retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the
Trustee or the Custodian no later than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such
document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy
of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is
certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly
upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified
by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. If the original lender's title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, the
original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the
original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon
receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.

                  Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the
Trustee shall notify (or shall cause a Custodian on its behalf to notify) the
Trust Administrator and the Servicer, and the Servicer (or, to the extent
provided in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the
Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cure such defect or
deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian within 90 days. If
the Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within
such time period, the Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.02, the
Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Originator to either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. In connection
with the foregoing, it is understood

                                       53

<PAGE>

that the Trustee or a Custodian acting on its behalf shall have no duty to
discover any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the
Mortgage Files to the extent set forth herein.

                  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cause the Assignments which were
delivered in blank to be completed and to record all Assignments referred to in
Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv)
hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such assignments for recording
within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such Assignment is
lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall
enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect
cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage
Loan in any jurisdiction where the Rating Agencies do not require recordation in
order to receive the ratings on the Certificates at the time of their initial
issuance (the jurisdictions where the Rating Agencies do require recordation in
order to receive the ratings on the Certificates at the time of their initial
issuance being Maryland and Florida); provided, however, each Assignment, except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
shall be submitted for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to
the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, upon the earliest to
occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as
described in Section 8.02 hereof, (v) with respect to any particular Mortgage
Loan, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to
the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) with respect to any particular
Mortgage Loan, upon such Mortgage Loan becoming 90 days or more Delinquent. In
the event of (i) through (vi) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator to deliver such
Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30
days following receipt of notice by the Originator. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Originator fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments,
such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for
such expenses by the Trust. In the event any such Assignment is not recorded
when required, a successor to the Originator acting as Servicer will not have
any liability for its failure to act on notices that were not received and would
have been had such Assignment been recorded, except with respect to Mortgage
Loans that are subject to provisions (i) through (vi) set forth in this
paragraph, if such successor Servicer shall have failed to timely request the
Originator to cause such Assignments to be recorded.

                  In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of
the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator
shall cause (at the Originator's expense) to be completed such endorsements "Pay
to the order of HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee, without recourse."

                  The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan entered into in

                                       54

<PAGE>

accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian with a certified true
copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its
execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for
recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365 days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such 365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365 day
period, an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the
review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in
the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer on or prior
to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 (or to cause the
Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian to have reviewed) each
Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each Original
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify (cause the Custodian to
certify) to the Depositor and the Servicer in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after the Closing Date, with respect to
each Original Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after
the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified
Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to

                                       55

<PAGE>

Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have
been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on
their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination
and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule that corresponds to items (1) and (2) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as
applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any
such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they
are genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trust Administrator a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not to conform with
respect to any characteristics which are within the scope of the Trustee's (or
the Custodian's, as applicable) review as provided herein, at the conclusion of
its review, the Trustee shall so notify (cause the Custodian to notify) the
Depositor, the Originator, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Servicer (or upon receipt
by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in
such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

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

                  SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Originator.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect

                                       56

<PAGE>

of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee
shall promptly notify (cause the Custodian to notify) the Servicer of such
defect, missing document or breach and the Servicer shall request that the
Originator deliver such missing document or that the Originator cure such defect
or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator was notified of such
missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator does not deliver such
missing document or if the Originator does not cure such defect or breach in all
material respects during such period, the Servicer (or, to the extent provided
in Section 3.02, the Trustee) shall enforce the Originator's obligation under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Originator to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject to
Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release or cause the Custodian to release to the Originator the related Mortgage
File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator shall furnish to it
and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall have
any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being
understood that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall have any
responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its
intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, the Originator may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust
Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one
or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). In furtherance of the foregoing, if
the Originator is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Originator at its own expense and without
any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to the Originator and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration
on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against
the Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

                  (b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the
Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06,
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material
respects.

                  (c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer
or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

                  (d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the last Business Day

                                       57

<PAGE>

that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan
for which the Originator substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator delivering to the
Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by
Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within 45 days thereafter,
shall review or cause the Custodian to review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to the Servicer, the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator, with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver or cause
the Custodian to deliver to the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto
with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections
and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period
preceding the month of substitution and the Originator shall thereafter be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall give or cause to be given written notice to
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Upon such substitution by the Originator,
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution.

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

                                       58

<PAGE>

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

                  (e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties hereto. In connection therewith, the
Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made (i) by the
Originator if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is
or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if
the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non- qualified mortgage is a breach of
any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if
its status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or
warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner
as set forth in Section 2.03(a) or 2.03(d). The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Depositor or the Originator, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be
released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Originator for breach
of a representation or warranty.

Servicer.

warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery

Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust

                                       62

<PAGE>

Administrator of a breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties
and covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event
later than two Business Days following such discovery) to the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Servicer set
forth in Section 2.05(xi) above which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge,
the Servicer must pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the
benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount
into the Collection Account. The foregoing shall not, however, limit any
remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Originator made in its capacity as a party to
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.06. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

                  The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Certificateholders as
follows:

                  (i) This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
         similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
         limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
         proceeding at law or in equity);

                   (ii) Immediately prior to the sale and assignment by the
         Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each Mortgage Loan,
         the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Mortgage Loan
         (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the Originator) subject to
         no prior lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security
         interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any
         nature;

                  (iii) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred
         all right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on
         behalf of the Trust;

                  (iv) The Depositor has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to
         the Trustee on behalf of the Trust with any intent to hinder, delay or
         defraud any of its creditors;

                  (v) The Depositor has been duly incorporated and is validly
         existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware,
         with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct
         its business as presently being conducted;

                  (vi) The Depositor is not in violation of its articles of
         incorporation or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance
         of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained
         in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or

                                       63

<PAGE>

         other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or
         its properties may be bound, which default might result in any material
         adverse changes in the financial condition, earnings, affairs or
         business of the Depositor or which might materially and adversely
         affect the properties or assets, taken as a whole, of the Depositor;

                  (vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated thereby, do not and will not result in a material breach
         or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or, to the knowledge
         of the Depositor, constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage,
         deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
         the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor is bound or to which
         any of the property or assets of the Depositor is subject, nor will
         such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the articles
         of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or, to the best of the
         Depositor's knowledge without independent investigation, any statute or
         any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
         body having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its properties or
         assets (except for such conflicts, breaches, violations and defaults as
         would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
         Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement);

                  (viii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge without any
         independent investigation, no consent, approval, authorization, order,
         registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental
         agency or body of the United States or any other jurisdiction is
         required for the issuance of the Certificates, or the consummation by
         the Depositor of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
         except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
         qualifications as (a) may be required under State securities or Blue
         Sky laws, (b) have been previously obtained or (c) the failure of which
         to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the performance
         by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or
         enforceability of, this Agreement; and

                  (ix) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations
         pending before or, to the Depositor's knowledge, threatened by any
         court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the Depositor
         is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject: (a) which
         if determined adversely to the Depositor would have a material adverse
         effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of
         the Depositor; (b) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or the
         Certificates; (c) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates
         or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be; or (d) which might
         materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its
         obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
         Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.07. Issuance of Certificates.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.01 and 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other assets
included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trust Administrator, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed
by an officer of the

                                       64

                                Interests; Issuance of Certificates.

                  (a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the assets described in the definition of REMIC 1 for the
benefit of the holders of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (which are
uncertificated) and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1
Interest). The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests
(which are uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC 1 Regular
Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest).
The interests evidenced by the Class R-1 Interest, together with the REMIC 1
Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC
1.

                  (b) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to
the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor
in and to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) for the
benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates
(in respect of the Class R-2 Interest). The interests evidenced by the Class R-2
Interest, together with the Regular Certificates constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 2.

                  (c) In exchange for the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and,
concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant to the written
request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations, which
Certificates, together with the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class
R-2 Interest), evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 2.

                  (d) Concurrently with (i) the assignment and delivery to the
Trustee of REMIC 1 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the
Class R-1 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to
Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.09(a) and (ii) the assignment and
delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 2 (including the Residual Interest therein
represented by the Class R-2 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee
thereof, pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the Trust Administrator, pursuant to the
written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, has
executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the
Class R Certificates (evidencing the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2
Interest) in authorized denominations.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the
extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
         compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
         particular transaction.

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) either (A)
such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would,
in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds
taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage
Loan or (B) the collection of such Prepayment Charge is prohibited by applicable
law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted by meeting the
standards described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, then as a remedy for the
breach of such covenant, the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived
Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates,
by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with and at the
time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be
deposited into the Collection Account. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and
notwithstanding any state or federal law or provision of this Agreement
permitting otherwise, the Servicer shall not require the payment of any
Prepayment Charge in any instance in which the mortgage debt is accelerated as
the result of the borrower's default in making required payments on such
Mortgage Loan, and no Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount shall be payable
in connection with any noncollection of any Prepayment Charge in any such
instance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments
made by the Servicer in respect of any Prepayment Charges waived other than as
permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be paid outside of any REMIC.

                                       66

<PAGE>

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the
Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer a limited power of
attorney in the form of Exhibit I, executed by each payee or last endorsee, as
applicable, of each of the Mortgage Notes and each mortgagee or last assignee,
as applicable, of each of the Mortgages and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their
servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, such limited powers of
attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to
the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

                  The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name,
when the Servicer believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register
any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the
registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such
assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee
for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a
result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in
connection with the MERS(R) System, shall be subject to withdrawal by the
Servicer from the Collection Account.

                  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of this Section 3.01, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances
shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall
not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be
added to the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                                       67

<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 5.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting
from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default
with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any
tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall
furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable)
on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit
Information Company or their successors (the "Credit Repositories") in a timely
manner, and in connection therewith, in the case of each Group I Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall transmit full-file credit reporting data for each such
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and shall report
one of the following statuses each month as follows: new origination, current,
delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off.

                  SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
                                Sub-Servicers.

                  (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal,
qualification or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class
of Certificates. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator are hereby authorized
to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that
meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this
Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. No such
acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon
whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-
Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such
Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub- Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make

                                       68

<PAGE>

amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered
into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided, further,
that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the
Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect in a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions of
a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect
to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement, which, in each
case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or
credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be
inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator copies
of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof,
promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01) of the Originator
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or
defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty
or covenant, as described in Section 2.01 and Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a
general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that
such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans,
or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against
the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.01, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
against the Originator shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not
the Originator and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer

                                       69

<PAGE>

either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Sub- Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under
Section 3.02.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Servicer, (or by the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, if such party is acting as
successor Servicer, or by another successor Servicer appointed pursuant to
Section 8.02) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
the event that the Servicer that was a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a
Servicer Event of Termination).

                  SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders
for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.

                  SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
                                Sub-Servicers and the Trustee, the Trust
                                Administrator or Certificateholders.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and none of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or Certificateholders
shall have any claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be
solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of
whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to
pay such fees.

                  SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                Agreements by Trust Administrator or Trustee.

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the successor Servicer ( which may be the Master Servicer or the
Trustee) may thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, or
may terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as
provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the successor Servicer shall be
deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the departing Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the departing Servicer

                                       70

<PAGE>

as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each
Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i)
the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be
the Servicer and (ii) No successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the
Servicer.

                  The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it,
and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party. All applicable Servicing
Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of
reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer
defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the
successor Servicer or the Master Servicer (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the assets of the Trust).

                  SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 5.04
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or
interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as
"forbearance"). The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the
conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be
reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                                       71

<PAGE>

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub- Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                  SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
                                Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and
shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no
event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of
effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority
of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in
a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a
tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub- Servicing
Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant
to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with
respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article X. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a
Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing
Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance
coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the
exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer

                                       72

<PAGE>

hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such
payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with
respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, promptly and to the
extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be
advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As
part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required
by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing
Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess
interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent such action is in
conformity with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, is permitted
by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for
any of the other purposes set forth above.

                  SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.

                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
         and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
         accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in
         trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On
         behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
         deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
         payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
         mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
         more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
         shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more
         than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, as and
         when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
         payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
         Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the
         Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other
         than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
         Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
         Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
         Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds,
         Subsequent Recoveries and condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds
         collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in
         connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
         pursuant to Section 11.01);

                  (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
         with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
         pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
         blanket policy deductibles;

                                       73

<PAGE>

                  (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
         purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 11.01;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03;

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
         any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
         Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans; and

                  (ix) [reserved].

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

                  (b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before 2:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer
Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard
to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn
from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit
in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during
the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or
before 2:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  With respect to any remittance from the Servicer received by
the Trust Administrator after the Business Day on which such remittance was due
from the Servicer, the Servicer shall pay to the Trust Administrator interest on
the amount of such late remittance in an amount equal to the yield that would
have been earned had the amount of such late remittance been invested in

                                       74

<PAGE>

investments of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of Permitted
Investments, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Trust
Administrator on the date such late remittance is made and shall cover the
period commencing with the Business Day on which such remittance was due and
ending with the day immediately preceding the day on which such remittance is
made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not
be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Servicer Event of
Termination.

                  (c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
         Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
         provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give written
         notice to the Trustee and the Master Servicer of the location of the
         Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any
         change thereof. The Trust Administrator shall give notice to the
         Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account
         when established and prior to any change thereof.

                  (d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
         delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator for deposit in an
         account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the
         standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition
         thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
         part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trust
         Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held
         pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall
         deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution
         Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
         time request that the Trust Administrator withdraw such amount from the
         Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision
         herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer, with
         respect to items (i) through (v) below, shall deliver to the Trust
         Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Trust
         Administrator, with respect to items (i) through (v) below, shall so
         deposit, in the Distribution Account:

                  (i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 5.04;

                  (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.24(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
         Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 11.01;

                  (iv) any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.25 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and

                  (v) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee, the
         Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trust
         Administrator pursuant to the Agreement, including but not limited to
         funds required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 7.03,
         Section 8.02 and Section 9.05;

                  SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                Distribution Account.

<PAGE>

                  (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
         from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as
         described in Section 5.04:

                  (i) to remit to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
         Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to
         Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first
         sentence of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for
         (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which
         represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees),
         Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with
         respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 5.04; or (b) any unreimbursed Advances with
         respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are
         Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
         Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to
         such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for such
         unreimbursed Advances.

                  (iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
         Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
         Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
         Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and (c) any
         Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, upon a
         Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
         Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
         Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds
         received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to
         reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in
         addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any
         interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
         Collection Account;

                  (v) to pay the Originator with respect to each Mortgage Loan
         that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03
         all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
         substitution;

                  (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing
         Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
         Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
         5.04;

                  (vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
         Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
         Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

                  (viii) to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or
         reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.03;

                  (ix) [reserved];

                                       76

                  (x) [reserved];

                  (xi) [reserved]; and

                  (xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 11.01.

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

                  The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The
Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon
making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi)
above; provided that an Officers' Certificate in the form described under
Section 5.04(d) shall suffice for such written notification to the Trustee or
Trust Administrator in respect hereof.

                  (b) The Trust Administrator shall, from time to time, make
         withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following
         purposes, without priority:

                  (i) to make distributions in accordance with Section 5.01;

                  (ii) to pay the Master Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer
         pursuant to Section 4.14;

                  (iii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
         Section 10.01(g);

                  (iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 11.01;

                  (v) to pay any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee, the
         Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trust
         Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to
         funds required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 7.03,
         Section 8.02 and Section 9.05;

                  (vi) to pay to the Trust Administrator, any interest or
         investment income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution
         Account; and

                  (vii) [reserved].

                  SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
                                and the Distribution Account.

<PAGE>

                  (a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
         maintaining the Collection Account to invest the funds on deposit in
         such account, and the Trust Administrator may direct any depository
         institution maintaining the Distribution Account to invest the funds on
         deposit in such account or to hold such funds uninvested (each such
         account, for the purposes of this Section 3.12, an "Investment
         Account"). All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be in
         one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
         discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the
         Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are
         required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
         if a Person other than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon
         or if such investment is managed or advised by a Person other than the
         Trust Administrator or an Affiliate of the Trust Administrator, and
         (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be
         withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust
         Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed
         or advised by the Trust Administrator or any Affiliate. All such
         Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on
         demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made
         in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such), or in
         the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust
         Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect
         to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any
         income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any
         certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be
         delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its agent, together
         with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
         investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee. In the event
         amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in
         a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator
         shall:

                  (x) consistent with any notice required to be given
         thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
         Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
         to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
         amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

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

                  (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on
         behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and
         shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or
         Section 3.24, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit in the
         Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any
         loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment
         made with funds in such Account immediately upon realization of such
         loss.

                  (c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
         Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the
         Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in
         respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
         Account immediately upon realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the Trust Administrator may at its discretion, and without
         liability, hold the funds in the Distribution Account uninvested.

                  (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trust Administrator may and, subject to Section 9.01
and Section 9.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates
representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of
Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.

                  SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
                                Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

                  (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for
any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as
is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the
related hazard insurance policy and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.24, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake
or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require any Mortgagor to obtain such additional insurance. If
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer
will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of
such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national
flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property
is located is participating in such program).

<PAGE>

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

                  (b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond
in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors
and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator. Upon request of the Trustee or its designee, the Servicer shall
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its designee a certified true copy of
such Fidelity Bond or a certificate evidencing the same. The Servicer shall also
cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

                  SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                Agreements.

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has actual knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or
the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its
sole business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of
the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted

                                       80

<PAGE>

by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is
also 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards
and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans
owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and 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.

                  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 Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with
the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as
contemplated in Section 3.11(a) and Section 3.24. The foregoing is subject to
the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have
suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to
expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Servicer has

                                       81

<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  For the purposes of this Section 3.16(b), actual notice and
actual knowledge of the Servicer means notice to the Servicer in the manner
provided in Article XII or actual knowledge of an officer of the Servicer
involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of Mortgage
Loans. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge imputable by
virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information relating to
environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 5.04(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or

                                       82

<PAGE>

remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) [Reserved]

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall (or, if it does not,
the Master Servicer may) deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian, in written
(with two executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the
effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer
(or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature
on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to
it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release and send by overnight mail, within
three Business Days, at the expense of the Servicer, the related Mortgage File
to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall cause the
Custodian, upon any request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to
the Trustee and the Custodian, in written (with two executed copies) or
electronic format, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto
signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer),
to release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer within three Business Days,
and the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, execute such
documents

                                       83

<PAGE>

as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been
deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to
the Trustee and the Custodian an additional Request for Release certifying as to
such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee or
the Custodian, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee or the
Custodian, as the case may be, of the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, in written (with two
executed copies) or electronic format, from a Servicing Officer stating that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, the related Mortgage File shall be released by the
Trustee to the Servicer or its designee within three Business Days.

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

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.25. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.24. 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; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the
Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges)

                                       84

<PAGE>

shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are
received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to
Section 3.24(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing
compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to
Section 3.12 and Section 3.25. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent
such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer and
servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

                  SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee and the Trust
                                Administrator; Collection Account Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward, upon request, to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor the most current available bank statement
for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the
Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request
at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by
the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

                  SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor not later than the 15th day
of March following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer (which, as of the
Closing Date, ends on the last day of December), commencing in 2005, an
Officers' Certificate (upon which the Master Servicer can conclusively rely in
connection with its obligations under Section 5.06) in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit P-1 stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 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 of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust
Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the
expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the
Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

                  SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                   Not later than the 15th day of March following the end of
each fiscal year of the Servicer (which, as of the Startup Day, ends on the last
day of December), commencing in 2005, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause
a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to
furnish to the Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of
representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer
which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the

                                       85

<PAGE>

Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of
residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and
(ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such
exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its
report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of
residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of
independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations
conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of
such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of
such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

                  SECTION 3.22. Annual Certification.

                  (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, on or
before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2005 (or, if any such day
is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) or such
alternative date reasonably specified by the Master Servicer which shall occur
not earlier than 15 days prior to the date any Form 10-K is required to be filed
with the Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1. Such
certification shall be signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of
the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall provide such other information
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the servicing and administration thereof
within the control of the Servicer which shall be required to enable the Master
Servicer to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof.

                  (b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and their respective officers, directors,
agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its
officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section
3.22 or the Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or resignation of the
parties hereto or the termination of this Agreement. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor, then the Servicer agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Trustee and
the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection
with a breach of the Servicer's obligations under this Section 3.22.

                  SECTION 3.23. Access to Certain Documentation.

                                       86

<PAGE>

                  (a) The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and to any Person identified to the
Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at
the expense of the Person requesting such access.

                  SECTION 3.24. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the
third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of
such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the
REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will
not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any of the REMICs
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such
REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any of the REMICs
created hereunder of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure
property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

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

                  (c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any
and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the
manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
(subject

                                       87

<PAGE>

to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.24(a))as the
Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues received by
it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary
for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property
including, without limitation:

                  (i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
         REO Property;

                  (ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
         REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

                  (iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
         Property.

                  To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall:

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

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

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such
action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any

                                       88

<PAGE>

time that it is held by the REMIC, in which case the Servicer may take such
actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

                  (3) none of the provisions of this Section 3.24(c) relating to
         any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties
         and obligations to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of
         the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of
         any such REO Property; and

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

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.24(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by
it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with Section 5.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the
prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.24(c) or
this Section 3.24(d).

<PAGE>

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.24(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 5.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale
for other consideration).

                  (g) The Servicer shall file information returns (and shall
provide a certification of a Servicing Officer to the Master Servicer that such
filings have been made) with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest
received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any
Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code,
respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the
reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.

                  SECTION 3.25. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  Not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B) the
aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Due Period. The Servicer shall
not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trust
Administrator in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted
shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next
Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating
Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 3.26. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.27. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.27 shall not limit the
ability of the Servicer to seek

                                       90

<PAGE>

recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.28. Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone or
mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of
refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may solicit any
Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of
mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or
verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan,
another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the mortgagor or the
mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates which
(i) concern optional insurance products or other additional products or (ii) are
directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass
mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio,
telephone and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under
this Section 3.28, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited
requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor.
Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its monthly
statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the availability of
the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing mortgage loans.

                  SECTION 3.29. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled,
"Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as agent for
HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Fremont Home Loan
Trust 2004-B, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004-B." The amount on deposit
in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will consist of any payments
received by the Trust Administrator under the Cap Contract and amounts described
under Section 5.01(d)(xx) and deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account.

                  On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class C
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 5.01(d)(xx), rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the
benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set
forth in Section 5.01(d).

                  On the Distribution Date after the Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates are paid in full, any amounts remaining in the Net
WAC Rate Reserve Account after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine

                                       91

<PAGE>

Certificates for such Distribution Date (representing payments received by the
Trust Administrator under the Cap Contract), shall be payable to the Trust
Administrator.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Trust
Administrator will be deemed to be the owner of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account (other than amounts received under the Cap Contract) shall be treated as
amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. The
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an "outside reserve fund" within
the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of
the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account will be released by the Trust Administrator and distributed to
the Trust Administrator or its designee. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to
the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest"
in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 5.01(d)(xx) on each
Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a
Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

                  The Trust Administrator shall hold all funds on deposit in the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account uninvested.

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

                  SECTION 3.30. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.31. Servicer Indemnification.

                  Without limiting the indemnification obligations of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 9.05 (b), the Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator, from, and hold the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)
incurred by any such Person by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
or by reason of the Servicer's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge
of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Master

                                       92

<PAGE>

Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer
to any such Person shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement
from the Trust Fund therefor.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                       ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING
                  OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER

                  SECTION 4.01. Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with
Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and
evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer
by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the
Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and
separately monitor the Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each
related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such
information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate
corrective adjustments to the Servicer's and Master Servicer's records. The
Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with
the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Distribution Account pursuant to
the terms hereof based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the
Trust Administrator pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 9.01.

                  The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer
with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to
it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the
Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person's use or
misuse of any such power of attorney.

                  The Trustee shall provide access and shall cause the Custodian
to provide access and the Trust Administrator shall provide access, in each case
to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodian or
the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, regarding the related Mortgage
Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the
FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being
afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business
hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Trust Administrator;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee,
the Custodian or the Trust Administrator shall be required to provide access to
such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal
right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of
the above entities and shall cause the Custodian to allow representatives of the
above entities and the Trust Administrator shall allow representatives of the
above entities, in each case to photocopy any of the records and documentation

                                       94

<PAGE>

and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the
Trustee's, the Custodian's or the Trust Administrator's, as the case may be,
actual costs.

                  The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer upon
written request any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale with
respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan
Document; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv)
enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or any other
Mortgage Loan Document or otherwise available at law or equity.

                  SECTION 4.02. REMIC-Related Covenants.

                  For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as a
REMIC, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall comply with any
directions of the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing
treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of
all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an
Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared
at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a
substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of
this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the
Startup Day without receipt of a Opinion of Counsel stating that such
contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section
10.01(f).

                  SECTION 4.03. Monitoring of Servicer.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by the Servicer with its duties under this Agreement. In the
review of the Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an
Officer's Certificate of the Servicer with regard to the Servicer's compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its
judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof
with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute
a Servicer Event of Termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Servicer
and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take
such other action as it deems appropriate.

                  (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its
obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the preceding
paragraph and Article VIII, cause the Trustee to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of
Article VIII. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in
such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master

                                       95

<PAGE>

Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to
the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for
its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

                  (c)      The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
                           reimbursed by the Servicer (or from amounts on
                           deposit in the Distribution Account if the Servicer
                           is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for
                           all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs
                           associated with the transfer of servicing from the
                           predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer
                           is the Master Servicer, from the Servicer immediately
                           preceding the Master Servicer), including without
                           limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third
                           party costs or expenses associated with the complete
                           transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
                           correction or manipulation of such servicing data as
                           may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any
                           errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
                           otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service
                           the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon
                           presentation of reasonable documentation of such
                           costs and expenses.

                  (d)      The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to
                           comply with the remittance requirements and other
                           obligations set forth in this Agreement.

                  (e)      If the Master Servicer acts as successor Servicer, it
                           will not assume liability for the representations and
                           warranties of the terminated Servicer.

                  (f)      The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts
                           or omissions of the Servicer.

                  SECTION 4.04. Fidelity Bond.

                  The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons
acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.

                  SECTION 4.05. Power to Act; Procedures.

                  The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article IX, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under Section 4.03, shall not permit the Servicer to) knowingly

                                       96

<PAGE>

or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an
Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not would cause any REMIC created hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC
created hereunder. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written
request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the
Master Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to
foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal,
prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the
Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer or the Servicer
may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or
the Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as
applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in
connection with such Person's use or misuse of any such power of attorney). If
the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the

Class P Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof.

                  (g) The Trust Administrator shall make distributions in
respect of a Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the
related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 11.01 respecting the
final distribution), by check or money order mailed to such Certificateholder at
the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or by wire transfer.
Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in proportion to the
Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such
Certificateholders.

                  (h) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such
distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with
its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for
disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to
each indirect participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect
participating firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be
responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.
All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are
to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with
the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

                  (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date,
following all distributions on the Certificates pursuant to Section 5.01, an
amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 and included in the Available Funds
for such Distribution Date will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent
of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.07. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 5.07, and so on. Holders of such Certificates
will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.

                  (j) All distributions to be made by the Trust Administrator
pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the availability of funds
therefor in the Distribution Account, or the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, as applicable, on the applicable Distribution Date.

shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order
to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above
parties and the Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate
notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to
access to the Trust Administrator's internet website, the Trust Administrator
may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer.

                  The Trust Administrator will not be liable for the
dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. The Trust
Administrator shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible for
the content or accuracy of any information provided by third parties for
purposes of preparing the Distribution Date statement and may affix thereto any
disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting

                  In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses

the report as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar

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

                  (c) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall

thereof during which

                                       111

<PAGE>

substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to

                  SECTION 5.04. Remittance Reports; Advances.

                  (a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator by telecopy or electronic mail
(or by such other means as the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to
the related Distribution Date in form and substance acceptable to the Master
Servicer with such additions, deletions and modifications as agreed to by the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer. Not later than each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trust Administrator in addition to the information provided on the Remittance
Report, such other information reasonably available to it with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator may reasonably
require so as to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans
and oversee the servicing by the Servicer and the Trust Administrator to perform
the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section
5.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
5.03. Neither the Trust Administrator nor, subject to Section 4.01, the Master
Servicer shall be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any
information provided to it by the Servicer.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 5.04(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due
during the related Due Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly
Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on
the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which
REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Due Period and as to
which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Due
Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on
such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net
income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 3.24 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a
delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would
have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

                  On or before 2:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its
own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04, used by the
Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any
amounts held for future distribution used by the Servicer to make

                                       112

<PAGE>

an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be appropriately
reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in
the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the
extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined
without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be
less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01 on such Distribution Date if such
amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The
Trust Administrator will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the Close
of Business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator on such date is less than
the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution
Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

                  (c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have
been recovered, or a Final Recovery Determination has been made thereon.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator.
                  (e) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Article VIII, in the event the Servicer fails to make any such P&I Advance, then
the Master Servicer (in its capacity as successor Servicer) or any other
successor Servicer shall be required to make such P&I Advance on the
Distribution Date on which the Servicer was required to make such Advance,
subject to its determination of recoverability.

Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to

Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31st of each year thereafter, the
Master Servicer, in its capacity as master servicer hereunder, shall execute and
file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to

of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trust
Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power of
attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to
promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer, from time
to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements
within its control related to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans as the Trust
Administrator or the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and
file all necessary reports with the Commission. Neither the Trust Administrator
nor the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility to file any items other
than those specified in this Section 5.06; provided, however, the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in
connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the
Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"). Fees and expenses incurred by the Trust Administrator or
the Master Servicer in connection with this Section 5.06 shall not be
reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 5.07. Distributions on the REMIC Regular Interests.

                  (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall

         (i) first, to the extent of Available Funds, to Holders of REMIC 1
Regular Interest LTAA, Regular Interest LT1A1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT2A1,
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT2A2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT2A3, REMIC 1 Regular

remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as
Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ

less than the REMIC 1 Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x)
the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued
Interest Deferral Amount; and

                  (ii) second, to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests, in
an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such Distribution
Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as

                           (a) to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTAA
                  and REMIC Regular Interest LTP, 98.00% of such remainder,
                  until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such
                  Uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
                  provided, however, that REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP shall not
                  be reduced until the Distribution Date immediately following
                  the expiration of the latest Prepayment

                  Distribution Date thereafter, at which point such amount shall
                  be distributed to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP, until $100 has
                  been distributed pursuant to this clause;

                           (b) to the Holders of Regular Interest LT1A1, REMIC 1
                  Regular Interest LT2A1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT2A2, REMIC
                  1 Regular Interest LT2A3, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC

                  1 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTM7 and
                  REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTM9,
                  1.00% of such remainder, in the same proportion as principal
                  payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates,
                  until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC 1
                  Regular Interests are reduced to zero;

                           (c) to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ,
                  1.00% of such remainder, until the Uncertificated Principal
                  Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
                  and

                           (d) any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class
                  R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest);

provided, however, that (i) 98.00% and (ii) 2.00% of any principal payments that
are attributable to an Overcollateralization Release Amount shall be allocated
to Holders of (i) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTAA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest
LTP, in that order and (ii) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ, respectively;
provided that REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the
Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment
Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1P, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.

                  (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any
Regular Certificate shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each
Distribution Date as follows: first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to
the Class C Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the
Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate

after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All
references above to the Certificate

                                       115

<PAGE>

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

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to
a Class C Certificates shall be made first by reducing the amount otherwise
payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(xiv). No allocations of
any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

                  (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed
to have been allocated in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTAA and
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 1
Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.

                  Each of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates,
the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates
shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on
original issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator to or upon the order of the Depositor concurrently with the
sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. The Class A Certificates
and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more
Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar
denomination of $50,000 and integral dollar multiples of $1.00 in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate of each such Class of Certificates may be
in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all
outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class P Certificates, the Class C
Certificates and the Residual Certificates are issuable in any Percentage
Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all such percentages for each such
Class totals 100% and no more than ten Certificates of each Class may be issued
and outstanding at any one time.

                  The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator substantially
in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated
the date of their authentication. Subject to Section 6.02(c), the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be Book- Entry Certificates.
The other Classes of Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.

                  SECTION 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
                                Certificates.

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

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such
purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator for certificate

                                       117

<PAGE>

transfer and surrender purposes, and, in the case of a Residual Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trust Administrator on
behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall execute
on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Certificate Registrar)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing. In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder
thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate
for two separate certificates, each representing such holder's respective
Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2 Interest that
was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

                  (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator except to another
Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect
to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such
Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates
on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established
by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as
representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and
directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi)
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii)
the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this
Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf
by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and either the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's agents,
employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for
all purposes whatsoever.

                  All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto
are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository
or take such other action as may be

                                       118

<PAGE>

necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of
Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

                  (c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the
Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able
to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trust
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii)
the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Trust Administrator,
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes
aggregating not less than 51% advise the Trust Administrator and Depository
through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the
exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates") to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trust Administrator
shall, at the Depositor's expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Servicer's
expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar,
the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of
the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

                  (d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made
unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the
event of any such transfer, except with respect to the initial transfer of any
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the
Depositor (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as
evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under the
1933 Act, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor shall require a
written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the
1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor or (ii) the Trust Administrator shall require the
transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter
(in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator certifying to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor. The
Holder of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,

                                       119

<PAGE>

indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 6.02(d) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of the 1933 Act.

                  No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject
to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly,
on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such
transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trust Administrator is provided
with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer and on which
they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of the Trust Administrator
that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund.
Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection
with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an
affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate
thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan
or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the
request of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor.

                  Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to
have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 90-59, 55
Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021
(July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE
2002-41 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c)
the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance
company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or
interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.

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

                  Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:

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

                  (ii)     No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a
                           Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest
                           is a PRO RATA undivided interest.

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

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

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

                  (iv)     Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
                           Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of
                           the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
                           null and void and shall vest no rights in the
                           purported transferee. If any purported transferee
                           shall, in violation of the provisions of this
                           Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate,
                           then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate
                           that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery
                           that the registration of transfer of such Residual
                           Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
                           Section, be restored to all rights

                                       121

<PAGE>

as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such
Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such
Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
Trust Administrator received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any
such distributions so recovered by the Trust Administrator shall be distributed
and delivered by the Trust Administrator to the prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

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

                  (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Trust Administrator upon receipt of
reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the
persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed
to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of
residual interests to Disqualified Organizations.

                  The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply
to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the
removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause
such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

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

                                       122

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

                  SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
                                Certificates.

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

                  SECTION 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any
agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including a
Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor any agent of any
of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.

                  (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to
Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and
shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trust Administrator. The
duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making
the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and
provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying
Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator may appoint
a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor.

<PAGE>

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

                  SECTION 7.01. Liability of the Servicer, the Master Servicer
                                and the Depositor.

                  The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by
Servicer herein. The Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only
to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Master Servicer 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 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
                                Obligations of, the Servicer, the Master
                                Servicer or the Depositor.

                  Any entity into which the Servicer, the Master Servicer or
Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer, the Master Servicer
or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business
of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of
the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that any successor to the Servicer or the
Master Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 8.02 or Section
7.06, as applicable, with respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer
or successor Master Servicer, as applicable. In addition, any corporation
succeeding to the servicing-for-third-parties business of the Servicer shall be
the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that (i) any
successor to the Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 8.02
with respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer, (ii) the Trustee
shall have received written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
transfer of servicing by the Servicer and the related appointment of a successor
Servicer would not result in a withdrawal, qualification or a downgrading by
such Rating Agency of the then-outstanding rating on any Class of Certificates
rated by it or of any class of notes issued pursuant to an Indenture and (iii)
the Trustee shall have received the written consent of holders of notes
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of any notes issued pursuant to an Indenture to
such transfer of servicing by the Servicer and the related appointment of a
successor Servicer.

                  SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer, the
                                Master Servicer and Others.

                  None of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor nor
any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust or
the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action by the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect

                                       125

<PAGE>

the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor 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, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of the obligations and duties of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Depositor, as the case may be, 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
Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer or the Master Servicer and
any director or officer or employee or agent of either of them 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, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, and any director or officer or employee or agent of any
of them, 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 Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage 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, the Master Servicer or the Depositor may 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
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor, the Servicer
or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the reasonable legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Trust and each of the Servicer, the Master Servicer
and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right
of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive
any amount in the Collection Account. Each of the Servicer's and the Master
Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer or the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.04, 7.04 or 7.05 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 and Master Servicer solely in their
capacities as Servicer and Master Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

                  SECTION 7.04. Servicer Not to Resign.

                  The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                                       126

<PAGE>

                  Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no
Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto
shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.05. Master Servicer Not to Resign.

                  The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant
to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the
expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.06. Assignment of Master Servicing.

                  The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under
this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept
in writing such assignment and delegation and assume the obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and that the purchaser or transferee (a) be a Person
which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac; (b) have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 (unless otherwise
approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee);
and (d) execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such
Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and
condition to be performed or observed by it after the date of such assumption as
master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the
effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency's rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior
to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a
letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and
(iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall
deliver to the Trustee an officer's certificate and an Opinion of Independent
counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with
the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the
effective date thereof.

                  SECTION 7.07. Delegation of Duties.

                                       127

<PAGE>

                  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. 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 7.04.
Except as provided in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results
in the delegee subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator with 60 days prior
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.

                  SECTION 7.08. Reserved.

                  SECTION 7.09. Inspection.

                  Each of the Servicer and the Master Servicer, in its capacity
as such, shall afford the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, in respect of its rights and
obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer and Master Servicer
responsible for such obligations. Upon request, each of the Servicer and the
Master Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator its
most recent publicly available financial statements and such other information
relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

         obligations under Section 3.20, Section 3.21 or Section 3.22, which
         failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on
         which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
         remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this
         Agreement.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of
Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x)
with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by 11:00
A.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
Remittance Date (provided the Trust Administrator shall give the Servicer notice
of such failure to advance by 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Servicer Remittance
Date), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Master Servicer, or a successor
servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.02, shall immediately make such
Advance and assume, pursuant to Section 8.02, the duties of a successor
Servicer, (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer or the Holders of each
Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 51%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator if given by Holders of
Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as
servicer under this Agreement and (z) in the case of (vii) above, the Trust
Administrator shall, not later than 15 days after the Distribution Date on which
such Servicer Termination Event occurred, notify the Certificateholders of the
existence of such Servicer Event of Termination such notice shall state that
Certificateholders may waive such Servicer Event of Termination by written
notice to the Trust Administrator not later than 75 days after the Distribution
Date on which such Servicer Termination Event occurred, and if the Majority
Certificateholders shall not have so waived such Servicer Event of Termination,
then the Trust Administrator shall direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall,
by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, 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 Trust Administrator,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer
(and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section; and,
without limitation, the Master Servicer 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
Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Master Servicer (or the applicable successor Servicer) in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Master Servicer
within ten

                                       130

Business Days subsequent to such notice of all documents and records requested
by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions under this Agreement, the
transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Master
Servicer (or the applicable successor Servicer) 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 the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO
Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. 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 and
all other applicable Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the Trust.

                  (b) If any one of the following events ("Master Servicer
Events of Termination") shall occur and be continuing:

                           (i) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer
         duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the
         covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in
         this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any
         representation and warranty contained in Section 2.04, which continues
         unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to
         the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
         Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                           (ii) a decree or order of a court or agency or
         supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an
         involuntary case under any present or future federal or state
         bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding,
         or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
         entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have
         remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

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

then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and
at the written direction of the Holders

                                       131

<PAGE>

of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the
Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating
Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by
law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement after the date of such Termination, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Master Servicer, 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 or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than
ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue
to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this
Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03, notwithstanding any such termination,
with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of
this Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a
Master Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a
Master Servicer Event of Termination is received by the Trustee and such notice
references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event
of Termination of which it has knowledge as provided above.

                  To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee
related to the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor
Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing by the
Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all
due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential
termination of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of the master servicing, including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing
data as may be required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors
or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor
Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement) and any other Servicing Transfer Costs applicable with respect to a
transfer of master servicing are not fully and timely reimbursed by the
terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of
such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

                  SECTION 8.02. Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of
                                Successor.

                                       132

<PAGE>

                  (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer and the Master
Servicer receive a notice of termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.01 or of resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04, the Master
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
arising on and after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
hereto agree that the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer,
immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Advances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor
Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents
that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. As compensation therefor, the
Master Servicer (or such other successor Servicer) 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
Master Servicer is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Master
Servicer is legally unable so to act, the Master Servicer shall appoint or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing
and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan
servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 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 the appointment
of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction
or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies
as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder the Trustee shall act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of
payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the
Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other
compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the
Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor 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 3.14 or to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06), 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 Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and such successor shall take
such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any such succession. All applicable Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by
the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such
costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer (in which case the
successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets
of the Trust).

                  (b) Any successor to the Servicer, including the Master
Servicer, shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a 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 3.14.

                  (c) [Reserved].

                  (d) In connection with the resignation, removal or expiration
of the term of the Servicer hereunder, or in connection with the resignation or
removal of any successor to the Servicer (or any other successor to the Servicer
appointed hereunder) acting as successor Servicer hereunder, either (i) the
successor Servicer, (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed hereunder)
acting as successor Servicer hereunder, shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations and the predecessor
Servicer shall execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other
instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such
Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the
successor Servicer or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee.
The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in
the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and
all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and
costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this
paragraph.

                  SECTION 8.03. Waiver of Defaults.

                  The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer or
Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist and any Servicer Event of Termination or Master Servicer Event of
Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trust
Administrator to the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 8.04. Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII or Section 7.04,
the Trust Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and each Rating Agency.

                  (b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event
which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Servicer Event of Termination or a Master Servicer Event of
Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence

                                       134

<PAGE>

unless such default, Servicer Event of Termination or Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall have been waived or cured.

                  SECTION 8.05. Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Servicer or the Master Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of
the Servicer or the Master Servicer which accrued prior to such termination, and
any rights of the Servicer or the Master Servicer to payment or reimbursement
hereunder that accrued prior to such termination, shall in each case survive
such termination.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                     THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR

                  SECTION 9.01. Duties of Trustee and the Trust Administrator.

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

                  Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt
of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to it which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a
material manner the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and
if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's
satisfaction, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

                  The Trust Administrator agrees to notify the Master Servicer
in writing no later than 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on each Servicer Remittance Date
of the aggregate dollar amount of the funds received by the Trust Administrator
from the Servicer on such Servicer Remittance Date and any other information
reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, so as to enable the Master Servicer
to make the reconciliations and verifications required to be made by it pursuant
to Section 4.01.

<PAGE>

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

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

                  (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
         Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
         applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Trust
         Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent in ascertaining the
         pertinent facts;

                  (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
         to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
         Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of
         conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
         the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or exercising or omitting to
         exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
         Agreement; and

                  (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with
         the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of
         Section 8.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Termination Event
         unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
         as applicable, at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge
         of such failure or the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
         applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Depositor,
         the Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders.

                  Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the
Master Servicer to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,
any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Master Servicer shall be the successor to, and be vested
with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

         auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
         report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
         or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
         signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the manner of
         obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
         thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
         regulations as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may prescribe;

                  (ii) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may consult
         with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete

         Opinion of Counsel;

                  (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
         it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
         hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of
         any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
         Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
         Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security

         negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

                  (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
         good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
         or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                  (v) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
         Termination and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of

         payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust
         Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities
         likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in
         the opinion of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
         not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
         applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
         Agreement, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
         require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as
         a condition to such

         proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
         paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee or the Trust
         Administrator, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand and, if
         not reimbursed by the Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the Trust.
         Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the
         Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
         information regarding the Mortgagors;

                  (vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
         accountable, shall have any liability and makes no representation as to
         any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer;

                  (vii) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may
         execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
         hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys,
         custodians or nominees;

                  (viii) The right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to
         perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
         construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust
         Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or
         willful misconduct in the performance of such act;

                  (ix) The Trust Administrator shall not be personally liable
         for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the
         Collection Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the
         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and

                  (x) Neither the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, nor any

         adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or
         sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments,
         (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted
         Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted
         Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that

                  SECTION 9.03. Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable
                                for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

than the authentication of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on the
Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator (in its role as such) assumes any
responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on the Certificates) or
of any Mortgage Loan or related document or MERS or the MERS System other than
with respect to the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's execution and
authentication of the Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator (in its role as such) shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer or the Master Servicer, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in its
role as such) in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited

responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this
Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard
insurance thereon; the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the
Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan;
the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan; the compliance by the
Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer with any warranty
or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the
accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's or the
Trust Administrator receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance
therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction
of the Servicer or Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being
understood that the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer, the Master Servicer
or any Sub- Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator; the failure of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it hereunder; or any
action by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator taken at the instruction of the
Servicer or the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
relieve the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of its obligation to perform its
duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee's duty
to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. Neither the Trustee nor
the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) shall have any responsibility

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

                  SECTION 9.05. Trustee's and Trust Administrator's Fees and
                                Expenses.

                  (a) The Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the
Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trust
Administration Fee with respect to the calendar month that immediately preceded
the month of such Distribution Date. As additional compensation for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trust Administrator
hereunder, the Trust Administrator shall be permitted to retain the income,
payable to the Trust Administrator from time to time, from investment of or
earnings on the funds from time to time in the Distribution Account, as provided
in Section 3.12. The annual fees of the Trustee hereunder and of the Custodian

of the Trust Administrator. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian
or any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them, shall be indemnified
by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the
Trustee's, the Custodian's on its behalf or the Trust Administrator's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee, by the Custodian on its behalf or by the Trust Administrator arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the obligations
and duties of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under this Agreement, other
than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the
Servicer's or the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement
for which the Trustee, the Custodian or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
is indemnified under Section 9.05(b) or Section 9.05(c) or (ii) any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence of the Trustee, of the Custodian on its behalf or of the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its duties hereunder or by
reason of the Trustee's, the Custodian's on its behalf or the Trust
Administrator's , as applicable, reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee's or the Trust
Administrator's, as applicable, obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts
payable to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Trust Administrator or any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Trust
Administrator, in respect of the indemnification provided by this Section
9.05(a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund
that the Trustee, the Custodian, the Trust Administrator or any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Trust
Administrator, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by
the Trust Administrator from the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense resulting from a breach of the Servicer's obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Servicer for actions prior to such resignation or removal.
Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from
the Trust Fund therefor.

                  (c) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator from, and hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer's
obligations and duties under this Agreement, to the extent the Master Servicer
is not excluded from such liability pursuant to Section 7.03. Such indemnity
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer for
actions prior to such resignation or removal. Any payment hereunder made by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be from the
Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

                  SECTION 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Trust
                                Administrator.

<PAGE>

                  Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder
shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.06, the combined
capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The principal offices of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (other
than the initial Trustee and initial Trust Administrator) shall be in a state
with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee
or Trust Administrator, as applicable, at the time such Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is appointed Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable, to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the
laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9.06, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07.

                  SECTION 9.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee or Trust
                                Administrator.

                  The Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign
and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency
and, if the Trustee is resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust
Administrator is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, (which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator. If no successor Trustee or Trust Administrator,
as applicable, shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee or Trust Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable.

                  If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case
of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable. If the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed and one copy
to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.

                                       141

<PAGE>

                  The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator by written instrument or instruments
delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and, if the Trustee is resigning, to
the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the
Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator in accordance with this Section 9.07.

                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 9.08.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall at all times be the same
Person, so long as a master servicer continues to be required hereunder.

                  SECTION 9.08. Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.

                  Any successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall become
effective, and such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as Trustee or Trust Administrator. The Depositor, the
Servicer and the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee Trust
Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 9.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 9.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular
Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator as provided in this Section 9.08, the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.

                  SECTION 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
                                Administrator.

                  Any entity into which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator hereunder, as applicable, provided such
entity shall be eligible

                                       142

under the provisions of Section 9.06 and 9.08, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  SECTION 9.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be
located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject
to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06, and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 9.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the
fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

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

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

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

                  (iii) the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any
         time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
         co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
         Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or
         remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

                                       143

<PAGE>

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

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

                  SECTION 9.11. Limitation of Liability.

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

                  SECTION 9.12. Trustee or Trust Administrator May Enforce
                                Claims Without Possession of Certificates.

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

                  (b) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall afford the
Originator, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon
reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, access to all records
maintained by the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in respect of its duties
hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator shall furnish the Depositor, the Servicer and any
requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Originator,
the

                                       144

<PAGE>

Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to
the Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for
review and copying such books, documents or records as may be requested with
respect to the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's duties hereunder. The
Originator, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator and are not obligated to supervise the
performance of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under this Agreement or
otherwise.

                  SECTION 9.13. Suits for Enforcement.

                  In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by
the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the
Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, or the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator may, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 9.14. Waiver of Bond Requirement.

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

                  SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
                                Requirement.

                  The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be relieved of,
and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in
which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust

                  SECTION 9.16. Letter of Representations.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee hereby authorize the Trust
Administrator to execute the Letter of Representations to the Depository, in its
capacity as Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as

Trustee.

                              REMIC ADMINISTRATION

                  SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.

                  (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement
shall be made by the Trust Administrator on Form 1066 or other appropriate
federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of
the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests
and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary
Statement.

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

                  (c) The Trust Administrator shall pay any and all expenses
relating to any tax audit of any REMIC (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to
any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses
incurred pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) to the extent provided in Section
9.05.

                  (d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare, sign and file, all
of the REMICs' federal and state tax and information returns (including Form
8811) as the direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator.

                  (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding
the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as
defined in the REMIC Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect
to REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1 and REMIC
2. The Trust Administrator, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform
on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are
the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trust Administrator, as agent for the
Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental
authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or
organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as
are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trust Administrator, as agent
for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of
any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency,
extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and
otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the
Trust.

<PAGE>

                  (f) The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer, the
Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause
the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each
REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as
necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual
Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger
the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions
set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC
Event") unless the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Master
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition,
prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the
assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual
Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer and the Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any
REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur.

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

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

                  (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any
REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with
respect to eligible substitute mortgage loans.

                  (j) Neither the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer
nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC
created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

<PAGE>

                  (k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in
2005, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and
each Rating Agency an Officers' Certificate stating the Servicer's compliance
with the provisions of this Section 10.01.

                  (l) The Trust Administrator will apply for an Employee
Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other
acceptable method for all tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.

                  SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for
any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the
termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this
Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a
repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor
acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to either REMIC
after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such
disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the
interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests
therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the
Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited
transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes
                                 and Loss of REMIC Status.

                  (a) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC,
loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result
of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for
any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such
Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not
be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such
Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a
negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

                  (b) In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC,
loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result
of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any
and all Losses resulting from its own negligence; provided, however, that
neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any such
Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or
the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that
is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in
addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 11.01. Termination.

                  (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator created hereby
(other than the obligation of the Trust Administrator to make certain payments
to Certificateholders 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 Trustee and the Trust Administrator upon the earliest of (i)
the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular
Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the
Distribution Date in August 2033. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof.

                  The Servicer (in such capacity, the "Terminator"), may, at its
option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate of the
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled
payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received
or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the
related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the
aggregate Principal Balances of the Original Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date,
by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) the
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled
payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received
or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the
related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and
(ii) fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined
and as agreed upon as of the close of business on the third Business Day next
preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the
related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 11.01(c) by (x) the Terminator
and (y) if the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will
not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee,
provided that if this clause (y) applies to such determination, such
determination shall be based solely upon an appraisal obtained as provided in
the last sentence of this paragraph), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period
preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties and any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts (the
"Termination Price"); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if
the Termination Price is sufficient to result in the payment of all interest
accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of,
each class of notes issued pursuant to an Indenture. If the determination of the
fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to
be made and agreed upon by the Terminator and the Trustee as provided in above,
such determination shall be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed
upon

                                       150

<PAGE>

by the Terminator and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such
appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

                  In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Terminator shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account, 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 Determination Date before such Distribution Date of
the Termination Price.

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

                  (c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trust Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the
Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion
to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that
funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to
be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01
for such Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the
Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination
hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the
Mortgage Loans, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to
pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

                  (d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before
such final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall promptly following
such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final
distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the
remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate Servicing
Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the
Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trust
Administrator (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the
remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months
after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the Trust Administrator
upon

                                       151

<PAGE>

transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds,
and the Certificateholders shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for
payment.

                  SECTION 11.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator exercises its purchase
         option as provided in Section 11.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in
         accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
         Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have been furnished with an
         Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to
         comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the
         imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as
         defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC
         constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
         any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

                  (i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the
         Terminator shall adopt and the Trust Administrator shall sign a plan of
         complete liquidation of each REMIC created hereunder meeting the
         requirements of a "Qualified Liquidation" under Section 860F of the
         Code and any regulations thereunder; and

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

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

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 12.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator; and without the consent of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any
ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein (iii) to amend the
provisions of Section 5.06 or (iv) to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such action
shall not (as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from the party seeking such
amendment containing evidence that such action will not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates by any
Rating Agency) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented
thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel or evidence of Rating Agency approval shall
be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting
Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel
nor written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator from the Rating Agencies will be required in connection with an
amendment to the provisions of Section 5.06.

                  In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders 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 Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver
shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
on the Certificates or distributions which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from the party seeking such
amendment containing evidence that such action will not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates by any
Rating Agency) in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without
the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a
66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting
Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a
copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.

                  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment,
to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not result in
the

                                       153

<PAGE>

imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the
Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder
constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in
accordance with the terms hereof.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer
and each Rating Agency.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may prescribe.

                  Each of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 12.01
that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.

                  SECTION 12.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is
subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property
records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or
all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  SECTION 12.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

                  Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the

                                       154

<PAGE>

obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or
contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the
Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association;
nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default

made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses

priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under

                  (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by the Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more

effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (and the

not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor; or there

designated as Fremont Home Loan Trust 2004-B, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series

beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator is
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to
any liability under the Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trust and the Trust Administrator.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution

to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be

belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the

amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of

or agencies of the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust

or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of
the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Servicer may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at
a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to
zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in
the Trust, (iii) the Distribution Date in May 2034.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as
set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class P
Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal
Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class P
Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not
guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.

         This certifies that Fremont Investment & Loan is the registered owner

dividing the Denomination of this Class P Certificate by the Original Class
Certificate Principal Balance) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust

Administrator") and HSBC Bank, USA (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Class P Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Class P Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such Holder is bound.

         This Certificate does not have a pass-through rate and will be entitled
to distributions only to the extent set forth in the Agreement.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is
not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor; or there
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor a
transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be
executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator

                 FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor

         This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in,
and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator referred to below or any of their respective
affiliates.

         This certifies that Fremont Investment & Loan is the registered owner
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in the
interest represented by all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs in a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by
Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created

"Agreement") among the Depositor, Fremont Investment & Loan as servicer (in such
capacity, the "Servicer"), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such
capacity, the "Master Servicer") and trust administrator (in such capacity, the
"Trust Administrator") and HSBC Bank, USA (the "Trustee"). To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.

         This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate
and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall
each certify to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is
not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor; or there
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor a
transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be
executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator

                                     A-16-2

and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

         No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 6.02(d) of the Agreement.

         Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in
this Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Trust and the Trust
Administrator of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b) a
transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the form
described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate must agree to require a transfer affidavit and to
deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator as
required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an
Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership
Interest in this Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed
transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the
purported transferee. Pursuant to the Agreement, The Trust Administrator will
provide the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the
information needed to compute the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on
transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations, if any person
other than a Permitted Transferee acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions mentioned above.

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

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

designated as Fremont Home Loan Trust 2004-B, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2004-B (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator is
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to
any liability under the Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trust and the Trust Administrator.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the
Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trust or the Trust Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and of Holders of the requisite percentage
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such
amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate

of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust offices
or agencies of the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof
or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of
the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, the Servicer may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at
a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to
zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in
the Trust, (iii) the Distribution Date in May 2034.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Seller's obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.

recorded. The Seller shall be required to deliver such assignments for recording
within 180 days of the Closing Date. The Seller shall furnish the Trustee, or
the Custodian, with a copy of each Assignment submitted for recording. In the
event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a

thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage

issuance (which jurisdictions, as of such time of their initial issuance, are
Maryland and Florida); provided, however, each Assignment, except with respect
to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage, shall be

         Section 3.04 [Reserved].

                  Section 3.05 REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans
to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With
respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to
the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller or as to which the Seller has
no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser
or

                                        8

<PAGE>

the Purchaser's assignee, designee or transferee (it being understood that with
respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (qq), (tt), (eee),
(fff), (ggg), (lll) and (dddd) of Exhibit A hereto, a breach of any such
representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
assignees, designees and transferees), then notwithstanding the Seller's lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty
being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and
warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following
paragraphs of this Section 3.05 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery
by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the value
of a Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser (it being understood
that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (qq), (tt),
(eee), (fff), (ggg), (lll) and (dddd) of Exhibit A hereto, a breach of any such
representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
assignees, designees and transferees), the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the others.

                  Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller
that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the
Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser (it being understood
that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in (qq), (tt),
(eee), (fff), (ggg), (lll) and (dddd) of Exhibit A hereto, a breach of any such
representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially
adversely affect the interest therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
assignees, designees and transferees), the Seller shall use its best efforts
promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot
be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming the Seller has a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a deficient Mortgage
Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If the Seller does not provide a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient
Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.05 shall occur on a date designated by the
Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required
by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of
the representation (aaa) of the Seller on Exhibit A, which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in
any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the scheduled
Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates,
by remitting such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Servicer or the Master
Servicer or paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

                  At the time of substitution or repurchase of any deficient
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment
of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the Seller of any documents held by the Trustee or

                                        9

<PAGE>

the Custodian relating to the deficient or repurchased Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or Substitution Adjustment for any Mortgage
Loan repurchased or substituted hereunder, give written notice to the Purchaser
that such payment has taken place. Upon such repurchase or substitution, the
Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the
repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and, if applicable, the
substitution of the applicable Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall
effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment and such other documents and agreements as are required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required
therein. The Seller shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account the
Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the
month following the date of such substitution. Monthly payments due with respect
to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be
retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in
the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller
shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and
warranties set forth in Subsections 3.01 and 3.02.

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

                  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller
set forth in this Section 3.05 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a
defective Mortgage Loan and the obligations of the Seller to indemnify the
Purchaser and the Underwriters as provided in Section 5.01 constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or a breach
of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 or 3.02.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                               SELLER'S COVENANTS

         Section 4.01 COVENANTS OF THE SELLER. The Seller hereby covenants that
except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or
transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the Seller will notify
the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, and the Trust Administrator of the
existence of any Lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof,
and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Trustee, as
assignee of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against all
claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the
Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for
municipal or other local taxes and

                                       10

<PAGE>

other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at
the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the
validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set
aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE V.

subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, but not limited

therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

                           (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Purchaser and the Underwriters; and

                           (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Purchaser or the
Underwriters, as the case may be), reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or
either Underwriter in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the
extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above.

                  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Seller may otherwise have.

                  (b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Seller, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the
Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, as follows:

                           (i) against any and all losses, claims, expenses,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller or such officers,
directors or controlling persons may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, expense, damage
or liability related to purchases and sales of the Certificates) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in Underwriter Information or in the Prospectus Supplement, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading,
but in the case of the Prospectus Supplement, only to the extent that any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission therein
results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an error or material omission in
the information under the heading "Yield, Prepayment and Maturity
Considerations-- Weighted Average Lives", and in each case, except to the extent
that any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission therein results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an error or
material omission in (A) the Fremont Prospectus Supplement Information or (B)
any Derived Information to the extent that such error or material omission in
any such Derived Information results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an
error or material omission in the Seller Provided Information (as defined
below), which error, in the case of either (A) above or (B) above, was not
superseded or corrected by the delivery to the Purchaser or the Underwriters, as
the case may be, of corrected written or electronic information, or for which
the Seller provided written notice of such error to the Purchaser or the
Underwriters, as the case may be, prior to the confirmation of the

                                       12

sale of the Certificates; and will reimburse the Seller and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Seller or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;

                           (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Seller;
and

                           (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Seller),
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the
extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above.

                  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Purchaser may otherwise have.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement:

         "Derived Information" means the information in the Underwriter
Information or in the Prospectus Supplement that has been derived by the
Purchaser or its Affiliates from Seller Provided Information;

         "Seller Provided Information" means any computer tape (or other
information) concerning characteristics of the Mortgage Loans furnished to the
Purchaser or to any of the Purchaser's Affiliates by or on behalf of the Seller
in connection with the purchase by the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans from the
Seller;

         "Underwriter Information" means such information, if any, in the Series
Term Sheets, Collateral Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets and/or Computational
Materials that is not contained (i) in the Prospectus or any or amendment or
supplement thereto or (ii) in the Seller Provided Information.

         "Series Term Sheets", "Collateral Term Sheets" and "Structural Term
Sheets" shall have the respective meanings assigned to them (a) in the case of
Series Term Sheets, in the no-action letter addressed to Greenwood Trust
Company, Discover Card Master Trust I dated April 5, 1996 and (b) in the case of
Collateral Term Sheets and Structural Term Sheets, in the February 13, 1995
letter of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton on behalf of the Public Securities
Association (which letter, and the SEC staff's response thereto, are publicly
available February 17, 1995); the term "Collateral Term Sheet" as used herein
includes any subsequent Collateral Term Sheet that reflects a substantive change
in the information presented;

                                       13

<PAGE>

         "Computational Materials" has the meaning assigned to it in the
no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Commission to Kidder, Peabody Acceptance Corporation I. Kidder,
Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and Kidder Structured Asset Corporation, the
no-action letter dated May 27, 1994 issued by the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association and the no-action
letter of February 17, 1995 issued by the Commission to the Public Securities
Association;

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

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

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

                  Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreement contained in Section 5.01(a) hereof or Section 5.01(b) hereof, as
applicable, shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party
in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent (which consent

                                       14

<PAGE>

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

                  (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for Section 5.01(a)
above is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, the
Seller shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages
and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by
such indemnified party in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand (from the sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser) and the Purchaser and the Underwriters on the
other (from the underwriting fees and discounts received by the Underwriters);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each officer and director of
the Purchaser, the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser or either Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser or
the related Underwriter.

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

                                       15

<PAGE>

         This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Seller may otherwise have.

         (g) Solely for purposes of this Section 5.01, the Underwriters shall be
deemed third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                                   TERMINATION

         Section 6.01 TERMINATION. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate
(except for (i) the Seller's indemnity obligations as provided herein and (ii)
the representations and warranties made by the Seller hereunder and the Seller's
obligations to remedy breaches thereof to the extent set forth herein) upon the
termination of the Trust as provided in Article X of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

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

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

         Section 7.03 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally
delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows: (i) if to the Seller, Fremont Investment & Loan, 175 North Riverview
Drive, Anaheim, California 92808, Attention: Steve Patton, or such other address
as may hereafter be furnished by the Seller and (ii) if to the Purchaser,
Financial Asset Securities Corp., 600 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut
06830, Attention: Legal, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by
the Purchaser.

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

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

                                       16

<PAGE>

         Section 7.06 FURTHER AGREEMENTS. The Seller and the Purchaser each
agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments
or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and appropriate to effectuate
the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with the issuance of any series
of Certificates representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.

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

         Section 7.07 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. It is the intention of the
parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans and not pledging the Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the
Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for federal income tax purposes and all other purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related
Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will
affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the
Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the
course of such review.

         Section 7.08 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller, the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.

         The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned
or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent
shall be at the Purchaser's sole discretion, except that the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to
any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that
the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing
them to a trust that will issue a series of Certificates representing undivided
interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase
the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by
the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser's rights against the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans and
other assets transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of
any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee
or any party acting on behalf of the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or
remedy by the Trustee or such other party shall have the same force and effect
as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser
directly. As an inducement to the Seller to sell the Mortgage Loans, the
Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Seller and its accountants by
agreeing to such provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and in the
Cap Contract (to the extent such provisions are commercially reasonable and to
the extent such provisions do not cause the

                                       17

<PAGE>

Prospectus Supplement, absent an amendment or supplement thereto, to contain an
untrue statement of any material fact or an omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading) as may be reasonably required by such accountants as a
condition to such accountants' concluding that the aforementioned trust, if
beneficial interests therein are to be retained by the Seller or its Affiliates,
would be as of the Closing Date a "qualified special purpose entity" within the
meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 140.

         Section 7.09 OBLIGATIONS OF GREENWICH CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Greenwich
Capital Markets, Inc. agrees with the Seller, for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Seller, the Seller's officers and directors and each person, if any, who
controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and not for the benefit of any assignee thereof
or any other person or persons dealing with the Seller or any such officer,
director or controlling person, as follows: in consideration of and as an
inducement to their agreement to sell the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each such officer, director and
controlling person against any failure by the Purchaser to perform its
obligations to the Seller under Article V hereof. In the case of any claim
against Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. pursuant to this Section 7.09 by the
Seller or any such officer, director or controlling person, it shall not be
necessary for such claimant to first pursue any remedy from or exhaust any
procedures against the Purchaser.

         Section 7.10 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the provisions of Article V hereof and Section 7.09
hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

         Section 7.11 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. With respect to Article V hereof,
each of the Underwriters is an intended third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement from and including the date hereof.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused
their names to be signed to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year fist above
written.

                                    EXHIBIT A

        Representation and Warranties with Respect to the Mortgage Loans

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each
Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specified:

                  (a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
with respect to each Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct;

                  (b) The Mortgage Loans are in compliance with all requirements
set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and the characteristics of the Mortgage
Loans as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement are true and correct;

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

                  (d) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;

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

                  (f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,

                                       22

<PAGE>

render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right
of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury
and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto;

                  (g) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer in the secondary market against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums
thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which
policy is generally acceptable to prudent lenders in the secondary mortgage
market. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to
do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;

                  (h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity,
fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of
mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with;

                  (i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

                  (j) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien on the Mortgaged Property (including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property), which Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and
liens (including mechanics liens) having priority over the first lien of the
Mortgage except for: (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Value of
the Mortgaged Property and (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes

                                       23

<PAGE>

and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority
security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full
right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

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

                  (l) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person
who is a party to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage is in an individual
capacity or family trust that is guaranteed by a natural person;

                  (m) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage;

                  (n) Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Seller will be the sole legal, beneficial and
equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and will have full right
to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

                  (o) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance
with any and all applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

                  (p) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title
Association ("ALTA") ALTA lender's title insurance policy (which, in the case of
an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in
the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to prudent lenders in the secondary
mortgage market, issued by a title insurer generally acceptable to prudent
lenders in the secondary mortgage market and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the
exceptions contained in (j)(a) and (b) above) the Seller, its successors and
assigns as to the first lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan,
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien
resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the
Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender's title
insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress

                                       24

<PAGE>

to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of
such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy
is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims are
pending under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

                  (q) Other than delinquencies of fewer than 30 days and
delinquencies of 30 or more days that are disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement, there has been no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration;

                  (r) As of the date of origination and to the best of the
Seller's knowledge as of the Closing Date, there are no mechanics' or similar
liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights
are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage that are not insured against
by the related title insurance policy;

                  (s) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

                  (t) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a
savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;

                  (u) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first or fifteenth day of
each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate,
and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each
Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan
is as listed on the

                                       25

                  (v) The origination and collection practices used by the

servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the
possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due to the Seller have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments are being held by the Seller for any work on a Mortgaged Property which
has not been completed;

the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy
proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor is not subject to
protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no
knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers
and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940;

Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of the Financial Institutions

signed, prior to the funding of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect
in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose
compensation

                                       26

designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or
expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the
deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor or the reconveyance of the deed of trust;

                  (cc) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which

construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the
trade in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

                  (ff) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no
circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably
be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause
the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the
Mortgage Loan;

                  (gg) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and to
the best of the Seller's knowledge as of the Closing Date, the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law; all inspections, licenses

under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

                  (jj) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the
Cut off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first

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

         3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax

respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another

to abide by the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

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

         7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.

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

         9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section

residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the

was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

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

                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective
as of May 1, 2004, among CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC. as Depositor, NEW
CENTURY MORTGAGE CORPORATION as Servicer and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be
issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created
hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised
of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement.

                                     REMIC I
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets (other than the Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and the Cap Contract) subject to this
Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool
of assets will be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Interest will be the
sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance
and, solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each of the REMIC I
Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests
will be certificated.

such Mortgaged Property if the "lease option purchase price" was set less than
12 months prior to origination, and is based on the value determined by an
appraisal made for the Originator of such Mortgage Loan at the time of
origination if the "lease option purchase price" was set 12 months or more prior
to origination.

                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the

therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and all other assets included or to be
included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and principal
received by the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans
on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee
an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  In connection with such transfer and assignment, the
Depositor, does hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee the following

assigned (in each case, a "Mortgage File"):

         following form "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
         Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,"
         with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
         endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the
         Trustee;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,

         executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording
         thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment in blank;

                  (iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a
         complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person
         assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the
         immediately preceding clause (iii);

                  (v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification or
         substitution agreement, if any; and

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or, if the
         original title policy has not been issued, the irrevocable commitment
         to issue the same.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the

in Section 2.01(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
delivery to the Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with
a lost note affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto. If
any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered
to the Trustee is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be
delivered to the Trustee within three Business Days.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents
shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
each such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. Notice shall be provided to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies by the
Depositor if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180
days after the Closing Date. If the original lender's title insurance policy was
not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the
original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to promptly (within sixty Business Days
following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Trustee
of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later than ninety
days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording,
at the expense of the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property
records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and
the Depositor shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original
Assignment to be executed in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared (at the expense of the
Responsible Party) a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such
defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded. If the Responsible Party is unable to pay the cost of recording the
Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable
to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any
Assignment delivered by the Depositor hereunder is in recordable form.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the
Depositor receives written notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates;

                                      -44-

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to submit or cause to be submitted each
Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the
Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable
direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence
of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) with
respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) any
Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent. Upon receipt of written notice
by the Trustee from the Servicer that recording of the Assignments is required
pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Depositor shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such
Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the
Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that
any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to
be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the
Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that
is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage
File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee hereto understand and agree that
it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

                  The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Cap Contract on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such
Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Cap Contract and shall do so solely in its
capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.

                  The Trustee, acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section
2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii),
(iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts attributable thereto deposited into the
Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents
and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that
it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.

                                      -45-

<PAGE>

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in
Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are
in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear
regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xi), (xii) and
(xv) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in
conducting such review, the Trustee was under no duty or obligation (i) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, valid, legally
binding, effective or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they
have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face, (ii) to determine whether any
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of
Section 2.01 or (iii) to determine the perfection or priority of any security
interest in any such documents or instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
conducting the review described in this Section 2.02, the Trustee shall not be
responsible for determining (i) if an Assignment is sufficient under the laws of
the jurisdiction wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of
record the sale of the Mortgage or (ii) if a Mortgage creates a first lien on,
or first priority security interest in, a Mortgaged Property.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer
shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In addition,
upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by either the Responsible Party
or the Seller in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

                  The Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any
Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all
Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.

                  SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
                                the Originators and the Seller.

                                      -46-

<PAGE>

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Responsible Party or the Seller of any representation,
warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of
any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Seller, the Responsible Party and the Servicer of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach within 60 days from the date the Responsible Party or the Seller, as
applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such
period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Responsible Party or
the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days
after the date on which the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, was
notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document, defect or
breach, if and to the extent that the Responsible Party or the Seller is
obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in
the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to
be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan)
and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Responsible Party and the Seller to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.

                  (b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Responsible
Party or the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
such substitution shall be effected by the Responsible Party or the Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee,
and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements
thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and, within ten Business Days

                                      -47-

<PAGE>

thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver
to the Depositor and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one
year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and
the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto
with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
REMIC I and will be retained by the Responsible Party or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before
the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that
such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including, all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

                  In addition, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as
applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.

                  (c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee that any

                                      -48-

<PAGE>

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

                  SECTION 2.04. Reserved.

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

                  The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and to the Depositor that as
of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

                  (i) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized and validly
         existing under the laws of the State of California and is duly
         authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated
         by this Agreement to be conducted by the Servicer in any state in which
         a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under
         applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in
         compliance with the doing business laws of any such State, to the
         extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan
         and to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
         Agreement;

                  (ii) The Servicer has the full power and authority to conduct
         its business as presently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and
         perform, and to enter into and consummate, all transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement. The Servicer has duly authorized the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly
         executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement, assuming due
         authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor and the Trustee,
         constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer,
         enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally and by general principles of equity;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer
         hereunder, the consummation by the Servicer of any other of the
         transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance
         with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the
         Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
         of the charter or by-laws of the Servicer or (B) conflict with, result
         in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default
         under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which
         the Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or any statute,
         order or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court,

         regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
         jurisdiction over the Servicer; and the Servicer is not a party to,
         bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement
         or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or
         regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
         governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and
         adversely affects or, to the Servicer's knowledge, would in the future
         materially and adversely affect, (x) the ability of the Servicer to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) the business,
         operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Servicer
         taken as a whole;

                  (iv) The Servicer is a HUD approved servicer. No event has
         occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,
         that would make the Servicer unable to comply with HUD eligibility
         requirements or that would require notification to HUD;

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

                  (vi) No litigation is pending against the Servicer that would
         materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or
         enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to
         service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations
         hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;

                  (vii) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations known to it of, the Servicer before any court,
         administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering
         into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit
         or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of
         its obligations under, or validity or enforceability of, this
         Agreement;

                  (viii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
         court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
         delivery and performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the
         Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation by it of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
         approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained
         prior to the Closing Date;

                  (ix) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge unless
         it is waived in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01;
         and

                  (x) The Servicer has fully furnished and will continue to
         fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
         implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
         favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax,
         Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
         on a monthly basis.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the

                                      -50-

<PAGE>

Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, unless such breach shall not be
susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the Servicer set forth in
this Section 2.05 to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the
Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt
of notice by the Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05(ix) above, which breach materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in
any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall remedy such breach as follows: the
Seller must pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Servicer or
paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

                  SECTION 2.06. Issuance of the REMIC I Regular Interests and
                                the Class R-I Interest.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in REMIC I, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer
of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I
Interest) in authorized denominations. The interests evidenced by the Class R-I
Interest, together with the REMIC I Regular Interests, constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC I. The rights of the Class R-I Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interest) to receive
distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in respect of the Class R-I Interest
and the REMIC I Regular Interests, and all ownership interests evidenced or
constituted by the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests, shall
be as set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.07. Conveyance of the REMIC I Regular Interests;
                                Acceptance of REMIC II by the Trustee.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the REMIC I Regular Interests for the benefit of the Class R-II Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests). The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds
and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present
and future Class R-II Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular
Interests). The rights of the Class R-II Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the
REMIC I Regular Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC
II in respect of the Class R-II Interest and REMIC II Regular Interests,
respectively, and all ownership interests

evidenced or constituted by the Class R-II Interest and the REMIC II Regular
Interests, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.08. Issuance of Class R Certificates.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC
Regular Interests and, concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, pursuant
to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor,
the Trustee has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in authorized denominations.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of
the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective
Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own
portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice
of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but
without regard to:

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
         compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
         particular transaction.

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and
interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to
waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such
waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii)
either (A) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgement of the Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in
connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is
related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (B) such waiver is
made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan unrelated to
a default or a reasonably foreseeable default where (x) the related mortgagor
has stated to the Servicer or an applicable Sub-Servicer an intention to
refinance the related Mortgage Loan and (y) the Servicer has concluded in its
reasonable judgement that the waiver of such Prepayment Charge would induce such
mortgagor to refinance with the Servicer or (iii) collection of the related
Prepayment Charge would violate applicable law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived
as permitted by meeting both of the standards described in clauses (i) and
(ii)(B) or (iii) above, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together
with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is
required to be deposited into the Collection Account. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Servicer in respect of
any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(B) shall be
deemed to be paid outside of the

                                      -53-

Trust Fund.

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of
them, and upon written notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the
Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder and the Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.

                  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections
from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section
3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the
timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting
from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default
with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup

                                      -54-

date" under the REMIC Provisions.

                  The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer
from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
                                Sub- Servicers.

                  (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that, based on an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely), meets
the requirements applicable to Sub- Servicing Agreements set forth in this
Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub- Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided,
further, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or
defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions of a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing
and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively
deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, upon its request, copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation of a Sub-Servicer to
make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing
Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub- Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of enforcing the obligations of a Sub-Servicer at its own
expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery
resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery
exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.

                  SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee (if the Trustee is
acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if it is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).

                  SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub- Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

                  SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
                                Sub-Servicers, the Trustee or the
                                Certificateholders.

                                      -56-

<PAGE>

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

                  SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                Agreements by the Trustee.

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default), the Trustee, its designee or other successor Servicer shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-
Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee,
such designee or other successor Servicer elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor Servicer for the Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to
have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be
the Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor
Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the
Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.

                  The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

                  The Servicing Fee payable to the Trustee as successor Servicer
or other successor Servicer shall be payable from payments received on the
Mortgage Loans in the amount and in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii)
above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section
3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan),
accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a
"Short Pay-off"), or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any
such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor.

                  SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub- Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                  SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
                                Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums
and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall
be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The
Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business
Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on
account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments
in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the
receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as
required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a

Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner and at a time that
assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with
respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss
of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a
tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided
in the related Sub- Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any
advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments)
and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors
any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and
as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v)
clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's
obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part of its servicing duties, the
Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the
Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

                  SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.

                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, as and when received or as
otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or
made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or
interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or
payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the
Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

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

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
         Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

                  (iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds (other than
         proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and
         amounts paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
         Properties pursuant to Section 9.01) and Subsequent Recoveries;

                  (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
         with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

                  (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
         pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
         blanket policy deductibles;

                  (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
         purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16 or Section
         9.01;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
         pursuant to Section 2.03; and

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in
         connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges, modification or assumption fees, or insufficient funds charges need not
be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by
the Servicer as additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit
in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account by 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that
portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the
references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges
collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of
the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of
any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.26 and (ii)
on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in
the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, by 1:00
p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account
any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Responsible Party, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  (c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the
Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer and

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and
prior to any change thereof.

                  (d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be
the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account (and in such
event, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee with written instructions
regarding the investment of such funds); provided, however, that the Trustee
shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this
subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time request in writing that the Trustee withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall the Trustee
incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the
direction of the Servicer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for
deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

                  (i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;

                  (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
         Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01; and

                  (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
         3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall.

                  (e) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any
         amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in
         connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect
         to funds held in the Collection Account (and the Distribution Account
         to the extent that funds therein are deemed to be part of the
         Collection Account).

                  SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 4.03:

                  (i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
         Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
         3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
         of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for
         Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent
         Late Collections (net of the related

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

         Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to
         which such Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 4.03;

                  (iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
         Sub-Servicer, as applicable, (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any
         unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but
         only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds,
         Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries received with respect to
         such Mortgage Loan and (c) any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with
         respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
         and Subsequent Recoveries received with respect to such Mortgage Loan
         are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
         Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in
         addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any
         interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
         Collection Account;

                  (v) to pay to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Responsible
         Party or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
         Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section
         2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the
         date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

                  (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance previously made
         which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;

                  (vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
         incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the
         case may be, pursuant to Section 3.02(b) and Section 6.03;

                  (viii) to reimburse the Servicer or Trustee for expenses
         reasonably incurred in connection with any breach or defect giving rise
         to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement,
         including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
         obligation;

                  (ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
         Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
         Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and

                  (x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
         Section 9.01.

                  The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (vi) and (vii) above; provided
that an Officers' Certificate in the form

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice for such written notification to
the Trustee in respect of clause (vi) hereof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without
priority:

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

                  (ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant
         to Section 8.05 or for Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

                  (iii) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.02;

                  (iv) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
         Section 10.01(g)(iii);

                  (v) to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances
         and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.26; and

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

                  SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
                                and the Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an
"Investment Account") to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or
more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the
obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trustee is the obligor thereon. Amounts in the Distribution Account shall be
held uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall
be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any income and
gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other
instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the
Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to
transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event
amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party with investment discretion
over such Investment Account shall:

                  (x) consistent with any notice required to be given
         thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
         Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
         to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
         amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

                                        -63-

<PAGE>

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

                  (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of
the Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to
its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.

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

                  (d) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic
self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder
servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the
Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain
Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted
Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is
reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or
otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.

                  SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
                                Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

                  (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of the current
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than
such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause
contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause
to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became
an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related
Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be

                                      -64-

<PAGE>

released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer
would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms
and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in
the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if
received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to
be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

                  (b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond
in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors
and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall also
cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond

                                      -65-

<PAGE>

which would meet such requirements.

                  SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                Agreements.

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole
business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the
Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due- on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is
also 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Originator and has a credit
risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with
any assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply the Originator's
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter
into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption,
modification or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to
the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended
or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution, modification or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
executed original of such substitution, modification or assumption agreement,
which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and 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.

                  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 Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Servicer shall exercise its discretion, consistent
with customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, with
respect to the enforcement and servicing of defaulted Mortgage Loans in such
manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect
thereto, including, but not limited to, the modification of such Mortgage Loan,
or foreclosure upon the related Mortgaged Property and disposition thereof.

                  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall use its
best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as
contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in
its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation
of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

                                      -67-

<PAGE>

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.03(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(iii) and (a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) The Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC I any
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent, which
the Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to
foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in
writing to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee prior
to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
the Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on
the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most delinquent Mortgage Loans or
related REO Properties first. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title
to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii);
second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the
Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date
on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final
Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage
Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the
full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount
of such recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify or
cause to be notified the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of
the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer at no cost to
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any
request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File
to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer,
execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each
and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee
when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage
Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such
document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be
delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request for Release certifying as to
such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee, the
Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the name and address of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, any outstanding Requests for
Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee to
the Servicer or its designee.

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

                                      -69-

sale.

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Sections
3.26, 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; provided, however, that
the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges or otherwise
(subject to Section 3.24 and other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the
Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to
withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw
from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance
required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the
related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each
Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the expenses of
the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided herein.

                  SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee and Others; Collection
                                Account Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee (upon the Trustee's request) and the
Depositor the most current available bank statement for the Collection Account.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, the Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Officers'
Certificate (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely in connection with its
obligations under Section 4.06) substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached
hereto stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made

                                      -70-

<PAGE>

under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to
any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report
stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain
matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by
such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall, at
its own expense, furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating
Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request, provided that such statement is delivered by the
Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner, access to the documentation in the Servicer's possession
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In
addition, access to the documentation in the Servicer's possession regarding the
Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate; provided, however, that providing access to such
Person will not violate any applicable laws, upon reasonable request during
normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the
expense of the Person requesting such access.

                  SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC
I, shall either sell any REO Property prior to the end of the third taxable year
after REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later
than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise
expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO
Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net
income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.

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

                  (c) The Servicer shall have the sole discretion to determine
whether an immediate sale of an REO Property or continued management of such REO
Property is in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In furtherance of
the foregoing, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to
the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in
which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer
or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues received by
it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary
for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property
including, without limitation:

                  (i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
         REO Property;

                                      -72-

<PAGE>

                  (ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
         REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

                  (iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
         Property.

                  To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not and the
Trustee shall not knowingly authorize the Servicer to:

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

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

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will
not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by
REMIC I, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in
such Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

                  (ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
         to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
         incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
         Property, including those listed above and remit all related

                                      -73-

<PAGE>

         revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as
         practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
         receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

                  (iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating
         to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties
         and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with
         respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

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

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by
it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the
prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or
this Section 3.23(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price
and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or
advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its Accepted Servicing Practices.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale
for other consideration).

                  (g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect
to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any

                                      -74-

Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code,
respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the
reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.

                  SECTION 3.24. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the
Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date
from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting from
full or partial Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and
(ii) the aggregate Servicing Fee for the related Prepayment Period. Any amounts
paid by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.24 shall not be reimbursed by
any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 3.25. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances
that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or
receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall
and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor
and any successor Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to
seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of
the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.26. Advance Facility.

                  (a) Either (i) the Servicer or (ii) the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust Fund, with the consent of the Servicer, is hereby authorized to enter
into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing
Person") may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under
this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the
Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the
Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26,
upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a
letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of
such Advance Facility. If the Trustee enters into such an Advance Facility
pursuant to this Section 3.26, the Servicer shall also be a party to such
Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or
any Servicing Advance and the Servicer provides the Trustee with an Officers'
Certificate that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such
Officers' Certificate must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section
of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or

                                      -75-

<PAGE>

Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility
that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee,
rather than the Servicer or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance
Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any
calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be
entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person's
notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.26. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility.
An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.

                  (b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the
remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Servicer shall remit such amounts
in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such
Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an "Advance Facility
Trustee") designated by such Advancing Person. The Trustee is hereby authorized
to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing
Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Servicer would
have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances in accordance with 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section
3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any
advancing facility agree in writing.

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

                  (d) Any amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.26,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement;
provided, however, such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01
hereof. All costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each party hereto
related to such amendment shall be borne by the Servicer without reimbursement
from the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 3.27. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.28 Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered
holders of Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2004-NC1, Asset Backed
Pass-Through Certificates." The amount deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account will consist of any payments received by the Trustee under the
Cap Contract and deposited into the Net WAC

                                      -76-

<PAGE>

Rate Carryover Reserve Account. All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the manner set forth in Section
4.01(a)(4).

                  (b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a).

                  (c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the
Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or
the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE
Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any
payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).

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

                  (e) Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall remain uninvested.

                  (f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the
right of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect
of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of $545,000.

         thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts
         payable as Uncertificated Interest in respect of REMIC I Regular
         Interest I-LTZZ shall be reduced when the sum of the REMIC I
         Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC I Required
         Overcollateralized Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such
         difference and (y) the Maximum I-LTZZ Uncertificated Interest Deferral

                  (ii) second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in

                  I-LTAA, 98.00% of such remainder (less the amount payable in

                  REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero;

                  I-LTM4, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTM6, 1.00% of such remainder (less the amount
                  payable in clause (d) below), in the same proportion as
                  principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding
                  Certificates, until the Uncertificated Balances of such REMIC
                  I Regular Interests are reduced to zero;

provided, however, that 98.00% and 2.00% of any principal payments that are
attributable to an Overcollateralization Reduction Amount shall be allocated to
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ,
respectively.

                  (v) to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the amount
         by which any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such Distribution Date
         exceed the amounts received by the Trustee under the Cap Contract;

                  (vi) to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates the Interest
         Distribution Amount and any remaining Overcollateralization Reduction
         Amount for such Distribution Date; and

                  (vii) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any
         remaining amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the
         Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest
         Prepayment Charge term on a Mortgage Loan as identified on the Mortgage
         Loan Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, then any such
         remaining amounts will be distributed first, to the Holders of the
         Class P Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
         has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of the Class R
         Certificates.

                  On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of
the Available Distribution Amount as set forth above, the Trustee will withdraw
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts
remaining on deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for such
Distribution Date and distribute such amount FIRST, to the Class A Certificates,
on a PRO RATA basis based on the Net WAC Carryover Amount for each such Class;
SECOND, to the Class M-1 Certificates, THIRD, to the Class M-2 Certificates,
FOURTH, to the Class M-3 Certificates, FIFTH, to the Class M-4 Certificates,
SIXTH, to the Class M-5 Certificates and SEVENTH, to the Class M-6 Certificates,
in each case to the extent such Net WAC Carryover Amount is allocable to each
such Class.

                  (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any
amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment
Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of
any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount and
shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such
distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class P Certificates.

                  Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to
the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority,
up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be
entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on
which such increase occurs. Any such increases

                                      -82-

<PAGE>

shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of
such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

                  (c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

                  (d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or the
Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on
the Certificates.

                  (e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the extent
that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the
Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:

                  (i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with
         respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
         Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at
         the office of the Trustee therein specified, and

                  (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
         after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

                                      -83-

<PAGE>

                  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non- tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets held in trust for such Certificateholders. If within
one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., in accordance with its wiring instructions, all such amounts, and all
rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon
cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any
amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held in trust by the Trustee shall
be held in an Eligible Account and shall be held uninvested.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to
Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC I
Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount
both (a) allocated to such REMIC I Regular Interest in respect of Realized
Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC I Regular
Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01.

                  SECTION 4.02. Statements to Certificateholders.

                  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and make

<PAGE>

shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order
to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above

                  In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i) through (iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per
Single Certificate of the relevant Class.

                  Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each

the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a statement containing
the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for
such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been

                  SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances.

                  (a) On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee by telecopy (or by such other means as the
Servicer or the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with
respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall
electronically transmit (in a format acceptable to the Trustee), a data file
containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect to

<PAGE>

perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by
Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by
Section 4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or
verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of, (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended
calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such
Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to
make Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls or Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls in excess of their respective obligations under Section
3.24.

                  By 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of
the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the
total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the
related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on
the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be
distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not
been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer
by telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the
Trustee on such date is less than the amount required to be remitted by the
Servicer as set forth in the Remittance Report for the related Distribution
Date.

                  (c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing

                                      -88-

<PAGE>

Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by the Servicer that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any
proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall
be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the
Depositor and the Trustee.

                  SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the
Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of
Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such
Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses,
the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

                  (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the
Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related
Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-6 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-4
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; sixth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M-2
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero and eighth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

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

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated

                                      -89-

<PAGE>

and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made
by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(4)(v). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P
Certificates.

                  As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  (c) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I
Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC

                  SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements

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

                                      -90-

<PAGE>

withheld to such Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.06. Exchange Commission; Additional Information.

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

                  (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

                  (c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Trustee Certification") (provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects
of items of the Certification (the "Servicer Certification"). The Servicer's
certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), the Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor
by no later than March 19th of each year and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day,

                                      -91-

<PAGE>

the immediately preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Trustee to timely deliver the Trustee
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Trustee Certification and
(ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee
and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Servicer
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Servicer Certification and
(iii) the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach of the Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, then
the Depositor (in connection with a breach of its obligations under this Section
4.06 or its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith)
or the Trustee or the Servicer (in connection with a breach of its respective
obligations under this Section 4.06(c)), agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer.

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

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

                  (f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this
Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this
Agreement.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.

                  The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-14. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the written order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

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

                                      -93-

<PAGE>

(including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry
Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the
Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed
to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have
the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-
Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

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

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through
the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to
be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations
of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a
Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
                                Certificates.

                  (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be

                                      -94-

<PAGE>

appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.11, a
Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration
of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class CE Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private Certificates") shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and
from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund
or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as such or any
Sub- Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Class R Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

                  (c) No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the effect that the
purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the Code, will not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the

                                      -95-

<PAGE>

Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of
such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

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

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

                  (d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:

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

                           (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
                  Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee
                  shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the
                  Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an
                  affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,"
                  in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) from the proposed
                  Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
                  representing and warranting, among other things, that such
                  Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring
                  its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate

                                      -96-

<PAGE>

                  that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
                  trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
                  Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
                  Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain
                  a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
                  provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
                  them.

                           (C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
                  Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause
                  (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is
                  assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the
                  proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer
                  of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such
                  proposed Transferee shall be effected.

                           (D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
                  Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require
                  a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto
                  as Exhibit F-2 from any other Person to whom such Person
                  attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
                  Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest
                  unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form
                  attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that,
                  among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other
                  Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

                           (E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
                  Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership
                  Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee
                  written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder"
                  within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section
                  1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
                  Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an
                  Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a
                  "pass-through interest holder."

                  (ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
         Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
         Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably
         required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. In
         addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless
         the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the
         Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a
         Permitted Transferee.

                  (iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
         a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
         5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
         restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
         thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
         such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to
         any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate
         that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any
         payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking
         any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
         this Agreement.

                           (B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder
                  of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in
                  this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that

<PAGE>

                  the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of
                  such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A)
                  above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
                  Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, without
                  notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual
                  Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser
                  selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may
                  choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and
                  deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
                  instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee
                  itself or any Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of such
                  sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
                  payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes
                  due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported
                  Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
                  clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of
                  the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person
                  having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a
                  result of its exercise of such discretion.

                  (iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
         Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
         information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the
         Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
         Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information
         described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
         1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
         Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company,
         real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
         estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds
         an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
         record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified
         Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information
         may be accepted by the Trustee.

                  (v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
         this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
         that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of
         the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
         following:

                           (A) written notification from each Rating Agency to
                  the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination
                  of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to
                  downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of
                  Certificates; and

                           (B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
                  satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such
                  modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions
                  will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC
                  and will not cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to an
                  entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
                  Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or
                  a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject
                  to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
                  Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  (e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose

                                      -98-

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  (f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In
addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in
each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

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

                  (h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
procedures.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same
Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

                  SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose

                                      -99-

<PAGE>

of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.

                  On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such
Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate, a Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the
following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, a Certificate Owner or prospective
transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or
other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form
most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement
and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all
monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the
relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other
notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the
Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all
Officers' Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the
Closing Date to evidence the Servicer's determination that any Advance or
Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing
items will be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the
Person requesting the same.

                         THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

                  SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.

                  The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

                  SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
                                Servicer.

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

                  The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated
with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, 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 or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;
and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result
thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

                  SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
                                Servicer and Others.

                  None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person against any
breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any
specific liability imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and
any director, officer, employee

                                      -101-

<PAGE>

or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any
specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or
expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this
Agreement; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in
its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account
as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement
being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.

                  SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.

                  (a) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law or as provided in Section 6.04(c)
.. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No
resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of
such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall
not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the
                                Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal

                                      -102-

<PAGE>

business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and
access to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer)
responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to
the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent
financial statements and such other information relating to the Servicer's
capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses (and
that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To the extent such information is not
otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not
disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Servicer's written consent, except as required pursuant to this
Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with
legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (ii)
pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or
the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes
publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than
the Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this
Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information(A) in any preliminary or
final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document
pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance
by the Depositor or the Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or
internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to
know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the
confidential nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its best
efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under
this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Agreement;
provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under
this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee.
The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance
of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  (a) "Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means
any one of the following events:

                  (i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
         distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
         Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer
         Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the
         terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied
         for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which
         case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Servicer, the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at

         agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, or
         the breach by the Servicer of any representation and warranty contained
         in Section 2.05, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or
         if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within 30 days, then such
         remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and diligently pursued
         thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall such failure or
         breach be allowed to exist for a period of greater than 90 days) after

         requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
         Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Servicer, the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
         least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such
         failure by a Servicing Officer; or

                  (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
         authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
         under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
         similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
         liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
         assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
         liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
         Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
         undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

                  (v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
         its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make

         suspend payment of its obligations; or

                  (vi) any failure by the Servicer of the Servicer Termination
         Test; or

                  (vii) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance on any
         Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
         pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 12:00 p.m.
         New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
         Remittance Date.

                  If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall
occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the
Trustee as successor Servicer, or another successor servicer appointed in
accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance. 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 Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section,
and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Servicer, 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 or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten
Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's
functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day
to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time
shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO
Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter
be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by
the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances, Servicing
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is
received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust
Fund or this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a)(1) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trustee shall separately assume and become 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 all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed
by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer
under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in
Section 2.05 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant
to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without
limitation, the Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section
4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation
from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans,
then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section
4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 7.02(a)(2) below,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established
mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency without
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings then assigned to any of
the Certificates and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the
successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement.

                  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided,
that if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02,
such costs shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor
servicer), and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults
in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor
Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).

                  (2) No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer as such
hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

                  SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall have
been cured or waived.

                  SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

                  The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default;
provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause (i)
or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default,
such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to its satisfaction, will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.

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

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

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
         to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
         faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
         entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time,
         method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
         to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it,
         under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and
         shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
         resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties;

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
         exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
         to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
         unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
         security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
         expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
         nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
         obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which
         has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and
         powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
         care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or
         use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
         affairs;

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

                  (v) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default
         hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which
         may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
         investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
         requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled
         to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the
         payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses
         or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
         investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured
         to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require
         indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such expense or
         liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any
         such action;

                  (vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents, accountants or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be
         responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents,
         accountants or attorneys appointed with due care by it hereunder;

<PAGE>

                  (vii) The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and
         reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written
         investment direction from the Servicer or the Depositor. In no event
         shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
         investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability
         in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
         investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment
         prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the
         Depositor to provide timely written investment direction; and

                  (viii) In order to comply with its duties under the USA
         Patriot Act of 2001, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain
         information and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement
         including, but not limited to, each such party's name, address and
         other identifying information.

                  (b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.

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

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section
8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes
no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the
Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document or of MERS or the MERS(R) System. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer, other than any
funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10,
subject to Section 8.01.

                  SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

                  (a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee, or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the
Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the

                                      -110-

<PAGE>

Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee in
connection with any Servicer Event of Default (not including expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in its capacity as
successor Servicer), default, claim or legal action or any pending or threatened
claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than
any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer's
obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans (for which
the Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) for the expenses
of preparing and filing Tax Returns pursuant to Section 10.01(d) or (iii) any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of its respective obligations and duties hereunder. Any
amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee in respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or
pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the
Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have
hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the
Distribution Account at any time.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and
hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach
of the Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the
Trustee shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the
Trust Fund therefor.

                  The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation
of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning

                                      -111-

<PAGE>

Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer by the
Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation or removal, the Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

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

                  SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held
by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a custodian,
which custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and
the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

<PAGE>

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.

                  SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

                  Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

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

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

                  In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether
as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.

                  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been

                                      -113-

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

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

                  SECTION 8.11. Reserved.

                  SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee will designate an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be
delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its
agent located c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park
Entrance, New York, NY 10041 for such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, solely as to
itself, to the Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

                  (i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
         States.

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
         the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
         will not violate its charter or bylaws.

                  (iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
         consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
         authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
         and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

                  (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
         delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
         binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
         terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
         enforcement of

                                      -114-

         creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity,
         regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
         equity or at law.

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 9.01 Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
                               Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee (other than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.05 and of the Servicer to make remittances to the Trustee and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment
to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. Subject
to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price equal to the greater
of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised
value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and, to the extent that the
Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all
amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee, in their
reasonable discretion) and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and
the REO Properties (as determined by the Terminator and, to the extent that the
Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all
amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee (it being
understood and agreed that any determination by the Trustee shall be made solely
in reliance on an appraisal by an Independent appraiser as provided above)), as
of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon
which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(c), in each case plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through
the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable
to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts (the "Termination Price"); provided, however, such option
may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest
accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of,
each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. If the determination of
the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required
to be made by the Terminator and an Independent appraiser as provided above, (A)
such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the
Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
appraisal.

                  (b) The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long
as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) shall have the right (the
party exercising such right, the "Terminator"),

                                      -116-

<PAGE>

to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the
Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on
which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator
may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund
at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of
a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

                  (c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 10th day and not
later than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of the final
distribution on the related Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of
such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will
terminate and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as
applicable and the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest
shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the related
Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final
Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of
all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase
price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the
Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to
withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and
(ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to
Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Terminator of
the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to
effectuate such transfer.

                  Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

                  SECTION 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO

                                      -117-

Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund (or the
applicable Trust REMIC) shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements:

                  (i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
         liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
         Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
         satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
         of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
         of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;

                  (ii) During such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to
         the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
         Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
         cash; and

                  (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
         Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
         distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in
         respect of the Class R-I Interest all cash on hand in the Trust Fund
         (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall
         terminate at that time.

                  (b) At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the
Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event
described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense
of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the
Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC
pursuant to this Section 9.02.

                  (c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period
for each Trust REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.

                                REMIC PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.

                  (a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a
REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC
I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and
the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I.
The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be designated as
the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest shall be
designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC II. The Trustee shall not permit
the creation of any "interests" in any Trust REMIC (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
interests represented by the Certificates.

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

                  (c) The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses
relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to
each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel required to be obtained hereunder. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust
REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation
to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent
the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.
The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual
Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the Trust REMICs created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the Trust Fund.

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days following the
Closing Date) in respect of each Trust REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any
right of reimbursement therefor.

                  (e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Residual Certificate

                                      -119-

<PAGE>

such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be
provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all
information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for
tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flow of the Certificates.

                  (f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each
Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to
create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The
Trustee shall not take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or
fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action;
provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to
any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to
take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may
consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be
borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement,
but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of
the assets of REMIC I will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the extent such obligations are within the Trustee's
control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any Trust REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such
REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any

                                      -120-

<PAGE>

contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i)
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this
Article X, (ii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations
under Article III or this Article X, or (iii) in all other cases, against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.

                  (h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's
Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.

                  (i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.

                  (j) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than
in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

                  (k) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor knowingly permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

                  SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I
pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to
Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such
sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at
the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03. Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in this Article X.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,

Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer's covenants
set forth in Article III or this Article X.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify
or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to amend the provisions of Section
4.06 or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either
(a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency).
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be
required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 4.06.

                  This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights 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
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as

written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating
Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a
Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as described in (i) or (iii) modify the
consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

                  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i)
will not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) is authorized or permitted

hereunder.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 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 Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

                  The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.

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

                  SECTION 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

direction of the Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Certificateholders.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

                  The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the

to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any

third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

                  SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.

unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.

obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only

limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the

Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require

                                      A-8-4

<PAGE>

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the

Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In

registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933

the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to

                                      A-11-4

<PAGE>

Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the

entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may

the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of

                                      A-12-3

<PAGE>

Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the

                                      A-13-3

<PAGE>

"Certificates") and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be

                                      A-13-4

<PAGE>

required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other

                                      A-13-5

<PAGE>

liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and
REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

with Section 2.02 of the referenced Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

                  As to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(v) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement) required to be delivered to it pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it
and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii)
based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xi), (xii)
and (xv) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects

                  The Trustee is under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect,
review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, valid, legally binding,
effective or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have
actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face, (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage
File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) to determine the perfection or
priority of any security interest in any such documents or instruments.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  In accordance with Section 2.01 of the above-captioned Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the undersigned, as Trustee, hereby certifies that as
to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Mortgage Loan paid in full or listed on the attachment hereto), it or a
Custodian on its behalf has received:

                  (i)      the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
                           thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney,
                           if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of
                           attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                  (ii)     an original Assignment in blank;

                  (iii)    the original lender's title insurance policy,
                           together with all endorsements or riders that were
                           issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such
                           policy, insuring the Mortgage on the Mortgaged
                           Property represented therein as a fee interest vested
                           in the Mortgagor or in the event such original title
                           policy is unavailable, a written commitment or
                           uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued
                           by the title insurance or escrow company.

                  The Trustee has made no independent examination of any
documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review specifically
required in the above-referenced Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee is
under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they
are genuine, enforceable, valid, legally binding, effective or appropriate for
the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or are in
recordable form or that they are other than what they

                                      C-2-1

purport to be on their face, (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should
include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) to determine the perfection or priority
of any security interest in any such documents or instruments.

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"),
dated May 17, 2004, among NC Capital Corporation, a California corporation (the
"Responsible Party"), Carrington Asset Acceptance Company, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Seller") and Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans
into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced
by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Series
2004-NC1 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of fourteen classes
of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Depositor as depositor, New Century Mortgage Corporation as servicer
(the "Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  The parties hereto agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller agrees to sell
and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before May 20, 2004 (the "Closing
Date"), certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional, one- to
four-family, first lien, residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from
the Responsible Party (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal
balance as of the close of business on May 1, 2004, (the "Cut-off Date") of
$336,792,818.26 (the "Closing Balance"), after giving effect to all payments due
on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received
including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors
in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on an
Originator servicing-retained basis.

                  SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the
Seller have agreed upon which of the Mortgage Loans are to be purchased by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the
Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to
in Section 2(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the

promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and
the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage,
but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the

the Seller shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original
Assignment to be executed in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust

the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the
Purchaser receives notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Seller shall submit or cause to be
submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at the
expense of the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund or the
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence
of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage
and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent. Upon receipt of
written notice that recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or
more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall be
required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be
delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

                  Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee,
transferee or designee.

                  (c) ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after
the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered
after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all
required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

                  (d) TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser has the
right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the
Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Responsible Party, and the
assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller or the Responsible
Party under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller or the
Responsible Party, as applicable.

                  (e) EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES. Prior to the Closing Date,
the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage

to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and
their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing Date. If any such person makes
such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans
that do not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as described in this
Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The
Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or
part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete
examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files
shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided
herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded, or in the process of being recorded, in the applicable
public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the
Mortgage, and which have been delivered or will be delivered to the Custodian on
behalf of the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the insurer under any primary insurance policy
or lender-paid primary insurance policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the
extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the primary insurance
policy or lender-paid primary insurance policy, if any, and the title insurer,
to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered to the Purchaser and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule;

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

                  (8) All buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged
Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
against loss by fire, hazards of extended

                                       -9-

<PAGE>

coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming New Century Mortgage Corporation, its
successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood
insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier,
in the amount described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (and to the
extent required in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is in effect, which
policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to obtain and maintain all such insurance at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect
and inure to the benefit of the Servicer upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Originator has not engaged in,
and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission
which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the
endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either,
including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other
unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,
retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Originator;

                  (9) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, all applicable predatory and abusive lending
laws, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws
applicable to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar
to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws
or regulations, and the Originator shall maintain in its possession, available
for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand,
evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

                  (10) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. Neither the Originator nor
the Servicer has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the
Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
in default, nor has the Originator or the Servicer waived any default resulting
from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

                  (11) The related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid,
existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest
with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by to be a first lien (as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the
Servicer to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule), in either

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the
Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings,
and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to
the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to (a) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to
prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in
the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the Responsible Party by the
Originator and which do not adversely affect the Value of the Mortgaged
Property, (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which
do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be
provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
related Mortgaged Property and (d) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated by the Servicer to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule), a first lien on the Mortgaged Property. Any security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in
connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and
enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to
each Mortgage Loan which is indicated to be a first lien (as reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Servicer
to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule),
in either case, on the property described therein and the Responsible Party had
full right to sell and assign the same to the Seller. The Mortgaged Property was
not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage,
deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

                  (12) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor and
enforceable by the Purchaser against such Mortgagor in accordance with its
terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by law;

                  (13) All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan, to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other related
agreement and to pledge, grant or convey the interest therein purported to be
conveyed, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other related agreement
have been duly and properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural
person;

                  (14) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage;

                  (15) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase
single-premium credit insurance policies;

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

                  (16) [Reserved];

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

                  (18) On the date of its origination and on the Closing Date,
the Mortgage Loan was and is covered by an American Land Title Association
("ALTA") lender's title insurance policy (which, in the case of an
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the
form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, issued by a
title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
(subject to the exceptions contained above in (11)(a) and (b) and, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Servicer to be a second lien
Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), clause (d)) the
Servicer, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect
to any Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Servicer is the sole
insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title
insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in
full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Originator,
has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy including, without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has
been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
realized by the Originator;

                  (19) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and neither the Originator nor the Servicer nor any other entity
involved in originating or servicing a Mortgage Loan has waived any default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan
which is indicated by the Servicer to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the first lien is in full force and
effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a
provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the
second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an
opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first
lien mortgage;

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

                  (21) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, all
improvements which were considered in determining the Value of the related
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

                  (22) The Mortgage Loan was originated by New Century Mortgage
Corporation or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial
bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary
of HUD. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan
underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the information and statements therein not misleading;

                  (23) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly
Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof, of
not more than 30 years, and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate, and,
in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment
Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Rate. The Index for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative
amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a convertible Mortgage Loan;

                  (24) The origination practices used by the Originator and
collection practices used by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the
mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced
by the Servicer and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments (other than
with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Servicer to be a
second lien Mortgage Loan and for which the mortgagee under the first lien is
collecting Escrow Payments (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)), if
any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the
Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. An escrow of
funds is not prohibited by applicable law with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
which such escrow of funds has been

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

established. All Mortgage Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance
with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. If,
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for
determining the Mortgage Rate, the same index was used with respect to each
Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did
not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Originator or an
Affiliate executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable
law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the
Mortgage Rate and the monthly payment adjustments. Any interest required to be
paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and
credited. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due
the Servicer have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the
Servicer for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

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

                  (26) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage
Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to
deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged
Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure
proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable
bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the
Mortgagor which would materially interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to
applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to
bankruptcy and rights of redemption. The Mortgagor has not notified the
Originator or the Servicer and neither the Originator nor the Servicer has any
knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act;

                  (27) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting guidelines of New Century Mortgage Corporation in effect at the
time the Mortgage Loan was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on
forms acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the secondary
market;

                  (28) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security interest or
chattel mortgage referred to in (11) above;

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

                  (29) The Mortgage Note is comprised of one original promissory
note and each such promissory note constitutes an "instrument" for purposes of
Section 102(a)(47) of the Uniform Commercial Code;

                  (30) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property which (A) satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, (B) was conducted generally in accordance with the New Century Mortgage
Corporation's underwriting guidelines and included an assessment of the fair
market value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of such appraisal,
and (C) was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator or the
Servicer, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or
in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum
qualifications of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage
Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;

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

                  (32) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by the Originator, the Servicer, the Mortgagor, or
anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the
Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a
"buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan
and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature;

                  (33) The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that
the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by and the
Originator has complied with all applicable law with respect to the making of
fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loans, and
adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loans and
rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such
statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;

                  (34) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the
construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the
trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

                  (35) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and,
with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or
obtained from the appropriate authorities. No improvement located on or being
part of any Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation. To the best of the

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

Responsible Party's knowledge and with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is
covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy, the improvement(s) located on or
being part of the related Mortgaged Property were constructed in accordance with
the specifications set forth in the original construction plans;

                  (36) No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud
or similar occurrence with respect to the origination, modification or amendment
of any Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including
without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or
any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan; provided,
however, that the Responsible Party shall not be responsible for facts or
circumstances pursuant to this subsection in the event that the Purchaser does
not notify the Responsible Party of such instance within five (5) years of the
Closing Date. The Originator has reviewed all of the documents constituting the
Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and
confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

                  (37) Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser
or the Purchaser's designee) have been recorded, or are in the process of being
recorded, in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary
to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Originator. The
Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

                  (38) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor after the
date of origination of a Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and
single repayment term reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the
Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as
having (A) first lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated to be a first lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule) or (B) second lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
is indicated by the Servicer to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, by a title insurance policy, an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by
other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the related
Mortgage Loan;

                  (39) No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;

                  (40) Each Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple interest
in a single parcel of real property improved by a Residential Dwelling. If the
Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit
in a planned unit development (other than a DE MINIMIS planned unit development)
such condominium or planned unit development project meets the eligibility
requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

                  (41) With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a
manufactured home: (A) the manufactured home is permanently affixed to a
foundation which is suitable for the soil

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

conditions of the site; (B) all foundations, both perimeter and interior, have
footings that are located below the frost line; (C) any wheels, axles and
trailer hitches are removed from such manufactured home; and (D) the related
Mortgage Loan is covered under a standard real estate title insurance policy

or indemnifies against any loss if the manufactured home is determined not to be
part of the real property;

                  (42) Each Mortgage Loan originated in the state of Texas
pursuant to Article XVI, Section 50(a)(6) of the Texas Constitution (a "Texas
Refinance Loan") has been originated in compliance with the provisions of
Article XVI, Section 50(a)(6) of the Texas Constitution, Texas Civil Statutes
and the Texas Finance Code. With respect to each Texas Refinance Loan that is a
Cash-Out Refinancing, the related Mortgage Loan Documents state that the
Mortgagor may prepay such Texas Refinance Loan in whole or in part without
incurring a Prepayment Charge. The Originator does not collect any such
Prepayment Charges in connection with any such Texas Refinance Loan;

                  (43) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

                  (44) There is no pending action or proceeding directly
involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law,
rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law,
rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further
remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or
regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

                  (45) The Originator shall, at its own expense, cause each
Mortgage Loan to be covered by a "life of loan" tax service contract which is
assignable to the Purchaser or its designee at no cost to the Purchaser or its
designee; provided, however, that if the Originator fails to purchase such tax
service contract, the Originator shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser
for all costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the
purchase of any such tax service contract;

                  (46) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a "life of loan" flood
zone service contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee at no
cost to the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by
such flood zone service contract, the Originator has agreed to purchase such
flood zone service contract;

                  (47) [Reserved];

                  (48) None of the Mortgage Loans are classified as (a) "high
cost" loans under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b)
"high cost," "threshold," "covered" or "predatory" loans under any other
applicable federal, state or local law (including without limitation any
regulation or ordinance) (or a similarly classified loan using different
terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional
legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates,
points and/or fees);

                  (49) The Responsible Party has no knowledge of any
circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property,
the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit

standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, adversely
affect the value of the Mortgage Loan or to cause any Mortgage Loan to prepay

of the Mortgaged Property required by Fannie Mae. All provisions of such primary
mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any

                  (61) Each Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration

the Purchaser does not contain the first and second lien mortgage loans relating
to a single Mortgaged Property if the aggregate original principal balance of
such mortgage loans exceeds the loan limits set forth by Freddie Mac's
Seller/Servicer Guide;

                  (65) No Mortgage Loan is a "Specifically Designated National

Affiliate has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated

opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the
event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c)

related first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, and there is no
default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing
under such first lien mortgage or mortgage note, and no event which, with the

would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration thereunder;

                  (83) With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the
related first lien mortgage contains a provision which provides for giving
notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under such second lien Mortgage

                  SECTION 7. REPURCHASE OBLIGATION FOR DEFECTIVE DOCUMENTATION
                             AND FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY.

                  (a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 6
shall not be impaired by any review and examination of Mortgage Files or any
failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such
documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of the
Certificates. With respect to the representations and warranties contained
herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Responsible
Party or as to which the Responsible Party has no knowledge, if it is discovered
that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee,
designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Responsible Party's lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty
being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and
warranty and the Responsible Party shall take such action described in the
following paragraphs in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

                                      -22-

                  Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in,
or that any material document was not transferred by or at the direction of the
Seller (as listed on the Trustee's Preliminary Exception Report) as part of any
Mortgage File, or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's
assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the Seller (in the case of a missing document) or the
Responsible Party and the Seller (in the case of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 6). Within sixty (60) days
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that
was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above, or of materially
defective documentation, or of any such breach of a representation and warranty,
the Responsible Party or the Seller (or their related designee), as applicable,
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects or, in the event the Responsible Party or the Seller (or
their related designee) cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such
defect or breach, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall,
within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable,
shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan
from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the Purchaser
such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are
required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five
(5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a)
shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser of
the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section shall be made
in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Responsible Party or receipt of notice by the Responsible
Party of the breach of the representation of the Responsible Party set forth in
Section 6(68) above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Responsible
Party shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by remitting such amount to the
Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, net of any amount previously
collected by the Servicer or paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an alleged
breach of a representation and warranty which breach is covered by a title
insurance policy, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the
provisions of any related title insurance policy prior to seeking a remedy
against the Responsible Party or the Seller hereunder.

                  (c) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Responsible Party or the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure or
repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Responsible Party or the Seller
respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 6.

                           shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage
                           of time, would constitute a default under this
                           Agreement;

                  (b)      The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys

                           delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01
                           of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

                           reasonably request.

                  SECTION 10. COSTS. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse

Person shall pay) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation,
recording fees, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations and, except

                  The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any

the fees and expenses of the Seller's accountants and attorneys, the costs and
expenses incurred in connection with producing the Servicer's or any
Subservicer's loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, the costs and

of outside special counsel that may be required by the Originator and the fees
charged by any rating agency to rate the Certificates. All other costs and

                  SECTION 11. [RESERVED].

                  SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION. The Responsible Party shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) the Underwriter,
(iii) the Person, if any, to which the Purchaser assigns its rights in and to a
Mortgage Loan and each of their respective successors and assigns and (iv) each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") ((i) through (iv)
collectively, the "Indemnified Party") against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any private placement
memorandum relating to the offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of
the Class CE Certificates or the Class P Certificates, or the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein the material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (i)
information furnished in writing to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by
the Seller or any of its affiliates specifically for use therein, which shall
include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set forth
under the captions "Summary of Prospectus Supplement--The Mortgage Loans," "Risk
Factors" (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans contained
therein), "The Mortgage Pool," "The Originator" and "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement--The Servicer" and, with respect to any private placement memorandum,
any information of a comparable nature, or (ii) the data files containing
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted by modem to the
Purchaser by the Responsible Party or any of its affiliates (as such transmitted
information may have been amended in writing by the Responsible Party or any of
its affiliates with the written consent of the Purchaser subsequent to such
transmission), (b) any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Responsible Party or any affiliate of the Responsible Party herein or in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on which the Purchaser has relied, being, or
alleged to be, untrue or incorrect or (c) any updated collateral information
provided by any Underwriter to a purchaser of the Certificates derived from the
data contained in clause (ii) and the Remittance Report or a current collateral
tape obtained from the Responsible Party or an affiliate of the Responsible
Party, including the current Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that to the extent that any such losses, claims, expenses,
damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject arise
out of or are based upon both (1) statements, omissions, representations,
warranties or covenants of the Seller described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above
and (2) any other factual basis, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Indemnified Party only to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses,
damages, or liabilities of the person or persons asserting the claim are
determined to rise from or be based upon matters set forth in clause (1) above
and do not result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability that the
Seller may otherwise have.

                  SECTION 13. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the
Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this
Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser
under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or
remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights
and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 12
shall be deemed to have been released.

                  SECTION 14. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the
Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New
York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address
as may hereafter be furnished to the Responsible Party and the Seller in writing
by the Purchaser; if to the Responsible Party, addressed to the Responsible
Party at 18400 Von Karman, Suite 1000, Irvine, California 92612, fax (949)
440-7033, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller and
the Purchaser in writing by the Responsible Party; if to the Seller, addressed
to the Seller at Carrington Asset Acceptance Company, L.L.C., Nine Greenwich
Office Park, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831, Attention: Bruce M. Rose, or to such
other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser and the
Responsible Party.

                  SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or that is held
to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto
waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any
provision hereof.

                  SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller, the Responsible
Party and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. (a) The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.

                  (b) The Responsible Party agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Seller and the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of
them, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the
Responsible Party herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding subsequent termination of
this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS,
DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES
HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

                  SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it
is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession" by the
secured party for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security
interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure
that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

<PAGE>

                                   SCHEDULE I

                  The Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the
Purchaser as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date
thereafter:

                  GENERAL

                  1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC")) in the
Mortgage Loans in favor of the Purchaser which security interest is prior to all
other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Seller.

                  2. The Mortgage Loans constitute "general intangibles" or
"instruments" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  3. The Collection Account and all subaccounts thereof
constitute either a deposit account or a securities account.

                  4. To the extent that payments and collections received or
made with respect to the Mortgage Loans constitute securities entitlements, such
payments and collections have been and will have been credited to the Collection
Account. The securities intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to
treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as "financial assets" within
the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  CREATION

                  5. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the
Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person,
excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or
levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or
that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with
respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to
which the lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

                  6. The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the
sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the Purchaser required by the terms of
the Mortgage Loans that constitute instruments.

                  7. To the extent the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof
constitute securities entitlements, certificated securities or uncertificated
securities, the Seller has received all consents and approvals required to
transfer to the Purchaser its interest and rights in the Collection Account
hereunder.

                  PERFECTION

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

                  8. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days
after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Mortgage
Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser and the security interest in the Mortgage
Loans granted to the Purchaser hereunder.

                  9. With respect to the Collection Account and all subaccounts
that constitute deposit accounts, either:

                  (i) the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a fully-executed
         agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts
         has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser
         directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without
         further consent by the Seller; or

                  (ii) the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         Purchaser to become the account holder of the Collection Account.

                  10. With respect to the Collection Account or subaccounts
thereof that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

                  (i) the Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days
         after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all
         appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
         appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the
         security interest in the Collection Account granted by the Seller to
         the Purchaser; or

                  (ii) the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a
         fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary
         has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser
         relating to the Collection Account without further consent by the
         Purchaser; or

                  (iii) the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         securities intermediary to identify in its records the Purchaser as the
         person having a security entitlement against the securities
         intermediary in the Collection Account.

                  PRIORITY

                  11. Other than the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage
Loans. The Seller has not authorized the filing of, or is not aware of any
financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral
covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the
security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been
terminated.

                  12. The Seller is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against the Seller.

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

                  13. The Trustee has in its possession all original copies of
the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans. To the
Seller's knowledge, none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the
Mortgage Loans has any marks or notations indicating that they have been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser
or its designee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the
Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Mortgage
Loans contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security
interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate
the rights of the Purchaser."

                  14. Neither the Collection Account nor any subaccount thereof
is in the name of any person other than the Seller or the Purchaser or in the
name of its nominee. The Seller has not consented for the securities
intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement orders of any
person other than the Purchaser or its designee.

                  15. SURVIVAL OF PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any other transaction document, the
Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and
remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer
or termination of the Servicer's rights to act as such) until such time as all
obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.

                  16. NO WAIVER. The parties to this Agreement (i) shall not,
without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Certificates
waive any of the Perfection Representations, and (ii) shall provide the Rating
Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection
Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the
then-current rating of the Certificates (as determined after any adjustment or
withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any
of the Perfection Representations.

                  17. SELLER TO MAINTAIN PERFECTION AND PRIORITY. The Seller
covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Seller and the
Purchaser under this Agreement, the Seller shall take such action, or execute
and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below),
unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be
necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are
requested by the Purchaser) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority
interest, the Purchaser's security interest in the Mortgage Loans. The Seller
shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare
and present to the Purchaser or its designee to authorize (based in reliance on
the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Seller to file, all
financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in
lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases
or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue,
maintain and perfect the Purchaser's security interest in the Mortgage Loans as
a first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Seller shall present each such
Filing to the Purchaser or its designee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with the grant of the security
interest to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 19 of this Agreement, (ii)
satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Agreement and
(iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform
Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial
Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security
interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Purchaser's signature. Upon
receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization,

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

the Purchaser shall promptly authorize in writing the Seller to, and the Seller
shall, effect such Filing under the UCC without the signature of the Seller or
the Purchaser where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in
the transaction documents to the contrary, the Seller shall not have any
authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the
Purchaser or its designee.

party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from
such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

                  7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions

parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become

                    FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK       )

COUNTY OF NEW YORK      )

                  __________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:

                  1. I am a ______________________ of
____________________________ (the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of ______________, the record owner of Carrington
Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2004-NC1, Asset Backed Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Class R Certificates, (the "Class R Certificates"), on behalf of
whom I make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates were issued.

                  2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________, 20__ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by
any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or
organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.

                  3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R
Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor
or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker,
nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that
the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning
of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the
transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes
due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

                                      F-2-1

<PAGE>

                  4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Class RCertificates if, at any time during the taxable year
of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of
an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes
a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

                  5. The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that
it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the
representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

                  6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

                  7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is ____________.

                  8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class RCertificates were issued
(in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize
the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

                  9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class
R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

                  10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds
the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.

                  11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates.

                  12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.

                  13. The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with
the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that
will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes

                                      F-2-2

<PAGE>

owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates
remain outstanding.

                  14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.

                  15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class
R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".

                  16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in
gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

                  17. The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that
in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and
transfer to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates (with respect to a
termination of REMIC I) any amounts in excess of par received in connection with
such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trustee is
hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such
amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. This agreement
shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of
the undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer of
the Class R] Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially
similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.

STATE OF NEW YORK    )

COUNTY OF NEW YORK   )

                  __________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:

                  1. I am a ____________________ of ____________________________
(the "Owner"), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
______________, on behalf of whom I make this affidavit.

                  2. The Owner is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the
"Residual Certificates") to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

                  3. The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is
the proposed transferee (the "Purchaser") of the Residual Certificates: (i) has
insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder
of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain
outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  4. The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Trustee a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or
believe that any representation contained therein is false.

                  5. At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes
(and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.

                  6. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
