Gentlemen:

As you are aware, U.S. Bancorp has made every effort to structure its equity
investment in New Century Financial Corporation in such a manner as to ensure
that New Century would not be deemed to be an "affiliate" of U.S. Bancorp for
purposes of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. U.S. Bancorp has determined
that it would be advisable to forfeit all of its rights under the Shareholder
Agreements, each dated November 24, 1998, with Robert K. Cole, Edward F.
Gotschall, Steve Holder and Brad A. Morrice (the "Shareholder Agreements") in
order to clarify that New Century is not such an affiliate. U.S. Bank National
Association has also determined that it would be advisable for this reason to
forfeit all of its rights under the following warrants (collectively, the
"Warrants"): (1) warrant to purchase 650,000 shares of Common Stock of New
Century Financial Corporation dated April 28, 2000; (2) warrant to purchase
37,500 shares of Common Stock of New Century Financial Corporation dated April
28, 2000; (3) warrant to purchase 18,750 shares of Common Stock of New Century
Financial Corporation dated July 18, 2000; (4) warrant to purchase 18,750 shares
of Common Stock of New Century Financial Corporation dated October 30, 2000.

Effective immediately, U.S. Bancorp and U.S. Bank National Association hereby
forfeit all rights under and interests in the Shareholder Agreements and the
Warrants, respectively. Please execute the acceptances below to confirm your
acknowledgement of the foregoing with respect to the Shareholder Agreements and
your acceptance and agreement as to the cancellation of the Warrants by the
parties thereto. U.S. Bancorp will separately send a notice to each party to the
Shareholder Agreements.

It is understood and agreed, however, that Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Warrant
Issuance Agreement dated as of April 28, 2000, among New Century Financial
Corporation, U.S. Bancorp and U.S. Bank National Association, shall survive and
not be affected by this letter.

                     SALE AND CONVEYANCE OF SERVICING RIGHTS

            Section 2.01 Agreement to Sell the Servicing Rights.

            Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby purchases from the Seller and the Seller hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, conveys and sets over to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date, the
Servicing Rights, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to perform the servicing of
each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of each related MBS Servicing
Agreement and the Servicing Standards; provided that, the Purchaser shall not
assume any repurchase obligations pursuant to any MBS Servicing Agreement, or
any indemnification obligations pursuant to any MBS Servicing Agreement for
actions taken by Seller or a prior servicer prior to the Closing Date, and shall
have no liability for any action or event which occurred prior to the Closing
Date.

            The Servicing Rights are with respect to Mortgage Loans serving as
collateral for mortgage-backed securities issued and serviced pursuant to the
terms of a related MBS Servicing Agreement.

            Section 2.02 Purchase Price.

            (a) The purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller for
the Servicing Rights (the "Purchase Price") shall be equal to the amount set
forth in the Pricing Letter. The Purchaser's obligation to pay the Purchase
Price will terminate without further liability of the Purchaser in the event
that the transfer of the Servicing Rights as contemplated in this Agreement is
not consummated for any reason. The Purchase Price has been based upon loan
level data and other information provided by Seller. In the event that there are
any material differences in this information from due diligence findings by the
Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be subject to a mutually agreeable
adjustment by the Purchaser and the Seller.

            (b) The Purchase Price shall be paid by the Purchaser as follows:
ninety percent (90%) of the Purchase Price will be paid on the Closing Date, in
one or more wire transfers of immediately available funds, to such party or
parties as the Seller shall designate, and the remaining ten percent (10%)
constituting the Hold Back Amount shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to
Section 2.02(c). The portion of the Purchase Price to be paid on the Closing
Date shall be based on the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the Cut-off Date.

            (c) Within 15 days following the Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall
deliver to the Seller the servicing documents set forth on Exhibit 4 hereto that
are required to be delivered pursuant to the Transfer Instructions which have
not been delivered to Purchaser or its designee and shall notify Seller of any
errors with respect to the reconciliation statements provided pursuant to the
Transfer Instructions (each such document deficiency or reconciliation statement
error, a "Deficiency"). Within thirty (30) days following the Transfer Date the
Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Hold Back Amount
reduced by the amount required pursuant to the

<PAGE>

                                       -8-

reconciliation performed pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) and further reduced by
$1,000 with respect to each servicing document set forth on Exhibit 4 that was
not delivered to the Purchaser.

            (d) The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that in
connection with the purchase of the Servicing Rights, the Purchaser shall be
entitled to retain all Servicing Fees and Ancillary Income collected on or after
the Cut-off Date; provided that, during the period from the Cut-off Date to the
Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller a monthly interim servicing
fee in an amount equal to $15 per Mortgage Loan; provided further that, the
Seller shall be entitled to retain any investment earnings on any Collection
Account, distribution account or REO account which accrues prior to the Cut-off
Date. If the Interim Period includes any partial month, the Servicing Fee for
such month shall be pro rated at a per diem rate based upon a 30-day month.

            Section 2.03 Reimbursement of Advances.

            On the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Seller
for 90% of the amount of the unreimbursed Advances made by the Seller which were
outstanding as of the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, which were made pursuant to the terms of any MBS Servicing Agreement and
are recoverable under the terms of such MBS Servicing Agreement. The Seller
shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, provide to the
Purchaser evidence of the dollar amount of all Advances as of the Closing Date,
broken down by MBS Servicing Agreement, made by the Seller as servicer which had
not been previously reimbursed. As soon as practical following the Transfer
Date, but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days following the
Transfer Date, the Purchaser and Seller shall reconcile the actual amount of
Advances that were outstanding as of the Closing Date and the recoverability
status of such Advances under the terms of any MBS Servicing Agreement and make
any monetary adjustments to the amount required to be reimbursed to the Seller.
Following such reconciliation, the remaining ten percent (10%) of the
reimbursable Advance amount due the Seller shall be paid to the Seller, as
adjusted to reflect any monetary adjustments required to be made as a result of
such reconciliation. To the extent that such remaining ten percent (10%) is not
sufficient to compensate the Purchaser in connection with such reconciliation,
the Seller shall refund to the Purchaser such price differential within three
(3) Business Days of a request therefor from the Purchaser. The foregoing
true-up is anticipated to be completed within 15 Business Days following the
Transfer Date on which date any payment required hereunder shall be made. The
Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the full amount of any reimbursements for
any Advances that are received following the Cut-off Date and all Ancillary
Income and Servicing Fees received after the Cut-off Date; provided that, the
Seller shall be entitled to retain any investment earnings on any Collection
Account, distribution account or REO account which accrues prior to the Cut-off
Date.

            The Seller represents, warrants and covenants to the Purchaser as to

or licensing for the conduct of banking or business of the type conducted by the
Seller.

            (b) The Seller has full power and authority, corporate and
otherwise, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all its
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Seller and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate,
shareholder or other action, and this Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Seller and is valid and enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity.

            (c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by any Seller of, or compliance by any Seller with, this Agreement,
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such
consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Seller has obtained
such approval. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated (assuming receipt of all necessary
consents) by this Agreement nor compliance with its terms and conditions, shall
conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any
nature upon, any of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Rights or the properties
or assets of the Seller, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of its
charter or by-laws or any similar corporate documents of the Seller or any
mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other agreement
or instrument to which the Seller is now a party or by which it is bound or any

            (d) There is no litigation or action at law or in equity pending,
or, to its knowledge, threatened, against the Seller and no proceeding or

Purchaser's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

                                      -12-

            (e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and the sale and
transfer of the Servicing Rights by the Seller are not subject to the bulk
transfer or similar statutory provisions of applicable state or federal law.

            (f) The Seller is the sole holder and owner of the Servicing Rights
and has the right to sell, assign and transfer the Servicing Rights as of the
Closing Date and to assign, transfer and deliver the Servicing Rights as
contemplated by this Agreement free and clear of any and all claims, charges,
defenses, security interests, liens, offsets and encumbrances.

            (g) The Seller, any current or prior holder of a Mortgage Loan, any
prior servicer of a Mortgage Loan and each party originally named as payee under
the Mortgage Notes and as mortgagee under the Mortgage with respect to the
Mortgage Loan, is and was at all material times, in compliance with any and all
applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located. Except as set forth on Schedule B
hereto, the Seller is not in default in the performance of its obligations under
any MBS Servicing Agreement, and the Seller is, and each prior servicer was, in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the Servicing
Rights, and there has been no occurrence as of the Closing Date that could cause
the cancellation of the Servicing Rights or material changes in procedures with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller has and has at all times had all
licenses, permits, consents, approvals, orders, certificates, authorizations,
declarations and filings (collectively, "Permits") required by all governmental
entities (including, without limitation, any federal, state or local authorities
or agencies regulating debt collectors, consumer lenders, mortgage bankers, or
servicers and their operations and all courts and other tribunals) which are
necessary for the conduct of the servicing business and the origination, sale or
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and has obtained from any originator or prior
holder of such Mortgage Loans a representation to that effect except where the
failure to hold such a Permit would not have a material adverse effect on the
rights of any servicer.

            (h) The Seller or any prior servicer under the MBS Servicing
Agreements have taken all necessary steps to make and keep any hazard insurance
policy, and title insurance policy valid, binding and enforceable; each such
insurance policy is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the private
insurer to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, defense or set-off,
subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and all premiums thereon have been
paid. Such insurance policies may be included in a blanket insurance policy to
the extent permitted under the applicable MBS Servicing Agreement.

            (i) There are no actions, claims, litigation or governmental
investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened, against
the Seller or with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which relate to, or affect the
Mortgage Loans or the Seller's right to sell, assign and transfer, the Servicing
Rights (other than usual and customary actions such as foreclosure proceedings
as to the Mortgage Loans).

            (j) The transfer of the Servicing Rights shall be treated as a sale
on the books and records of the Seller, and the Seller has determined that, and
will treat, the disposition of the Servicing Rights pursuant to this Agreement
for tax and accounting purposes as a sale. The Seller

shall maintain a complete set of books and records for the Servicing Rights
which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of the Servicing Rights
by the Purchaser as of the Closing Date and the entitlement of the Purchaser to
the Servicing Fees and Ancillary Income as provided herein following the Cut-off
Date.

            (k) The consideration received by the Seller upon the sale of the
Servicing Rights constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value
for such Servicing Rights.

            (l) The Seller is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller is not
transferring any Servicing Rights with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of its creditors.

            (m) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the
Data Base, and on any updates thereof or other document, instrument or schedule
furnished to the Purchaser by the Seller or one of its affiliates pursuant to,
or prior to and in connection with, this Agreement is accurate and complete in
all material respects. All Mortgage Loan interest rate information is net of any
and all insurance premiums.

            (n) All Collection Accounts and Escrow Accounts are maintained by
the Seller and have been maintained in accordance with applicable law and the
terms of the Mortgage Loans and the related Servicing Requirements. The Escrow
Payments required by the Mortgages which have been paid to the Seller for the
account of the Borrower are on deposit in the appropriate Escrow Account.

            (o) The Advances are valid and subsisting accounts owing to the
Seller, and are carried on the books of the Seller at values determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not subject to
any set-offs or claims of the account debtor.

            (p) All documentation with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans has been properly and accurately completed and executed, and all documents
required hereby or by Servicing Requirements to be in the Custodial File and
Mortgage File are contained therein and final certifications thereto by the
Custodian have been completed.

            (q) All funds received by the Seller in connection with the Mortgage
Loans, including, without limitation, foreclosure proceeds, fire insurance
proceeds from fire losses, condemnation proceeds and principal reductions, have
promptly been deposited in the Collection Account or Escrow Account, and all
such funds have been applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans in question, or for reimbursement of repairs to the Mortgaged Property or
as otherwise permitted by applicable law and the Servicing Requirements.

            (r) All payments received by the Seller with respect to any Mortgage
Loan have been remitted and properly accounted for pursuant to Servicing
Requirements. No payment of principal or interest on any such Mortgage Loan has
been forgiven, suspended or rescheduled except as disclosed on the Mortgage Loan

adversely affect the value of the Servicing Rights has been made to the

<PAGE>

terms or provisions of such Mortgage Loans except as disclosed on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and Data Base.

            (s) Each Mortgage Loan has been originated in compliance with, or is
exempt from, all applicable state or federal laws, regulations, and Servicing
Requirements, including, without limitation, those pertaining to usury and at
origination all Mortgage Loans documents were in compliance with applicable law
and Servicing Requirements.

            (t) The Seller and any current or prior mortgagee or servicer of the
Mortgage Loans have complied in all respects with every applicable federal,
state, or local law, statute, and ordinance, and any rule, regulation, or order
issued thereunder including, without limitation, the Servicing Requirements, the
fair housing, anti-redlining, equal credit opportunity, truth-in-lending, real
estate settlement procedures, fair credit reporting, and every other prohibition
against unlawful discrimination in residential lending or governing consumer
credit, and also including, without limitation, the Consumer Credit Reporting
Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1975 and Regulation B, Fair Credit
Reporting Act, Truth-in-Lending Law, in particular, Regulation Z as amended, the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
of 1974 as amended, and state and local consumer credit codes and laws. The
collection and all other practices of the Seller in connection with the
origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation,
the timing and manner of liquidation, are and have been reasonable, prudent and
customary and in conformity with accepted servicing practices of prudent lending
institutions and in compliance with all applicable laws. There has been no
improper act or omission or to Seller's knowledge alleged improper act or
omission, or material error by the Seller or any prior servicer or any
employees, agent or representative of any of the foregoing, with respect to the
servicing or any of the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan documents being
delivered to the Purchaser are adequate and sufficient to properly service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the standards set forth in the MBS Servicing
Agreements.

            (u) Subject to obtaining the approvals referred to in Section 4.02,
the sale, transfer and assignment of the Servicing Rights by the Seller and the
instruments required to be executed by the Seller and delivered in connection
therewith pursuant to this Agreement, Servicing Requirements, or other
contractual provisions, are, or will be as of the Closing Date and Transfer
Date, executed, delivered, valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and the availability of equitable
remedies and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good title to the Servicing
Rights, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, or encumbrances. Except as
set forth on Schedule C hereto, the Seller has not previously assigned,
transferred or encumbered the Servicing Rights, and any such assignment,
transfer or encumbrance identified on Schedule C hereto shall have been
satisfied as of the Closing Date. There exist no sub-servicing agreements with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. As of the Closing Date, there are no contracts
affecting the Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Rights to which Purchaser is or
will be bound, or caused to exist by the Purchaser nor shall the Seller enter
into any such contracts following the Closing Date without the consent of the
Purchaser, and no other party has any interest in the Servicing Rights or in the
Mortgage Loans except the applicable Investor, the Trustee, the Bond Insurer,
the holder of the Investor securities as such, or otherwise as contemplated
hereby. None of the MBS Servicing Agreements contain any uncustomary, unusual or
burdensome servicing obligations with respect to

<PAGE>

                                      -15-

the Servicing Rights or contain provisions which vary from published Investor
standards, and no waivers with respect to any published or unpublished Servicing
Requirements have been obtained which adversely affect the credit quality of any
Mortgage Loan. None of the Mortgage Loans are loans subject to interest rate
subsidies or special escrow arrangements, or loans secured by manufactured
housing that is not considered to be real estate under applicable state law or
mobile homes.

            (v) Except as noted in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, all payments
required to be made up to and including the Closing Date for each Mortgage Loan
under the terms of such Mortgage Loan have been made. With regard to each
Mortgage Loan, all accounts for items which are required to be escrowed pursuant
to the terms of such Mortgage Loan, without limitation, all taxes and hazard
insurance premiums, are current and all amounts which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in accordance with
the terms of such Mortgage Loan in amounts which the Seller believes to be
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable or will be required to be paid to
continue operating the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms
of the related Mortgage; and to the Seller's best knowledge there are no other
governmental assessments, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments
or ground rents of any kind which are required to be escrowed, and any such
items are current and all amounts which previously became due and owing have
been paid. All taxes, leasehold payments, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer, municipal charges and common charges of condominiums or
planned unit developments relating to the Mortgage Loans have been paid by
Seller to the extent of Escrow Payments made by the applicable Borrower with
respect thereto or Advances as required by Servicing Requirements.

            (w) All Mortgaged Properties are currently insured pursuant to
insurance policies in conformity with Servicing Requirements.

            (x) None of the Servicing Rights are subject to recourse against the
servicer for losses on liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, or otherwise or any third
party expenses such as attorney's fees and restoration expenses, or to
repurchase obligations upon the occurrence of non-payment or other events.

            (y) There are not any fees or commissions or any expenses of any
broker, finder or investment banker or anyone else acting in the capacity of a
broker, finder or investment banker for the Seller in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby which are required to be paid by the Purchaser.

            (z) The Seller does not know of any fact (other than facts of a
general economic or political nature) which now or in the future is reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Seller or the Servicing Rights
which has not been disclosed to the Purchaser herein.

            (aa) Each MBS Servicing Agreement delivered to Purchaser on or
before the Closing Date represents a true, correct, and complete copy of the
original as it may have been amended. Each of the MBS Servicing Agreements is in
full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or altered, except to
the extent that the Purchaser has been notified in writing

<PAGE>

                                      -16-

prior to the Closing Date. Seller is not a party to or subject to any agreement,
stipulation, conditional approval, memorandum of understanding, notice of
determination, consent decree, advisory settlement, compromise, litigation, or
other agreement or understanding with any Investor, court or other governmental
agency or body which seeks to modify, interpret or clarify or has the effect of
modifying, interpreting, or clarifying any of the terms of the MBS Servicing
Agreements or otherwise affects Seller's servicing obligations and practices
(including, without limitation, Seller's escrow practices).

            (bb) The Seller has performed and shall perform all obligations to
be performed under the related Servicing Requirements, no Event of Default with
respect to the Seller has occurred under the related MBS Servicing Agreement,
and no event has occurred and is continuing which, but for the passage of time
or the giving of notice or both, would constitute with respect to the Seller an
Event of Default under the related MBS Servicing Agreement. Except as set forth
on Schedule B hereto, there has been no occurrence of any event with respect to
the Seller that could obligate the Seller, as servicer, to repurchase any
Mortgage Loans or cause the termination of the Servicing Rights. The Seller and
any predecessor servicer has serviced the Mortgage Loans and has kept and
maintained complete and accurate books and records in connection therewith, all
in accordance with the related Servicing Requirements, the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and applicable law, and the Seller has made all remittances
required to be made by it under the related MBS Servicing Agreement.

            (cc) The dollar amount of Advances with respect to the Mortgage
Loans to be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
will be true and correct as of the date given. Nothing has come to the attention
of Seller that would lead the Seller to believe that any Advance is not
recoverable pursuant to the related MBS Servicing Agreement.

            (dd) This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, and any statement, report
or other document which has been or will be furnished to the Purchaser by the
Seller, its accountants, officers, employees, auditors, or its attorneys engaged
by it for this transaction, pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, does not contain any untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statement
contained herein or therein not misleading.

            Section 3.02 Certain Provisions Relating to the Seller's
Representations and Warranties.

            The Seller agrees that the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.01 shall survive the sale of the Servicing Rights to the Purchaser,

the delivery of each Mortgage File to the Purchaser and shall inure to the
benefit of the Purchaser and its successors and any subsequent holder of the

assigns for, all material losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, deficiencies, claims, judgments or other costs or expenses
(including attorney's fees and related costs) actually incurred by the Purchaser
to the extent that such loss, damage, deficiency, claim or expense results from:

            (a) Any non-compliance with Servicing Requirements (other than by
      Purchaser between the Closing Date and the Transfer Date) of or defect in
      any Mortgage Loan or security backed thereby, existing on the Closing Date
      or the Transfer Date, whether or not such defects are subsequently
      discovered; provided that, with respect to any prospectus or offering
      circular relating thereto, such liability shall be limited to any defect
      in any information provided by the Seller;

            (b) Acts or omissions of the Seller or other originator or seller or
      prior servicers with respect to the Servicing Rights or in servicing any
      of the Mortgage Loans occurring prior to the Transfer Date, or otherwise
      in breach of the Seller's obligations under this Agreement, or investor
      rules, regulations, guides or applicable laws, including, without
      limitation, incomplete or erroneous loan or servicing documentation, fraud
      by the Seller or prior servicer in the origination of the Mortgage Loan,
      improper escrow disbursements, misapplied payments or claims not covered
      by insurance;

            (c) A material breach of the Seller's representations and warranties
      contained in Section 3.01 of this Agreement;

            (d) Any recourse obligation owed by the Seller to any Investor with
      respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans existing as of the Closing
      Date, including without limitation REO or foreclosure expenses and third
      party expenses, including attorney's fees and restoration expenses; or

            (e) Any material reduction or diminution of the value of the
      Servicing Rights related to the Seller's failure to maintain the Servicing
      Platform described in Section 6.10 and for the costs and expenses related
      to such reduction or diminution.

            Section 5.02 Purchaser's Obligations.

            In the event that the Purchaser breaches any of its representations,
warranties or covenants hereunder or the Servicing Standards and such breach
results in any loss, damage, deficiency, claim or expense of the Seller, then
the Seller shall have the right (subject to any required

                                      -25-

consents) to purchase the Servicing Rights with respect to all of the Mortgage
Loans underlying all of the MBS Servicing Agreements at a purchase price equal
to the product of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the date the Servicing Rights are repurchased, times (ii) the lesser of (A) the
purchase price percentage specified in the Pricing Letter or (B) such percentage
as is mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser. In addition, the
Seller shall, upon such repurchase, reimburse the Purchaser for the amount of
any outstanding unreimbursed Advances on the Mortgage Loans.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                     ADMINISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF SERVICING

            Section 6.01 Interim Servicing.

            (a) The Seller and the Purchaser mutually acknowledge that it is
impracticable for the Purchaser immediately to perform the Servicing
Requirements as of the Cut-off Date and that a period of time from the Cut-off
Date to the Transfer Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (as to any
Servicing Rights and Servicing Requirements, the "Interim Period") may be
required for the Purchaser directly to assume and perform the physical tasks of
such servicing. During the Interim Period, the Seller agrees to interim service
all Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section and in accordance with the
provisions of the related MBS Servicing Agreements as the interim servicer for
the benefit of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Seller shall make all remittances and comply with all reporting
requirements set forth in the related MBS Servicing Agreements during the
Interim Period; provided, however, that commencing with the first remittance to
be made to the related Trustee on or after the Cut-off Date, the Purchaser shall
fund all Advances and payments of Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts (as
defined in the related MBS Servicing Agreement) required to be made as set forth
in and subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01 and the related financing
facility for such Advances between the Purchaser and the Seller (subject to the
limitation that the Purchaser shall not fund Advances in March, 2001 in an
amount exceeding $12,000,000). During the period from the Closing Date to the
Transfer Date, the Seller shall interim service the Mortgage Loans for the
benefit of the Purchaser on behalf of and as agent and fiduciary of the
Purchaser. The Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records for the
Servicing Rights which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of such
Servicing Rights by Purchaser as of the Closing Date and the entitlement of the
Purchaser to the Servicing Fees and Ancillary Income as provided herein
following the Cut-off Date. The Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller an interim
servicing fee equal to $15 per loan per Due Period (as defined in the MBS
Servicing Agreements) during the Interim Period (in each case, pro-rated for any
partial Due Period). The Seller and the Purchaser mutually agree that no later
than five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar month during the
Interim Period the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser all Servicing Fees and
Ancillary Income received during the prior Due Period as the Seller would have
been entitled to prior to the Cut-off Date; provided that, the Seller shall be
entitled to retain any investment earnings on any Collection Account,
distribution account or REO account which accrues prior to the Cut-off Date
whether paid prior to or after the Cut-off Date. In lieu of both the Seller and
the Purchaser making a payment pursuant to this Section 6.01, the amounts
required to be paid hereunder may be netted against one another, with only the
net amount being made by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be;
provided that, the Purchaser shall not net from any Advances required to be made
pursuant to this Section 6.01, the amount of any Servicing Fees due the
Purchaser hereunder.

            The Seller and the Purchaser shall notify each Bond Insurer and
Trustee thirty (30) days prior to the Transfer Date of the Transfer Date.

            (b) During the Interim Period, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser
at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which monthly remittances
are to be made to the related

<PAGE>

                                      -27-

Trustee of the net amount of Advances required to be remitted under the related
MBS Servicing Agreements and any amounts required to be paid in respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts (the "Net Advance Amount"), with
reasonable and appropriate back-up information or data to support the
determination of such Net Advance Amount, together with information reflecting
amounts to be reimbursed to the Purchaser for prior Advances and other amounts
that may be applied to the Net Advance Amount with respect to any Remittance
Date pursuant to the MBS Servicing Agreements. On or prior to the related
Remittance Date, the Purchaser shall remit directly to the related Trustees the
related Net Advance Amount; provided that, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall
Amounts that are paid by the Purchaser shall not exceed in any month the amount
of the Servicing Fees received by the Purchaser in such month. The Seller shall
permit the Purchaser to review the Seller's servicing records to confirm the
calculations of the Net Advance Amounts described in this Section 6.01(b).

            (c) The Seller shall irrevocably direct the related Trustees in
writing, and cause such Trustees to remit directly to the Purchaser and not the
Seller amounts received by such Trustees that represent amounts that are
available to reimburse Advances that were funded by the Purchaser. To the extent
that reimbursement amounts as of the end of the preceding calendar month
relating to Advances funded by the Purchaser are received by the Seller and are
not required to be remitted to the related Trustee pursuant to the MBS Servicing
Agreements, the Seller shall, on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day
of each calendar month, reimburse the Purchaser for such amounts, together with
reasonable and appropriate back-up information or data to support the
determination of such reimbursement amount.

            (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
except as provided in Section 6.01 of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be
required to make or fund any Advances or make any payments in respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts pursuant to this Agreement or any MBS
Servicing Agreement unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 4.01
have been satisfied.

            (e) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Seller
shall have no rights whatsoever in respect of any and all reimbursements in
respect of Advances made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any MBS
Servicing Agreement. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of
the parties hereto, any rights to reimbursement in respect of Advances made by
the Purchaser hereunder are determined to belong, in whole or in part, to the
Seller, then the Seller hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and otherwise
conveys to the Purchaser all of its right, title, and interest, in, to and under
such rights to reimbursement in respect to Advances made by the Purchaser,
whether now existing or hereafter created or arising from time to time with
respect thereto until the termination of this Agreement and each MBS Servicing
Agreement, and all monies due and or to become due and all amounts received with
respect thereto and all proceeds (including, without limitation, "proceeds" as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) thereof.

            Section 6.02 Notice Letters of Transfer.

            Prior to the Transfer Date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties,
the Seller shall, at the Seller's expense, notify each Borrower of the transfer
of the Servicing Rights and instruct the Borrower to remit all Monthly Payments
and all tax and insurance notices to the Purchaser after the

<PAGE>

                                      -28-

Transfer Date. Such letters shall be mailed on such date and be in such form as
is reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller shall
exchange copies of the "hello-goodbye" letters with the Purchaser prior to
mailing such letters and shall cooperate on a joint mailing program for
notification to the Borrowers. The Seller shall also, at Seller's expense,
notify any Custodian and insurance companies and/or agents, that the Servicing
Rights are being transferred and instruct such entities to deliver all payments,
notices, and insurance statements to the Purchaser after the Transfer Date. Such
notices shall instruct such entities to deliver, from and after the Transfer
Date, all applicable payments, notices, bills, statements, records, files and
other documents to Purchaser. All such notices sent to hazard, flood,
earthquake, private mortgage guarantee and other insurers shall comply with the
requirements of the applicable master policies and shall instruct such insurers
to change the mortgagee clause to "Ocwen Federal Bank FSB, its successors and
assigns" or as otherwise required under applicable Servicing Requirements.
Seller shall be responsible for the cost of preparing and delivering all notices
described in this Section and shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the form of
each notice used by Seller to comply with this Section.

            Section 6.03 Statements.

            The Seller shall provide each Borrower with an annual year-end
statement in accordance with the MBS Servicing Agreements, and Internal Revenue
Service or Treasury Department regulations. Such statement shall reflect the
status of the Mortgage Loan up to and including the Transfer Date. The Purchaser
shall not have any responsibility for providing such information for the period
of time the Mortgage Loan was serviced by the Seller.

            Section 6.04 Tax Contracts.

            The Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser to accomplish an EDP
tape transfer of any tax contracts that are in effect, and reasonably promptly
following the Transfer Date the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser
"life-of-loan" assignable tax contracts with Fidelity National Tax Service or
another nationally recognized tax contract provider on each Mortgage Loan. The
Seller shall also pay any fees required to transfer the existing transferable
tax service contracts to the Purchaser. In the event that such a "Life-time" tax
contract is not presently in force, not presently assignable to the Purchaser or
not documented with a complete EDP tax record, the Seller agrees to pay all fees
necessary to obtain a tax contract for the related Mortgage Loan.

            Section 6.05 Payments and Notices Received After the Transfer Date.

            The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that, during the sixty (60)
day period after the Transfer Date, all funds received in connection with the
Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, tax, insurance, principal,
interest and all other types of payments, including, without limitation,
mortgage guaranty or mortgage insurance payments, insurance loss drafts and tax
refunds, are to be immediately paid over to the Purchaser without offset or
deduction. The Purchaser shall be entitled to the service fees and other
servicing related income on all such payments. During such sixty (60) day period
such funds shall be identified by the Seller's loan numbers and shall be
immediately transferred to the Purchaser at the Seller's expense by overnight
courier, for next Business Day delivery, at the address for notices to the
Purchaser. In addition, Seller shall deliver

<PAGE>

                                      -29-

or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, as promptly as practicable after
receipt by Seller, copies of all correspondence received from any Investor or
any Borrower or otherwise relating to any Mortgage Loans. Following such sixty
(60) day period, all such funds and correspondence shall be returned to the
sender with a letter of explanation a copy of which letter shall be sent to the
Purchaser. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall maintain such
staff and facilities during such sixty (60) day period that are sufficient to
perform all of such responsibilities.

            Section 6.06 Service Bureau Cooperation.

            The Seller will cause its service bureau and/or EDP department to
cooperate with the Purchaser, and the Seller will provide a test tape, trial
tape, and an accurate conversion tape containing all history maintained by the
service bureau from the closing date of each MBS Servicing Agreement to the
Transfer Date, Pool and loan information as of the Transfer Date so as to
complete the conversion of all loan, Pool, and security information recorded on
an EDP to EDP basis, or such other basis as may reasonably be requested by
Purchaser, including the information set forth in Section 4.02. Such tapes shall
be provided to Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.02.

            Section 6.07 Limitations on Interim Servicing.

            From and after the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive ownership of
the Servicing Rights shall vest in the Purchaser. The possession of all Mortgage
Files and other books, records, accounts and funds by the Seller following the
Closing Date is solely in a fiduciary capacity for and at the will of the
Purchaser.

            Section 6.08 Custodian Approval.

            If required under the applicable agreement, the Seller will use its
best efforts to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser prior to the Transfer Date,
an approval by the Seller's document Custodian(s) reflecting its or their
willingness to continue to perform the custodial activities for the Purchaser.
Such approval shall specify all current prices that the Custodian will charge
the Purchaser for services. The Seller shall pay all fees to the Custodian when
due if the related MBS Servicing Agreement does not provide for such custodial
fees to be paid from collections or other sources and the Purchaser shall have
no liability for such fees. The Seller will facilitate the presentation and
execution of a new custodial agreement or, at the Purchaser's option, the
assignment of any existing agreement between such Custodian and the Purchaser.
The Purchaser shall have the option to retain the Seller's Custodian or
designate a Custodian of its choice. The Purchaser will name its Custodian at
least 30 days prior to the Transfer Date.

            Section 6.09 Missing Social Security Number; Forms W-8 or W-9.

            The Seller will provide a report satisfactory in form and content to
the Purchaser to substantiate compliance with Internal Revenue Service and other
applicable Treasury Department regulations and requirements applicable to
reporting of interest and obtaining Social Security numbers. The Seller also
agrees to provide the certification of an authorized officer that the Seller has
complied with all Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department
requirements for due

<PAGE>

                                      -30-

diligence in obtaining and maintaining tax identification numbers for each
Mortgage Loan transferred. In addition to the foregoing, the Seller agrees to
reimburse the Purchaser for any and all penalties incurred because of Internal
Revenue Service and, or, Treasury Department requirements for any missing tax
numbers and forms incurred as a result of infractions prior to the Transfer
Date.

            Section 6.10 Servicing Platform.

            The term "Servicing Platform" includes the following:

            (a)   Seller's current office space in Irvine, California;

            (b)   all of the computer equipment and related accessories and
                  facilities used as of the Closing Date in connection with the
                  servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to
                  the computer hardware required to operate and run the Seller's
                  imaging software;

            (c)   all of the computer software, including the imaging software
                  and all enhancements thereof being operated on the computer
                  equipment as of the Closing Date in connection with the
                  servicing of the Mortgage Loans;

            (d)   sufficient consultants and support staff with respect to the
                  computer hardware and software to operate the computer system
                  in the same manner it was operated as of the Closing Date in
                  connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans;

            (e)   all furniture and fixtures and other equipment used as of the
                  Closing Date in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage
                  Loans; and

            (f)   sufficient number of the Seller's employees to service the
                  Mortgage Loans in accordance with the requirements of law and
                  the Servicing Requirements.

            The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the
Servicing Platform is adequate and sufficient for the Purchaser to perform all
of the Purchaser's obligations as servicer under the MBS Servicing Agreements
during the Interim Period.

            The Seller acknowledges that a portion of the Purchase Price
represents consideration paid by the Purchaser for the Seller's maintaining the
Servicing Platform during the Interim Period. The obligations and performance of
the Purchaser under this Agreement are conditioned upon and subject to Seller
maintaining the Servicing Platform for the period commencing on the Cut-off Date
and continuing thereafter through and including the Transfer Date. The Purchaser
will receive all servicing revenues from the MBS Servicing Agreement for this
period including without limitation, all Servicing Fees and Ancillary Income in
accordance with Section 6.01. The Seller agrees that the Purchaser shall assume
no obligations or liabilities and shall not become responsible for the
performance or satisfaction of any obligations or liabilities with respect to or
arising out of the Servicing Platform. In the event that the Seller fails to
maintain the Servicing Platform, then, without

<PAGE>

                                      -31-

waiving any rights or remedies which the Purchaser may have, the Purchaser shall
assume the Servicing Requirements subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement and the Forbearance Agreement if any; provided, however, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to
any material reduction or diminution of the value of the Servicing Rights and
for the costs and expenses related to curing any servicing deficiencies which
result from such failure to maintain the Servicing Platform. The Purchaser shall
invoice the Seller with respect to any unreimbursed amounts, and the Seller
shall pay such amounts within ten (10) days of receipt of such invoice.

            Section 7.01 Publicity.

            As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, a joint press release, in such form as mutually agreed by the
parties hereto, shall be issued by the parties hereto. No other publicity
regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made without
the prior written approval of the parties hereto, except as may be required by
applicable law upon the advice of counsel.

            Section 7.02 Consents.

            The purchase and sale of any Servicing Rights is subject to Seller
obtaining all Bond Insurer Letters, Rating Agency Letters and Trustee Letters
and any other consent or notification letters required pursuant to the MBS
Servicing Agreements at its sole expense. The Seller shall obtain such letters
prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in
obtaining such consent letters and shall timely respond to all reasonable
requests from the Investor concerning the Purchaser and its business operations.
The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing immediately upon obtaining such
consent letters, and the Seller shall provide a copy of each such consent letter
to Purchaser.

            Section 7.03 Third Party Purchase Option.

            The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that in
connection with the marketing of certain residuals owned by the Seller which
were issued pursuant to an MBS Servicing Agreement, the Seller may be required
by a third party purchaser of such residuals (the "Third Party Residual
Purchaser") to offer to sell the Servicing Rights related pursuant to such MBS
Servicing Agreement to such Third Party Residual Purchaser.

            The Purchaser hereby agrees that, in the event that any Third Party
Residual Purchaser requests the right to purchase the Servicing Rights with
respect to a related MBS Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser shall sell to such
Third Party Residual Purchaser such Servicing Rights subject to any applicable
required consents at a purchase price mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the
Purchaser plus all outstanding unreimbursed Advances pursuant to such MBS
Servicing Agreement.

            The purchase option provided pursuant to this Section 7.03 may only
be exercised with respect to the entire pool of Mortgage Loans underlying such
MBS Servicing Agreement; partial exercise is not permitted. Any such sale of
Servicing Rights pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be made without any
representations, warranties or recourse to the Purchaser, except as to the
Purchaser's right to transfer the Servicing Rights free and clear of any lien or
encumbrance incurred or suffered by it and to assign any representations or
warranties received with respect to the Servicing Rights made by the Seller.

            The purchase option provided pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be
exercisable only by third parties acting on their own behalf. Under no

acting on behalf of the Seller be entitled to exercise the purchase option
provided pursuant to this Section 7.03.

            The Purchaser and the Seller represent, each to the other party
hereto, that it has dealt with no broker in connection with the transactions

any claims for brokerage commissions based solely on such party's own acts.

            From time to time prior to the Transfer Date, the Seller shall

requested by the Purchaser and as are reasonably normal and customary in the
mortgage servicing industry, and the Purchaser and the Seller shall afford
reasonable cooperation each to the other both prior to and following the
Transfer Date.

            The Seller and the Purchaser will each, at the request of the other,

that either may reasonably request in order

assumption by the Purchaser of the Servicing Requirements, and the release of
the Seller from the Servicing Requirements.

                     DEFAULTS UNDER MBS SERVICING AGREEMENTS

      (a) Seller has been notified by the Bond Insurer that there has been an
Event of Default under the MBS Servicing Agreements listed below giving the Bond
Insurer the right to terminate Seller as Master Servicer. The Bond Insurer has
elected not to exercise this right to terminate, but has specifically reserved
the right to do so at any time it finds expedient.

      1.    Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997, among
            Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc., as Depositor, New
            Century Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer, and U.S. Bank
            Trust National Association, f/k/a First Trust National Association,
            as Trustee for New Century Asset-Backed Floating Rate Certificates,
            Series 1997-NC2.

      2.    Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1997, among
            Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc., as Depositor, New
            Century Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer, and U.S. Bank
            Trust National Association, f/k/a First Trust National Association,
            as Trustee for New Century Asset-Backed Floating Rate Certificates,
            Series 1997-NC3.

      3.    Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1997, among
            Financial Asset Securities Corp., as Depositor, New Century Mortgage
            Corporation, as Seller and Master Servicer, and U.S. Bank National
            Association, d/b/a First Bank National Association, as Trustee for
            Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, New Century Home Equity Loan
            Trust, Series 1997-NC6.

      (b) Apart from the items set forth in (a) above, Seller believes it is not
in default of its obligations under any MBS Servicing Agreement. However, Seller
notes and hereby discloses that some ambiguity might exist regarding its
performance of one specific element of those obligations. Specifically, Seller
notes that there could potentially be two competing interpretations of Section
4.03 of the MBS Servicing Agreements regarding the servicer's ability to use
principal prepayments deposited in the Collection Account for principal and
interest Advances owed.

      Seller's practice, in accordance with its interpretation of the MBS
Servicing Agreements, has been to use principal prepayments deposited in the
Collection Account to make any needed principal and interest Advances. Auditors
and a bond insurer have been aware of this interpretation and practice and have
expressed no objection to it.

      Seller notes, however, that the language in Section 4.03 could potentially
be interpreted to provide that if the Available Distribution Amount (as defined
in the MBS Servicing Agreements) on the Distribution Date (as defined in the MBS
Servicing Agreements) is less than the amount that would have been distributed
had excess funds in the Collection Account not been used to fund principal and
interest Advances in the prior month, the servicer must "replace" such excess
funds used for principal and interest Advances in the prior month, even though
additional prepayments have been deposited into the Collection Account in the
current month and are otherwise available.

                                   SCHEDULE C

           ASSIGNMENTS, TRANSFERS OR ENCUMBRANCES OF SERVICING RIGHTS

      The Servicing Rights were previously covered by a lien of U.S. Bank
National Association under its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as
amended, with Seller and are subject to the Restated Purchase Agreement, dated
as of July 31, 2000, between U.S. Bank National Association and Seller, as
amended.

                                     (Date)

Ocwen Federal Bank FSB
The Forum, Suite 1002
1675 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard
West Palm Beach, Florida 33401

Dear Sirs:

            We have acted as counsel to New Century Mortgage Corporation, a
California corporation (the "Seller"), with respect to certain matters in
connection with the sale by the Seller of servicing rights (as defined in the)
pursuant to that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of
February 28, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Seller and
Ocwen Federal Bank FSB, a federally chartered thrift (the "Purchaser"), by and
between Seller and Purchaser. This opinion is being provided to you pursuant to
Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement.

            Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

            We have reviewed the Purchase Agreement and such other documents as
we deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of the opinions set forth below.
To the extent that we have deemed appropriate, we have relied upon
representations and certifications of officers of the Seller. We have assumed
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to
the originals of all documents. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:

            1. The Seller has the requisite power, authority and legal right to
engage in the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to execute
and deliver the Purchase Agreement and to perform and observe the terms and
conditions of such agreement.

            2. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Seller and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the Seller,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws and to the availability
of equitable remedies.

            3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, the Purchase
Agreement, or the sale of the Servicing Rights or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement except as expressly
contemplated by its terms

<PAGE>

and except for any Investor approval or consent that is required to be given in
connection with the Purchase Agreement.

            4. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or,
to the best of our knowledge, threatened against the Seller which in our
judgement, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into
question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be likely to
impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement.

            5. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form.

                                Very truly yours,

                               SERVICING STANDARDS

      Subject to the ramp-up time set forth in paragraph F below, the compliance
calculations set forth in paragraph G below and the cure periods set forth in
paragraph H below, the following servicing performance standards (the
"Performance Standards") shall be applicable to Purchaser:

A.    Outbound Calling and Collection Calls. As further described below,
      telephone calls to borrowers are to be made by Purchaser according to the
      following schedule relating to Mortgage Loans for which bankruptcy or
      foreclosure actions have not been commenced:

      A further explanation of the Purchaser's Calling Program is as follows:

      Welcome Calls. Welcome calls will be made regardless of the borrower's
delinquency status. However, if a borrower is delinquent in the first month
following the Transfer Date, the Welcome Call will be made as part of the
calling programs described below for Collection Calls.

      Collection Calls - 5th through the 18th day of the Month. These calls are
made for all Mortgage Loans that are past due between the 5th and 18th day of
the month, except for loans that are screened out from such calls for reasons
including, but not limited to: bankruptcies, interim payments in the first 30
days after transfer, loans for which the historical average payment date is
before the 18th of the month and loans for which borrowers have requested in
writing that Purchaser not contact them.

      Collection Calls - After the 18th Day of the Month but Not Yet in
Foreclosure. These calls are made for all Mortgage Loans that are delinquent
after the 18th day of the month, except for loans that are screened out from
such calls for reasons including, but not limited to: bankruptcies, loans in
foreclosure and loans for which borrowers have requested in writing that
Purchaser not contact them.

B.    Written Correspondence. Purchaser will prepare and deliver the following
      written correspondence:

      1.    Early Late Notices: Purchaser will mail a late notice to all
            borrowers once they are 5 days past their due date, except for the
            following loans that are screened out for such written

----------
(1)   An "attempt" shall include, at a minimum, an actual dialing of an outbound
      call to the borrower's telephone number.

(2)   Once a Right Party Contact has been made, calls will cease for up to 7
      days. For purposes of defining "Business Day", for the Performance
      Standards Fridays will be deemed to include Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

(3)   "Right Party Contact" means contact with an obligor (a signer of the

                  current.

            ii.   Full payoff - means any Defaulted Mortgage Loan which is paid
                  in full and such payment in full is received by Purchaser in

                  applicable Mortgage Note.

            iii.  Shortfall payoff - means a Defaulted Mortgage Loan for which a
                  final payment in an amount less than the indebtedness owed
                  under the applicable Mortgage Note is made consistent with the
                  terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such
                  payment is received by Purchaser in full satisfaction of such
                  indebtedness.

            iv.   Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure - means a Defaulted Mortgage Loan
                  for which title to the Mortgaged Property is taken back by
                  Purchaser through deed in lieu of foreclosure and the
                  resulting REO Property is liquidated consistent with the terms
                  of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

            v.    Modification (subject to REMIC restrictions) - means a
                  Defaulted Mortgage Loan which is modified in a manner
                  consistent with the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement
                  and for which the Borrower has made three consecutive payments
                  consistent with the terms of such Mortgage Loan as so
                  modified.

            vi.   Forbearance Plan - means a Defaulted Mortgage Loan for which a
                  borrower has made three consecutive payments in accordance
                  with a forbearance plan entered into by the borrower.

            vii.  Take-out at Foreclosure Sale - means the Mortgaged Property
                  related to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is purchased at a
                  foreclosure sale by a party other than Purchaser (or by
                  Purchaser on behalf of the owner of the loan) in a manner
                  consistent with the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

            of Mortgage Loans) on a monthly basis and obtain "average net
            proceeds" of at least 87% of the low market value reflected in the
