                         POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

      Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 2005, among
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., a Delaware corporation, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a banking association
organized under the laws of the United States, not in its individual capacity
but solely as trustee (the "Trustee"), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master
servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and as securities
administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities Administrator"), and EMC
Mortgage Corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the "Seller") and as company
(in such capacity, the "Company").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

      On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor acquired the Mortgage Loans
from the Seller and the Underlying Certificates from the Underlying Certificates
Seller. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will sell the Mortgage Loans, the
Underlying Certificates and certain other property to the related Trust Fund and
receive in consideration therefor the related Certificates, together evidencing
the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Funds.

      The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC I to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated "regular
interests" in such REMIC I and the Class R-I Interest will be designated the
"residual interest" in such REMIC.

      The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC II to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated "regular
interests" in such REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest will be designated the
"residual interest" in such REMIC.

      The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC III to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC III Regular Certificates will be designated
"regular interests" in such REMIC III and the Class R-III Interest will be
designated the "residual interest" in such REMIC.

      The Class I-R Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the
Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest.

      The Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting
of, among other things, the percentage interest of the Underlying Certificates
set forth herein as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated
pool of assets will be designated as REMIC IV. The Class II-R Certificates will
represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC IV for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions.

      The Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding Principal Balance as of the
Cut-off Date, after deducting all Scheduled Principal due on or before the
Cut-off Date, of $183,539,285.25. The initial principal amount of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates will not exceed such Outstanding Principal Balance.

<PAGE>

      The Underlying Certificates have an aggregate outstanding principal amount
as of the Closing Date equal to $159,959,712.75. The initial principal amount of
the Re-REMIC Certificates will not exceed such outstanding principal amount.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all references
with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall relate only to the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates and all references to the Underlying Certificates
shall relate only to the Re-REMIC Certificates. In no event shall the term
"Mortgage Loans" or "Mortgaged Property" include any Underlying Mortgage Loan or
any mortgaged property related thereto. Reference to "the Certificateholders" or
"the related Certificateholders" shall mean the Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates or Holders of the Re-REMIC Certificates or Holders of
all of the Certificates, as the context requires.

      In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Company and

      Any scheduled reduction to the Subgroup Senior Prepayment Percentage for
the Subgroup 1 and Subgroup 2 Certificates shall not be made as of any
Distribution Date unless, as of the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date (1) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage
Loans in foreclosure and such Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related
Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust) averaged over the last six
months, as a percentage of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the
Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 50% and (2) cumulative Realized Losses

Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates of such Subgroup immediately
preceding such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Subgroup (other than the I-PO
Percentage thereof with respect to the Discount Mortgage Loans) as of the
beginning of the related Due Period, exceeds such percentage as of the Cut-off
Date, then the Subgroup Senior Prepayment Percentage with respect to the Senior
Certificates of each Subgroup for such Distribution Date will equal 100%.

            Outstanding Mortgage Loan in the related Subgroup on the related Due
            Date as specified in the amortization schedule at the time
            applicable thereto (after adjustment for previous Principal
            Prepayments but before any adjustment to such amortization schedule
            by reason of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any moratorium
            or similar waiver or grace period);

            (ii) the applicable Subordinate Prepayment Percentage of the Non-PO

      Section 1.01 Calculation of LIBOR.

      LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the
Adjustable Rate Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period will be determined
on each Interest Determination Date. On each Interest Determination Date, LIBOR
shall be established by the Securities Administrator and, as to any Interest
Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits
that appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London" time, on
such Interest Determination Date. "Telerate Screen Page 3750" means the display
designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may
replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank
offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or
such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is
no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other service
for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected by the
Securities Administrator), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The
"Reference Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any
three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank
market, selected by the Securities Administrator) as of 11:00 a.m., London time,
on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market
for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate
Current Principal Amount of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding.
The Securities Administrator will request the principal London office of each of
the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations
rounded up to the nearest whole multiple of 0.03125%. If on such date fewer than
two quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean
of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the
Securities Administrator, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for
loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in
amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the
Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be
obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; provided
however, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date
would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third
consecutive Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall select an
alternative comparable index (over which the Securities Administrator e has no
control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is
calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Securities Administrator on any Interest
Determination Date and the Securities Administrator's subsequent calculation of
the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the
relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be
final and binding. Promptly following each Interest Determination Date the
Securities Administrator shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of
its determination of LIBOR on such date.

       Conveyance of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates; Original
    Issuance of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates

      Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates to
Trustee.

      (a) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to each Trust without recourse (A) with
respect to the Mortgage Fund, all its right, title and interest in and to (i)
the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all
interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off
Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to
the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be credited or are
required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Master Servicer
Collection Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from
time to time may be held by the Servicers in the Protected Accounts, the Master
Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Trustee in the

and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to
the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to the extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with
respect to the Servicing Agreement as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the
related Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreement, (viii) the Policy, the
Class I-A-3 Policy Payments Account, the Rounding Account and the Reserve Fund
and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing; and (B) with respect to the Re-REMIC
Fund, all its right, title and interest in and to (i) all distributions on the

the Underlying Certificates, (iii) such assets relating to the Underlying
Certificate as from time to time may be held by the Trustee in the Re-REMIC
Certificate Account, and (iv) any proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the
intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Underlying
Certificates and other assets in the Trust Funds pursuant to this Agreement
shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such
conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this
Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right,
title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and the Underlying
Certificates and other assets in the Trust Fund, and that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Moreover, if for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans or Underlying Certificates and the other assets constituting the
Trust Funds, then it is intended as follows: (a) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 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 Underlying Certificates and all amounts payable to the holders of the
Underlying Certificates after the Closing Date 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 from time to time held or invested in the
Distribution Account and Re-REMIC Certificate Account, whether

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the
possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Loans and Underlying
Certificates and such other items of property as 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
Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code; (d) the Trustee shall be the
"securities intermediary," as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)(ii)
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, that in the ordinary course of its
business maintains "securities accounts" for others, as such term is used in
Section 8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the Re-REMIC
Certificate Account shall be a "securities account", as such term is used in
Section 8-501(a) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the "securities
intermediary's jurisdiction" as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code
shall be the State of New York; (f) the Trustee is not a "clearing corporation",
as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code and (g) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed to be 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. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee
agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be conveyed to the Trust
that is either (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004
(iii) a "High Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory
Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home
Loan" as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective Jan 1, 2005.

      (b) In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor
hereby delivers to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan):

            (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse (a) to the

            (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, a certified copy of
the assignment (which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in

Mortgage Loan in the name of the Trustee thereon (or if clause (w) in the
proviso below applies or for Mortgage Loans with respect to which the

preferred loan agreement, if any, relating to such Cooperative Loan; provided,
however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the

assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been
delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information

however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full

      (c) In connection with such transfer and assignment, with respect to the

            (i) causing the delivery of the Underlying Certificates to the

            (ii) delivering all documents required to be executed or furnished
by a transferee and transferor of the Underlying Certificates under each of the

            (v) delivering copies of the most recent Aggregate Collateral

holders of the Underlying Certificates on CD-ROM .

      (d) The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute such
documentation as may be required to permit the transfer to the Re-REMIC Fund of
the Underlying Certificates.

      Section 2.02 Acceptance of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates by
Trustee.

      (a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the
Trust Funds to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and
the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below,
and declares that it holds, the documents (or certified copies thereof)
delivered to the Custodian, as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and
declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments,
replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Funds
delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Holders of the related Certificates and Radian, as applicable. On the
Closing Date, the Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor,
Radian and the Trustee of an Initial Certification receipt of the Mortgage File,
but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to
confirm that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note
affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the
Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
related Certificateholders and Radian, to review or cause to be reviewed by the
Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial Agreement), each Mortgage File
delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, to the Depositor, Radian and the Trustee an Interim Certification. In
conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will ascertain whether all
required documents have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the
Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage
Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In
performing any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, may
conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such
document and on

                                     - 46 -
<PAGE>

the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the
Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage
File has not been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the
basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the
Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face (a
"Material Defect"), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly
notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the
date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect
and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and
such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the related
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the
Seller's obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90
days from the Trustee's or the Custodian's notification, provide a Substitute
Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause
the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days
from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect
relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security
Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the
originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the
applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such
Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy
promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing
Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the
Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for
recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction
because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the
Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if
such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have
been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as
its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of
the original recorded document.

      (b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and Radian, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or
cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor, Radian and the Trustee a
Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
its agent, will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be
recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording
thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the
Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or
the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller (provided,
however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections
(b)(I)(iv), (v), and (vii) of Section 2.01 and subsection (b)(II)(ix) of Section
2.01, the Trustee's and Custodian's obligations shall extend only to the
documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In
accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct
or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee
or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller is
unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee's or
Custodian's notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two
years of

                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>

the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price,
provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such
breach was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to
the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or
intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of
such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan,
if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon
receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to
the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such
document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its
agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the
original recorded document.

      (c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in
accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the
Master Servicer the Repurchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer
Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee and Radian written notification detailing the components of the
Repurchase Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Master Servicer
Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian, as
agent of the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit D attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to
the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or
warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller
title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to
have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in immediately available
funds is received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in a form
agreed to between the Depositor and the Trustee, to reflect such repurchase and
shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, Radian and the Master Servicer of
such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any
Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a
constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect
available to the related Certificateholders and Radian or to the Trustee on
their behalf.

      (d) The Trustee hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the Underlying
Certificates and the documents and instruments referred to in Section
2.01(c)(i)-(v), and declares that it holds and will hold such Underlying
Certificates, such other documents and instruments, and all other assets and
documents included in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the trusts herein set
forth, for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders of the Re-REMIC Certificates in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

      Section 2.03 Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.

      (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, all of its right,
title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not
limited to the Depositor's rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing
Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach
of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available
remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as
applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee's and the related
Certificateholders' sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the
Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce
the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee, the related
Certificateholders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Radian shall
execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to
enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.

      (b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee
discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects
the value of the interests of related Certificateholders or the Trustee in the
related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt
written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of
its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever
occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as
applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with
respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach
of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or
Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the
related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller
shall pay, in lieu of the Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase Price
over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net
Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to
the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any
such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the
Repurchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer
Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such
Repurchase Price. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the
Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, a Request for Release, and the Custodian
shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the
Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all
instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without
recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the Seller
title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with
respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on
which the Repurchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The
Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such
repurchase and shall promptly notify the Trustee, Radian and the Rating Agencies
of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or
substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property
acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Repurchase Price as set forth in the
above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is

                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>

continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

      Section 2.04 Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of
purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or
Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date
by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the
Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized
officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the
requirements set forth in the definition of "Substitute Mortgage Loan" in this
Agreement; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of
purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period
beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause
the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days
from the date the breach was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the
Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the
manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its
agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after
receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan
satisfy the requirements of the fifth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two
Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Trustee
for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the
Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage
Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled
Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such
date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal
due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this
Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for
the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the
Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee
shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to
be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued
interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution
occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the
property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage
Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made
thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled
Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of
substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on
the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall
be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan (and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage
Loan), the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release to the Seller the
related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as
applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or
assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to
it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04
of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the
documents related

                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>

to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this
Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in
those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with
respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such
Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, Radian and the Rating Agencies.

      (a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans,
the Underlying Certificates and the other assets comprising the Trust Funds and,

other assets of REMIC II and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC II
Interests.

      (c) 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 II Regular Interests, and the other assets of REMIC III for the
benefit of the holders of the REMIC III Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the REMIC II Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the
other assets of REMIC III and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC III
Certificates.

      (d) 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

benefit of the holders of the Re-REMIC Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the Underlying Certificates and the other assets of REMIC IV and
declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of the holders of the Re-REMIC Certificates.

            (xi) The Depositor has not assigned any interest in the Underlying
Certificates or any distributions thereon, except as contemplated herein.

      The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.06(b) shall
survive the transfer and assignment of the Underlying Certificates. Upon
discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the affected Underlying Certificates, the
Depositor or the Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the other and to
the Certificateholders. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice
of breach, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects or, if
such breach cannot be cured, the Depositor shall repurchase from the Trustee the
Underlying Certificates as to which such breach exists if the Depositor is so
directed by the Holders of the Re-REMIC Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the
Re-REMIC Fund. Any such repurchase of an Underlying Certificate by the Depositor
shall be accomplished prior to the related Underlying Certificates Payment Date
in any calendar month at a price equal to the fair market value thereof
determined by the Trustee (at the expense of the Depositor) on the basis of the
highest bid received from a dealer active in the market for comparable
securities (which may be an affiliate of the Depositor) which stands ready to
purchase such Underlying Certificates at its bid price therefor following
solicitation by the Trustee of such bids from at least three such dealers. The
payment of the purchase price in connection with a repurchased Underlying
Certificate shall be considered a prepayment in full of such Underlying
Certificate and shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Re-REMIC
Certificate Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.06 hereof.
Upon deposit of such sums into the Re-REMIC Certificate Account, or substitution
for an Underlying Certificate as described below, such Underlying Certificate
shall be released to the Depositor, and the Trustee shall execute and

                                     - 53 -
<PAGE>

deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty as shall be reasonably requested and
provided by the Depositor to vest in the Depositor, or its designee or assignee,
title to the Underlying Certificate repurchased pursuant hereto.

                                  ARTICLE III
        Administration of the Trust Fund and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

      Section 3.01 Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.

      The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of
the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreements 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 each 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 each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform
and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each 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 Servicers' and Master
Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the
Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator
as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in
Section 6.05(a), and prepare any other information and statements required to be
forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile
the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the
Servicers pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

      The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and
administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall be
indemnified by the Master Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses
incurred by it in connection with such powers of attorney.

      The Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in
possession of the Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property
and the servicing thereof to the related Certificateholders, Radian, 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; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by
law, the Trustee shall not 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
to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee's actual costs.

      The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the
Master Servicer 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 Security Instrument;
(iii) obtain

                                     - 55 -
<PAGE>

a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or
remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise
available at law or equity.

      To the extent timely received by the Trustee, the Trustee agrees to
furnish to the Securities Administrator, no later than three Business Days prior
to each Distribution Date, the Underlying Certificates Payment Date Statement
and the Aggregate Collateral Report for the related Underlying Distribution
Date. In connection with its receipt of any payment on the Underlying
Certificates on any Underlying Certificates Payment Date, the Trustee shall
review the related Underlying Certificates Payment Date Statements and shall
confirm that the principal and interest payments received on such Underlying
Certificates Payment Date are equal to the amounts shown on the related
Underlying Certificates Payment Date Statements. If (i) the amount of any
payment on the Underlying Certificates varies from the amount reported to the
Trustee on the applicable Underlying Certificates Payment Date Statement for
such payment, (ii) the Trustee shall not have received a payment on the
Underlying Certificates by the close of business on the date on which such
payment was to be received by the Trustee or (iii) the Trustee shall gain actual
knowledge of any other default or event of default under and as defined in the
related Underlying Document, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and
the related Certificateholders (and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the
Securities Administrator) as to which situation in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)
exists, and shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.14.

      Section 3.02 REMIC-Related Covenants.

      For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of
such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall
comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related 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, the
Underlying Mortgage Loans or the Underlying Certificates 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 and Radian has received
a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee and Radian prepared at the expense of
the related Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup
Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee and Radian.

      Section 3.03 Monitoring of Servicers.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee
and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the
related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer's activities, the
Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the Servicer (or
similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to such
Servicer's compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event
that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be
terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should
be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of
an event that, unless cured, would

                                     - 56 -
<PAGE>

constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Depositor, Radian and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of
such notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice
of termination to the Servicer or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.

      (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders of
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Radian, shall enforce the obligations
of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event
that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement
with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it
is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of 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 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 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 or as otherwise provided in subsection (c) below.

      (c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
any Servicing Agreement (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 Servicer as a result of an event of default
by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of 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 servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully
and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer
Collection Account..

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

      (e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability
for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it
replaces.

      Section 3.04 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

                                     - 57 -
<PAGE>

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 3.05 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 X hereof, 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 Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates 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, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries,
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 and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and,
consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any
Servicer to) knowingly 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 related
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon
the Trust Funds (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 and
Radian have received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master
Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action would not cause any REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any
REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from
a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer
or any 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 the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master 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
any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is
likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the
performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent
contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in
the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

      Section 3.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

      To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement
of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan
is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the Servicing Agreement.

      Section 3.07 Release of Mortgage Files.

      (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to related
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required
under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable Servicer does
not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
D hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to
be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer
pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to the
applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall
request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full,
each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee
under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction
(or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

      (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement,
the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to
the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer
or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or
control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer. Such trust receipt shall
obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the
Custodian on behalf of the

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>

Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer
exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt
of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified,
the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

      Section 3.08 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer
to Be Held for Trustee.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent
required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or
Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to
be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master
Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are
collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan
shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders
subject to the Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Master
Servicer Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts
provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its
Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its
agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours, Radian and to related Certificateholders that are savings and
loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.

      (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee, Radian and the related
Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of
the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall
be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this
Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

      Section 3.09 Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

      (a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any
obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreements to maintain
or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the

                                     - 60 -
<PAGE>

provisions of the related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that
such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set
forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on
property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance.

      (b) Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the
Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the
Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do
so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such
cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the
distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the
Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

      Section 3.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

      The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf
of the Trustee, Radian and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance
Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to
realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master
Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in
respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the
Master Servicer Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts
realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the
related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need
not be so deposited (or remitted).

      Section 3.11 Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the
extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to
take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the
extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and
effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain
such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit
any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to,
cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in
effect at the

                                     - 61 -
<PAGE>

date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in
force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

      (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to
the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf
of the Trustee, Radian and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections
4.02 and 4.03.

      Section 3.12 Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies
and Documents.

      The Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain
possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its
Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and
custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the
Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other
documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come
into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

      Section 3.13 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

      The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required
under the related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all
in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

      Section 3.14 Compensation for the Master Servicer.

      The Master Servicer will be entitled to (i) the Master Servicing Fee;
provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Compensating
Interest payable by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 6.07 hereof, plus (ii) all income and gain realized from any investment
of funds in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer Collection Account,
pursuant to Article IV, for the performance of its activities hereunder.
Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment
charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any prepayment
premium or penalty) shall be retained by the applicable Servicer and

                                     - 62 -
<PAGE>

shall not be deposited in the Protected Account. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided
in this Agreement.

      Section 3.15 REO Property.

      (a) In the event the Mortgage Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property
in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders and Radian. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided
in the applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell any
REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant
to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the
applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and
to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with
the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net
income from foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

      (b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the Protected Account.

      (c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final
disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Monthly Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with

fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each
such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof,
(iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such
Servicing Officer to believe that any Servicer has failed to perform any of its
duties, responsibilities and obligations under its Servicing Agreement in all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default

      (b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder

expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the

      Section 3.17 Annual Independent Accountant's Servicing Report.

      If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly
serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its expense
shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, Radian, the Rating Agencies
and the Depositor on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006
to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such
firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master
Servicer's performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and
pooling and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this
Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for
Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such
firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been conducted
in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no
material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such
statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac
requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the
expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies but only if the Master Servicer has provided the Trustee with such
statement. If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master
Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are
susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

mutually agreed upon) with a copy of Mortgage

                                     - 64 -
<PAGE>

Pass-Through Certificate Distribution Report for such Distribution Date as an
exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in any year, the Securities Administrator
shall, in accordance with industry standards and only if instructed by the
Depositor, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Mortgage Fund,
if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15
Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year
thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with
a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent
accountant's servicing report of each Servicer (or, in the case of U.S. Central,
its sub-servicers) and annual statement of compliance of each Servicer (and, in
the case of U.S. Central, its sub-servicers), in each case, required to be
delivered pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, and, if applicable, the
annual independent accountant's servicing report and annual statement of
compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.16 and
3.17. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006, or such earlier filing date as may be
required by the Commission, and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension
Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, or such earlier

shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with
respect to the Mortgage Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer
Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant
to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants to the Securities
Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document
on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either
the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the Depositor of
written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the
Mortgage Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities
Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports
and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to
prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities
Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the Securities Administrator
will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with
respect to the Mortgage Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Fees and
expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with this
Section 3.18 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the duties and responsibilities of
the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer under this Section 3.18
with respect to the preparation, execution and filing of annual and periodic
reports to the Commission and the Master Servicer Certification shall be deemed
to apply only to the portion of the Trust consisting of the Mortgage Fund and
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, and the "issuer" or "issuing entity" for
purposes of all such reports shall be deemed to be the Mortgage Fund. In no
event shall the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
have any duty or responsibility to provide any information to the Commission
with respect to the Re-REMIC Fund, the Re-REMIC Certificates, the Underlying
Certificates, the Underlying Mortgage Loans or the servicing of the Underlying
Mortgage Loans, nor shall the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee have any obligation for, or incur any liability to any Person,
including the Seller, the Depositor or any Certificateholder, in respect of, any
failure to provide any information or report to the Commission with respect to
the Re-REMIC Fund; provided, however, for purposes of clarity, the Depositor and
the Seller agree that no such report or filing is required with respect to the
issuance of the Re-REMIC Certificates.

held harmless by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. of any loss, liability, cost, expense,
disbursement or advance (including, without limitation, any legal fees and
expenses) arising out of or resulting from the omission in any report or any
Master Servicer Certification filed with the Commission of any information
relating to the Re-REMIC Fund, including, without limitation, any information
relating to distributions on the Re-REMIC Certificates or the Underlying
Certificates, the Underlying Mortgage Loans or the servicing thereof; provided,

such report or filing is required with respect to the issuance of the Re-REMIC
Certificates.

      Section 3.19 [Reserved].

      Section 3.20 UCC.

      The Depositor shall inform the Trustee in writing of any Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on the Closing Date in
connection with the Trust with stamped recorded copies of such financing
statements to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt by the
Depositor. If directed by the Depositor in writing, the Trustee will file any
continuation statements solely at the expense of the Depositor. The Depositor

      Section 3.21 Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

      (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a
Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO
Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided however (i) that
such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as
of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore
exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related
Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter
reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter
again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which
case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the
related Fiscal Quarter.

      (b) If at any time the Company remits to the Master Servicer a payment for
deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the
Repurchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Company provides to the
Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of
such payment has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, then
the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan to the Company at
the request of the Company without recourse, representation or warranty and the
Company shall succeed to all of the Trustee's right, title and interest in and
to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Company
will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of
any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.

receipt, all collections of principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan and any
REO Property received by a Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance

are required to be withdrawn for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection
Account, and shall be held until required for such deposit. The income earned

the related Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, and the risk of
loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates resulting from such investments shall be borne by and

provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the amount of any such loss
in the Protected Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of
such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the
Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.

      (c) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement and subject
to this Article IV, on or before each Servicer Remittance Date, the related
Servicer shall withdraw or shall cause to be withdrawn from its Protected
Accounts and shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the Master
Servicer Collection Account amounts representing the following collections and

      (d) Withdrawals may be made from an Account only to make remittances as
provided in Section 4.01(c), 4.02 and 4.03; to reimburse the Master Servicer or
a Servicer for Monthly Advances which have been recovered by subsequent
collections from the related Mortgagor; to remove amounts deposited in error; to
remove fees, charges or other such amounts deposited on a temporary basis; or to
clear and terminate the account at the termination of the Mortgage Fund in
accordance with Section 10.01. As provided in Sections 4.01(a) and 4.02(b)
certain amounts otherwise due to the Servicers may be retained by them and need
not be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account.

      Section 4.02 Master Servicer Collection Account.

Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

      (c) The amount at any time credited to the Master Servicer Collection
Account may be invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, in Permitted
Investments as directed by Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall
mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held
until, the next succeeding Distribution Account Deposit Date. Any and all

distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Master Servicer
Collection Account. The risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the

Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Master Servicer
Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such

      Section 5.01 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates.

      (a) The Depository, the Depositor and the Trustee have entered into a
Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Depository Agreement").
Except for the Residual Certificates, the Private Certificates (which are also
Physical Certificates) and the Individual Certificates and as provided in
Subsection 5.01(b), the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to a successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of
registration of such Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv)
the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of such Certificate
Owners of the respective Class of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and
Re-REMIC Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of the related
Certificateholders 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; and (v) the Trustee may rely
and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.

      The Residual Certificates and the Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class I-B-6
Certificates are initially Physical Certificates. If at any time the Holders of
all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Trustee
cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Trustee and the Depositor
will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to
accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded.

      All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates and any Global 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 it represents or of
brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's
normal procedures.

      (b) 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 within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall request that the Depository notify all
Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability
of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall issue the definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor
the Trustee shall be

                                     - 74 -
<PAGE>

liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

      (c) (i) REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular Interests,
which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as
the "regular interests" in REMIC I and have the initial principal amounts and
accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth in this
Section 5.01(c)(i) and (y) the Class R-I Interest, which is hereby designated as
the single "residual interest" in REMIC I (each of the foregoing as designated
below).

Regular Interests, in each case from the related Subgroup, first, to the related
REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation "A," so that the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal
to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup over (y) the Current Principal Amount of
the Senior Certificates in such Subgroup (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of
principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the
REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, any remaining
principal in each Subgroup to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending with
the designation "ZZZ" (provided that a portion of the remaining principal equal
to the Class I-PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount attributable to the
Discount Mortgage Loans will be distributed to REMIC I Regular Interest PO).
Realized Losses from each Subgroup shall be applied after all distributions have
been made on each Distribution Date, first, to the related REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation "A," so that the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of
(x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Subgroup over (y) the Current Principal Amount of the Senior
Certificates in the related Subgroup (except that if any such excess is a larger
number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized
Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I
Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, any remaining Realized
Losses from each Subgroup shall be allocated to the related REMIC I Regular
Interests ending with the designation "ZZZ" (except that if a Realized Loss is
recognized with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion of
such Realized Loss will be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest PO).

            (ii) REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC II Regular
Interests, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby
designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II and have the initial principal

      (1)   The Class I-A-4 Certificates do not have an initial principal
            amount. The Class I-A-4 Certificates have an initial Notional Amount
            of $17,400,000.00 and for any subsequent Distribution Date, the
            Class I-A-4 Certificates will have a Notional Amount equal to the
            Current Principal Amount of the Class I-A-3 Certificates as of such
            Distribution Date . For federal income tax purposes, the Class I-A-4
            Certificates will have a Notional Amount equal to the Uncertificated
            Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-3.

      (2)   The Class I-A-6 Certificates will bear interest at a Pass-Through
            Rate equal to approximately 2.800% per annum for the first
            Distribution Date, and thereafter at an adjustable Pass-Through Rate
            equal to 0.4000% per annum plus LIBOR, subject to a minimum rate of
            0.4000% per annum and a maximum rate equal to 8.000% per annum.

      (3)   The Class I-A-7 Certificates will bear interest at a Pass-Through
            Rate equal to approximately 5.200% per annum for the first
            Distribution Date, and thereafter at an adjustable Pass-Through Rate
            equal to 7.600% per annum minus LIBOR, subject to a minimum rate of
            0.0000% per annum and a maximum rate equal to 7.6000% per annum.

      (4)   The Class I-A-7 Certificates do not have an initial principal
            amount. The Class I-A-7 Certificates have an initial Notional Amount
            of $15,731,068.14 and for any subsequent Distribution Date, the
            Class I-A-7 Certificates will have a Notional Amount equal to the
            Current Principal Amount of the Class I-A-6 Certificates as of such
            Distribution Date. For federal income tax purposes, the Class I-A-7
            Certificates will have a Notional Amount equal to the Uncertificated
            Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-6.

      (5)   The Class I-R Certificate will represent ownership of the Class R-I
            Interest, Class R-II Interest and Class R-III Interest, each of
            which is designated herein as the sole class of residual interest in
            the related REMIC.

      (6)   The Class B Certificates will each bear interest at a variable
            pass-through rate equal to the weighted average of 5.500% and 8.000%
            per annum, weighted on the basis of the aggregate Scheduled
            Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans included in Subgroup 1 and
            Subgroup 2, respectively (other than the PO Percentage of the
            Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans), minus the
            aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Subgroup 1 and Subgroup 2
            Certificates other than the Class I-PO Certificates, respectively.
            The Pass-Through Rate for the initial Interest Accrual Period is
            5.72330554% per annum. For federal income tax purposes, however, the
            Class B Certificates will bear interest at a variable Pass-Through
            Rate equal to the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on
            REMIC II Regular Interests I-B-1, I-B-2, I-B-3, I-B-4, I-B-5 and
            I-B-6, weighted on the basis of the Uncertificated Principal Balance
            of each such REMIC II Regular Interest immediately preceding the
            related Distribution Date.

            (iv) REMIC IV will be evidenced by (x) the Re-REMIC Certificates
(other than the Class II-R Certificates) which are hereby designated as the
"regular interests" in REMIC IV and have the initial principal amounts and
accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth in this
section 5.01(c)(iv) and (y) the Class II-R Certificate, which is hereby
designated as the single "residual interest" in REMIC IV (each of the foregoing
as designated below). The Classes of the Re-REMIC Certificates shall have the
following designations, initial principal amounts and Pass-Through Rates.

      (d) Solely for purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
regulations, the Distribution Date immediately following the maturity date for
the Mortgage Loan or the Underlying Certificate, as applicable, with the latest
maturity date in the Trust Fund has been designated as the "latest possible
maturity date" for the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests,
the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Re-REMIC Certificates, as applicable.

         (e) With respect to each Distribution Date, each Class of Certificates
shall accrue interest during the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect
to each Distribution Date and each such Class of Certificates, interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months,
based upon the respective Pass-Through Rate set forth, or determined as
provided, above and the Current Principal Amount (or Notional Amount in the case
of the Interest Only Certificates) of such Class applicable to such Distribution
Date.

      (f) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in
Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 or A-6, as applicable. On original issuance,
the Trustee shall sign, countersign and shall deliver them at the direction of
the Depositor. Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates of any Class,
the Trustee may sign and countersign temporary Certificates that are printed,
lithographed or typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates of
such Class, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers or authorized signatories
executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
such Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will
cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall sign and countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a like
aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations for such Class, of
Definitive Certificates of the same Class. Until so exchanged, such temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as
Definitive Certificates.

Class on the Closing Date, and (iv) in the case of the Re-REMIC Certificates
(other than the Class II-R Certificates) $100,000 and in each case increments of
$1.00 in excess thereof. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and

Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class I-R
Certificates and Class II-R Certificates shall each be issued in certificated
fully-registered form, in the denomination of $100. Each Class of Global
Certificates, if any, shall be issued in fully registered form in minimum dollar
denominations of $50,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof,

the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and countersign (i) in the case of
each Class of Class I-A Certificates and the Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2 and I-B-3
Certificates, the Certificate in the entire Current Principal Amount of the
respective Class and (ii) in the case of each Class of Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5
and Class I-B-6 Certificates, Individual Certificates all in an aggregate
principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of each such
respective Class on the Closing Date. The Certificates referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) and if at any time there are to be Global Certificates, the Global
Certificates shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Depository or pursuant
to the Depository's instructions, shall be delivered by the Depositor on behalf
of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian. The Trustee shall
sign the Certificates by facsimile or manual signature and countersign them by
manual signature on behalf of the Trustee by one or more authorized signatories,
each of whom shall be Responsible Officers of the Trustee or its agent. A
Certificate bearing the manual and facsimile signatures of individuals who were
the authorized signatories of the Trustee or its agent at the time of issuance
shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such positions prior to the delivery of such Certificate.

      (h) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement,
or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate the
manually executed countersignature of the Trustee or its agent, and such
countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered

hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the
Closing Date. All Certificates issued thereafter shall be dated the date of
their countersignature.

      (i) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup" day of each
REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

      (j) For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a tax year that
is a calendar year and shall report income on an accrual basis.

      (k) The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause each REMIC to timely
elect to be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any
inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of any
Trust established hereby shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the
validity of such elections.

      (l) The following legend shall be placed on the Residual Certificates,
whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any
such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:

      Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

      (a) The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office a separate
Certificate Register for each of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and
Re-REMIC Certificates, respectively in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration
of the related Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the related
Certificates as herein provided.

      (b) Subject to Subsection 5.01(a) and, in the case of any Global
Certificate or Physical Certificate upon the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee
shall sign, countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest, but bearing a different number.

      (c) By acceptance of an Individual Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Certificate acknowledges
the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth in the Securities
Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein. In addition to the provisions of Subsection 5.02(h), the following
restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of
transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the
form of an Individual Certificate:

            (i) The Trustee shall register the transfer of an Individual

provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to
its QIB status.

            (ii) The Trustee shall register the transfer of any Individual
Certificate if (x) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the
Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor; and
(y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment
Letter (and the Trustee shall be fully protected in so doing), provided that, if
based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the
delivery of (x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable laws, the Trustee shall as a condition of the registration of any
such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal
opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual
Certificate as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.

      (d) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), so long as a Global Certificate of such
Class is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by holders of
Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take delivery in the
form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be made only in
accordance with this Subsection 5.02(d) and in accordance with the rules of the
Depository:

            (ii) In the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global
Certificates being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form

compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(i).

            (iii) In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being
transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial
interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Trustee shall register such
transfer if the transferee has provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A Certificate
or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

            (iv) No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or
registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a
Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest
in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee
shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in
the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.

      (e) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), an exchange of a beneficial interest in
a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of
such Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class
for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class and an
exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for another
Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class (in each case, whether or
not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the
case of the Global Certificate of such Class, so long as such Certificate is
outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository) may be made only in
accordance with this Subsection 5.02(e) and in accordance with the rules of the
Depository:

            (i) A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a
Class may at any time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual
Certificate or Certificates of such Class.

            (ii) A holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a

            (iii) A holder of an Individual Certificate of a Class may exchange
such Certificate for an equal aggregate principal amount of Individual
Certificates of such Class in different authorized denominations without any
certification.

      (f) (i) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual
Certificate of a Class for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such
Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall cancel such Individual Certificate
and shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed
to the applicable Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule
affixed to the Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in
its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such
exchange or transfer and an increase in the certificate balance of the Global
Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate
exchanged or transferred therefor.

            (ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of
such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall (or shall request the

of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer
thereof.

      (g) The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Certificate
issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of
a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate.

      (h) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this
Section 5.02, the holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange
the same in whole or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal to the
minimum authorized denomination set forth in Section 5.01(g) above or any
integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together
with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and
substance to the Trustee in the case of transfer and a written request for
exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository,
cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Trustee in writing of a
request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual
Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or
exchange, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days of such request made at
the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust
Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of
exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case
of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the
transferee or holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or
Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Fractional Undivided
Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be
requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the

<PAGE>

      (i) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that no Certificate
may be exchanged for new Certificates unless the original Fractional Undivided
Interest represented by each such new Certificate (i) is at least equal to the
minimum authorized denomination or (ii) is acceptable to the Depositor as
indicated to the Trustee in writing. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall sign and countersign and the Trustee
shall deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.

      (j) If the Trustee so requires, every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer, with a signature guarantee, in form satisfactory
to the Trustee, duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing.

      (k) No service charge 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.

      (l) The Trustee shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for transfer or
exchange but shall retain such Certificates in accordance with its standard
retention policy or for such further time as is required by the record retention

      Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

      (a) 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 (and with respect
to any Class I-A-3 Certificates, to Radian) such security or indemnity as it may
require to save it harmless, and (iii) the Trustee has not received notice that
such Certificate has been acquired by a third Person, the Trustee shall sign,
countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
Fractional Undivided Interest but in each case bearing a different number. The
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall thereupon be canceled of
record by the Trustee and shall be of no further effect and evidence no rights.

      (b) Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, 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 duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, 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.

      Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Depositor, the Trustee or Radian and any agent of the Depositor, the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose

                                     - 84 -
<PAGE>

name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, Radian or any agent of
the Depositor, the Trustee or Radian shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. No Certificate shall be deemed duly presented for a transfer effective
on any Record Date unless the Certificate to be transferred is presented no
later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding such Record
Date.

      Section 5.05 Transfer Restrictions on Residual Certificates.

      (a) Residual Certificates, or interests therein, may not be transferred
without the prior express written consent of the Tax Matters Person and the
Depositor. As a prerequisite to such consent, the proposed transferee must
provide the Tax Matters Person, the Depositor and the Trustee with an affidavit
that the proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee (and an affidavit that it
is a U.S. Person) as provided in Subsection 5.05(b).

      (b) No transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate
(including a beneficial interest therein) may be made unless, prior to the
transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed
transferee (including the initial purchasers thereof) delivers to the Tax
Matters Person, the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E stating, among other things, that as of the date of such
transfer (i) such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that (ii) such
transferee is not acquiring such Residual Certificate for the account of any
person who is not a Permitted Transferee. The Tax Matters Person shall not
consent to a transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that
any statement made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is
not true. Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, such transfer, sale
or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Holder of a Residual
Certificate for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the
receipt of distributions thereon. If any purported transfer shall be in
violation of the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(b), then the prior Holder
thereof shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b), be restored to all rights and
obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported
transfer. None of the Trustee, the Tax Matters Person or the Depositor shall be
under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is not permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b) or for making
payments due on such Residual Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or
taking any other action with respect to such purported Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the written affidavit referred to above
was received with respect to such transfer, and the Tax Matters Person, the
Trustee and the Depositor, as applicable, had no knowledge that it was untrue.
The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee under this
Subsection 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such
Residual Certificate. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate, by acceptance
thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of
this Subsection 5.05(b) and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary
(whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Tax
Matters Person or the Depositor to ensure that the Residual Certificates are not
transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted

                                     - 85 -
<PAGE>

Transferee and that any transfer of such Residual Certificates will not cause
the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC.

      (c) The Residual Certificates (including a beneficial interest therein)
may not be purchased by or transferred to any person who is not a United States
Person.

      (d) By accepting a Residual Certificate, the purchaser thereof agrees to
be a Tax Matters Person, and appoints the Securities Administrator to act as its
agent with respect to all matters concerning the tax obligations of the Trust.

      Section 5.06 Restrictions on Transferability of Certificates.

      (a) No offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of
any Certificate shall be made by any Holder thereof unless registered under the
Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws is
available and the prospective transferee (other than the Depositor) of such
Certificate signs and delivers to the Trustee an Investment Letter, if the
transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor, in the form set forth as
Exhibit F-l hereto, or a Rule 144A Certificate, if the transferee is a QIB, in
the form set forth as Exhibit F-2 hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the
transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate
that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in
the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class
provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such
representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are
sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer of
any Certificate to a transferee other than a QIB, the Trustee may require an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such transaction is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund.

      (b) The Private Certificates shall each bear a Securities Legend.

      Section 5.07 ERISA Restrictions.

      (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), no Residual Certificates
or Private Certificates may be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf
of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the proposed transferee
provides either (i) the Trustee, with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
(upon which they may rely) which is satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion
will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
the Securities Administrator, that the purchase of such Certificates by or on
behalf of such Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement or (ii) in the case of the Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class
I-B-6 Certificates, a representation or certification to the Trustee (upon which
the Trustee is authorized to rely) to the effect that the proposed transfer and
holding of such a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation

                                     - 86 -
<PAGE>

of the Trust: (I) will not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered under an individual or
class prohibited transaction exemption including but not limited to Department
of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 84-14 (Class Exemption for
Plan Asset Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset
Managers); PTE 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Bank
Collective Investment Funds); PTE 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions
Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts), PTE 95-60 (Class
Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company General
Accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions
Determined by In-House Asset Managers and (II) will not subject the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.

      (b) Any Person acquiring an interest in a Global Certificate which is a
Private Certificate, by acquisition of such Certificate, shall be deemed to have
represented to the Trustee that in the case of the Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and
Class I-B-6 Certificates, either: (i) it is not acquiring an interest in such
Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan
or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, or (ii) the transfer and holding of an interest in such
Certificate to that Person and the subsequent servicing, management and
operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited
transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited
transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, PTE 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE
90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation
in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.

      (c) Each beneficial owner of a Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2 or Class I-B-3
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 or investing with "Plan Assets", (ii) it has
acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction
Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (the "Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of

Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it

such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60,

attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the
provisions of Subsections (a) or (b) above shall be void ab initio and such
Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior
permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of
such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported

transfer. The Trustee shall have no liability for transfer of any such Global
Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or
among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the
transfer restrictions set forth herein.

      Section 5.08 Rule 144A Information.

      For so long as any Certificates are outstanding and are "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the
Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such
Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a holder,
upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, the information
required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Depositor shall update such
information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming
false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure
that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such
Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.

      Section 5.09 Restrictions on Transferability of Re-REMIC Certificates.

      (a) Each Class of Re-REMIC Certificates offered and sold in reliance on
Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global
Certificates (the "Rule 144A Global Certificates"), which shall be deposited on
behalf of the purchasers of the Book-Entry Certificates represented thereby with
the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the
Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed and authenticated by
the Trustee (or any duly appointed Authenticating Agent). The aggregate
principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Certificates may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate
Registrar and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

      (b) Each class of Re-REMIC Certificates offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially, and during the "40 day distribution
compliance period" described below remain, in the form of temporary Global
Certificates (the "Regulation S Temporary Global Certificates"), which shall be
deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Book-Entry Certificates represented
thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the
name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the investors'
respective accounts at the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg, duly
executed and authenticated by the Trustee (or any duly appointed Authentication
Agent) as hereinafter provided.

      (c) The "40 day distribution compliance period" (as defined in Regulation
S) shall terminate upon the later of (i) 40 days after the Closing Date and (ii)
receipt by the Trustee of a written certificate from the Depository, together
with copies of certificates from the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream,
Luxembourg, certifying that they have received certification of non-United
States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificates (except to the extent of any
beneficial owners thereof who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership
interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate, all as contemplated by Section
5.09(f)). Following the termination of the 40 day distribution

                                     - 88 -
<PAGE>

compliance period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificates shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in permanent Global
Certificates (the "Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates"), which will be
deposited with the Trustee, as custodian, and registered in the name of a
nominee of the Depository. Simultaneously with the authentication of the
Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates, the Trustee shall cancel the
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificates. The aggregate principal amount of
the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificates and the Regulation S Permanent
Global Certificates may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar and the Depository
or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as
hereinafter provided.

      (d) Each Global Certificate shall represent such of the outstanding
Book-Entry Certificates as shall be specified therein and each shall provide
that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Book-Entry
Certificates from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Book-Entry Certificates represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any
endorsement of a Global Certificate to reflect the amount of any increase or
decrease in the amount of outstanding Book-Entry Certificates represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee, or by the custodian at the direction of
the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the holder thereof as
required by Section 5.09(f).

      (e) Except as set forth in Section 5.09(f), the Global Certificates may be
transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depository
or to a successor of the Depository or its nominee.

      (f) (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Certificates or beneficial
interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with
this Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor, which shall
include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the
extent required by the Securities Act. Beneficial interests in a Global
Certificate may be transferred to persons who take delivery thereof in the form
of a beneficial interest in the same Global Certificate in accordance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in the legend referred to in Section 5.09(g).
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates to persons required
or permitted to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in another
Global Certificate shall be permitted as follows:

      (A) Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. If,
      at any time, an Owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global
      Certificate deposited with the Depository (or the Trustee as custodian for
      the Depository) wishes to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global
      Certificate to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery
      thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
      Certificate, such Owner shall, subject to compliance with the procedures
      described in the next sentence of this Section 5.09(f)(B), exchange or
      cause the exchange of such beneficial interest for an equivalent
      beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon receipt by
      the Trustee of (1) instructions given from an Agent Member directing the
      Trustee to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the
      Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial
      interest in the Rule 144A Global

                                     - 89 -

      Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order containing information
      regarding the participant account of the Depository and the Euroclear
      Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg account to be credited with such
      increase, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F-4 given by the
      transferring Owner stating that the transfer of such interest has been
      made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global
      Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904
      of Regulation S, then the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall
      instruct the Depository to reduce or cause to be reduced the outstanding
      principal amount of the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate and to
      increase or cause to be increased the outstanding principal amount of the
      applicable Regulation S Global Certificate by the outstanding principal
      amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to
      be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the
      person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the
      Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the outstanding
      principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or
      cause to be debited, from the account of the person making such exchange
      or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate
      that is being exchanged or transferred.

      (B) Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate. If,
      at any time an Owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
      Certificate deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee, as
      custodian for the Depository, wishes to transfer its interest in such
      Regulation S Global Certificate to a person who is required or permitted
      to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule
      144A Global Certificate, such Owner shall exchange or cause the exchange
      of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a
      Rule 144A Global Certificate as provided in this Section 5.09(f)(B). Upon
      receipt by the Trustee of (1) instructions from the Euroclear Operator or
      Clearstream, Luxembourg, if applicable, and the Depository directing the
      Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a
      beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the
      beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged
      and containing information regarding the participant account with the
      Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) a written order
      containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository
      and (3) if such transfer is being effected prior to the expiration of the
      "40-day distribution compliance period" (as defined by Regulation S), a
      certificate in the form of Exhibit H-2 attached hereto given by the Owner
      of such beneficial interest, then the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar,
      shall instruct the Depository to reduce or cause to be reduced the
      outstanding principal amount of such Regulation S Global Certificate and
      to increase or cause to be increased the outstanding principal amount of
      the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate by the outstanding principal
      amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate
      to be exchanged, and the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall instruct
      the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be
      credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a
      beneficial interest in the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate equal
      to the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of such Regulation S
      Global Certificate and to debit or cause to be debited from the account of
      the person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Regulation
      S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

            (ii) Transfer and Exchange from Definitive Certificates to
Definitive Certificates. If Definitive Certificates are presented by a
Certificateholder to the Trustee (or its designated Certificate Registrar) with
a request to register the transfer of Definitive Certificates in the form of
other Definitive Certificates, the Trustee (or its designated Certificate
Registrar) shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested;
provided, however, that the Certificateholder shall (x) satisfy the requirements
of Section 5.09 and (y) make the representations, acknowledgments and agreements
in the certifications attached hereto as Exhibits F-3 and F-4.

            (iii) Transfer and Exchange of a Definitive Certificate for a
Book-Entry Certificate in a Rule 144A Global Certificate or a Regulation S
Global Certificate. The transfer and exchange of a Definitive Certificate for a
beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate or Regulation S Global
Certificate shall be effected in accordance with this Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor. If, at any time a
holder of a Definitive Certificate wishes to transfer its interest in such
Certificate to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate or
Regulation S Global Certificate, such Certificateholder shall exchange or cause
the exchange of such Definitive Certificate for an equivalent beneficial
interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate as
provided in this Section. Upon receipt by the Trustee of (1) the Definitive
Certificates for registration of transfer or exchange duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by such Certificateholder or by his attorney, duly
authorized in writing, (2) the instructions from the Depository, directing the
Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate or Regulation S Global
Certificate equal to the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged, such
instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the
Depository to be credited with such increase, and (3) a written order containing
information regarding the participant account of the Depository, then the
Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall instruct the Depository to increase or
cause to be increased the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Rule
144A Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate by the outstanding
principal amount of the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged, and the Trustee,
as Certificate Registrar, shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such
increase, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Rule 144A
Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the outstanding
principal amount of such Definitive Certificate being transferred.

      Each transferee of any Definitive Certificate pursuant to this Section
shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties listed in
Section 5.09(f) hereof.

            (iv) Transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate or Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for a Definitive

nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate or Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate, then the

with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository
and the custodian, cause the outstanding principal amount of Rule 144A Global
Certificates or Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates, as applicable, to be
reduced accordingly and, following such reduction, the Trustee (or any duly
appointed Authenticating Agent) shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee
a Definitive Certificate in the appropriate principal amount.

      Definitive Certificates issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Certificate in
a Rule 144A Global Certificate or Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate, as
applicable, pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from
its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee (or
its designated Certificate Registrar). The Trustee (or its designated
Certificate Registrar) shall deliver such Definitive Certificates to the persons
in whose names such Certificates are so registered. Following any such issuance
of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee (or its designated Certificate
Registrar) shall instruct the Depository to reduce or cause to be reduced the
outstanding principal amount of the applicable Global Certificate to reflect the
transfer.

            (v) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Certificates.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Global Certificate may
not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the
Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another

            and any shortfall being allocated to such Class and Radian in
            proportion to the amount of the Premium Distribution Amount that
            would have been distributed in the absence of such shortfall;

            second, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO
            Certificates), on a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest
            on such Classes for such Distribution Date. As described below,
            Accrued Certificate Interest on the Senior Certificates (other than
            the Class I-PO Certificates) is subject to reduction in the event of
            certain Net Interest Shortfalls allocable thereto;

            third, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO
            Certificates), on a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest
            thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to
            the extent of remaining Available Funds; and

            fourth, concurrently as follows:

                  (I)   to the extent of the remaining Available Funds related
                        to Subgroup 1, to the Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class
                        I-A-3, Class I-A-5, Class I-A-8 and Class I-R
                        Certificates, as principal, the Subgroup 1 Principal
                        Distribution Amount in the order set forth in Section
                        6.01(g) below, in reduction of the Current Principal
                        Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts
                        thereof have been reduced to zero; and

                  (II)  to the extent of the remaining Available Funds related
                        to Subgroup 2, to the Class I-A-6 Certificates, as
                        principal, the Subgroup 2 Principal Distribution Amount,
                        in reduction of the Current

                                     - 96 -
<PAGE>

                        Principal Amount, until the Current Principal Amount
                        thereof has been reduced to zero.

            fifth, to the Class I-PO Certificates, the Class I-PO Certificate
            Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the
            extent of the remaining Available Funds, until the Current Principal
            Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

            sixth, to the Class I-PO Certificates, the Class I-PO Certificate
            Deferred Amount, provided, that (i) on any Distribution Date,
            distributions pursuant to this priority sixth shall not exceed the
            excess, if any, of (x) Available Funds remaining after giving effect
            to distributions pursuant to priority first through fifth above over
            (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such
            Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining
            undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all classes of
            Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions
            shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class I-PO
            Certificates and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of
            the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the
            Cross-Over Date; and

            seventh, to the Insurer, any amounts due and owing to the Insurer
      under this Agreement.

            (ii) On each Distribution Date on or prior to the Cross-Over Date,
an amount equal to the remaining Available Funds after the distributions in (i)
above will be distributed sequentially in the following order, to the Class
I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class I-B-6
Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order:
(a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any
Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous
Distribution Dates and (c) such class's Allocable Share for such Distribution
Date, in each case, to the extent of the remaining Available Funds.

            (iii) If, after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities
first, second and third of clause (i) above on any Distribution Date, the
remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup 1 is less than the sum of the
Subgroup 1 and Class I-PO Principal Distribution Amount, or the remaining
Available Funds related to Subgroup 2 is less than the Subgroup 2 Principal
Distribution Amount, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining funds
will be distributed to the related Senior Certificates (other than the Interest
Only Certificates) on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding any
reduction in principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates pursuant to
this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class I-PO Certificates shall be
reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between
(i) principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates in accordance with
priority sixth of clause (i) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to
the Class I-PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph. The Class
I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class I-PO Certificates with respect to
any Distribution Date will be added to the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred
Amount.

      Notwithstanding the priorities relating to distributions of principal
among the Insured Certificates described above, on any Distribution Date,
distributions in respect of principal on the Insured Certificates will be
allocated among the Holders of the Insured Certificates as set forth in Section
6.11. On each Distribution Date on which amounts are available for distributions
in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates
(including, for purposes of this paragraph, the portion of any Insured Payment
allocable to principal) the aggregate amount available for such distributions
will be rounded upward by the Rounding Amount. Such rounding will be
accomplished on the first Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction
of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates are made by
withdrawing from the Rounding Account the Rounding Amount for deposit into the
Distribution Account, and such Rounding Amount will be added to the amount that
is available for distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of
the Insured Certificates. On each succeeding Distribution Date on which
distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured
Certificates are made, first, the aggregate amount available for distribution in
reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates will be
applied to repay the Rounding Amount withdrawn from the Rounding Account on the
prior Distribution Date and then, the remainder of such allocable amount, if
any, will be similarly rounded upward through another withdrawal from the
Rounding Account and such determined Rounding Amount will be added to the amount
that is available for distribution in reduction of the Current Principal Amount
of the Insured Certificates. Any funds remaining in the Rounding Account after
the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates is reduced to zero
shall be distributed to the Class I-R Certificateholders.

      (b) On each Distribution Date, any Available Funds remaining after payment
of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, will
be distributed to the Class I-R Certificates; provided, that if on any
Distribution Date there are any Available Funds remaining after payment of
interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto,
such amounts will be distributed to the other Classes of Senior Certificates,
pro rata, based upon their Current Principal Amounts, until all amounts due to
all Classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before any amounts
are distributed to the Class I-R Certificates.

      (c) "Pro rata" distributions among Classes of Certificates will be made in
proportion to the then Current Principal Amount of such Classes.

      (d) No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any
Class of Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal
Amount or Notional Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.

      (e) If on any Distribution Date the Available Funds for the Senior
Certificates is less than the Accrued Certificate Interest on the related Senior
Certificates for such Distribution Date prior to reduction for Net Interest
Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be
allocated among the holders of each Class of Senior Certificates (other than the
Class I-PO Certificates) in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued
Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of
such Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such Distribution Date.
In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls will

                                     - 98 -
<PAGE>

constitute unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest and will be distributable to
holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on
subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available Funds
after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so
carried forward will not bear interest. Shortfalls in interest payments will not
be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Master Servicer or
otherwise, except to the extent of applicable Compensating Interest Payments.

      (f) The expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid by each of the
REMICs, to the extent that such expenses relate to the assets of each of such
respective REMICs, and all other expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid
pro rata by each of the REMICs.

      (g) On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup
1 Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed
as principal as follows:

      (1)   to the Class I-R Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal
            Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been
            reduced to zero;

      (2)   to the Class I-A-5 Certificates and Class I-A-8 Certificates, the
            Lockout Principal Amount, concurrently on a pro rata basis based on
            the Current Principal Amount of each such Class, in reduction of the
            Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal
            Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;

      (3)   an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $17,400 and (b) the balance of
            the Subgroup 1 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after the
            distributions, if any, described under clause (2) above, to the
            Class I-A-3 Certificates, for each Distribution Date commencing on
            the Distribution Date in February 2008, in reduction of the Current
            Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof
            has been reduced to zero;

      (4)   to the Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2 and Class I-A-3 Certificates,
            sequentially, in that order, in each case in reduction of the
            Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount
            thereof has been reduced to zero; and

      (5)   to the Class I-A-5 Certificates and Class I-A-8 Certificates,
            concurrently on a pro rata basis based on the Current Principal
            Amount of each such class, in reduction of the Current Principal
            Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have
            been reduced to zero.

      (h) On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup
2 Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed
as principal, to the Class I-A-6 Certificates, in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been
reduced to zero

      (i) In addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any
Subsequent Recoveries from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such
funds into the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02. If,
after taking into account such Subsequent

                                     - 99 -
<PAGE>

Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Current Principal Amount
of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to
which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.03. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will
be applied to sequentially increase the Current Principal Amount of the
Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates
with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses
previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03.
Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of
current 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 Current Principal Amount of each Subordinate
Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Fractional Undivided
Interest.

      Section 6.02 Distributions on the Re-REMIC Certificates.

      (a) On each Distribution Date, based on the statement for such
Distribution Date furnished by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section
6.05(c) hereof, the Trustee shall distribute the interest portion of Re-REMIC
Available Funds to the Certificateholders in the following order of priority:

            (i) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the
interest portion of net Re-REMIC Available Funds to the Class II-A-1, Class
II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4 and Class II-A-5 Certificateholders, pro
rata, in an amount equal to one month's interest accrued during the related
Interest Accrual Period at the related Pass-Through Rate on the then outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates for such Distribution Date
plus any interest thereon remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Dates;

      (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the principal
portion of Available Funds to the Class II-A Certificateholders in the following
order of priority:

            (i) to the Class II-A-5 Re-REMIC Certificates, in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero, in an amount equal to the Re-REMIC Lockout
Principal Amount; and

            (ii) to the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4
and II-A-5 Certificates, in the following manner and order of priority:

                  (a) first, to the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2
            Certificates, concurrently on a pro rata basis, based on their
            respective Certificate Principal Balances, in reduction of the
            Certificate Principal Balances of such Classes until reduced to
            zero;

                  (b) second, to the Class II-A-3 Certificates and Class II-A-4
            Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in each case in reduction
            of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class until reduced to
            zero; and

                                    - 100 -
<PAGE>

                  (c) third, to the Class II-A-5 Certificates, in reduction of
            the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until reduced to zero.

      Section 6.03 Allocation of Losses.

      (a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that
occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month, based on information
provided by the Servicer.

      (b) Realized Losses with respect to a Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a
pro rata basis between the I-PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan and the Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled Principal
Balance.

      (c) On each Distribution Date, the I-PO Percentage of the principal
portion of any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan and any Class I-PO
Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Principal Only Certificates
until the Current Principal Amount of those Principal Only Certificates is
reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Cross-Over
Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to a class of Principal Only
Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any related
Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall and all amounts previously allocated in
respect of such Realized Losses or Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall and not
distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the Class I-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount." To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution
Date through the Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect of the Class I-PO
Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class I-PO Certificates will be made in
accordance with priority sixth of Section 6.01(a)(i). No interest will accrue on
the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through
the Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any
distributions in respect of any Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such
Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the
operation of the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Cross-Over
Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and applicable Realized
Losses and Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Principal
Only Certificates will not be added to, the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred
Amount.

      (d) The Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first,
to the Class I-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates; third,
to the Class I-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates; fifth,
to the Class I-B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, in
each case until the Current Principal Amount of such class has been reduced to
zero. The applicable Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Excess
Loss for any Distribution Date will be allocated pro rata among all outstanding
Classes of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (other than the Principal Only
Certificates and the Interest Only Certificates) based on their Current
Principal Amounts. Once the Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero,
the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans (if any) will be
allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining Senior Certificates (other than
the Interest Only Certificates).

                                    - 101 -
<PAGE>

      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (d), no such allocation of any
Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the
reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to
all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance
of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such
Distribution Date (such limitation, the "Loss Allocation Limit").

      (f) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class (other than
the Interest Only Certificates) in proportion to their respective Current
Principal Amounts. Any allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by
reducing the Current Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related
Distribution Date.

      (g) Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the
month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of
the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such
Distribution Date.

      (h) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
determine and notify the Trustee in writing of the Subordinate Certificate
Writedown Amount. Any Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a
corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the
Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the Subordinate Certificates,
in the reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and
after the Cross-Over Date, the Senior Certificates, in accordance with
priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on such
Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution
Date.

      (i) Any Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates in proportion to the respective amounts of
Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the
absence of such Net Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date. The interest
portion of any Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans occurring on
or prior to the Cross-Over Date will not be allocated among any Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Available Funds on the
related Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Subordinate
Certificates in right of distribution, such Realized Losses on the Mortgage
Loans will be borne by the Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their
numerical Class designations. Following the Cross-Over Date, the interest
portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Senior
Certificates to the extent not covered, with respect to the Class I-A-3
Certificates, by the Reserve Fund.

      (j) Any Deficient Valuation will on each Distribution Date be allocated
solely to the Subordinate Certificates until the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination
Date. The Bankruptcy Loss Amount and the related coverage levels may be reduced
or modified upon written confirmation from the related Rating Agencies that such
reduction or modification will not adversely affect the then current ratings of
the Senior Certificates by the related Rating Agencies (determined

                                    - 102 -
<PAGE>

without regard to the Policy). Such reduction may adversely affect the coverage
provided by subordination with respect to Bankruptcy Losses. Any Fraud Loss will
on each Distribution Date be allocated solely to the Subordinate Certificates
until the Fraud Coverage Termination Date. Any Special Hazard Loss will on each
Distribution Date be allocated solely to the outstanding Subordinate
Certificates until the Special Hazard Termination Date.

      (k) Following distributions made on each Distribution Date, the principal
portion of any realized losses allocated to the Underlying Certificates will be
allocated to the Class II-A Certificates on a pro rata basis, based on the
Certificate Principal Balances thereof.

      Section 6.04 Payments.

      (a) On each Distribution Date, other than the final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record as of the
immediately preceding Record Date the Certificateholder's pro rata share of its
Class (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest represented by such
Holder's Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed on such
Distribution Date to such Class, based on written information provided to the
Trustee by the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall
calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and, based on such amounts,
the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount to be distributed to
each Certificateholder. All of the Securities Administrator's calculations of
payments shall be based solely on information provided to the Securities
Administrator by the Master Servicer or, in the case of the Re-REMIC
Certificates, solely on the related Underlying Certificates Payment Date
Statement. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be
required to confirm, verify or recompute any such information but shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on such information.

      (b) Payment of the above amounts to each Certificateholder shall be made
(i) by check mailed to each Certificateholder entitled thereto at the address
appearing in the Certificate Register or (ii) upon receipt by the Trustee on or
before the fifth Business Day preceding the Record Date of written instructions
from a Certificateholder by wire transfer to a United States dollar account
maintained by the payee at any United States depository institution with
appropriate facilities for receiving such a wire transfer; provided, however,
that the final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates will be made
only upon presentation and surrender of such respective Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of
such final payment.

      Section 6.05 Statements to Certificateholders.

      (f) The Trustee shall furnish to each Holder of the Re-REMIC Certificates,

      Section 6.06 Monthly Advances.

      If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due
Date is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and
for which the related Servicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer
Collection Account which will be used for an advance with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master

                                    - 107 -
<PAGE>

Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date
immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such
deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent
the Master Servicer determines any such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such
advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under
its Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer deems an advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master
Servicer shall present an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee and Radian (i)
stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a
stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance.

      Section 6.07 Compensating Interest Payments.

      The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Master Servicer Collection
Account not later than each Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the sum of the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the
Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to subclauses (a)
and (b) of the definition of Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage
Loans for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the Servicers and
(ii) the Master Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date (such amount, the
"Compensating Interest Payment"). The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to
any reimbursement of any Compensating Interest Payment.

      Section 6.08 Policy Matters.

      (a) If, on the third Business Day before any Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator notifies the Trustee that a Deficiency Amount exists on
such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall give notice to Radian and the Fiscal
Agent (as defined in the Policy), if any, by telephone or telecopy of the amount
of such Deficiency Amount, confirmed in writing by notice substantially in the
form of Exhibit A to the Policy by 12:00 noon, New York City time on such third
Business Day. The Trustee's responsibility for delivering the notice to Radian
as provided in the preceding sentence is contingent upon its receipt of
available, timely and accurate information from the Securities Administrator.

      (b) In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order of the
appropriate court regarding any Preference Amount (as defined in the Policy),
the Trustee shall (i) promptly notify Radian and the Fiscal Agent, if any, and
(ii) comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by Radian of
such Preference Amount. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all
Holders of the Class I-A-3 Certificates so affected that, in the event that any
such Holder's scheduled payment is a Preference Amount, such Holder will be
entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy, a copy of which shall
be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to
Radian and the Fiscal Agent, if any, its records listing the payments on the
affected Class I-A-3 Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee
and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which
such payments were made by the Trustee.

      (c) At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes hereof, the
Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account in the name of
the Trustee for the benefit of

                                    - 108 -
<PAGE>

Holders of the Class I-A-3 Certificates (the "Class I-A-3 Policy Payments
Account") over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of
withdrawal. The Class I-A-3 Policy Payments Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under the Policy into the
Class I-A-3 Policy Payments Account and distribute such amount only for the
purposes of making the payments to Holders of the Class I-A-3 Certificates in
respect of the Insured Payment for which the related claim was made under the
Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to Holders of Class I-A-3
Certificates affected by such shortfalls in the same manner as interest and
principal payments are to be allocated with respect to such Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.01. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made
by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to
make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn from the Distribution
Account. However, any payments made on the Class I-A-3 Certificates from funds
in the I-A-3 Policy Payments Account shall be noted as provided in subsection
(e) below. Funds held in the Class I-A-3 Policy Payments Account shall not be
invested by the Trustee.

      (d) Any funds received from Radian for deposit into the Class I-A-3 Policy
Payments Account pursuant to the Policy in respect of a Distribution Date or
otherwise as a result of any claim under the Policy shall be applied by the
Trustee directly to the payment in full (i) of the Deficiency Amount due on such
Distribution Date on the Class I-A-3 Certificates, or (ii) of other amounts
payable under the Policy. Funds received by the Trustee as a result of any claim
under the Policy shall be used solely for payment to the Holders of the Class
I-A-3 Certificates and may not be applied for any other purpose, including,
without limitation, satisfaction of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. Any funds remaining in the Class I-A-3
Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day after each Distribution Date
shall be remitted promptly to Radian pursuant to the written instruction of
Radian.

      (e) The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect of (i)
all funds remitted to it by Radian and deposited into the Class I-A-3 Policy
Payments Account and (ii) the allocation of such funds to (A) payments of
interest on and principal in respect of any Class I-A-3 Certificates and (B) the
amount of funds available to make distributions on the Class I-A-3 Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.01. Radian shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times during normal business hours upon three Business Days' prior
notice to the Trustee.

      (f) The Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of a Class I-A-3 Certificate
by its acceptance of the Class I-A-3 Certificate agrees, that, without the need
for any further action on the part of Radian or the Trustee to the extent Radian
makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest
on any Class I-A-3 Certificates, Radian will be fully subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Class I-A-3 Certificates to receive such principal and
interest from the Trust Fund. The Holders of the Class I-A-3 Certificates, by
acceptance of the Class I-A-3 Certificates, assign their rights as Holders of
the Class I-A-3 Certificates to the extent of Radian's interest with respect to
amounts paid under the Policy. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
solely for purposes of determining Radian's rights, as applicable, as subrogee
for payments distributable pursuant to Section 6.01, any payment with respect to
distributions to the Class I-A-3 Certificates which is made with funds received
pursuant to the

                                    - 109 -
<PAGE>

terms of the Policy, shall not be considered payment of the Class I-A-3
Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not result in the distribution or the
provision for the distribution in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of
the Class I-A-3 Certificates as described in this Article VI.

      The Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall
cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by Radian for action to
preserve or enforce Radian's rights or interests under this Agreement without
limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates as otherwise set forth herein.

      (g) Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify Radian of
such Event of Default.

      (h) The Trustee shall promptly notify Radian of either of the following as
to which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any
proceeding by or against the Seller commenced under the United States bankruptcy
code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding") and (B) the making of
any claim in connection with any proceeding seeking the avoidance as a
preferential transfer (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with
respect to the Class I-A-3 Certificates as to which it has actual knowledge.
Each Holder of a Class I-A-3 Certificate, by its purchase of Class I-A-3
Certificates, and the Trustee hereby agrees that Radian (so long as no Radian
Default (as defined below) exists) may at any time during the continuation of
any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to
such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any
appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any
surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and
without limitation of the foregoing, Radian shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Trustee and each Holder of a Class I-A-3 Certificate in the conduct of any
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an
adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection
with any such Preference Claim.

      (i) The Master Servicer shall designate a Radian Contact Person who shall
be available to Radian to provide reasonable access to information regarding the
Mortgage Loans. The initial Radian Contact Person is to the attention of Client
Manager - Prime 2005-1.

      (j) The Trustee shall promptly surrender the Policy to Radian for
cancellation upon the reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Class
I-A-3 Certificates to zero.

      (k) The Trustee shall send or otherwise make available to Radian any
statements or communications sent or made available by the Trustee to Holders of
the Class I-A-3 Certificates including, without limitation, statements prepared
pursuant to Section 6.05, 8.03 and 9.12, in each case at the same time such
reports, statements and communications are otherwise sent.

      (l) For so long as there is not a continuing default by Radian under its
obligations under the Policy (a "Radian Default"), each Holder of a Class I-A-3
Certificate agrees that Radian shall be treated by the Seller, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as if Radian
were the Holder of all Class I-A-3 Certificates for the purpose (and solely for
the purpose) of the giving of any consent, the making of any direction or

                                    - 110 -
<PAGE>

the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise given the Holders
of the Class I-A-3 Certificates hereunder without any further consent of the
Holders of the Class I-A-3 Certificates and such holders shall not exercise such
rights without the prior written consent of Radian.

      With respect to this Section 6.08, (i) the terms "Receipt" and "Received"
shall mean actual delivery to Radian and Radian's Fiscal Agent, if any, received
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day; delivery either on a
day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon, New York City time, shall be
deemed to be Received on the next succeeding Business Day. If any notice or
certificate given under the Policy by the Trustee is not in proper form or is
not properly completed, executed or delivered, it shall be deemed not to have
been Received. Radian or its Fiscal Agent, if any, shall promptly so advise the
Trustee and the Trustee may submit an amended notice and (ii) "Business Day"
means any day other than (A) a Saturday or Sunday, (B) a day on which Radian is
closed or (C) a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, New
York, or in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.

      Section 6.09 Reserve Fund.

      The Reserve Fund will be maintained by the Trustee in a separate account.
The Reserve Fund will be beneficially owned by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and will
not be an asset of the REMICs. The Trustee shall make a withdrawal on each
Distribution Date from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, to the extent
funds are available therein, to cover any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
allocated to the Class I-A-3 Certificates that were not offset by Compensating
Interest Payments and any Interest Shortfalls relating to the application of the
Relief Act allocated to the Insured Certificates. The Trustee shall distribute
such amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Fund to the Class I-A-3
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date in the same manner as interest
payments are to be allocated with respect to the Class I-A-3 Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.01. The balance of any amount remaining in the Reserve
Fund on the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amount of the Class
I-A-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero will be distributed to Bear, Stearns
& Co. Inc. No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and
maintain the Reserve Fund. On the Closing Date the Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
shall deposit with the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deposit into the Reserve
Fund, cash in an amount equal to $20,000.

      Section 6.10 Rounding Account.

      (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and
maintain with itself a segregated trust account that is an Eligible Account,
which shall be titled "Rounding Account, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as trustee
for the registered holders of Prime Mortgage Trust 2005-1, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-1, Class I-A-3." On the Closing Date, Bear, Stearns &
Co. Inc. shall deposit with the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deposit into the
Rounding Account, cash in an amount equal to $999.99.

      (b) The Trustee on each Distribution Date shall, based upon information
provided to it by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date,
withdraw funds from the Rounding Account to pay the Rounding Amount to the
Certificate Owners of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 6.01. In
addition, the Trustee on each Distribution Date shall, based upon

                                    - 111 -
<PAGE>

information provided to it by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution
Date, withdraw funds from the Distribution Account to repay to the Rounding
Account the Rounding Amount from the prior Distribution Date as contemplated in
Section 6.01.

      Section 6.11 Principal Distributions on the Insured Certificates.

      Distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured
Certificates will be made in integral multiples of $1,000 at the request of the
appropriate representatives of Deceased Holders of such Insured Certificates and
at the request of Living Owners of such Insured Certificates or by mandatory
distributions by Random Lot, pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) below, or on a pro
rata basis pursuant to clause (e) below.

      (a) On each Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the
Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates are made, such
distributions will be made through the Depository in the following priority
among the Certificate Owners of the Insured Certificates:

                  (i) any request by the personal representatives of a Deceased
      Holder or by a surviving tenant by the entirety, by a surviving joint
      tenant or by a surviving tenant in common, but not exceeding an aggregate
      amount of $100,000 per request; and

                  (ii) any request by a Living Owner, but not exceeding an
      aggregate amount of $10,000 per request.

      Thereafter, distributions will be made, with respect to the Insured
Certificates, as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above up to a second $100,000
and $10,000, respectively. This sequence of priorities will be repeated for each
request for principal distributions made by the Certificate Owners of the
Insured Certificates until all such requests have been honored.

      Requests for distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of
the Insured Certificates presented on behalf of Deceased Holders in accordance
with the provisions of clause (i) above will be accepted in order of their
receipt by the Depository. Requests for distributions in reduction of the
Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificate presented in accordance with
the provisions of clause (ii) above will be accepted in the order of their
receipt by the Depository after all requests presented in accordance with clause
(i) above have been honored. All requests for distributions in reduction of the
Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates will be accepted in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6.11(c). All requests for
distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured
Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date must be received by the
Depository and on the Depository's "participant terminal system" and received by
the Trustee no later than the close of business on the related Record Date.
Requests for distributions that are on the Depository's participant terminal
system and received by the Trustee after the related Record Date and requests,
in either case, for distributions not accepted with respect to any Distribution
Date, will be treated as requests for distributions in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount of Insured Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution
Date, and each succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until such request is
accepted or is withdrawn as provided in Section 6.11(c). Such requests as are
not so withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without the need for any

                                    - 112 -
<PAGE>

further action on the part of the appropriate Certificate Owner of the related
Insured Certificate, all in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and
the Trustee. Upon the transfer of the beneficial ownership of the Insured
Certificate, any distribution request previously submitted with respect to such
Certificate will be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon the receipt by the
Trustee on or before the Record Date for such Distribution Date of notification
of such withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 6.11(c) on the
Depository's participant terminal system.

      Distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Insured
Certificates will be applied in an amount equal to the Subgroup Principal
Distribution Amount allocable to such Class pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i),
plus, with respect to the Insured Certificates, any amounts available for
distribution from the Rounding Account established as provided in Section 6.10,
provided that the aggregate distribution in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount of the Insured Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made in an
integral multiple of $1,000.

      To the extent that the portion of the Subgroup Principal Distribution
Amount allocable to distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount
of the Insured Certificates on any Distribution Date exceeds the aggregate
Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates with respect to which
distribution requests, as set forth above, have been received (plus any amounts
required to be distributed pursuant to the Rounding Account with respect to the
Insured Certificates), distributions in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount of the Insured Certificates will be made by mandatory distribution
pursuant to Section 6.11(d).

      (b) An Insured Certificate shall be deemed to be held by a Deceased Holder
for purposes of this Section 6.11 if the death of the Certificate Owner thereof
is deemed to have occurred. Insured Certificates beneficially owned by tenants
by the entirety, joint tenants or tenants in common will be considered to be
beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety,
joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed to be the death of the
Certificate Owner, and the Insured Certificates so beneficially owned will be
eligible for priority with respect to distributions in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount thereof, subject to the limitations stated above. Insured
Certificates beneficially owned by a trust will be considered to be beneficially
owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such beneficiary's
beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's beneficiaries
collectively be deemed to be Certificate Owners of a number of Individual
Insured Certificates of which such trust is the owner. The death of a
beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of a Certificate Owner of
the Insured Certificates, as applicable, owned by the trust to the extent of
such beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust. The death of an individual
who was a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy
which is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the
beneficiary of such trust. The death of a person who, during his or her
lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership
interests in Individual Insured Certificates will be deemed to be the death of
the Certificate Owner of the Insured Certificates regardless of the registration
of ownership, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction
of the Depository Participant. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist
in typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee,
ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other
joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. Certificate beneficial
interests shall include the power to sell,

                                    - 113 -
<PAGE>

transfer or otherwise dispose of an Insured Certificate and the right to receive
the proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and distributions in reduction of
the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates, as applicable, payable
with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to determine
independently the occurrence of the death of any deceased Certificate Owner. The
Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to Section
6.11(c) in establishing the eligibility of any Certificate Owner to receive the
priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 6.11(a).

      (c) Requests for distributions in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount of Insured Certificates must be made by delivering a written request
therefor to the Depository Participant or Indirect Depository Participant that
maintains the account evidencing such Certificate Owner's interest in Insured
Certificates. In the case of a request on behalf of a Deceased Holder,
appropriate evidence of death and any tax waivers are required to be forwarded
to the Depository Participant under separate cover. The Depository Participant
shall forward a certification, satisfactory to the Trustee, certifying the death
of the Deceased Holder and the receipt of the appropriate death and tax waivers.
The Depository Participant should in turn make the request of the Depository
(or, in the case of an Indirect Depository Participant, such Indirect Depository
Participant must notify the related Depository Participant of such request,
which Depository Participant should make the request of the Depository) on the
Depository's participant terminal system. The Depository may establish such
procedures as it deems fair and equitable to establish the order of receipt of
requests for such distributions received by it on the same day. None of the
Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, Radian
or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of requests for
distributions or withdrawals of such requests by the Depository, a Depository
Participant or any Indirect Depository Participant.

      The Depository shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants
representing the appropriate Certificate Owners of Insured Certificates that
have submitted requests for distributions in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount of Insured Certificates, together with the order of receipt and the
amounts of such requests on the Depository's participant terminal system. The
Depository will honor requests for distributions in the order of their receipt
(subject to the priorities described in Section 6.11(a) above). The Trustee
shall notify the Depository as to which requests should be honored on each
Distribution Date at least two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date
based on the report received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.05(c) and
shall notify the Depository as to the amount of the Subgroup Principal
Distribution Amount to be distributed to the Insured Certificates by Random Lot
pursuant to Section 6.11(d). Requests shall be honored by the Depository in
accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations,
described in this Section 6.11. The exact procedures to be followed by the
Trustee and the Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and
limitations will be those established from time to time by the Trustee or the
Depository, as the case may be. The decisions of the Trustee and the Depository
concerning such matters will be final and binding on all affected persons.

      Individual Insured Certificates that have been accepted for a distribution
shall be due and payable on the applicable Distribution Date. Such Certificates
shall cease to bear interest after the last day of the month preceding the month
in which such Distribution Date occurs.

<PAGE>

      Any Certificate Owner of an Insured Certificate that has requested a
distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the Depository
Participant or Indirect Depository Participant that maintains such Certificate
Owner's account. In the event that such account is maintained by an Indirect
Depository Participant, such Indirect Depository Participant must notify the
related Depository Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such
request on the Depository's participant terminal system. If such withdrawal of a
request for distribution has not been received on the Depository's participant
terminal system on or before the Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the
previously made request for distribution will be irrevocable with respect to the
making of distributions in reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the
Insured Certificates on such Distribution Date.

      In the event any requests for distributions in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates are rejected by the Trustee for
failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.11, the Trustee shall
return such request to the appropriate Depository Participant with a copy to the
Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such rejection.

      (d) To the extent, if any, that distributions in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates on a Distribution Date exceed the
outstanding Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates with respect to
which distribution requests have been received by the related Record Date, as
provided in Section 6.11(a) above, the additional distributions in reduction of
the Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates will be made by
mandatory distributions in reduction thereof. Such mandatory distributions on
Individual Insured Certificates will be made by Random Lot in accordance with
the then-applicable Random Lot procedures of the Depository, the Depository
Participants and the Indirect Depository Participants representing the
Certificate Owners. The Trustee shall notify the Depository of the aggregate
amount of the mandatory distribution in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount of the Insured Certificates to be made on any such Distribution Date. The
Depository shall then allocate such aggregate amount among its Depository
Participants on a Random Lot basis. Each Depository Participant and, in turn,
each Indirect Depository Participant will then select, in accordance with its
own procedures, Individual Insured Certificates from among those held in its
accounts to receive mandatory distributions in reduction of the Current
Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates, such that the total amount so
selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such mandatory distributions
allocated to such Depository Participant by the Depository and to such Indirect
Depository Participant by its related Depository Participant, as the case may
be. Depository Participants and Indirect Depository Participants that hold
Insured Certificates selected for mandatory distributions in reduction of the
Current Principal Amount thereof are required to provide notice of such
mandatory distributions to the affected Certificate Owners. The Master Servicer
agrees to notify the Trustee of the amount of distributions in reduction of the
Current Principal Amount of the Insured Certificates to be made on each
Distribution Date in a timely manner such that the Trustee may fulfill its
obligations pursuant to the letter of representations dated the Closing Date
among the Company, the Trustee and the Depository.

      (e) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on any
Distribution Date on which (i) any Realized Losses are allocated to the Insured
Certificates and (ii) a Radian Default has occurred and/or is continuing,
distributions in reduction of the Current Principal

                                    - 115 -
<PAGE>

Amount of the Insured Certificates will be made pro rata on the basis of their
respective percentage interests with the respect to the Insured Certificates
among the Certificate Owners of the Insured Certificates and will not be made in
integral multiples of $1,000 nor pursuant to requests for distribution as
permitted by this Section 6.11 or mandatory distributions by Random Lot.

      (f) In the event that Definitive Certificates representing the Insured
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.01, an amendment to this
Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any Certificateholders,
shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which distributions in
reduction of the Current Principal Amount of such Insured Certificates are to be
made; provided that such procedures shall be consistent, to the extent
practicable and customary for certificates similar to the Insured Certificates,
with the provisions of this Section 6.11.

                              The Master Servicer-

      Section 7.01 Liabilities of the Master Servicer.

      The Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by it herein.

      Section 7.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Master Servicer.

      (a) The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its
incorporation, and 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 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to
perform its duties under this Agreement.

      (b) Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Master Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

      Section 7.03 Indemnification of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator.

      (a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for,
and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that
may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim
or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action)
relating to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, the Servicing Agreements, the Assignment Agreement or
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates or the powers of attorney delivered by
the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform
its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii)
incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with
respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or
legal action), the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and
the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Indemnified Person shall
have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Master
Servicer's failure to receive any such notice shall not affect the Indemnified
Person right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Master
Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. This indemnity
shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.

                                    - 117 -

      (b) With respect to the Underlying Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates,
the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be
indemnified by the Re-REMIC Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b)
the Re-REMIC Certificates or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, including, but not limited to, liability resulting from information
distributed by the Trustee concerning the characterization, for tax purposes, of
distributions made by the Re-REMIC Fund, other than any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of, or omission to perform, any of the Trustee's duties hereunder.
The Mortgage Fund shall indemnify the Trustee and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee for any loss liability or expense incurred by
such party in connection with the provisions of the last sentence of Section
2.01(c) hereof. The indemnities in this clause (b) shall survive the termination
of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder.

      (c) The Mortgage Fund will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss,
liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise covered by the
Master Servicer's indemnification pursuant to Subsection (a) above.

      Section 7.04 Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

      Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the
Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:

      (a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Mortgage Fund or the Holders of the
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates for taking any action or for refraining from
taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations
made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such
Person's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder.

      (b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder.

      (c) The Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Master Servicer or the Custodian, and the Trustee to the extent
it becomes party to the Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 3.03, and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the
Mortgage Fund and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their
part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to,
any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to this Agreement, the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates or
the related Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer
or Trustee, as the case may be, is indemnified by the

                                    - 118 -
<PAGE>

Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related
to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance with this
Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the Custodian's failure to
perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement, respectively, or (ii) any such
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's or the
Custodian's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable,
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under
the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.

      (d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under
this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with
the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
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 Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates hereunder. In
such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Mortgage
Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of
the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in
this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to
supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).

      (e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this
Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations
concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such
course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but
shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.

      Section 7.05 Master Servicer Not to Resign.

      Except as provided in Section 7.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination
that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
and such impermissibility cannot be cured; provided, however, in the event that
the Securities Administrator resigns or is terminated or removed in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the Master Servicer shall resign. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee and
Radian to such effect delivered to the Trustee and Radian. No such resignation
by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Company or the Trustee
or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating
Agencies and Radian of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

      Section 7.06 Successor Master Servicer.

      In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the
assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer
out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Trustee and such
successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not
agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer
shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged
in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the
compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the
Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.

      Section 7.07 Sale and 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 and the
Company may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master
Servicer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting
such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth
of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency
pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall 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 as master servicer under this Agreement, any
custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii)
each Rating Agency and Radian 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 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (determined without
regard to the Policy) 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; (iii) the Master Servicer
assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee and
Radian an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed
to the Trustee and Radian, 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; and (iv) in the event the Master
Servicer is terminated without cause by the Company, the Company shall pay the
terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master
servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the successor Master Servicer.
No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master
Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

                                     Default

      Section 8.01 Events of Default.

      "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting
Master Servicer:

            (i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this
Agreement (other than a Monthly Advance), and such failure continues unremedied
for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Master Servicer; or

            (ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material
respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement
to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the
rights of Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, and such failure
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee by the Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund;
or

            (iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the
Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and
the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case;
or

            (iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;

            (v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights
under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07; or

                                    - 121 -
<PAGE>

            (vi) The Master Servicer fails to deposit or cause to be deposited,
in the Distribution Account any Monthly Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable
Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Distribution Account Deposit
Date.

In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to
the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the
Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund, by
notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such
Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates), with a copy to the Rating
Agencies and Radian, and with the consent of the Company, may terminate all of
the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property
serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by
the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related
agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the
Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 8.02,
automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the
Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies
of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to
enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. All reasonable and
properly documented costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection
with such transfer shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Master Servicer
within 30 days of request therefor or, if the Master Servicer fails to pay any
such amount, reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Amount. In
addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the
termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause
(vi) of this Section 8.01 shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as
a Holder of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates or to reimbursement of
Monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act
as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer,
including the obligation to make any

                                    - 122 -
<PAGE>

Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be
prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.

      Section 8.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

      (a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to
Section 7.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or
to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee
shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer
in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (including the requirement to make
Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 6.06); provided, however, that the Company
shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master
Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided further, however,
that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any
liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not previously made)
incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as
reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or
expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act,
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or
Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master
Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that
the ratings, if any, on each of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
(determined without regard to the Policy) will not be lowered as a result of the
selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply, the
compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that
such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer
to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent
contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder.
The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

      (b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer
respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate
capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its

                                    - 123 -
<PAGE>

duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its
capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it
in its capacity as successor master servicer.

      Section 8.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

      Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer,
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies and Radian.

      Section 8.04 Waiver of Defaults.

      The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default.
The Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on
behalf of all Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, waive any
default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder
and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing
to be made any required distribution on the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
which default may only be waived by Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating 100% of the
Trust Fund. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed
to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice

duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator, respectively. If an Event of Default has
occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

      (b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator pursuant to any

the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee
nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document,
order or other instrument furnished hereunder; provided, further, that neither

distributions and the final distribution to the related Certificateholders from
funds in the Distribution Account or Re-REMIC Certificate Account, as
applicable, as provided in Sections 6.01 and 10.01 herein based solely on the
report of the Securities Administrator.

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

            (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the

forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may

            (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer of
the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;

            (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates or Re-REMIC Certificates, as applicable, evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates, if such action or non-action
relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively,
or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;

            (iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed
to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a

assume there is no such default or Event of Default;

            (v) The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any

negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency
(except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);

            (vi) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in
no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator be liable for
special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

            (vii) None of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the
Company or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the
other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render
them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another and

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 or the Securities Administrator
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, except during
such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with
the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

      (e) All funds received by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and required

Administrator is required to take hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to take any
action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder in the absence of written
direction as provided hereunder.

      Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.

      Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

            (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may rely and shall
be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any resolution,
certificate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or a Servicer, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;

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

            (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by
this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to 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 reasonable security or
indemnity 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 an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (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 under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs;

            (iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,

<PAGE>

instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates or Re-REMIC Certificates, as applicable,
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the
portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates, and provided that the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities 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
Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably assured to the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may
require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall
be paid by the related Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

            (vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of
the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly
or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee
may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial functions with respect to the
Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under this Agreement without the
express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the
Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's agents or attorneys or a custodian
or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master
Servicer;

            (vii) Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the

performance of any such act;

            (ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust
created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Subsection
9.07; and

            (x) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have
any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any
condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant
to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or the
eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

      Section 9.03 Trustee and Securities Administrator Not Liable for Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Re-REMIC Certificates, Mortgage Loans or Underlying
Certificates.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature of the Trustee on such Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee, nor the Custodian on its
behalf, nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for their
correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any
representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature of the Trustee on the such Certificates) or of any Mortgage
Loan; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or
the Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files
pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04. The Trustee's signature and countersignature
(or countersignature of its agent) on the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and
Re-REMIC Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee and shall not
constitute the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates an
obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor of any of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible
for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument
relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or
of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity,
priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates and Re-REMIC Certificates issued hereunder or intended
to be issued hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall at any time have any 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 either
Trust Fund, or any portion of either Trust Fund or its ability to make the
payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for
filing any financing statement or continuation statement in any public office at
any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security
interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.

      Section 9.04 Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates.

      The Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or
in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee
of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the
parties hereto.

      Section 9.05 Trustee's and Securities Administrator's Fees and Expenses.

      The fees of the Trustee shall be paid in accordance with a side letter
agreement between the Trustee and the Master Servicer. With respect to the
Mortgage Fund, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive a fee
payable by the Master Servicer and as agreed to

                                    - 129 -
<PAGE>

between the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer in a separate
agreement. With respect to the Re-REMIC Fund, the Securities Administrator shall
be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the Securities Administration
Fee for such Distribution Date. In addition, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator will be entitled to recover, from the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 4.05 with respect to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
and from the Re-REMIC Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.07 with respect
to the Re-REMIC Certificates, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
indemnification payments, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, in connection with any
Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the administration
of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and
disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the
responsibility of the related Certificateholders. If funds in the Distribution
Account or Re-REMIC Certificate Account, as applicable, are insufficient
therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recover such
expenses from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay such
expenses, disbursements or advances upon demand. Such compensation and
reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

      Section 9.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Securities
Administrator.

      The Trustee and any successor Trustee and the Securities Administrator and
any successor Securities Administrator shall during the entire duration of this
Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States
of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,

unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee or successor
Securities Administrator other than pursuant to Section 9.10, rated in one of
the two highest long-term debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each
of the Rating Agencies. If the Trustee 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 corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity
capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 9.06, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.08.

      The Securities Administrator (i) may not be the Seller, an originator of
any of the Mortgage Loans, Master Servicer, Servicer, the Depositor or an

exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization,

                                    - 130 -
<PAGE>

and (iii) must be rated at least "A/F1" by Fitch, if Fitch is a Rating Agency,
or the equivalent rating by S&P or Moody's, or such other rating as is
acceptable to Fitch as provided in writing. If no successor Securities
Administrator shall have been appointed by the Depositor and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Securities Administrator ceases to be the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.06, then the Trustee shall
perform the duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.
The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Securities
Administrator. In such event, the Trustee shall assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Securities Administrator hereunder arising thereafter except
that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor
Securities Administrator or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Securities
Administrator hereunder or (ii) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Securities Administrator made herein. The Trustee shall not be
accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts
or omissions hereunder of the Securities Administrator until such time as the
Trustee may be required to act as successor Securities Administrator pursuant to
this Section 9.06 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as
successor Securities Administrator.

      The Trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all reasonable costs and expenses
associated with the transfer of the duties of the Securities Administrator from
the predecessor Securities Administrator, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all Securities
Administrator data as may be required by the Trustee or successor Securities
Administrator to correct any errors or insufficiencies in such Securities
Administrator data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor Securities
Administrator to perform the duties of the Securities Administrator properly and
effectively.

      Section 9.07 Insurance.

      The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, at their own expense, shall
at all times maintain and keep in full force and effect: (i) fidelity insurance,
(ii) theft of documents insurance and (iii) forgery insurance (which may be
collectively satisfied by a "Financial Institution Bond" and/or a "Bankers'
Blanket Bond"). All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage
and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained
by banks or their affiliates which act as custodians for investor-owned mortgage
pools. A certificate of an officer of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator as to the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's,
respectively, compliance with this Section 9.07 shall be furnished to any
Certificateholder upon reasonable written request.

      Section 9.08 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and Securities
Administrator.

      (a) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign
(including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the
Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Seller, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities
Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating
Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as
applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of

                                    - 131 -
<PAGE>

which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee or
securities administrator, as applicable, and the successor trustee or securities
administrator, as applicable. If no successor trustee or successor securities
administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or
Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator.

      (b) If at any time the Trustee or the Securities 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 if at any time the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor shall
promptly remove the Trustee, or shall be entitled to remove the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of

and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator for the related
Trust Fund by written instrument or instruments, in quadruplicate, signed by
such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of
which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator (if the Trustee is removed), the Trustee (if the
Securities Administrator is removed), and the Trustee or Securities
Administrator so removed and the successor so appointed. In the event that the
Trustee or Securities Administrator is removed by the Holders of Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates or Re-REMIC Certificates in accordance with this
Section 9.08(c), the Holders of such Certificates shall be responsible for
paying any compensation payable to a successor Trustee or successor Securities
Administrator, in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Trustee or
predecessor Securities Administrator, as applicable.

      (d) No resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective

Trustee or Securities Administrator as provided in Section 9.09.

      (a) Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 9.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall then become

                                    - 132 -
<PAGE>

effective and such successor Trustee or Securities 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 Securities Administrator herein. The
predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall after payment of its
outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver to the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, all assets and records of the Trust
held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such

party, or any state bank or trust company or national banking association
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall be the successor of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, hereunder, provided
such state bank or trust company or national banking association shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06. Such succession shall be valid
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.

      (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust or property constituting the same may at the time be located, the

and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee and the Depositor to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the

<PAGE>

      (b) If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15

the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06 hereunder and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.

      (d) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such
co-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 (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 by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

      (e) 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 IX. 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.

      (f) To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or
co-trustee may, at any time, request the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact,
with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to
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.

      (g) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor
and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

      Section 9.12 Federal Information Returns and Reports to
Certificateholders; REMIC Administration.

      (b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be
filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and the Trustee shall sign, Federal tax
information returns or elections required to be made hereunder with respect to
each REMIC, each Trust Fund, if applicable, and the Certificates containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of
Certificates at any time during the calendar year for which such returns or
reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner
as may be required thereby, including, without limitation, reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using a
constant prepayment assumption of 300% PSA). The Securities Administrator will
apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service
under Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities. In
connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall timely prepare
and file, and the Trustee shall sign, Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, which
shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain
information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in each
REMIC (the "REMIC Reporting Agent"). The Trustee shall make elections to treat
each REMIC as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the taxable period ending
December 31, 2005 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code
or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe, and as described by the
Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns
filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the
Code. The Holder of the Class I-R Certificate is hereby designated as the "Tax
Matters Person" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d))
for REMIC I, the Holder of the Class I-R Certificate (in respect of the Class
R-II Interest) is hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Person" for REMIC II,
and the Holder of the Class I-R Certificate (in respect of the Class R-III
Interest) is hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Person" for REMIC III. The
Holder of the Class II-R Certificate (in respect of the Class II-R Interest) is
hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Person" (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC IV. The Securities Administrator is
hereby designated and appointed as the agent of each such Tax Matters Person.
Any Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the
Securities Administrator as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting
as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC during such time as the Securities
Administrator does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the
Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or
information returns or other statements, or the Securities Administrator from
acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall take whatever action that in their sole good faith judgment
is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the
provision of a Tax Matters Person, including designation of the Holder of a
Residual Certificate to sign such returns or act as Tax Matters Person. Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.

      (c) The Securities Administrator shall provide upon request and receipt of
reasonable compensation such information as required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of
the Code to the Internal Revenue Service, to any Person purporting to transfer a
Residual Certificate to a Person other than a transferee permitted by Section
5.05(b), and to any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust,
common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate, organization described in Section
1381 of the Code, or nominee holding an interest in a pass-through entity
described in Section 860E(e)(6) of the Code, any record holder of which is not a
transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b) (or which is deemed by statute to be an
entity with a disqualified member).

      (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be
filed, and the Trustee shall sign, any state income tax returns required under
Applicable State Law with respect to each REMIC or the Trust Fund.

      (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest, original
issue discount or principal on the Certificates that the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The
consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the
event the Trustee or the Securities Administrator withholds any amount from
interest, original issue discount payments or principal or advances thereof to
any Certificateholder pursuant to Federal withholding requirements, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator shall, together with their monthly report to
such Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.

      (f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator agree to indemnify the
applicable Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes and costs including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by such
Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants and the Securities Administrator's covenants, respectively,
set forth in this Section 9.12; provided, however, such liability and obligation
to indemnify in this paragraph shall not be joint and several, and neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or be obligated to
indemnify either Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty
under this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this
Agreement.

                                   Termination

      Section 10.01 Termination Upon Repurchase by the Depositor or its Designee
or Liquidation of the Mortgage Loans.

      (a) Subject to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator created hereby with respect to the Mortgage Fund and
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, other than the obligation of the Trustee
to make payments to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and the
indemnification obligations under Section 7.03 hereof, shall terminate upon:

            (i) the repurchase by or at the direction of the Depositor or its
designee of all of the Mortgage Loans and all related REO Property remaining in
the Trust at a price (in each case, the "Termination Purchase Price") equal to
the sum of (a) 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan
(other than a Mortgage Loan related to REO Property) as of the date of
repurchase, net of the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances
made by the purchaser, together with interest at the applicable Mortgage
Interest Rate accrued but unpaid to, but not including, the first day of the
month of repurchase, (b) the appraised value of any related REO Property, less
the good faith estimate of the Depositor of liquidation expenses to be incurred
in connection with its disposal thereof (but not more than the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with interest at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued on that balance but unpaid to, but not
including, the first day of the month of repurchase), such appraisal to be
calculated by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the Trustee
at the expense of the Depositor plus payment due Radian of all Radian
Reimbursement Amounts, (c) unreimbursed out-of pocket costs of the Master
Servicer, including unreimbursed servicing advances and the principal portion of
any unreimbursed Monthly Advances, made on the Mortgage Loans prior to the
exercise of such repurchase right and (d) any unreimbursed costs and expenses of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator payable pursuant to Section 9.05;
or

            (ii) the later of the making of the final payment or other
liquidation, or any advance with respect thereto, of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Mortgage Fund or the disposition of all property acquired with
respect to any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event that an
advance has been made, but not yet recovered, at the time of such termination,
the Person having made such advance shall be entitled to receive,
notwithstanding such termination, any payments received subsequent thereto with
respect to which such advance was made; or

            (iii) the payment to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders
and Radian of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this
Agreement.

      (b) In no event, however, shall the Mortgage Fund created hereby continue
beyond the earlier of (i) the "latest possible maturity date" specified in
Section 5.01(d) or (ii) 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 of this Agreement.

                                    - 137 -
<PAGE>

      (c) The right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase all the
assets of the Mortgage Fund as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above shall
be exercisable only if (i) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase is less than 10% of the
Cut-Off Date Balance, or (ii) the Depositor, based upon an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, has
determined that the REMIC status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III has been lost
or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the
then-current taxable year. At any time thereafter, in the case of (i) or (ii)
above, the Depositor may elect to terminate REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III at
any time, and upon such election, the Depositor or its designee, shall
repurchase all the assets of the Mortgage Fund described in Subsection
10.01(a)(i) above.

      (d) The Trustee shall give notice of any termination to the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificateholders, with a copy to the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, Radian and the Rating Agencies, upon which the
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders shall surrender their Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution
and cancellation. Such notice shall be given by letter, mailed not earlier than
the l5th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution, and shall specify (i) the Distribution Date
upon which final payment of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates at the
office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
specified.

      (e) If the option of the Depositor to repurchase or cause the repurchase
of all the assets in the Mortgage Fund as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i)
above, is exercised, the Depositor and/or its designee shall deliver to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account, by the Business Day prior to
the applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Termination Purchase
Price. Upon presentation and surrender of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
by the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to
such Certificateholders as directed by the Securities Administrator in writing
an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates and the Class I-R
Certificates), the outstanding Current Principal Amount, plus with respect to
each Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate (other than the Class I-R Certificates),
one month's interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate; and with
respect to the Class I-R Certificates, the percentage interest evidenced thereby
multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase
price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the
Certificates (other than the Class I-R Certificates). If the proceeds with
respect to the Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the Senior
Certificates in full, any such deficiency shall be allocated first, to the
Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designations and
then to the Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. Upon deposit of the
Termination Purchase Price and following such final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall release promptly to the Depositor and/or its designee the Mortgage
Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Accounts with respect thereto
shall terminate, subject to the Trustee's obligation to hold any amounts payable
to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders in trust

                                    - 138 -
<PAGE>

without interest pending final distributions pursuant to Subsection 10.01(g).
Any other amounts remaining in the Accounts will belong to the Depositor.

      (f) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by reason of the
payment or liquidation of all Mortgage Loans or the disposition of all property
acquired with respect to all Mortgage Loans under Subsection 10.01(a)(ii) above,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account all distributable amounts remaining in the Master Servicer Collection
Account. Upon the presentation and surrender of the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute to the remaining Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificateholders, pursuant to the written direction of the
Securities Administrator and in accordance with their respective interests, all
distributable amounts remaining in the Distribution Account. Upon deposit by the
Master Servicer of such distributable amounts, and following such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly to the Depositor or its
designee the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Master
Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution Account shall terminate,
subject to the Trustee's obligation to hold any amounts payable to the
Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions
pursuant to this Subsection 10.01(f).

      (g) If not all of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders shall
surrender their Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the
Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificateholders to surrender their Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice, not all the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee may take appropriate steps, or appoint any agent to take appropriate
steps, to contact the remaining Mortgage Pass-Through Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject to
this Agreement.

      Section 10.02 Termination of Re-REMIC Fund.

      (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator created hereby with respect to the
Re-REMIC Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to
send certain notices to related Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and
the indemnification obligations under Section 7.03 hereof) shall terminate upon
the payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Re-REMIC
Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to
be paid to them hereunder (i) on the Distribution Date in September 2035; or
(ii) if earlier, on the second Distribution Date following the Assumed Final
Distribution Date and distribution has been made by the Trustee to related
Certificateholders with respect to the last Class of Re-REMIC Certificates then
outstanding; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the "latest possible maturity date" specified
in Section 5.01(d) or (ii) the expiration of twenty-one 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.

<PAGE>

      (b) If the Underlying Principal Balances of the Underlying Certificates
have not been reduced to zero by the Underlying Certificates Payment Date in
September 2035, the Trustee will notify each related Certificateholder in
accordance with Section 11.07 and seek instructions from each such
Certificateholder as to whether such Certificateholder wishes to receive its
Percentage Interest of the Underlying Certificates in kind or the cash proceeds
of the sale thereof on the Distribution Date in September 2035. To the extent
consistent with minimum denominations, the Trustee will sell in accordance with
the procedures set forth below the Underlying Certificates as to which
Certificateholders have requested the sale or as to which Certificateholders
have not responded by the date indicated by the Trustee and on the following
Distribution Date distribute as interest such proceeds or to those who have so
requested, their Percentage Interests of the Underlying Certificates. In
conducting the sale of some or all of the Underlying Certificates, the Trustee
will use its best efforts to sell such Underlying Certificates at the highest
bid obtained from three dealers (which may include affiliates of the Depositor)
then active in the market for securities comparable to the Underlying
Certificates (or such lesser number as may then be active). In the event that
the Trustee is able to obtain a bid from only one active dealer, then the
Trustee may in such event obtain an opinion (a "FMV Opinion") of an investment
banking firm of national reputation (which may be an affiliate of the Depositor)
to determine whether such bid is at least equal to the fair market value of such
Underlying Certificates. Any FMV Opinion shall be obtained at the expense of the
requesting Certificateholder, and in no event shall be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund. If it is not at least equal to the fair market value of the
Underlying Certificates, the Trustee shall consult with the Certificateholders
whose Percentage Interests of the Underlying Certificates were being sold as to
whether, based on the available price, they would prefer receipt of such
Underlying Certificates in kind and shall sell or deliver in kind in accordance
with instructions received and if none are received from a Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall sell the applicable Underlying Certificates to the party who
provided the bid. In the event that the Trustee is unable to obtain a bid from
any active dealer, then the Trustee may sell the Underlying Certificates it then
holds to any party at the first bid; provided, however, that the Trustee may in
such event obtain a FMV Opinion, and if such bid is not at least equal to the
fair market value of such Underlying Certificates as stated in such FMV Opinion,
the Trustee shall consult with the Certificateholders whose Percentage Interests
of the Underlying Certificates were being sold as to whether, based on the
available price, they would prefer receipt of such Underlying Certificates in
kind and shall sell or deliver in kind in accordance with instructions received
and if none are received from a Certificateholder, the Trustee shall sell the
applicable Underlying Certificates to the party who provided the bid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any purchaser of such Underlying Certificates
must be an eligible transferee pursuant to the terms of the related Underlying
Documents. Any expenses of the Trustee incurred in connection with the
provisions of this Section 10.02(b) shall be reimbursed to the Trustee from the
proceeds of the sale of the Underlying Certificates, or to the extent not
covered, from the Re-REMIC Fund in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof and
otherwise from the Depositor.

      (c) Whenever the Securities Administrator determines, on the basis of
Underlying Certificates Payment Date Statements or a notice to the Underlying
Certificateholder, that the final distribution on the related Re-REMIC
Certificates (which may include in accordance with

                                    - 140 -
<PAGE>

Section 10.02(b) a distribution in kind of the related Underlying Certificates)
will be made, the Securities Administrator shall give notice thereof to the
Trustee and the Trustee shall give notice to the Re-REMIC Certificateholders,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the related Certificateholders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment and cancellation, as
soon as practicable but in no event later than 5 Business Days prior to the
Final Distribution Date specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final
payment on the applicable Certificates will be made or transfer of the related
Underlying Certificates will be effected upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment or related Underlying Certificates to
be distributed, identified by maturity and principal amount, and (iii) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable
with respect to the Certificates to be surrendered and that payments shall be
made or the related Underlying Certificates transferred only upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified. Upon presentation and surrender of related Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the related Certificateholders an amount, if a
distribution of cash, equal to the amount otherwise distributable on such
Distribution Date, or if a distribution in kind, in the case of Underlying
Certificates, to submit for transfer to be delivered in physical form, to be
registered in such name as to which it shall receive written direction;
provided, that no Underlying Certificates shall be transferred to a
Certificateholder until they furnish acceptable proof to the Trustee that they
have complied with all relevant transfer provisions of the related Underlying
Documents.

      (d) With respect to the related Certificates, any funds or Underlying
Certificates not distributed on the Final Distribution Date, because of the
failure of any applicable Certificateholders to tender their Certificates, shall
be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Certificateholders, and the related Trust Fund shall terminate with respect to
such Certificates. If any Certificates as to which notice of the final
distribution has been given pursuant to this Section 10.02 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
related Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate
Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive,
from such funds or the related Underlying Certificates held, the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice
any related Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, take reasonable steps to contact
the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting
related Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held for
the benefit of such Certificateholders. If within two years after the second
notice any related Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay or transfer to the Depositor all amounts or
Underlying Certificates distributable to the Holders thereof and the Depositor
shall thereafter hold such amounts or Underlying Certificates for the benefit of
such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on
any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 10.02.

      (e) The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agency following the final payment
to a Re-REMIC Certificate.

      Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements with respect to the
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.

      (a) If the option of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans
under Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is exercised, the Mortgage Fund and each
related REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee and Radian have been furnished with an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and Radian to the effect that the failure of
the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (i)
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of the Code on any REMIC or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any regular interests are outstanding:

            (i) within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, at the
written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee, as agent for the respective Tax
Matters Persons, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each related
REMIC in the case of a termination under Subsection 10.01(a)(i), provided to it
by the Depositor, which meets the requirements of a "qualified liquidation"
under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;

            (ii) the Depositor shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of
such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the
final payment on the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, the Trustee shall sell
or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Mortgage Fund in
accordance with the terms hereof; and

            (iii) at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation of each related REMIC, and at or prior to the final Distribution
Date relating thereto, the Trustee shall sell for cash all of the assets of such
REMIC to or at the direction of the Depositor, and each related REMIC shall
terminate at such time. (b) By their acceptance of the I-R Certificates, the
Holders thereof hereby (i) agree to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation of
the related REMIC upon the written request of the Depositor and to take such
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor
and (ii) appoint the Depositor as their attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, for purposes of adopting such a plan of complete liquidation. The
Trustee shall adopt such plan of liquidation by filing the appropriate statement
on the final tax return of each related REMIC. Upon complete liquidation or
final distribution of all of the assets of the Mortgage Fund, the related Trust
Fund and each related REMIC shall terminate.

      Section 10.04 Additional Termination Requirements with respect to the
Re-REMIC Certificates.

      Notwithstanding Section 10.02 hereof, in the event that any right to sell
or distribute the Underlying Certificates is exercised, the REMIC related to the
Re-REMIC Certificates shall be terminated in its entirety, if the following
additional requirements, which are intended to meet the definition of a
"qualified liquidation" in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, are met:

      (a) the Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation
period in a statement (such statement to be prepared by the Depositor together
with a qualified plan of

                                    - 142 -
<PAGE>

complete liquidation and delivered to the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee) attached to the related REMIC's final tax return prepared by the
Securities Administrator, 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 evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee and Securities Administrator (which shall not be an
expense of the Trustee); and

      (b) immediately following the making of the final payment on the Re-REMIC
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed
or credited, to the Holders of the Class II-R Certificates all cash on hand
(other than cash retained to meet claims), in the Re-REMIC Fund.

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

      Section 11.01 Intent of Parties.

      The parties intend that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV
shall be treated as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and that the
provisions of this Agreement should be construed in furtherance of this intent.

      Section 11.02 Amendment.

      (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
(with the consent of Radian except with respect to any amendment related to the
Re-REMIC Certificates) but without notice to or the consent of any of the
related Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provisions herein or therein, to comply with any changes in the Code or 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, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and Radian, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any related Certificateholder (determined
without regard to the Policy) or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
for federal income tax purposes as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed
to the Trustee but not at the Trustee's expense.

      (b) With respect to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, this Agreement
may also be amended from time to time by the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, (with the consent of
Radian) and the Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the applicable
Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, 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 related Certificateholders; 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) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates the Holders of

Holders of all Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates then outstanding, or (iii)
cause any related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and
Radian which shall be provided to the Trustee and Radian other than at the
Trustee's expense or Radian's expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, for purposes of giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this first paragraph of Section 11.02(b), Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
registered in the name of or held for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee or any Affiliate

      With respect to the Re-REMIC Certificates, this Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by the Company, the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, and the Holders of Re-REMIC Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the
Re-REMIC Fund or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects
only such Class or Classes, 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 related Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Underlying Certificates
which are required to be distributed on any Re-REMIC Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of Re-REMIC Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Re-REMIC Certificates
then outstanding, or (iii) cause any related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed
to the Trustee which shall be provided to the Trustee other than at the
Trustee's expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for
purposes of giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.02(b),
Re-REMIC Certificates registered in the name of or held for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof
shall be entitled to vote their Fractional Undivided Interests with respect to
matters affecting such Re-REMIC Certificates

      (c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish a copy of such amendment or written notification of the substance of
such amendment to each related Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating
Agencies and Radian.

      (d) In the case of an amendment under the second paragraph of Subsection
11.02(b) above, it shall not be necessary for the related Certificateholders to
approve the particular form of such an amendment. Rather, it shall be sufficient
if the related Certificateholders approve the substance of the amendment. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by related Certificateholders shall be subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

      (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trustee stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the
Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's own respective rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.

      Section 11.03 Recordation of Agreement.

      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
Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording
office or elsewhere. The Depositor shall effect such recordation, at the expense
of the Trust upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if
such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense
of the

                                    - 145 -
<PAGE>

Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation
would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders
or is required by law.

      Section 11.04 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

      (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate
this Agreement or the Trust, 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, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.

      (b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Certificateholders
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be
construed so as to establish the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholders 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.

      (c) 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, under or with respect to this Agreement against the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such
parties unless (i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given to the
Trustee a written notice of a continuing default, as herein provided, (ii) the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 51% of the Trust Fund 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 and expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby, and (iii) the Trustee, for 60 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.

      (d) No one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of
any provision of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other
Certificateholders or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common
benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

      Section 11.05 Acts of Certificateholders.

      (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by
an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are

                                    - 146 -
<PAGE>

delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 11.05.

      (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such
instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

      (c) The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in
accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Certificate presented in accordance with
Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor
any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

      (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action of the holder of any Certificate shall bind every future holder
of the same Certificate and the holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof
with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Certificates.

      (e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder,
Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as
otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor's right to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be.

                                  SERIES 2005-1

      evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable
      to the Class I-[A]-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust
      Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured
      by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by
      STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

            This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental
entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer
or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of
their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or
other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

            This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership
interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a
trust (the "Trust Fund") primarily consisting of fixed rate

                                     A-1-2
<PAGE>

mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential
properties (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc. ("SAMI II"). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC
Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
("Wells Fargo") will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the "Master
Servicer", which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement
referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the
"Agreement"), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and company (the
"Seller"), SAMI II, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity,
the "Securities Administrator") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

            [[Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to
the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the
Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through
Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement.] The Trustee
will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a
Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount [(of interest and] principal[, if
any)] required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same
Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced
to zero.]

            [Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the
25th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date
(as hereinafter defined) occurs (or, with respect to the first accrual period,
the Closing Date) to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which
that Distribution Date occurs on the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount hereof
at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as
further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day
of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately
following Business Day (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and
principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of
the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Class of Certificates
will be reduced to zero.]

                                     A-1-3
<PAGE>

            Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this
Certificate is set forth above. [The Current Principal Amount hereof will be
reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any
Realized Losses allocable hereto.]

            This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates"). The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

            The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the
Trustee is not 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 hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the
Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the
Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a 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 in authorized
denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee.

                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>

            The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any
such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with
respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of
(i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B)
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the
Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement
of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or
after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the "latest possible maturity date" specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

            Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized
signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

            This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership
interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a
trust (the "Trust Fund") primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans
secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties
(collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset Mortgage
Investments II Inc. ("SAMI II"). The

                                     A-2-4
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") to SAMI II. Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") will act as master servicer of
the Mortgage Loans (the "Master Servicer", which term includes any successors
thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date
specified above (the "Agreement"), among EMC as seller and company (the
"Seller"), SAMI II, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity,
the "Securities Administrator"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

            Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to
the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the
Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through
Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will
distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any)
required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as
this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity
date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.

            Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set
forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.

            [For Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class I-B-6][No transfer of this
Class I-B-[_] Certificate will be made unless such transfer is (i) exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws
and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Agreement. In the event
that such transfer is to be made the Trustee shall register such transfer if,
(i) made to a transferee who has provided the Trustee with evidence as to its
QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that
the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and
(B) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the

                                     A-2-5
<PAGE>

Trustee an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that (A) and (B) above are met sufficient to confirm that such
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable laws.]

            [For Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2 and Class I-B-3][Each beneficial owner
of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to have represented,
by virtue of its acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein,
that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Plan"), or investing with assets of
a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time
("Exemption"), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the
availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at
the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard &
Poor's, Fitch, Inc. or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is
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 Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 have been satisfied.]

            [For Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class I-B-6][This Certificate may
not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit
plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or
represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the
servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not
result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or
class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to,
Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60
or PTE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the
part of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, which will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry
Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section
5.07 of the Agreement is provided.]

            This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates"). The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

            The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the
Trustee is not 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 hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

                                     A-2-6
<PAGE>

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the
Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the
Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a 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 in authorized
denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee.

            The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any
such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with
respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of
(i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B)
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the
Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement
of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or
after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the
Certificates. In no event, however,

                                     A-2-7
<PAGE>

will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i)
the "latest possible maturity date" specified in Section 5.01(d) of the
Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons
identified in the Agreement.

            Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized
signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

                                  SERIES 2005-1

      evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable
      to the Class I-PO Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund
      consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by
      first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by
      STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

            This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental
entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer
or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of
their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or
other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

            This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership
interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a
trust (the "Trust Fund") primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans
secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties
(collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset Mortgage
Investments II Inc. ("SAMI II"). The

                                     A-3-2
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") to SAMI II. Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") will act as master servicer of
the Mortgage Loans (the "Master Servicer", which term includes any successors
thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date
specified above (the "Agreement"), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and
company (the "Seller"), SAMI II, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in
such capacity, the "Securities Administrator") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

            The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day
(each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the First Distribution Date
specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding
the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the
Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of
principal required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same
Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest
scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on
which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced
to zero.

            Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set
forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.

            This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates"). The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

            The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the
Trustee is not 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 hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

                                     A-3-3

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the
Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the
Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a 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 in authorized
denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee.

            The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any
such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with
respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of
(i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B)
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the
Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement
of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or
after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the
Certificates. In no event, however,

                                     A-3-4
<PAGE>

will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i)
the "latest possible maturity date" specified in Section 5.01(d) of the
Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons
identified in the Agreement.

            Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized
signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

                                  SERIES 2005-1

      evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable
      to the Class I-R Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund
      (as defined below) consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage
      loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties
      sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

            This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental
entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer
or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of
their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or
other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

            This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered
owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial
ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a
portion of a trust (the "Trust Fund") primarily consisting of fixed rate
mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential
properties (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") sold by Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc. ("SAMI II"). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC
Mortgage Corporation

                                     A-4-3
<PAGE>

("EMC") to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") will
act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the "Master Servicer", which term
includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of the Cut-off Date specified above (the "Agreement'), among SAMI II, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Master
Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities
Administrator"), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and company, and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.

            Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to
the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the
Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through
Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will
distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any)
required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as
this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity
date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.

            Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests
by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire
transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in
such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set
forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.

            Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each
person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a
United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to
SAMI II, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an
affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted
Transferee, (iii) 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, and (iv) if any
person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any

                                     A-4-4
<PAGE>

Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then
the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to
the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected
by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the
Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

            This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or
on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is
subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel
addressed to the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and
on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator) which is acceptable to the Trustee,
that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a
nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will
not give rise to any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.

            This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as set forth on the face hereof (the "Certificates").. The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

            The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the
Trustee is not 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 hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the
Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in
certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the
Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the

                                     A-4-5
<PAGE>

Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee.

            The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the
same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any
such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with
respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of
(i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B)
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the
Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement
of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or
after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the "latest possible maturity date" specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

            Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized
signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the
Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate as of the Closing Date
by the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class II-A-[__] Certificates
as of the Closing Date) representing a specified beneficial ownership interest
in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be
dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the "Agreement"), among SAMI II,
as depositor (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as
Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities
Administrator"), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and company, and JPMORGAN
CHASE BANK, N.A., as trustee (hereinafter called the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is

                                     A-5-2
<PAGE>

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.

            Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made
on the 25th day of each calendar month (or if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing
on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered 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 the Holders of all of the Class II-A-[__]
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.01 of the
Agreement.

            All distributions made under Section 6.01 of the Agreement on this
Certificate will be made by the Trustee (i) by wire transfer in immediately
available funds, if the Certificateholder shall have so notified the Trustee in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (ii) by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the
final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
location as may be specified in such notice.

            No transfer of this Class II-A-[__] Certificate will be made unless
such transfer is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.09
of the Agreement. In the event that such transfer is to be made the Trustee
shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has provided the
Trustee with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has
advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an
Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such transfer the transferee
furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above are met sufficient to
confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and other applicable laws.

            The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Underlying Certificates or in certain
instances distributions thereof in kind, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its
rights therein) for distributions hereunder. As provided in the Agreement,
withdrawals from the Re-REMIC Certificate Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the Trust Fund.

            Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate (or any
predecessor Certificate or this Class) in respect of principal hereof is binding
on such Holder and all future Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such distribution is made upon this Certificate.

                                     A-5-3
<PAGE>

            The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in the minimum denomination specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. In addition to the extent provided in the Agreement, this Certificate or a
permitted portion hereof may be exchanged for a pro rata amount of the
Underlying Certificates, subject to rounding downward, if necessary, to comply
with minimum denomination requirements.

            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 Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below and by such other documents as required by the
Agreement and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

            The Certificates have not been registered or qualified under the
Securities Act or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition of any Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made
without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require, in order to
assure compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee
each certify to the Depositor and the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. Such certifications shall be substantially in the forms of
Exhibits E, F-1 and F-2 to the Agreement, respectively. Neither the Depositor
nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall indemnify, pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

            No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, 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 and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The Trust Fund and the obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee
created by the Agreement with respect to the Certificates shall terminate upon
distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of all
amounts (or in certain instances Underlying Certificates in kind) held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed to them

                                     A-5-4
<PAGE>

pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of a specific person named in the Agreement
living on the date of the Agreement.

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related
to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected
Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests
thereof). 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 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.

            THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING
CONFLICT OF LAWS) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.

            Unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

by the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class II-A-[__] Certificates

Administrator"), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and company, and JPMORGAN
CHASE BANK, N.A., as trustee (hereinafter called the "Trustee," which term

pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is

                                     A-6-3
<PAGE>

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.

            Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made
on the 25th day of each calendar month (or if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing
on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this

the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the
amount required to be distributed to the Holders of all of the Class II-A-[__]
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.01 of the
Agreement.

            All distributions made under Section 6.01 of the Agreement on this
Certificate will be made by the Trustee (i) by wire transfer in immediately
available funds, if the Certificateholder shall have so notified the Trustee in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (ii) by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the
final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
location as may be specified in such notice.

            No transfer of this Class II-A-[__] Certificate will be made unless
such transfer is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.09
of the Agreement. In the event that such transfer is to be made the Trustee
shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has provided the
Trustee with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has
advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an
Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such transfer the transferee
furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above are met sufficient to
confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and other applicable laws.

            The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Underlying Certificates or in certain
instances distributions thereof in kind, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its
rights therein) for distributions hereunder. As provided in the Agreement,
withdrawals from the Re-REMIC Certificate Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the Trust Fund.

            Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate (or any
predecessor Certificate or this Class) in respect of principal hereof is binding
on such Holder and all future Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such distribution is made upon this Certificate.

                                     A-6-4
<PAGE>

            The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in the minimum denomination specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. In addition to the extent provided in the Agreement, this Certificate or a
permitted portion hereof may be exchanged for a pro rata amount of the
Underlying Certificates, subject to rounding downward, if necessary, to comply
with minimum denomination requirements.

            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 Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below and by such other documents as required by the
Agreement and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

            The Certificates have not been registered or qualified under the
Securities Act or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition of any Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made
without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require, in order to
assure compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee
each certify to the Depositor and the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. Such certifications shall be substantially in the forms of
Exhibits E, F-1 and F-2 to the Agreement, respectively. Neither the Depositor
nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall indemnify, pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

            No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, 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 and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The Trust Fund and the obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee
created by the Agreement with respect to the Certificates shall terminate upon
distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of all
amounts (or in certain instances Underlying Certificates in kind) held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed to them

                                     A-6-5
<PAGE>

pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of a specific person named in the Agreement
living on the date of the Agreement.

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related
to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected
Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests
thereof). 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 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.

            THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING
CONFLICT OF LAWS) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.

            Unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                              CLASS II-RCERTIFICATE

      evidencing a partial beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a trust
      fund (the "Trust Fund") including (i) the Underlying Certificates, (ii)
      all distributions thereon after the Underlying Distribution Date in
      January 2005, and (iii) the Re-REMIC Certificate Account and such assets

dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate as of the
Closing Date by the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class II-R
Certificates as of the Closing Date) representing a specified beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to be dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the "Agreement"),
among SAMI II, as depositor (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement), Wells Fargo Bank, National

the "Securities Administrator"), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and
company, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as trustee (hereinafter called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement) and
auction administrator, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which
is set forth hereafter. 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.

                                     A-7-3
<PAGE>

            Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made
on the 25th day of each calendar month (or if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing
on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered 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 the Holders of all of the Class II-R
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. For Record
Date, accounting and certain other purposes as described herein, if any
Distribution Date occurs in the month following the month in which the
corresponding Underlying Distribution Date occurs, such date will be deemed to
fall on the last day of the month in which the Underlying Distribution Date
occurs.

            All distributions made under the Agreement on this Certificate will
be made by the Trustee (i) by wire transfer in immediately available funds, if
the Certificateholder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (ii) by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall
appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location as may be
specified in such notice.

            The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Underlying Certificates or in certain
instances distributions thereof in kind, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its
rights therein) for distributions hereunder. As provided in the Agreement,
withdrawals from the Re-REMIC Certificate Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the Trust Fund.

            Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate (or any
predecessor Certificate or this Class) in respect of principal hereof is binding
on such Holder and all future Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such distribution is made upon this Certificate.

            The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in the minimum denomination specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. In addition to the extent provided in the Agreement, this Certificate or a
permitted portion hereof may be exchanged for a pro rata amount of the
Underlying Certificates, subject to rounding downward, if necessary, to comply
with minimum denomination requirements.

            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 Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below and by such other documents as required by

                                     A-7-4
<PAGE>

the Agreement and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

            The Certificates have not been registered or qualified under the
Securities Act or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition of any Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made
without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require, in order to
assure compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee
each certify to the Depositor and the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding
the transfer. Such certifications shall be substantially in the forms of
Exhibits B and D to the Agreement, respectively. Neither the Depositor nor the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall indemnify, pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

            This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or
on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is
subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel
addressed to the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and
on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator) which is acceptable to the Trustee,
that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a
nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will
not give rise to any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.

            No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, 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 and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The Trust Fund and the obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee
created by the Agreement with respect to the Certificates shall terminate upon
distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of all
amounts (or in certain instances Underlying Certificates in kind) held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed to them pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement

                                     A-7-5
<PAGE>

continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of a specific person named in the Agreement living on the
date of the Agreement.

            The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related
to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected
Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests
thereof). 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 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.

            THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING
CONFLICT OF LAWS) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.

            Unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any
                  way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act
                  and any applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws or an

            Section 2.1. Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage
Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for

as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and

includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is
specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the
Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the
Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate
public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the
Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office
for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt
thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage
to the Custodian.

            Section 2.3. Review of Mortgage Files.

            (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02

Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One
evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File

annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been
executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on
Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under
no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face.

            (c) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian
shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a Final
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as
to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality,
enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of
any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any
Mortgage File.

            Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian
shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the
documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

            Section 2.4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the
Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related
Servicer and the Trustee.

            Section 2.5. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and
that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer
Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to
promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

            Upon the Custodian's receipt of a request for release (a "Request
for Release") substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer
stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment
in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian
agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File.
The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept
the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.

            From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary
Insurance Policy, the related Servicer (or if the Servicer does not, the Master
Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a
Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be
released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such
release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage
provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to
the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any
document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need
therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan
has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the
Distribution Account or (ii) 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 related Servicer

                                      G-3
<PAGE>

has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying
as to 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.

            At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian
a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for
Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such Request for
Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer
transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In
connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be followed by an
assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the
Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without
recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and be returned to the
Seller provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered
on the MERS System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage
Note by the Trustee shall be required. In connection with any Request for
Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan,
such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction
or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and
returned to the related Servicer.

            Section 2.6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is
entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement,
shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to
the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting parts thereof.

                            CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

            Section 3.1. Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With
respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each
Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively
the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the
Trustee, Radian Asset Assurance Inc. and the Certificateholders and undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon
compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage
Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the
Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the
possession of the Custodian.

            Section 3.2. Custodian May Own Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.
The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates with the same rights it would have
if it were not Custodian.

            Section 3.3. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian's Fees and Expenses.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to
time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse
the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is
indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

            Section 3.4. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The
Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as
such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall
either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Radian Asset Assurance Inc. and
the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have
taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been
so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

            The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of
the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any
successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to

                                      G-5
<PAGE>

satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be
unaffiliated with the Servicer or the Depositor.

            Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a
successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The
Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor, Radian Asset Assurance Inc.
and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No
successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval
of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

            Section 3.5. Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into
which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian
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.

            Section 3.6. Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby
represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus
of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in
which it will hold any Mortgage File.

                                   ARTICLE IV.
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 4.1. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands
and other communications required under this Agreement or pursuant to any other
instrument or document delivered hereunder shall be in writing and, unless
otherwise specifically provided, may be delivered personally, by telegram or
telex, or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, at the addresses specified on the signature page hereof (unless
changed by the particular party whose address is stated herein by similar notice
in writing), or in the case of Radian Asset Assurance Inc., to 335 Madison
Avenue, New York, New York 10017 or by email at ABSRM@radian.biz, in which case
the notice will be deemed delivered when received.

            Section 4.2. Amendments. No modification or amendment of or
supplement to this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless the same is in
writing and signed by all parties hereto, and neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any amendment hereof except as
permitted by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt
notice to the Custodian of any amendment or supplement to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and furnish the Custodian with written copies thereof.

            Section 4.3. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED A
CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

            Section 4.4. Recordation of Agreement. 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 Depositor and at the Trust's expense, but
only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Depositor to the effect that the failure to effect such recordation is
likely to materially and adversely affect 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 4.5. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the holders thereof.

                    FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

            MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of January 28, 2005, as
amended and supplemented by any and all amendments hereto (collectively, the
"Agreement"), by and between EMC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(the "Mortgage Loan Seller") and STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

            Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the
Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase,
certain conventional, first lien mortgage loans secured primarily by one- to
four-family residential properties, an interest in shares issued by a
cooperative apartment corporation and the related proprietary lease and
individual condominium units (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") as described
herein. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a trust fund
(the "Trust Fund") and create Prime Mortgage Trust 2005-1, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-1 (the "Certificates"), under a pooling and servicing
agreement, to be dated as of January 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as master servicer and securities administrator, JPMorgan Chase

Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"). Such registration statement, when

public offering of certain classes of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates by
the Purchaser (the "Public Offering"), as each may be amended or supplemented
from time to time pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise, are referred to
herein as the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus," respectively. The
"Prospectus Supplement" shall mean that supplement, dated January 25, 2005 to
the Prospectus, dated December 20, 2004, relating to certain classes of the
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. With respect to the Public Offering of
certain classes of the Certificates, the Purchaser and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
("Bear Stearns") have entered into a terms agreement dated as of January 25,
2005 to an underwriting agreement dated January 25, 2005, between the Purchaser
and Bear Stearns (together, the "Underwriting Agreement").

                                      J-4
<PAGE>

to by the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller (each of the Closing Date and
such later date is referred to as a "Mortgage File Delivery Date"), the items of
each Mortgage File, provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the
Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver the following documents, under the
circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument,
assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been
delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information
relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be
delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the
Mortgage Loan Seller in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the
Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the
Mortgage Loan Seller, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows:
"Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been
transmitted for recording"; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignments
to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable
jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a
certification from the Mortgage Loan Seller to such effect) the Mortgage Loan
Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original
certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the
jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage
Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by
the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit
5, the Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of
the Mortgage Loan Seller; and (z) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required
to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the
related Underlying Seller and the Mortgage Loan Seller, between the Mortgage
Loan Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and
provided further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been
prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to
the Trustee a certification by the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer
to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage
Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any
original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered)
or such certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are received. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if
any, and the assignment of the Security Instrument to be recorded not later than
180 days after the Closing Date, unless such assignment is not required to be
recorded under the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.

            (c) In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Mortgage Loan Seller further agrees that
it will cause, at the Mortgage Loan Seller's own expense, within 30 days after
the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have
been assigned by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser
to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code
in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of the Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Mortgage Loan Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit any
Servicer or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will
not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage
Loan during the term of the Pooling

                                      J-5
<PAGE>

and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

            (d) The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge hereunder
that all of the Mortgage Loans and the related servicing will ultimately be
assigned to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the Certificateholders, on
the date hereof.

            SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files.

            (a) On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Mortgage Loan
Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent
for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the Mortgage Loan
Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller's custodian. The fact that the Purchaser
or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's rights to
demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this
Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall make
the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to time so
as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Mortgage Loan Seller's compliance with
the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Mortgage
Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to any
investors or prospective investors in the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
information regarding the Mortgage Loans and their servicing, to make the
Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to such investors or
prospective investors (which may be at the offices of the Mortgage Loan Seller
and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller's custodian) and to make available personnel
knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans for discussions with the Purchaser, Bear
Stearns and such investors or prospective investors, upon reasonable request
during regular business hours, sufficient to permit the Purchaser, Bear Stearns
and such investors or potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any
such party reasonably believes is appropriate.

            (b) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing
Date the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and Radian Asset Assurance Inc., will acknowledge receipt of
each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and
the Trustee of an initial certification in the form attached as Exhibit One to
the Custodial Agreement.

            (c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days
of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within
five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the
Trustee will review or shall cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage
Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller,
the Purchaser and the Trustee an interim certification substantially in the form
of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its
agent, finds any document listed on Exhibit 1 not to have been executed or
received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name,
original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in
the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face (a "Material
Defect"), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the
Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall
correct or cure

                                      J-6
<PAGE>

any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee
or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan
Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such
defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of
notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years
of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to
be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from
the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect
relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the
original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified
copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been
returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be
required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers
such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such
original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate
recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not
been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its
agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its
receipt of the original recorded document.

            (d) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 180 days
of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within
five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof) the
Trustee will review or cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files
as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of
Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its
agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent,
shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The
Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90
days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of
the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure
such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan,
the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee
with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or
purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided
that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure,
repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach
was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the
inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original Security
Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the
originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the
applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to
purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such

                                      J-7
<PAGE>

original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such
original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate
recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not
been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been
accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its
agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its
receipt of the original recorded document.

            (e) At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in
connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee in accordance with the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to the Mortgage
Loan Seller and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not
limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File)
in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and
(ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Mortgage Loan Seller
title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

            SECTION 6. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

            (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause each assignment of the
Security Instrument from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee to be recorded
not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is
not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided
to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that the recordation
of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on
the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the Mortgagee
of record solely as nominee for the Mortgage Loan Seller and its successors and
assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall
be submitted for recording by the Mortgage Loan Seller in the manner described
above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i)
reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii) the
occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller and (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

            While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if
necessary, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the
Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording
fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of
mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be
borne by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

                                      J-8
<PAGE>

            (b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser,
as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further,
not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or
other obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a
court to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of
the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the
Mortgage Loan 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, to the
extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and
proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than
investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser
or the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as 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 Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) 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 any
provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also
be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The
Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

            SECTION 7. Representations and Warranties of Mortgage Loan Seller
Concerning the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and

      of any related Mortgage Loan has taken any action to waive any default,
      breach or event of acceleration; no foreclosure action is threatened or

      Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders;

                  (vi) no selection procedure reasonably believed by the

      common areas in the case of condominiums, PUDs and de minimis PUDs) or by
      leasehold for a term longer than the term of the related Mortgage, subject
      only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments, (ii)
      covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other

      connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or referred
      to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of
      the related Mortgage Loan and (iii) other matters to which like properties

<PAGE>

      equal with, the lien of such Mortgage except those which are insured
      against by the title insurance policy referred to in (xiii) below;

                  (ix) as of the Cut-off Date, there was no delinquent tax or

                  (xi) the Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
      earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty

      condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;

      was issued on the date that each Mortgage Loan was created by a title
      insurance company which was qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
      where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Mortgage
      Loan Seller and its successors and assigns that the Mortgage is a first
      priority lien on the related Mortgaged Property in the original principal
      amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan Seller is the sole insured
      under such lender's title insurance policy, and such policy, binder or
      assurance is valid and remains in full force and effect, and each such
      policy, binder or assurance shall contain all applicable endorsements
      including a negative amortization endorsement, if applicable;

      in the locale in which the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
      which is not less than the lesser of the maximum insurable value of the
      improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal
      balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event in an amount less than an
      amount that is required to prevent the Mortgagor from being deemed to be a
      co-insurer thereunder; if the improvement on the Mortgaged Property is a
      condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket
      policy for the condominium project; if upon origination of the related
      Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property were in an area
      identified as a federally designated flood area, a flood insurance policy
      is in effect in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
      (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
      restorable cost of improvements located on such

                                      J-11

                  (xvii) none of the Mortgage Loans are (a) loans subject to 12
      CFR Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 12 CFR Part 226.34 of Regulation Z,

      Glossary, Version 5.6 Revised, Appendix E, attached hereto as Exhibit 6)
      and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March

      origination.

            It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
      set forth in this Section 7 will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
      its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
      endorsement on any Mortgage Note or assignment of Mortgage or the
      examination of any Mortgage File. Upon any substitution for a Mortgage
      Loan, the representations and warranties set forth above shall be deemed
      to be made by the Mortgage Loan Seller as to any Substitute Mortgage Loan
      as of the date of substitution.

            Upon discovery or receipt of notice by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Purchaser or the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty of the
Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in this Section 7 which materially and adversely
affects the value of the interests of the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or
the Trustee in any of the Mortgage Loans delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to
this Agreement, the party discovering or receiving notice of such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the others. In the case of any such breach of a

Seller is notified by the party discovering or receiving notice of such breach
(whichever occurs earlier), the Mortgage Loan Seller will (i) cure such breach
in all material respects, (ii) purchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the
applicable Purchase Price or (iii) if within two years of the Closing Date,
substitute a qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan in exchange for such Mortgage
Loan. The obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, purchase or
substitute a qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the
Purchaser's, the Trustee's and the Certificateholder's sole and exclusive remedy
under this Agreement or otherwise respecting a breach of representations or
warranties hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans, except for the
obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to indemnify the Purchaser for such
breach as set forth in and limited by Section 13 hereof.

            Any cause of action against the Mortgage Loan Seller or relating to
or arising out of a breach by the Mortgage Loan Seller of any representations
and warranties made in this Section 7 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon
(i) discovery of such breach by the Mortgage Loan Seller or notice thereof by
the party discovering such breach and (ii) failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller
to cure such breach, purchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.

                                      J-18
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan Seller additionally agrees to pay directly to any third party on a
timely basis the fees provided for above which are charged by such third party
and which are billed periodically.

            SECTION 12. Accountants' Letters.

            (a) Deloitte & Touche LLP will review the characteristics of a
sample of the Mortgage Loans described in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and
will compare those characteristics to the description of the Mortgage Loans
contained in the Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Summary of Prospectus
Supplement--The Mortgage Loans", "The Mortgage Pool" and "Certain
Characteristics of the Mortgage Loans" in Schedule A thereto. The Mortgage Loan
Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in making available all information and

            SECTION 13. Indemnification.

            (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser and its directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in
Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Mortgage Loan Seller's Information
as identified in Exhibit 3, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement
or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the
Mortgage Loan Seller and in which additional Mortgage Loan Seller's Information
is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with Mortgage Loan Seller's
Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty assigned or made by the
Mortgage Loan Seller in Section 7 or Section 8 hereof being, or alleged to be,
untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to perform
its obligations under this Agreement; and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
reimburse the Purchaser and each other indemnified party for any legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action.

            The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability
which the Mortgage Loan Seller otherwise may have to the Purchaser or any other
such indemnified party.

                                      J-19
<PAGE>

            (b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgage
Loan Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as
defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim,
damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser's Information as
identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or
Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the
Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser's Information is identified), in
reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser's Information, a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any
representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 9 hereof being, or
alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to
perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse
the Mortgage Loan Seller, and each other indemnified party for any legal and
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which
the Purchaser otherwise may have to the Mortgage Loan Seller, or any other such
indemnified party,

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection
(a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom
indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the
failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it
has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any
liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving
the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ
its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i)
the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of
the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the
indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the
defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of
the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and
the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the
interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive
with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties
shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel
in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this
subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be

                                      J-20
<PAGE>

liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written
consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.

            (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in
respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect
thereof, referred to in Section 13, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of
indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan Seller on the one hand and
the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
offering of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and the other transactions
contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable
for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

            (e) The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party
on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished
by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct by such indemnified party.

            SECTION 14. Notices. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing but may be delivered by facsimile transmission
subsequently confirmed in writing. Notices to the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
directed to EMC Mortgage Corporation, Mac Arthur Ridge II, 909 Hidden Ridge
Drive, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75038 (Telecopy: (972-444-2880)), and notices to
the Purchaser shall be directed to Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II
Inc., 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179 (Telecopy: (212-272-7206)),
Attention: Baron Silverstein; or to any other address as may hereafter be
furnished by one party to the other party by like notice. Any such demand,
notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the
date received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of
registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt) provided
that it is received on a business day during normal business hours and, if
received after normal business hours, then it shall be deemed to be received on
the next business day.

            SECTION 15. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser retains the
right to assign the Mortgage Loans and any or all of its interest under this
Agreement to the Trustee without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, and,
upon such assignment, the Trustee shall succeed to the applicable rights and
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, the Purchaser shall
remain entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 11, 13 and 17 hereto and
as provided in Section 2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and
exclusive right and remedy of the Trustee with respect to a breach of
representation or warranty of the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be the purchase or
substitution obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in Sections 5 and
7 hereof.

            SECTION 16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the
mutual consent of the parties hereto prior to the Closing Date, (b) by the
Purchaser, if the conditions to the Purchaser's obligation to close set forth
under Section 10(a) hereof are not fulfilled as and

                                      J-21
<PAGE>

when required to be fulfilled or (c) by the Mortgage Loan Seller, if the
conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller's obligation to close set forth under
Section 10(b) hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled. In
the event of termination pursuant to clause (b), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
pay, and in the event of termination pursuant to clause (c), the Purchaser shall
pay, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a
termination pursuant to clause (a), each party shall be responsible for its own
expenses.

            SECTION 17. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Mortgage Loan Seller
submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect
and shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser (and by the
Purchaser to the Trustee). Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller's representations and warranties
contained herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to relate to
the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to the Purchaser and included in the Final
Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Substitute Mortgage Loan and not to those
Mortgage Loans deleted from the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule pursuant to
Section 3 hereof prior to the Closing.

            SECTION 18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall
be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, the Agreement shall be
ineffective only to such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.

            SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which will be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

            SECTION 20. Amendment. This Agreement cannot be amended or modified
in any manner without the prior written consent of each party.

            SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

            SECTION 22. Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to
execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as another party may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to
carry out the terms of this Agreement including any amendments hereto which may
be required by either Rating Agency.

            SECTION 23. Successors and Assigns.

      This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser and their permitted successors and
assigns and, to the extent specified in Section 13 hereof, Bear Stearns, and
their directors, officers and controlling persons (within the meaning of federal
securities laws). The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and

                                      J-22
<PAGE>

agrees that the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller's representations
and warranties respecting the Mortgage Loans) to the Trustee. Any person into
which the Mortgage Loan Seller may be merged or consolidated (or any person
resulting from any merger or consolidation involving the Mortgage Loan Seller),
any person resulting from a change in form of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any
person succeeding to the business of the Mortgage Loan Seller, shall be
considered the "successor" of the Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder and shall be
considered a party hereto without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act or consent on the part of any party hereto. Except as provided in
the two preceding sentences, this Agreement cannot be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by either party hereto without the written consent of the other
parties to this Agreement and any such assignment or purported assignment shall
be deemed null and void.

            SECTION 24. The Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will
keep in full force and effect its existence, all rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the State of its incorporation and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary to perform its obligations
under this Agreement.

            SECTION 25. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.

            SECTION 26. No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties
hereto.

APPENDIX E - Standard & Poor's Anti-Predatory Lending Categorization

Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws
in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and
tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

                  (ii) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording
         thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of
         the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant
         to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
         recourse;

                  (iv) the original recorded intervening 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) or the original unrecorded
         intervening Assignments;

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

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or an
         attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to
         mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which
         were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, 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.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),

either (x) has not been returned from the

                                       62
<PAGE>

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 to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, of a copy of each such document certified by the applicable 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 applicable Originator,
delivery to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such
document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original. If the original lender's title insurance policy
was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian
on behalf of 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, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of 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 Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly
(and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon
a mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee, following the
later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the
Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the Master
Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to
in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment
referred to in section 2.01(iii) above in the following form: "Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement." In the event
that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly prepare
or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured
such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be
duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless 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 further, however, each Assignment shall
be submitted for recording by the Seller 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 or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) failure of the Master Servicer
Termination Test, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to
the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section
7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to
any one Assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost
of

                                       63
<PAGE>

recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and shall
be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or
the Master 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, or to
the appropriate Custodian on behalf of 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 Master Servicer.

                  The parties 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 HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive
lending laws.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below,
the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to
a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed
agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii),
(iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account)
and declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or shall 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.

                  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer an
acknowledgment of receipt of the Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted),
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note
within 45 days of the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in the form of
the Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) 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 or
such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the
related borrower and relate to such

                                       64
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the Custodian's examination and only as to
the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6), (9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) 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 or such Custodian 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, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether
any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of
Section 2.01.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer
a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause
the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form attached to the Custodial
Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans.
Upon the request of the Master Servicer, any exception report related to the
final certification shall be provided in an electronic computer readable format
as mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

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

                  The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall,
at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner,
provide a written report to such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner, of all
Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.

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

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice
under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document
is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee

                                       65
<PAGE>

shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the
Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach in all material respects during such period, the Master Servicer (or, in
accordance with Section 6.06(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of
the Seller 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 Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) of such missing
document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to
do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in
the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall 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 Seller 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(c). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or
breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

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

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

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

                  (B) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of

                                       66
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii) If with respect to any Prepayment Period,

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

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

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

                  (c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the
Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, 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 Seller or the
Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may
be, delivering to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall

                                       67
<PAGE>

acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and,
within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the
Master 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, the NIMS Insurer and
the Master 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 shall be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may
be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall
reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer
that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge 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 and the NIMS Insurer. Upon
such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall
constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the
Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof.

                  For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution
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 Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date
of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution,
the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Master 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 Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

                  In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution shall 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

                                       68
<PAGE>

the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.

                  (d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller
or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt
of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by the Seller. 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 Depositor or the Seller, 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 for breach of a
representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

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

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

                  (i) The Master Servicer is a corporation duly organized,
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
         Delaware and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all

         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 Master Servicer has the full corporate power and
         authority to service each Mortgage Loan, and to execute, deliver and
         perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement and has duly authorized by all necessary corporate
         action on the part of the Master Servicer the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due
         authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Depositor and the
         Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
         Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance
         with its terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability
         thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
         other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable
         defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
         therefor may be brought;

                                       69
<PAGE>

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
         Servicer hereunder, the consummation 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 Master
         Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
         of the charter or by-laws of the Master 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 Master Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or
         any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer of
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
         having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master 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 Master Servicer's
         knowledge, would in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the
         ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this
         Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition,
         properties or assets of the Master Servicer taken as a whole;

                  (iv) The Master Servicer is an approved seller/servicer for
         Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved
         mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National
         Housing Act;

                  (v) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no
         litigation is pending against the Master Servicer that would materially
         and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
         Agreement or the ability of the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage
         Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in
         accordance with the terms hereof;

                  (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
         or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
         and performance by the Master Servicer of, or compliance by the Master
         Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation 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;

                  (vii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
         Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 2 (including the prepayment charge
         summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material
         respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is
         furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in
         accordance with its terms (except to the extent that (i) the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
         rights generally and (ii) the collectability thereof may be limited due
         to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
         payment;

                                       70
<PAGE>

                  (viii) The Master Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment
         Charge or part of a Prepayment Charge unless, (i) the enforceability
         thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited
         due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other
         involuntary payment or (iii) in the Master Servicer's reasonable
         judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates
         to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would
         maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
         such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is

         any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a
         Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
         default). In no event shall the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment
         Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not
         related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default;

                  (ix) The information set forth in the "monthly tape" provided
         to the Trustee or any of its affiliates is true and correct in all
         material respects;

                  (x) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Assignment is in
         recordable form; (except that the name of the assignee and the
         recording information with respect to such Mortgage Loan is blank) and
         each Mortgage Loan was originated in the name of the Master Servicer or
         an affiliate thereof;

                  (xi) The Master Servicer has fully furnished and shall
         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; and

                  (xii) The Master Servicer shall transmit full-file credit
         reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide
         Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
         shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new
         origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed,
         or charged-off.

                  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 or to a Custodian, as the case may be, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Master 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, 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 NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, the
obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(b) to cure breaches
(or in the case of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Section 2.05(vii) and Section 2.05(viii)

                                       71

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

                  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-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 Certificateholders and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I
Regular Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in
respect of the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests,
respectively, 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 I by the Trustee; Issuance
                                 of Class R Certificates.

                  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
Certificateholders 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 Certificateholders and REMIC I (as holder of
the REMIC II Regular Interests). The rights of the Class R Certificateholders
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests) to receive
distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in respect of the Class R
Certificates and REMIC I Regular Interests, respectively, and all ownership
interests evidenced or constituted by the Class R Certificates and the REMIC I
Regular Interests, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC I
Regular Interests and, concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, pursuant
to the written request of the

                                       72
<PAGE>

Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor or the Trustee has executed
and the Certificate Registrar has authenticated and delivered to or upon the
order of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in authorized denominations.
The interests evidenced by the Class R Certificates, together with the REMIC I
Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC
I.

                                  ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

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

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

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

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

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

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or

                                       73
<PAGE>

cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or
of modification and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of
such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in
the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
(iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of
the Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon terms and conditions the Master
Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond
to civil actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged
Property or REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other
document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing
Standard.

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

                  Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

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

                  (A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except
         as provided in Section 4.03);

                  (B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
         respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
         or forgive the payment of

                                       74
<PAGE>

         any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding Stated
         Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments
         of principal) or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan
         (unless as provided in Section 3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default
         with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such default is, in the
         judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable); and

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

                  To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or
permit a 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) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.

                  The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed
to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Master 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 Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provision of
any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory
arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent
shall be required for any modification,

                                       75
<PAGE>

waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which
have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause
(iii) above, the Master 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 arrangements.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such
Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than
the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications,
variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences
collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in
determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue,
the Master Servicer shall adhere to the Loss Mitigation Action Plan. The Master
Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 and the Loss Mitigation Action
Plan shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances
that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master 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 master servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].

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

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

                  (b) DEPOSITS TO THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account

                                       76
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
         pursuant to Section 2.03 (for purposes of this clause (vii), the
         Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
         shall be deemed to be the date of substitution);

                  (viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03(b); and

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

                                       77
<PAGE>

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

                  (c) ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which

                  (d) DEPOSITS TO THE ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall

this Agreement separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust Fund one or more
segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

                  (f) TRUSTEE DEPOSITS TO THE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. Upon
receipt, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the
Distribution Account all payments of any nature received from the Master
Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the
Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.06 in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to
funds held in the Distribution Account. Furthermore, promptly upon receipt of
any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or

deposit into the Distribution Account and for all purposes of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account until the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this paragraph. In the
event the Master 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 that the Trustee withdraw such

                                       79
<PAGE>

amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (h) INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT FUNDS. Funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.06. Any investment earnings or interest paid
on funds deposited in the Collection Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) shall accrue to the benefit of the Master
Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such
interest from each such account on a daily basis. Any investment earnings or
interest paid on funds deposited in the Distribution Account, shall accrue to
the benefit of the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to retain and
withdraw such interest from each such account on a daily basis.

                   (i) CREATION, LOCATION AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNTS.
Each account created pursuant to this Agreement must be an Eligible Account. On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall give
notice, to each other, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of the location of any
account created by it pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may each transfer any account created by it to a
different depository institution provided that upon such transfer the written
notice is provided to all other parties listed in the preceding sentence.

                  (j) In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A.

time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes or as

         any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
         (c) any unreimbursed Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimburse
         itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to any Late
         Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Insurance
         Proceeds received on the related Mortgage Loan and any amounts received
         in respect of the rental of the related REO Property prior to an REO
         Disposition that represent payments of principal and/or interest
         respecting which any such advance was made;

                                       80
<PAGE>

                  (iii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees to
         the extent not recoverable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and (b) any unpaid
         Advances or Servicing Advances that have been deemed Nonrecoverable
         Advances or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;

                  (v) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to
         Section 3.12(b) (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);

                  (vi) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest
         earned on funds in the Collection Account;

                  (vii) subject to Section 4.03(b), to reimburse the Master
         Servicer in respect of any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds
         held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not
         included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

                  (viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for
         expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the
         Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;

                  (ix) to remit to the Trustee any amounts that the Trustee is
         permitted to be paid or reimbursed from the assets of the Trust Fund
         pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the terms of Section
         7.02(a) and Section 8.05 of this Agreement;

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

                  (xi) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor 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(a) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of
         purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

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

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

                  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

                                       81
<PAGE>

succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess shall be remitted to the Trustee,
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 Master Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.

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

                  The Master 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), (vii),
(viii) and (xi) above. The Master Servicer shall provide written notification to
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the next succeeding Master
Servicer Reporting Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account
pursuant to subclause (viii) above.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       82
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (vi) [reserved]; and

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

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

                  (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)), and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.06, each an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment
Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in
its capacity as such) or in the name of a

                                       82
<PAGE>

nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except
with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account,
the Escrow Account, and the REO Account) over each such investment and (except
with respect to the income on funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow
Account and the REO Account) the income thereon, and any certificate or other
instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the
Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to
transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event
amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

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

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

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

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

                  (d) Funds on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 4.11
and any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in
the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on
Permitted Investments in such account.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of

                                       84
<PAGE>

Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.

                  (f) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
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 pursuant to Section 3.05.

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

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

                  SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
Stated 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 and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, 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
Master 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing
Advances (each measured at the time

                                       85
<PAGE>

it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall 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 Master
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
Master 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 3.05, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.13, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated 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, the Master Servicer
shall 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
Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (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); and (iii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related Mortgaged
Property.

                  SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.

                  In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of
"A:V" 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 Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of Section 3.08, 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 Master Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such policy.

                  SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

                  The Master 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

                                       86
<PAGE>

the Master 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 Master
Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac. The Master 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
Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
(upon reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and
fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Master 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 Master 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 Master
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 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                Agreements.

                  The Master Servicer shall, 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 Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if
prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master 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 Master Servicer is authorized to 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 Master 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 Master Servicer. In connection with
any assumption or substitution, the Master 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 Master 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, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained.
Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Master 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

                                       87
<PAGE>

modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof or
otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee and any respective Custodian that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee or to such Custodian,
as the case may be, the executed original of such substitution 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 Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11,
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 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master 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 shall 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
3.12 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
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 Master 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:

                                       88
<PAGE>

                  (i) 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

                  (ii) 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.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit
reveals, or if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such
Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the
Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure
without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), 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 Master 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 Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated
in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost
of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by
the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), 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) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii);
second,

                                       89
<PAGE>

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 shall be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and
owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall
be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(ii).

                  SECTION 3.13. 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. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section
3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO
Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to
this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as
attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the
third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund 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 Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition shall 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 Master Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and 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 Master 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 with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

                                       90
<PAGE>

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement
(including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan), to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the
Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the
Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and
appropriate to effect the prompt disposition and sale of the REO Property. In
connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof,
and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all
revenues received 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 Master
Servicer shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such
purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the
Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer's judgment,
the payment of such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or sale of the
REO Property.

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

                  (i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend
         any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its
         terms shall 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 shall 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

                                       91
<PAGE>

         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 Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
action shall 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 the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written
notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific
action may be taken.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       92
<PAGE>

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.13(c), the Master 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 Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.04(g)(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
3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.13(a) (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each
REO Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition") each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as shall be in conformity with the requirements of the
Loss Mitigation Action Plan and as shall be normal and usual in its general
servicing activities for similar properties.

                  (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 Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master 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).

                  SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].

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

                  The Master 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 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 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                           (a) (i) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase
         a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for
         which the Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
         Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(i), the Master
         Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to
         Section 4.03. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting
         Mortgage

                                       93
<PAGE>

         Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of
         the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer shall purchase such delinquent
         Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
         Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
         3.16(a)(i) shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer
         for deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
         Price. The Trustee shall effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent
         Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary, as
         requested, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver all documentation to
         the NIMS Insurer.

                  (i) During the first full calendar month (but excluding the
         last Business Day thereof) following a Mortgage Loan or related REO
         Property becoming 90 days or more delinquent, the Master Servicer shall
         have the option, but not the obligation to purchase from the Trust Fund
         any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is then still 90
         days or more delinquent, which the Master Servicer determines in good
         faith shall otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings
         (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
         Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
         Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased
         hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the
         Trustee, upon written certification of such deposit, shall release or
         cause to be released to the Master 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 Master Servicer
         shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer
         title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant
         hereto.

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

                  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 Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the
form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided
that it does not differ from the substantive content 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 3.04(b) have been or
shall 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

                                       94
<PAGE>

Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no
event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to
the Master 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 and any related
Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee
or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it
does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of
the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such
Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian
when the need therefor by the Master 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 Master Servicer has delivered to
the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to 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, upon request, a copy of the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the
Master Servicer.

                  (c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee shall 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.

                  (d) The Trustee and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on
policies and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the
submission of any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File
electronically with a digital signature or other identifier to designate the
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting such collateral.

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account
to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Master Servicer only to the extent such amounts, fees or charges are
received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account,
pursuant to Section 3.04(h) to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to
Section 3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing
compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to
Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums
for the insurance required by Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, 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 in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

                  SECTION 3.19. Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency on or before March 15th of each
calendar year commencing in 2006, an Officers' Certificate in a form similar to
Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the parties hereto, stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has
been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master 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 Trustee to any Certificateholder and to
any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party,
provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2006, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain 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 Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants
requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.

                  SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Master 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 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 Master Servicer designated by it. In addition,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to
any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and to
any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party's acknowledgment in writing
of a confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to
remain confidential under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.

                  SECTION 3.22. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a
facility (an "Advance Facility") with any Person (an "Advancing Person") (1)
under which the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing
person the Master Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for
any Advances and/or Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the 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 Master
Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the
Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section
3.23, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute
a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of
such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance
or any Servicing Advance or is assigned the right to be reimbursed for any
Advance or Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged
by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement
directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice
from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the
Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing
Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle
the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the
Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or
proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall 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
3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06
hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the
terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the
Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the
Trust Fund's entering such facility.

                  (b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an
Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then
the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v) prior to the remittance
to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in
the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the
extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the
Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Advance
Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to
reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section

                                       98
<PAGE>

3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be, had
the Master 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 Advance Facility agree to in writing
delivered to the Trustee. An Advance Facility may provide that the Master
Servicer will otherwise cause the remittance of Advance and/or Servicing Advance
reimbursement amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the foregoing
sentences in this Section 3.23(b) shall not apply.

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

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

                  (e) None of the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any
other Person shall have any right or claim (including without limitation any
right of offset or recoupment) to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to
the reimbursement of Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned,
conveyed or pledged to an Advancing Person, or that relate to Advances or
Servicing Advances that were funded by an Advancing Person.

                  (f) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 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 3.23,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent
of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of
Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a
portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the
Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.

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

         Regular Interest I-LTM10 in the same proportion as the
         Overcollateralization Increase Amount is allocated to the Corresponding
         Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC I
         Regular Interest I-LTZZ shall be increased by such amount;

                  (ii) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1SUB,
         REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1GRP, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2SUB,
         REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2GRP, Regular Interest I-LT3SUB, REMIC I
         Regular Interest I-LT3GRP and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTXX, on a pro

         such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof
         remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates;

                  (iii) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in an
         amount equal to the remainder of the REMIC I Marker Allocation
         Percentage of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the
         distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:

                           (a) 98.00% of such remainder (other than amounts
                  payable under clause (c) below) to the Holders of REMIC I
                  Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTP,
                  until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular
                  Interest is reduced to zero, provided, however, that REMIC I
                  Regular Interest I-LTP shall not be reduced until the

                  Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and

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

provided, however, that (i) 98.00% and (ii) 2.00% of any principal payments that
are attributable to an Overcollateralization Reduction Amount shall be allocated

         aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
         Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the
         Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such
         excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period,
         the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I
         Regular Interests such that

                  (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

                                      109

procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall
have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement
or applicable law.

                  (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. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor
the Master 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 shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than five (5) days after the related Determination Date, 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 shall be made on such
         Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
         Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified or its
         agent; and

                  (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
         after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

                  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 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 remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Representative all remaining 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).

                  (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 both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate
in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and (ii) in no event shall the
Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than once in
respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

                  (g) It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the
Class CE Certificates receive all principal and interest received by the Trust
on the Mortgage Loans that is not otherwise distributable to any other Class of
Regular Certificates or REMIC Regular Interests. If the Trustee determines that
the Residual Certificates are entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior
to any such distribution to any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor
of such impending distribution. Upon such notification, the Depositor will
request an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such
mistake in the distribution provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by
their acceptance of their Certificates, and the Servicer(s) hereby agree and no
further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a
statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii)

                  (a) On the Master Servicer Reporting Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy (or by such other
means as the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer may agree from
time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.
Such Remittance Report shall include (i) the amount of Advances to be made by
the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate
amount of Advances outstanding after giving effect to such Advances, and the
aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of such Distribution Date
and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the

Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The Trustee shall not be
responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it
by the Master Servicer.

                  Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor
a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the

Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to
the aggregate of the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of 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 Master Servicer to
the Trustee.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master 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 such REO Property an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property

                                      115

transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.

                  On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date 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 shall 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
Master Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an
Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master
Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances
previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's
records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee shall
provide notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by the
close of business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the
amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than
the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.

                  (c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such
Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but
subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or
the removal thereof from REMIC I 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
Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination
by the Master 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 an Officers' Certificate
of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

                  (e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating
Interest") equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely

                                      116
<PAGE>

from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the
amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar
month. The Master Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any
amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and
distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall
not be obligated to pay any amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a) On or before each Determination Date, the Master 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. On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) 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 Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the
Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the
end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) 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, in
reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE
Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal
on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) of
Section 4.01 hereof; second, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise
distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess
Cashflow available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of
Section 4.01(a)(4) hereof; and third, in reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all
distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any
Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds
the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day
of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the
related Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess shall be allocated: first,
to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-6
Certificates, until the Certificate

                                      117
<PAGE>

Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-5
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth,
to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero and tenth, 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.

                  Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on
any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the
amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(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 shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  (c) (i) The REMIC I Marker Allocation Percentage of 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 I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate
amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTM10 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh,

                                      118
<PAGE>

to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero, and twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.

                  (ii) The REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
I Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation
"SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I
Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTXX.

                  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 withheld to such
Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.06. Commission Reporting.

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

                  (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a
Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent
they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare
or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own
negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-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 J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K). The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by
no later than March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section

                                      120
<PAGE>

4.06 or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee 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 or the Trustee, as applicable, then the other party, in
connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 4.06
or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith, 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
of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.

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

                  (e) Prior to January 30th 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.

                  (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 hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate
to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01)
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.

                    SECTION 4.07.     [Reserved].

                    SECTION 4.08.     [Reserved].

                    SECTION 4.09.     [Reserved].

                    SECTION 4.10.     [Reserved].

                    SECTION 4.11.     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 Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-R1." The Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account any payments received by it (i) under the Cap
Contracts for the benefit of the Holders of the Adjustable-Rate Certificates and
(ii) pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(iv).

                                      121
<PAGE>

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

                  (f) For federal income tax return and information reporting,
the value assigned to the right of the Holders of the Group I Certificates, the
Group II Certificates, the Group III 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 $46,000, $33,000, $63,000 and
$152,000, respectively.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1A through A-R. The Certificates of each Class shall be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be
authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested 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 Certificate Registrar 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

\

                                      124
<PAGE>

has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian
may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian
shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository), to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the
Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms
hereof, 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 Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master 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 issue the Definitive
Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the case of the Class M-9 Certificates and
the Class M-10 Certificates), 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 Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed
upon or to be performed by the

                                      125
<PAGE>

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 appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 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. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar
for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other
bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as
the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall
at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class M-9 Certificate, Class M-10
Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
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 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 a Class M-9 Certificate,
Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in
connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
each 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 Depositor, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the Trust Fund), 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, the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class M-9 Certificates, Class M-10 Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the
Class P Certificates or the Residual 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. If a transfer of an Ownership Interest in

                                      126
<PAGE>

the Class M-9 Certificates or the Class M-10 Certificates is to be made without
registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (which in the
case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented
such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is
being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer of a Class M-9 Certificate, Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and
the Master 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) shall 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 Class CE 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 G, unless the Trustee is provided with
an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely,
which shall be to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates
is permissible under applicable law, shall not constitute or result in any
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
shall not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the
Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification shall be
required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by
the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case such transferee shall be deemed to
have represented that it is not purchasing with 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 the Mezzanine Certificates or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that Certificate or

                                      127
<PAGE>

interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or acting, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of a Plan or with Plan Assets, (ii) for Mezzanine
Certificates other than the Class M-9 Certificates and the Class M-10
Certificates it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificates (other
than the Class M-9 Certificates and the Class M-10 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 Certificates (other than the Class M-9 Certificates and the Class M-10
Certificates) must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or
its equivalent) by Moody's, Fitch or S&P or (iii) (1) it is an insurance
company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or
interest therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is
defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 have been satisfied.

                  If any Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate, Residual
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Certificate
Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar, 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 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 shall endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and

                                      128
<PAGE>

         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 Certificate Registrar 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 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
         Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar shall 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 Certificate Registrar as a condition to
         such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate
         shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 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 Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the
         Holder or any prior Holder

                                      129
<PAGE>

         of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a
         purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the
         Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall
         promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance
         with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may
         be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate
         Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
         include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its
         Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the
         Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar, and the
         Certificate Registrar 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
         shall 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 shall not cause any Trust REMIC to cease
         to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case
         may be, 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 (y) 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.

                  The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the
items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.

                  (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 pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate

                                      130
<PAGE>

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 and cause the Certificate
Registrar to 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 and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R Certificate for three
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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with
its customary procedures.

                  (i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless
the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee
of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated
copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August
of each year, commencing in March 2005.

                  (j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in
violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void ab initio
and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the
prior permitted Holder.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer 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 actual knowledge by the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser or the Trustee shall execute 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

                                      131
<PAGE>

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 Certificate Registrar)
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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Registrar 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 of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the NIMS Insurer 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 Class M-9
Certificate, Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual 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 the Class M-9 Certificates, the Class M-10 Certificates, the Class CE
Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the Residual 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 and/or
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, Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a Class M-9
Certificate, a Class M-10 Certificate, a Class CE Certificate, a Class P
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document relating to such Certificate, if any, 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 Master Servicer since the Closing
Date to evidence the Master 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 Master Servicer since the Closing
Date pursuant to Section

                                      132
<PAGE>

4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items shall be
available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the person requesting
the same.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                      THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER

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

                  The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.

                  SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
                                Master Servicer.

                  Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall 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 Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each shall 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 Master 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 Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master 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 Master 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 shall 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
                                Master Servicer and Others.

                  None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining

                                      133
<PAGE>

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 NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any
breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any
specific liability imposed on the Master 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 NIMS Insurer,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, or the
Master 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, in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, 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. None of the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer or the Master 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 and, in its opinion, does not involve it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master 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, unless the Depositor or the Master
Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case
of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights
or defend themselves hereunder), 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, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, 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 Master
                                Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the
written consent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from
each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating
Agency to

                                      134
<PAGE>

reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of 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 NIMS Insurer. No resignation of
the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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.

                  Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall
not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.

                  SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
                                Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such
Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee its
(and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other
information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant
to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer's (or any such
Sub-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, rating
agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in
either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
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 Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but
is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master 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
Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
                                Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

                  (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and
the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which 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, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan
originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit
accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) 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 6.11
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement
and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master 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. 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 6.11, provisions
relating to insurance in Section 3.10 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 Master Servicer, are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and
of the Seller 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 2.03(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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it the owner of the

                                      136
<PAGE>

related Mortgage Loans. The Master 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. Enforcement of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Master
Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer,
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 Master Servicer without any
act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the
Master 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 6.06.

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

                  SECTION 6.08. Liability of the Master Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master 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 Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.

                  SECTION 6.09. No Contractual Relationship Between
                                Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer,
                                the Trustee 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
Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer,

                                      137
<PAGE>

the Trustee and 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 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be
solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is
sufficient to pay such fees.

                  SECTION 6.10. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause
its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have
entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. 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 6.07, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master 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 Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.

                  The Master 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.

                  SECTION 6.11. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the 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 deposit of such funds
into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such
proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer
for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the
deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account.

                                      138
<PAGE>

For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                                     DEFAULT

                  SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.

                  "Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events:

                  (i) any failure by the Master 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 Master 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 Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in
         which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master
         Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the
         Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
         or

                  (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
         observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
         agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
         Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the
         Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to
         which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant
         to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement)
         which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of
         (i) 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 NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
         entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge
         of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; 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, marshaling 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 if such proceeding is being contested by the Master
         Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in
         force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in
         the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or
         appointment; or

                  (iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshaling of assets and

                                      139
<PAGE>

         liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master
         Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;
         or

                  (v) 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; or

                  (vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer
         Termination Test; or

                  (vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance
         on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own
         funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00
         p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date.

                  If a Master 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 Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, at the written direction of
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, or at the
direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor, 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. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause
(vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with
Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance(which Advance shall be part of
Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section
7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. 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, 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, at its sole cost and expense, 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, 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
Master Servicer to the Collection

                                      140
<PAGE>

Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or
any REO Account or Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property
serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of Advances 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 Master 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 is received by the Trustee of any such event and such notice
references the Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.

                  The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master
Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any 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 Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.

                  SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master 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 Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, 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

                                      141
<PAGE>

if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or
the NIMS Insurer 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 (with confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by
the successor of all of the Master 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 Master 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 Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided.

                  Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a
successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of
a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing
and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting
the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof) (including that such mortgage loan servicing institution shall be
acceptable to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer). Such public announcement
shall specify that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the
servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master
Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the
Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith
and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
satisfactory bid as to the price they shall pay to obtain such servicing. The
Trustee upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the
Master Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the
Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of
any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum
shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.

                  (b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the
terms of the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section
7.02(b), a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a
proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance
is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall
upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice
of termination under

                                      142
<PAGE>

Section 7.01, advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in
the Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be
obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith
judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable
from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such
advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to
the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may
recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount
from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to affect the Trustee's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own
funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time
makes an advance under this Subsection which it later determines in its good
faith judgment shall not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with
respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the
Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the
portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.

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

                  SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer

                                      143
<PAGE>

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
the NIMS Insurer and to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such
occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have
been cured or waived.

                  SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

                  The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
(with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates
affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive
such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a
default or Master 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 (with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master 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
Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master 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 Master 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 respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.

                  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:

                                      144
<PAGE>

                  (i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
         Default, and after the curing of all such Master 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 NIMS Insurer or 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.

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

                  SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties;

                  (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;

                                      145

<PAGE>

                  (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 or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of
         this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
         applicable, 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 Master 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 Master Servicer Event of
         Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master 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 NIMS Insurer or 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 reasonable indemnity against such expense, or
         liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer 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 or attorneys; and

                  (vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
         resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account,
         the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the
         Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.

                  (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.

                  (c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date
and thereafter on behalf of the

                                      146
<PAGE>

Holders of the Group I Certificates, the Group II Certificates, the Group III
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates. The Seller, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Holders of the Group I Certificates, the Group II
Certificates, the Group III 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 Contracts and shall
do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its
individual capacity.

                  SECTION 8.03. The 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. 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 Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than, subject to Section 8.01,
any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04.

                  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 and, to the extent
that the funds therein are at any time insufficient for such purpose, the
Depositor shall pay such fees. The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by REMIC I and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the 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 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 (up to a limit of $600,000 per calendar year so long as any notes
issued pursuant to the Indenture are insured by a NIMS Insurer), other than any
loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer's
obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans (for which
the Master Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) that
constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or
(iii) any loss,

                                      147
<PAGE>

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 obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of
its obligations under Article X hereof. 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 Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee 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.
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
Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer's own funds,
without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall pay any annual rating agency
fees of the Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without
right of reimbursement.

                  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 Master 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
conditions 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 NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master 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, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor trustee.

                                      148
<PAGE>

                  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 the NIMS Insurer, 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 respective property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer by the Depositor.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 Master 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, the NIMS Insurer 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 each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

                                      149
<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
Master 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 and the NIMS Insurer 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 Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer 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 Master 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 the Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.

                  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 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 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.

                                      150
<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 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, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

                  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. Appointment of Custodians.

                  The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement.
The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer
to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Trustee shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance
with each Custodial Agreement (provided that if expenses of the kind that would
be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 if incurred by the
Trustee are incurred by the Custodian, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement under Section 8.05 for such kind of expenses to the extent the
Trustee has paid such expenses on behalf of the Custodian or for which the
Trustee has reimbursed the Custodian). The Trustee initially appoints the
Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer consent to
such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply
with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and
provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such
Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined
capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall
the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee shall 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

                                      151
<PAGE>

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, New York 10041 for
such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master
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,
         shall not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an
         event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
         default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or
         other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
         any of its assets.

                  (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 creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
         of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
         proceeding in equity or at law.

                  (v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
         of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
         or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
         of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
         which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
         to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                  (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge,
         threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this
         Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
         materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   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 Master Servicer and
the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or 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 earlier of (a) the "latest possible maturity
date" and (b) 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. The purchase by the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to greater of (A) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of
the Stated 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 fair market value of the REO
Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the calendar month preceding
the month of the final Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances(in the case of fair market values required to be determined
under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the Terminator, the Trustee and, if the
Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Certificateholders pursuant to the third
paragraph of this Section 9.01); 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 note balance of, each class of notes
issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the
time the option is exercised.

                  (b) The Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), 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 shall 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 (A) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at

                                      153
<PAGE>

the time of such election is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (B) if the Terminator
is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of the Seller, the Master Servicer
shall have delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a written certification
that the burdens of servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in
REMIC I exceed the benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the
Master Servicer if it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust
Fund. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual
Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to pledge 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 REMIC I Regular Interests
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
15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the 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 shall
terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Certificates shall 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 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
Certificates at the office of the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to
the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. 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 preceding the
final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon certification to the
Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee
shall promptly release or cause to be released 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.

                  (d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired 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 9.01 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

                                      154
<PAGE>

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
remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the
Representative all remaining 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 9.01.

                  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 Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund 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
         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 applicable Terminator (or in the
event of termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee),
the Trustee 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 shall 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, (i) the
REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC
I and (ii) the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest
in REMIC I. The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates (exclusive
of any amounts received from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account), the
Class CE Certificates and the Class P 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 pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund caused by the Trustee (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), other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel except as specified herein. 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 related REMIC 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 in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to
enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.

                                      156
<PAGE>

                  (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 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 shall
serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall
provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the
assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as
is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable each of
them to perform their respective obligations under this subsection. In addition,
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
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 (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, 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 any 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 and the NIMS Insurer have
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
(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 shall not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer 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. 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 Master
Servicer shall consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer shall not take
any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event could occur. The Trustee or the NIMS Insurer 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

                                      157
<PAGE>

times as may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee shall ensure that substantially all of the assets of any Trust REMIC
shall 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.

                  (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any 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 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 Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

                  (h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than the
Trustee, 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. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification
Number for the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or
such other form as is appropriate.

                  (j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not 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 shall not cause the related REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject such 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 Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than the Mortgage Pool which are deemed to constitute "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 Master 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

                                      158
<PAGE>

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), or acquire any
assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a
defaulted Mortgage Loan), or sell or dispose of any investments in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, or 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 and the NIMS
Insurer (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
shall not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b)

Insurer, the Depositor and the Master 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 Master Servicer, caused solely
by the Trustee's failure to act in accordance with its standard of care set
forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the
Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

                  (b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs
including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, if
applicable, the Custodian with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and 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), or in any Custodial
Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which shall
not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial
Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by either (i) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee to such
effect or (ii) confirmation

                                      159
<PAGE>

from the Rating Agencies that such amendment shall not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates. No
amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment
on any such consenting Certificateholder.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and 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 any Custodial 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 evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action shall 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
Master 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,
neither the Trustee nor the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment shall 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.

                  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter
into any amendment of this Agreement that would significantly change the
permitted activities of the Trust Fund without the consent of the NIMS Insurer
and the Holders of Certificates that represent more than 50% of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates.

                  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

                                      160
<PAGE>

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 respective rights, duties
and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 11.02. 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 Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but
only upon direction of the Trustee 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
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i)
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written

                                      161
<PAGE>

request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in the
name of the 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
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.

                  SECTION 11.04. Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be 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 excluding the choice
of laws provisions therein.

                  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 by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor or 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
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
or 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 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 Seller
and the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller's
and 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
on behalf of the Certificateholders 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
and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage

                                      164
<PAGE>

Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the
Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee.

                  SECTION 11.10. Third Party Rights.

                  The NIMS Insurer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of
this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have
the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination Date.

the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the 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 the Holders of Class A-3C Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person 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 the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.

                  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 "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master 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 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 evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

                  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, 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.

Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination Date.

the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been

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

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the

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

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

transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only

limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

                  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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, 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 "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master 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 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 evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

                  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, 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 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 and the Certificate Registrar 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,

                                    A-CE-11
<PAGE>

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 Master 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, the Certificate
Registrar 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 required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master 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.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.

                  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 "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master 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 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 evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

                  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, 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 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 and the Certificate Registrar 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 Master 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, the Certificate
Registrar 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 required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master 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.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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

                                     A-P-4
<PAGE>

provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right cannot be exercised until
the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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.

                  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.

                  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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

Inc. as Depositor, Ameriquest Mortgage Company, as master servicer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company as trustee, we hereby acknowledge 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 or
such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the
related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the
Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6),
(9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule"
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.

                  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, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine

                              ---------------------

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. The Purchaser shall deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool constituting the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a
single series of asset-backed pass-through certificates designated as Series
2005-R1 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of twenty-one
classes of certificates. The Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and
the Class R Certificates (collectively, the "Non-Offered Certificates") will be
delivered to the Seller or its designee as partial consideration for the
Mortgage Loans as further described below.

                  The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement relating to the Series 2005-R1 Certificates, dated as of
February 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Purchaser as
depositor (in such capacity, the "Depositor"), the Seller as master servicer (in
such capacity the "Master Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Depositor will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. 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 hereby sells, and
the Purchaser hereby purchases, as of February 23, 2005 (the "Closing Date"),
certain adjustable-rate and fixed-rate conventional, one- to four-family,
residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal
balance as of the close of business on February 1, 2005 (the "Cut-off Date") of
$1,500,000,629.77, after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans
on or before the Cut-off Date (the "Closing Balance"), whether or not received,
including the right to any Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date
from the Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage
Loans. Any payments (including Prepayment Charges) collected on or before the
Cut-off Date, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on
or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date, shall belong to
the Seller. In addition to the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller will cause
the Cap Contracts to be transferred to the Purchaser.

                  SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE AND PREPAYMENT CHARGE
SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage
loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to
the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule")

<PAGE>

describing such Mortgage Loans and setting forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall conform to the
requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall
be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Seller shall also prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing
Date a final schedule (the "Prepayment Charge Schedule") setting forth each
Mortgage Loan containing a Prepayment Charge and conforming to the definition of
Prepayment Charge Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION.

                  (a)      In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, (i) pay to
or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal
to the net sale proceeds of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates and (ii)
deliver to the Seller or its designee the Non-Offered Certificates.

                  (b)      Reserved.

                  SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

                  (a)      POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does hereby
sell to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this
Agreement, all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage
Loans, including the related Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off
Date. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing
Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the
sale and contribution of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note,
the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is
vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the
possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in
the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as
otherwise directed by the Purchaser.

                  (b)      DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS. The Seller will,
on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the
following documents for each Mortgage Loan:

                           (1)      the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in
         blank without recourse or in the 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, or with respect
         to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit; provided,
         however, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original
         Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the
         aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal
         to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;

                                       2
<PAGE>

                           (2)      the original Mortgage with evidence of
         recording thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording
         office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed
         pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                           (3)      an original Assignment assigned in blank,
         without recourse;

                           (4)      the original recorded intervening 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) or the original
         unrecorded intervening Assignments;

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

                           (6)      the original lender's title insurance policy
         or an attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title
         acceptable to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the
         Mortgaged Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders
         which were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy,
         insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien 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.

                  If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(2), 4(b)(3) or
4(b)(4) above has 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 Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
(1) delivery by or on behalf of the Seller promptly upon receipt thereof to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of either the
original or a copy of such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x)
above or the public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the recorded original thereof and (2) if such delivered copy is
certified by the Seller, then in addition thereto, delivery promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In
the event that the original lender's title insurance policy has not yet been
issued, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company. Promptly upon
receipt by the Seller of any such original title insurance policy the Seller
shall deliver such to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of
the Purchaser.

                  The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon mutual agreement between the
Seller and the Trustee, following the later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the
date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Trustee and (iii) the
date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage)
submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or the Trustee, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in (3) and (4)

                                       3
<PAGE>

above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in (3) 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 a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such
defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience
and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, so long as
recordation of an Assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and the
Certificateholders' interests in the related Mortgage Loan under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, the Assignments
shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless 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 further, however, each Assignment shall be submitted for
recording by the Seller (at the direction of the Master Servicer) 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 or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) a
failure of the Master Servicer Termination Test as set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, (iii) the occurrence of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer and with respect to any one assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the
related Mortgage.

                  Each original document relating to any 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 or 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 (7) 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)      Reserved.

                  (e)      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, 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 under this Agreement
shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.

                  (f)      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
File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available
to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination at the Trustee's offices in Santa Ana, California. Such examination

                                       4
<PAGE>

may be made by the Purchaser, and its respective designees, upon reasonable
notice to the Seller and the Trustee during normal business hours before the
Closing Date and within sixty (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.

SELLER.

         thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
         subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
         defense, including the defense of usury and no such valid right of

         involve the violation of any such laws;

                           (11)     Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of
         any Mortgage has modified, impaired or waived the Mortgage in any
         material respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by
         a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect

         effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each
         such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, the transfer
         of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser will not affect the
         validity or enforceability of such policy and each such policy was
         issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
         where the Mortgaged Property is located and in a form acceptable to
         Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which policy insures the Seller and
         successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to
         the first priority lien of the Mortgage; no claims have been made 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;

                           (13)     Each Mortgage Loan was originated by the
         Seller, or an Affiliate of the Seller, in accordance with the
         underwriting standards as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement (or,
         if generated by an entity other than the Seller or an Affiliate of the
         Seller, in accordance with such other underwriting standards as set
         forth in the Prospectus Supplement or, if generated on behalf of the
         Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller by a person other than the Seller,
         is subject to the same underwriting standards and procedures used by
         the Seller in originating mortgage loans directly) or by a savings and
         loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union,
         insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and
         examined by a federal or state authority (including a mortgage broker),
         or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
         Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing
         Act;

         nearest 0.125%, subject to the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage
         Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note is
         payable on the first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly
         installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in
         arrears, and requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully
         amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over
         its remaining term and to pay interest at the applicable Mortgage Rate.
         No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative amortization;

                           (15)     All of the improvements which were included
         for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged
         Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
         lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
         encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except those, if any, which are
         insured against by the lender's title insurance policy referred to in
         (12) above.

         and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or

         therefor have been complied with, except any Mortgaged Property or
         Mortgage Loan subject to an Escrow Withhold as defined in the
         Originator's underwriting guidelines. All costs, fees and expenses
         incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid;

         a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii)
         otherwise by judicial foreclosure. 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;

                           (21)     With respect to each Mortgage constituting 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 such 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;

                           (22)     There exist no deficiencies with respect to
         escrow deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary
         arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow
         deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have
         been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

                           (23)     The origination, collection and servicing
         practices used by the Seller (or its affiliate) with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan have been in all material

         Property are covered by a valid, binding and existing hazard insurance
         policy that is in full force and effect with a generally acceptable
         carrier that provides for fire extended coverage and such other hazards
         as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
         representing coverage not less than the lesser of the outstanding
         principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the minimum amount
         required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis.
         All individual insurance policies and flood policies referred to in
         clause (27) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller
         or the original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as
         mortgagee, and the Seller has received no notice that any premiums due
         and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the
         Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood
         insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
         Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
         obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense
         and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor, except as may be

         not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal
         balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to
         compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the
         maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster

         effect; (b) all rents and other payments due under the lease have been
         paid; (c) the lessee is not in default under any provision of the

         on or after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the
         related Mortgage Note requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to

         Mortgage Loan transaction.

                  (b)      The Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants
to the Purchaser, with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the Closing
Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

                           (1)      Each Group I Mortgage Loan is in compliance
         with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements
         of Fannie Mae's Selling Guide;

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

                           (3)      With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan
         that contains a provision permitting imposition of a charge upon a
         prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's
         origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such charge in exchange for a
         monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction,
         (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor
         was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not
         require payment of such a charge, (iii) the prepayment charge is
         disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable
         state and federal law, (iv) for loans originated on or after September
         1, 2004, the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three
         (3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note unless the loan was
         modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years
         from the date of the Mortgage Note and the borrower was notified in
         writing of such reduction in the prepayment period, and (v)
         notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Master
         Servicer shall not impose such prepayment charge in any instance when
         the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's
         default in making the loan payments;

                           (4)      All points and fees related to each Group I
         Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
         with applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in the
         case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less
         than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination,
         no Mortgagor was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed) in
         an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan and such
         5% limitation is calculated in

                                       13
<PAGE>

         accordance with Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set
         forth in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide;

                           (5)      All fees and charges (including finance
         charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be
         collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each
         Group I Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor
         in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;

                           (6)      No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was
         encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the
         Originator which is a higher cost product designed for a less
         creditworthy Mortgagor, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's
         origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
         history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
         offered by the Originator;

                           (7)      The Master Servicer will transmit full-file
         credit reporting data for each Group I Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie

                  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 loan files or
other documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on
the part of 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 the Certificateholders.

                  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 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 5 or
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 (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46), (47) and (48)
of Section 6(a) herein, 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 assignee, transferee or designee), the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing
documentation which was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or
materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation and
warranty (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46), (47) and (48)
of Section 6(a) herein, 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 assignee, transferee or designee), the Seller
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase
the affected Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price 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

                                       15

Loans. In the event that any Mortgage Loan is subject to a breach of the
representation and warranty in Section 6(a)(37) and (39) resulting in the Master
Servicer's inability to collect all or part of the Prepayment Charge from the
Mortgagor, in lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be obligated to remit to the
Master Servicer (for deposit in the Collection Account) any shortfall in the
Prepayment Charge collected upon the Mortgagor's voluntary Principal Prepayment.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the
breach of the representation of the Seller set forth in Section 6(a)(37) and
(45) above, 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 depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net
of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect
of such Prepayment Charge.

                  The Seller 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 and the addition, if any, of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller 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 deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price 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.

                  In addition, upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser, or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt
written notice within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90)
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall 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.

                  (b)      It is understood and agreed that the obligations of
the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure, remit a Prepayment Charge
shortfall, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the
sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing or
defective material document or a breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

                  SECTION 8. CLOSING; PAYMENT FOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS. The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New
York City office of Thacher Proffitt & Wood LLP at 10:00 AM New York City time

                  The closing shall be subject to each of the following

                     Seller under this Agreement shall be true and correct
                     in all material respects as of the date as of which
                     they are made and no event 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
                     of the Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be

                     acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all
                     signatories other than the Purchaser as required
                     pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

                  (c)The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be
                     delivered and released to the Purchaser or to its
                     designee, all documents (including without

                     delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01
                     of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

                  (d)All other terms and conditions of this Agreement
                     shall have been complied with.

                  Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, against
delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the
Mortgage Loans as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, by delivery to the

                  SECTION 12. RESERVED.

                  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. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
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 redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 13
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 telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if
to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 1100 Town & Country Road, Suite
1100, Orange, California 92868, Facsimile: (714) 564-9639, Attention: General

in writing to the Purchaser.

                  SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, 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 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 and the Purchaser
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. 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.

                  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 (EXCLUDING 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

                                       20
<PAGE>

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. The NIMS Insurer, if
any, shall be a third party beneficiary hereof and may enforce the terms hereof
as if a party hereto.

                  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 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" 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. 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.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused
their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized

in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements

investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.

amended.

                  5.       The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with
Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the
Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within

                                  F-Annex-1-2
<PAGE>

the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third 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 herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof)

                    FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK    )
                     : ss.:
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 Ameriquest
Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2005-R1, Class R (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 ____________________, 2005 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 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, as amended, 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.

                  4.       The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a
"pass-through entity" holding the Class R Certificates 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-

                                     F-2-1
<PAGE>

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 Certificate Registrar
will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee,
or the transferee's agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, 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 R Certificates 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 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

                                     F-2-2
<PAGE>

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 Certificate Registrar 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 or partnership (or other entity treated as a corporation
or partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or
under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia (except, in the case of a partnership or entity treated as a
partnership, to the extent provided in regulations), an estate the income of
which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source or a trust other than a "foreign trust" described in section 7701(a)(31)
of the Code.

                  _______________________________________, being duly sworn,

                  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 (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 Certificate Registrar 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.

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