         Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or
such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with
the Exchange Act.

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 9.6 hereof not involving any
transfer.

         SECTION 2.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be reasonably required by it to hold the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the
Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, and an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee shall
execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven
days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead
of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender
thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such
replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or
such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such
replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or
any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled
to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in
connection therewith.

         Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.4, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 2.4 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

         SECTION 2.5 Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on, if
any, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note
be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 2.6 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

         (a) Each Note shall accrue interest at the applicable Note Rate and
such interest shall be payable on each Distribution Date, subject to Section 3.1
hereof. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note
that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable
Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or
more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date in the manner set forth
in Section 5.01(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Distribution Date as provided in the form of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A.

shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earliest of (i) the
Final Distribution Date, (ii) the Redemption Date or (iii) the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 hereof. All
principal payments on the Notes shall be in the manner set forth in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name
a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of
principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed
or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Final Distribution Date and shall
specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be
presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection
with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section
8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 2.7 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in
effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they
be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and
the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.8 [Reserved].

         SECTION 2.9 Release of Trust Estate.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.9 and Section 11.1 hereof and the terms of the Transaction Documents,
the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture
only upon consent of the Insurer and receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by
an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in
accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) or an Opinion of Counsel in
lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not
require any such Independent Certificates.

         (b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer and with the consent of the
Insurer, shall be entitled to obtain a release from the lien of this Indenture
for any Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at any time in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.08 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

         (c) The Indenture Trustee shall, if requested by the Servicer,
temporarily release to the Servicer the Indenture Trustee's Mortgage Loan File
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
upon compliance by the Servicer of the provisions thereof provided that the
Indenture Trustee's Mortgage Loan File shall have been stamped to signify the
Issuer's pledge to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

         SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to
be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency or its
custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be
registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof will receive a
definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as
provided in Section 2.12 below. Unless and until definitive, fully registered
Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12 below:

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  (i) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and
         effect;

                  (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be
         entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
         Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
         Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the
         sole holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note
         Owners

                  (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section
         conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of
         this Section shall control;

                  (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through
         the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law
         and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or
         the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository
         Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to
         Section 2.12 below, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
         transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
         transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such
         Clearing Agency Participants; and

                  (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
         taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
         evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
         Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage
         only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
         from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or
         representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
         interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
         Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes, to the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

         SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Clearing Agency or the Issuer
advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes and the Clearing Agency or the Issuer is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer at its option advises the Indenture Trustee
in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Owners of
the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency
is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency
shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such
event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

         SECTION 2.13 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture,
and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for all tax purposes, the
Class A-1 Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral relating
to Group 1, the Class A-2 Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral relating to Group 2 and the Class A-3 Notes will qualify as
indebtedness secured by the Collateral relating to Group 3. The Issuer, by
entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note
(and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable
Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for all purposes as indebtedness of
the Issuer.

         SECTION 2.14 ERISA Representation. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance
of a Note, and each Note Owner, by its acceptance of an interest in a Book Entry
Note, will be deemed to have represented, by acquiring the Note, that either (x)
it is not an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA
or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by virtue of a plan's investment in the entity, and is not purchasing the
Note directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of such a plan or entity, or (y)
the acquisition or holding of the Note by the acquirer qualifies for exemptive
relief under Prohibited Class Exemption ("PTCE") 96-23, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 91-38,
PTCE 90-1, PTCE 84-14 or some other applicable exemption.

                                    COVENANTS

         SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and
punctually pay (or will cause to be duly and punctually paid) the principal of
and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and
this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall,
pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, distribute all
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and held therein
for distribution to the Noteholders for the benefit of such Noteholders and the
Insurer. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment
to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having
been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

         The Notes shall be non-recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estates, as
provided in this Indenture. The Issuer shall not otherwise be liable for
payments on the Notes. If any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed
to conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.1, the provisions of this
Section 3.1 shall control.

         SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain
in [________] an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon
the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes and to serve as Paying Agent with respect to the Notes. If at
any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.

         SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in
Section 8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be remitted from amounts withdrawn from the Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Distribution Account for payments on the Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer
except as provided in this Section 3.3.

         Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice
thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer shall
be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided
in Section 6.11 hereof. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other
than the Indenture Trustee) that is not, at the time of such appointment, a
Depository Institution.

         The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby
so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying
Agent will:

         with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons
         entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
         otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such
         Persons as herein provided;

                  (ii) give the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer notice of any
         default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it
         has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made
         with respect to the Notes;

                  (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the
         Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

                  (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
         the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of
         Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met
         by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

                  (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to
         the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
         applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
         applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; provided,
         however, that with respect to withholding and reporting requirements
         applicable to original issue discount (if any) on the Notes, the Issuer
         shall have first provided the calculations pertaining thereto to the
         Indenture Trustee.

         The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same terms as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

         Any termination and release of a Trust Estate shall be done in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

         SECTION 3.4 Existence.

         (a) Subject to Section 3.4(b) below, the Issuer will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws
of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder
is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United
States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes and the Trust Estate.

                                       19

Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper, instrument or further
act to be done on the part of the parties hereto.

         (c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other succession to the
Owner Trustee, the Person succeeding to the Owner Trustee under the Trust
Agreement may exercise every right and power of the Owner Trustee under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Owner
Trustee herein.

         SECTION 3.5 Protection of Trust Estates. The Issuer will from time to
time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

                  (i) provide further assurance with respect to a Grant of all
         or any portion of the related Trust Estate;

                  (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and
         the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively
         the purposes hereof;

                  (iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of
         any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

                  (iv) enforce any rights with respect to each Trust Estate; or

         such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

         SECTION 3.6 Annual Opinions as to the Trust Estate.

         On or before [_______] 25th in each calendar year, beginning in

describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any
indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements
that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and

         SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Home Equity Loans.

         (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person
from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument
or agreement included in any Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the
validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such
other instrument or agreement.

         (b) The Issuer may contract with or otherwise obtain the assistance of
other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and
any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee
in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by
the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Administrator and
Renaissance to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

         (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Transaction
Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in each Trust Estate,
including but not limited to (i) filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing
statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this
Indenture, and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) recording or causing to
be recorded all Mortgages, Assignments of Mortgage, all intervening Assignments
of Mortgage and all assumption and modification agreements required to be
recorded by the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and
within the time periods provided for in this Indenture and/or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Except as otherwise expressly provided
therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any
Transaction Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Holders of at least a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

         (d) Subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if the
Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Servicing
Termination under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Insurer, the
Servicer and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the
action, if any, the Servicer is taking with respect of such default. If such an
Event of Servicing Termination shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to
perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Home Equity Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable
steps available to it to remedy or cause to be remedied such failure.

         (e) Subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as
promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer
of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer") shall be
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the
Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's duties as servicer of the Home
Equity Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and
not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties
as successor Servicer and the servicing of the Home Equity Loans. In case the
Indenture Trustee shall become successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Successor
Servicer any one of its Affiliates acceptable to the Insurer, provided that it
shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in such
capacity as Successor Servicer.

the Issuer made in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or in any
certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the

the circumstance or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or
warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a
period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture

to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any
substantial part of any Trust Estate, or the making by the Issuer of any general

         The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the Insurer
within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an
Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse
of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c) above, its status and
what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Insurer or upon the prior written
direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, with the written consent of the Insurer, may
declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon
any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall
become immediately due and payable.

         At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, with the written consent of the Insurer, by written notice
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if:

         (a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:

                  (i) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and
         all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes
         if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not
         occurred; and

                  (ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
         hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
         advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

         (b) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal
of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.12 below.

         No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

         SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default occurs in the payment of
any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default occurs in the payment of
the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same
becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days,
the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer if the
Insurer has made a payment under an Insurance Policy, pay to the Indenture
Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and
interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at
such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes and in addition thereto such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and its agents and counsel.

         (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee may, and shall at the direction of the
Insurer, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

         (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, with the consent of the Insurer, and shall at the written direction
of the Insurer or of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, with the consent of the Insurer, as more particularly provided in Section
5.4 below, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Noteholders and the Insurer, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Insurer
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy
or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or
by law.

         (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
any Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be
entitled and empowered by intervention in such Proceedings with the consent of
or at the direction of the Insurer or otherwise:

                  (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount
         of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and
         to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
         in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any
         claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each
         predecessor Indenture Trustee and its agents, attorneys and counsel,
         and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
         advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture
         Trustee (except as a result of negligence or bad faith), and of the
         Noteholders and the Insurer allowed in such Proceedings;

                                       32
<PAGE>

                  (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to
         vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes and the Insurer in any election
         of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions
         in any such Proceedings;

                  (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
         received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders, the Indenture
         Trustee and the Insurer on their behalf; and

                  (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
         documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
         of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Holders of Notes allowed
         in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and
         its property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other
         similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of
         such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the
         event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of
         payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee
         such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to
         the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their
         respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
         liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee
         and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence
         or bad faith.

         (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Noteholder or the Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Noteholder or the Insurer in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to
vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

         (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

         (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any
Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

         SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

         (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing of
which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the
Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, or, at the direction of
the Insurer, shall or, if an Insurer Default shall be continuing, at the
direction of a majority of the Holders of the Notes shall, do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.5 below):

                  (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
         express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the
         related Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
         declaration or otherwise, and all amounts payable under the Insurance
         Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer
         and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

                  (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete
         or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
         Collateral;

                  (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
         and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
         and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the related Noteholders or the
         Insurer; and

                  (iv) sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or
         interest therein in a commercially reasonable manner, at one or more
         public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
         law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate any Collateral following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of the Insurer and the Holders of 100% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts
then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest and to reimburse
the Insurer for any unreimbursed Insured Payments and any other amounts due the
Insurer under the Insurance Agreement or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines
that the Collateral in the aggregate will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would
have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Insurer and the Holders of 66-2/3%
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estates for such purpose.

         (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, shall pay out the money or property in
the following order, appropriately allocated between each Group on the basis of
the Collateral securing each Group:

                                       34
<PAGE>

                  FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee Fee
         or Transition Expenses then due and any costs or expenses incurred by
         it in connection with the enforcement of the remedies provided for in
         this Article V and to the Owner Trustee for the Owner Trustee Fee then
         due, each with respect to each Group;

                  SECOND: any amounts payable to the Servicer pursuant to
         Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (so long as not
         Insurer Default as defined in clause (i) of the definition thereof has
         occurred and is continuing) and any premium owing to the Insurer each
         with respect to each Group;

                  THIRD: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
         related Notes for each Group for interest pro rata, according to the
         amounts due and payable on such Notes;

                  FOURTH: to the Noteholders for each Group for amounts due and
         unpaid on the related Notes for principal, pro rata, among the Holders
         of such Notes according to the amounts due and payable until the Note
         Principal Balance of such Class of Notes is reduced to zero;

                  FIFTH: to the Insurer, (so long as no Insurer Default as
         defined in clause (i) of the definition thereof has occurred and is
         continuing) any other amounts owed to the Insurer under the Insurance
         Agreement with respect to each Group;

                  SIXTH: to the Noteholders an amount in respect of any
         Cross-Collateralization Payment to which a Group of Notes is entitled
         and to the applicable Cross-Collateralization Reserve Account, the
         amount of any Cross-Collateralization Reserve Deposit, and for the
         benefit of the other Loan Group, the amount of any
         Cross-Collateralization Payment, if applicable;

                  SEVENTH: to the Class A-3 Noteholders, any Interest Index
         Carryover; and

                  EIGHTH: to the Owner Trustee for any amounts to be distributed
         to the holder of the Ownership Interest.

         The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Distribution Date for
any payment to be made to the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.4. At least
15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the Distribution
Date and the amount to be paid.

         SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 above following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, but need
not (but shall at the written direction of the Insurer), elect to maintain
possession of the Collateral for all Groups. It is the desire of the parties
hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes (although the parties hereto
understand that there exists the possibility of a shortfall in collections of
the Home Equity Loans), and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into
account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral
for all Groups. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral
for the Groups, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an
opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of such Collateral for such purpose.

                                       35
<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless the Insurer has otherwise consented in writing thereto
and:

         (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

         (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such
Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture
Trustee hereunder;

         (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in complying with such request;

         (d) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

         (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given
to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

         It is understood and intended that no Noteholders shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or
to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or
to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

         SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due date thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) to
the extent funds are available therefor out of the related Collateral and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

         SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

                                       36
<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

         SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Noteholder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Insurer (so long as no Insurer
Default exists) or if an Insurer Default exists the Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes of a Group, if only one Class is affected
thereby, or not less than a majority of the sum of the Outstanding Amounts of
each Class of Notes affected thereby, with the consent of the Insurer, shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding
for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

         (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;

         (b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4 above, any direction to
the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be in writing by
the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes with the
consent of the Insurer;

         (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 above have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral for the
Groups pursuant to such Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee
by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amounts of
the Notes, to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be of no force and effect;
and

         (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

         Notwithstanding the rights of the Noteholders set forth in this Section
5.11, subject to Section 6.1 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

                                       37
<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2 above, the
Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
with the consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists), may
waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default
(a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver,
the Issuer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

         Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

         SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for
the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

         SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

         SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any
of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b) above.

         SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

         (a) Promptly following a request from the Insurer or the Indenture
Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer to do so, the Issuer shall take all
such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, may
request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the
Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under
or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the
manner directed by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or
the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions
or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of
each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, subject to the rights of the Insurer hereunder and under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, may, and at the direction (which direction shall
be in writing or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the
Insurer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount if there is an
Insurer Default shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any
action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the
Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval,
extension, or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of
the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

         (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture 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.

         (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                  (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties
         and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture
         and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
         Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture
         Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
         the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
         requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall
         examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
         conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

         (c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

                  (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
         of this Section 6.1;

                  (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error
         of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is
         proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
         pertinent facts; and

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect
         to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
         with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11 above or any
         direction from the Insurer that the Insurer is entitled to give under
         the terms of the Transaction Documents.

         (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section
6.1.

         (e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the
Issuer.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         (f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee shall be segregated
from other funds except to the extent permitted by law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee
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 it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that 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 Indenture
shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the
Issuer under this Indenture except during such time, if any, as the Indenture
Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers
and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

         (h) The Indenture Trustee shall challenge or cause to be challenged any
attempt at substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Issuer
with those of any Owner (as the term "Owner" is defined in the Trust Agreement)
in connection with any insolvency proceeding of the Issuer.

         (i) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of
the TIA.

         (j) Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and without
limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have no
duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any
agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation
statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any
such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or
redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the
payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any
lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against, any part of a Trust Estate other than from funds available in the
Distribution Account, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Issuer, Insurer or Servicer delivered to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture believed by the Indenture Trustee to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

         SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

         (a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting on any resolution, 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
person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
the document.

         (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require and shall be entitled to receive an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion
of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel.

                                       41
<PAGE>

         (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of such agent,
attorney, nominee or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.

         (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers; provided, however, that such action or omission by the
Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

         (e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or
opinion of counsel selected by it with due care with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture, the Notes and the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party, shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

         (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of the Insurer or any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture, unless the Insurer or such Noteholders shall have
offered to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, 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.

         (g) The Indenture 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 Insurer or
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if
paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand.

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

                                       42
<PAGE>

         (i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the
powers granted hereunder.

         (j) The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with
the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Custodian, the Trust or the Administrator (in the case of the Custodian or
Administrator, to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is not acting in the
capacity of Custodian or Administrator). The Indenture Trustee shall have no
liability in connection with compliance by the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust (in the case of the Custodian or
Administrator, to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is not acting in the
capacity of Custodian or Administrator) with statutory or regulatory
requirements related to the Collateral or any Trust Estate. The Indenture
Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or
warranties with respect to the Collateral or any Trust Estate or the validity or
sufficiency of any assignment of the Collateral or any Trust Estate to the
Indenture Trustee.

         (k) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying
Agent or Note Registrar hereunder, the rights, protection, immunities and
indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall
also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

         SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 below.

         SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be (i) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) shall not be accountable for the
Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes or (iii) responsible for any
statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection
with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's
certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Insurer. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of an Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer has received written notice or has actual knowledge
thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Servicer and
the Seller notice of the Default within thirty (30) days after it occurs at the
expense of the Issuer. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal
of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the
Noteholders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

         SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In
addition, upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such
information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is reasonably available to
the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform its federal and state
income tax reporting obligations.

                                       43
<PAGE>

         SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. As compensation for its
services hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, on each
Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee's Fee and Transition Expenses pursuant
to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (which compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and
shall be entitled to reimbursement in addition to Transition Expenses, for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.
The Issuer agrees to cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee
against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. Such indemnity shall not be an expense of
the Trust. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture
Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of
its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to
defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and
the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need to reimburse any expense
or to indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture
Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no
event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

         The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a
Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) hereof with respect to the Issuer,
the expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

         SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer pursuant to this Section. The
Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the
Insurer. The Insurer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the
Notes (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) may remove the Indenture
Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (if given by such
Noteholders) and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the
Insurer. The Issuer shall (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) remove
the Indenture Trustee if:

         (a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 below;

         (b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

         (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture
Trustee or its property; or

         (d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

         If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of the
Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and to the Issuer.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The
retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

         If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount
of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

         If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 below, any
Noteholder may (with the consent of the Insurer) petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.8, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 above shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11 below.

                                       45
<PAGE>

         In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

         SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture
Trustee.

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders
and the Insurer, such title to the Trust Estates, or any part hereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 below
and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof.

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

                  (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
         imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
         and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate
         trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
         trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the
         Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under
         any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to
         be performed the Indenture 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 each Trust Estate or
         any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
         performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
         the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

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

                                       46
<PAGE>

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the
         resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

         (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture 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 VI. 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, jointly with the Indenture
Trustee, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

         (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall remain
primarily liable for all actions of a co-trustee.

         SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall
at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Indenture
Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision
permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any
indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are
outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section
310(b)(1) are met.

         SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

         SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee
hereby represents and warrants that:

         (a) The Indenture Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of State of Illinois, with power and authority to
own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently
owned and such business is currently conducted.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery

         hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of
         Article VI herein; or

                  (vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this

indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel or satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Insurer or
cause the Issuer to be subject to entity level tax.

         SECTION 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may,
with prior consent of the Rating Agencies and the Insurer, and with the consent

Notes affected thereby or a majority of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of
Notes of each Class if all Notes are affected thereby, by Act of such Holders
delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or

or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payment of principal
of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin
or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the
right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture
requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V

respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the

on any Note on any Distribution Date (including the calculation of any of the
individual components of such calculation); or

         (g) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity
with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the related Trust
Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the
lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture
provided further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax.

         The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not
any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

         In connection with requesting the consent of the Noteholders pursuant
to this Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the
Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting
forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture at the
Issuer's expense. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under
this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof.

upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,

Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

         such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of
         property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the
         related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one
         percent of the then aggregate Note Principal Balance of each of the
         Classes of Notes.

         SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

         Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may
be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer's
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an
Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to
factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Servicer or the Issuer, stating that the information
with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer or the
Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.

         Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

         Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI hereof.

         SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1 hereof) conclusive
in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided
in this Section 11.3.

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.

         (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

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

         SECTION 11.4 Notices. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or
permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be
made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

         (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

         (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust
[____]-[__], in care of [___________________________________________], with
copies to the Administrator addressed to: [__________________________________],
[________________________________] and to the Servicer addressed to:
[________________________________], or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The
Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to
the Indenture Trustee.

         (c) the Insurer, by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholders shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder to in writing and
mailed, first-class postage pre-paid, or personally delivered or telecopied to:
[___________________________________________], [__________________]. The Insurer
shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may
be.

         Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed
by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at
the following address: Moody's Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, 4th
Floor, New York, New York 10007 and (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's, at
the following address: Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street (41st Floor), New York, New York
10004; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be
designated by written notice to the other parties.

         SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

                                       61
<PAGE>

         In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations
created hereunder.

         SECTION 11.6 Rights of the Insurer to Exercise Rights of Noteholders.
By accepting its Note, each Noteholder agrees that unless an Insurer Default
exists, the Insurer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the
Noteholders as specified under this Agreement without any further consent of the
Noteholders. Any right conferred to the Insurer hereunder shall be suspended and
shall run to the benefit of the Noteholders during any period in which there
exists an Insurer Default, provided, however, that during an Insurer Default,
the consent of the Insurer must be obtained with respect to any amendments that
may materially adversely affect the Insurer.

         SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to
be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act, such required provision shall control.

         The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on
any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.

         SECTION 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

         SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

         SECTION 11.10 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

         SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, the Insurer, and any
other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest
in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                                       62
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

         SECTION 11.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         SECTION 11.14 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.16 Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles VII, VIII and IX of the Trust
Agreement.

                                       63
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.17 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time institute against the Transferor (and any
wholly-owned subsidiary thereof), the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer, or
join in any institution against the Transferor (and any wholly-owned subsidiary
thereof), the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any
of the Transaction Documents.

         SECTION 11.18 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the
Insurer, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified
public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts
with the Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. The Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (to the extent described in the
Insurance Agreement) shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required
by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 11.19 Inconsistencies With the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In
the event certain provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the provisions
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

         SECTION 11.20 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Indenture will inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the Noteholders, the Note
Owners, the Insurer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, no other person will have any
right or obligation hereunder.

                                       64
<PAGE>

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused
this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly
authorized and duly attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

         In instances where the original recorded Mortgage is not delivered as
provided above, and in instances where intervening assignments called for by
clause (v) above are unavailable, the Seller will deliver or cause to be
delivered the original recorded Mortgage and intervening assignments to the
Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof
but in no event later than one year after the Closing Date.

         The Seller hereby confirms to the Depositor and the Trustee that it has
caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage Loans to
be clearly and unambiguously marked, and has made the appropriate entries in its
general accounting records, to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been
transferred to the Trustee, as designee of the Depositor, and constitute part of
the Trust in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.

(b) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein be a sale
by the Seller to the Depositor of all the Seller's right, title and interest in
and to the Mortgage Loans and other property described above and the sale by the
Depositor to the Trust of all the Depositor's right, title and interest in and
to the Mortgage Loans and other property described above. In the event either
transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby
grants to the Depositor, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, a
security interest in all of its respective right, title and interest in, to and
under the Mortgage Loans and other property described above; and this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller, the
Depositor and the Trustee 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 the
Agreement.

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

         Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, neither the
Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (and the Servicer
shall ensure that no Subservicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any
interest in the Trust or any portion thereof, or permit the Trust or any portion
thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or
other encumbrance of, any other Person.

         In the event that the parties hereto have failed to transfer the entire
legal ownership in and to each Mortgage Loan to the Trust, the parties hereto
intend that this document operate to transfer the entire equitable ownership
interest in and to each Mortgage Loan to the Trust.

         (c) Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Seller, at its own
expense, shall prepare and send for recording the Assignments of Mortgage in
favor of the Trustee, in the appropriate real property or other records;
provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to record Assignments
of Mortgage if the related Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in
which the recording thereof is not necessary to protect the interests of the
Trustee or Certificateholders in the related Mortgage as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, delivered
to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. With respect to any Assignment of
Mortgage as to which the related recording information is unavailable within
thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, such Assignment of Mortgage shall
be submitted for recording within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
information but in no event later than one year after the Closing Date. The
Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to retain a
copy of each Assignment of Mortgage submitted for recording. In the event that
any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Seller, shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of
Mortgage or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Seller,
shall be required to submit each such Assignment of Mortgage for recording. Any
failure of the Seller to comply with this Section 2.01(c) shall result in the
obligation of the Seller to purchase or substitute for the related Mortgage
Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02.

         (d) Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee
shall have any responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as
expressly provided in Section 2.02. Without limiting the effect of the preceding
sentence, in reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to such subsection, neither
the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining
whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine
if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been
recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or
whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but
shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that
it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports
to be recorded, but shall not be required to determine whether any Person
executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon
is genuine.

         (e) Notwithstanding the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 2.01(c), Assignments of Mortgage shall be submitted by the Seller for
recording within five (5) Business Days after the earlier to occur of (i) a
transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans from the Servicer and (ii) an
Event of Default.

         Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee hereby acknowledges
the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, and, subject to the review
provided for in this Section 2.02 and the period for delivery provided for in
Section 2.01, its receipt or that of the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of
the Mortgage Files, and declares that the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee holds and will hold such documents and all amounts received by it
thereunder and hereunder in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer. If the Seller is given notice under this Section 2.02 that a Mortgage
File is defective or incomplete and if the Seller does not correct or cure such
omission or defect within the 90-day period specified in this Section 2.02, the
Seller shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee (i) on the
Determination Date in the month following the month in which such 90-day period
expired at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) upon the expiration
of such 90-day period if the omission or defect would result in the related
Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage Loan for purposes of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall
be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account (and the
Servicer shall deposit such amount upon receipt) no later than the applicable
Determination Date or the Business Day preceding the expiration of such 90-day
period, as the case may be; and, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Seller, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its
designee any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a
material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute
the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such defect or omission available
to the Servicer (in its role as such), the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders. An Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth in
Section 2.05(d) shall be delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such
repurchase.

         The Seller, promptly following the transfer of (i) a Defective Mortgage
Loan from or (ii) an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to
this Section 2.02 or Section 2.05, as the case may be, shall amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, appropriately mark the Electronic Ledger and make appropriate
entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer and the addition
of any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, if applicable.

         On the Closing Date or no later than the 45th day following the Closing
Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall certify to the
Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer (and the Trustee if the Custodian is so
certifying) that it has reviewed each Mortgage File and that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit O as not covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File
required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i) - (v) and (vii) of
Section 2.01(a) are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by
it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii)
based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule which corresponds to items (ii) and (iii) of the
definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth
in the Mortgage File. If within such 45-day period the Trustee or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage
File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage
Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its
review, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee determines that
such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Trustee
or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of
its review notify in the form of an exception report and the Seller shall have a
period of ninety (90) days after such notice within which to correct or cure any
such defect.

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

         On the 360th day following the Closing Date, the Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer
an updated exception report showing the documents outstanding pursuant to
Section 2.01(a) along with a final certification annexed hereto as Exhibit P
from the previous certification issued in the form of Exhibit O. The Trustee or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall also maintain records adequate to
determine the date on which any document required to be delivered to it after
such 360th day following the Closing Date must be delivered to it, and on each
such date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall review
the related Mortgage File to determine whether such document has, in fact, been
delivered. After the delivery of the final certification, a form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit P, (i) the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee shall provide to the Servicer and the Seller (and to the Trustee if
delivered by the Custodian), no less frequently than monthly, updated exception
reports showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.01(a) until all
such exceptions have been eliminated and (ii) the Seller shall provide to the
Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and the Servicer, no less
frequently than monthly, updated certifications indicating the then current
status of exceptions until all such exceptions have been eliminated; provided
that the delivery of the final certification shall not act as a waiver of any of
the rights the Certificateholders may have with respect to such exceptions, and
all rights are reserved with respect thereto.

         Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian makes any representations as to
and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, sufficiency, legality,
due authorization, recordation or genuineness of any document or (ii) the
collectability, insurability or effectiveness of any of the Mortgage Loans.

         Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Seller, the
Servicer and the Depositor.

         in good standing under the laws of each state where a Mortgaged
         Property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable law from
         such qualification or is otherwise not required under applicable law to
         effect such qualification and no demand for such qualification has been
         made upon the Seller by any state having jurisdiction;

         Seller and the performance by it of and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement will not violate the Seller's articles of incorporation

         other instrument to which the Seller is a party or which may be
         applicable to the Seller or any of its assets;

         agency having jurisdiction, which violation would materially and

         of the Seller or any of its properties or materially and adversely
         affect the performance of any of its duties hereunder;

                  (v) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations of, the Seller pending or, to the knowledge of the

         or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery

         contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals,
         authorizations and orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the
         Closing Date;

                  (x) No Officer's Certificate, statement, report or other
         document prepared by the Seller and furnished or to be furnished by it
         pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions
         contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of material fact;

                  (xii) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in
         the ordinary course of business of the Seller; and

                  (xiii) The Seller has caused or hereby agrees to cause to be
         performed any and all acts required to be performed to preserve the

         its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to
         enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer and the performance by it of and compliance with the terms of

         acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument
         to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the

         generally or the rights of creditors of insured institutions, and by
         general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

         Depositor and the performance by it of and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement will not violate the Depositor's charter or by-laws 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 or
         acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument
         to which the Depositor is a party or which may be applicable to the
         Depositor or any of its assets;

                  (iii) The Depositor has the full power and authority to enter
         into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement to
         be consummated by it, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this
         Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
         delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
         binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in
         accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be
         limited by insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or
         other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
         generally, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such
         enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

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

                  (v) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations of, the Depositor pending or, to the knowledge of the
         Depositor, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other
         tribunal (A) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit its entering
         into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that, if
         determined adversely, would prohibit or materially and adversely affect
         the performance by the Depositor of any of its obligations under, or
         the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement;

                  (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 Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor
         with, this Agreement, or for the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals,
         authorizations and orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the
         Closing Date; and

                  (vii) With respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan and following
         the transfer of the Initial Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the
         Depositor had good title to the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
         Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.

                                      -40-

         (d) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03
shall survive the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust. Upon
discovery of a breach of any representations and warranties which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate
Insurer, the Person discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the other parties. Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of such breach, or, with the prior written consent of a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, such longer period specified in such consent, the
Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall cure such
breach in all material respects.

         Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.

         (a) The Seller represents and warrants to the Servicer, Depositor and
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows as of the Closing
Date:

                  1. The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
         complete, true and correct as of the dates as of which the information
         therein is given;

                  2. The Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages have not been assigned
         or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than warehouse lenders,
         and immediately prior to the transactions herein contemplated, the
         Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and was the sole owner
         and holder of the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any and all liens,
         claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges,
         charges or security interests of any nature (collectively, a "Lien"),
         other than any such Lien released simultaneously with the sale
         contemplated herein, and had full right and authority, subject to no
         interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to
         sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement, and immediately
         upon the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan as contemplated
         by this Agreement, the Trust will be the sole beneficial owner of, each
         Mortgage Loan free and clear of any lien, claim, participation
         interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other
         encumbrance or other interest of any nature;

                  3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative
         Loan, each Mortgage is a valid and existing lien on the property
         therein described, and each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all
         encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of the Mortgage,
         except (i) liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet
         due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
         way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
         recording such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being
         acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically
         reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of
         the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) other matters to which like properties
         are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
         benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, (iv)
         in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is a condominium or an
         individual unit in a planned unit development, liens for common charges
         permitted by statute and (v) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by
         a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, the related First
         Lien. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
         related to the Mortgage and delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
         on behalf of the Trustee establishes in the Seller a valid and
         subsisting lien on the property described therein, and the Seller has
         full right to sell and assign the same to the Trust;

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

                  4. The terms of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been
         impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written
         instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the
         interests of the Trust, and which has been delivered to the Trustee or
         the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. The substance of any such
         alteration or modification is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  5. No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in
         connection with any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released,
         in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement
         which has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if
         any, and which has been delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on
         behalf of the Trustee;

                  6. Except with respect to delinquencies described in clause
         (12) hereof, no Mortgagor is in default in complying with the terms of
         its Mortgage Note or Mortgage, and the Seller has not waived any
         default, breach, violation or event of acceleration except that the
         Seller may have accepted late payments, and all taxes, governmental
         assessments, insurance premiums or water, sewer and municipal charges
         which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of
         funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every
         such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not
         yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds or induced,
         solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
         than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
         amount required by the Mortgage, except for interest accruing from the
         date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage
         proceeds, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one
         (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and
         interest;

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

                  8. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which
         have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
         outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting any
         Mortgaged Property which are, or may be, liens prior or equal to, or
         coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage except those that are stated
         in the title insurance policy and for which related losses are
         affirmatively insured against by such policy;

                  9. All of the improvements that were included for the purpose
         of determining the Appraised Value of each 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 that are stated in the title insurance
         policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against
         by such policy;

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

                  10. No improvement located on or being part of any Mortgaged
         Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation.
         All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or
         issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
         and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but
         not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting
         certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
         authorities and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
         applicable law;

                  11. All parties that have had any interest in any Mortgage
         Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
         during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
         were) (1) in compliance with any and all licensing requirements of the
         United States and of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
         Property is located that are applicable to such parties and (2)(A)
         organized under the laws of such state or (B) qualified to do business
         in such state or exempt from such qualification in a manner so as not
         to affect adversely the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan or (C)
         federal savings and loan associations or national banks having
         principal offices in such state or (D) not doing business in such
         state;

                  12. With respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, as of
         September 1, 2001, (i) all payments required to be made on each Initial
         Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Note have been
         made, except for approximately [0.95]% of the Initial Mortgage Loans
         (by Principal Balance as of [_________] [___], [____]) which are up to
         [59] days delinquent and (ii) no payment required to be made on any
         Initial Mortgage Loan has been more than [59] days delinquent more than
         once during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
         [_________] [___], [____];

                  13. Each of the documents and instruments included in a
         Mortgage File is duly executed and in due and proper form and each such
         document or instrument is in a form generally acceptable to prudent
         institutional mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase
         mortgage loans;

                  14. The Mortgage Notes and the related Mortgages are genuine,
         and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
         thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
         enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting
         the rights of creditors generally, and by general equity principles
         (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding
         in equity or at law). All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
         had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and
         each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by
         such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who is a party to the
         Mortgage Note and the Mortgage in an individual capacity, and not in
         the capacity of a trustee or otherwise;

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

                  15. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
         law, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real
         estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
         opportunity or disclosure laws, applicable to the origination and
         servicing of the Mortgage Loans or otherwise applicable to the Mortgage
         Loans have been complied with, and the Seller has and shall maintain in
         its possession, available for the Trustee's and the Certificate
         Insurer's inspection, and shall deliver to the Trustee or the
         Certificate Insurer, as applicable, upon demand, evidence of compliance
         with all such requirements;

                  16. Except for Escrow Repair Loans, the proceeds of the
         Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for
         future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to
         completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to
         disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All
         costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the
         Mortgage Loan have been paid;

                  17. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA mortgage title
         insurance policy or such other form of policy acceptable to Fannie Mae
         or Freddie Mac, issued by and constituting the valid and binding
         obligation of a title insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage
         lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable
         to the Mortgage Loans for sale to prudent investors in the secondary
         market that invest in mortgage loans such as the Mortgage Loans and
         qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns,
         as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the case of a Mortgage
         Loan secured by a First Lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the
         second priority lien of the Mortgage in the case of a Mortgage Loan
         secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in the
         original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller is the sole
         named insured of such mortgage title insurance policy, the assignment
         to the Trustee of the Seller's interest in such mortgage title
         insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to the
         insurer or the same has been obtained, and such mortgage title
         insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
         and effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee upon the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No
         claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no
         prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done,
         by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such
         mortgage title insurance policy;

                  18. All improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured
         by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of
         extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
         where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies
         conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. If a Mortgaged
         Property was, at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan,
         in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Hazard
         Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
         special flood hazards (and if the flood insurance policy referenced
         herein has been made available), a flood insurance policy is in effect
         with respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable
         carrier in an amount representing coverage described in this Agreement.
         All individual insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance
         policy") are the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and
         contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors
         and assigns, as mortgagee. All premiums thereon have been paid. The
         Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
         insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's
         failure to do so, 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;

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

                  19. No Mortgage Loan is subject to any right of rescission,
         set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor
         will the operation of any of the terms of any Mortgage Note or the
         related Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder in accordance
         with the terms thereof, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
         unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
         rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
         usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
         defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

                  20. Each Mortgage Loan was originated or purchased and
         reunderwritten by the Seller;

                  21. Except with respect to any Balloon Loan, each Mortgage
         Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest
         which would be sufficient, in the absence of late payments, to fully
         amortize such loan within the term thereof, beginning no later than
         sixty (60) days after disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage
         Loan. Each Mortgage Loan bears a fixed interest rate for the term of
         the Mortgage Loan or an adjustable-interest rate based on the related
         Loan Index. Each Balloon Loan has an original term of not less than
         fifteen (15) years and provides for level monthly payments based on a
         thirty (30) year amortization schedule and a final Monthly Payment
         substantially greater than the preceding Monthly Payments;

                  22. Each Mortgage contains a customary provision for the
         acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
         Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold
         without the prior consent of the holder thereunder;

                  23. No Mortgage Loan is a construction loan;

                  24. The Mortgage Notes are not and have not been secured by
         any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of
         the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable
         security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause 3 above;

                  25. Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
         provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
         adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
         benefits of the security, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage
         designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (ii) otherwise by
         judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other
         exemption available to the Mortgagor that would interfere with the
         right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
         to foreclose the Mortgage;

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

                  26. 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 Trustee or the Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of
         trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
         Mortgagor, which fees and expenses shall constitute Servicing Advances;

                  27. Each Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified
         in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No residence or dwelling is a
         manufactured dwelling that is not treated as real property under local
         law. No Mortgaged Properties are held under a ground lease;

                  28. The Mortgage Loans were underwritten in accordance with
         the Seller's underwriting guidelines described in the Prospectus under
         the heading "The Seller--Underwriting";

                  29. 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 any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

                  30. No Mortgage Loan was originated under a buy-down plan;

                  31. Other than as provided by this Agreement, there is no
         obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party to make
         payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagors;

                  32. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in
         possession of a complete Mortgage File, except those documents
         delivered to the Trustee or Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, and
         there are no custodial agreements in effect adversely affecting the
         right or ability of the Seller to make the document deliveries required
         hereby;

                  33. No Mortgage Loan was selected for inclusion under this
         Agreement on any basis which was intended to have a material adverse
         effect on the Certificateholders;

                  34. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation or other
         contingent interest feature;

                  35. With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a second
         lien on the related Mortgaged Property:

                           (a) if the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is higher
                  than 80%, either the related First Lien does not provide for a
                  balloon payment or, if the related First Lien does provide for
                  a balloon payment, the maturity date of the second lien is
                  prior to the maturity date of the First Lien;

                           (b) the related First Lien does not provide for
                  negative amortization;

                           (c) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan secured
                  by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property is required
                  by the holder of the related First Lien or such consent has
                  been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File; and

                           (d) except with respect to no more than [10]% of the
                  Initial Mortgage Loans which are fixed-rate Mortgage Loans
                  secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property,
                  measured by outstanding Principal Balances as of the Cut-Off
                  Date, the related First Lien is not held by an individual;

                  36. Each Mortgage Loan conforms, and all the Mortgage Loans in
         the aggregate conform, in all material respects to the description
         thereof set forth in the Prospectus Supplement;

                  37. A full appraisal on forms approved by [Fannie Mae] or
         [Freddie Mac] was performed in connection with the origination of each
         Mortgage Loan. Each appraisal meets guidelines that would be generally
         acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate or
         purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans for sale to
         prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage loans
         such as the Mortgage Loans;

                  38. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no Mortgaged
         Property was, as of the related Cut-Off Date, located within a one-mile
         radius of any site listed in the National Priorities List as defined
         under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
         Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or on any similar state list of
         hazardous waste sites which are known to contain any hazardous
         substance or hazardous waste;

                  39. None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a bankruptcy
         proceeding;

                  40. No more than [___]% of the aggregate Principal Balance of
         all the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date relates to
         Mortgage Loans originated or purchased under the Seller's limited
         documentation program, non-income verification program for
         self-employed borrowers or stated income program;

                  41. Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage"
         within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;

                  42. Each Cooperative Loan is secured by a valid, subsisting
         and enforceable perfected first lien and security interest in the
         related Mortgaged Property, subject only to (i) the rights of the
         Cooperative Corporation to collect Maintenance and assessments from the
         Mortgagor, (ii) the lien of the Blanket Mortgage, if any, on the
         Cooperative Property and of real property taxes, water and sewer
         charges, rents and assessments on the Cooperative Property not yet due
         and payable, and (iii) other matters to which like Cooperative Units
         are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
         benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security
         Agreement or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
         Cooperative Unit. Each original UCC financing statement, continuation
         statement or other governmental filing or recordation necessary to
         create or preserve the perfection and priority of the first priority
         lien and security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary
         Lease has been timely and properly made. Any security agreement,
         chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Cooperative Loan
         and delivered to the Seller or its designee establishes in the Seller a
         valid and subsisting perfected first lien on and security interest in
         the property described therein, and the Seller has full right to sell
         and assign the same;

                  43. Each Cooperative Corporation qualifies as a "cooperative
         housing corporation" as defined in Section 216 of the Code;

                  44. Each adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan is secured by a first
         lien;

                  45. Each Mortgage Loan will comply with the undertakings in,
         and no Mortgage Loan will be subject to the requirement for
         retrospective relief pursuant to, either (a) the Stipulated Order on
         Consent, dated as of September 17, 1999, among Delta Funding
         Corporation, Delta Financial Corporation and the Office of the Attorney
         General of the State of New York or (b) the Remediation Agreement,
         dated as of September 17, 1999, between Delta Funding Corporation and
         the Banking Department of the State of New York; and

                  46. Each Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 bears interest at a
         fixed rate for the life of the Mortgage Loan.

         (b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and the
termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.04 or 8.01. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties, which materially and adversely affects the value of, or the
interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in,
the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties. Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or
its receipt of notice of breach, the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to
cure such breach in all material respects or shall purchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trust or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan as provided in
Section 2.05 for such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at
the Purchase Price, and in each case shall be accomplished in the manner set
forth in Section 2.02. The Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligations under
this subparagraph. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller
to cure, substitute or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller
respecting such breach available to the Servicer (in its role as such), the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. An Officer's
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth in Section 2.05(d)
shall be delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such repurchase.

Section 2.05.     Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

         (a) On a Determination Date within two (2) years following the Closing
Date and which is on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be
required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 or 2.04, the Seller
may deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in substitution for any one or more of the
Defective Mortgage Loans which the Seller would otherwise be required to
repurchase pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04.

         (b) The Seller shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee in writing not
less than five (5) Business Days before the related Determination Date which is
on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be required to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04 of its intention
to effect a substitution under this Section 2.05. On such Determination Date
(the "Substitution Date"), the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee (1) the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans to
be substituted for the Defective Mortgage Loans, (2) a list of the Defective
Mortgage Loans to be substituted for by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans,
(3) an Officer's Certificate (A) stating that the aggregate Principal Balance of
all Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans (determined with respect to each Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the Determination Date on which it was
substituted) including the principal balance of Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loans being substituted on such Determination Date does not exceed an amount
equal to 5% of the aggregate Original Class Principal Balance as of the Closing
Date, (B) stating that all conditions precedent to such substitution specified
in subsection (a) have been satisfied and attaching as an exhibit a supplemental
Mortgage Loan schedule (the "Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule") setting forth
the same type of information as appears on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and
representing as to the accuracy thereof and (C) confirming that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04 are true and correct in
all material respects with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loans on and as of
such Determination Date, provided that remedies for the inaccuracy of such
representations are limited as set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.04 and this Section
2.05, (4) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth below and (5) a
certificate stating that cash in the amount of the related Substitution
Adjustment, if any, has been delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee shall release such Defective Mortgage Loans to the
Seller.

         (c) Concurrently with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 2.05(a) and (b) above and the transfer of such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Exhibit C to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to exclude all Mortgage Loans being
replaced by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and to include the
information set forth on the Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to
such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, and all references in this Agreement to
Mortgage Loans shall include such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and be
deemed to be made on or after the related Substitution Date, as the case may be,
as to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.

         (d) In connection with any Mortgage Loan that the Seller is required to
purchase or replace, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such purchase or substitution will not cause (x) any
federal tax to be imposed on the Trust, including, without limitation, any
Federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the start-up day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code or (y) any portion of any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificate is outstanding. In the event that such opinion
indicates that a repurchase or substitution will result in the imposition of a
prohibited transaction tax, give rise to net taxable income or be deemed a
contribution to a REMIC after its Startup Day, the Seller shall not be required
to repurchase or replace any such Mortgage Loan unless and until the Servicer
has determined and given the Seller and the Trustee written notice that there is
an actual or imminent default with respect thereto or that such defect or breach
adversely affects the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan.

         Section 2.06. Execution and Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered
on the Closing Date to or upon the order of the Seller, in exchange for the
Mortgage Loans, concurrently with the sale, assignment and conveyance to the
Trustee of the Mortgage Loans, each Class of Certificates in authorized
denominations or Percentage Interests, together evidencing the ownership of the
entire Trust.

         Section 2.07. Designation of Interests in REMICs.

         (a) The Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC
III (which together constitute the Trust) shall be treated as a REMIC under
Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement
or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that
preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. The assets of REMIC I shall
include the Mortgage Loans, the Accounts (other than the Pre-Funding Account,
the Net Rate Cap Fund and the Initial Interest Coverage Account), any REO
Property, and any proceeds of the foregoing. The REMIC I Regular Interests (as
defined below) shall constitute the assets of REMIC II. The REMIC II Regular
Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC III.

         (b) REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) [the REMIC I classes] (together,
the "REMIC I Regular Interests"), which (i) will be uncertificated and
non-transferable, and (ii) are hereby designated as the "regular interests" in
REMIC I and (y) the [___________], which are hereby designated as the single
"residual interest" in REMIC I (the REMIC I Regular Interests, together with the
[_____________], the "REMIC I Certificates"). The REMIC I Regular Interests
(other than the [Class ___] Certificates) shall be recorded on the records of
REMIC I as being issued to and held by the Trustee on behalf of REMIC II.

         The REMIC I Certificates will have the following designations, initial
principal balances and pass-through rates:

                                                                 Pass-

                   shall at any time of determination equal the weighted average

                   the Pass-Through Rate for the first month during the
                   Pre-Funding Period shall not exceed the weighted average of
                   the Certificate Rates of the REMIC III Regular Certificates.]

         On each Distribution Date, principal collections and realized losses on
the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated sequentially, in reverse order to which
they are listed above, to the REMIC I Regular Interests, until the principal
balance of each such class is reduced to zero. The Class [R-1] Certificates
shall have no principal balance and no pass-through rate and shall be entitled
to only those distributable assets, if any, remaining in REMIC I on each
Distribution Date after all amounts required to be distributed to the REMIC I
Regular Interests and applicable Trust expenses have been paid. It is expected
that there will not be any distributions on the Class [R-1] Certificate.

         (c) REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) [the REMIC II Classes] (2) below,
[Class II-Q] Interests (the "REMIC II Regular Interests"), which will be
uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the "regular
interests" in REMIC II and (y) the Class [R-2] Certificates, which are hereby
designated as the single "residual interest" in REMIC II (the REMIC II Regular
Interests, together with the Class [R-II] Certificates, the "REMIC II
Certificates"). The REMIC II Regular Interests shall be recorded on the records
of REMIC II as being issued to and held by the Trustee on behalf of REMIC III.

         Interest from the REMIC I Regular Interests that is allocable to
payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans (the "Turbo Amount") will not be
paid directly as principal to the REMIC II Regular Interests, but instead a
portion of the interest payable with respect to the Class [II-Q] Interest which
equals [1]% of the Turbo Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal
balances of the Class [II-A-1F, Class II-A-1A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and
Class II-B] Interests in the same manner in which the Turbo Amount is allocated
among the Class [A-1F, Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B]
Certificates, respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal on the
Class II-Q Interest). Principal payments on the REMIC I Regular Interests shall
be allocated [99]% to the Class [II-Q] Interest and [1]% to the Class [II-A-1F,
Class II-A-1A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B] Interests, until paid
in full. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to the Class [II-A-1F,
Class II-A-1A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B] Interests shall be
apportioned among such classes in the same manner as principal is payable with
respect to the Class [A-1F, Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B]
Certificates, respectively. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments on
REMIC I Regular Interests that are attributable to the Excess
Overcollateralization Amount shall be allocated to the Class [II-Q] Interest.
Realized losses shall be applied such that after all distributions have been
made on such Distribution Date (i) the principal balances of the Class [II-A-1F,
Class II-A-1A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B] Interests are each
[1]% of the principal balances of the Class [A-1F, Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class
M-2 and Class B] Certificates, respectively; and (ii) the aggregate principal
balance of the Class [II-Q] Interest is equal to the sum of the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the Pre-Funded Amount, less an
amount equal [1]% of the aggregate Class Principal Balances of the Certificates.
The REMIC II Certificates will have the following designations and pass-through
rates, and distributions of principal and interest thereon shall be allocated to

         the Class II-A-IO shall constitute 12 separate components of the Class
         II-A-IO, each of which shall be designated as a separate REMIC II
         Regular Interest.]

[(3)]    [Principal will be allocated to and apportioned among the Class A-1F
         Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates, in the same
         proportion as principal is payable with respect to such Certificates,
         except that a portion of such principal in an amount up to the Excess
         Overcollateralization Amount shall first be allocated as a payment of
         interest to the Class BIO Certificates, and all principal will be
         allocated as a payment of interest to the Class BIO Certificates after
         the principal balances of the other Regular Certificates have been
         reduced to zero.]

[(4)]    [Except as provided in note (5), interest will be allocated among the
         Class A-1F, Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates
         in the same proportion as interest is payable on such Certificates.]

[(5)]    [Any interest with respect to this REMIC II Regular Interest in excess
         of the product of (i) 100 times the weighted average coupon of the
         Class II-A-1F, Class II-A-1A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2, Class II-B
         and Class II-Q, where each of such classes, other than the Class II-Q
         Interest is first subject to a cap and floor equal to the Class A-1F,
         Class A-1A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Pass-Through Rates,
         respectively, and the Class II-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to
         0%, and (ii) the principal balance of this REMIC II Regular Interest,
         shall not be allocated to the other Certificates but will be allocated
         to the Class BIO Certificates. However, the Class BIO Certificates
         shall be subordinated to the extent provided in Section 5.01.]

[(6)]    [On each Distribution Date, available funds, if any, remaining in REMIC
         II after payments of interest and principal, as designated above, will
         be distributed to the Class R-2 Certificate. It is expected that there
         will not be any distributions on the Class R-2 Certificates.]

A-IO and Class BIO Certificates are hereby designated as "regular interests"
with respect to REMIC III (the "REMIC III Regular Interests") and the Class R-3

satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest

         Section 2.10. Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.

         (a) For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC comprising the Trust
shall have a calendar year and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of
accounting.

         (b) The Tax Matters Person shall prepare, or cause to be prepared,
execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer or Certificateholders, as
applicable, any income tax information returns for each taxable year with
respect to the Trust containing such information at the times and in the manner
as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules,
and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trust and the

name, title, address and telephone number of the person that Holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information at the time or times and in the manner required by
the Code and shall apply for an employer identification number from the Internal
Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method. Such federal,
state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee
or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or
state or local tax laws, regulations or rules.

         (c) In the first federal income tax return of the Trust for its short

<PAGE>

         (e) The Servicer and the Trustee, upon request, shall promptly furnish
the Tax Matters Person with all such information as may be reasonably available
to, or in the possession of, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable and as
may be required in connection with the Tax Matters Person's REMIC reporting
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Tax Matters Person shall have no
responsibility for the lack of any information required in connection with REMIC
reporting obligations that is not provided to it by the Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable.

         Section 2.11. Tax Matters Person. The tax matters person with respect
to each REMIC (the "Tax Matters Person") shall be the holder of the Tax Matters
Person Residual Interest which initially is the Seller. The Tax Matters Person
shall at all times hold the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest and shall have
the same duties with respect to the Trust as those of a "tax matters partner"
under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the Code. Each holder of a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed to have agreed, by acceptance thereof, to
be bound by this Section 2.11.

         Section 2.12. REMIC Related Covenants. It is intended that each REMIC
formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of each REMIC shall be
conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC as defined in and in accordance with
the REMIC Provisions. For as long as the Trust shall exist, the Trustee, the
Servicer and the Tax Matters Person shall act in accordance herewith to assure
continuing treatment of each REMIC as a REMIC and avoid the imposition of tax on
the Trust. In particular:

         (a) The Trustee shall not create, or knowingly permit the creation of,
any "interests" in any REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other
than the interests represented by the Regular Certificates, the REMIC I Regular
Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Residual Certificates.

         (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, the Seller shall not
grant and the Trustee shall not accept property unless (i) substantially all of
the property held in the Trust constitutes either "qualified mortgages" or
"permitted investments" as defined in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5),
respectively, and (ii) no property shall be contributed to the Trust after the
Startup Day unless such grant would not subject any REMIC to the 100% tax on
contributions to a REMIC after its Startup Day imposed by Code Section 860G(d).

         (c) The Trustee shall not accept on behalf of the Trust any fee or
other compensation for services (other than as otherwise provided herein) and
shall not accept on behalf of the Trust any income from assets other than those
permitted to be held by a REMIC.

         (d) The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or any portion
of the Mortgage Loans (other than in accordance with Section 2.02, 2.04 or
3.16), unless such sale is pursuant to a "qualified liquidation" as defined in
Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and in accordance with Article VIII.

         (e) The Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall maintain books with
respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

                                      -55-

         (f) Upon filing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Tax Matters
Person shall furnish to the Holders of the Residual Certificates the Form 1066
and each Form 1066Q for the applicable REMIC and shall respond promptly to
written requests made not more frequently than quarterly by any Holder of
Residual Certificates with respect to the following matters:

                  (i) The original projected principal and interest cash flows
         on the Closing Date on each class of regular and residual interests
         created hereunder and on the Mortgage Loans, based on [___]% and [___]%
         of the applicable Prepayment Assumption in the case of the fixed rate
         and adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, respectively;

                  (ii) The projected remaining principal and interest cash flows
         as of the end of any calendar quarter with respect to each class of
         regular and residual interests created hereunder and the Mortgage
         Loans, based on [___]% and [___]% of the applicable Prepayment
         Assumption in the case of the fixed rate and adjustable rate Mortgage
         Loans, respectively;

                  (iii) The applicable percentage of the Prepayment Assumption
         and any interest rate assumptions used in determining the projected
         principal and interest cash flows described above;

                  (iv) The original issue discount (or, in the case of the
         Mortgage Loans, market discount) or premium accrued or amortized
         through the end of such calendar quarter with respect to each class of
         regular or residual interests created hereunder and with respect to the
         Mortgage Loans, together with each constant yield to maturity used in
         computing the same;

                  (v) The treatment of losses realized with respect to the
         Mortgage Loans or the regular interests created hereunder, including
         the timing and amount of any cancellation of indebtedness income of
         each REMIC with respect to such regular interests or bad debt
         deductions claimed with respect to the Mortgage Loans;

                  (vi) The amount and timing of any non-interest expenses of
         each REMIC; and

                  (vii) Any taxes (including penalties and interest) imposed on
         each REMIC, including, without limitation, taxes on "prohibited
         transactions," "contributions" or "net income from foreclosure
         property" or state or local income or franchise taxes.

         In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
the Trust as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of a REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contribution to the Trust after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d)
of the Code, or any other tax (other than any minimum tax imposed by Section
24874 and 23153 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code) is imposed, such
tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from
a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Tax Matters Person, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Tax Matters Person of any of the obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the
Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of
any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) otherwise the Holders of the
applicable Residual Certificates in proportion to their Percentage Interests. To
the extent any tax is chargeable against the Holders of the Residual
Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to
the Holders of the applicable Residual Certificates on any Distribution Date
sufficient funds to reimburse the Trustee for the payment of such tax (to the
extent that the Trustee has not been previously reimbursed or indemnified
therefor).

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

         The Trustee shall not engage in a "prohibited transaction" (as defined
in Code Section 860F(a)(2)), except that, with the prior written consent of the
Seller, the Trustee may engage in the activities otherwise prohibited by the
foregoing clauses (b), (c) and (d), provided that the Seller shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
transaction will not result in the imposition of a contribution or prohibited
transaction tax on the Trust and will not disqualify any REMIC from treatment as
a REMIC; and provided that the Seller shall have demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Trustee that such action will not adversely affect the
rights of the holders of the Certificates and the Trustee and that such action
will not adversely impact the rating of the Offered Certificates.

         (g) Except as provided below, the Tax Matters Person shall pay out of
its own funds, without any right of reimbursement, any and all tax related
expenses of the Trust (including, but not limited to, tax return preparation and
filing expenses and any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust that involve
the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense
of obtaining any Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Sections 2.05, 3.06 and
10.02 and other than taxes except as specified herein. The Trustee and the Tax
Matters Person shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any professional fees or
expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings that do
not result from any breach of their respective duties hereunder.

         (h) On behalf of each REMIC, the Trustee, Servicer or Tax Matters
Person, as applicable, shall do the following:

                  (i) the Tax Matters Person shall prepare, sign and file, or
         cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate
         Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and any other
         Tax Return required to be filed by each REMIC, using a calendar year as
         the taxable year for each REMIC;

                  (ii) the Tax Matters Person shall make, or cause to be made,
         an election, on behalf of each REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on the
         federal tax return of each REMIC for its first taxable year;

                  (iii) the Tax Matters Person shall prepare and forward, or
         cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Servicer, the Seller, the
         Trustee (which, subject to receipt thereof shall forward to the
         Certificateholders) and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other
         relevant governmental taxing authority all information returns or
         reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with
         the REMIC Provisions;

                  (iv) the Trustee, the Tax Matters Person and the Servicer
         shall to the extent that the affairs of any REMIC are within its
         control, conduct such affairs of each REMIC at all times that any
         Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC
         as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal,
         state and local laws, including, without limitation with respect to the
         Trustee, information reports relating to "original issue discount," as
         defined in the Code, based upon [___]% of the applicable Prepayment
         Assumption for fixed rate Mortgage Loans and [___]% of the applicable
         Prepayment Assumption for adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, calculated by
         using the issue price of the Certificates;

                  (v) the Trustee, the Servicer and Tax Matters Person shall not
         knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action
         that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC;

                  (vi) the Trustee shall pay the amount of any and all federal,
         state and local taxes upon the Trustee or the Certificateholders in
         connection with the Trust or the Mortgage Loans, prohibited transaction
         taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, other than any amount due
         as a result of a transfer or attempted or purported transfer in
         violation of Section 6.02, imposed on the Trust when and as the same
         shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the
         Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
         appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
         withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the
         outcome of such proceedings). The Trustee shall be entitled to
         reimbursement for all such amounts in accordance with Section 2.12;

                  (vii) the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall ensure that
         any such returns or reports filed on behalf of the Trust are properly
         executed by the appropriate person;

                  (viii) the Tax Matters Person shall represent the Trust in any
         administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or
         audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative
         adjustment as to any taxable year of the Trust, enter into settlement
         agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of
         limitations relating to any item of the Trust and otherwise act on
         behalf of the Trust in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust;

                  (ix) the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall as provided
         in Section 6.02, make available information necessary for the
         computation of any tax imposed (1) on transferors of residual interests
         to transferees that are not Permitted Transferees or (2) on
         pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by an entity which
         is not a Permitted Transferee;

                  (x) the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person 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 not a Permitted Transferee,
         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
         that is not a Permitted Transferee. Reasonable compensation for
         providing such information may be accepted by the Trustee; and

                  (xi) the Trustee, the Servicer and the Tax Matters Person
         shall cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing
         obligations, including signing any Tax Returns to the extent required
         by law.

         Section 2.13. Subsequent Transfers.

         (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
paragraph (b) below and pursuant to the terms of each Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, in consideration of the Trustee's delivery, on behalf of the Trust,
on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of
the purchase price therefor, the Seller shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date
sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the
Trust, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
including (i) the related Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date after
giving effect to payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date; (ii)
all collections in respect of interest and principal received after the related
Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest due on or before such Cut-off
Date); (iii) property which secured such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and which has
been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) its interest
in any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loan; and (v)
all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The transfer by the Seller of the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans set forth on the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule to
the Trust shall be absolute and shall be intended by the Seller and all parties
hereto to be treated as a sale by the Seller to the Trust. If the assignment and
transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this Section
2.13 from the Seller to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed
not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, the
Seller intends that the rights and obligations of the parties shall be
established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i)
the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as
of such Subsequent Transfer Date a first priority security interest in the
entire right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans and all other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.13
and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. The purchase price shall be one hundred percent
(100%) of the Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the
related Cut-Off Date. On or before each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller
shall deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, the Related Documents with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan
transferred on such Subsequent Transfer Date, and the related Subsequent
Mortgage Loan Schedule in computer readable format with respect to such
Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

         (b) The Seller shall transfer and deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other
property and rights related thereto described in paragraph (a) above only upon
the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date:

         Subsequent Transfer Date and shall designate the Subsequent Mortgage
         Loans to be sold to the Trust and the aggregate Principal Balance of
         such Mortgage Loans and the Rating Agencies shall not have informed the
         Seller or the Trustee prior to the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date
         that the inclusion of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans would result in
         the downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Offered
         Certificates without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy;

                  (ii) The Seller shall have delivered to the Depositor, Trustee
         and the Servicer a duly executed Subsequent Transfer Agreement in
         substantially the form of Exhibit D;

                  (iii) The Seller shall have delivered to the Servicer for
         deposit in the Collection Account all principal collected and interest
         collected to the extent accrued and due after the related Cut-off Date;

                  (iv) As of each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller was not
         insolvent nor will the Seller be made insolvent by such transfer nor is
         the Seller aware of any pending insolvency;

                  (v) Such addition will not result in a material adverse tax
         consequence to any REMIC or the Holders of the Certificates;

                  (vi) The Funding Period shall not have terminated;

                  (vii) The Seller shall have provided the Depositor, Trustee,
         the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies with an Opinion of
         Counsel relating to the sale (i.e., "True Sale Opinion") of the
         Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the enforceability of the
         Subsequent Transfer Agreement and to the effect that the transfer of
         such Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not adversely affect the status of
         any REMIC as a REMIC which matters may be covered in the opinions
         delivered on the Closing Date;

                  (viii) The aggregate Principal Balance of Subsequent Mortgage
         Loans in Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2 does not exceed the Original
         Pre-Funded Amount allocated to the applicable Loan Group;

                  (ix) The conditions specified in Exhibit Q hereto shall be
         met; and

                  (x) On the last Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
         have received an accountant's letter confirming that the
         characteristics of the Mortgage Loans (including the Subsequent
         Mortgage Loans), satisfy the parameters set forth in Exhibit Q hereto.

         (c) The Seller, the Custodian and the Trustee shall comply with their
respective obligations set forth in Section 2.01, 2.02, 2.04 and 2.05 with
respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans delivered on each Subsequent Transfer
Date. References in such Sections to the Initial Mortgage Loans or Mortgage
Loans shall be deemed to refer to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and references
to the Closing Date shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Subsequent
Transfer Date except that references to 360 days after the Closing Date shall
remain unchanged as shall representations made with specific reference to the
Initial Mortgage Loans.

                 Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

         Section 3.01. The Servicer.

         (a) It is intended that the Trust formed hereunder shall constitute,
and that the affairs of the Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify each REMIC
as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intentions, the
Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not knowingly or intentionally take
any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the
REMIC status of any REMIC.

         (b) The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The
Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and
administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is in compliance
with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations
under such Subservicing Agreement and (ii) is an Approved Servicer or is an
affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the
appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer
shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly
service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a
successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

         (c) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received
such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.

         (d) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set
forth in Section 3.01(e). The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed
by it to any Subservicer irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

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

         (f) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the 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 in the Servicer's good faith determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the interests of the Certificateholders, provided, however, that (unless (x) the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is,
in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent and (y) such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence would not cause any REMIC to be disqualified or
otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on any REMIC) the Servicer may not permit
any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Loan
Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in
connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan) or extend the
final maturity date on the Mortgage Loan. No costs incurred by the Servicer or
any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall, for the purposes of
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
related Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver on behalf of the Trustee and each Certificateholder, all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.

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

                                      -62-

         (g) Within ninety (90) days after such time as the Trustee receives the
resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to resignation pursuant to
Section 7.04, after receipt by the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required
pursuant to Section 7.04, the Successor Servicer shall assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer, subject to Section 8.02; provided that if the
Servicer is removed pursuant to Section 8.02, the Successor Servicer shall
immediately be obligated to make Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances as
required in this Agreement. The Servicer shall, upon request of the Successor
Servicer but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the Successor Servicer
all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by the Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations to
the assuming party who shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Servicer (or,
to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the Trust pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(16) for Servicing Transfer Costs.

         (h) The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the
Trustee on or before the Closing Date.

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

         Section 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

         (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans in its
servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the
foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
may in its discretion (i) waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or
any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course
of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for
the payment of interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is
consistent with the Servicer's policies with respect to the mortgage loans it
owns or services; provided, further, that notwithstanding such arrangement such
Mortgage Loans will be included in the monthly information delivered by the
Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03.

         (b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate trust account
(the "Collection Account") titled "[________________________________________]"
The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. On the Closing Date, the
Seller shall cause to be deposited in the Collection Account any amounts
representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans
received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest
accrued and due on or prior to [_________] [___], [____]) and prior to the
Closing Date. The Servicer shall deposit within two (2) Business Days, following
receipt thereof the following payments and collections received or made by it
(without duplication):

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

                  (i) all payments received after the related Cut-Off Date on
         account of principal on the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments in
         respect of principal on the Mortgage Loans which were due on or prior
         to the related Cut-off Date) and all Principal Prepayments and
         Curtailments collected after the related Cut-Off Date;

                  (ii) all payments received after the related Cut-Off Date on
         account of interest on the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments in
         respect of interest on the Mortgage Loans which have accrued and were
         due on or prior to the related Cut-Off Date);

                  (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds net of Foreclosure Profits;

                  (iv) all Insurance Proceeds other than any portion thereof
         constituting Net Liquidation Proceeds;

                  (v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;

                  (vi) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of
         any Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment
         pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.06 and 3.16; and

                  (vii) any amount required to be deposited in the Collection
         Account pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 5.02 or 5.05.

provided, however, that, with respect to each Due Period, the Servicer shall be
permitted to retain (x) from payments in respect of interest on a Mortgage Loan,
the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan and (y) from payments from Mortgagors,
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Released Mortgaged Property
Proceeds, any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances related
thereto. The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection
Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account
amounts representing Servicing Compensation or amounts received by the Servicer
for the accounts of Mortgagors for application toward the payment of taxes,
insurance premiums, assessments and similar items.

         The Servicer may cause the institution maintaining the Collection
Account to invest any funds in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments
(including obligations of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if such
obligations otherwise qualify as Eligible Investments) pursuant to Section 5.05.

         Section 3.03. Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Servicer
shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn funds from the Collection Account for
the following purposes:

                  (i) before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (x) the third
         Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, to withdraw the lesser
         of the Available Funds then in the Collection Account and an amount
         equal to the Guaranteed Distributions for such Distribution Date and
         (y) on the related Deposit Date to withdraw the remaining Available
         Funds, and, in each case, remit such funds to the Trustee for deposit
         to the Distribution Account;

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any accrued unpaid
         Servicing Compensation which the Servicer would not have been required
         to deposit in the Collection Account and for unreimbursed Monthly
         Advances and Servicing Advances. The Servicer's right to reimbursement
         for unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances shall be
         limited to late collections on the related Mortgage Loan, including
         Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, Insurance
         Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer
         from the related Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan
         in respect of which such reimbursed amounts are owed. The Servicer's
         right to reimbursement for unreimbursed Monthly Advances shall be
         limited to late collections on any Mortgage Loan and to Liquidation
         Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and
         any purchase or repurchase proceeds on related Mortgage Loans;

                  (iii) to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is
         recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a
         trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in
         accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having
         competent jurisdiction;

                  (iv) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account
         that were not required to be deposited therein (such as Servicing
         Compensation) or were deposited therein in error and to pay such funds
         to the appropriate Person;

                  (v) to withdraw funds necessary for the conservation and
         disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.06 to the extent not
         advanced by the Servicer;

                  (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for Nonrecoverable Advances;

                  (vii) to pay to the Seller collections received in respect of
         accrued interest and principal on the Mortgage Loans due on or before
         the related Cut-Off Date;

                  (viii) to pay to the Servicer or the Trustee the portion of
         any Purchase Price in respect of clause (iv) of the definition thereof
         or of any Substitution Adjustment in respect of clause (d) of the
         definition thereof to the extent paid in respect of amounts incurred by
         or imposed on the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be;

                  (ix) to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by it in
         connection with the Mortgage Loans or Certificates and reimbursable
         pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof provided that such amount shall only be
         withdrawn following the withdrawal from the Collection Account for
         deposit into the Distribution Account pursuant to clause (i)(y) above;
         and

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

                  (x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
         termination of this Agreement and to pay any amounts remaining therein
         to the applicable Class [R] Certificateholders.

         Section 3.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire
and hazard insurance naming the Servicer as loss payee thereunder providing
extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from
time to time, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan
and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. The
Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in
lieu of foreclosure hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which
is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to
time of the improvements which are a part of such property, (ii) the combined
principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to
such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount required to compensate for
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis at the time of such foreclosure, fire
and or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith
estimate of the Servicer of related Servicing Advances to be incurred in
connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section
3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally
designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related
Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance
is available and the Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in
accordance with accepted mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans
similar to the Mortgage Loans. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts
equal to the least of (A) the amount in clause (i) above, (B) the amount in
clause (ii) above and (C) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall be under no
obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional
insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such
additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage 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. The costs and expenses
incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall constitute
Servicing Advances.

         Section 3.05. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In
the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy rating of A:VIII or better in Best's Key Rating
Guide, then, to the extent such policy names the Servicer as loss payee and
provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance
on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the
requirements of Section 3.04, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have
satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage
under Section 3.04, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with Section 3.04, and there shall have been a loss which would have
been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference,
if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying
with Section 3.04 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the
request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee,
a certified true copy of such policy. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Certificateholders,
claims under any such policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of
such policy.

         Section 3.06. Management and Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt
disposition and sale; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of
any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.03 hereof). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the
related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.03 hereof. The Servicer
shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage,
conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it
manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own
account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as
the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and
may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.

         The Servicer shall cause to be deposited, no later than two (2)
Business Days after the receipt thereof, in the Collection Account, all revenues
received with respect to the related REO Property and shall retain, or cause the
Trustee to withdraw therefrom, funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing
agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

         The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer
for cash at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid out of the
proceeds of such sale. The cash proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be
promptly deposited in the Collection Account, net of Foreclosure Profits and of
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees
and unreimbursed Monthly Advances payable to the Servicer in accordance with
Section 3.03, for distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with
Section 5.01.

         The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to
ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into
and continue in default either when no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02 subject to the
provisions contained in the last paragraph of this Section 3.06.

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

         In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf of
Certificateholders.

         In the event any Mortgaged Property is acquired as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall (i) dispose of such Mortgaged Property within three (3) years
after the close of the taxable year in which the Mortgaged Property was acquired
(the "grace period") or (ii) prior to the expiration of any extension to such
grace period which is requested on behalf of the Trust by the Servicer (at the
expense of the Trust) more than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the grace
period and granted by the Internal Revenue Service, unless the Trust shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding of such Mortgaged
Property subsequent to expiration of the grace period will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Regular Certificates are outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, (i) no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Servicer pursuant to
this Section 3.06 shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust and
(ii) no construction shall take place on such Mortgaged Property in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms, in either case, that would cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust of any "net
income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation within the
meaning of Sections 860G(c) and 857(b)(4)(B) of the Code. If a period greater
than the grace period is permitted under this Agreement and is necessary to sell
any REO Property, the Servicer shall give appropriate notice to the Trustee and
shall report monthly to the Trustee as to the progress being made in selling
such REO Property.
         If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which
the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental
or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property. Nothing in this Section 3.06
shall affect the Servicer's right to deem certain advances proposed to be made
Nonrecoverable Advances. For the purpose of this Section 3.06, actual knowledge
of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan. Actual knowledge of the
Servicer does not include knowledge imputable by virtue of the availability of
or accessibility to information relating to environmental or hazardous waste
sites or the locations thereof.

         Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.06 or any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan that is more
than 89 days delinquent as of the Closing Date (hereafter a "Foreclosure
Restricted Mortgage Loan") comes into and continues in default, the Servicer
will nevertheless not complete foreclosure upon, accept a deed in-lieu of
foreclosure of, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any property
securing such Foreclosure Restricted Mortgage Loan (hereafter, "Foreclosure
Restricted Property") if the value of such Foreclosure Restricted Property
(measured in all cases as the outstanding principal balance of the Foreclosure
Restricted Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest), when added to the value of all
other Foreclosure Restricted Property then held as part of the Trust, would
exceed 3/4 of one percent (0.75%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all
Mortgage Loans then held as part of the Trust. Moreover, if, as of the next
Distribution Date, the value of all Foreclosure Restricted Property held as part
of the Trust will exceed one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate Principal Balance
of all Mortgage Loans held as part of the Trust, then prior to such Distribution
Date, the Servicer will sell as much Foreclosure Restricted Property as
necessary so that as of such Distribution Date, the value of all Foreclosure
Restricted Property held as part of the Trust will be less than one percent
(1.00%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held as part of
the Trust.

         Section 3.07. Trustee to Cooperate. Upon any Principal Prepayment, the
Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in
Section 3.01(f), if the related Assignment of Mortgage has been recorded as
required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if
required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It
is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts
deposited in the Collection Account. If the Trustee or Custodian is holding the
Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or Custodian shall, upon request
of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian two (2) copies of a Request for
Release, one of which will be returned to the Servicer with the Mortgage File,
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit I, signed by a Servicing Officer or in a
mutually agreeable electronic format which originates from a Servicing Officer,
release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or Custodian
shall execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall be
necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other
servicing actions. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to
return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be,
when the need therefor by the 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 Trustee or Custodian to the Servicer.

         In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any
Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the related Assignment
of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall, if so
requested in writing by the Servicer, execute an appropriate assignment in the
form provided to the Trustee by the Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for
the purpose of collection to the Servicer (any such assignment shall
unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection
only) and, upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon
bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of
the Mortgage Loan and deposit or credit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive
of Foreclosure Profits, received with respect thereto in the Collection Account.
In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are
paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the assignee for
collection shall promptly reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and return
it to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

         Section 3.08. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by
Servicer. Subject to Section 5.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the
Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 3.02 as compensation for its services
in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, prepayment charges,
late payment charges or other receipts not required to be deposited in the
Collection Account, including, without limitation, Foreclosure Profits and,
subject to Section 5.05, investment income on the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account shall be additional servicing compensation and retained by
the Servicer. The 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 specifically provided herein.

         Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

         (a) The Servicer will deliver to the Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies, on or before May 31 of each year,
beginning May 31, [____], an Officer's Certificate stating that (i) a review of
the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its material obligations under this Agreement
throughout such fiscal 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. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller,
the Trustee and each Rating Agency upon any change in the basis on which its
fiscal year is determined.

         (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and each of the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge
thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written
notice by means of an Officer's Certificate of any event which, with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default.

         Section 3.10. Annual Servicing Review. Not later than May 31 of each
year, beginning May 31, [____], the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm
of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a letter or letters to the Seller, the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency to the effect that such
firm has, with respect to the Servicer's overall servicing operations, examined
such operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and stating such firm's conclusions
relating thereto.

         Section 3.11. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide to the Seller, the Trustee, the
Custodian, the Certificate Insurer, Certificateholders which are federally
insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift
Supervision access to the documentation in the Servicer's possession regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator of the SAIF or the BIF), such
access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section
3.11 shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
3.11 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 3.11.

         Section 3.12. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Insurance Policies. The
Servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i)
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees or agents. Each such policy or policies and
bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to time of Fannie
Mae for persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by Fannie Mae.

         Section 3.13. Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Within
fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, on behalf of
the Trust, cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (EDGAR), a Form 8-K with a copy
of the Remittance Report for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior
to January 30, 2002, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification
with respect to the Trust, if applicable. Prior to March 30, 2002, the Trustee
shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with
respect to the Trust. The Seller hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Seller. Such
power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the
Trustee from the Seller of written termination of such power of attorney and
(ii) the termination of the Trust. Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to
promptly furnish to the Trustee, 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 Trustee reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission

         Section 3.14. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged
Properties, Returns Relating to Mortgage Interest Received from Individuals and
Returns Relating to Cancellation of Indebtedness. The Servicer shall make
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property for each year
beginning in [____]. The Servicer shall file reports relating to each instance
occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Servicer (i) on behalf
of the Trust acquires an interest in any Mortgaged Property through foreclosure
or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage
Loan or (ii) knows or has reason to know that any Mortgaged Property has been
abandoned. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050J, 6050H
and 6050P of the Code.

         Section 3.15. Advances by the Servicer.

         (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Deposit Date related
to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account an amount to be distributed on the related
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01, equal to the Monthly Payment due on
each Mortgage Loan during the related Due Period, but not received as of the
related Determination Date (net of the Servicing Fee) such amount being defined
herein as the "Monthly Advance"; provided, however that if the amount of
Available Funds withdrawn from the Collection Account on the third Business Day
before such Distribution Date is less than the Guaranteed Distributions for such
Distribution Date, on such third Business Day the Servicer shall remit to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account such portion of the aggregate
Monthly Advance for the Distribution Date as shall be necessary to eliminate the
shortfall. With respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity
date, the Servicer will continue to make Monthly Advances with respect to such
Balloon Loan in an amount equal to one month's interest on the unpaid principal
balance at the applicable Loan Rate (net of the Servicing Fee) according to the
original amortization schedule for such Mortgage Loan. The obligation to make
Monthly Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall continue until such
Mortgage Loan becomes a Liquidated Mortgage Loan.

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

         (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Servicing
Advance or Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if the
Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance or Monthly Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and (ii) no Monthly Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required with respect to Civil Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.

         (c) All Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, including any
Nonrecoverable Advances shall be reimbursed on a first in, first out basis.

         (d) So long as the Servicer is [___________________________] or
otherwise has long-term debt rated at least investment grade by one of the
Rating Agencies, Monthly Advances may be made by the Servicer either (i) from
its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 3.15, used by the
Servicer in discharge of any such Monthly Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Monthly Advances to
be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately
reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in
the Collection Account on or before the next Deposit Date.

         Section 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written
notice sent to the Trustee) to purchase for its own account from the Trust any
Mortgage Loan which is ninety (90) days or more delinquent in the manner and at
the price specified in Section 2.02. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser
of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all
security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall
thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any
further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.

         Section 3.17. Superior Liens. The Servicer shall file (or cause to be
filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First
Lien for the protection of the Trustee's interest, where permitted by local law
and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be
named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such
junior lienholder's equity of redemption.

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

         If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has
accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien,
or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the
promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to
have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on
behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of
the Certificateholders and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage
Loan, subject to the application of the REMIC Provisions in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
such action or circumstances. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to
cure the default or reinstate the superior lien, if such advance is in the best
interests of the Certificateholders in accordance with the servicing standards
in Section 3.01. The Servicer shall not make such an advance except to the
extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the advance
would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan and
in no event in an amount that is greater than the Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is
necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

         Section 3.18. Assumption Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has been
or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent
it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its
right to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any
"due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the
"due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into
an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person shall become
liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law, the
Mortgagor shall remain liable thereon. The Servicer, in accordance with accepted
mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage
Loans, is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability whereby such
person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such
substitution or assumption agreement which original shall be added by the
Trustee 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. In connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18, the Servicer
shall not change the Loan Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the
payment of principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or
extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan.

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

         Section 3.19. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records
reflecting fire and hazard insurance coverage.

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

         With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer maintains
escrow accounts, the 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 primary
mortgage guaranty insurance premiums, if any, and fire and hazard insurance
coverage and 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 any escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated
by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the
terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow
payments, the Servicer shall, if it has received notice of a default or
deficiency, monitor such payments to determine if they are made by the
Mortgagor. The Servicer shall maintain a third-party (which may be an Affiliate
of the Servicer) tax monitoring service.

         Section 3.20. Advance Facility.

         (a) With the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer, the
Servicer is hereby authorized to enter in to a financing or other facility (any
such arrangement, an "Advance Facility") under which (1) the Servicer assigns or
pledges to another Person (an "Advancing Person") the Servicer's rights under
this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances
and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Monthly Advances
and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is
required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility; provided,
however, that the consent of the Trustee shall be required before the Servicer
may cause to be outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with
respect to Monthly Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect to
Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under
which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Monthly Advances and/or Servicing
Advances on the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant
to this Agreement to make Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to
and as required by this Agreement, and if Servicer enters into an Advance
Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive
reimbursement for any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 3.02(b), Section 3.03(ii) or Section 3.03(vi) of this
Agreement, but instead the Servicer shall be required to include amounts
collected that would otherwise be retained by the Servicer to reimburse it for
previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances ("Monthly Advance Reimbursement
Amounts") and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances ("Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts" and together with Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts,
"Reimbursement Amounts")(in each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement
Amount is included in the Advance Facility), in the remittance to the Trustee
made pursuant to Section 3.03(i) of this Agreement, to the extent of amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Monthly
Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be
included in "Available Funds" or distributed to Certificateholders. If the
Servicer makes a remittance to the Trustee of Reimbursement Amounts under
Section 3.03(i) as described above, the Servicer shall report to the Trustee the
portions of such remittance that consist of Available Funds, Monthly Advance
Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

         (b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and
the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and
payment instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with
written payment instructions as to where to remit Monthly Advance Reimbursement
Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such
type of Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on
subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the
applicable Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to
a trustee or custodian (an "Advance Facility Trustee") designated in the Advance
Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint
written direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any
related Advance Facility Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of
this Section 3.20 shall cease to be applicable when all Monthly Advances and
Servicing Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all Monthly Advances
and Servicing Advances the rights to be reimbursed for which have been assigned
or pledged to an Advancing Person, have been repaid to the related Advancing
Person in full.

         (c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage
Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in
accordance with Section 3.03(ii) or Section 3.03(vi) hereof, assuming the
Servicer had made the related Monthly Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from
funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to
Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.15. Neither the
Trustee nor the Certificate Insurer shall have any duty or liability with
respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to
rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the
Servicer's report of the amount of Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts and
Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance
from the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(i). The Servicer shall
maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and (upon request) the
Certificate Insurer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts
advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The
successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by
the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information.

         (d) An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the
rights to be reimbursed for Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or
whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Monthly Advances
and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for
qualification of a Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.01 hereof.

         (e) The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require
that Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be
allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances (as
the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in,
first-out" (FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require the Servicer to
provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan
information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee
to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date,
to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee for all Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances funded
by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have
not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

         (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Certificate Insurer is not and shall not be responsible to track or monitor
Reimbursement Amounts or any Advance Facility, and is not and shall not be
obligated to make any payment with respect to any Reimbursement Amount. The
Servicer who enters into an Advance Facility shall indemnify the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust and any successor resulting from any claim by
the related Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss,
liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or
willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or the
successor Servicer, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee to remit
funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to
act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, and the passage of any applicable
cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this Agreement occurs
or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement.

         (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.20, the
Servicer shall consult with the Certificate Insurer in determining the manner in
which any Advance Facility shall affect a successor Servicer before the Servicer
shall enter into an Advance Facility. Any amendment to this Section 3.20 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
3.20, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer without the
consent of any Certificateholder, but only with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or
elsewhere in this Agreement.

         Certificate Insurance Policy, Initial Interest Coverage Account
                            and Pre-Funding Account

         Section 4.01. Certificate Insurance Policy. As soon as possible, and in
no event later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the second Business Day
immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the
amount of Available Funds for such Distribution Date minus the amount of any
Premium Amount and any Trustee Fee to be paid on such Distribution Date.

         If for any Distribution Date a Deficiency Amount exists, the Trustee
shall complete a notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Certificate
Insurance Policy (the "Notice") and shall submit such Notice to the Fiscal Agent
no later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the second Business Day preceding
such Distribution Date. The Notice shall constitute a claim for an Insured
Payment pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the
Insured Payment, at or prior to the latest time payments of the Insured Payment
are to be made by the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the Certificate Insurance
Policy, on behalf of the Senior Certificateholders, the Trustee shall deposit
such Insured Payments in the Distribution Account and shall distribute such
Insured Payments only in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(2) and 5.01(a)(4), if
applicable.

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

         The Trustee shall receive, as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a
Senior Certificate, any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer and
disburse the same to each Holder of a Senior Certificate in accordance with the
provisions of Article V. Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds
of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust
nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the Trust with respect to
such Senior Certificate, and the Certificate Insurer shall become the owner of
such unpaid amounts due from the Trust in respect of such Insured Payments as
the deemed assignee of such Holder and shall be entitled to receive the
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(5). The Trustee hereby agrees
on behalf of each Holder of a Senior Certificate for the benefit of the
Certificate Insurer that it and they recognize that to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Trustee), to the Senior Certificateholders, the Certificate
Insurer will be entitled to receive the Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(5).

         It is understood and agreed that the intention of the parties is that
the Certificate Insurer shall not be entitled to reimbursement on any
Distribution Date for amounts previously paid by it unless on such Distribution
Date the Senior Certificateholders shall also have received the full amount of
the Guaranteed Distributions for such Distribution Date.

         Section 4.02. Initial Interest Coverage Account and Pre-Funding
Account.

         (a) The Trustee has heretofore established or caused to be established
and shall hereafter maintain or cause to be maintained a separate account
denominated the Initial Interest Coverage Account, which is and shall continue
to be an Eligible Account in the name of the Trustee and shall be designated
"[______________________________]". The Initial Interest Coverage Account shall
be treated as an "outside reserve fund" under applicable Treasury regulations
and will not be part of any REMIC. Any investment earnings on the Initial
Interest Coverage Account will be treated as owned by the Seller and will be
taxable to the Seller. The amount on deposit in the Initial Interest Coverage
Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.05.

         The Trustee has heretofore established or caused to be established and
shall hereafter maintain or cause to be maintained a separate account
denominated the Pre-Funding Account, which is and shall continue to be an
Eligible Account in the name of the Trustee and shall be designated
"___________________________________." The Pre-Funding Account shall be treated
as an "outside reserve fund" under applicable Treasury regulations and will not
be part of any REMIC. Any Pre-Funding Earnings will be deposited into the
Initial Interest Coverage Account on each Pre-Funding Distribution Date;
provided, however, that if the final Subsequent Transfer Date occurs after the
Distribution Date in a month, on such Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee
shall (i) transfer the Excess Funding Amount from the Pre-Funding Account to the
Distribution Account, (ii) transfer the Pre-Funding Earnings to the Initial
Interest Coverage Account and (iii) close the Pre-Funding Account. The amount on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments at
the direction of the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.05.
All investment earnings on funds on deposit in the Initial Interest Coverage
Account and the Pre-Funding Account will be treated as owned by, and will be
taxable to, the Seller.

         (b) On the Closing Date, the Depositor will cause to be deposited the
Original Capitalized Interest Deposit into the Initial Interest Coverage Account
from the sale of the Offered Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Depositor
will cause to be deposited the Pre-Funded Amount in the Pre-Funding Account from
the sale of the Offered Certificates.

         (c) On each Pre-Funding Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer
from the Initial Interest Coverage Account to the Distribution Account the
Capitalized Interest Requirement, if any, for such Distribution Date; provided,
however, that on the final Subsequent Transfer Date the Trustee shall (i)
transfer the Capitalized Interest Requirement, if any, for the following
Distribution Date from the Initial Interest Coverage Account to the Distribution
Account, (ii) remit the balance of the funds on deposit in the Initial Interest
Coverage Account to the Seller and (iii) close the Initial Interest Coverage
Account.

         (d) On each Subsequent Transfer Date, (i) the Seller shall instruct the
Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the
aggregate Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans sold to the Trust
on such Subsequent Transfer Date, (ii) the Trustee shall withdraw the Overfunded
Amount, if any, from the Initial Interest Coverage Account and (iii) the Trustee
shall pay such amounts to or upon the order of the Seller, as designee of the
Depositor, with respect to such transfer.

         (e) If at the end of the Funding Period amounts still remain in the
Pre-Funding Account, the Seller shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw such
amounts from the Pre-Funding Account on the immediately following Distribution
Date and deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account.

         (f) Unless sooner closed as provided above, the Initial Interest
Coverage Account and Pre-Funding Account shall be closed at the close of
business on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding
Period. All amounts, if any, remaining in the Initial Interest Coverage Account

         Section 4.03. Claims Upon the Certificate Insurance Policy.

         (a) The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of the Certificate
Insurance Policy with respect to claims upon the Certificate Insurance Policy.

         (b) At the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account for the benefit
of Holders of the Senior Certificates referred to herein as the "Policy Payments
Account" and over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right
of withdrawal. The Trustee shall deposit any Insured Payment made under the
Certificate Insurance Policy in the Policy Payments Account and thereafter into
the Distribution Account for distribution of such amount only for purposes of
payment to Holders of the Senior Certificates of Guaranteed Distributions for
the Senior Certificates for which a claim was made and such amount may not be
applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trustee or the
Trust. Insured Payments made under the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be
disbursed by the Trustee to Senior Certificateholders in the same manner as
distributions on the Senior Certificates are made under Section 5.01. It shall
not be necessary for such distributions to be made by checks or wire transfers
separate from the check or wire transfer used to pay Guaranteed Distributions
with other funds available to make such distributions. However, the amount of
any Insured Payments made on the Senior Certificates to be paid from funds
transferred from the Policy Payments Account shall be noted in the Certificate
Register and in the statements to be furnished to Holders of the Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof. Funds held in the Policy Payments Account shall
not be invested by the Trustee.

         On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made
under the Certificate Insurance Policy, the amount of any Insured Payment
received by the Trustee as a result of any claim under the Certificate Insurance
Policy and which is required to make distributions on the Senior Certificates
equal to Guaranteed Distributions on the Senior Certificates on such
Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn from the Policy Payments, Account,
deposited into the Distribution Account and applied directly by the Trustee,
together with all other funds to be withdrawn from the Distribution Account, to
the payment in full of Guaranteed Distributions on the Senior Certificates. Any
funds remaining in the Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day
following a Distribution Date shall be remitted in immediately available funds
to the Certificate Insurer, pursuant to the instructions of the Certificate
Insurer, by the end of such Business Day. The Trustee shall keep a complete and
accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of any
Senior Certificate from moneys received under the Certificate Insurance Policy.
The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written
notice to the Trustee.

         (c) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of any
proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential
transfer under the Bankruptcy Code (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution
made with respect to the Senior Certificates. Each Certificateholder of Senior
Certificates, by its purchase of Senior Certificates, the Depositor, the Seller,
the Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long
as no Certificate Insurer Default 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 such Preference Claim and (ii)
the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such
appeal.

by the Servicer from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 for deposit
to the Distribution Account. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may
be invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 5.05.

         Section 5.05. Investment of Accounts.

         (a) Consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a portion of
any Account held by the Trustee shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee,
as directed in writing by the Servicer (in the case of the Distribution Account)
or the Seller (in the case of any other Account) (the applicable Person, the
"Directing Party"), in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold
at a discount. If the applicable Directing Party does not provide investment
directions, or if the Directing Party is the Servicer and an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing the Trustee shall invest all Accounts in
Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the definition of Eligible
Investments. No such investment in any Account shall mature later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date (except that for
any such Account other than the Distribution Account (i) if such Eligible
Investment is an obligation of the Trustee or a money market fund for which the
Trustee or any Affiliate is the manager or the advisor, then such Eligible
Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date and (ii) any other
date may be approved by the Rating Agencies).

         (b) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by
the Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such
disbursement, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash
a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom unless the
Trustee's failure to perform in accordance with this Section 5.05 is the cause
of such loss or charge.

         (c) Subject to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall not in any way be held
liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee
resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein
(except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon
or as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.05).

         (d) The Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held by
the Trustee, to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the applicable
Directing Party shall from time to time direct as set forth in Section 5.05(a),
but only in one or more Eligible Investments.

         (e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all
earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit
of the Servicer as Servicing Compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee),
and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the
month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income
and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss, without any right to
reimbursement therefore from its own funds.

         (f) All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all
earnings on, funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the
benefit of (x) the Servicer for the period from the date of deposit to the
Deposit Date, as Servicing Compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee and (y)
the Trustee for the period from the Deposit Date to the Distribution Date, as
compensation (in addition to the Trustee Fee). Any such income shall be subject
to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the
month in which such income or gain is received. The Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess
of the income and gain thereon payable to the Servicer or the Trustee, as the
case may be, immediately upon the realization of such loss, without any right to
reimbursement therefore from its own funds.

         Section 5.06. Allocation of Losses. On each Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall determine the total of the Applied Realized Loss Amounts for such
Distribution Date. The Applied Realized Loss Amount for any Distribution Date
shall be applied by reducing the Class Principal Balance of each Class of
Subordinate Certificates beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates
then outstanding with the lowest relative payment priority, in each case until
the respective Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero. Any Applied
Realized Loss Amount allocated to a Class of Subordinate Certificates shall be
allocated among the Subordinate Certificates of such Class in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests.

         Section 5.07. [Reserved].

         Section 5.08. Net Rate Cap Fund.

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in
its name, in trust for the benefit of the Offered Certificates, other than the
Class IO Certificates, the Net Rate Cap Fund and deposit therein the amount of
$5,000 paid to the Trustee by the Seller therefor. The Net Rate Cap Fund shall
be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including
without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
The Net Rate Cap Fund shall be treated as an "outside reserve fund" under
applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any REMIC. Any
investment earnings on the Net Rate Cap Fund will be treated as owned by the
Class BIO Certificateholder and will be taxable to the Class BIO
Certificateholder. Distributions made or deemed deposited to any outside reserve
fund under this Agreement shall be treated as made to the owner of such fund.
The Trustee shall treat the Net Rate Cap Fund as having a nominal (zero) value
for the Holders of the Offered Certificates.

                                      -87-
<PAGE>

         (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit amounts from
the Distribution Account to the Net Rate Cap Fund pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(13). The amount required to be deposited into the Net Rate Cap Fund on
any Distribution Date (the "Net Rate Cap Fund Deposit") will equal the lesser of
(i) amounts remaining after distributions pursuant to clauses (1) through (12)
of Section 5.01(a) and (ii) any Net Rate Cap Carryover for such Distribution
Date or, if no Net Rate Cap Carryover is payable on such Distribution Date, an
amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Net Rate
Cap Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein will be equal to $10,000. The
Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Net Rate Cap Fund to make distributions
pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(14) hereof.

         (c) Funds in the Net Rate Cap Fund may be invested in Eligible
Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the Class BIO
Certificates. The Class BIO Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Net
Rate Cap Fund for federal tax purposes and shall direct the Trustee in writing
as to the investment of amounts therein.

         (d) Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Net
Rate Cap Fund shall be distributed to the Certificateholders of the Class BIO
Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(15) hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                The Certificates

         Section 6.01. The Certificates. Each of the Offered Certificates, the
Class BIO Certificates, and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in
the forms set forth in Exhibits A and B respectively, and shall, on original
issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the
order of the Seller concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of
the Trust. Each Class of Offered Certificates shall be initially evidenced by
one or more certificates representing a fraction of the applicable Original
Class Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, and shall be held in
minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, except that one of each Class of the Offered Certificate may be
in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all
outstanding Offered Certificates shall equal the aggregate Original Class
Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable. The Residual Certificates
and Class BIO Certificates shall be held in minimum Percentage Interests of 20%.

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

         Section 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

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

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

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

         (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership
and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

                                      -89-
<PAGE>

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

         (c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Seller advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Seller is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Seller, at its sole option elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Certificate Owners of each Class of
Offered Certificates representing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and
the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered
certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of each Class of Offered Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall at the Seller's expense, execute and authenticate the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer,
any Paying Agent, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the Seller shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

         (d) Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Class BIO
Certificates and the Residual Certificates by the Seller, no transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition of any Class BIO Certificates or any Residual
Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, other than the
transfer of the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest to the Trustee in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Seller
shall require either (i) a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, Depositor and the Seller that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the
1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Seller or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor
certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit M) and the
transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit N-1 or N-2) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Seller, Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Seller,
Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or
the Seller. The Holder of a Class BIO Certificates or a Residual Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Seller 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 an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
N-1 or Exhibit N-2, as appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not
an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of any
such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to
effect such transfer ("Benefit Plan Investor") or (ii) if an ERISA Restricted
Certificate which is an Offered Certificate is being purchased by an insurance
company, a representation that an insurance company is purchasing such
Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
95-60 ("PTCE 95-60") and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are
covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) if an ERISA Restricted
Certificate which is an Offered Certificate is purchased by a Benefit Plan
Investor, a representation that the Benefit Plan Investor understands that the
eligibility of the Certificates for purchase is conditioned upon such
Certificates being rated at least "BBB-" at the time of acquisition of such
Certificates by the Benefit Plan Investor or (iv) in the case of any ERISA
Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Benefit Plan
Investor, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust, addressed to
the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted
Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under ERISA and/or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in
addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the representation
required by clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above with respect to any ERISA Restricted
Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have been made
by the Certificate Owner by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of
such Certificate; and any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate
to or on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor pursuant to clause (iv) above without
the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
as described above shall be void and of no effect.

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

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

                                      -91-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

                  (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
         Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of
         this Section 6.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no
         rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall,
         in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02, become a Holder of
         a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual
         Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that
         the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in
         fact permitted by this Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as
         Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of
         such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to
         any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate
         that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any
         distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or
         taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
         provisions of the Agreement so long as the Trustee received the
         documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to
         recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not
         a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all
         distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions
         so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the
         Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a
         Permitted Transferee.

                  (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
         any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
         restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee shall have the
         right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such
         Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
         therein, to notify the Seller to arrange for the sale of such Residual
         Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may
         include commissions payable to the Seller or its Affiliates in
         connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
         remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual
         Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event
         that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual
         Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section 6.02 or
         any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a
         corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim.
         The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be
         determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and it shall not be
         liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
         Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

<PAGE>

                  (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
         any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
         restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee, based on
         information provided to the Trustee by the Seller will provide to the
         Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections
         860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax
         imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual
         interests to disqualified organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.02(d) shall cease to apply to
transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i)
written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 6.02 will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC.

         Each Tax Matters Person Residual Interest shall at all times be
registered in the name of the Tax Matters Person.

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

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

         Section 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Seller and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence
of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 6.03, shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

         Section 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Servicer, the Seller, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Insurer, any
Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person, including a
Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Seller, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor
any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         Section 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.

         (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders
from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and shall report the
amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may
include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.03 and for the purpose of making the distributions
referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws
of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller.

         (b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all
requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of

                   The Seller, The Depositor and The Servicer

         Section 7.01. Liability of the Seller and the Servicer. The Seller, the
Depositor and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Seller
or Servicer, as the case may be, herein.

         Section 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer. Any corporation into
which the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Depositor or the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer,
as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall
satisfy all the requirements of Section 8.02 with respect to the qualifications
of a successor Servicer.

         Section 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller, the Depositor, the
Servicer and Others. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer nor any of
the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or
the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the
Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Seller or the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of
the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller
or the Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement or results from a breach of
representation by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer) and any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to its duties hereunder and that in its
opinion, may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust. The Servicer's
right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall survive
any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04 or 8.01
with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such
resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such
resignation or termination).

         Section 7.04. Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (a) the
Servicer has proposed an Approved Servicer to the Seller, the Depositor and the
Trustee in writing and such proposed Approved Servicer is reasonably acceptable
to the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee; and (b) each Rating Agency shall
have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the Approved
Servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such Approved Servicer as
Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current ratings of the Offered Certificates; provided, however, that no such
resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer
or, in the case of (i) above, the Successor Servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have
designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 8.02. Any such
resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 as obligations that survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.

         Section 7.05. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business,
the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person,
including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance
with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation
shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with
respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning
of Section 7.04. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with written notice
prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the
Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

         Section 7.06. Indemnification of the Trust by the Servicer.

         (a) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the
Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered
or sustained by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its activities in servicing or administering
the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened
action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer's misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the
Trust. The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

         (b) If the Servicer fails to make when due (without regard to any cure
period) any Monthly Advance or deposit required by it hereunder, the Servicer
shall pay the Trustee for the account of the Trustee interest at the prime rate
from the date on which such payment was due (without regard to any cure period)
to and including the date on which the Servicer makes such payment.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     Default

         Section 8.01. Events of Default.

         (a) If any one of the following events ("Events of Default") shall
occur and be continuing:

                  (i) (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Monthly
         Advance which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day
         after it was due; or (B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit
         in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account any deposit
         required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues
         unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after such deposit was
         due;

                                      -96-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) The failure by the Servicer to make any required
         Servicing Advance which failure continues unremedied for a period of
         sixty (60) days, or the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or
         perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or
         agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which
         failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the
         Certificateholders, without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy,
         continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days, after the date on
         which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
         remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to
         the Servicer and the Trustee, by any Holder with Certificates
         evidencing Voting Interests of at least [25]%; provided, however, that
         in the case of a -------- ------- failure that cannot be cured within
         sixty (60) days, the cure period may be extended if the Servicer can
         demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and the
         Certificate Insurer that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial
         action;

                  (iii) The filing of a petition against the Servicer in a court
         or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises
         for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator
         in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, 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 unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30)
         consecutive days;

                  (iv) The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation,
         consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator
         or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling
         of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
         Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property,
         or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
         having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
         conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency,
         readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
         proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
         have been entered against the Servicer; or the Servicer shall admit in
         writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
         file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy
         insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
         benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its
         obligations; or

                  (v) the Servicer Termination Test is failed;

         (b) then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, (x) with respect solely to clause
(a)(i)(A) above, upon receipt of written notice or discovery by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of such failure, the Trustee shall give immediate
telephonic notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Servicer and the
Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
this Agreement and the Successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section
8.02, shall immediately make such Monthly Advance and assume, pursuant to
Section 8.02, the duties of a successor Servicer and (y) in the case of clause
(a)(i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) above, the Trustee shall, at the direction
of the Holders of Offered Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of all of
the Voting Rights by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to
the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency and the Seller. On or
after receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor
Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the
Successor Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and
related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Successor Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for the administration by it
of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer
and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited
by the predecessor Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by
the predecessor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All Servicing
Transfer Costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to
the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer
or, to the extent not paid by the predecessor Servicer, by the Trust pursuant to
Section 5.01(a)(16) (or, if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, by the
initial Servicer), upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs
and expenses. If the predecessor Servicer is required but fails to pay the
amounts specified in the preceding sentence and such amounts are paid by the
Trust, the Trustee shall, at the direction and expense of the Class BIO
Certificateholders, take appropriate action to enforce such obligation and
recover such amounts on behalf of such Class BIO Certificateholders.

         (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Servicer shall act
as Servicer under this Agreement, subject to the right of removal set forth in
subsection (b) hereof, for an initial period commencing on the date on which
such Event of Default occurred and ending on the last day of the calendar
quarter in which such Event of Default occurred, which period shall be extended
by the Trustee (an "Extension Notice") for a succeeding quarterly period ending
on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year (each such
quarterly period for which the Servicer shall be designated to act as Servicer
hereunder, a "Term of Service") until such time as the Trustee receives written
direction from the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 51% of the Voting
Rights not to deliver an Extension Notice, in which event the Trustee shall
follow such direction; provided that nothing in this clause (c) shall prohibit
the Trustee from removing (or prohibit Certificateholders from directing the
Trustee to remove) the Servicer pursuant to clause (b) above. In the event the
Trustee fails to deliver an Extension Notice prior to the end of any Term of
Service, the Servicer shall be automatically terminated.

         (d) If the Successor Servicer or another Person succeeds to the
obligations of Servicer hereunder, the term of the Successor Servicer or such
Person shall not be limited unless and until an Event of Default thereafter
occurs with respect to such Successor Servicer or other Person. At such time,
the provisions of Section 8.01 (c) and (d) shall become applicable to the
then-acting Servicer and the Person then-obligated to succeed such then-acting
Servicer.

         Section 8.02. Appointment of Successor.

                                      -98-
<PAGE>

         (a) The Depositor and the Trustee hereby appoint, and
[____________________________], hereby accepts appointment, on behalf of itself
or an affiliate, upon receipt by the Servicer of a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.01 or upon resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.04(i), to be the successor (the "Successor Servicer") in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession;
provided, however, that, without affecting the immediate termination of the
rights of the Servicer hereunder, it is understood and acknowledged by the
parties hereto that there will be a period of transition not to exceed 90 days
(the "Transition Period") before the servicing transfer is fully effected.

         During the Transition Period, neither the Successor Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it
cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances.

         As compensation therefor, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to
such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no
such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, if the
Successor Servicer is unwilling or legally unable to act as successor servicer,
the Trustee may appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other
mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than
$25,000,000 and that is an Approved Servicer as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the appointment of any
such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Offered Certificates by the Rating
Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless
the Successor Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, the Successor
Servicer shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on the Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to
Section 3.08 (or such lesser compensation as the Trustee and such successor
shall agree). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any
liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.05 or to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.06, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of
the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. The Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have no responsibility or
obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans or (ii)
for any acts or omissions of a predecessor Servicer during the Transition
Period. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

         (b) Any successor, including the Successor Servicer, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders
and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a
fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.

         Section 8.03. Waiver of Defaults. The Majority Certificateholders may,
on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, provided, however, that the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the
extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the
Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

         Section 8.04. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination
or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII or
Section 7.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register, the Certificate Insurer and to each Rating Agency.

         Section 8.05. Rights of the Certificate Insurer. By accepting its
Senior Certificate, each holder of a Senior Certificate agrees that unless a
Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to
be the holder of the Senior Certificates for all purposes (other than with
respect to payment on the Senior Certificates) and shall have the right to
exercise all rights of the Certificateholders of the Senior Certificates under
this Agreement and under each Class of Senior Certificates without any further
consent of the Certificateholders. In addition, each Certificateholder of a
Senior Certificate agrees that unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the
rights specifically enumerated in this Agreement may be exercised by the
Certificateholders of a Senior Certificate only with the prior written consent
of the Certificate Insurer.

         The Certificate Insurer may, in writing and in its sole discretion
renounce all or any of its rights under Section 8.05 or any requirement for the
Certificate Insurer's consent for any period of time.

         Section 8.06. Certificate Insurer Default. Notwithstanding anything
elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Certificates to the contrary, if a
Certificate Insurer Default exists, or if and to the extent the Certificate
Insurer has delivered its written renunciation of its rights, the provisions of
this Article VIII and all other provisions of this Agreement which (a) permit
the Certificate Insurer to exercise rights of the Certificateholders of the
Senior Certificates, (b) restrict the ability of the Certificateholders of the
Senior Certificates, to act without the consent or approval of the Certificate
Insurer, (c) provide that a particular act or thing must be acceptable to the
Certificate Insurer, (d) permit the Certificate Insurer to direct (or otherwise
to require) the actions of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificateholders,
(e) provide that any action or omission taken with the consent, approval or
authorization of the Certificate Insurer shall be authorized hereunder or shall
not subject the party taking or omitting to take such action to any liability
hereunder or (f) which have a similar effect, shall be of no further force and
effect and the Trustee shall administer the Trust and perform its obligations
hereunder solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates; provided,
however, that the Certificate Insurer's rights to consent to amendments, to
payments pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(5) and to receive reports and notices shall
not be affected by a Certificate Insurer Default and all other rights shall be
immediately reinstated following the cure of such Certificate Insurer Default.
Nothing in the foregoing sentence, nor any action taken pursuant thereto or in
compliance therewith, shall be deemed to have released the Certificate Insurer
from any obligation or liability it may have to any party or to the
Certificateholders of the Senior Certificates hereunder, under any other
agreement, instrument or document (including, without limitation, the
Certificate Insurance Policy) or under applicable law.

                                   The Trustee

         Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

         The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to be in the form specified in this Agreement, on its face, the Trustee
shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and
if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee
will, at the expense of the Seller, provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Seller, which expense shall
be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such
further action as directed by the Majority Certificateholders.

         The Trustee may, in accordance with its duties hereunder, do all things
necessary and proper as may be required in connection with any secondary
mortgage licensing laws and similar requirements, including, but not limited to,
consenting to jurisdiction, and the appointment of agents for service of
process, in jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located.

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

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

                                     -101-
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
         to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
         faith in accordance with the consent or direction of the Holders of
         Offered Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
         less than 51% relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
         proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or
         omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
         under this Agreement; and

                  (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
         failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer
         referred to in clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of Section 8.01 unless a
         Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
         obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
         written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Holders of
         Offered Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
         less than 51%. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit the
         effect of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01.

         The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the 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 Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

         Section 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

                  (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution,
         Officer's 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 written
         advice of such counsel or 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 advice or Opinion of Counsel;

                                     -102-
<PAGE>

                  (iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders 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; the right of the Trustee to perform
         any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
         construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other
         than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any
         such act; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee
         of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which
         has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
         conduct of his 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 an Event of Default and after
         the curing of all 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 documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the
         Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
         less than 51%; provided, however, that if the payment within a
         reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
         likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in
         the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by
         the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee
         may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or
         liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of
         every such examination shall be paid by the Seller or, if paid by the
         Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Seller upon demand. Nothing in this
         clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to
         observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
         regarding the Mortgagors;

                  (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
         liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
         hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may act as
         Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02;

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

                                     -103-
<PAGE>

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

         Section 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Certificate
Insurance Policy or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer or for the use or application of any funds paid to
the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from
the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this
Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard
insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the validity of the assignment of any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness
of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.02); the compliance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer with any
warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document
or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's
receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any
breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02), any
Subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02) or any
Subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer or any
Subservicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee
hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Trustee's duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to
Section 2.02. Until such time as the Trustee shall have become the Successor
Servicer, the Trustee shall have no responsibility to perfect or maintain the
perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

         Section 9.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact
any banking and trust business with the Seller or the Servicer.

<PAGE>

         Section 9.05. Trustee Fees and Expenses. The Trustee will be paid the
Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other amounts as agreed with the
Seller. The Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Insurance
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 which is the responsibility of Certificateholders
hereunder. In addition, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee
and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold it harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred
in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance
of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. To the extent that amounts payable to the
Trustee under this Section 9.05, other than the Trustee Fee, are not paid by the
Seller, such amounts shall be payable to the Trustee by the Trust pursuant to
Section 5.01(a)(16). This Section 9.05 shall survive termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.

         Section 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating
of "Baa3", and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation 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 combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07.

         Section 9.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and each Rating
Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee (approved in writing by the Servicer, so long as
such approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) by written instrument, in
duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and the Successor Trustee; provided, however, that any such successor
Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Servicer. If no
successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment
within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If at any time the Trustee 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 Seller or the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee
shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If the Seller, the
Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Seller shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor Trustee.

                                     -105-
<PAGE>

         The Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating over
50% of all Voting Rights may, at any time remove the Trustee by written
instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor
and the Trustee; and the Seller shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint
a successor trustee in accordance with this Section 9.07.

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

         Section 9.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller,
the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties
and obligations.

         No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.

         If a successor Trustee is to become the Successor Servicer hereunder,
it shall be an Approved Servicer. If a successor Trustee is not to become the
Successor Servicer hereunder, the entity then acting as Successor Servicer
hereunder shall continue to act in such capacity until such time as an Approved
Servicer has agreed to assume the role of Successor Servicer hereunder.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 9.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and to the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency.
If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within thirty (30) days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

         Section 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.

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

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

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

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

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

                                     -107-
<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 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 and a copy thereof given to the
Seller and the Servicer.

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

         Section 9.11. Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed by
the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust,
in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking
or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Trust.

         Section 9.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates; Inspection.

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

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

<PAGE>

         Section 9.13. Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default or
other default by the Servicer or the Seller hereunder shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

         Section 9.14. Appointment of Custodians. The Trustee may, with the
consent of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer (such consent to be
evidenced by their execution of a Custodial Agreement), 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. 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 $50,000,000
and a minimum long-term debt rating of "Baa3" and shall be qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File.

                                   Termination

         Section 10.01. Termination.

         (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor,
the Seller, the Servicer, the Custodian and the Trustee created hereby (other
than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to
Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the
Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
notice to the Trustee of the later of (x) the distribution to Certificateholders
of the final payment or collection with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or
Monthly Advances of same by the Servicer) and (y) the disposition of all funds
with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under
the Agreement and the payment of all amounts due and payable to the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last surviving descendant of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

         The Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any
Distribution Date on or after the Optional Termination Date, by purchasing, on
such Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
at a price equal to the sum of (w) 100% of the aggregate Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans plus (x) the lesser of (A) the appraised value of any REO
Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two
independent appraisers selected by the Servicer and at the Servicer's expense
and (B) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property
plus (y) in each case, the greater of (i) the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loans through the related Due Period and (ii)
thirty (30) days' accrued interest thereon at a rate equal to the Loan Rate, in
each case net of the Servicing Fee plus (z) any amounts due to the Certificate
Insurer under the Insurance Agreement (the "Termination Price").

                                     -109-
<PAGE>

         In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be
withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

         Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of
the Termination Price.

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

         (c) On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw from the
Distribution Account and remit to the Certificate Insurer the lesser of (x) the
amount available for distribution on such final Distribution Date, net of any
portion thereof necessary to pay Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 5.01
and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Certificate Insurer pursuant to
Section 5.01. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the holders of Certificates on the Distribution
Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of
their respective Certificates and to the extent that funds are available for
such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Distribution Date.

         (d) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all
funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders and the Servicer (if the Servicer has
exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other
case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution

         (a) In the event that the Servicer exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply
with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (1) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or (2) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Regular Certificates are outstanding:

                  (i) Within ninety (90) days prior to the final Distribution
         Date, the Servicer shall adopt and the Trustee shall sign a plan of

         "Qualified Liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any
         regulations thereunder;

                  (ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
         complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
         the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Servicer
         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 (A) to the Trustee, as holder of the REMIC I
         Regular Interests and REMIC II Regular Interests, the unpaid principal
         balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon, (B) to each Class of

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

         (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the

provisions or to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or the expectations of
Certificateholders, (iii) to add to the duties of the Servicer, (iv) to add any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement,
(v) to add or amend any provisions of this Agreement as required by any Rating
Agency or any other nationally recognized statistical rating agency in order to
maintain or improve any rating of each Class of Offered Certificates (it being

of the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, or the
Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any such rating), (vi) to
provide for gross deposits to the Collection Account by the Servicer or (vii) to
add or amend any provisions of this Agreement to such extent as shall be

requesting party) in each case such action shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interest of any Certificateholder, without regard to the
existence of the Certificate Insurance Policy, (y) in each case, such action is
necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC or
shall not adversely affect such qualification and (z) if the opinion called for
in clause (x) cannot be delivered with regard to an amendment pursuant to clause
(vii) above, such amendment is necessary to maintain the qualification of any
REMIC as a REMIC; and provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed
to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificateholders and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if

                                     -111-

         (b) This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the Seller,
the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee, subject, in the case of any
amendment or modification which affects any right, benefit, duty or obligation
of the Certificate Insurer or the Custodian, to the consent of the Certificate
Insurer or the Custodian, as applicable, with the consent of the Holders of each
Class of Certificates which is affected by such amendment, evidencing Voting
Rights aggregating not less than 51% of such Class (or in the case of an
amendment which affects all classes, not less than 51% of all of the Voting
Rights in the Trust), 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 Certificateholders; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay
the timing of, payments on the Certificates which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the

definition to the extent that the amendment of such definition would increase or
decrease the amounts or limits calculated or specified pursuant to any of the
definitions listed in clause (ii) above or otherwise affect the intended use of
any of the definitions listed in clause (ii) above; and (iv) Section 4.01, 4.03,
8.05, 11.01, 11.09, 11.12, 11.13, and 11.14 of this Agreement. In addition, if
the Trustee is acting as Servicer hereunder, any proposed amendment shall
require the consent of the Certificate Insurer.

         (d) Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in
connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall
furnish the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel stating whether such amendment
would adversely affect the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC and notice of
the conclusion expressed in such Opinion of Counsel shall be included with any
such solicitation. An amendment made with the consent of all Certificateholders
and executed in accordance with this Section 11.01 shall be permitted or
authorized by this Agreement notwithstanding that such Opinion of Counsel may
conclude that such amendment would adversely affect the qualification of any
REMIC as a REMIC.

         (e) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating
Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment made
with the consent of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and
the Certificate Insurer.

         (f) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

         (g) Notwithstanding the permissive language in Section 11.01(a) and
11.01(b), upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) as
applicable, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the applicable amendment;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to execute any
amendment which, based on an Opinion of Counsel, materially and adversely
affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee hereunder.

         Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement. 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
Trustee, but only upon direction of Certificateholders, accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of Certificateholders. The Certificateholders
requesting such recordation shall bear all costs and expenses of such
recordation. The Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether such
recordation so affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

         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, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any 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.

                                     -113-
<PAGE>

         No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
in Sections 8.01, 9.01, 9.02 and 11.01) or in any manner otherwise control the
operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

         No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Offered Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating
not less than 51% of all the Voting Interests shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee, hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee, such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (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; it being understood
and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder, the Trustee that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the 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 11.03, each and every Certificateholder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
