constituting the Trust Fund (other than the assets described in clauses (ii),
(iii), (iv) and (v) above, other than the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests and other
than the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests) and will be evidenced by the SWAP
REMIC Regular Interests (which will be uncertificated and will represent the
"regular interests" in the SWAP REMIC) and the Class SWR Interest as the single

REMIC Regular Interests and will be evidenced by the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests (which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular
interests" in the Lower Tier REMIC) and the Class LTR Interest as the single
"residual interest" in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests. The Upper Tier REMIC will consist of the Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests and will be evidenced by the REMIC Regular
Interests (which will represent the "regular interests" in the Upper Tier REMIC)
and the Residual Interest as the single "residual interest" in the Upper Tier
REMIC. The Class R Certificate will represent beneficial ownership of the Class
SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest and the Residual Interest. The "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

     All covenants and agreements made by the Sponsor in the Sale Agreement and

     its Corresponding Certificates.

(2)  The initial principal balance of the Class LTIX Interest shall equal the
     excess of (i) 50% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the
     Mortgage Loans over (ii) the initial principal balance of the Lower Tier
     REMIC I Marker Interests.

     REMIC II Marker Interests.

(8)  For each Distribution Date, the interest rate for each of the Lower Tier
     REMIC Regular Interests (other than the Class LTII1B, the Class LTII2B and
     the Class LT-IO Interests) shall be a per annum rate (but not less than
     zero) equal to the product of (i) the weighted average of the interest
     rates on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests for such Distribution Date and
     (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is 30 and the denominator of which
     is the actual number of days in the Accrual Period for the LIBOR
     Certificates, provided however, that for any Distribution Date on which the
     Class LT-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of interest accruals on a
     SWAP REMIC Regular Interest

<PAGE>

     ending with a designation "A" as described in footnote 11 below, such
     weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such
     SWAP REMIC Regular Interest to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such
     Distribution Date.

(9)  For each Distribution Date, the interest rate for the Class LTII1B Interest
     shall be a per annum rate equal to the product of (i) the weighted average
     of the interest rates on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with
     the designation "1" for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction the
     numerator of which is 30 and the denominator of which is the actual number
     of days in the Accrual Period for the LIBOR Certificates, provided,
     however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-IO Interest
     is entitled to a portion of interest accruals on a SWAP REMIC Regular
     Interest ending with a designation "A" as described in footnote 11 below,
     such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on
     such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such
     Distribution Date.

(10) For each Distribution Date, the interest rate for the Class LTII2B Interest
     shall be a per annum rate equal to the product of (i) the weighted average
     of the interest rates on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with
     the designation "2" for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction the
     numerator of which is 30 and the denominator of which is the actual number
     of days in the Accrual Period for the LIBOR Certificates, provided,
     however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-IO Interest
     is entitled to a portion of interest accruals on a SWAP REMIC Regular
     Interest ending with a designation "A" as described in footnote 11 below,
     such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on
     such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such
     Distribution Date.

(11) The Class LT-IO Interest is an interest-only class that does not have a
     principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first
     column of the table below, the Class LT-IO Interest shall be entitled to
     interest accrued on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interest listed in the second
     column below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
     interest rate for such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest for such Distribution
     Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

and (ii) the total of any Subsequent Recovery distributed on such date to the

Principal Balance of any more senior Class of Certificates pursuant to this
sentence on such Distribution Date).

     SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

     The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee without

<PAGE>

     If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor cannot deliver the
Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification,
as the case may be, with evidence of recording thereon, if applicable,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement solely because of
a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage, Assignments
of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be,
has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage or
assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be, has been
delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation.
Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or
modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon,
if applicable, upon receipt thereof from the public recording office. To the
extent any required endorsement is not contained on a Mortgage Note or an
Assignment of Mortgage, the Depositor shall make or cause such endorsement to be
made.

     With respect to any Mortgage Loan, none of the Depositor, the Servicer or
the Trustee shall be obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. In the event that any Assignment of
Mortgage is not recorded or is improperly recorded, the Servicer shall have no
liability for its failure to receive or act on notices related to such
Assignment of Mortgage.

     The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the
related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor the
Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not
claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall
respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage
Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the Servicer's possession of
the contents of each Mortgage File so retained is for the sole purpose of
servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the
Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action
inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly
indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to
claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans.

     It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance
of Mortgage Loans from the Sponsor to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge
and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the
Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of the Sponsor deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the
intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the
Sponsor to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the
Trustee shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of
perfection of the security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a
pledge, it is the intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under
the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage
Loans, all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust
Fund, and all proceeds of any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any
Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force
and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the
benefit of such Person.

                                       62

<PAGE>

     In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this Section
2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests under the Sale
Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest in the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and the benefit
of the repurchase obligations and the obligation of the Sponsor contained in the
Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the Depositor or the Trustee, all
action on its part which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of
a Mortgage Loan. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be
entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if,
for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer,
assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to
result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the
Depositor, the Sponsor, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage
Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto.

     The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended that any
Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is, without limitation, a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
any other applicable anti-predatory lending laws, including but not limited to
(i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act

Home Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act
effective November 7, 2004; (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the
Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective January 1, 2005 or (v) a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined by the Illinois High Risk Home Loan Act effective January
1, 2004.

     Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered contemporaneously
herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does

Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and any other documents constituting a part of the
Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders. The Depositor will cause the Sponsor to

Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction of the
Depositor and the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date.

Entity and for the Supplemental Interest Trust.

     The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each
Mortgage File delivered to it within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date to
ascertain and to certify, within seventy (70) days of the Closing Date, to the
Depositor and the Servicer that all documents required by Section 2.01, except
those listed on the exception report attached thereto, have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit B that have been conveyed to it. If the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective
(that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect,
the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business
Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Depositor.
In addition, the Trustee shall also notify the Servicer, the Sponsor and the
Depositor if the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with
respect to a

                                       63

<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan is not received within seventy (70) days of the Closing Date; if
it has not been received because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating
that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording
officer for recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to
be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording office. The Trustee shall request that the
Sponsor correct or cure such omission, defect or other irregularity, or
substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(c), within
ninety (90) days from the date the Sponsor was notified of such omission or
defect and, if the Sponsor does not correct or cure such omission or defect
within such period, that the Sponsor purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Issuing Entity within ninety (90) days from the date the Trustee notified the
Sponsor of such omission, defect or other irregularity at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant
to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the Servicer
in the Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release, shall promptly release to
the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or
warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor or its designee, as the
case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall
have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to purchase, cure or
substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a
constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect or omission available to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The
preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee pursuant to the Sale Agreement.
The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review and examine
such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they
are genuine, enforceable, recordable or appropriate to the represented purpose,
or that they have actually been recorded, or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face. The Trustee shall keep confidential the name of
each Mortgagor and the Trustee shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the
purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed
that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and
the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of Mortgagors and
data relating to their Mortgages shall be retained by the Servicer.

     Within seventy (70) days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the
form of Exhibit D attached hereto, evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files, with any exceptions noted thereto.

     SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor.

     (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer and the
Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof

          (i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a
     corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
     has full power and authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or hold
     its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to
     enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale
     Agreement.

          (ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to
     execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the
     transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement and has
     duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the
     execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Sale
     Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming the due
     authorization, execution and delivery

                                       64

<PAGE>

     hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
     obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
     accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (i)
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
     affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of
     equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
     equity or at law.

          (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sale
     Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the fulfillment
     of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of
     business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of
     any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B)
     materially conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration of, or
     result in a material default under, the terms of any other material
     agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it
     may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order
     or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body,
     administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
     Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material
     indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any
     statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
     agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or
     violation may materially impair the Depositor's ability to perform or meet
     any of its obligations under this Agreement.

          (iv) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Depositor's
     knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and
     adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
     Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to perform
     its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement in accordance
     with the terms hereof.

          (v) 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 and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or
     order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The Depositor
     hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage
     Loan as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage
     Loans to it by the Sponsor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage
     Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, liens,
     mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, defenses or counterclaims.

          (vi) Each Mortgage Loan in Group One has a Stated Principal Balance as
     of the Cut-off Date that complies with the loan limitations of Fannie Mae
     and Freddie Mac as in effect on the Cut-off Date.

     (b) To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a
Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Sponsor under the Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee or of
any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's right to enforce the obligations of
the Sponsor under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The
Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability
with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(v)) under any
circumstances.

     (c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Trustee of
a breach of any of representations and warranties set forth in the Sale
Agreement that adversely and materially affects the

                                       65

<PAGE>

value of the related Mortgage Loan, prepayment charges or the interests of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties. Within ninety (90) days of the discovery of a
breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor,
the Sponsor and assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee, the Depositor, or the
Sponsor shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b)
repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from
the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year period following
the Closing Date, substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and
warranty of the Sponsor or the Depositor, the Trustee shall enforce its rights
under the Sale Agreement or thereunder for the benefit of Certificateholders. In
the event of a breach of the representations and warranties with respect to the
Mortgage Loans set forth in a Sale Agreement, the Trustee shall enforce the
right of the Issuing Entity to be indemnified for such breach of representation
and warranty. In the event that such breach relates solely to the
unenforceability of a prepayment charge, amounts received in respect of such
indemnity up to the amount of such prepayment charge shall be distributed
pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i)(B). As provided in the Sale Agreement, if the
Sponsor substitutes for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a breach of any
representations and warranties which adversely and materially affects the value
of such Mortgage Loan and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Replacement
Mortgage Loan, under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Sponsor will, in
exchange for such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase
Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing
Date, substitute such affected Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan.
Any such substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I and
shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the Startup Day. As
provided in the Sale Agreement, the Sponsor indemnifies and holds the Issuing
Entity, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Servicer and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any
actions of the Sponsor relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in
compliance with the terms of this Section 2.03 and the Sale Agreement, to the
extent that any such action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on
the Issuing Entity or any REMIC provided for herein, including without
limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup day" under Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

     With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to
this Agreement or by the Sponsor pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the principal
portion of the funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited
by the Servicer in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05. The
Trustee, upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Replacement Mortgage
Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, shall release or cause to be
released and reassign to the Depositor or the Sponsor, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such
party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other
encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by
the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with
respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

     With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the Sponsor, as applicable, must deliver to
the Trustee the Mortgage File for the Replacement Mortgage Loan containing

                                       66

<PAGE>

the documents set forth in Section 2.01 along with a written certification
certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting
language set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.01; and (ii) the Depositor
will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan,
each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the
related Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall review the Mortgage File with
respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and certify to the Depositor that all
documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received.

     For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and the aggregate
prepayment charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal
portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) and aggregate
prepayment charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. An amount equal to the
aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding sentence (such amount,
the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") shall be delivered by the Sponsor to the
Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on the Determination Date for
the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related
Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

     The Sponsor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage
Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Sponsor,
such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all applicable representations
and warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement as of the date of
substitution.

     In addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such
substitution will not (a) cause any federal tax to be imposed on the Issuing
Entity or any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the
Code or (b) adversely affect the status of any REMIC provided for herein as a
REMIC. If any such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of
Counsel can be given.

     (d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
indemnification (i) set forth in this Section 2.03 and (ii) of the Sponsor and
the Depositor set forth in the Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the
Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the
Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.

     The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and the
Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof

          (i) The Servicer is a duly formed corporation and is validly existing
     and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and is
     duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated
     by this Agreement to be conducted by the Servicer in any state in which a
     Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable

                                       67

<PAGE>

     law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with
     the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent necessary to
     ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan, to service the Mortgage
     Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to perform any of
     its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms
     hereof.

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

          (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer,
     the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, the consummation
     of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
     fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary
     course of business of the Servicer and will not (A) result in a material
     breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Servicer
     or (B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or
     acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any
     other material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or
     by which it may be bound, or (C) constitute a material violation of any
     statute, order or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court,
     regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
     jurisdiction over the Servicer; and the Servicer is not in breach or
     violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or
     instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any
     court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
     jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the
     Servicer's ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this
     Agreement.

          (iv) The Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Fannie
     Mae and is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Freddie Mac.

          (v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's
     knowledge, threatened, against the Servicer that would materially and
     adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
     Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans or
     to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance
     with the terms hereof.

          (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
     governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
     performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the Servicer with, this
     Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or
     if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the
     Servicer has obtained the same.

          (vii) The Servicer has fully furnished and will fully furnish (for the
     period it serviced the Mortgage Loans), in accordance with the Fair Credit
     Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
     information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files
     to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a
     monthly basis.

                                       68

<PAGE>

     SECTION 2.05. Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans Which Are Not
"Qualified Mortgages".

     Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written
notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor
shall, at the Depositor's option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in
Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement
Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan within ninety (90) days of such discovery in the same manner as it
would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained in
Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor the Mortgage Loan to
be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.

     SECTION 2.06. Authentication and Delivery of Certificates.

     The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Trustee has caused
to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in
exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee
in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Fund. The
Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above
for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to
perform its duties set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

     SECTION 2.07. REMIC Elections.

     (a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make an
appropriate election to treat each of the SWAP REMIC, the Lower Tier REMIC and
the Upper Tier REMIC as a REMIC. The Trustee shall sign the returns providing
for such elections and such other tax or information returns which are required
to be signed by the Trustee under applicable law. This Agreement shall be
construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of the SWAP
REMIC, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC be treated as a REMIC at
all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated.

     (b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby. The "Startup Day," as defined in Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code, for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal
year shall be the calendar year.

     The SWAP REMIC shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust Fund, other
than (i) amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section
4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests issued by the SWAP REMIC and the interests
issued by the Lower Tier REMIC, (iii) the grantor trusts described in Section
2.07 hereof, (iv) each Cap Contract and the Cap Contract Account and (v) the
Swap Agreement and the Supplemental Interest Trust. The SWAP REMIC shall issue
the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests, which shall be designated as regular interests
of such REMIC, and shall issue the Class SWR Interest, which shall be designated
as the sole class of residual interest in the SWAP REMIC. Each of the SWAP REMIC
Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in the Preliminary
Statement and this Section 2.07.

                                       69

<PAGE>

     The Lower Tier REMIC shall consist of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests. The
Lower Tier REMIC shall issue the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, which shall
be designated as regular interests of such REMIC and shall issue the Class LTR
Interest, which shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in
the Lower Tier REMIC. Each of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall have
the characteristics set forth in its definition and the Preliminary Statement.

     The assets of the Upper Tier REMIC shall be the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular
interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest shall be designated
as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. For federal
income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each REMIC Regular Interest (other
than the Uncertificated Class C Interest and the Class UT-IO Interest) and on
the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC shall be subject to
a cap equal to the Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap.

     The beneficial ownership of the Class SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest
and the Residual Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The
Class SWR Interest and the Class LTR Interest shall not have a principal balance
or bear interest.

     (c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate;
provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by its acceptance
thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to
act as "tax matters person" with respect to each such REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R
Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with the greatest
percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one
such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)
and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1.

     (d) (i) It is intended that the rights of the Class A Certificates, Class R
Certificate, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates to receive payments
in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap
contracts written by the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of
the Class A Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class M Certificates and Class B
Certificates, and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and
apart from the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holders of
the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates and the
residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holder of the Class R
Certificate. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled
with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted
consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that
any of the Class A Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class M Certificates and
Class B Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Interest, such
amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the Cap Contracts or the
Swap Agreement, will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the
Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section
4.04(f) and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates pursuant to the
related interest rate cap agreement.

          (ii) It is intended that the beneficial owners of the Certificates
(other than the Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having
entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners
of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract,
all beneficial owners of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and
Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each
Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an
aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such
Distribution Date on the Corresponding REMIC Regular Interest of such Class of
Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such
Distribution Date (such excess, a "Class Payment Shortfall"). A Class Payment
Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that

                                       70
<PAGE>

interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the
Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting "Upper Tier REMIC Net
WAC Cap" for the Available Funds Cap set forth in the definition thereof,
exceeds the amount of interest accrued on such Certificate at the Pass-Through
Rate (without such substitution) for the related Accrual Period, and a Class
Payment Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the
most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to
the extent of such balance.

     (e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the
Uncertificated Class C Interest, the uncertificated Class UT-IO Interest, the
rights to receive payments deemed made by the Class A, Class R, Class M and
Class B Certificates in respect of notional principal contracts described in
Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Cap Contract Account, the Cap Contracts, the
Supplemental Interest Trust that holds the Swap Agreement and the obligation of
the holders of the Class C Certificates to pay amounts in respect of Excess
Interest to the holders of the Class A Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class
M Certificates and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor trust"
under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class C Certificates, and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be
furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information regarding their
allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii)
file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together
with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable and
(iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to
payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A Certificates, Class R
Certificate, Class M Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates
as may be applicable under the Code.

     (f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the
right to receive the payments distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the
Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, and the
provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be
furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their
allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file
or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with
any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable.

     (g) The parties intend that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty under the
Swap Agreement shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be paid by the
Class C Certificates first, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Class
UT-IO Interest, second, out of funds deemed received in respect of the
Uncertificated Class C Interest and third, out of funds deemed received in
respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. On
each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty
are deemed paid out of funds received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C
Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to
the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section
4.04(f) and then paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement.

          The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund" for
federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any REMIC. Furthermore, the
Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the
Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be
taxable on all income earned thereon.

     (h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each
of the Mortgage Loans (other than amounts distributable to the Class P
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof)

                                       71

received by the SWAP REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to
the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such
interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests
have been reimbursed. Any available funds remaining in the SWAP REMIC on a
Distribution Date after distributions to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall
be distributed to the Class R Certificates on account of the Class SWR Interest.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest
Funds (net of expenses and payments to the Class P Certificates) with respect to
each of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests based on the interest rates for each
such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group One Mortgage
Loans first to the Class 1-SW1 Interest until its principal balance is reduced
to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests
beginning with designation "1" in ascending order of their numerical class
designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation,
until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses
with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP
REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "1" in the same manner
that principal distributions are allocated. On each Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group
Two Mortgage Loans first to the Class 2-SW2 Interest until its principal balance
is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular
Interests beginning with designation "2" in ascending order of their numerical
class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical
designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero.
All losses with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among
the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in the same
manner that principal distributions are allocated. Subsequent Recoveries with
respect to the Group One and Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated in the
reverse fashion from the manner in which losses are allocated.

          All payments received by the Lower Tier REMIC with respect to the SWAP
REMIC Regular Interests shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and
any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts
shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date,
payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have
a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding
Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the
excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over
(y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests
(if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and
unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount
to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class
LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B
Interest and Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence
will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following
manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal
to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal
balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the
excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate
Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any
such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC
II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with
"A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinate
Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of

                                       72

<PAGE>

principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated
among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal
to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal
balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the
excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate
Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any
such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC
II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the
end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinate Balance Ratio
is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest.
Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to
any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places.

          Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a
Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LTR
Interest.

          If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any
Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the
definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent
increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests,
with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the
allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such
Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that, to the
greatest extent possible, (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests
has a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the
Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance
equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC
I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Lower Tier
REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the
remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations in connection
with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the greatest extent possible, (a)
the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "B" at
the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group, (b) the principal
balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its
designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the aggregate scheduled principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group over (y) the aggregate
principal balance of Certificate Group One in the case of the Class LTII1A
Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest and
(c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class LTIIX Interest.

          For purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) the Class LTII1A Interest and
Class LTII1B Interest shall be related to Group One, and (ii) the Class LTII2A
Interest and Class LTII2B Interest shall be related to Group Two.

     (i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the
Issuing Entity against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the

                                       73

<PAGE>

Holder of the Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate
on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or
restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the Class R Certificate now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission
that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its
duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal
and interest on the Certificates).

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

     SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Servicer.

     The Servicer hereby covenants to each of the other parties to this
Agreement that the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer
under each Required Insurance Policy.

     SECTION 2.09. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 2.10. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 2.11. Permitted Activities of the Issuing Entity. The Issuing
Entity is created for the object and purpose of engaging in the Permitted
Activities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized
and directed to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, the Cap
Contracts and the Swap Agreement, and to execute and deliver on behalf of the
Issuing Entity, and to perform the duties and obligations of the Issuing Entity
under any agreement or instrument related to the Cap Contracts and the Swap
Agreement, in each case in such form as the Depositor shall direct or shall
approve in writing, the execution and delivery of any such agreement by the
Depositor to be conclusive evidence of its approval thereof.

     SECTION 2.12. Qualification of Special Purpose Entity. For purposes of SFAS
140, the parties hereto intend that the Issuing Entity shall be treated as a
"qualifying special purpose entity" as such term is used in SFAS 140 and any
successor rule thereto and its power and authority as stated in Section 2.11 of
this Agreement shall be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 of SFAS 140.

     SECTION 2.13. Depositor Notification of NIM Notes. The Depositor shall
notify the Servicer and the Trustee if and when any NIM Notes are issued and

                                  ARTICLE III
                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

     SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

     For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided
in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may
deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) subject to Section 3.12(a), to
effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that, subject to Section 6.03, the
Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the
interests of the Issuing Entity or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan
serviced by it under this Agreement or the rights and interests of the other
parties to this Agreement except as otherwise required by this Agreement or by
law. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interest of the Issuing Entity
in the same manner as it currently protects its own interest in mortgage loans
in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage
Loan, but in any case not in any manner that is a lesser standard than that
provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.01. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not make or permit any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan which would
cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860G(a) or 860G(d) of the
Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own
name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it
appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, of partial or full release or
discharge, or of subordination and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and
deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution
and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans. If reasonably required by
the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with a reasonable number of
powers of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and execute such
other documents delivered to it by the Servicer that are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor
and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the
Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any misuse of such
power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Servicer for any costs,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith.

     In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on any first lien Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08.

                                       75

<PAGE>

To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, (i) the
Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by a first lien
Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax
lien and (ii) the Servicer shall ensure that all insurance required to be
maintained on a first lien Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is
maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives
notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the
Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property,
advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the
Mortgaged Property subject to the Servicer's determination that such advances
will be recoverable. All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and
related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal
Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loans so permit.

     The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers and specimen
signatures to the Trustee by the Closing Date.

     The Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 97-02 and for each
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer agrees that it shall report one of the following
statuses each month as follows: current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed or charged-off.

     The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing
or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System,
shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account
(provided that such expenses constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)).

     With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may consent to the
refinancing of the prior senior lien relating to such Mortgage Loan, provided
that the following requirements are met:

     (a) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no
higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; and

     (b) the interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is
no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the
existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

     (c) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to
negative amortization.

     SECTION 3.02. Servicing and Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer.

     (a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a
subservicer, which may be an Affiliate (each, a "subservicer"), pursuant to a
subservicing agreement (each, a

                                       76

<PAGE>

"Subservicing Agreement"); provided, however, that (i) such subservicing
arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for
the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing
arrangements contemplated hereunder and (ii) that such agreement would not
result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings of any
Certificates evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating
Agency to the Depositor. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing
agreement, 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 liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration 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. Every subservicing agreement entered into by the Servicer
shall contain a provision giving any successor servicer the option to terminate
such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of
the each subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement
shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
copies of all subservicing agreements.

     (b) The Servicer may enter into a special servicing advisory agreement with
a holder of the Class R Certificate and/or one or more other class of
Subordinate Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity or of a net interest
margin trust holding certificates issued by the Issuing Entity and/or an advisor
designated by such holder. Pursuant to such agreement, the Servicer may provide
such holder or advisor, in its capacity as special servicing advisor, with
loan-level information with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and such holder or
the special servicing advisor designated by such holder may advise the Servicer
with regards to efforts to maximize recoveries with respect to such Mortgage
Loans, including without limitation the commencement of foreclosure proceedings
or other actions.

     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that are received by a subservicer regardless of whether such payments are
remitted by the subservicer to the Servicer.

     (d) The Servicer shall not permit a Subservicer to perform any servicing
responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that
Subservicer first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment
of Compliance and an Accountant's Attestation in such manner and at such times
that permits that Servicer to comply with Section 3.17 of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Servicer.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer, and neither of them
is obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.

     SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer.

     In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its designee shall, within a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days from
the date of notice of termination or resignation, thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.10 hereof or any acts or omissions of such predecessor Servicer
hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances or Servicing Advances if it is
prohibited from doing

                                       77

<PAGE>

so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 2.05
hereof, (iv) responsible for any expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties hereunder,
including pursuant to Section 2.04 or the first paragraph of Section 6.02
hereof; provided, however that the Trustee (subject to clause (ii) above) or its
designee, in its capacity as the successor servicer, shall immediately assume
the terminated or resigning Servicer's obligation to make Advances and Servicing
Advances. No such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay
amounts owed under this Agreement and to perform its duties under this Agreement
until its successor assumes all of its rights and obligations hereunder. If the
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of
any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) may, at its
option, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under any
subservicing agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however,
that the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) shall not incur any liability
or have any obligations in its capacity as servicer under a subservicing
agreement arising prior to the date of such succession unless it expressly
elects to assume such obligations of the Servicer thereunder; and the Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
subservicing agreement arising prior to the date of such succession. To the
extent any costs or expenses, including without limitation Servicing Transfer
Costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.04 are not paid
by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date
of the Trustee's invoice therefor, such amounts shall be payable out of the
Certificate Account; provided that the terminated Servicer shall reimburse the
Issuing Entity for any such expense incurred by the Issuing Entity upon receipt
of a reasonably detailed invoice evidencing such expenses. If the Trustee is
unwilling or unable to act as servicer, the Trustee shall seek to appoint a
successor servicer that is eligible in accordance with the criteria specified in
Section 7.03 of this Agreement.

     The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

     In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor
hereby agree that within ten (10) Business Days or delivery to the Trustee by
the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the
Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor servicer (provided that
at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee
meets the requirements of a successor servicer set forth above) and the
Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account;
Certificate Account.

     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related
Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing and subject to Section
3.01 hereof, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any default interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days;
provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not
affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, subject to Section 4.01, the Servicer
shall make any Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period
in accordance with the

                                       78

<PAGE>

amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by
reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such
default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards
set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such
Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate,
forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date
of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount
less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage
Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or
otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers,
modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements,
or indulgences collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided,
however, that in no event shall the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other
than as permitted by the second sentence of this Section) with respect to any
one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month period or more than three times
over the life of such Mortgage Loan, and provided, further, that in determining
which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Servicer
shall adhere to the standards of Section 3.01. The Servicer's analysis
supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the
standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

     (b) The Servicer will not waive any prepayment charge or portion thereof
unless, (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally or is otherwise prohibited by law, or (ii) the
collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) the prepayment of the
Mortgage Loan is made in connection with the involuntary sale of the related
Mortgaged Property, or (iv) in the Servicer's reasonable judgment as described
in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and (y) such waiver would maximize recovery of total
proceeds taking into account the value of such prepayment charge and related
Mortgage Loan, or (v) the collection of such prepayment charge or portion
thereof, or of a similar type of prepayment charge, would be considered
"predatory" or "illegal" pursuant to written guidance published by any
applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
such matters or has been challenged by any such authority, or, only to the
extent that there are no NIM Notes outstanding or to the extent that the
Depositor has notified the Servicer in writing that all previously issued NIM
Notes are no longer outstanding, there is a certificated class action in which a
similar type of prepayment charge is being challenged, or (vi) if sufficient
information is not made available to enable it to collect the prepayment charge.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, in no event will the Servicer
waive a prepayment charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan
that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. If the
Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a prepayment charge
relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or
omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall
deposit the amount of such prepayment charge (or such portion thereof as had
been waived for deposit) into the Collection Account for distribution in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (c) The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation
with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage
Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect
to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the
provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is
required is prohibited by applicable law.

     (d) The Servicer shall establish and initially maintain, on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Collection Account. The
Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account daily, within two (2)
Business Days of receipt thereof, in immediately available funds, the following
payments and collections received or made by it on and after the Cut-off Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

                                       79

<PAGE>

          (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
     Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans, other than principal due on the
     Mortgage Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date;

          (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of
     the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.15, other than interest
     due on the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date;

          (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to
     the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to either
     the Mortgagor or the holder of a senior lien on the Mortgaged Property in
     accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures;

          (iv) all Subsequent Recoveries;

          (v) all Compensating Interest;

          (vi) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
     Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

          (vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
     Section 3.10 hereof;

          (viii) the Purchase Price and any Substitution Adjustment Amount;

          (ix) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;

          (x) all prepayment charges; and

          (xi) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

     The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer into the
Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges and payments in the nature of assumption fees (i.e.
fees related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the
related Mortgaged Property) and other similar ancillary fees (other than
prepayment charges) if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the
event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and
not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at
any time withdraw or direct the Trustee, or such other institution maintaining
the Collection Account, to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section.
All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event
shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at
the direction of the Servicer.

     (e) [Reserved]

     (f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account and retain
therein the following:

          (i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Servicer from the Collection
     Account and required to be deposited in the Certificate Account;

                                       80

<PAGE>

          (ii) any amount required to be deposited by the Trustee pursuant to
     Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and

          (iii) the Auction Termination Amount or Clean Up Call Price payable
     pursuant to Section 9.01.

     Any amounts received by the Trustee prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time
(or such earlier deadline for investment in the Permitted Investments designated
by the Trustee), which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
by the Servicer, may be invested in Permitted Investments on the Business Day on
which they were received. The foregoing requirements for remittance by the
Servicer and deposit by the Servicer into the Certificate Account shall be
exclusive. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to
be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08
hereof, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur
liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of the
Servicer.

     (g) Each institution that maintains the Collection Account or the
Certificate Account shall invest the funds in each such account, as directed by
the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in writing, in Permitted
Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Collection
Account the Business Day preceding the related Servicer Remittance Date (except
that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
maintains such Collection Account or is otherwise immediately available, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Servicer Remittance
Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business Day
immediately preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such
investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such Certificate Account or a fund for which such
institution serves as custodian or is otherwise immediately available, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in
each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such
Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain
net of any losses realized from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in
the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by
the Servicer in the Collection Account out of the Servicer's own funds
immediately as realized. All income and gain net of any losses realized from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee and shall be remitted to or withdrawn by it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any losses incurred in the Certificate Account in respect of any
such investments shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.

     To the extent required by a related first lien Mortgage Note, the Servicer
shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account")
and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances
by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein
shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account
in violation of applicable law.

     Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made
only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums,
condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the
Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections
3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and
3.10

                                       81

<PAGE>

hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums
as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the
terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the
Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts
shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

     SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans.

     Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal
regulation, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder that is a
savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and
reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the
Servicer in providing such reports and access.

     The Servicer may from time to time provide the Depositor, and any person
designated by the Depositor, with reports and information regarding the Mortgage
Loans, including without limitation, information requested by the Depositor or
an originator of the Mortgage Loans for required institutional risk control. In
addition, subject to limitations of applicable privacy laws, the Servicer may
make public information regarding performance of the Mortgage Loans.

     SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Certificate Account.

     (a) The Servicer may from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account for the following purposes:

          (i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously paid to or
     withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with
     Section 3.15, that portion of any payment of interest that equals the
     Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment
     was made, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts
     set forth in Section 3.15;

          (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for Advances and Servicing Advances (to
     the extent such Servicing Advances would constitute "unanticipated
     expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
     1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs provided for herein)
     occurring after the Cut-off Date made by it with respect to the Mortgage
     Loans, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being
     limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for
     this purpose, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
     Proceeds) that represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or
     interest on such particular Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such
     Advance was made;

          (iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Non-Recoverable Advance
     previously made and, to the extent that such Non-Recoverable Servicing
     Advances would constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of
     Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs
     provided for herein, any Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance;

          (iv) to pay to the Servicer earnings on or investment income with
     respect to funds in or credited to the Collection Account;

                                       82

<PAGE>

          (v) to reimburse the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for Insured
     Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;

          (vi) to pay to the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse
     it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer's right to
     reimbursement of Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (vi) with
     respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on
     particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation
     Proceeds and purchase and repurchase proceeds and including any Subsequent
     Recoveries related to any liquidated Mortgage Loan) that represent late
     recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to
     Section 3.01 or Section 3.06;

          (vii) to pay to the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees for any
     Mortgage Loan upon such Mortgage Loan being charged off and upon
     termination of the obligations of the Servicer;

          (viii) to pay to the Depositor or the Servicer, as applicable, with
     respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that
     has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.12, all amounts
     received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related
     Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

          (ix) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred
     by either of them in connection with the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates
     and reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 6.03 hereof;

          (x) to reimburse the Trustee for enforcement expenses reasonably
     incurred in respect of a breach or defect giving rise to the purchase
     obligation in Section 2.03 that were incurred in the Purchase Price of the
     Mortgage Loans including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the
     purchase obligation; provided that any such expenses will be reimbursable
     under this subclause (x) only if such expenses would constitute
     "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
     1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs provided for herein;

          (xi) to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.05 any amount deposited in the
     Collection Account and not required to be deposited therein;

          (xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination
     of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and

          (xiii) to reimburse itself for Advances or Servicing Advances from
     amounts in the Collection Account held for future distributions that were
     not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date. An
     amount equal to the amount withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant
     to this subclause (xiv) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the
     Servicer on the next succeeding Distribution Date that funds are to be
     distributed to Certificateholders.

     In addition, no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn from the Collection
Account the Interest Funds and the Principal Funds (for this purpose only,
neither Interest Funds nor Principal Funds shall include a deduction for any
amount reimbursable to the Trustee unless such amounts have actually been
reimbursed from such funds), to the extent on deposit, and such amount shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account.

                                       83

<PAGE>

     The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from
the Collection Account.

     The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee on or prior
to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (iii) and (viii) above.

     In the event of any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
deposit into the Certificate Account any amounts (including any Advance)
required to be so remitted by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts
at the "prime rate" (as specified in the New York edition of the Wall Street
Journal) until such failure is remedied.

     (b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it
is authorized to retain pursuant to this Agreement). In addition, the Trustee
may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:

          (i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and
     not required to be deposited therein;

          (ii) to pay the Trustee any indemnification amounts owed it and to
     clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of the
     Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof (including paying all amounts
     necessary to the Trustee or the Servicer in connection with any such
     termination);

          (iii) to reimburse the Trustee for expenses incurred by the Trustee
     and reimbursable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof; and

          (iv) to pay to the Trustee earnings on or investment income with
     respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 3.09. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

     The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each first lien Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
estimated replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged
Property, which may be the last known coverage, or (ii) the greater of (a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the related Mortgagor
and/or mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the amount required under
applicable HUD/FHA regulations. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance
shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard
mortgagee clause. The Servicer shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained
on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, to the extent required under the standards described below.
Pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released
to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer
in

                                       84

<PAGE>

maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their
benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable
by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of
Liquidation Proceeds to the extent and as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08
hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If a first lien Mortgaged Property is located at the time
of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood
hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
(ii) the estimated replacement value of the improvements that are part of such
Mortgaged Property, which may be the last known coverage, or (iii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

     In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.10, and there shall have
been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy.

     SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11(a), when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance or
prospective conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy;
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. An Opinion of Counsel, which shall be reimbursable as a
Servicing Advance to the extent provided in Section 3.08(a)(ii) hereof,
delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing shall conclusively
establish the reasonableness of such belief, but which shall not be required. In
addition to the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to enforce any
"due-on-sale" clause if in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, entering
into an assumption and modification agreement with a Person to whom such
property shall be conveyed and releasing the original Mortgagor from liability
would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders. In the event that the
Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if
nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized,
subject to Section 3.11(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification
agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to
be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so
covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required
Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized
with the prior approval of the insurers under any

                                       85
<PAGE>

Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Section 3.11(a) by reason of any transfer or
assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing.

     (b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the
extent set forth in Section 3.11(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if
an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and
shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other
instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled
Payment, the Maximum Rate, the Minimum Rate, the Gross Margin, the Periodic Rate
Cap, the Adjustment Date, any prepayment charge and any other term affecting the
amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. 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 in the case of the original shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

     SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of
Excess Proceeds.

     (a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01 to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be
made for collection of Delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure
or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as
it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under
any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with the restoration of any
property that shall have suffered damage due to an uninsured cause unless it
shall determine (i) that such restoration 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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof). The Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.08 hereof. If the Servicer has received written notice
that a Mortgaged Property that 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, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider
such risks and only take action in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

                                       86

<PAGE>

     With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee. Pursuant to its efforts to sell
such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to
such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located
and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the
period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer or an Affiliate may
receive usual and customary real estate referral fees for real estate brokers in
connection with the listing and disposition of REO Property. The Servicer shall
prepare a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with the reporting
requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any,
from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later
than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall
perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments
and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and
6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as
may be required.

     In the event that the Issuing Entity acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to
the expiration of three years from the end of the year of its acquisition by the
Issuing Entity or, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, obtain more than sixty
(60) days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise
expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, in which case such property
must be disposed of prior to the end of such extension, unless the Trustee shall
have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (such
Opinion of Counsel not to be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the
holding by the Issuing Entity of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such
three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Issuing Entity or any of the REMICs provided for herein as
defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any of the REMICs provided for
herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, in which case the Issuing Entity may continue to hold such
Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged
Property acquired by the Issuing Entity shall be held, rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on
behalf of the Issuing Entity in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
the Issuing Entity or any REMIC provided for herein to the imposition of any
federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged
Property under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer or
the Depositor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Entity with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall have no
liability for any losses resulting from a foreclosure on a second lien Mortgage
Loan in connection with the foreclosure of the related first lien mortgage loan
that is not a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer does not receive notice of such
foreclosure action.

     The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired
through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the
Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in
connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees,
Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with
respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the
payment of principal

                                       87

of, and interest on, the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest
accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income
shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account
of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited
into the Collection Account. To the extent the income received during a
Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing
principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related
Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal
Prepayment for all purposes hereof.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 or any other
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the
assistant vice president for foreclosures or the vice president of default
management of the Servicer has actual knowledge (which shall not be presumed due
to any documents received by the Servicer) of, the presence of any toxic or
hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not,
on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as
a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire
possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged
Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Issuing Entity or
the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer believes, based on its reasonable
judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental
audits using customary industry standards, that:

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

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

     The Servicer shall forward a copy of the environmental audit report to the
Depositor and the Trustee. The cost of the environmental audit report
contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to
the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account, such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

     If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best
economic interest of the Issuing Entity to take such actions as are necessary to
bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental
laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or
remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or
petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the
Servicer may take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of
the Issuing Entity; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant
to this Section 3.12 shall constitute Advances. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject
to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account,
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer decides not to take such
action, it may not obtain title to such Mortgaged Property.

     The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of
any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the
Collection Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt
thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date.

     The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from
a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds, will be applied as between the
parties in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, pursuant
to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse the Servicer
for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or this Section
3.12; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been
made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the Due
Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan; and fifth,
to any prepayment charges.

     The proceeds of any net income from an REO Property will be applied as
between the parties in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing
Fees, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse
the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or
this Section 3.12; third, as a recovery of principal; and fourth, to accrued and
unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the
related REO Property, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed.

     (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the respective
aggregate amounts of Excess Proceeds, if any, that occurred in the related
Prepayment Period.

     (c) The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by
written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate sent to the Trustee,
which Officer's Certificate shall (i) set forth the affected Mortgage Loan or
REO Property and the Purchase Price, (ii) certify that the Purchase Price has
been deposited into the Collection Account and (iii) confirm that the purchase
complies in all respect with this Section 3.12(c)) to purchase for its own
account from the Issuing Entity any Mortgage Loan that is ninety-one (91) days
or more Delinquent or REO Property for which the Servicer has accepted a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price for any Mortgage Loan or REO Property purchased hereunder shall thereafter
be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit and a Request for Release from the
Depositor in the form of Exhibit I hereto, shall release or cause to be released
to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and the
Servicer 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 Servicer
shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and all security and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Servicer shall not use any
procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased that is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders.

     In the event that the Servicer is acting as the servicer and the Servicer
(or an Affiliate of the Servicer) is the owner of more than 50% of the Class of
Certificates which is then currently in a first loss position and such party is
deemed to be the "Primary Beneficiary" as defined in FIN 46R, the provisions of
the preceding paragraph shall not apply and the Servicer (or an Affiliate of the
Servicer), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written
notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate sent to the Trustee, which
Officer's Certificate shall (i) set forth the affected Mortgage Loan or REO
Property and the Purchase Price, (ii) certify that the Purchase Price has been
deposited into the Collection Account and

                                       89

<PAGE>

(iii) confirm that the purchase complies in all respect with this Section
3.12(c)) to purchase for its own account from the Issuing Entity any Mortgage
Loan that is 120 days or more Delinquent or REO Property for which the Servicer
has accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, during the period commencing on the
first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the
Initial Delinquency Date (as defined below) occurred with respect to such
Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter. If
the Servicer (or an Affiliate of the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase
right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the
preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible
for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan
ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 days
Delinquent again. The "Initial Delinquency Date" of a Mortgage Loan shall mean
the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent. Prior to
repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.12(c), the Servicer shall be required to
continue to make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall
not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Servicer
shall purchase any Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this paragraph at a
price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or
REO Property purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit
in the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit and a
Request for Release from the Depositor in the form of Exhibit I hereto, shall
release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Servicer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
released pursuant hereto and the Servicer shall succeed to all the Trustee's
right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and
documents related thereto. The provisions in this paragraph shall only apply if
Wilshire Credit Corporation is the servicer.

     SECTION 3.13. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

     Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee or
its designee by delivering a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit I. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee or its designee shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or
its designee shall at the Servicer's written direction execute and deliver to
the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage
in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with
written evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with
any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to
the Mortgagor to the extent permitted by law, and otherwise to the Trust Fund to
the extent such expenses constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(1)(b)(3)(ii). From time to time and as
shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any
fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a
partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the
making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the
other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee or its designee
shall, upon delivery to the Trustee or its designee of a Request for Release in
the form of Exhibit I signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File
to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned
to the Trustee or its designee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are
deposited in the Collection Account.

     Each Request for Release may be delivered to the Trustee or its designee
(i) via mail or courier, (ii) via facsimile or (iii) by such other means,
including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as the
Servicer and the Trustee or its designee shall mutually agree. The Trustee or
its

                                       90

<PAGE>

designee shall make reasonable efforts to release the related Mortgage File(s)
within three (3) Business Days of receipt of a properly completed Request for
Release pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above and shall so release within
four (4) Business Days. Receipt of a properly completed Request for Release
(including any Request for Release delivered in an electronic format pursuant to
(iii) above) shall be authorization to the Trustee or its designee to release
such Mortgage Files, provided the Trustee or its designee has determined that
such Request for Release has been executed, with respect to clauses (i) or (ii)
above, or approved, with respect to clause (iii) above, by an authorized
Servicing Officer of the Servicer, and so long as the Trustee or its designee
complies with its duties and obligations under the agreement. If the Trustee or
its designee is unable to release the Mortgage Files within the period
previously specified, the Trustee or its designee shall immediately notify the
Servicer indicating the reason for such delay. If the Servicer is required to
pay penalties or damages due to the Trustee or its designee's negligent failure
to release the related Mortgage File or the Trustee or its designee's negligent
failure to execute and release documents within four (4) Business Days after its
receipt of a Request for Release, the Trustee or its designee, shall be liable
for such penalties or damages directly caused by it and shall have no liability
for penalties or damages attributable to the Servicer's actions or inactions.

     If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its designee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall cause
possession of any Mortgage File or of the documents therein that shall have been
released by the Trustee or its designee to be returned to the Trustee promptly
after possession thereof shall have been released by the Trustee or its designee
unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account, and
the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or its designee a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit I or (ii) the Mortgage File or document shall
have been delivered to an attorney or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action
or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property and the
Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or its designee an Officer's
Certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to which the Mortgage File or the documents therein were delivered and
the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

     SECTION 3.14. Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be
Held for the Trustee.

     All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of,
the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject
any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account or
Certificate Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on,
or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall
be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation.

     As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account out of each payment
of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to
interest at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of
the related Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date.

     Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Proceeds,
Prepayment Interest Excess, late payment fees, assumption fees (i.e. fees
related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the related
Mortgaged Property) and similar fees payable by the Mortgagor, all income and
gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments in the Collection
Account, and other benefits arising from the Collection Account or Escrow
Account shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.12(a) hereof
or the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as
required by Section 3.10 hereof and maintenance of the other forms of insurance
coverage required by Section 3.10 hereof) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.08 and 3.12
hereof.

     SECTION 3.16. Access to Certain Documentation.

     The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of the Certificates and the examiners
and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access
to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without
charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it provided, that
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder
for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and
access. Nothing in this Section shall limit 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 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section.

     SECTION 3.17. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

     Not later than (a) March 12 of each calendar year (other than the calendar
year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with respect to any calendar

each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Servicer 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 obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year or a portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. With respect to
any Subservicer that meets the criteria of Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of
Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver, on behalf of that Subservicer, the
Officer's Certificate set forth in this Section 3.17 as and when required with
respect to such Subservicer.

costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain
arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of the custodian, if
any, to deliver when required any information required of it pursuant to Section
3.18 or 3.20 or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any
information provided on its behalf pursuant to Section 3.18 or 3.20.

     (l) Copies of such Assessments of Compliance and Accountant's Attestations
shall be available on the Trustee's website http://www.usbank.com/abs to any
Certificateholder, provided such statement is delivered to the Trustee. The
initial Assessments of Compliance and Accountant's Attestations required
pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be delivered to the Trustee and the
Depositor, as applicable, by each party no later than March 12, 2007. The

website within five (5) Business Days after filing with the Commission. This
requirement will be satisfied to the extent that the Issuing Entity's Form 10-K
is available on such website.

     (m) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of
this Section 3.18 is to facilitate compliance by the Sponsor and the Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB, as such may be amended or clarified from
time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that the parties'
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention
or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets,
advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB
and the parties shall comply with requests made by the Sponsor or the Depositor
for delivery of additional or different information as the Sponsor or the
Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions
of Regulation AB, provided that such information is available to such party
without unreasonable effort or expense and within such timeframe as may be
reasonably requested. Any such supplementation or modification shall be made in
accordance with Section 10.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and
may result in a change in the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the
Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act.

     SECTION 3.19. Subordination Liens.

     In connection with any governmental program under which a Mortgagor may
obtain a benefit in the event the related Mortgaged Property is subject to a
disaster provided that the Mortgagor files a covenant or other lien against the
Mortgaged Property and is required to obtain the subordination thereto of the
Mortgage, the Servicer may cause such subordination to be executed and filed
provided that either (i) the related Mortgage Loan is in default or default with
respect to such Mortgage Loan is imminent or (ii) such subordination and
participation in such governmental program will not result in a change in
payment expectations with respect to such Mortgage Loan. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, a change in payment expectations occurs if, as a result of
such subordination and participation in such governmental program, (1) there is
a substantial enhancement of the Mortgagor's capacity to meet the payment
obligations under the Mortgage Loan and that capacity was primarily speculative
prior to such subordination and participation in such governmental program and
is adequate after such subordination and participation in such governmental
program or (2) there is a substantial impairment of the Mortgagor's capacity to
meet the payment obligations under the Mortgage Loan and that capacity was
adequate prior to such subordination and participation in such governmental
program and is primarily speculative after such subordination and participation
in such governmental program. The preceding sentence and clause (ii) of the
second preceding sentence are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1001-3(e)(4) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.

     SECTION 3.20. Periodic Filings.

     As set forth on Schedule V hereto, for so long as the Issuing Entity is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of
business on the second Business Day after the occurrence of an event requiring
disclosure on Form 8-K (a "reportable event"), the Depositor, the Sponsor or the
Servicer, as applicable, shall have (i) timely notified the Trustee of an item
reportable on a Form 8-K (unless such item is specific to the Trustee, in which
case the Trustee will be deemed to have notice) and (ii) delivered to the
Trustee all information, data, and exhibits required to be provided or filed
with such Form 8-K in an EDGAR-compatible format agreed upon by the Trustee and
Depositor, Sponsor or Servicer. In the event that the reportable event does not
pertain to the Servicer, at the time such notice is provided to the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Trustee, to the extent the reportable item pertains to such
party, shall notify the Servicer thereof by telephone. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for determining what information is required to be filed on a Form
8-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless
such information is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be

                                       95

<PAGE>

responsible for consulting with the Depositor or Servicer in making such a
determination) or what events shall cause a Form 8-K to be required to be filed
(unless such event is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be
responsible for consulting with the Depositor or Servicer before causing such
Form 8-K to be filed) and shall not be liable for any late filing of a Form 8-K
in the event that it does not receive all information, data and exhibits
required to be provided or filed on or prior to the second Business Day prior to
the applicable filing deadline. After preparing the Form 8-K on behalf of the
Depositor, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K
to the Depositor and the Servicer for review. No later than the end of business
on the second Business Day after receiving a final copy of the Form 8-K from the
Trustee, a duly authorized representative of the Servicer shall sign the Form
8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee and the
Trustee shall file such Form 8-K within two (2) Business Days; provided that the
Depositor has notified the Trustee in writing that it approves of the form and
substance of such Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the
procedures set forth in this Agreement. After filing a Form 8-K with the
Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 8-K. The Trustee will have no obligation to prepare,
execute or file such Form 8-K or any liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare, execute or file such Form 8-K resulting from the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain or receive any information or signatures needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K within the time frames
required by this paragraph, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.

     Within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall,
on behalf of the Issuing Entity and in accordance with industry standards, file
with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System
(EDGAR), a Form 10-D with a copy of the report to the Certificateholders for
such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Any other information provided to
the Trustee by the Servicer or Depositor to be included in Form 10-D shall be
determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the
following paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any additional information on Form
10-D ("Additional Form 10-D Disclosure") as set forth in the next paragraph.

     The Depositor shall notify the Trustee of its intent to provide Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure prior to the related Distribution Date. As set forth in
Schedule W hereto, within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution
Date (i) the parties hereto, as applicable, will be required to provide to the
Depositor and the Servicer, to the extent known to such party, any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure (including any breaches of pool asset representations and
warranties or transaction covenants of which the party has written notice and
which has not been included on the monthly distribution report for the period),
if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor, to the extent it deems necessary, will
forward to the Trustee in EDGAR-compatible form (with a copy to the Servicer),
or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and the Depositor,
the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure by the fifth (5th)
calendar day after the related Distribution Date. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D
pursuant to this paragraph.

     After preparing the Form 10-D at the direction of the Depositor, the
Trustee will forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the
Depositor and the Servicer for review by the ninth (9th) calendar day after the
Distribution Date. No later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a final
copy after the related Distribution Date, unless the Servicer receives a notice
from the Trustee as described below or a written notice from the Depositor that
it has discovered a material deficiency or irregularity with respect to such
Form 10-D, a duly authorized representative of the Servicer shall sign the Form
10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such Form 10-D (with an original
executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall file such Form 10-D within two (2) Business Days.

                                       96

<PAGE>

Unless the Servicer shall have received notice from the Trustee to the contrary,
the Trustee will be deemed to have represented to the Servicer that, assuming
that the information provided to the Trustee by the Servicer is correct, the
monthly statement has been properly prepared by the Trustee, and the Servicer
may rely upon the accuracy thereof in it execution of the Form 10-D. If a Form
10-D cannot be filed on time (because of notice from the Trustee per the
previous sentence or otherwise) or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be
amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in this Section. After
filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet
website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D. The Trustee will have no
liability (1) with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute or file
such Form 10-D resulting from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or
receive any information needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 10-D on a timely basis and (2) with respect to the date of filing so long
as filing occurs by the Commission's deadline.

     Prior to March 30, 2007 (and, if applicable, prior to the ninetieth (90th)
calendar day after the end of the fiscal year for the Issuing Entity), the
Trustee shall, on behalf of the Issuing Entity and in accordance with industry
standards, prepare and file with the Commission via EDGAR a Form 10-K with
respect to the Issuing Entity. Such Form 10-K shall include the following items,
in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Trustee within the
applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance
statement for the Servicer and each Subservicer, as described in Section 3.17 of
the Agreement, (ii)(A) the annual reports on Assessment of Compliance with
Servicing Criteria for each Servicer, Subservicer and Subcontractor (unless the
Depositor has notified the Trustee that it has determined that such compliance
statement is not required by Regulation AB), as described in Section 3.18 of the
Agreement, and (B) if any Reporting Servicer's report on Assessment of
Compliance with Servicing Criteria described in Section 3.18 identifies any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance as set forth on the Reporting Servicer's report on Assessment of
Compliance or if any report on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria
described in Section 3.18 of the Agreement is not included as an exhibit to such
Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why
such report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm
attestation report for the Servicer and each Subservicer, as described in
Section 3.18 of the Agreement, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm
attestation report described in the Section 3.18 of the Agreement identifies any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation
report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such
report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and
(iv) a certification (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Certification") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit S, executed by the senior officer in charge of securitizations
of the Servicer. In addition to (i) through (iv) above, any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the
Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty
or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

     As set forth in Schedule X hereto, no later than March 12 (other than the
Trustee, who shall not be required to deliver any information until March 15) of
each year that the Issuing Entity is subject to the Exchange Act reporting
requirements, commencing in 2007, (i) certain parties to the transaction shall
be required to provide to the Depositor and the Servicer, to the extent known,
any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor
shall, to the extent it deems necessary, forward to the Trustee in
EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Trustee and the Depositor, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure by March 15. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.

     After preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a
draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and the Servicer for review. Upon
the request of the Servicer, the Depositor shall

                                       97

<PAGE>

confirm that it has reviewed the Form 10-K, that it has been properly prepared
and that the Servicer may rely on the accuracy thereof (other than with respect
to any portion of the Form 10-K or exhibit thereto provided by the Servicer
(other than any portion thereof with respect to which the Servicer has relied on
the Trustee)). No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the third Business Day following
receipt of a final copy of the Form 10-K, and if requested, the above described
confirmation from the Depositor, a senior officer of the Servicer shall sign the
Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall file such Form 10-K by March 20. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on
time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will
follow the procedures set forth in this Section. After filing with the
Commission, the Trustee will, pursuant to the Agreement, make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K. The Trustee shall have
no liability (1) with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute or
file such Form 10-K resulting from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain
or receive any information or signatures needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-K on a timely basis and (2) with respect to the
date of filing so long as the filing occurs by the Commission's deadline.

     Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit S. The Servicer will cause its senior officer in
charge of securitization to execute the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification required
pursuant to Rule 13a -14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and to deliver the original executed Sarbanes-Oxley Certification to the Trustee
by March 12 of each year in which the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act. In connection therewith, each of the Trustee
and the Servicer shall sign an Officer's Certificate (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit K and Exhibit L, respectively) for the benefit of the Servicer
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Certification. To the extent any information or exhibits required
to be included in the Form 10 -K are not timely received by the Trustee prior to
March 30, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, file a Form 12B-25
and one or more amended Form 10-Ks, to the extent such amendments are accepted
pursuant to the Exchange Act, to include such missing information or exhibits
promptly after receipt thereof by the Trustee.

     Promptly following the first date legally permissible under applicable
regulations and interpretations of the Commission, the Trustee shall, on behalf
of the Issuing Entity and in accordance with industry standards, file with the
Commission via EDGAR a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the
Issuing Entity, if applicable.

     The Servicer agrees to furnish to the Trustee promptly, from time to time
upon request of the Depositor, such further information, reports, and financial
statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
as is reasonably necessary to prepare and file all necessary reports with the
Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items with the
Commission other than those specified in this Section 3.20, and the Servicer
shall execute any and all Form 8-Ks, Form 10-Ds and Form 10-Ks required
hereunder.

     If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates
additional rules or regulations with respect to Regulation AB or otherwise, or
if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting
arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto,
described in this Section 3.20, to be conducted differently than as described,
the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend
the provisions of this Section 3.20 in order to comply with such amended
reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.20. Any such
amendment shall be made in accordance with Section 10.01 without the consent of
the Certificateholders, and may result in a change in the reports filed by the
Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be

                                       98

<PAGE>

obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.20 that
adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

     The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee agree to use their good faith
efforts to cooperate in complying with the requirements of this Section 3.20.

     In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission
all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to
be filed pursuant to this Agreement because required disclosure information was
either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set
forth in this Agreement, the Trustee will immediately notify the Depositor and
the Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, Servicer and
Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form
10-DA and Form 10-KA, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange
Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all disclosure
information required to be included on Form 8-K, include such disclosure
information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form
8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the party to this Agreement
deciding that an amendment to such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is required
will notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer and such parties will
cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-KA, Form 10-DA or Form 10-KA. Any Form
15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be
signed by an officer of the Servicer. Each party acknowledges that the
performance by any party of its duties under this Section 3.20 related to the
timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form
8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon the other parties observing all
applicable deadlines (and the related grace periods thereto) in the performance
of their duties under this Section 3.20 and Sections 3.17 and 3.18. No party
shall have liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with
respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such
failure results from another party's inability or failure to obtain or receive,
on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to
Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.

     SECTION 3.21. Indemnification by Trustee.

     The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer
and their respective officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach by the Trustee or any of its officers, directors, agents or
Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 (other than Section
3.18(f)) and 3.20, any material misstatement or omission in any documents
prepared thereunder (to the extent the Trustee is responsible for providing
information or calculating amounts included in such information), the failure of
the Trustee to deliver when required any Assessment of Compliance or
Accountant's Attestation required of it pursuant to Section 3.18 or Annual
Statement of Compliance required pursuant to Section 3.17, as applicable, or any
material misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance,
Accountant's Attestation or Annual Statement of Compliance provided on its
behalf pursuant to Section 3.17 or 3.18, as applicable, or the negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified parties, then the Trustee agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee on the
one hand and of the indemnified parties on the other. Failure by the Trustee to
deliver an Accountant's Attestation when required under Section 3.18(f) will be
grounds for immediate removal of the Trustee under Section 8.08; in the event of
such failure, the Trustee shall pay

                                       99

<PAGE>

certain costs and expenses of the Depositor caused by such failure as separately
agreed to by the Depositor and the Trustee.

     SECTION 3.22. Indemnification by Servicer.

     The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Depositor and their respective officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from
and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or
Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.20, any material
misstatement or omission in any documents prepared thereunder (to the extent the
Servicer is responsible for providing information or calculating amounts
included in such information), the failure of the Servicer to deliver when
required any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's Attestation required of it
pursuant to Section 3.18 or Annual Statement of Compliance required pursuant to
Section 3.17, as applicable, or any material misstatement or omission contained
in any Assessment of Compliance, Accountant's Attestation or Annual Statement of
Compliance provided on its behalf pursuant to Section 3.17 or 3.18, as
applicable (to the extent the Servicer is responsible for providing information
or calculating amounts included in such information), or the negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified parties, then the Servicer agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer on
the one hand and the indemnified parties on the other.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on the accuracy of the information or data provided to the Servicer
by the Trustee or the Depositor in connection with the document preparation
under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.20, and the Servicer shall be entitled to rely
conclusively upon and shall have no liability for any errors in such
information.

     SECTION 3.23. Prepayment Charge Reporting Requirements.

          (ii) current Mortgage Rate;

          (iii) current principal balance;

          (iv) original principal balance;

          (v)  prepayment charge amount due;

          (vi) prepayment charge amount collected; and

          (vii) reason why full prepayment charge amount was not collected, if
               applicable.

     SECTION 3.24. Statements to Trustee. Not later than the Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee an electronic file providing
loan level accounting data for the period

                                       100

<PAGE>

ending on the last Business Day of the preceding month in the format mutually
agreed upon between the Servicer and the Trustee, including but not limited to
information described in Section 4.05(a).

     SECTION 3.25. Further Indemnification by the Servicer.

     The Servicer shall indemnify the Sponsor, the Issuing Entity, Trustee (in
its individual capacity and in its capacity as Trustee) and the Depositor and
hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such
parties may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform
its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement by reason of breach of representations of the Servicer or willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer promptly shall notify the
Sponsor, the Trustee and the Depositor or any other relevant party if a claim is
made by a third party with respect to such party and this Agreement or the
Mortgage Loans and, if subject to this indemnification obligation, assume (with
the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee and the Depositor with a written report of all expenses and advances
incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.25, and the Servicer from
the assets of the Trust Fund in the Collection Account promptly shall reimburse
itself for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the second sentence of this
Section 3.25 except when the claim in any way relates to the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
outstanding Certificates.

     SECTION 3.26. Solicitation.

     The Servicer may solicit or refer to a mortgage originator, who may or may
not be an affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer, any Mortgagor for
refinancing or otherwise take action to encourage refinancing.

     SECTION 3.27. Existing Servicing Agreement.

     The Servicer acknowledges the transfer on the Closing Date of the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans from the Existing Servicing Agreement to this Agreement
pursuant to the Existing Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 3.28. High Cost Mortgage Loans.

     In the event that the Servicer reasonably determines that a Mortgage Loan
may be a "high cost mortgage loan," "high cost home," "covered," "high cost,"
"high risk home," "predatory" or similarly classified loan under any applicable
state, federal or local law, the Servicer may notify the Depositor and the
Trustee, and if the Servicer so notifies such parties, the Servicer may cease
its initiation of collection efforts thereon; and such determination shall be
deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan and the Sponsor will repurchase the
Mortgage Loan within a 90-day period from the date of the notice in the manner
described in Section 2.05.

Each such Advance shall be remitted to the Collection Account no later than 2:00
p.m. New York City time on the Servicer Advance Date in immediately available
funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the
extent that such advance would not be a Non-Recoverable Advance. If the Servicer
shall have determined that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or that a
proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a
Non-Recoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of
such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, each Rating Agency and
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for such
determination. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance with
respect to the principal portion of the final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon
Loan, but the Servicer is under no obligation to do so; provided, however, that
nothing in this sentence shall affect the Servicer's obligation under this
Section 4.01 to Advance the interest portion of the final Scheduled Payment with
respect to a Balloon Loan as if such Balloon Loan were a fully amortizing
Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor does not pay its final Scheduled Payment on a
Balloon Loan for a first lien Mortgage when due, the Servicer shall Advance
(unless it determines in its good faith judgment that such amounts would
constitute a Non Recoverable Advance) a full month of interest (net of the
Servicing Fee) on the Stated Principal Balance thereof each month until its
Stated Principal Balance is reduced to zero.

     In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds, the
Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating
to the Collection Account that any amount held for future distribution has been
used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and
(ii) transfer such funds from the Collection Account to the Certificate Account.
In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any such
Advance from amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account to the
extent such amounts are not then required to be distributed. Any funds so
applied and transferred pursuant to the previous two sentences shall be replaced
by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account no later than the close of
business on the Servicer Advance Date on which such funds are required to be
distributed pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances of its own funds made
pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make
Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until such Mortgage
Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property
has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution
therefor) from the Issuing Entity pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01.

     SECTION 4.02. Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

     In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Prepayment Interest
Shortfall, the Servicer shall, from amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee for
such Distribution Date, deposit into the Collection Account, as a reduction of
the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the Servicer Advance
Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount up to the
Prepayment Interest

                                      102

<PAGE>

Shortfall; provided that the amount so deposited with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be limited to the product of (x) one-twelfth of 0.25%
per annum and (y) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
In case of such deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or
reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the
Certificateholders. With respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that
the Prepayment Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such excess, a
"Non-Supported Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest Shortfall shall
reduce the Current Interest with respect to each Class of Certificates, pro rata
based upon the amount of interest each such Class would otherwise be entitled to
receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be
no reduction of the Servicing Fee in connection with Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls related to the Relief Act and the Servicer shall not be obligated to
pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related
to the Relief Act.

     SECTION 4.03. Distributions on the REMIC Interests.

     On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account
shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as applied to distributions on
the interests in each of the SWAP REMIC and the Lower Tier REMIC in an amount
sufficient to make the distributions on the respective Certificates on such
Distribution Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04.

     SECTION 4.04. Distributions.

     (a) [Reserved]

     (b) On each Distribution Date (or in the case of any Net Swap Payments owed
to the Swap Counterparty, two "business days" (as defined in the Swap Agreement)
prior to such Distribution Date), the Trustee shall make the following
distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal to the Interest
Funds in the following order of priority:

          (i) to the Class P Certificates, any prepayment charges collected on
     the Mortgage Loans and (A) any amounts paid by the Sponsor or the Servicer
     in respect of prepayment charges pursuant to this Agreement or (B) any
     amounts received in respect of any indemnification paid as a result of a
     prepayment charge being unenforceable in breach of the representations and
     warranties set forth in the Sale Agreement received during the related
     Prepayment Period;

          (ii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Net Swap Payments owed to
     the Swap Counterparty;

          (iii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Swap Termination Payment
     owed by the Issuing Entity to the Swap Counterparty (other than any
     Defaulted Swap Termination Payment);

          (iv) to each Class of the Class R and Class A Certificates, the
     Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each
     such Class; provided, however, if such amount is not sufficient to make a
     full distribution of the Current Interest and the aggregate Interest Carry
     Forward Amount to each of the Class R and Class A Certificates, such amount
     will be distributed pro rata among each Class of the Class R and Class A
     Certificates based on the ratio of (x) the Current Interest and Interest
     Carry Forward Amount for such Class to (y) the total amount of Current
     Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount for the Class R and Class A
     Certificates in the aggregate;

          (v) to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

                                      103

<PAGE>

          (vi) to the Class M-2 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (vii) to the Class M-3 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (viii) to the Class M-4 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (ix) to the Class M-5 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (x) to the Class M-6 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (xi) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (xii) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;

          (xiii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, the Current Interest and any
     Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class; and

          (xiv) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(e) hereof.

On each Distribution Date, subject to the proviso in (b)(iv) above, Interest
Funds received on the Group One Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed
to the Class R and Class A-1 Certificates and Interest Funds received on the
Group Two Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed to the Class A-2
Certificates, in each case, until the related Current Interest and Interest
Carry Forward Amount of each such Class of Certificates for such Distribution
Date has been paid in full. Thereafter, Interest Funds not required for such
distributions are available to be applied, if necessary, to the Class or Classes
of Certificates that are not related to such group of Mortgage Loans.

     (c) All amounts representing prepayment charges in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, and amounts paid by the Servicer in respect of prepayment charges
pursuant to this Agreement will be distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of
the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b).

     (d) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following
distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal to the Principal
Distribution Amount in the following order of priority, and each such
distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to Section
4.04(b) above shall have been made until such amount shall have been fully
distributed for such Distribution Date:

          (i) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Net Swap Payment owed by
     the Issuing Entity to the Swap Counterparty to the extent no paid pursuant
     to Section 4.04(b)(ii);

          (ii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Swap Termination Payment
     owed by the Issuing Entity to the Swap Counterparty (other than any
     Defaulted Swap Termination Payment) to the extent no paid pursuant to
     Section 4.04(b)(iii);

                                      104

          (iii) to the Class A and Class R Certificates, the Class A Principal
     Distribution Amount shall be distributed as follows:

               (1) the Group One Principal Distribution Amount shall be
               distributed sequentially as follows: first, to the Class R
               Certificate until its Certificate Principal Balance has been
               reduced to zero, and second, to the Class A-1 Certificates until
               the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates
               has been reduced to zero;

               (2) the Group Two Principal Distribution Amount shall be
               distributed as follows:

               (a)  concurrently, pro rata based on their respective Certificate
                    Principal Balance, (x) to the Class A-2A Certificates until
                    the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
                    to zero, and (y) to the Class A-2B Certificates and the
                    Class A-2C Certificates, sequentially, to the Class A-2B
                    Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
                    has been reduced to zero and then to the Class A-2C
                    Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
                    has been reduced to zero;

               (b)  then to the Class A-2D Certificates until the Certificate
                    Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

               (c)  then to the Class A-2E Certificates until the Certificate
                    Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

               provided, however, that on and after the Distribution Date on
               which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
               Subordinate Certificates and the Class C Certificates has been
               reduced to zero, any principal distributions allocated to the
               Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D and Class A-2E
               Certificates are required to be allocated pro rata, among such
               classes of Certificates, based on their respective Certificate
               Principal Balances, until their Certificate Principal Balances
               have been reduced to zero;

          (iv) sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2
     Certificates and the Class M-3 Certificates, in that order, until the
     Certificate Principal Balance of each such class has been reduced to zero,
     an amount equal to the Class M-1/M-2/M-3 Principal Distribution Amount;

          (v) to the Class M-4 Certificates, the Class M-4 Principal
     Distribution Amount;

          (vi) to the Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-5 Principal

                                      105

<PAGE>

          (xi) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(e) hereof.

     (e) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following
distributions up to the following amounts from the Certificate Account of the
remainders pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(xiv) and 4.04(d)(xi) hereof, and each
such distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to
Sections 4.04(b) and (d) above shall have been made until such remainders shall
have been fully distributed for such Distribution Date:

          (i) to the Class A and Class R Certificates, any amounts due as

     4.04(b)(iv), to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds;

          (ii) to the Subordinate Certificates, any amount due and in the same

          (xiii) to the Class A, Class R, Class M and Class B Certificates, on a
     pro rata basis, the Floating Rate Certificate Carryover for each such Class
     in proportion to such amounts; and

          (xiv) the remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(f) hereof.

     (f) on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the remainder

<PAGE>

          (iii) the remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(g) hereof.

     (g) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the remainder
pursuant to Section 4.04(f)(iii) hereof, (i) to the Trustee to reimburse amounts
or pay indemnification amounts owing to the Trustee from the Issuing Entity
pursuant to Section 8.06 to the extent such amounts shall have exceeded the cap
set forth in Section 8.06(c), and (ii) thereafter, to the Class R Certificate
and such distributions shall be made only after all preceding distributions
shall have been made until such remainder shall have been fully distributed.

     (h) On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to distributions on such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the Applied Realized Loss Amount
for the Certificates to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class C

          (i) to the Class C Certificates until the Class C Certificate

          (iii) to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class B-2 Certificate

          (v) to the Class M-6 Certificates until the Class M-6 Certificate

     Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and

          (x) to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Class M-1 Certificate
     Principal Balance is reduced to zero.

     (i) Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on
each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified
the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date or,
if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final
distribution, distributions with respect to

                                      107

<PAGE>

Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such
Depository in immediately available funds.

          All distributions or allocations made with respect to
Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be
allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion
to their respective Initial Certificate Principal Balances (or Percentage
Interests).

     (j) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute the Cap
Contracts on behalf of the Issuing Entity in the forms presented to it by the
Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents of such Cap
Contracts, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties
contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts at
closing shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Cap Contracts, the Trustee shall not be required to
make any payments to the Cap Contract Counterparty under the Cap Contracts. Any
payments received under the terms of the related Cap Contract will be available
to pay the holders of the related Classes of Certificates up to the amount of
any Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers remaining after all other distributions
required under this Section 4.04 are made on such Distribution Date, other than
Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers attributable to the fact that Applied
Realized Loss Amounts are not allocated to the Class A and Class R Certificates.
Any amounts received under the terms of any Cap Contract on a Distribution Date
that are not used to pay such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers will be
distributed to the holders of the Class C Certificates. Payments in respect of
such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers from proceeds of the Cap Contracts
shall be paid to the related Classes of Certificates, pro rata based upon such
Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers for each such Class of Offered
Certificates.

          (i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the
     Issuing Entity and the Certificateholders, the Cap Contract Account. On or
     prior to the related Cap Contract Termination Date, amounts, if any,
     received by the Trustee for the benefit of the Issuing Entity in respect of
     any Cap Contract shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Cap Contract
     Account and will be used to pay Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers on the
     related Classes of Certificates as provided in this Section 4.04(j). With
     respect to any Distribution Date on or prior to the related Cap Contract
     Termination Date, the amount, if any, payable by the Cap Contract
     Counterparty under the applicable Cap Contract will equal the product of
     (i) the excess of (x) One-Month Cap LIBOR (as determined by the Cap
     Contract Counterparty and subject to a cap equal to the rate with respect
     to such Distribution Date as shown under the heading "1ML Upper Collar" in
     the schedule to the applicable Cap Contract), over (y) the rate with
     respect to such Distribution Date as shown under the heading "1ML Lower
     Collar" in the schedule to the applicable Cap Contract, (ii) an amount
     equal to the lesser of (A) the related Cap Contract Notional Balance for
     such Distribution Date as shown in the schedule to the applicable Cap
     Contract and (B) the Certificate Principal Balance of (I) in the case of
     the Class A-1 Cap Contract, the Class A-1 and Class R Certificates, (II) in
     the case of the Class A-2 Cap Contract, the Class A-2 Certificates and
     (III) in the case of the Subordinate Certificate Cap Contract, the
     Subordinate Certificates, and (iii) the number of days in such Accrual
     Period, divided by 360. If a payment is made to the Issuing Entity under a
     Cap Contract and the Trustee is required to distribute excess amounts to
     the holders of the Class C Certificates as described above, the Trustee
     shall, on the monthly statement to Certificateholders described in Section
     4.05 below, report the amounts paid with respect to Floating Rate
     Certificate Carryovers and the amount due to the holders of the Class C
     Certificates.

          (ii) Amounts on deposit in the Cap Contract Account will remain
     uninvested pending distribution to Certificateholders.

                                      108

<PAGE>

          (iii) Each Cap Contract is scheduled to remain in effect until its
     respective Cap Contract Termination Date and will be subject to early
     termination only in limited circumstances. Such circumstances include
     certain insolvency or bankruptcy events in relation to the Cap Contract
     Counterparty (after a grace period of three Business Days, as defined in
     the applicable Cap Contract, after notice of such failure is received by
     the Cap Contract Counterparty) to make a payment due under the applicable
     Cap Contract, the failure by the Cap Contract Counterparty (after a cure
     period of twenty (20) days after notice of such failure is received) to
     perform any other agreement made by it under the applicable Cap Contract,
     the termination of the Trust Fund and the applicable Cap Contract becoming
     illegal or subject to certain kinds of taxation.

          (iv) The Cap Contract Counterparty and the Trustee will enter into a
     credit support annex in relation to the Cap Contracts to protect the
     Issuing Entity.

               Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of
     the Cap Contracts, the Cap Contract Counterparty may be required to post
     additional collateral in connection with its obligations under the Cap
     Contracts. In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee shall, when
     required, establish a Cap Posted Collateral Account on behalf of the
     holders of the Offered Certificates on the Closing Date.

               The Cap Contract Counterparty shall remit any Posted Collateral
     to the Trustee to the extent required under the Cap Contracts, and the
     Trustee shall, upon receipt of the Posted Collateral, deposit the Posted
     Collateral into the Cap Posted Collateral Account and shall hold such
     amounts in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cap Contracts.
     Where a termination event occurs with respect to the Cap Contract
     Counterparty under the Cap Contracts, or where the Cap Contract
     Counterparty fulfills certain obligations to the Issuing Entity such as
     finding a replacement cap contract counterparty or a guarantor that meets
     the criteria described in the Cap Contracts, the Trustee may be required to
     make payments from the Cap Posted Collateral Account to the Cap Contract
     Counterparty. Amounts held in the Cap Posted Collateral Account will not be
     part of the Trust Fund and will not be available for distribution to any
     Certificateholders.

     (k) In accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver a report (the "Remittance Report") to the Trustee in the form of a
computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Servicer and the
Trustee may agree from time to time) containing such data and information such
as to permit the Trustee to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders
and make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date.

     (l) On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be
established and maintained pursuant to this Agreement, as a separate trust, the
corpus of which shall be held by Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee for the
benefit of the holders of the Certificates as a segregated subtrust of the Trust
Fund. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall contain the Swap Account, which
shall be an Eligible Account, and funds deposited therein shall be held separate
and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including,
without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.
In no event shall any funds deposited in the Swap Account be credited to or made
available to any other account of the Trust Fund. The records of the Trustee
shall at all times reflect that the Supplemental Interest Trust is a subtrust of
the Trust Fund, the assets of which are segregated from other assets of the
Trust Fund.

          The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is hereby directed by the
Depositor to execute the Swap Agreement on behalf of the Issuing Entity in the
forms presented to it by the Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the
contents of such Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, the

                                      109

<PAGE>

representations and warranties contained therein. The Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee shall have all of the rights and protections of the Trustee
hereunder.

          The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall enforce all of the
rights of the Supplemental Interest Trust and exercise any remedies under the
Swap Agreement and, in the event the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of
the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined
in the Swap Agreement), find a replacement counterparty to enter into a
replacement swap agreement utilizing the amounts of the net Swap Termination
Payments received.

          For each Distribution Date, through and including the Distribution
Date in November 2010, the Trustee shall, based on the Significance Estimate
(which shall be provided in writing to the Trustee by the Depositor within five
(5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date), calculate the Significance
Percentage of the Swap Agreement. If on any such Distribution Date, the
Significance Percentage is equal to or greater than 9%, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Depositor and the Depositor, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
obtain the financial information required to be delivered by the Swap
Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement. If, on any succeeding
Distribution Date through and including the Distribution Date in November 2010,
the Significance Percentage is equal to or greater than 10%, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Depositor and the Depositor shall, within five (5) Business
Days of such Distribution Date, deliver to the Trustee the financial information
provided to it by the Swap Counterparty for inclusion in the Form 10-D relating
to such Distribution Date.

          Any Swap Termination Payment received by the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee shall be deposited in the Swap Account and shall be used to make
any upfront payment required under a replacement swap agreement and any upfront
payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be
used to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that a
replacement swap agreement cannot be obtained within thirty (30) days after
receipt by the Trustee of the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated
Swap Counterparty, the Trustee shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into
a separate, segregated non-interest bearing subtrust established by the Trustee
and the Trustee shall, on each Distribution Date following receipt of such Swap
Termination Payment, withdraw from such subtrust, an amount equal to the Net
Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Supplemental Interest
Trust by the original Swap Counterparty (computed in accordance with the
original Swap Agreement) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section
4.04(l)(i)-(viii) of this Agreement. Any such subtrust shall not be an asset of
any REMIC. Any amounts remaining in such subtrust shall be distributed to the
holders of the Class C Certificates on the Distribution Date following the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 and
(ii) November 25, 2010.

          On any Distribution Date (or in the case of any Net Swap Payments owed
to the Swap Counterparty, two "business days" (as defined in the Swap Agreement)
prior to such Distribution Date), any Swap Termination Payments or Net Swap
Payments owed to the Swap Counterparty will be paid out of, or any Net Swap
Payments or Swap Termination Payments received from the Swap Counterparty will
be deposited into, the Swap Account. The Supplemental Interest Trust will not be
an asset of any REMIC. Funds in the Swap Account within the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall be distributed in the following order of priority by the
Trustee:

          (i) to the Swap Counterparty, all Net Swap Payments, if any, owed to
     the Swap Counterparty for such Distribution Date;

          (ii) to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Termination Payment, other
     than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, if any, owed to the Swap
     Counterparty;

                                      110

          (iii) to each class of the Class A and Class R Certificates, on a pro
     rata basis, any Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with
     respect to such class to the extent unpaid;

          (iv) sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2
     Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the
     Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-6 Certificates, the Class B-1
     Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates, in
     that order, any Current Interest for such class to the extent unpaid;

          (v) sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2

     extent unpaid;

          (vi) to the Class A, Class R, Class M and Class B Certificates, to pay
     principal as described and in the same manner and order of priority as set
     forth in Sections 4.04(d)(iii) through 4.04(d)(x) in order to restore
     levels of the Overcollateralization Amount, and after giving effect to
     distributions from Principal Distribution Amount for each such Class;

          (vii) sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2
     Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the
     Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-6 Certificates, the Class B-1
     Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates, in
     that order, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for such class to the extent
     unpaid;

          (viii) to the Class A, Class R, Class M and Class B Certificates, any
     Floating Rate Certificate Carryover to the extent not paid based on the
     amount of such unpaid Floating Rate Certificate Carryover;

          (ix) to the Swap Counterparty, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment
     owed to the Swap Counterparty to the extent not already paid; and

          (x) to the Class C Certificates any remaining amount.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, after giving effect to
proposed distributions on any Distribution Date, the sum of the cumulative
amounts distributed pursuant to clause (vi) above and the cumulative amounts
distributed pursuant to clause (vii) above shall be limited to the aggregate
amount of cumulative Realized Losses incurred from the Cut-off Date through the
last day of the related Prepayment Period.

          Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Swap
Account within the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed pursuant to
the priorities set forth in this Section 4.04(l).

          With respect to the failure of the Swap Counterparty to perform any of
its obligations under the Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap Counterparty of
any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the Swap Agreement,
or the termination of the Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall send any notices and
make any demands required hereunder (to the extent that a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge or written notice of any such failure, breach
or termination).

          The Swap Counterparty and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will
enter into a credit support annex in relation to the Swap Agreement to protect
the Supplemental Interest Trust from

                                      111

<PAGE>

certain ratings downgrades that might hinder the ability of the Swap
Counterparty to continue its obligations under the Swap Agreement.

          Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty may be required to post additional
collateral in connection with its obligations under the Swap Agreement. In
connection with the foregoing, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall
establish, when required, a Swap Posted Collateral Account on behalf of the
holders of the Offered Certificates on the Closing Date.

          The Swap Counterparty shall remit any Posted Collateral to the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to the extent required under the Swap
Agreement, and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, upon receipt of
the Posted Collateral, deposit the Posted Collateral into the Swap Posted
Collateral Account and shall hold such amounts in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Swap Agreement. Where a termination event occurs with respect
to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, or where the Swap
Counterparty fulfills certain obligations to the Supplemental Interest Trust
such as finding a replacement swap counterparty or a guarantor that meets
established criteria of the Rating Agencies, the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee may be required to make payments from the Swap Posted Collateral Account
to the Swap Counterparty if amounts are due to such party under the terms and
provisions of the Swap Agreement. Amounts held in the Swap Posted Collateral
Account will not be part of the Trust Fund and will not be available for
distribution to any Certificateholders.

provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate

                                      117

<PAGE>

and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage
Interest.

     At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of a Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to a Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required. All
Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be
canceled and subsequently destroyed by a Trustee in accordance with such
Trustee's customary procedures.

     (b) No Transfer of a Class C or Class P Certificate shall be made unless
such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities
laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption
from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
Transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall (except with
respect to the initial transfer of a Class C or Class P Certificate by Merrill
Lynch & Co. or, in connection with the transfer of a Class C or Class P
Certificate to the indenture trustee under an Indenture pursuant to which NIM
Notes are issued) each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding
the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit F (the "Transferor
Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either
Exhibit G (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit H (the "Rule 144A Letter") or
(ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trustee that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Class C
or Class P Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such
Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with
the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding
sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information in the
possession of the Trustee regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class C or
Class P Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee 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 a Certificate that is neither an ERISA Restricted
Certificate nor a Class R Certificate shall be registered unless the transferee
provides the Trustee with a representation that either (i) such transferee is
not, and is not acting for, on behalf of or with any assets of, an employee
benefit plan or other arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or plan subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) until the termination of the Swap Agreement,
the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief
under any of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code,

                                      118

<PAGE>

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38,
PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23.

     No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate may
be made unless the Trustee has received (I) a representation that the transferee
is not an employee benefit plan or other arrangement subject to Title I of
ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any
state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the
foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively,
"Plan"), or is directly or indirectly acquiring the ERISA Restricted Certificate
or Class R Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any assets of any such Plan,
or (II) solely with respect to ERISA Restricted Certificates, (A) if the
Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a
representation that such transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring
the Certificate with assets of an "insurance company general account," as
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt
under Section I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (B) solely in the case of any such
Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor, and upon which the Trustee shall be entitled
to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will
not constitute or result or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the code, or a violation of Similar Law, and
will not subject the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in
addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor.

     Except in the case of Definitive Certificates, the representations set
forth in the immediately two preceding paragraphs of this Subsection 5.02(b),
other than clause (II)(B) in the immediately preceding paragraph, shall be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of a
Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest
in any Class of Certificate). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the
contrary, any purported transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan
without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration
of transfer of any Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(b) nor shall the Trustee be under any liability for making any payments due
on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from
any Holder of any Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such
Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(b) all payments made on such
Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments
so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Certificate that is not a Plan.

     (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights
of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:

          (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
     R 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.

          (ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be purchased,
     transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, except in accordance with the
     provisions hereof. No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be
     registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and no Transfer
     of any Class R Certificate shall be registered unless, in addition to the
     certificates

                                      119

<PAGE>

     required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the
     Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
     Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form
     attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferor
     in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. In the absence of a contrary
     instruction from the transferor of a Class R Certificate, declaration (11)
     in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit may be left blank. If the
     transferor requests by written notice to the Trustee prior to the date of
     the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration (11)
     in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit be used, then the requirements of
     this Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall not have been satisfied unless the Transfer
     Affidavit includes such other form of declaration.

          (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
     Class R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
     other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
     Interest in a Class R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
     any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in
     connection with any Transfer of a Class R Certificate and (C) not to
     Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate or to cause the
     Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any other
     Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
     Transferee. Further, no transfer, sale or other disposition of any
     Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be made to a person who is
     not a U.S. Person (within the meaning of section 7701 of the Code) unless
     such person furnishes the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed
     and effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor
     thereto) and the Trustee consents to such transfer, sale or other
     disposition in writing.

          (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
     a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
     5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
     purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
     a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
     5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
     all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
     Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
     liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R
     Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
     Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
     Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
     the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
     after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee shall be
     entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R
     Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
     became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
     Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class R Certificate at and
     after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall
     be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted
     Transferee of such Certificate.

          (v) At the option of the Holder of the Class R Certificate, the Class
     SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest, and the Residual Interest may be
     severed and represented by separate certificates (with the separate
     certificate that represents the Residual Interest also representing all
     rights of the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to an
     interest rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the REMIC
     Pass-Through Rate); provided, however, that such separate certification may
     not occur until the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
     Trustee (at the expense of the Holder of the Class R Certificate) to the
     effect that separate certification in the form and manner proposed would
     not result in the imposition of federal tax upon the Issuing Entity or any
     of the REMICs provided for herein or cause any of the REMICs provided for
     herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and provided further, that the
     provisions of Sections 5.02(b) and (c) will apply to each such separate
     certificate as if the separate certificate

                                      120

<PAGE>

     were a Class R Certificate. If, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it
     is necessary to preserve the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for
     herein, the Class SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest, and the Residual
     Interest shall be severed and represented by separate Certificates (with
     the separate certificate that represents the Residual Interest also
     representing all rights of the Class R Certificate to distributions
     attributable to an interest rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of
     the REMIC Pass-Through Rate).

     The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Issuing Entity, the
Trustee or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result
in the imposition of any tax on the Issuing Entity, any REMIC provided for
herein, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment
of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to and
furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record
ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class R Certificate is not
transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class R
Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

     (d) The transferor of the Class R Certificate shall notify the Trustee in
writing upon the transfer of the Class R Certificate.

     (e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates, opinions and other
writings referred to above in this Section 5.02 shall not be an expense of the
Issuing Entity, the Depositor or the Trustee.

     SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Trustee to save
the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates
surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 5.03 shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures
without liability on its part.

     SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                                      121
<PAGE>

     SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.

     If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such
Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Depositor shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor or such
Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the
Certificateholders of the Issuing Entity held by the Trustee, if any. The
Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate,
agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

     SECTION 5.06. Book-Entry Certificates.

     The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the
Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates,
except as provided in Section 5.08. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08:

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

     (b) the Depositor and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the
Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions)
as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates;

     (c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by
the Trustee except to another Depository;

     (d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between the Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.08, the Depository will
make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to
such Depository Participants;

     (e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants;

     (f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and

     (g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control.

                                      122

<PAGE>

     For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate
Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount
of such Class of Certificates.

     SECTION 5.07. Notices to Depository.

     Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of the Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates
have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been
issued to the related Certificate Owners and the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications to the Depository.

     SECTION 5.08. Definitive Certificates.

     If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any
Certificates, (a) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee that the
Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such
Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b)
the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Trustee that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the
Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the
Trustee and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that
the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such
Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners of such Class requesting the same. The
Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates
to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied
by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

     SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its
office at 60 Livingston Avenue, Mail Code EP-MN-WS3D, St. Paul, Minnesota
55107-2292, Attention: Structured Finance/SURF 2006-BC5, as offices for such
purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders
of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                         THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

     SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicer.

     The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon
and undertaken by them herein.

     SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.

     Except as provided in the next paragraph, the Depositor and the Servicer
will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation or banking association under the laws of the United States or under
the laws of one of the States thereof and will each obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.

     Any Person into which the Depositor or Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor
or 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 (except for the execution of an
assumption agreement where such succession is not effected by operation of law);
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to a Servicer shall be
qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of,
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

     SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and
Others.

     None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Issuing Entity or the Certificateholders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the
Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor 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 Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be
indemnified by the Issuing Entity and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense, incurred in connection with the performance of their duties under
this agreement or incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial
proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense (i) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) which does not constitute
an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its respective duties hereunder and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that either of the
Depositor or the Servicer may, in its discretion, undertake any such action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Servicer and the
Certificateholders hereunder.

                                      124

<PAGE>

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be, expenses, costs and liabilities of the Issuing
Entity, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.08 hereof.

     SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.

     The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
is appointed and has assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such resignation shall not relieve
the Servicer of any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03
as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.

     The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge
and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer's right, title and interest
in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit
of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Event of Default exists, agree
that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter
signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its
designee as successor servicer but only if such successor servicer meets the
requirements of a successor servicer under this Agreement and agrees to be
subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof,
the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire
amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer
pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.

     SECTION 6.05. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.

     The Servicer shall, for so long as it acts as servicer under this
Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer
hereunder, and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents. Each such policy and bond shall, together, meet the requirements of
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from the Sponsor. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon
request with reasonable notice, with copies of such policies and fidelity bond
or a certification from the insurance provider evidencing such policies and
fidelity bond. The Servicer may be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. In the event that any such
policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall use its reasonable
commercial efforts to obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an
insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of
such replacement. The Servicer shall ensure that any such policy or fidelity
bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Trustee.

                        DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICER

     SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.

     "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:

                                      125

<PAGE>

          (i) any failure by the Servicer to make any Advance to deposit in the
     Collection Account or the Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any
     payment (excluding a payment required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof)
     required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall
     continue unremedied for three Business Days and, with respect to a payment
     required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof, for one Business Day, after
     the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to
     the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor; or

          (ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any material
     respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
     Servicer contained in this Agreement or any representation or warranty
     shall prove to be untrue, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied
     for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of
     such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the
     Depositor; or

          (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
     having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any
     insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
     similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
     shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall
     have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60)
     consecutive days; or

          (iv) consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a receiver or
     liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets
     and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or
     all or substantially all of the property of the Servicer; or

          (v) admission by the Servicer in writing of its inability to pay its
     debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of,
     or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
     reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
     creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

          (vi) any failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required
     time period, its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.22 of this
     Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) 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 any
     other party to this Agreement.

     If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Servicer, then, and
in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied within the applicable grace period, or solely with respect to
clause (i) above by 5:00 p.m. on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may,
or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall, by notice in writing
to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, subject to and in accordance with
Section 6.04 hereof, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee as successor servicer. To the extent
the Event of Default resulted from the failure of the Servicer to make a
required Advance, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall
thereupon make any Advance described in Section 4.01 hereof subject to Section
3.04 hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and
all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and

                                      126

<PAGE>

related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account,
or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer and
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an
Event of Default or an event that, with notice, passage of time, other action or
any combination of the foregoing would be an Event of Default, such notice to be
provided in any event within two Business Days of such occurrence.

     Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection
of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice
terminating the Servicer's rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Servicer would
have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii), and any other
amounts payable to the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior
to the termination of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of
the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such
termination.

     SECTION 7.02. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 7.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

     On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, to the extent provided in
Section 3.04, be the successor 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 and applicable law
including the obligation to make advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, subject to the last paragraph of Section 7.01, as
applicable, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation and reimbursement
for costs and expenses that the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder
if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which successor does not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency 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. Any successor
servicer shall be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000,
and that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to
the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and
assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other
than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each
Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. No appointment of a
successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee shall
have consented thereto, and written notice of such proposed appointment shall
have been provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall
not resign as servicer until a successor servicer has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting,

                                      127

<PAGE>

shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder.
The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any
delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case
caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in
delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

     In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor
hereby agree that within ten (10) Business Days or delivery to the Trustee by
the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the
Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor servicer (provided that
at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee
meets the requirements of a successor servicer set forth above) and the
Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05.

     SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.

     (a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer,
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
to each Rating Agency.

     (b) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

     The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. In case an Event of Default or other default by the
Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee,
shall, at the direction of the majority of the Certificateholders, or 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, and subject
to the

                                      128

<PAGE>

foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

     The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their
face, to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not
to conform, on its face, to the requirements of this Agreement in a material
manner, the Trustee shall notify the person providing such Agreement of such
non-conformance, and if the instrument is not corrected to conform to the
requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders.

     No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own misconduct, its negligent failure to perform its obligations in
compliance with this Agreement, or any liability that would be imposed by reason
of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided, however, that:

          (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
     curing of all such Events of Default that 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, individually
     or as Trustee, 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 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 that it reasonably believed in good faith to be genuine and
     to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
     arising hereunder;

          (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, for
     an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
     Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent or
     acted in bad faith or with willful misfeasance;

          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee,
     with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
     good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of each Class of
     Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Rights of such
     Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
     for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
     conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and

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

     The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint,
claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged
to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of
the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint,
claim, demand, notice or

                                      129

<PAGE>

other document (i) which is delivered to the Trustee, (ii) of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge and (iii) which contains information
sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property
to which such document related to is a Mortgaged Property.

     SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

          (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
     acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, 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 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 of its choice and any advice
     or 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;

          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, 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;

          (iv) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
     after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
     Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
     matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
     opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
     paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of
     each Class of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting
     Rights of such Class;

          (v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
     perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
     accountants or attorneys;

          (vi) the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds or
     otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
     duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
     repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not
     assured to it;

          (vii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, for
     any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than
     as issuer of the investment security or as provided for in Section
     3.05(g));

          (viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event
     of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
     written notice thereof;

          (ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
     investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or
     defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
     or direction 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 that may be incurred therein or thereby; and

                                      130

<PAGE>

          (x) if requested by the Servicer, the Trustee may appoint the Servicer
     as the trustee's attorney-in-fact in order to carry out and perform certain
     activities that are necessary or appropriate for the servicing and
     administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Such
     appointment shall be evidenced by a power of attorney in such form as may
     be agreed to by the Trustee and the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no
     liability for any action or inaction of the Servicer in connection with
     such power of attorney and the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer
     for all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
     connection with the Servicer's use or misuse of such powers of attorney.

     (b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the
trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.

     (c) [Reserved]

     SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Mortgage Loans.

     The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Mortgage Loan or related
document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and authentication
of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor
or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Collection Account or Certificate Account by the Depositor or the
Servicer.

     SECTION 8.04. 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 the
Trustee.

     SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to earnings on or investment income with
respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 8.06. Indemnification of Trustee; Expenses.

     (a) The Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and
agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Issuing Entity for any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding or
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder,
including any applicable fees and expenses payable hereunder and the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided
that:

          (i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the
     Depositor and the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee
     shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure to so notify shall not
     relieve the Issuing Entity of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee;
     however, any reasonable delay by the Trustee to provide written notice to
     the Depositor

                                      131

<PAGE>

     and the Holders promptly after the Trustee shall have obtained knowledge of
     a claim shall not relieve the Issuing Entity of the obligation to indemnify
     the Trustee under this Section 8.06;

          (ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall
     cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense;

          (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.06,
     the Issuing Entity shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by
     the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which
     consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

          (iv) any such loss, liability or expense to be indemnified by the
     Issuing Entity must constitute an "unanticipated expense" of the Issuing
     Entity within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
     1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

     The provisions of this Section 8.06 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be construed
to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any
environmental law.

     (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advancements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons not
regularly in its employment), except any such expenses, disbursements and
advancements that either (i) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct or (ii) do not constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

     (c) The Trustee's right to indemnification and reimbursement shall be
subject to a cap of $300,000, excluding any Servicing Transfer Costs and any
auction expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with Section 9.01(a)(i),
in the aggregate in any calendar year; provided, however, that such cap shall
apply only if NIM Notes have been issued and are outstanding and shall cease to
apply after the date on which any NIM Notes are paid in full. Any amounts not in
excess of this cap may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Certificate Account
at any time.

     (d) The Trustee shall be further indemnified by the Issuing Entity for and
held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in
connection with, the provisions set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.01
hereof, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonably legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending
itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating
to the provisions of such paragraph.

     SECTION 8.07. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

     The Trustee hereunder shall, at all times, be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating that would
not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective ratings of any
Class of Certificates below the ratings issued on the Closing Date (or having
provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such
reduction). If such corporation or association 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 8.07
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of

                                      132

<PAGE>

this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 8.08 hereof. The corporation or national banking
association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships
with the Depositor and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation
cannot be an Affiliate of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as
successor to the Servicer.

     SECTION 8.08. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

     The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by (1) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and by
mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register and
each Rating Agency, not less than sixty (60) days before the date specified in
such notice when, subject to Section 8.09, such resignation is to take effect,
and (2) acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee in accordance with
Section 8.09 and meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.

     If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as 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, or
(iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Issuing Entity by any state in
which the Trustee or the Issuing Entity is located, (B) the imposition of such
tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the
Trustee fails to indemnify the Issuing Entity against such tax, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer
and one copy of which shall be delivered to the successor trustee.

     The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of all Classes of
Certificates upon failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder
may at any time remove the Trustee and the Depositor shall appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the Successor Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.08 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.09 hereof.

     SECTION 8.09. Successor Trustee.

     Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 hereof shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein.

                                      133

<PAGE>

     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such
notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.

     SECTION 8.10. 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 all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.07 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding (except for the execution of an assumption agreement where such
succession is not effected by operation of law).

     SECTION 8.11. 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 Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note 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 Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.11, 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. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of any co-trustee
appointed at the request of the Trustee provided that such co-trustee has been
appointed with due care. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do
so, 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 8.07 and no notice to Certificateholders of
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.09.

     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, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this
     Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, 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

                                      134

<PAGE>

     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
     Fund 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 Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
     any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

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

     SECTION 8.12. Tax Matters.

     (a) It is intended that each of the REMICs provided for herein shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to
allow each such REMIC to qualify as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. It is also intended
that each of the grantor trusts provided for in Section 2.07 hereof shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to
allow each such grantor trust to qualify as, a grantor trust under the
provisions of Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each of the REMICs
provided for herein and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare 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 or any successor form adopted by
the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein, containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be
furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such
times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty (30) days
of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for each of
the REMICs provided for herein; (c) make or cause to be made

                                      135

<PAGE>

elections, on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein to be treated as
a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMICs for their first taxable years
(and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or
cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions or other applicable tax law, including
without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the
Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of
tax imposed on the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other
middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through
entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information
may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they
are under its control conduct the affairs of each of the REMICs and grantor
trusts provided for herein at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so
as to maintain the status of each of the REMICs provided for herein as a REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions and the status of each of the grantor trusts provided
for herein as a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the
Code; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any
action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs
provided for herein or result in the imposition of tax upon any such REMIC; (h)
not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that
would cause the termination of the grantor trust status under Subpart E, Part I
of Subchapter J of the Code of any of the grantor trusts provided for herein or
result in the imposition of tax upon any such grantor trust; (i) pay, from the
sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.12(a), the amount of
any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as
described below, imposed on each of the REMICs provided for herein prior to the
termination of the Trust Fund 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); (j) sign or cause to be signed federal, state
or local income tax or information returns; (k) maintain records relating to
each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each of the REMICs
and grantor trusts provided for herein, and the fair market value and adjusted
basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (l) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any of the REMICs provided for herein, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of any of the REMICs provided for herein,
and otherwise act on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein in
relation to any tax matter involving any of such REMICs or any controversy
involving the Trust Fund.

     In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein,
the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten
(10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, request in order to
enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor
hereby agrees to indemnify the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.

                                      136

<PAGE>

     In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any of
the REMICs provided for herein as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of any of such REMICs as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by
(i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the
location of the Trustee, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Trustee) to the
extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other
party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the
location of such other party or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that
any liable party here fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses
(i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts (other than amounts
derived by the Issuing Entity from a payment on any Cap Contract or amounts
received by the Supplemental Interest Trust as payments on the Swap Agreement)
otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata)
pursuant to Section 4.04, and second with amounts (other than amounts derived by
the Issuing Entity from a payment on any Cap Contract or amounts received by the
Supplemental Interest Trust as payments on the Swap Agreement) otherwise to be
distributed to all other Certificateholders in the following order of priority:
first, to the Class C Certificates (pro rata), second, to the Class B-3
Certificates (pro rata), third, to the Class B-2 Certificates (pro rata),
fourth, to the Class B-1 Certificates (pro rata), fifth, to the Class M-6
Certificates (pro rata), sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates (pro rata),
seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates (pro rata), eighth, to the Class M-3
Certificates (pro rata), ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates (pro rata), tenth,
to the Class M-1 Certificates (pro rata) and eleventh, to the Class A
Certificates (pro rata). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Class R Certificate, the
Trustee is hereby authorized pursuant to such instruction to retain on any
Distribution Date, from the Holders of the Class R Certificate (and, if
necessary, from the Holders of all other Certificates in the priority specified
in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an
amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Trustee agrees to promptly notify in
writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date
for the payment thereof.

     (b) Each of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee agrees not to
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for
herein or result in the imposition of a tax upon any of the REMICs provided for
herein.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   TERMINATION

     SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage
Loans.

     (a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust
Fund shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the successful completion of the
auction referred to in Section 9.01(b), (ii) the exercise by the Servicer of the
Clean Up Call on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean Up Call Date and
(iii) the later of (x) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all REO Property and (y) the distribution to Certificateholders
of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as
applicable. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the
earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of
the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States
to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest
Possible Maturity Date.

     (b)  (i) Any termination pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i) shall be effected
by the auction by the Trustee of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
via a solicitation of bids in accordance with the

                                      137

<PAGE>

auction procedures set forth in Exhibit N. The Trustee shall accept the highest
such bid, provided that such bid equals or exceeds the amount described in the
definition of "Auction Termination Price." Any sale pursuant to such auction
process must occur no earlier than the second day of the calendar month that
includes the Distribution Date on which the proceeds of such sale will be
distributed to the Certificateholders.

          (ii) If no sale under Section 9.01(a)(i) occurs, the Servicer may, at
its option, terminate the Trust Fund on any Distribution Date by purchasing all
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the price equal to the Clean Up Call
Price.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Auction Termination
Amount received by the Trustee upon the completion of a successful auction or
the Clean Up Call Price paid by the Servicer shall be deposited by the Trustee
directly into the Certificate Account promptly upon receipt of such amount by
the Trustee. Any Clean Up Call Price to be paid by the Servicer shall be paid by
the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only an amount equal to the
Auction Termination Price or the Clean Up Call Price, reduced in each case by
the portion thereof consisting of any Swap Termination Payment (such portion,
the "Swap Optional Termination Payment"), shall be made available for
distribution to the Certificates. The Swap Optional Termination Payment shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee from the Certificate Account and remitted to the
Supplemental Interest Trust for payment to the Swap Counterparty. The Swap
Optional Termination Payment shall not be part of any REMIC and shall not be
paid into any account which is part of any REMIC.

     (c) If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in
Section 9.01(b)(i) or there is a Clean Up Call pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(ii),
then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall constitute a plan of
complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code, and the
Trustee shall release to the winning bidder of the auction or the Servicer
pursuant to the Clean Up Call, upon the Trustee's receipt of the Auction
Termination Price or the Clean Up Call Price and the distribution by the Trustee
of such amounts in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, the Mortgage Files
pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased and take such other actions as
the winning bidder or such purchaser may reasonably request to effect the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the winning bidder or such purchaser.

     In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph,
the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account
all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to
be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08), which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

     Any purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Certificate Account
of the Auction Termination Amount paid by the winning bidder if an Auction
Termination has occurred or the Clean Up Call Price in the event the Servicer
exercises a Clean Up Call and only following the delivery of an Opinion of
Counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee that such termination is
a "Qualified Liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code.

     (d) The right of the Depositor to direct the Trustee to effect an Auction
Termination or of the Servicer to effect a Clean Up Call pursuant to clause
(a)(i) or (a)(ii) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating
ten percent (10%) or less of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date.

                                      138

<PAGE>

     (e) In the event that the Trustee is unable to complete a sale at the
Auction Termination, the Servicer may terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all
the Mortgage Loans, and REO Properties at a price equal to the Clean Up Call
Price on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean Up Call Date, by exercising
a Clean Up Call.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, no Auction
Termination or Clean Up Call shall be effected at any time during which NIM
Notes are outstanding if the Class C Certificateholder notifies the Trustee in
writing that the Class C Certificateholder does not consent to such proposed
Auction Termination or Clean Up Call. The parties hereto intend that the portion
of any amount received upon an Auction Termination or Clean Up Call that is
attributable to clause (D) of the definition of Auction Termination Price or
clause (d) of the definition of Clean Up Call Price and required to cover what
would otherwise be a shortfall in the amounts described in clause (D) of the
definition of Auction Termination Price or clause (d) of the definition of Clean
Up Call Price shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as having been
paid by the winning bidder of the auction or the Servicer, as applicable,
directly to the Class C Certificateholder (rather than having been paid to any
REMIC) to induce the Class C Certificateholder to consent to the Auction
Termination or Clean Up Call, as applicable.

     SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.

     If on any Determination Date, (i) the Trustee determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Account, the Trustee shall send a final
distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Trustee
determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final
distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
within seven (7) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final
distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made
on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
specified in such notice. If the Trustee is able to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i), or if the Servicer conducts a Clean Up Call and
terminates the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii) or 9.01(e), at least
ten (10) days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Servicer of
the date such electing party intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the
applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

     Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of
the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee
by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no
later than the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the month of such
final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon
which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the location of
the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and
(c) 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 therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice
to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

     In the event such notice is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in
the Collection Account to be deposited in the Certificate Account on the
Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the
final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with
respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for
Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Trustee the Mortgage
Files for the Mortgage Loans.

                                      139

<PAGE>

     Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts
allocable to such Certificates held in the Certificate Account in the order and
priority set forth in Section 4.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

     In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholder
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that
remain subject hereto. Upon payment to the Class R Certificateholder of such
funds and assets, the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with
respect thereto.

     SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.

     (a) In the event the Trustee is able to effect an Auction Termination or
the Servicer conducts a Clean Up Call as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust
Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee, at the expense of the Servicer to the effect that the
failure of the Issuing Entity to comply with the requirements of this Section
9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
of any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in section 860F of the Code,
or (ii) cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

          (i) The Depositor shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and
     notify the Trustee thereof, which shall in turn specify the first day of
     such period in a statement attached to the final tax returns of each of the
     REMICs provided for herein pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
     1.860F-1. The Depositor shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified
     liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder,
     as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the
     Issuing Entity;

          (ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
     time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Depositor as
     agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for
     cash; and

          (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
     Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
     distributed or credited, to the Class R Certificateholder all cash on hand
     (other than cash retained to meet outstanding claims known to the Trustee),
     and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time, whereupon the Trustee
     shall have no further duties or obligations with respect to sums
     distributed or credited to the Class R Certificateholder.

     (b) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Depositor to specify the 90-day liquidation period for the Trust
Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.

                                      140

<PAGE>

     (c) The Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign a
plan of complete liquidation prepared and delivered to it by the Depositor upon
the written request of the Depositor, and the receipt of Opinion of Counsel
referred to in Section 9.03(a)(i) and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, prior to termination
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer may prepare a reconciliation of all Advances and
Servicing Advances made by it for which it has not been reimbursed and a
reasonable estimate of all additional Servicing Advances and other costs for
which it would be entitled to be reimbursed if the Trust Fund were not being
terminated, including without limitation, any Servicing Advances and other costs
arising under Section 6.03, and the Servicer may recover these Advances,
Servicing Advances and estimated Servicing Advances and other costs from the
Collection Account (to the extent that such recovery of Servicing Advances,
estimated Servicing Advances and other costs constitutes "unanticipated
expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)).

     (e) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, unless the Servicer
previously has notified the Trustee that it has entered into a servicing
agreement for the servicing after the termination date of the Trust Fund assets,
at least twenty (20) days prior to any termination of the Trust Fund, the
Depositor shall notify the Servicer in writing to transfer the assets of the
Trust Fund as of the termination date to the person specified in the notice, or
if such person is not then known, to continue servicing the assets until the
date that is twenty (20) days after the termination date and on the termination
date, the Depositor shall notify the Servicer of the person to whom the assets
should be transferred on that date. In the latter event the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover its servicing fee and any advances made for the interim
servicing period from the collections on the assets which have been purchased
from the Trust and the new owner of the assets, and the agreements for the new
owner to obtain ownership of the assets of the Trust Fund shall so provide.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SECTION 10.01. Amendment.

     This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,

          (i) To cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake,

          (ii) To correct, modify or supplement any provision therein which may
     be inconsistent with any other provision herein,

          (iii) To add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
     arising under this Agreement, or

          (iv) To modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or
     provisions contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that, in the
     case of clauses (iii) and (iv), such amendment will not, as evidenced by an
     Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect, adversely
     affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder; provided,
     further, however, that such amendment will be deemed to not adversely
     affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder if the Person
     requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating
     that such amendment will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its
     rating of any Class of the Certificates, it being understood and agreed
     that any such letter in and of itself

                                      141

<PAGE>

     will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
     amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
     affecting any such rating. In addition, this Agreement may be amended from
     time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the
     consent of any of the Certificateholders and without delivery of an Opinion
     of Counsel to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee may at any time
and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of
its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain
the qualification of any of the REMICs provided for herein as REMICs under the
Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to the Code that would be
a claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the
Certificates, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to
maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of such a tax.

     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates affected thereby
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights, for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66
2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii) reduce the aforesaid
percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then
outstanding.

     Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be
an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment
is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund, any of the REMICs provided for herein or the Certificateholders or cause
any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.

     Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee or upon the written request of
the Trustee to the Servicer, the Servicer shall furnish written notification of
the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating
Agency.

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

     Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Servicer to
enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to
the Trustee or the Servicer that (i) such

                                      142

<PAGE>

amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
conditions precedent for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder, the Cap Contract Counterparty or the
Swap Counterparty or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding
clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.

     The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplement,
modification or waiver which affects its rights, duties or obligations
hereunder.

     The Trustee shall not enter into any amendment to this Agreement that would
have a materially adverse effect on the Swap Counterparty or the Cap Contract
Counterparty without first obtaining the consent of the Swap Counterparty or the
Cap Contract Counterparty, respectively.

     SECTION 10.02. Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF.

     SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.

     It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies
and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private
mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to
the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It
is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security
interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired.

     The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders 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
assets of the Trust Fund, 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. The Depositor shall
arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in
connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 10.06. Severability of Provisions.

     If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and

                                      144

<PAGE>

shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of
this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

     SECTION 10.07. Assignment.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided pursuant to Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.

     SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

     The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.

     No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of 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
party 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 an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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 and 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
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

     SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.

     The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Depositor, subject to a reasonable confidentiality
agreement, or the Trustee during the Servicer's normal business hours, to
examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants
selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances
and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees,
agents, counsel and independent public accountants (and by this provision the
Servicer hereby authorizes such

                                      145

<PAGE>

accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and
accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor
or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party
requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the
Servicer.

     SECTION 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.

     It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Issuing Entity, that the interests in
the Issuing Entity represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for
any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication
thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully
paid.

     SECTION 10.11. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 10.12. [RESERVED]

     SECTION 10.13. Third Party Rights.

     The Cap Contract Counterparty shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of
this Agreement regarding provisions related to payments owed to the Cap Contract
Counterparty so long as any of the Cap Contracts remains in effect. The Swap
Counterparty is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall
have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Swap
Agreement remains in effect.

     SECTION 10.14. Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities.

     (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other
facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the documentation for
which complies with Section 10.14(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns
or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all
Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a
"Lender"), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in
either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other
assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may
include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund all the 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 shall be required before the
Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the
Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance
Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or
Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required
by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue
of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any
Servicer's Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed
against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any
payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing
any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

     (b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the
related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set
forth in Section 10.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance Facility Notice"),
stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b)

                                      146

<PAGE>

the identity of the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to
Section 10.14(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(a) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed
Advances and/or Servicing Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts"). Advance
Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances
and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse
itself in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, assuming the Servicer had made
the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of
amounts payable to a successor servicer in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof
to the extent permitted under Section 10.14(e) below.

     (c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on
behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer's Assignee, shall be
entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 4.01 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the
Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the
manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice,
the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any
Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's Assignee shall immediately have
the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement
Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the
Servicer and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement
of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be
entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, and (ii) none of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be
entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or
Servicer's Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 4.01
hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of
the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such
termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section
10.05 hereof. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with
respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor,
as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the
Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement
Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor,
the Trustee, any successor servicer and the Issuing Entity for any claim, loss,
liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing
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 Depositor, the Trustee or any successor servicer, as the case may be, or
failure by the successor servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, 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, as the case may be, 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. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan
basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advance Financing 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) [Reserved]

     (e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on
the one hand, and a successor servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any,
on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with
respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance
shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a "first-in, first
out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee shall have received some or all
of an

                                      147

<PAGE>

Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that
were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related
Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer's Assignee shall be
required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each
Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to
be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing
Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement
Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or
Servicer's Assignee.

     (f) For purposes of any Officer's Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant
to Section 4.01, any Non-Recoverable Advance or Non-Recoverable Servicing
Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any
predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing
Advance theretofore made has become a Non-Recoverable Advance or Non-Recoverable
Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such
determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have
been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.

     (g) Any amendment to this Section 10.14 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 10.14, including amendments to
add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 10.01 hereof.
All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each party
hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties
hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing
Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any
Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash
flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances
and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee
and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility,
obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by
the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting
to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as
reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance
Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the
Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration
of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing
Person.

be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such

Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a
manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders

of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will include multiple "real
estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC") in a tiered REMIC

of the REMICs included in the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent

     The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage

for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Holders for any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly

be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such

material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.

Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a
manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of
such Class or (iii) change the percentage specified in clause (ii) of the third

of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC") in a tiered REMIC
structure. The REMIC Regular Interests will represent "regular interests" in one
of the REMICs included in the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent

     The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and

registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an

each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a

     The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look
solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit enhancements
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Holders for any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly

     No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor and the Trustee may
treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund evidenced thereby

other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor nor the Trustee will be
affected by notice to the contrary.

Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions therein which may
be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such

<PAGE>

action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.

     The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a
manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of
such Class or (iii) change the percentage specified in clause (ii) of the third
paragraph of Section 10.01 of the Agreement, without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will include multiple "real
estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC") in a tiered REMIC
structure. The REMIC Regular Interests will represent "regular interests" in one
of the REMICs included in the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent
the sole class of "residual interest" in each of the REMICs.

     The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and

and Prospectus, dated September 8, 2006.

     1. We certify that (a) we are not a disqualified organization and (b) we
are not purchasing such Class R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified
organization; for this purpose the term "disqualified organization" means the
United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign
government, any international organization, any agency or instrumentality of any

the foregoing for purposes of Section 168(h)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), any organization (other than a cooperative
described in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from taxation under the
Code (unless such organization is subject to tax on excess inclusions) and any
organization that is described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code. We
understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable
for an excise tax imposed upon transfers to disqualified organizations.

     2. We certify that (a) we have historically paid our debts as they became
due, (b) we intend, and believe that we will be able, to continue to pay our

we will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty) of ours or another U.S. taxpayer.

     3. We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Class R
Certificate and:(1)

     ___ The Class R Certificate will be registered in our name.

     4. We certify that we are not an employee benefit plan or other arrangement
subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"), a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject
to state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the

assets of a Plan.

     5. We certify that (i) we are a U.S. person or (ii) we will hold the Class
R Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States and have furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly
completed and effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form
at the time and in the manner required by the Code; for this purpose the term
"U.S. person" means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation,

of the source of its income, or a trust if a court within the United States is

decisions of the trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury
regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible
to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons). We agree that any breach by us of this
certification shall render the transfer of any interest in the Class R
Certificate to us absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the
Class R Certificate to vest in us.

     6. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer
any interest in the Class R Certificate, we will transfer such interest in the
Class R Certificate only (a) to a transferee that (i) is not a disqualified

                                        860E(e)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code
                                        of 1986, as amended, and (ii) certain
                                        provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
                                        Agreement

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that the following is true:

(1)  He or she is an officer of _________________________ (the "Transferee"),

(2)  the Transferee's Employer Identification number is _______________________,

(3)  the Transferee is not a "disqualified organization" (as defined below), has
     no plan or intention of becoming a disqualified organization, and is not
     acquiring any of its interest in the Specialty Underwriting and Residential
     Finance Trust, Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-BC5,
     Class R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified organization or any other
     entity,

(4)  unless Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc.("MLMI") has consented to the
     transfer to the Transferee by executing the form of Consent affixed as
     Appendix B to the Transferee's Letter to which this Certificate is affixed
     as Appendix A, the Transferee is a "U.S. person" (as defined below),

(5)  that no purpose of the transfer is to avoid or impede the assessment or
     collection of tax,

(6)  the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due,

(7)  the Transferee intends, and believes that it will be able, to continue to
     pay its debts as they become due in the future,

(8)  the Transferee understands that, as beneficial owner of the Class R
     Certificate, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
     generated by the Class R Certificate,

(9)  the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated with holding the Class R
     Certificate as they become due,

(10) the Transferee consents to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by Merrill Lynch Mortgage
     Investors, Inc. (upon advice of counsel) to constitute a reasonable
     arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will not be owned
     directly or indirectly by a disqualified organization, and

(11) IF BRACKETED, THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATIONS ARE INAPPLICABLE [the transfer
     is not a direct or indirect transfer of the Class R Certificate to a
     foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
     applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee, and as to each of the
     residual interests represented by the Class R Certificate, the present
     value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding such
     residual interest does not exceed the sum of:

     (A)  the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to
          acquire such residual interest;

     (B)  the present value of the expected future distributions on such
          residual interest; and

                                      E-1-4

<PAGE>

     (C)  the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with
          holding such residual interest as the related REMIC generates losses.

     For purposes of this declaration, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
     at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Section 11(b)(1) of
     the Code, but the tax rate specified in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may
     be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the
     Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax
     under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute
     its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative
     minimum tax rate, and (ii) present values are computed using a discount
     rate equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of
     the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by
     the Transferee;]

[(11)(A)  at the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the
          Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the Transferee's fiscal year
          of transfer, the Transferee's gross assets for financial reporting
          purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for financial
          reporting purposes exceed $10 million; and

     (B)  the Transferee is an eligible corporation as defined in Treasury
          regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i) and has agreed in writing that
          any subsequent transfer of the Class R Certificate will be to another
          eligible corporation in a transaction that satisfies Treasury
          regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), 1.860E-1(c)(4)(ii),
          1.860E-1(c)(4)(iii) and 1.860E1(c)(5) and such transfer will not be a
          direct or indirect transfer to a foreign permanent establishment
          (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of a domestic
          corporation.

For purposes of this declaration, the gross and net assets of the Transferee do
not include any obligation of any related person as defined in Treasury
regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) or any other asset if a principal purpose
for holding or acquiring the other asset is to permit the Transferee to make
this declaration or to satisfy the requirements of Treasury regulation Section
1.860E-1(c)(5)(i).]

(12) The Transferee will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be
     attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the
     meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another
     U.S. taxpayer.

     ___________________________________ (the "Transferor") has reviewed the
attached affidavit of __________________________ (the "Transferee"), and has no
actual knowledge that such affidavit is not true, and has no reason to believe
that the Transferee has the intention to impede the assessment or collection of
any federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid with respect to
the Class R Certificate referred to in the attached affidavit. In addition, the
Transferor has conducted a reasonable investigation at the time of the transfer
and found that the Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due
and found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not
continue to pay its debts as they become due.

securities law, or that would require registration or qualification pursuant
thereto. Neither the Purchaser nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the
Certificates for sale or made any general solicitation by means of general

from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Certificates,
any interest in the Certificates or any other similar security with, any person

Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person
reasonably believed by us, based upon certifications of such purchaser or
information we have in our possession, to be a qualified institutional buyer
that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified
institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption
from registration under the Securities Act.

          (2) To the best of my knowledge, and assuming the accuracy of the
statements required to be made or data required to be delivered by the Servicer
and Depositor (to the extent that such statements or data were received by the
Trustee and are relevant to the statements made by the Trustee in this Back-Up
Certification), the information in the Reports, taken as a whole, does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
the Annual Report;

          (3) To the best of my knowledge, and assuming the accuracy of the

<PAGE>

          (5) A review of the Trustee's activities during the preceding calendar
year or portion thereof and of such Trustee's performance of its distribution
and calculation activities under the Agreement has been made under my
supervision. Based on my knowledge, based on such review, the Trustee has
fulfilled all its obligations with respect to such distribution and calculation
activities under the Agreement, in all material respects throughout the year or
applicable portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, the Trustee has specified each such failure
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof; and

          (6) Based on my knowledge, and assuming the accuracy of the statements
required to be made or data required to be delivered by the Servicer and
Depositor (to the extent that such statements or data were received by the
Trustee and are relevant to the statements made by the Trustee in this Back-Up
Certification), the Assessment of Compliance and the related Attestation Report,

to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in the light of
the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with
respect to the period of time covered by the Assessment of Compliance and the
related Attestation Report.

                           FORM OF AUCTION PROCEDURES

connection with Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement") among Merrill

herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings described thereto
in the Agreement.

1.   Upon notice that the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
     Loans is equal to ten percent (10%) or less of the Stated Principal Balance
     of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (which notice will also be
     sent to the Servicer), the Trustee will initiate the general auction
     procedures consisting of the following: (i) prepare a general solicitation
     package along with a confidentiality agreement; (ii) derive a list of
     bidders which shall include (x) the Holders of the Class C and Class P
     Certificates (other than the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor) and
     (y) a minimum of three (3) bidders including the Holders of the Class C
     Certificates but not including the holders of the Class P Certificates,
     each of whom shall be a nationally recognized participant in mortgage
     finance; (iii) initiate contact with all bidders, (iv) send a
     confidentiality agreement to all bidders; and (v) upon receipt of a signed
     confidentiality agreement, send the general bid solicitation package to all
     bidders.

2.   The general solicitation package will include (i) the Agreement; (ii) a
     copy of all monthly trustee reports or electronic access thereto; (iii) a
     form of a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement acceptable to the Trustee, the
     Servicer and Depositor (the Mortgage Loans and other property included in
     the Trust Fund will be offered and sold on an "as is, where is" basis,
     without any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, of any kind
     and without recourse to, or guaranty by, the Trustee); (iv) a description
     of the minimum price as set forth in the Agreement; (v) a formal bid sheet

     to each auction sale and shall be determined by the Depositor with the
     consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

4.   All bids will be submitted directly to the Trustee. Upon acceptance of a
     bid which meets or exceeds the conditions set forth in Section 9.01, the
     Trustee will complete the auction by selling the Mortgage Loans and the
     other property included in the Trust Fund and distribute the proceeds from
     the auction to the holders of the Certificates on the next succeeding
     Distribution Date as set forth in the Agreement. In the event the Trustee
     receives two (2) or more bids from bidders above the Auction Termination
     Price and at equal bids (a "Tie Event"), the Trustee shall notify such
     bidders to resubmit a bid to break the Tie Event.

5.   Upon determination that the minimum price was not met, the Trustee shall
     cancel such auction sale and notify the Servicer and Depositor immediately.

6.   The Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor may mutually agree to revise or
     supplement these provisions as necessary, provided that the purchase price
     is at all times required to be at least the Auction Termination Price.

          (i) The definitions of "Market Quotation" and "Settlement Amount" are
          amended in their entirety to read as follows:

               "MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated
               Transactions, an offer capable of becoming legally binding upon
               acceptance made by a Reference Market-maker with ratings that
               meet the Collateralization Requirement or the Ratings
               Requirement, as the case may be, for an amount that would be paid
               to the Counterparty (expressed as a negative number) or by the
               Counterparty (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of
               an agreement between the Counterparty and such Reference
               Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "REPLACEMENT

<PAGE>

Page 6 of 21

               TRANSACTION"), with commercial terms substantially the same as
               those of this Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions
               relating to Transactions that are not Terminated Transactions)
               (which shall be determined by the Counterparty, acting in a
               commercially reasonable manner), that would have the effect of
               preserving the economic equivalent for the Counterparty of any
               payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was
               absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each
               applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section
               2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of
               Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
               relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that
               Date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the
               Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be
               excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that
               would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
               required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
               precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included.

               "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to any Early Termination
               Date: --

               (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotation
               (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or
               group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
               accepted by the Counterparty so as to become legally binding on
               or before the day falling ten (10) Local Business Days after the
               day on which the Early Termination Date is designated (or such
               later day not be later than the Early Termination Date as the
               Counterparty may specify in writing to BNY); or (if there is no
               such accepted Market Quotation)

               (b) the Counterparty's Loss (whether positive or negative and
               without reference to any Unpaid amounts) for the relevant
               Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.

          (ii) the Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two
          Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date
          is designated, BNY, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain one or more
          Market Quotations before the date determined pursuant to clause (a) of
          the definition of "Settlement Amount".

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3)
          or Part 5(g), if the Settlement Amount is a negative number, the
          Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty shall be subject to netting
          in accordance with Section 2(c).

     (f) "TERMINATION CURRENCY" means United States Dollars.

     (g) "ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT" will apply. The following shall
     constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party specified shall be
     the Affected Party with respect thereto:--

          (i) TERMINATION OF TRUST FUND. The Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust
          or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant to any provision of the
          Pooling and

<PAGE>

Page 7 of 21

          Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, by exercise of the
          option to purchase and giving of notice under Sections 10.01 of the
          Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Early Termination Date with
          respect to such Additional Termination Event shall be the Distribution
          Date upon which the Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust or Trust
          Fund is terminated and final payment is made in respect of the
          Certificates. Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an Early
          Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event. The
          Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (ii) AMENDMENT OF POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT. The amendment of
          the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner which could have a
          material adverse affect on BNY without first obtaining the prior
          written consent of BNY (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),
          where such consent is required under the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iii) COLLATERALIZATION OR RATINGS EVENT. A Collateralization Event or
          Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a) has occurred and is
          continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph
          4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect to
          a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an
          offer which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon
          acceptance to be the Transferee of an assignment, transfer or
          replacement in accordance with Paragraph 4(8)(b)(2)(A) hereof). BNY
          shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iv) REGULATION AB. BNY shall fail to comply with the provisions of
          Paragraph 4(9) hereof within the time provided for therein. BNY shall
          be the sole Affected Party.

     (h) "GROSS UP". Section 2(d)(i)(4) shall not apply to Counterparty as X,
     and Section 2(d)(ii) shall not apply to Counterparty as Y, such that
     Counterparty shall not be required to pay any additional amounts referred
     to therein.

     3) TAX REPRESENTATIONS.

     (a) PAYER REPRESENTATIONS. For the purpose of Section 3(e), BNY and the
     Counterparty make the following representations:

          any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 2(e),
          6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) to be made by it to the other party under this
          Agreement. In making this representation, it may rely on:

          (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained
          in Section 4(d), provided that it shall not be a breach of this

     (i) SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this
     Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall
     be held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any
     reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof

     this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
     change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of
     this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not
     substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the
     parties. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to

     AB regarding BNY or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
     depending on the aggregate "significance percentage" of this Agreement and
     any other derivative contracts between BNY or its group of affiliated
     entities, if applicable, and the Counterparty, as calculated from time to
     time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

     If the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the
     significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9)
     percent, then the Depositor may request on a Business Day after the date of
     such determination from BNY the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)
     of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance
     percentage had in fact increased to ten (10) percent (such request, a "SWAP
     DISCLOSURE REQUEST" and such requested information, subject to the last
     sentence of this paragraph, is the "SWAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE"). The
     Counterparty or the Depositor shall provide BNY with the calculations and
     any other information reasonably requested by BNY with respect to the
     Depositor's

<PAGE>

     determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request. The parties hereto
     further agree that the Swap Financial Disclosure provided to meet the Swap
     Disclosure Request may be, solely at BNY's option, either the information
     set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB.

     Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, BNY, at its own expense,
     shall (x) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, or (y)
     subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, secure another entity to replace BNY
     as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement
     which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted
     by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by
     incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities
     Exchange Act.

     10) BNY PAYMENTS TO BE MADE TO TRUSTEE. BNY will, unless otherwise directed
     by the Trustee, make all payments hereunder to the Trustee. Payment made to
     the Trustee at the account specified herein or to another account specified
     in writing by the Trustee shall satisfy the payment obligations of BNY
     hereunder to the extent of such payment.

     11) RETURN OF AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY MLML OR ITS AFFILIATES. Merrill Lynch
     Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that amounts paid
     hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class of
     Certificates rated by any Rating Agency if such holder is MLML or any of
     its affiliates. If MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts,
     it will promptly remit (or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of
     MLML, MLML hereby agrees that it will cause such affiliate to promptly
     remit) such amounts to the Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will promptly
     remit such amounts to BNY. MLML further agrees to provide notice to BNY
     upon any remittance to the Trustee.

     12) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of
     the ISDA Form Master Agreement, if the Counterparty has satisfied its
     payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master
     Agreement, and shall, at the time, have no future payment or delivery
     obligation, whether absolute or contingent, then unless BNY is required
     pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to the Counterparty or
     otherwise returns to the Counterparty upon demand of the Counterparty any
     portion of such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event described in
     Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to the
     Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Event of
     Default with respect to the Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and (b)
     BNY shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to
     Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of a
     Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i) or Section 5(b)(ii)
     of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BNY as the Affected Party
     or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BNY
     as the Burdened Party.

                           RE: BNY REFERENCE NO. 38514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter agreement ("AGREEMENT") is to confirm the terms
and conditions of the rate Swap Transaction entered into on the Trade Date
specified below (the "TRANSACTION") between The Bank of New York ("BNY"), a
trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New
York, and Specialty Underwriting & Residential Finance Trust, Series 2006-BC5
(the "COUNTERPARTY"), as represented by U.S Bank National Association, not in
its individual capacity, but solely as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated and effective November 1, 2006, among Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Investors, Inc., as Depositor, Wilshire Credit Corporation, as Servicer, and
U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the "POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT"). This Agreement, which evidences a complete and binding agreement
between you and us to enter into the Transaction on the terms set forth below,
constitutes a "CONFIRMATION" as referred to in the "ISDA FORM MASTER AGREEMENT"
(as defined below), as well as a "Schedule" as referred to in the ISDA Form
Master Agreement.

     1. FORM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is subject to the 2000 ISDA
Definitions (the "DEFINITIONS"), as published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"). Any reference to a "Swap Transaction" in
the Definitions is deemed to be a reference to a "Transaction" for purposes of
this Agreement, and any reference to a "Transaction" in this Agreement is deemed
to be a reference to a "Swap Transaction" for purposes of the Definitions. You
and we have agreed to enter into this Agreement in lieu of negotiating a
Schedule to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency--Cross Border) form
(the "ISDA FORM MASTER AGREEMENT"). An ISDA Form Master Agreement, as modified
by the Schedule terms in Paragraph 4 of this Confirmation (the "MASTER
AGREEMENT"), shall be deemed to have been executed by you and us on the date we
entered into the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction
described herein shall be the sole Transaction governed by such ISDA Form Master
Agreement. Except as otherwise specified, references herein to Sections shall be
to Sections of the Master Agreement, and references to Paragraphs shall be to
paragraphs of this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that the Master Agreement
deemed to have been executed by the parties hereto shall be the same Master
Agreement referred to in the agreement setting forth the terms of transaction
reference numbers 38513 and 38515. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and the Definitions or the Master Agreement, this
Agreement shall prevail for purposes of the Transaction. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein or in the Definitions or the Master Agreement shall
have the meaning defined for such term in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     2. CERTAIN TERMS. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates are as follows:

          (i) The definitions of "Market Quotation" and "Settlement Amount" are
          amended in their entirety to read as follows:

               "MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated
               Transactions, an offer capable of becoming legally binding upon
               acceptance made by a Reference Market-maker with ratings that
               meet the Collateralization Requirement or the Ratings
               Requirement, as the case may be, for an amount that would be paid
               to the Counterparty (expressed as a negative number) or by the
               Counterparty (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of
               an agreement between the Counterparty and such

<PAGE>

Page 6 of 21

               Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the
               "REPLACEMENT TRANSACTION"), with commercial terms substantially
               the same as those of this Agreement (save for the exclusion of
               provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated
               Transactions) (which shall be determined by the Counterparty,
               acting in a commercially reasonable manner), that would have the
               effect of preserving the economic equivalent for the Counterparty
               of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was
               absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each
               applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section
               2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of
               Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
               relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that
               Date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the
               Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be
               excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that
               would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
               required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
               precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included.

               "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to any Early Termination
               Date: --

               (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotation
               (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or
               group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
               accepted by the Counterparty so as to become legally binding on
               or before the day falling ten (10) Local Business Days after the
               day on which the Early Termination Date is designated (or such
               later day not be later than the Early Termination Date as the
               Counterparty may specify in writing to BNY); or (if there is no
               such accepted Market Quotation)

               (b) the Counterparty's Loss (whether positive or negative and
               without reference to any Unpaid amounts) for the relevant
               Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.

          (ii) the Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two
          Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date
          is designated, BNY, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain one or more
          Market Quotations before the date determined pursuant to clause (a) of
          the definition of "Settlement Amount".

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3)
          or Part 5(g), if the Settlement Amount is a negative number, the
          Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty shall be subject to netting
          in accordance with Section 2(c).

     (f) "TERMINATION CURRENCY" means United States Dollars.

     (g) "ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT" will apply. The following shall
     constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party specified shall be
     the Affected Party with respect thereto:--

<PAGE>

Page 7 of 21

          (i) TERMINATION OF TRUST FUND. The Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust
          or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant to any provision of the

          exercise of the option to purchase and giving of notice under Sections
          10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Early Termination
          Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event shall be the
          Distribution Date upon which the Trust and the Supplemental Interest
          Trust or Trust Fund is terminated and final payment is made in respect
          of the Certificates. Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an
          Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination
          Event. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (ii) AMENDMENT OF POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT. The amendment of
          the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner which could have a
          material adverse affect on BNY without first obtaining the prior
          written consent of BNY (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),
          where such consent is required under the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iii) COLLATERALIZATION OR RATINGS EVENT. A Collateralization Event or
          Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a) has occurred and is
          continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph
          4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect to
          a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an
          offer which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon
          acceptance to be the Transferee of an assignment, transfer or
          replacement in accordance with Paragraph 4(8)(b)(2)(A) hereof). BNY
          shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iv) REGULATION AB. BNY shall fail to comply with the provisions of
          Paragraph 4(9) hereof within the time provided for therein. BNY shall
          be the sole Affected Party.

     (h) "GROSS UP". Section 2(d)(i)(4) shall not apply to Counterparty as X,
     and Section 2(d)(ii) shall not apply to Counterparty as Y, such that
     Counterparty shall not be required to pay any additional amounts referred
     to therein.

               and the other party does not deliver a form or document under

               (i) SWAP AGREEMENT. Each Transaction is a "swap agreement" as
               defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(vi) and a "covered
               swap agreement" as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (7

obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any obligation

     (each a "RATING AGENCY", and the rating condition with respect to it, the
     "MOODY'S RATING CONDITION" and "S&P RATING CONDITION", respectively) has

     "QUALIFYING RATINGS" means, with respect to the debt of any assignee or
     guarantor hereunder, (A) a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
     rating of "P-1" (not on watch for downgrade), and a long-term unsecured and

     short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating, a long term rating of
     "Aa3" (not on watch for downgrade) by Moody's, and (B) a short-term
     unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of "A-1", or if it does not have a

     BNY (or any applicable credit support provider) if: (A) its short-term

     its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced to "A3" or
     below, or, if it has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt

     rating is reduced to "A" or below by S&P (an "S&P COLLATERALIZATION
     EVENT"); and (4) a "RATINGS EVENT" shall occur with respect to BNY (or any
     applicable credit support provider) if: (A) its short-term unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced to "P-3" or below and
     its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced to "Baa1" or
     below, or, if it has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt

     "MOODY'S RATINGS EVENT"), or (B) its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated
     debt rating is withdrawn or reduced to "BB+" or below by S&P (an "S&P
     RATINGS EVENT").

     (b) ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. Subject, in each case to satisfaction of the
     Rating Agency Condition: (1) if a Collateralization Event occurs with

<PAGE>

Page 15 of 21

     credit support provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within thirty
     (30) days of such Collateralization Ratings Event: (A) post collateral in
     accordance with the Credit Support Annex; or (B) on terms substantially
     similar to this Agreement assign or transfer the Transactions to or replace
     the Transactions with transactions with a third party approved by the
     Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) the ratings of
     which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings;
     or (C) obtain a guaranty of or a contingent agreement to honor BNY's
     obligations under this Agreement by a third party approved by the
     Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) the ratings of
     which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings;
     or (4) establish any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty (such
     approval not to be unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the Rating
     Condition; and (2) if a Ratings Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any
     applicable Credit Support Provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense,
     within ten (10) Business Days of such Ratings Event: (A) on terms
     substantially similar to this Agreement assign or transfer the Transactions
     to or replace the Transactions with transactions with a third party
     approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably
     withheld) the ratings of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or
     exceed the Qualifying Ratings, or (B) obtain a guaranty of or a contingent
     agreement to honor BNY's obligations under this Agreement by a third party
     approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably
     withheld) the ratings of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or
     exceed the Qualifying Ratings; or (C) establish any other arrangement
     approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably
     withheld) that satisfies the Rating Condition.

     9) COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB.

     If the Depositor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement still has a
     reporting obligation with respect to this Transaction pursuant to
     Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("REGULATION AB") and BNY has
     not, within 30 days after receipt of a Swap Disclosure Request complied
     with the provisions set forth below in this Paragraph 4(9) (provided that
     if the significance percentage reaches 10% after a Swap Disclosure Request
     has been made to BNY, BNY must comply with the provisions set forth below
     in this Section 4(9) within 10 calendar days of BNY being informed of the
     significance percentage reaching 10%), then an Additional Termination Event
     shall have occurred with respect to BNY and BNY shall be the sole Affected
     Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

     BNY acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with
     respect to this Transaction under Regulation AB, the Depositor is required
     under Regulation AB to disclose certain information set forth in Regulation
     AB regarding BNY or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
     depending on the aggregate "significance percentage" of this Agreement and
     any other derivative contracts between BNY or its group of affiliated
     entities, if applicable, and the Counterparty, as calculated from time to
     time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

     If the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the
     significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9)
     percent, then the Depositor may request on a Business Day after the date of
     such determination from BNY the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)
     of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance
     percentage had in

<PAGE>

Page 16 of 21

     fact increased to ten (10) percent (such request, a "SWAP DISCLOSURE
     REQUEST" and such requested information, subject to the last sentence of
     this paragraph, is the "SWAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE"). The Counterparty or
     the Depositor shall provide BNY with the calculations and any other
     information reasonably requested by BNY with respect to the Depositor's
     determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request. The parties hereto
     further agree that the Swap Financial Disclosure provided to meet the Swap
     Disclosure Request may be, solely at BNY's option, either the information
     set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB.

     Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, BNY, at its own expense,
     shall (x) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, or (y)
     subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, secure another entity to replace BNY
     as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement
     which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted
     by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by
     incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities
     Exchange Act.

     10) BNY PAYMENTS TO BE MADE TO TRUSTEE. BNY will, unless otherwise directed
by the Trustee, make all payments hereunder to the Trustee. Payment made to the
Trustee at the account specified herein or to another account specified in
writing by the Trustee shall satisfy the payment obligations of BNY hereunder to
the extent of such payment.

     11) RETURN OF AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY MLML OR ITS AFFILIATES. Merrill Lynch
Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that amounts paid
hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class of Certificates
rated by any Rating Agency if such holder is MLML or any of its affiliates. If
MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts, it will promptly remit
(or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of MLML, MLML hereby agrees
that it will cause such affiliate to promptly remit) such amounts to the
Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will promptly remit such amounts to BNY. MLML
further agrees to provide notice to BNY upon any remittance to the Trustee.

     12) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement, if the Counterparty has satisfied its payment
obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, and shall,
at the time, have no future payment or delivery obligation, whether absolute or
contingent, then unless BNY is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to
return to the Counterparty or otherwise returns to the Counterparty upon demand
of the Counterparty any portion of such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event
described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to the
Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default with respect to the Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and (b) BNY
shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6
of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of a Termination Event set
forth in either Section 5(b)(i) or Section 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement with respect to BNY as the Affected Party or Section 5(b)(iii) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BNY as the Burdened Party.

                           RE: BNY REFERENCE NO. 38515

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter agreement ("AGREEMENT") is to confirm the terms
and conditions of the rate Swap Transaction entered into on the Trade Date
specified below (the "TRANSACTION") between The Bank of New York ("BNY"), a
trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New
York, and Specialty Underwriting & Residential Finance Trust, Series 2006-BC5
(the "COUNTERPARTY"), as represented by U.S Bank National Association, not in
its individual capacity, but solely as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated and effective November 1, 2006, among Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Investors, Inc., as Depositor, Wilshire Credit Corporation, as Servicer, and
U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the "POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT"). This Agreement, which evidences a complete and binding agreement
between you and us to enter into the Transaction on the terms set forth below,
constitutes a "CONFIRMATION" as referred to in the "ISDA FORM MASTER AGREEMENT"
(as defined below), as well as a "Schedule" as referred to in the ISDA Form
Master Agreement.

     1. FORM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is subject to the 2000 ISDA
Definitions (the "DEFINITIONS"), as published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"). Any reference to a "Swap Transaction" in
the Definitions is deemed to be a reference to a "Transaction" for purposes of
this Agreement, and any reference to a "Transaction" in this Agreement is deemed
to be a reference to a "Swap Transaction" for purposes of the Definitions. You
and we have agreed to enter into this Agreement in lieu of negotiating a
Schedule to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency--Cross Border) form
(the "ISDA FORM MASTER AGREEMENT"). An ISDA Form Master Agreement, as modified
by the Schedule terms in Paragraph 4 of this Confirmation (the "MASTER
AGREEMENT"), shall be deemed to have been executed by you and us on the date we
entered into the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction
described herein shall be the sole Transaction governed by such ISDA Form Master
Agreement. Except as otherwise specified, references herein to Sections shall be
to Sections of the Master Agreement, and references to Paragraphs shall be to
paragraphs of this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that the Master Agreement
deemed to have been executed by the parties hereto shall be the same Master
Agreement referred to in the agreement setting forth the terms of transaction
reference numbers 38513 and 38514. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and the Definitions or the Master Agreement, this
Agreement shall prevail for purposes of the Transaction. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein or in the Definitions or the Master Agreement shall
have the meaning defined for such term in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     2. CERTAIN TERMS. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates are as follows:

<PAGE>

               made by a Reference Market-maker with ratings that meet the
               Collateralization Requirement or the Ratings Requirement, as the
               case may be, for an amount that would be paid to the Counterparty
               (expressed as a negative number) or by the Counterparty
               (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
               between the Counterparty and such Reference Market-maker to enter
               into a transaction (the "REPLACEMENT TRANSACTION"), with
               commercial terms substantially the same as those of this
               Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions relating to
               Transactions that are not Terminated Transactions) (which shall
               be determined by the Counterparty, acting in a commercially
               reasonable manner), that would have the effect of preserving the
               economic equivalent for the Counterparty of any payment or
               delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
               contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable
               condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in
               respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of Terminated
               Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant
               Early Termination Date, have been required after that Date. For
               this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated
               Transaction or group of Transactions are to be excluded but,
               without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for
               the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming
               satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that
               Early Termination Date is to be included.

               "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to any Early Termination
               Date: --

               (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotation
               (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or
               group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
               accepted by the Counterparty so as to become legally binding on
               or before the day falling ten (10) Local Business Days after the
               day on which the Early Termination Date is designated (or such
               later day not be later than the Early Termination Date as the
               Counterparty may specify in writing to BNY); or (if there is no
               such accepted Market Quotation)

               (b) the Counterparty's Loss (whether positive or negative and
               without reference to any Unpaid amounts) for the relevant
               Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.

          (ii) the Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two
          Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date
          is designated, BNY, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain one or more
          Market Quotations before the date determined pursuant to clause (a) of
          the definition of "Settlement Amount".

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3)
          or Part 5(g), if the Settlement Amount is a negative number, the
          Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty shall be subject to netting
          in accordance with Section 2(c).

<PAGE>

     (f) "TERMINATION CURRENCY" means United States Dollars.

     (g) "ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT" will apply. The following shall
     constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party specified shall be
     the Affected Party with respect thereto:--

          (i) TERMINATION OF TRUST FUND. The Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust
          or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant to any provision of the
          Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, by
          exercise of the option to purchase and giving of notice under Sections
          10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Early Termination
          Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event shall be the
          Distribution Date upon which the Trust and the Supplemental Interest
          Trust or Trust Fund is terminated and final payment is made in respect
          of the Certificates. Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an
          Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination
          Event. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (ii) AMENDMENT OF POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT. The amendment of
          the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner which could have a
          material adverse affect on BNY without first obtaining the prior
          written consent of BNY (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),
          where such consent is required under the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iii) COLLATERALIZATION OR RATINGS EVENT. A Collateralization Event or
          Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a) has occurred and is
          continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph
          4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect to
          a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an
          offer which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon
          acceptance to be the Transferee of an assignment, transfer or
          replacement in accordance with Paragraph 4(8)(b)(2)(A) hereof). BNY
          shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iv) REGULATION AB. BNY shall fail to comply with the provisions of
          Paragraph 4(9) hereof within the time provided for therein. BNY shall
          be the sole Affected Party.

     (h) "GROSS UP". Section 2(d)(i)(4) shall not apply to Counterparty as X,
     and Section 2(d)(ii) shall not apply to Counterparty as Y, such that
     Counterparty shall not be required to pay any additional amounts referred
     to therein.

     3) TAX REPRESENTATIONS.

     (a) PAYER REPRESENTATIONS. For the purpose of Section 3(e), BNY and the
     Counterparty make the following representations:

          It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
          of any relevant governmental revenue authority, of any Relevant
          Jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of
          any Tax from any payment (other

          and

          (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained
          in Section 4(d), provided that it shall not be a breach of this
          representation where reliance is placed on clause (ii) and the other
          party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) by
          reason of material prejudice of its legal or commercial position.

               Transaction; it is not relying on any communication (written or
               oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a
               recommendation to enter into such transaction; it being
               understood that information and explanations related to the terms

     contingent agreement to honor BNY's obligations under this Agreement by a

     meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings; or (D) establish any other
     arrangement approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be
     unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the Rating Condition; and (2) if a
     Ratings Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable Credit Support
     Provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within ten (10) Business
     Days of such Ratings Event: (A) on terms substantially similar to this
     Agreement assign or transfer the Transactions to or replace the
     Transactions with transactions with a third party approved by the

     or (C) establish any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty (such
     approval not to be unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the Rating
     Condition.

     9) COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB.

     If the Depositor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement still has a
     reporting obligation with respect to this Transaction pursuant to
     Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("REGULATION AB") and BNY has
     not, within 30 days after receipt of a Swap Disclosure Request complied
     with the provisions set forth below in this Paragraph 4(9) (provided that
     if the significance percentage reaches 10% after a Swap Disclosure Request
     has been made to BNY, BNY must comply with the provisions set forth below
     in this Section 4(9) within 10 calendar days of BNY being informed of the
     significance percentage reaching 10%), then an Additional Termination Event
     shall have occurred with respect to BNY and BNY shall be the sole Affected
     Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

     BNY acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with
     respect to this Transaction under Regulation AB, the Depositor is required
     under Regulation AB to disclose

<PAGE>

Page 16 of 21

     certain information set forth in Regulation AB regarding BNY or its group
     of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate
     "significance percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative
     contracts between BNY or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
     and the Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with
     Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

     If the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the
     significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9)
     percent, then the Depositor may request on a Business Day after the date of
     such determination from BNY the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)
     of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance
     percentage had in fact increased to ten (10) percent (such request, a "SWAP
     DISCLOSURE REQUEST" and such requested information, subject to the last
     sentence of this paragraph, is the "SWAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE"). The
     Counterparty or the Depositor shall provide BNY with the calculations and
     any other information reasonably requested by BNY with respect to the
     Depositor's determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request. The
     parties hereto further agree that the Swap Financial Disclosure provided to
     meet the Swap Disclosure Request may be, solely at BNY's option, either the
     information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation
     AB.

     Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, BNY, at its own expense,
     shall (x) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, or (y)
     subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, secure another entity to replace BNY
     as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement
     which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted
     by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by
     incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities
     Exchange Act.

     10) BNY PAYMENTS TO BE MADE TO TRUSTEE. BNY will, unless otherwise directed
     by the Trustee, make all payments hereunder to the Trustee. Payment made to
     the Trustee at the account specified herein or to another account specified
     in writing by the Trustee shall satisfy the payment obligations of BNY
     hereunder to the extent of such payment.

     11) RETURN OF AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY MLML OR ITS AFFILIATES. Merrill Lynch
     Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that amounts paid
     hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class of
     Certificates rated by any Rating Agency if such holder is MLML or any of
     its affiliates. If MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts,
     it will promptly remit (or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of
     MLML, MLML hereby agrees that it will cause such affiliate to promptly
     remit) such amounts to the Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will promptly
     remit such amounts to BNY. MLML further agrees to provide notice to BNY
     upon any remittance to the Trustee.

     12) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of
     the ISDA Form Master Agreement, if the Counterparty has satisfied its

          Default will exist with respect to a party if that party fails (or
          fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of
          Eligible Credit Support, Posted Credit Support or the Interest Amount,
          as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues
          for two Local Business Day after the notice of that failure is given
          to that party; provided, that, with respect to a failure to Transfer
          Eligible Credit Support, at least 30 Local Business Days have elapsed
          after a Ratings Event has occurred and such failure is not remedied on
          or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is
          given to Party A".

     (iv) RETURN OF FUNGIBLE SECURITIES. In lieu of returning to the Pledgor
     pursuant to Paragraphs 3(b), 4(d), 5 and 8(d) any Posted Collateral
     comprising securities the Secured Party may return Equivalent Collateral.

     (v) NO COUNTERCLAIM. A party's rights to demand and receive the Transfer of
     Eligible Collateral as provided hereunder and its rights as Secured Party
     against the Posted Collateral or otherwise shall be absolute and subject to
     no counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense in favor of the Pledgor
     except as contemplated in Sections 2 and 6 of the Agreement and Paragraph 8
     of this Annex.

     (vi) HOLDING COLLATERAL. The Secured Party shall cause any Custodian
     appointed hereunder to open and maintain a segregated account and to hold,
     record and identify all the Posted Collateral in such segregated account
     and, subject to Paragraphs 6(c) and 8(a), such Posted Collateral shall at
     all times be and remain the property of the Pledgor and shall at no time
     constitute the property of, or be commingled with the property of, the
     Secured Party or the Custodian (the "SWAP COLLATERAL ACCOUNT").

     (vii) INVESTMENT OF CASH POSTED COLLATERAL. Cash Posted Collateral shall be
     invested in Eligible Investments as directed by Party A. Such instructions
     may be delivered as standing instructions.

     (viii) RETURN OF POSTED COLLATERAL. At any time a Collateralization Event
     or Ratings Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to Party A,
     Party A shall be obligated to transfer Eligible Collateral in accordance
     with the terms of this Annex. If a Collateralization Event or Rating Event
     occurs and thereafter ceases to be continuing (and provided that no Event
     of Default or Potential Event of Default exists with respect to Party A) or
     Party A has made a Permitted Transfer under this Agreement, then Party A's
     obligations to transfer Eligible Collateral under this Annex will
     immediately cease with respect to that Collateralization Event, and Party B
     will, upon demand by Party A, return to Party A, or cause its Custodian to
     return, all Posted Collateral held under this Annex. The Secured Party is
     authorized to liquidate any Posted Collateral pursuant to written
     instructions from Party A.

     (ix) EXTERNAL VERIFICATION OF MARK-TO-MARKET VALUATIONS. If the long term
     senior unsecured debt of Party A is rated BBB or lower by S&P, once every
     month, Party A will, at it's own expense, verify its determination of
     Exposure of the Transaction on the next Valuation Date by seeking
     quotations from two (2) Reference Market-makers (provided that any
     Reference Market-maker may not be used more than four times within each 12
     month period) for their determination of Exposure of the Transaction on
     such Valuation Date and the Valuation Agent will use the greater of either
     (a) its own determination or (b) the high quotation for a Reference
     Market-maker, if applicable for the next Valuation Date. Party A shall
     provide the Quotations of such Reference Market-makers to S&P.

     (x) EXPENSES. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be responsible
     for, and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and other taxes
     and other costs involved in the transfer of Eligible Collateral.

     (xi) LIMIT ON SECURED PARTY'S LIABILITY. The Secured Party will not be
     liable for any losses or damages that the Pledgor may suffer as a result of
     any failure by the Secured Party to perform, or any delay by it in
     performing, any of its obligations under this Annex if the failure or delay
     results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Secured
     Party or its Custodian, such as interruption or loss of computer or
     communication services, labor disturbance, natural disaster or local or
     national emergency.

     (e) PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. For the purpose of Section 6(e), the

     long as the Certificates are rated by Moody's, if BNY is the Affected Party
     in respect of an Additional Termination Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or
     the Defaulting Party in respect of any Event of Default (but not, in any
     case, in respect of a Termination Event arising from an Illegality or Tax
     Event), the following provisions shall apply:

          (i) The definitions of "Market Quotation" and "Settlement Amount" are
          amended in their entirety to read as follows:

               "MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated
               Transactions, an offer capable of becoming legally binding upon
               acceptance made by a Reference Market-maker with ratings that
               meet the Collateralization Requirement or the Ratings
               Requirement, as the case may be, for an amount that would be paid
               to the Counterparty (expressed as a negative number) or by the
               Counterparty (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of
               an agreement between the Counterparty and such Reference
               Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "REPLACEMENT

<PAGE>

Page 6 of 22

               TRANSACTION"), with commercial terms substantially the same as
               those of this Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions
               relating to Transactions that are not Terminated Transactions)
               (which shall be determined by the Counterparty, acting in a
               commercially reasonable manner), that would have the effect of
               preserving the economic equivalent for the Counterparty of any
               payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was
               absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each
               applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section
               2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of
               Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
               relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that
               Date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the
               Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be
               excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that
               would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
               required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
               precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included.

               "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to any Early Termination
               Date: --

               (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotation
               (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or
               group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
               accepted by the Counterparty so as to become legally binding on
               or before the day falling ten (10) Local Business Days after the
               day on which the Early Termination Date is designated (or such
               later day not be later than the Early Termination Date as the
               Counterparty may specify in writing to BNY); or (if there is no
               such accepted Market Quotation)

               (b) the Counterparty's Loss (whether positive or negative and
               without reference to any Unpaid amounts) for the relevant
               Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.

          (ii) the Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two
          Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date
          is designated, BNY, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain one or more
          Market Quotations before the date determined pursuant to clause (a) of
          the definition of "Settlement Amount".

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3)
          or Part 5(g), if the Settlement Amount is a negative number, the
          Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty shall be subject to netting
          in accordance with Section 2(c).

     (f) "TERMINATION CURRENCY" means United States Dollars.

     (g) "ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT" will apply. The following shall
     constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party specified shall be
     the Affected Party with respect thereto:--

          (i) TERMINATION OF TRUST FUND. The Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust
          or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant to any provision of the
          Pooling and

<PAGE>

Page 7 of 22

          Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, by completion of a
          successful auction termination or by exercise of the option to
          purchase and giving of notice under Sections 10.01 of the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement). The Early Termination Date with respect to such
          Additional Termination Event shall be the Distribution Date upon which
          the Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust or Trust Fund is
          terminated and final payment is made in respect of the Certificates.
          Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an Early Termination
          Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event. The Counterparty
          shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (ii) AMENDMENT OF POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT. The amendment of
          the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner which could have a
          material adverse affect on BNY without first obtaining the prior
          written consent of BNY (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),
          where such consent is required under the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement. The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iii) COLLATERALIZATION OR RATINGS EVENT. A Collateralization Event or
          Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a) has occurred and is
          continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph
          4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect to
          a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an
          offer which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon
          acceptance to be the Transferee of an assignment, transfer or
          replacement in accordance with Paragraph 4(8)(b)(2)(A) hereof). BNY
          shall be the sole Affected Party.

          (iv) REGULATION AB. BNY shall fail to comply with the provisions of
          Paragraph 4(9) hereof within the time provided for therein. BNY shall
          be the sole Affected Party.

     (h) "GROSS UP". Section 2(d)(i)(4) shall not apply to Counterparty as X,
     and Section 2(d)(ii) shall not apply to Counterparty as Y, such that
     Counterparty shall not be required to pay any additional amounts referred
     to therein.

     3)   TAX REPRESENTATIONS.

          any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 2(e),
          6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) to be made by it to the other party under this

     be held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any
     reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
     shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
     executed with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as
     this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
     change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of
     this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not
     substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the
     parties. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to
     replace any invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition
     with a valid or enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the
     economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid
     or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition.

     (j) RECORDING OF CONVERSATIONS. Each party (i) consents to the recording of
     telephone conversations between the trading, marketing and other relevant
     personnel of the parties in connection with this Agreement or any potential
     Transaction, (ii) agrees to obtain any necessary consent of, and give any
     necessary notice of such recording to, its relevant personnel and (iii)
     agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that recordings may be
     submitted in evidence in any Proceedings.

     (k) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party waives any right it may have to a
     trial by jury in respect of any Proceedings relating to this Agreement or
     any Credit Support Document.

     (l) NON-RECOURSE. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Master
     Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Counterparty hereunder
     are limited recourse obligations of the Counterparty, payable solely from
     amounts on deposit in the Swap

<PAGE>

Page 12 of 22

     Account created by the Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof
     to satisfy the Counterparty's obligations hereunder. In the event that the
     Swap Account and proceeds thereof should be insufficient to satisfy all
     claims outstanding and following the realization of the Swap Account and
     the distribution of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement, any claims against or obligations of the Counterparty
     under the Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder, still
     outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not revive. This provision
     shall survive the expiration of this Agreement.

     (m) LIMITATION ON INSTITUTION OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. BNY shall not
     institute against or cause any other person to institute against, or join
     any other person in instituting against the Counterparty, the Supplemental
     Interest Trust or the trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
     liquidation proceedings, under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar
     law or bankruptcy or similar laws of any other jurisdiction, for a period
     of one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period)
     following indefeasible payment in full of the Certificates. This provision
     shall survive the expiration of this Agreement.

     (n) REMEDY OF FAILURE TO PAY OR DELIVER. The ISDA Form Master Agreement is
     hereby amended by replacing the word "third" in the third line of Section
     5(a)(i) by the word "second".

     (o) "AFFILIATE" will have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the ISDA
     Form Master Agreement, provided that the Counterparty shall be deemed not
     to have any Affiliates for purposes of this Agreement, including for
     purposes of Section 6(b)(ii).

     (p) TRUSTEE'S CAPACITY. It is expressly understood and agreed by the
     parties hereto that insofar as this Confirmation is executed by the Trustee
     (i) this Confirmation is executed and delivered by U.S Bank National
     Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee of the
     Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
     in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it
     thereunder and pursuant to instruction set forth therein, (ii) each of the
     representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf of the
     trust is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or
     agreement of the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of
     binding only the Counterparty, (iii) nothing contained herein shall be
     construed as creating any liability of U.S. Bank National Association,
     individually or personally, to perform any covenants either express or
     implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly
     waived by the parties hereto and by any person claiming by, through or
     under the parties hereto and (iv) under no circumstances will U.S Bank
     National Association, in its individual capacity be personally liable for
     the payment of any indebtedness or expenses or be personally liable for the
     breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant
     made or undertaken under this Confirmation. Nothing herein contained shall
     be construed as creating any liability on U.S Bank National Association,
     individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or
     implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly
     waived by the parties who are signatories to this letter agreement and by
     any person claiming by, through or under such parties.

          or the Confirmation in respect of that Transaction.

          (2) EVALUATION AND UNDERSTANDING.

               (i) Each Party acknowledges that U.S. Bank National Association,

               enter into this Transaction as Trustee on behalf of the
               Counterparty.

               (ii) It is acting for its own account and has the capacity to
               evaluate (internally or through independent professional advice)
               the Transaction and has made its own decision to enter into the
               Transaction; it is not relying on any communication (written or
               oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a
               recommendation to enter into such transaction; it being
               understood that information and explanations related to the terms
               and conditions of such transaction shall not be considered
               investment advice or a recommendation to enter into such
               transaction. No communication (written or oral) received from the
               other party shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to
               the expected results of the transaction; and

               (iii) It understands the terms, conditions and risks of the
               Transaction and is willing and able to accept those terms and
               conditions and to assume (and does, in fact assume) those risks,
               financially and otherwise.

          (3) PRINCIPAL. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an

          traded on a "trading facility" within the meaning of Section 1a(33) of
          the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.

          (i) SWAP AGREEMENT. Each Transaction is a "swap agreement" as defined
          in 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(e)(8)(D)(vi) and a "covered swap agreement"
          as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. Section 27(d)(1))."

     7) SET-OFF. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
existing or future agreement (but without limiting the provisions of Section
2(c) and Section 6, except as provided in the next sentence), each party
irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or
otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any
obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any obligation
between it and the other party under any other agreements. The last sentence of
the first paragraph of Section 6(e) shall not apply for purposes of this
Transaction.

     8) RATINGS DOWNGRADE. For purposes of each Transaction:

     (a) DEFINITIONS. (1) "RATING AGENCY CONDITION" means, with respect to any
     action taken or to be taken hereunder, a condition that is satisfied when
     each of Moody's and S&P (each a "RATING AGENCY", and the rating condition
     with respect to it, the "MOODY'S RATING CONDITION" and "S&P RATING
     CONDITION", respectively) has confirmed in writing to the trustee of the
     Supplemental Interest Trust that such action will not result in withdrawal,
     reduction or other adverse action with respect to any then-current rating
     by such Rating Agency of the Certificates; (2) "QUALIFYING RATINGS" means,
     with respect to the debt of any assignee or guarantor hereunder, (A) a
     short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of "P-1" (not on watch
     for downgrade), and a long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt of "A1"
     (not on watch for downgrade) (or, if it has no short-term unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt rating, a long term rating of "Aa3" (not on watch for
     downgrade) by Moody's, and (B) a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated
     debt rating of "A-1", or if it does not have a short-term rating, a
     long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of "A+" by S&P; (3) a
     "COLLATERALIZATION EVENT" shall occur with respect to BNY (or any
     applicable credit support provider) if: (A) its short-term unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to "P-2" or below, and its long-term
     unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced to "A3" or below, or, if it
     has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating, its long term
     rating is reduced to "A2" or below, by Moody's (a "MOODY'S
     COLLATERALIZATION EVENT"), or (B) its short-term unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to "A-2" or below, or, if it does not
     have a short-term rating, its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
     rating is reduced to "A" or below by S&P (an "S&P COLLATERALIZATION
     EVENT"); and (4) a "RATINGS EVENT" shall occur with respect to BNY (or any
     applicable credit support provider) if: (A) its short-term unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced to "P-3" or below and
     its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced to "Baa1" or
     below, or, if it has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
     rating, its long term rating is reduced to "Baa1" or below, by Moody's (a
     "MOODY'S RATINGS EVENT"), or (B) its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated
     debt rating is withdrawn or reduced to "BB+" or below by S&P (an "S&P
     RATINGS EVENT").

     (b) ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. Subject, in each case to satisfaction of the
     Rating Agency Condition: (1) if a Collateralization Event occurs with
     respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support provider), then BNY shall,
     at its own expense, within thirty (30) days of such Collateralization
     Ratings Event: (A) post collateral in accordance with the Credit Support
     Annex; or (B) on terms substantially similar to this Agreement assign or
     transfer the Transactions to or replace the Transactions with transactions
     with a third party approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be
     unreasonably withheld) the ratings of which (or of the guarantor of which)
     meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings; or (C) obtain a guaranty

<PAGE>

Page 15 of 22

     of or a contingent agreement to honor BNY's obligations under this
     Agreement by a third party approved by the Counterparty (such approval not
     to be unreasonably withheld) the ratings of which (or of the guarantor of
     which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings; or (D) establish any other
     arrangement approved by the Counterparty (such approval not to be
     unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the Rating Condition; and (2) if a
     Ratings Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable Credit Support
     Provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within ten (10) Business
     Days of such Ratings Event: (A) on terms substantially similar to this
     Agreement assign or transfer the Transactions to or replace the
     Transactions with transactions with a third party approved by the
     Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) the ratings of
     which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings,
     or (B) obtain a guaranty of or a contingent agreement to honor BNY's
     obligations under this Agreement by a third party approved by the
     Counterparty (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) the ratings of
     which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings;
     or (C) establish any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty (such
     approval not to be unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the Rating
     Condition.

     9) COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB.

     If the Depositor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement still has a
     reporting obligation with respect to this Transaction pursuant to
     Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("REGULATION AB") and BNY has
     not, within 30 days after receipt of a Swap Disclosure Request complied
     with the provisions set forth below in this Paragraph 4(9) (provided that
     if the significance percentage reaches 10% after a Swap Disclosure Request
     has been made to BNY, BNY must comply with the provisions set forth below
     in this Section 4(9) within 10 calendar days of BNY being informed of the
     significance percentage reaching 10%), then an Additional Termination Event
     shall have occurred with respect to BNY and BNY shall be the sole Affected
     Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

     BNY acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with
     respect to this Transaction under Regulation AB, the Depositor is required
     under Regulation AB to disclose certain information set forth in Regulation
     AB regarding BNY or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable,
     depending on the aggregate "significance percentage" of this Agreement and
     any other derivative contracts between BNY or its group of affiliated
     entities, if applicable, and the Counterparty, as calculated from time to
     time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

     If the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the
     significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9)
     percent, then the Depositor may request on a Business Day after the date of
     such determination from BNY the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)
     of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance
     percentage had in fact increased to ten (10) percent (such request, a "SWAP
     DISCLOSURE REQUEST" and such requested information, subject to the last
     sentence of this paragraph, is the "SWAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE"). The
     Counterparty or the Depositor shall provide BNY with the calculations and
     any other information reasonably requested by BNY with respect to the
     Depositor's determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request. The
     parties hereto further agree that the Swap Financial Disclosure provided to
     meet the Swap Disclosure Request may be, solely at

<PAGE>

Page 16 of 22

     BNY's option, either the information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item
     1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB.

     Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, BNY, at its own expense,
     shall (x) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, or (y)
     subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, secure another entity to replace BNY
     as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement
     which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted
     by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by
     incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities
     Exchange Act.

     10) BNY PAYMENTS TO BE MADE TO TRUSTEE. BNY will, unless otherwise directed
by the Trustee, make all payments hereunder to the Trustee. Payment made to the
Trustee at the account specified herein or to another account specified in
writing by the Trustee shall satisfy the payment obligations of BNY hereunder to
the extent of such payment.

     11) RETURN OF AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY MLML OR ITS AFFILIATES. Merrill Lynch
Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that amounts paid
hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class of Certificates
rated by any Rating Agency if such holder is MLML or any of its affiliates. If
MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts, it will promptly remit
(or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of MLML, MLML hereby agrees
that it will cause such affiliate to promptly remit) such amounts to the
Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will promptly remit such amounts to BNY. MLML
further agrees to provide notice to BNY upon any remittance to the Trustee.

     Secured Party or the Custodian (the "SWAP COLLATERAL ACCOUNT").

     (vii) INVESTMENT OF CASH POSTED COLLATERAL. Cash Posted Collateral shall be
     invested in Eligible Investments as directed by Party A. Such instructions
     may be delivered as standing instructions.

     (viii) RETURN OF POSTED COLLATERAL. At any time a Collateralization Event
     or Ratings Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to Party A,
     Party A shall be obligated to transfer Eligible Collateral in accordance
     with the terms of this Annex. If a Collateralization Event or Rating Event
     occurs and thereafter ceases to be continuing (and provided that no Event
     of Default or Potential Event of Default exists with respect to Party A) or
     Party A has made a Permitted Transfer under this Agreement, then Party A's
     obligations to transfer Eligible Collateral under this Annex will
     immediately cease with respect to that Collateralization Event, and Party B
     will, upon demand by Party A, return to Party A, or cause its Custodian to
     return, all Posted Collateral held under this Annex. The Secured Party is
     authorized to liquidate any Posted Collateral pursuant to written
     instructions from Party A.

     (ix) EXTERNAL VERIFICATION OF MARK-TO-MARKET VALUATIONS. If the long term
     senior unsecured debt of Party A is rated BBB or lower by S&P, once every
     month, Party A will, at it's own expense, verify its determination of
     Exposure of the Transaction on the next Valuation Date by seeking
     quotations from two (2) Reference Market-makers (provided that any
     Reference Market-maker may not be used more than four times within each 12
     month period) for their determination of Exposure of the Transaction on
     such Valuation Date and the Valuation Agent will use the greater of either
     (a) its own determination or

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

     (b) the high quotation for a Reference Market-maker, if applicable for the
     next Valuation Date. Party A shall provide the Quotations of such Reference
     Market-makers to S&P.

     (x) EXPENSES. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be responsible
     for, and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and other taxes
     and other costs involved in the transfer of Eligible Collateral.

     (xi) LIMIT ON SECURED PARTY'S LIABILITY. The Secured Party will not be
     liable for any losses or damages that the Pledgor may suffer as a result of
     any failure by the Secured Party to perform, or any delay by it in
     performing, any of its obligations under this Annex if the failure or delay
     results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Secured
     Party or its Custodian, such as interruption or loss of computer or
     communication services, labor disturbance, natural disaster or local or
     national emergency.

Holders”) shall each be entitled:

some or all of their Registrable Shares under the Securities Act (other than a
shelf registration under Rule 415 which shall be requested pursuant to subsection
(ii) below) on any Commission form then available for use by the Company therefor
(together with any registration covered by subsection (ii) below, a “Demand
Registration”); and

     (ii) if the Company and the proposed offering qualifies for the use of Form
S-3 under the Securities Act (or any successor form thereto), to make a Demand for
a Demand Registration on Form S-3 (or such successor form),

- 3 -

 

provided that the aggregate offering value must be reasonably expected to
equal at least $10,000,000 (or such lower amount as represents all Registrable
Shares held by the Initiating Holders).

All Holders shall be entitled to participate in any such Demand Registration, by whomever
initiated, pursuant to the terms, and subject to the limitations, of Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5
hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1.1, (a) the Clarity Holders will collectively
be entitled to no more than an aggregate of two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to clause (i)
above, (b) the Hitachi Holders will collectively be entitled to no more than an aggregate of two
(2) Demand Registrations pursuant to clause (i) above, and (c) subject to Section 2.1.3.3, each of
the Clarity Holders and the Hitachi Holders will be entitled to an unlimited number of Demand
Registrations pursuant to clause (ii) above.

          2.1.2 Selection of Underwriter. Any Demand Registration hereunder shall be on any
appropriate form under the Securities Act permitting registration of such Registrable Shares for
resale by such Holders in the manner or manners designated by the Initiating Holders (including,
without limitation, pursuant to one or more underwritten offerings), but subject to the next
sentence. The procedure for determining whether the offering will involve an underwritten offering
shall be determined by the Initiating Holders, and the managing underwriter(s) shall be selected by
the Initiating Holders; provided, however, (A) in the case of an underwritten
offering pursuant to this Section 2.1 that will include only secondary shares, (i) any
managing underwriter that did not manage or co-manage at least one previous underwritten registered
public offering of Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Initial Public Offering) shall
be approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the
Initiating Holders shall provide at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice to Hitachi
(in the case of a demand by the Clarity Majority) or to Clarity (in the case of a demand by the
Hitachi Majority) of the Initiating Holders’ selection of any managing underwriter that managed or
co-managed at least one previous underwritten registered public offering of Common Stock for
comment by Hitachi or Clarity (as the case may be) (it being understood that in the case of a
disagreement between the Initiating Holders and the commenting party with respect to the selection
of the underwriter(s) in accordance with this clause (ii), the Initiating Holders shall be entitled
to make the final determination with respect to the selection of underwriters); and (B) in the case
of an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2.1 that will include primary shares,
each proposed managing underwriter shall be approved by the Company. If requested, the Company
shall enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement with an investment banking firm in
connection with a Demand Registration containing reasonable representations, warranties,
indemnities and agreements then customarily included in underwriting or purchase agreements by such
underwriter with respect to secondary distributions of securities.

          2.1.3 Registration.

               2.1.3.1 Filing and Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company shall file a
registration statement with respect to such Demand Registration as promptly as practicable
following such Demand and use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the same to be declared
effective as promptly as practicable following such Demand. Unless all of the Registrable Shares
covered by the registration statement have

- 4 -

 

earlier been sold or withdrawn from sale or cease to be Registrable Shares, the Company shall
use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the effectiveness of any Demand Registration
for a period ending upon the sooner of (i) the sale of all Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement or the date on which the Holders of unsold Registrable Shares deliver
written notice to the Company that they no longer intend to offer or sell such securities pursuant
to the registration statement and (ii) the expiration of the period lasting one hundred eighty
(180) days (in the case of a shelf registration) or ninety (90) days (in the case of any other
registration) after such registration statement is first declared effective, plus (x) the number of
days during which the Selling Holders are prohibited from making sales pursuant to such Demand
Registration because of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission
or any other U.S. governmental agency or court and (y) the number of days constituting any Demand
Suspension Period (as defined in Section 2.1.3.2) (the “Demand Period”). A registration will not
count as a Demand Registration unless it is declared effective by the Commission and remains
effective until the earlier of (x) such time as all of the Registrable Shares included on a demand
basis in such registration have been sold or disposed of by the Selling Holders or cease to be
Registrable Shares, or (y) the expiration of the Demand Period. In addition, a request for
registration shall not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration for purposes of the preceding
sentence if: (i) the conditions to closing specified in any purchase agreement or underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason
of some act or omission by the Holders requesting such registration; (ii) the Company voluntarily
takes any action that would result in the Holder not being able to sell such Registrable Shares
covered thereby during the Demand Period; or (iii) if the Demand Registration does not involve an
underwritten offering, the Selling Holders determine not to proceed following any delay of more
than sixty (60) consecutive days imposed by the Company under Section 2.1.3.2 hereof,
provided, that prior to such delay, the Holders have not sold more than eighty percent
(80%) of the Registrable Shares included in such Demand Registration on a demand basis.

               2.1.3.2 Demand Suspension Period. Notwithstanding Section 2.1.3.1, the Company may,
at any time, delay the filing or delay or suspend the effectiveness of the Demand Registration or,
without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Selling Holders not to sell any securities
included in the Demand Registration or delay the filing of any amendment or supplement pursuant to
Section 2.1.3.4, if the Board has determined and promptly notifies the Selling Holders in writing
that in its reasonable good faith judgment (i) a material event has occurred or is likely to occur
with respect to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement)
that has not been publicly disclosed and, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to materially
and adversely affect the Company and its ability to consummate the Demand Registration or (ii) the
Demand Registration could reasonably be expected to interfere with any material financing,
acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, tender offer or other significant transaction
involving the Company (a “Demand Suspension Period”), by providing the Selling Holders with written
notice of such Demand Suspension Period and the reasons therefor. The Company shall use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such notice at least ten (10) days prior to the
commencement of such a Demand Suspension Period; provided, however, that in any
event the Company shall provide such notice no later than the commencement of such Demand
Suspension Period; provided, further, that in no event shall
one or more Demand Suspension Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 90 days during any consecutive
12-month period.

- 5 -

 

               2.1.3.3 Limitations on Demand Registration. Notwithstanding Section 2.1.3.1, the
Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement with respect to a Demand
Registration within six (6) months (or, if shorter, the underwriters’ lock up period applicable to
participants in such offering) following the consummation of any underwritten public offering of
shares of capital stock of the Company in which Registrable Shares of the Holders are included
pursuant to Section 2.2.

               2.1.3.4 Amendments and Supplements. Subject to Section 2.1.3.2, the Company further
agrees to supplement or amend such registration statement with respect to such Demand Registration,
as required by the registration form utilized by the Company or by the instructions applicable to
such registration form or by the Securities Act for the registration of securities or as reasonably
requested (which request shall result in the filing of a supplement or amendment subject to
approval thereof by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) by any Selling
Holder or any managing underwriter of Registrable Shares to which such Demand Registration relates,
and the Company agrees to furnish to the Selling Holders (and any managing underwriter) copies, in
substantially the form proposed to be used and/or filed, of any such supplement or amendment prior
to its being used and/or filed with the Commission. The Company shall prepare and file any
amendment or supplement as promptly as is commercially practicable. The Selling Holders shall
promptly notify the Company in writing upon completion of any offer or sale or at such time as such
Holders no longer intend to make offers or sales under any registration statement of the Company.
The Company shall be required to amend or supplement from time to time the registration statement
with respect to any Demand Registration to update the list of Selling Holders pursuant to written
requests by such Holders (provided the Company shall not be obligated to do so more frequently than
every forty-five (45) days).

               2.1.3.5 Review of Registration Statement. The Company will furnish to the Holders of
the Registrable Shares covered by a Demand Registration and the underwriters, if any, copies of all
documents proposed to be filed in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all
amendments and supplements to the registration statement, but excluding any documents (or portions
thereof) as to which confidential treatment under applicable Commission rules has been requested)
at least five (5) business days prior to such filing, which documents will be subject to the review
and reasonable comment, within such five (5) business day period, of such Holders and underwriters.
The Company will not file any registration statement in connection with a Demand Registration
without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares to be included in such
Demand Registration, which consent shall be deemed given if no written objection is received by the
Company on or before the end of such five business day period.

          2.1.4 Inclusion of Registrable Shares. Any written request for a Demand shall specify
the number of Registrable Shares to be registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.
Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Demand, the Company shall give written notice of
such registration request to the other Holders and the Company shall include in such registration
all Registrable Shares as to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
from such Holders within ten

- 6 -

 

(10) business days after the date on which such notice is given. Each such request shall also
specify the aggregate number of Registrable Shares to be registered and the intended method of
distribution thereof. The Company may also include in such Demand Registration shares of Common
Stock for the account of the Company and any other Persons who hold shares of Common Stock.

          2.1.5 Priority on Demand Registrations. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten
registration and the managing underwriters of such offering determine that the aggregate number of
Registrable Shares which the Selling Holders exercising their Demand Registration rights, the
Company and any other Persons desiring to participate in such Demand Registration propose to
include in such registration statement exceeds the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
can reasonably be expected to be sold within a price range acceptable to the Initiating Holders,
then the Company will include in such registration:

     (i) in the case of a Demand pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.1.1, first,
the Registrable Shares of the Clarity Holders (in the case of a Demand by the
Clarity Majority) or the Hitachi Holders (in the case of a Demand by the Hitachi
Majority), second, any securities requested to be included by other Holders, third,
any securities to be sold for the account of the Company, and fourth, the
securities requested to be included by other securityholders of the Company
pursuant to contractual rights to participate in such registration (the “Other
Securityholders”); and

     (ii) in the case of a Demand pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.1.1,
first, the Registrable Shares of the Holders, second, any securities to be sold for
the account of the Company, and third, the securities requested to be included by
Other Securityholders;

provided, however, in either case, the managing underwriters shall have the right
to eliminate entirely the participation of the Company and the Other Securityholders;
provided, further, in either case, that no such reduction may reduce the number of
Registrable Shares being sold by the Clarity Holders to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
shares requested to be sold by the Clarity Holders in such offering.

     If in connection with any market “cutback” pursuant to this Section 2.1.5, (a) the Registrable
Shares of the Clarity Holders who have requested that securities owned by them be included in such
registration shall be included on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Registrable
Shares then held by each such Clarity Holder, and (b) the Registrable Shares of the Hitachi Holders
who have requested that securities owned by them be included in such registration shall be included
on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Registrable Shares then held by each such
Hitachi Holder.

          2.1.6 Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company shall use
its best efforts to ensure that (i) any Demand Registration, and any amendment thereto, and any
prospectus forming a part thereof, and any supplement thereto, complies in all material respects
with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Demand Registration and
any amendment thereto does not, when it

- 7 -

 

becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(iii) any prospectus forming part of any Demand Registration, and any supplement to such
prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they
are made, not misleading.

     2.2 Piggyback Registration.

          2.2.1 Right to Include Registrable Shares. If at any time after the date hereof
(other than in connection with the Initial Public Offering), the Company proposes to register any
of its equity securities under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account, on
a form and in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Shares for a public offering
under the Securities Act (other than on a registration statement (i) on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any
successor form thereto or any other registration statement relating to a special offering to the
Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees) or (ii) filed in connection with an exchange offer or
(iii) filed in connection with a primary offering of securities of the Company for its own benefit
in connection with an employee benefit, share dividend, share ownership or dividend reinvestment
plan) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give written notice of the proposed
registration to each Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing thereof, and each Holder
shall have the right to request that all or any part of its Registrable Shares be included in such
registration by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after the giving of
such notice by the Company. Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company will include in such
registration, on such terms and conditions as the other securities to be included therein, all
Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
therein within such thirty (30) day period. If the registration statement is to cover an
underwritten offering, such Registrable Shares shall be included in the underwriting on the same
terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters.

          2.2.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) of such offering determine in their good
faith judgment that the aggregate number of securities, including shares of Common Stock, of the
Company which all Holders and all Other Securityholders propose to include in such registration
statement exceeds the maximum number of securities, including shares of Common Stock, that can be
sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering
or the selling price to be obtained, the Company will include in such registration: first, the
shares of Common Stock which the Company proposes to sell, second, the Registrable Shares of the
Selling Holders (pro rata among all such Selling Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable
Shares or other securities of the Company then held by each of such Selling Holders who have
requested that securities owned by them be so included), and third, securities to be sold for the
account of Other Securityholders; provided that no such reduction may reduce the number of
Registrable Shares being sold by the Clarity Holders to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
shares requested to be sold by the Clarity Holders in such offering.

- 8 -

 

          2.2.3 Underwriters. Registrable Shares proposed to be registered and sold in an
underwritten offering for the account of any Selling Holder pursuant to a Piggyback Registration
shall be sold to prospective underwriters listed on Schedule B hereto selected or approved
by the Company (provided, however, that any proposed underwriter not listed on
Schedule B shall be reasonably acceptable to the Clarity Majority and the Hitachi Majority)
and on the terms and subject to the conditions of one or more underwriting agreements negotiated
between the Company and/or Other Securityholders exercising contractual demand registration rights
and the prospective underwriters. The Selling Holders shall be permitted to withdraw all or a part
of the Registrable Shares held by such Selling Holders which were to be included in such Piggyback
Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such registration. The Company may withdraw
any registration statement for such registration at any time before it becomes effective, or
postpone the offering of securities, without obligation or liability to any Selling Holder.

     2.3 Registration Statement. In connection with any registration of Registrable Shares
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will furnish each Selling Holder
and each underwriter, if any, with a copy of the registration statement and all amendments thereto
and will supply each such Selling Holder with copies of any prospectus included therein (including
a preliminary prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto), in each case including all
exhibits, in such quantities as may be reasonably necessary for the purposes of the proposed sale
or distribution covered by such registration (the Company hereby consenting to the use in
accordance with all applicable federal securities laws of each such registration statement (or
amendment or post-effective amendment thereto) and each such prospectus (or preliminary prospectus
or supplement thereto) by each such Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with
the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement or
prospectus). The Company shall not, however, be required to maintain the registration statement
relating to a Demand Registration and to supply copies of a prospectus for a period beyond the
Demand Period and, at the end of such Demand Period, the Company may deregister any Registrable
Shares covered by such registration statement and not then sold or distributed. In connection with
any such registration of Registrable Shares, the Company will, at the request of the managing
underwriter with respect thereto (or, if not an underwritten offering, at the request of Selling
Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Shares to be included in the registration) use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares for sale under the
securities laws of such states as is reasonably requested to permit the distribution of such
Registrable Shares and, to use its reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or
qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept
effective and to do such other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities covered by the applicable registration
statement in accordance with applicable “blue sky” securities laws of such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereof to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction or becomes subject to taxation in any jurisdiction.

     In connection with any offering of Registrable Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company shall (i) furnish each Selling Holder, at the Company’s expense, certificates
representing ownership of the Registrable Shares which are sold pursuant to the

- 9 -

 

registration statement, in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing
underwriter, if any, or such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and (ii) instruct the
transfer agent and registrar of the Common Stock to release any stop transfer orders with respect
to the Registrable Shares so sold.

     2.4 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s obligations to effect a
registration pursuant to Section 2.1 and 2.2, the Company will promptly:

          2.4.1 cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”);

registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the

such agreement cease to be true and correct; (E) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (F) of the
happening of any event which it believes may make any statement made in the registration statement,
the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue and which requires the
making of any changes in the registration statement, the prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and (G) upon the
occurrence of a Demand Suspension Period;

          2.4.4 make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending
the effectiveness of the registration statement or the suspension of the qualification of the
Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, or to prevent any such suspension;

          2.4.5 subject to Section 2.1.3.2 if required, based on the advice of the Company’s counsel,
prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, the related
prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, the prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading;

          2.4.6 make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by the
registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange on

the New York Stock Exchange or for quotation on The Nasdaq Market, Inc. National Market (NASDAQ);

Shares covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective

          2.4.8 if necessary, use its best efforts to provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Shares,
not later than the effective date of the registration statement;

          2.4.9 use its best efforts to (A) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates
thereof addressed to managing underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in
opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested
by such underwriters, and (B) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s
independent certified public accountants addressed to any such managing underwriters, such letters
to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort”
letters by accountants in connection with underwritten offerings (each of the above being done at
each closing under such underwriting agreement or as and to the extent required thereunder);

          2.4.10 subject to the receipt of reasonably satisfactory agreements relating to
confidentiality, make available for inspection, in connection with the preparation of a
registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, by a representative of the Holders of
Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement, and any attorney or accountant retained
by such Holders, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company which such Persons may reasonably request, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative,
attorney or accountant in connection with such registration; provided, however,
that any records, information or documents that are designated by the Company in writing as
confidential shall be kept confidential by such persons unless disclosure of such records,
information or documents is required by court or administrative order; provided
further that appropriate arrangements are made, to the extent required by applicable
antitrust law, to limit access to such information in accordance with applicable anti-trust laws;
and provided further that, without limiting the foregoing, no such information
shall be used by any person in connection with any transactions in securities of the Company and
its subsidiaries in violation of law;

          2.4.11 not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purpose of, effect any
public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of its equity securities or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities during the seven (7)
days prior to and a period up to ninety (90) days after any underwritten registration pursuant
hereto has become effective, unless the underwriter managing such registration otherwise agrees,
and except for (A) offers or sales pursuant to Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms
thereto or pursuant to a primary offering of securities of the Company for its own benefit in
connection with an employee benefit, share dividend, share ownership or dividend reinvestment plan,
and (B) grants of options under its stock

- 11 -

 

option plans and may issue securities (i) pursuant to stock subscription agreements
outstanding prior to the beginning of such period, (ii) issuable upon the exercise or conversion of
outstanding convertible securities, stock options and other options, warrants and rights of the
Company, (iii) in private transactions for cash, and (iv) in connection with acquisitions; and

          2.4.12 otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission and make available to its securityholders as soon as reasonably practicable, an
earnings statement which satisfies the provision of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule
158 thereunder.

     2.5 Holdback Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, each
Holder of Registrable Shares agrees that:

     (i) in the event the Company is issuing new shares of its Common Stock to the public
in an underwritten offering (other than in the Initial Public Offering, which is addressed
in clause (ii) below) in which such Holder included Registrable Shares pursuant to Section
2.2 hereof, if so requested by the managing underwriter(s) in such offering, such Holder
will not offer for public sale (other than as part of such underwritten public offering)
any securities of the issue being registered or any securities similar to those being
registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, during the seven (7) days prior to and
such number of days (not in excess of ninety (90)) after the effective date of the
registration statement in connection with such public offering, without the consent of the
managing underwriter(s); and

     (ii) in the event of an Initial Public Offering, if so requested by the managing
underwriter(s) in such offering, such Holder will not offer for public sale (other than as
part of such underwritten public offering) any securities of the issue being registered or
any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144,
during the seven (7) days prior to and such number of days (not in excess of one hundred
eighty (180)) after the effective date of the registration statement in connection with
such Initial Public Offering, without the consent of the managing underwriter(s).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, Clarity may distribute its shares to its
Permitted Transferees; provided that each such transferee agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 2.5.

     2.6 Registration Expenses. All expenses, disbursements and fees incurred by the
Company in connection with carrying out its obligations under this Section 2 shall be borne by the

underwriting discounts, commissions, fees and expenses and all transfer taxes with respect to the
shares sold by such Selling Holder and (ii) all other expenses incurred by such Selling Holder and
incidental to the sale and delivery of the shares to be sold by such Holder.

- 12 -

 

     2.7 Conditions to Holder’s Rights. It shall be a condition of each Selling Holder’s
rights hereunder that:

          2.7.1 Cooperation. Such Selling Holder shall cooperate with the Company by supplying
with reasonable promptness information and executing documents relating to such Selling Holder or
the securities of the Company owned by such Selling Holder in connection with such registration
which are customary for offerings of this type or is required by applicable laws or regulations
(including agreeing to sell such Selling Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements containing customary terms reasonably satisfactory to such Selling
Holder); and

          2.7.2 Undertakings. Such Selling Holder shall enter into any undertakings and take
such other action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which the Company or the
underwriters may reasonably request as being necessary to insure compliance with federal and state
securities laws and the rules or other requirements of the NASD or which the Company or the
underwriters may reasonably request to otherwise effectuate the offering.

          2.7.3 Notice of Sale. In connection with and as a condition to the Company’s
obligations with respect to any shelf registration statement, each Holder of Registrable Shares
covenants and agrees that it will not offer or sell any Registrable Shares under the registration
statement until it has provided a written notice to the Company of such proposed sale (a “Shelf
Sale Notice”) and has received copies of the prospectus relating to such registration statement as
then amended or supplemented and notice from the Company that the registration statement and any
post-effective amendments thereto have become effective. Upon any notice contemplated by Section
2.1.3.2, such Holder shall not offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to the registration
statement until, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, the event which is the
subject of such notice no longer precludes sale or such Holder receives copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus disclosing information relating to such event, and, if so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies in its possession, other than permanent
file copies, of the prospectus as amended or supplemented at the time of receipt of such notice
under Section 2.1.3.2.

     2.8 Indemnification.

          2.8.1 Indemnification by the Company. In the case of any offering registered pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law and hold
each Selling Holder, its officers, directors, partners and members and each Person, if any, who
controls each Selling Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), harmless against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation reasonable and
documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which shall be reimbursed periodically as incurred)
(collectively “Losses”) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or
any other statute or common law or otherwise, insofar as any such Losses shall arise out of, be
caused by or shall be based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement relating to the sale of such Registrable Shares, or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein

- 13 -

 

or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or
supplement thereof), if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement, or
contained in the prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the
Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereof, including, the information deemed part of
such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430A promulgated under the Securities Act), if used
within the period during which the Company shall be required to keep the registration statement to
which such prospectus relates current pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein (if so used) a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the indemnification agreement contained in this Section
2.8.1 shall not apply to such Losses which shall arise from the sale of Registrable Shares to any
Person if such Losses shall arise out of, shall be caused by or shall be based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if (i) such
statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder specifically for use in connection with
the preparation of the registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or prospectus contained
in the registration statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) if such
untrue statement or omission was made in any preliminary prospectus if (a) the Selling Holder
failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus, if obligated to do so, with or prior to
the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Selling Holder of Registrable Shares to
the Person asserting the claim from which such Losses arise and (b) the final prospectus corrected
such untrue statement or such omission; or (iii) any such Losses arise out of, are caused by or are
based upon an untrue statement or omission in the prospectus, if (a) such untrue statement or
omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (b) having previously
been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or
supplemented, such Selling Holder thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or
supplemented, prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Shares to the person asserting
the claim from which such Losses arise.

          2.8.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Shares. Each Selling Holder,
severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law and hold the
Company and the other Selling Holders (other than Affiliates thereof), their respective directors,
officers, partners and members and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or such other
Selling Holders (within the meaning of the Securities Act), harmless against any and all Losses
arising out of, caused by or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus or form of prospectus, or arising out of, caused by or based
upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the preliminary prospectus and the prospectus, in each case,
including amendments or supplements, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not
misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Selling Holder to the Company
expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus; provided, however,
that the obligation to indemnify will be several and not joint and in no event shall the liability
of any Selling

- 14 -

 

Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by
any such Selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Shares under the registration statement
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

          2.8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In order for a Person (the “Indemnified
Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of,
arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a
“Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) in
writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by
such Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such
notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to
the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of
such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly
after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court
filings and related papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Claim.

          If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing
to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel
selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to
settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with a full release of the
Indemnified Party and no admission of liability. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to
assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible
pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the
defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof
unless the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a
timely manner against Claims. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own
expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be
liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during
which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution
of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s
request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably
relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the
Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit
any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the
Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall be free to admit liability with respect to, or
settle, compromise or discharge such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent to the extent that the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge

- 15 -

 

in
writing its obligation to indemnify hereunder with respect to such Claim within 20 business days
following the Indemnified Party’s delivery to the Indemnifying Party of (i) a written request for
such acknowledgement and (ii) a written notice describing the Claim and the basis upon which the
Indemnified Party seeks indemnity therefor in reasonable detail.

          The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive completion
of any offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration statement and the termination of
this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall
not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity
hereunder.

          2.8.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses or is insufficient to hold such
Indemnified Party harmless, then, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, each applicable Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions
that resulted in such Losses, (ii) in the case of the indemnification by one Selling Holder of
another, the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, from the offering of the Registrable Shares, and (iii) any
other relevant equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The relative benefits
to the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, the total proceeds received by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
connection with the offering to which such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses relate.
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact,
has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action, statement or omission.

          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 2.8.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.8.4, no
Indemnifying Party that is a Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable
Shares under the applicable registration statement exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          2.8.5 Underwriting Agreement to Govern. At such time as an underwriting agreement
with respect to a particular underwriting is entered into, the terms of any such underwriting
agreement shall govern to the extent inconsistent with Sections 2.8.1 and 2.8.2; provided,
however, that the indemnification provisions of such underwriting agreement as they relate
to Selling Holders are customary for registrations of the type then proposed and provide for
indemnification by such Selling Holders only with respect to written information furnished by such
Selling Holders (it being understood that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, not
requiring the expenditure of money, to attempt to persuade the underwriters to limit any such
indemnification obligations of a Selling Holder under such underwriting agreement to an amount
equal to the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder in the relevant offering).

     2.9 Rule 144. So long as the Company has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed
by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the
Commission thereunder and will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Shares may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell
Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended form time to
time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request
of any Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as
to whether it has complied with such requirements.

     2.10 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register
securities granted to the Holders under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 may be assigned by a Clarity Holder or
a Hitachi Holder (a) to any Permitted Transferee of such Clarity Holder or Hitachi Holder,
respectively, under the Stockholders’ Agreement or (b) in the case of a Clarity Holder, to any
other Person to which Registrable Shares are transferred by such Clarity Holder in compliance with
the provisions of Section 7, 8 or 9 of the Stockholders’ Agreement. Any Clarity Holder who makes a
transfer specified in clause (b) shall give written notice of such transfer to the Company prior to
or in connection with the transfer, and, as a condition to the transferee obtaining registration
rights under this Agreement, the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement.

     2.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof,
the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Clarity Majority and the Hitachi
Majority, enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of
the Company registration rights with respect to such securities unless such new registration
rights, including with respect to underwriters’ “cutbacks” and “standoff” obligations, are
subordinate to the registration rights granted Holders hereunder.

     2.12 Registration of Option Shares. As soon as practicable after the Initial Public
Offering, the Company shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto,
registering under the Securities Act all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock
options granted by the Company to its directors, officers, employees and consultants.

- 17 -

 

     2.13 Stockholders’ Agreement to Govern. In connection with a Qualified Public
Offering (as defined in the Section 6(e) of the Stockholders’ Agreement), the terms of Section 6 of
the Stockholders’ Agreement shall govern to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.

3. General.

     3.1 Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of its obligations under this
Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Shares, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby waives the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.

     3.2 Complete Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement and any documents referred to
herein or executed contemporaneously herewith constitute the parties’ entire agreement with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all agreements, representations, warranties, statements,
promises and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement may be amended, altered or modified only by a writing signed by the Company, the
Clarity Majority and the Hitachi Majority.

documents and writings and to perform such other actions which may be or become necessary or

the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
