        Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loan Groups.

        (a)     As of the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer's
delivery of the Notes and the Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor
does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the

any Escrow Account and all amounts from time to time credited to and the

Loans, and the Depositor's security interest in any collateral pledged to secure
the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties and any Additional
Collateral, and any proceeds of the foregoing, to have and to hold, in trust;
and the Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in
Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as indenture
trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Holders of the Securities and
for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and
delivered the Securities to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for
the Trust Estate. [In addition, the Depositor has caused the Class [   ] Note
Insurer to deliver the Class [   ] Note Insurance Policy for the benefit of the
Class [   ] Noteholders and has made an initial deposit to the Class [ ] Reserve
Fund of $[       ]].

        Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Depositor does hereby assign to the Trust all of its rights and interest under
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement (other than any right to receive Retained
Interest), including all rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreements to
the extent assigned under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, and delegates its
obligations thereunder. Upon the issuance of the Securities, ownership in the
Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the
Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders.
The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment and delegation, and shall be entitled
to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan 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 Indenture Trustee of any obligation of
the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage
Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as
specifically set forth herein.

        (b)     In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and
deposited with, the Indenture Trustee, and/or any custodian acting on the
Indenture Trustee's behalf, if applicable, the following documents or
instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each a "Mortgage File") so
transferred and assigned:

                (i)     with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the original
        Mortgage Note endorsed without recourse in proper form to the order of
        the Indenture Trustee, or in blank (in each case, with all necessary
        intervening endorsements as applicable);

                (ii)    the original of any guarantee executed in connection
        with the Mortgage Note, assigned to the Indenture Trustee;

                (iii)   with respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a
        Cooperative Loan, the original recorded Mortgage with evidence of
        recording indicated thereon. If, in connection with any Mortgage Loan,

        thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused

                                       30
<PAGE>

        by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered
        for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost, the Depositor
        shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its
        custodian), in the case of a delay due to recording, a true copy of such
        Mortgage, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an
        Officer's Certificate of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such
        Mortgage delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) is a true
        copy and that the original of such Mortgage has been forwarded to the
        public recording office, or, in the case of a Mortgage that has been
        lost, a copy thereof (certified as provided for under the laws of the
        appropriate jurisdiction) and a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
        the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor that an original recorded
        Mortgage is not required to enforce the Indenture Trustee's interest in
        the Mortgage Loan;

                (iv)    The original of each assumption, modification or
        substitution agreement, if any, relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as

        by the public recording office where such assumption, modification or
        substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy
        of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement, pending
        delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer's Certificate
        of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such assumption,
        modification or substitution agreement delivered to the Indenture
        Trustee (or its custodian) is a true copy and that the original of such
        agreement has been forwarded to the public recording office;

                (v)     with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan other than a
        Cooperative Loan, the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage
        Loan;

                (vi)    If applicable, such original intervening assignments of
        the Mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument (each, an
        "Intervening Assignment"), as may be necessary to show a complete chain
        of assignment from the originator, or, in the case of an Intervening
        Assignment that has been lost, a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable
        to the Indenture Trustee that such original Intervening Assignment is
        not required to enforce the Indenture Trustee's interest in the Mortgage
        Loans;

                (vii)   the original Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
        certificate, if private mortgage guaranty insurance is required;

                (viii)  with respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a
        Cooperative Loan, the original mortgagee title insurance policy or
        attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title;

                (ix)    the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage
        or equivalent executed in connection with the Mortgage or as to any
        security agreement, chattel mortgage or their equivalent that cannot be
        delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by
        the public recording office where such document has been delivered for
        recordation, a photocopy of such document, pending delivery of the
        original thereof, together with an Officer's Certificate of the
        Depositor certifying that the copy of such security agreement, chattel
        mortgage or their equivalent delivered to the Indenture

                                       31
<PAGE>

        Trustee (or its custodian) is a true copy and that the original of such
        document has been forwarded to the public recording office;

                (x)     with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative
        Loan Documents; and

                (xi)    in connection with any pledge of Additional Collateral,
        the original additional collateral pledge and security agreement
        executed in connection therewith, assigned to the Indenture Trustee.

        The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement
attached hereto as Exhibit B is intended to effect the transfer to the Indenture
Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, of the Mortgage Notes and the
Mortgages.

        (c)     (i) Assignments of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS
Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan shall be recorded; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such Assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of
Counsel (which must be Independent counsel) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee
and the Rating Agencies, recording in such states is not required to protect the
Indenture Trustee's interest in the related Non-MERS Mortgage Loans. Subject to
the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no
event more than [3] months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by
the applicable recording office), the Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the
Depositor and with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to be properly
recorded by the Servicer in each public recording office where the related
Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection
(b)(v) above with respect to a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan. With respect to each
Cooperative Loan, the Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and
with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions as
are necessary under applicable law in order to perfect the interest of the
Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.

                (ii)     With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Indenture
        Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with
        the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions as
        are necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to be clearly identified as
        the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes
        of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
        mortgages maintained by MERS.

        (d)     In instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee, under clause (b)(viii) above and is not so delivered, the
Depositor will provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Indenture
Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as
promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, but in any case
within [180] days of the Closing Date.

        (e)     For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after
the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of
delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee, or
to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, an Officer's
Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts

                                       32
<PAGE>

received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.01 have been so deposited. All
original documents that are not delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be held
by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders.

        Section 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Estate by Indenture Trustee: Review of
Documentation for Trust Estate.

        (a)     The Indenture Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof,
acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans
listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Indenture
Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee,
under this Section 2.02. The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor on
the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
A-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit
A-1, as applicable).

        (b)     Within [45] days after the Closing Date, the applicable
Custodian will, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and for the benefit of
Holders of the Notes, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required
documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face
to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties
thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor an Interim Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable
Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such
certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable
documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee, shall make sure that the documents are executed and endorsed, but shall
be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid,
binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any
responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or
authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

        (c)     If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above
the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian discovers any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not
appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or
otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a "Material Defect"), the
Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee, shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect
relates in the Interim Certificate delivered to the Depositor (and to the
Indenture Trustee). Within [90] days of its receipt of such notice, the
Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event,
the Depositor shall provide the Indenture Trustee with an Officer's Certificate
confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Depositor does not so cure
such Material Defect, it shall, if a loss has been

                                       33
<PAGE>

incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan
were not purchased from the Trust Estate, constitute a Realized Loss, and such
loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material
Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at the
Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the
Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon
mutual agreement acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss
would not have been incurred. The Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.03.
The failure of the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the
notice contemplated herein within [45] days after the Closing Date shall not
affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage
Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement
requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate.

        (d)     Within [180] days following the Closing Date, the Indenture
Trustee, or the applicable Custodian, shall deliver to the Depositor a Final
Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-3 (or in the
form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-3, as
applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession
or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.

        (e)     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an
assumption by the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Class [  ] Note Insurer of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any
Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

        (f)     Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodian shall
perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective
certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02.

        Section 2.03. Release of Mortgage Files.

        Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Securityholders on the
next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee (or the
applicable Custodian) by a certification (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request the Indenture Trustee or the applicable
Custodian, to deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee or the applicable
Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Indenture Trustee),
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to the
extent permitted under the Servicing Agreement, to give, as agent for the
Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage
Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of

                                       34
<PAGE>

such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may
be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

        From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall
be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee or the Custodian,
shall, upon request of the Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, release the related Mortgage File
held in its possession or control to the Servicer. Such trust receipt shall
obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or
Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt
of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that herein above specified,
the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian,
as applicable, to the Servicer.

        Section 2.04. Grant Clause.

        It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to property constituting the Trust Estate pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Securities and the Class [ ] Note Insurer a

        and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently
        conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this
        Agreement, and to create the trust pursuant hereto;

                (ii)    the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this
        Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
        the part of the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of this
        Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
        nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result
        in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of
        any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order
        binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of
        incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;

                (iii)   the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor
        of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
        hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice
        to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect
        of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except
        such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date
        hereof;

                (iv)    this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
        the Depositor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
        the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, constitutes a
        valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in
        accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be subject
        to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws
        affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and (B)
        general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is
        considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

                (v)     there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or,
        to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened or likely to be asserted
        against or affecting the Depositor, before or by any court,
        administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect
        to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with
        respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will
        be determined adversely to the Depositor and will if determined
        adversely to the Depositor materially and adversely affect it or its
        business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or
        adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
        Agreement;

                (vi)    immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the
        Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Depositor was the sole owner of record
        and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor had good and
        marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell each
        Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee free and clear, subject only to
        (1) liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
        payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit,
        any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants,
        conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
        of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable
        to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related
        Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the
        lender's Title Insurance Policy or attorney's opinion of title and
        abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan,

                                       36
<PAGE>

        and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
        which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere
        with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
        Mortgage, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien,
        pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and had full right and
        authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement
        with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to
        this Agreement;

        (b)     The representations and warranties of each Transferor with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement,
which have been assigned to the Trust hereunder, were made as of the date
specified in the applicable Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such
Transfer Agreement is in the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the
extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan
constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the applicable
Transferor under the applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or
warranty of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or
remedy of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder shall be the Indenture
Trustee's right to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor under
any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Indenture Trustee
acknowledges that the representations and warranties of the Seller in Section
1.04(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement are applicable only to facts or
conditions that arise or events that occur subsequent to the date as of which
the representations and warranties with respect to the related Mortgage Loans in
the Transfer Agreements were made, and which do not constitute a breach of any
representation or warranty made by the applicable Transferor in the applicable
Transfer Agreement. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that the Seller shall
have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation
or warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition
or event constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation
or warranty made by the applicable Transferor in the applicable Transfer
Agreement, without regard to whether such Transferor fulfills its contractual
obligations in respect of such representation or warranty. The Indenture Trustee
further 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 3.01(a)(vi)) under any
circumstances.

        Section 3.02. Discovery of Breach.

        It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i)
set forth in Section 3.01, (ii) of the Seller set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Sale Agreement and assigned to the Indenture Trustee by the Depositor hereunder
and (iii) of each Transferor, assigned by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant
to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trust by the Depositor
hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment
of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trust and shall continue throughout the
term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Issuer, the
Administrator or the Indenture Trustee or the Class [  ] Note Insurer of a
breach of any of such representations and warranties that adversely and
materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within [90]
days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the
Indenture Trustee and the Class [  ] Note Insurer by the Depositor or given by
the Seller and assigned to the Trust, the Depositor or the Seller, as
applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b)

                                       37
<PAGE>

repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from
the Indenture Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) substitute a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of
discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of any Transferor
assigned to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may enforce its rights
under the applicable Transfer Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders.

        Section 3.03. Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

        (a)     With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement or by any Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement,
the principal portion of the funds received by the Indenture Trustee in respect
of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment
and shall be deposited in the Collection Account. The Indenture 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 Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution
Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor,
the Seller or the applicable Transferor, 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 Indenture
Trustee (or its custodian), and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted
Mortgage Loan.

        (b)     With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) pursuant to the terms of
this Article III in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the
applicable Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the
Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b)
along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such
Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a);
and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties
made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as
practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
hereunder, the Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the
direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall (i) with respect to a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the
Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by the Servicer if required pursuant to
Section 2.01(c)(i), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are
necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner
of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to
Section 2.01(c)(ii).

<PAGE>

        (a)     Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date, the
Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain an account held in trust (the
"Collection Account"), entitled "[      ], as Servicer, in trust for the benefit
of the Holders of Aegis Asset Backed Securities Corporation [    ] Trust [    ],

Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall
establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within [30] days
and transfer all funds on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such
new Collection Account.

        (c) On each Deposit Date, the Servicer shall deposit the entire amount
on deposit in the Collection Account (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth
in Section 4.02), excluding such amounts not included in the Available Payment
Amount for such Payment Date pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) of paragraph
(i) of the definition thereof, into the Note Account and the Certificate
Account.

        (d) Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited into the Collection Account, no later than the Business
Day following the Closing Date, any amounts representing Scheduled Payments on
the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date and received by the Servicer on or
before the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the Collection Account on the applicable Remittance Date the
following amounts received or payments made by it (other than in respect of
principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off
Date):

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

                (ii)    all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage
        Loans (other than payments due prior to the Cut-off Date), net of the
        premium rate on any related Pool PMI Policy, if any and the Servicing
        Fee with respect to each such Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of
        the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection
        Account in accordance with Sections 5.03;

                (iii)   any unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect
        to a Mortgage Loan not otherwise specified in this paragraph (d),
        including all Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage
        Loans and REO Property, and all amounts received in connection with the
        operation of any REO Property, net of any unpaid Servicing Fees with
        respect to such Mortgage Loans, but only to the extent of the amount
        permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account in
        accordance with Sections 5.03; provided that if the Servicer is also the
        Retained Interest Holder with respect to any Mortgage Loan, payments on
        account of interest on the Mortgage Loans as to which the Servicer is
        the Retained Interest Holder may also be made net of the Retained
        Interest with respect to each such Mortgage Loan.

                (iv)    all Insurance Proceeds;

                                       39

        Servicing Agreement; and

                (vi)    all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan purchased by any
        Person.

        (e)     Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments (selected by and at the written direction of the Servicer) which
shall mature not later than the earlier of (a) the Deposit Date (except that if
such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Indenture Trustee or the Paying
Agent, if other than the Indenture Trustee, and such Collection Account is
maintained with the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, if other than the
Indenture Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than
such applicable Payment Date) or (b) the day on which the funds in such
Collection Account are required to be remitted to the Indenture Trustee for
deposit into the Note Account and the Certificate Account, and any such Eligible
Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such
Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Servicer (in its capacity
as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
or order from time to time, subject to Section 5.04, and shall not be part of
the Trust Estate. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by the Servicer out of
its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as
realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and
payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees need not be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account. In the event the
Servicer does not provide written direction to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, all funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain
uninvested.

        Section 4.02. Application of Funds in the Collection Account.

        The Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made,
withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

                (i)     to reimburse itself for Advances made by it pursuant to
        the Servicing Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such reimbursement
        shall be limited to amounts received on or in respect of particular
        Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and
        amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property
        subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of
        the Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which
        any such Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such
        reimbursement, that the Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the
        rights of the Securityholders;

                (ii)    to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances made by
        it that it determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts

                                       40
<PAGE>

        to which such Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or
        Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, it being
        understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Servicer's
        right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

                (iii)   to reimburse itself from Liquidation Proceeds for
        Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to the
        Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of
        damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such
        reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related
        Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
        applicable Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan
        to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such
        Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of
        any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor
        charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining
        thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in
        the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the Servicer's right
        thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

                (iv)    to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and
        recoverable by or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Servicing
        Agreement;

                (v)     to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each
        Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been

        received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related
        repurchase was effected;

                (vi)    subject to Section 5.03, to pay to itself income earned
        on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;

                (vii)   to make payments to the Indenture Trustee for deposit
        into the Note Account and the Certificate Account in the amounts and in
        the manner provided for in Section 4.04;

                (viii)  to make payments of the Retained Interest to the
        Retained Interest Holder on each Payment Date (other than any Retained
        Interest not deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with
        Section 4.01(d)(iii));

                (ix)    to make payment to itself and others pursuant to any
        provision of this Agreement;

                (x)     to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection
        Account;

                (xi)    to clear and terminate any Collection Account pursuant
        to Section 7.02;

                (xii)   to reimburse itself for such amounts as are due thereto
        under the Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to
        the Servicer to the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.

retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Penalty Amounts or
Prepayment Interest Excess.

        In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv)
and (vi) above, the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or
other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting for each
Mortgage Loan it services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account pursuant to such subclause (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi).

                (xii)   with respect to substitution of Mortgage Loans in the
        preceding calendar month, the Scheduled Principal Balance of each
        Deleted Mortgage Loan, and of each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan;

                (xiii)  the aggregate outstanding Interest Shortfalls and Net
        Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, for each Class of Notes, after
        giving effect to the payment made on such Payment Date;

                (xiv)   the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Payment Date
        with respect to each Class of Notes;

                (xv)    if applicable, the amount of any shortfall (i.e., the
        difference between the aggregate amounts of principal and interest which
        Securityholders would have received if there were sufficient available
        amounts in the Note Account and the Certificate Account and the amounts
        actually distributed);

                (xvi)   any other "loan-level" information for any Mortgage
        Loans that are delinquent three or more months and any REO Property held
        by the Trust that is reported by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee;

                (xvii)  any Insured Payments made in respect of Class [   ]
        Guaranteed Payments paid under the Class [  ] Note Insurance Policy; and

                                       43
<PAGE>

        In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii)
and (viii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000
of original principal amount of Notes.

        The foregoing information and reports shall be prepared and determined
by the Indenture Trustee based solely on Mortgage Loan data provided to the
Indenture Trustee by the Servicer no later than [four] Business Days prior to
the Payment Date.

        On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall also deliver or cause
to be delivered by first class mail to the Depositor a copy of the
above-described written report, to the following address: [        ], Attention:
[         ], or to such other address as the Depositor may designate.

        (b)     Upon the reasonable advance written request of any Noteholder
that is a savings and loan, bank or insurance company, the Indenture Trustee
will be promptly forward such request to the Servicer (to the extent required
under the Servicing Agreement) and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such
information and documentation from the Servicer, and provide to such Noteholder
such reports and access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans as such Noteholder may reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or other
regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Notes; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indenture
Trustee for the Servicer's actual expenses incurred in providing such reports
and access.

        (c)     Within [90] days, or such shorter period as may be required by
statute or regulation, after the end of each calendar year, the Indenture
Trustee shall send to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a
Securityholder of record, and make available to Security Owners (identified as
such by the Clearing Agency) in accordance with applicable regulations, a report
summarizing the items provided to Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.03(a) on an
annual basis as may be required to enable such Holders to prepare their federal
income tax returns. Such information shall include the amount of original issue
discount accrued on each Class of Notes and information regarding the expenses
of the Trust Estate. As provided by the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall
provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as is necessary for the
Indenture Trustee to prepare such reports.

        Section 4.04. Note Account and Certificate Account.

        (a)     The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name,
as Indenture Trustee, a trust account (the "Note Account"), to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Noteholders [and the Class [  ] Note Insurer] and a trust
account (the "Certificate Account"), to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, each until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The Note Account and the Certificate Account shall be Eligible
Accounts. If the existing Note Account or Certificate Account ceases to be an
Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee shall establish a new Note Account or
Certificate Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible Account within [20]
Business Days and transfer all funds on deposit in such existing Note Account or
Certificate Account into the new account. The Note Account shall relate solely
to the Notes issued under the Indenture and funds in the Note Account shall be
held separate and apart from and shall not be commingled with any other monies
including, without limitation,

                                       44
<PAGE>

other monies of the Indenture Trustee held under this Agreement. The Certificate
Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued under the Trust Agreement
and shall be held separate and apart from and shall not be commingled with any
other monies, including without limitation, other monies of the Indenture
Trustee held under this Agreement.

        (b)     The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be deposited into the Note
Account and the Certificate Account, as applicable, on the day on which, or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following the day
on which, any monies are remitted by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Note Account and the
Certificate Account, only for the following purposes:

                (i)     to withdraw amounts deposited in the Note Account or the
        Certificate Account in error;

                (ii)    to pay itself any investment income earned with respect
        to funds in the Note Account or the Certificate Account invested in
        Eligible Investments as set forth in subsection (c) below, and to make
        payments to itself and others pursuant to any provision of this
        Agreement;

                (iii)   to make payments of the Servicing Fee (to the extent not
        already withheld or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
        Servicer) to the Servicer;

                (iv)    to make payments to the Noteholders and the Class [   ]
        Note Insurer from the Note Account and to make distributions to the
        Certificateholders from the Certificate Account, each as provided in
        Article V; and

                (v)     to clear and terminate the Note Account and the
        Certificate Account pursuant to Section 7.02.

        (c)     The Indenture Trustee may invest, or cause to be invested, funds
held in the Note Account and the Certificate Account, which funds, if invested,
shall be invested in Eligible Investments (which may be obligations of the
Indenture Trustee). All such investments must mature no later than the next
Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All
such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in
its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be compensation for the Indenture Trustee and shall be subject
to its withdrawal on order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred
in respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee for
deposit in the Note Account or the Certificate Account, as applicable, out of
its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as
realized. Funds held in the Note Account and the Certificate Account that are
not invested shall be held in cash.

        Section 4.05. Determination of LIBOR.

        (a)     If the outstanding Notes include any LIBOR Notes or consist of
any LIBOR Components, then on each LIBOR Determination Date the Indenture
Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the offered LIBOR quotations of
the Reference Banks as of 11:00 a.m. London time on such LIBOR Determination
Date as follows:

                                       45
<PAGE>

                (i)     If on any LIBOR Determination Date two or more of the
        Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
        Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations
        (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal
        places);

                (ii)    If on any LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of
        the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
        Accrual Period will be whichever is the higher of (x) LIBOR as
        determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date or (y) the Reserve
        Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be either (A) the rate
        per annum which the Servicer determines to be the arithmetic mean
        (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal
        places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rates that New York City
        banks selected by the Depositor are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR
        Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two
        leading banks in the London interbank market or (B) in the event that
        the Indenture Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest
        one-month Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected
        by the Depositor are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading
        European banks; and

                (iii)   If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Indenture Trustee
        is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
        manner provided in paragraph (ii) above, LIBOR for the next Accrual
        Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination
        Date or, in the case of the first LIBOR Determination Date, the Initial
        LIBOR Rate.

        (b)     The establishment of LIBOR by the Indenture Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee's subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate or
Component Interest Rate (or Rates) applicable to the LIBOR Notes and LIBOR
Components for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error,
will be final and binding. In all cases, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively
rely on quotations of LIBOR for the Reference Banks as such quotations appear on
the display designated "LIUS01M" on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities
News.

        (c)     As used herein, "Reference Banks" shall mean four leading banks
engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency
market (i) with an established place of business in London, England, (ii) whose
quotations appear on the "Bloomberg Screen LIUS01M Index Page" (as described in
the definition of LIBOR) on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date and (iii)
which have been designated as such by the Depositor and are able and willing to
provide such quotations to the Depositor on each LIBOR Determination Date. The
Reference Banks initially shall be: Barclay's plc, Bank of Tokyo, National
Westminster Bank and Trust Company and Bankers Trust Company. If any of the
initial Reference Banks should be removed from the Bloomberg Screen LIUS01M
Index Page or in any other way fail to meet the qualifications of a Reference
Bank, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to designate alternate Reference
Banks.

        (d)     If (i) with respect to any LIBOR Determination Date LIBOR is
determined pursuant to clause (a)(iii) of this Section and (ii) on the next
succeeding LIBOR Determination Date LIBOR would, without giving effect to this
paragraph (d), be determined pursuant to such clause (a)(iii), then the
Depositor shall select an alternative interest rate index over which the

                                       46

<PAGE>

Depositor has no control that is used for determining Eurodollar lending rates
and is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent
third party, and such alternative interest rate index shall constitute LIBOR for
all purposes hereof.

        Section 4.06. The Class [  ] Reserve Fund.

        (a)     The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain the Class [ ]
Reserve Fund, which shall be an Eligible Account into which there shall have
been deposited the amount of $[ ] on the Closing Date. No additional funds will
be deposited in the Class [ ] Reserve Fund after the Closing Date. All funds
deposited in the Class [ ] Reserve Fund, other than investment earnings thereon
which shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to [Lehman Brothers Inc.],
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class [ ] Notes
until withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.02. The Indenture Trustee, upon the
instructions of the Depositor, may invest, or cause to be invested, funds in the
Class [ ] Reserve Fund in Eligible Investments (which may be the obligation of
the Indenture Trustee).

        (b)     The Indenture Trustee shall from time to time make withdrawals
from the Class [ ] Reserve Fund on behalf of the Trust Estate for the following
purposes:

                (i)     prior to each Payment Date, to withdraw from the Class
        [ ] Reserve Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (a) any Net Prepayment
        Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Reductions for Pool 2 allocable
        to the Class [ ] Notes for the related Payment Date, and (b) the amount
        on deposit in the Class [ ] Reserve Fund, and remit such amount to the
        Note Account for payment to the Class [ ] Noteholders and to the
        Certificate Account for payment to the Certificateholders on such
        Payment Date; and

                (ii)    on the earlier of (a) the Payment Date on which the
        Class Principal Amount of the Class [ ] Notes is reduced to zero and (b)
        the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01, to clear and
        terminate the Class [ ] Reserve Fund and to pay all amounts on deposit
        therein to [Lehman Brothers Inc.] at the address supplied by it to the
        Indenture Trustee for such purpose.

                                    ARTICLE V
                           PAYMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

        Section 5.01. Payments Generally.

        (a)     Subject to Section 7.01 respecting the final payment on the
Notes, on each Payment Date the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall make
payments in accordance with this Article V. Such payments shall be made by check
mailed to each Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register of the
Note Registrar (which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) and to each
Certificatholder's address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the
Certificate Registrar (which shall initially be the Owner Trustee) or, upon
written request made to the Indenture Trustee at least [three] Business Days
prior to the related Payment Date to any Noteholder owning an aggregate initial
Note Principal Amount of at least $[2,500,000], or, in the case of the Notional
Notes and Principal Only Notes, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the
expense of such Noteholder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the final payment in respect
of any Note shall be

                                       47
<PAGE>

made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Indenture Trustee. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of
the Holder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from
the related payment. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of
the Notes, each Residual Interest Certificate will remain outstanding until the
termination of the Trust and the payment in full of all other amounts due with
respect to the Residual Interest Certificate and at such time such final payment
in retirement of any Residual Interest Certificate will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Owner Trustee. If any payment required to be made on the Securities is to be
made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the
next succeeding Business Day. Payments to the Class [ ] Note Insurer shall in
all cases be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

        (b)     All payments or allocations made with respect to Noteholders
within each Class on each Payment Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Notes in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial Note
Principal Amounts (or initial Notional Amounts).

        Section 5.02. Payments from the Note Account and Certificate Account.

        On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee (or the Paying Agent on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee) shall withdraw from the Note Account and the
Certificate Account the Available Payment Amount with respect to each Mortgage
Pool, and shall distribute such amount to the Class [ ] Note Insurer, to itself
and to the Holders of record of each Class of Notes, in the following order of
priority:

                         [flow of funds to be provided]

        Section 5.03. Advances by Servicer and Indenture Trustee.

        (a)     Advances shall be made in respect of each Deposit Date as
provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines that any
Scheduled Payments due during the related Due Period (other than Balloon
Payments) have not been received, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the
Servicer will advance such amount, less an amount, if any, to be set forth in an
Officer's Certificate to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee on such
Determination Date, which if advanced the Servicer has determined would not be
recoverable from amounts received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including
late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise. If the
Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Deposit Date
immediately following such Determination Date either (i) remit to the Indenture
Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the Servicer) for deposit in
the Note Account and the Certificate Account immediately available funds in an
amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for
future payment or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.03, used
by the Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available funds
to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Account and the Certificate
Account or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and
(ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the
Collection Account for future payment to Noteholders and so used shall be
replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit in the Note Account and the Certificate

                                       48
<PAGE>

Account on or before any future Deposit Date to the extent that funds in the
Note Account and the Certificate Account on such Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Noteholders required to be made on the related Payment Date. The
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all
Advances made by it as provided in Section 4.02.

        (b)     In the event that the Servicer fails for any reason to make an
Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.03 on or before the
Deposit Date, the Indenture Trustee, pursuant to Section 6.08, shall, on or
before the related Payment Date, deposit in the Note Account and the Certificate
Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances required to be made by the
Servicer that would have been deposited in such Note Account or Certificate
Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by the Servicer with respect to
such Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture Trustee shall be
required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing so
and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments,
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Note Account and the Certificate
Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.03 as if it were the
Servicer.

        Section 5.04. Compensating Interest Payments.

        As provided in the Servicing Agreement, the amount of the Aggregate
Servicing Compensation payable to the Servicer in respect of any Payment Date
shall be reduced by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such
Payment Date, but only to the extent such Compensating Interest Payment is not
actually made by the Servicer on the applicable Remittance Date. Such amount
shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the
Servicer.

        Section 5.05. Payments of Principal on Redemption Notes.

        (a)     Except as provided in subclauses (d) and (f) below, on each
Payment Date on which payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of a
Class of Redemption Notes are made, such payments will be made in the following
order of priority:

                (i)     any request by the personal representative of a Deceased
        Holder or by a surviving tenant by the entirety, by a surviving joint
        tenant or by a surviving tenant in common or other Person empowered to
        act on behalf of such Deceased Holder upon his or her death, in an
        amount up to but not exceeding $100,000 per request; and

                (ii)    any request by a Living Holder, in an amount up to but
        not exceeding $10,000 per request.

        Thereafter, payments will be made as provided in clauses (i) and (ii)
above up to a second $100,000 and $10,000 per request, respectively. This
sequence of priorities will be repeated for each request for principal payments
made by the Note Owners of a Class of Redemption Notes until all such requests
have been honored.

        Requests for payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amounts of
Redemption Notes presented on behalf of Deceased Holders in accordance with the
provisions of clause (i) above

                                       49
<PAGE>

will be accepted in the order of their receipt by the Clearing Agency. Requests
for payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amounts of Redemption Notes
presented in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be
accepted in the order of priority established by the random lot procedures of
the Clearing Agency after all requests with respect to such Class presented in
accordance with clause (i) have been honored. All requests for payments in
reduction of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Redemption Notes with
respect to any Payment Date shall be made in accordance with Section 5.05(c)
below and must be received by the Clearing Agency and forwarded to, and received
by, the Indenture Trustee no later than the close of business on the related
Record Date. Requests for payments that are received by the Clearing Agency and
forwarded to the Indenture Trustee after the related Record Date and requests,
in either case, for payments timely received but not accepted with respect to
any Payment Date, will be treated as requests for payments in reduction of the
Class Principal Amount of the applicable Class of Redemption Notes on the next
succeeding Payment Date, and each succeeding Payment Date thereafter, until each
such request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided in Section 5.05(c). Such
requests as are not so withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without
the need for any further action on the part of the appropriate Note Owner of the
related Redemption Note, all in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing
Agency and the Indenture Trustee. Upon the transfer of beneficial ownership of
any Redemption Note, any payment request previously submitted with respect to
such Note will be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon the receipt by the
Indenture Trustee of notification of such withdrawal using a form required by
the Clearing Agency.

        Payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amounts of Redemption Notes
will be applied, in the aggregate, to such Notes in an amount equal to the
portion of the Available Payment Amount distributable to the Redemption Notes
pursuant to Section 5.02, plus any amounts available for payment from the
applicable Rounding Account pursuant to Section 5.05(e), provided that the
aggregate payment in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of any Class of
Redemption Notes on any Payment Date is made in an integral multiple of $1,000.

        (b)     A "Deceased Holder" is a Note Owner of a Redemption Note who was
living at the time such interest was acquired and whose authorized personal
representative, surviving tenant by the entirety, surviving joint tenant or
surviving tenant in common or other Person empowered to act on behalf of such
Note Owner upon his or her death, causes to be furnished to the Indenture
Trustee a certified copy of the death certificate of such Note Owner and any
additional evidence of death required by and satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee and any tax waivers requested by the Indenture Trustee. Redemption Notes
beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint tenants or tenants in
common will be considered to be beneficially owned by a single owner. The death
of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed to
be the death of the Note Owner, and any Redemption Notes so beneficially owned
will be eligible for priority with respect to payments in reduction of the Class
Principal Amount of such Class of Redemption Notes, subject to the limitations
stated above. Redemption Notes beneficially owned by a trust will be considered
to be beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such
beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's
beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Note Owners of a number of Individual
Redemption Notes greater than the number of Individual Redemption Notes of which
such trust is the beneficial owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust will
be deemed to be the death of a Note Owner of the Redemption Notes beneficially
owned by the trust to the extent of such

                                       50
<PAGE>

beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust. The death of an individual who
was a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy that
is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the beneficiary
of the trust. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was
entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in
Redemption Notes will be deemed to be the death of the Note Owner of such
Redemption Notes regardless of the registration of ownership of such Redemption
Notes, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Indenture Trustee. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical
cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership
under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other joint
ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interests shall
include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Redemption Note
and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and
payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amounts of the Redemption Notes
payable with respect thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any duty
to determine independently (a) the occurrence of the death of any deceased Note
Owner or (b) whether an individual is the personal representative of a Deceased
Holder, or the surviving tenant by the entirety, or the surviving joint tenant,
or the surviving tenant in common, or is otherwise the Person empowered to act
on behalf of such Deceased Holder (a "Representative"). The Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on a certificate executed by the Representative
indicating the nature of such Representative's authority on behalf of the
Deceased Holder. The Indenture Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation
delivered to it pursuant to this Section 5.05 in establishing the eligibility of
any Note Owner to receive the priority accorded Deceased Holders in this Section
5.05(b), and shall have no liability if it makes such determination in
accordance with such documentation.

        (c)     Requests for payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amount
of a Redemption Note must be made by delivering a written request therefor to
the Clearing Agency Participant or Financial Intermediary that maintains the
account evidencing the Note Owner's interest in such Redemption Note. Such
Clearing Agency Participant or Financial Intermediary should in turn make the
request of the Clearing Agency (or, in the case of an Financial Intermediary,
such Financial Intermediary should notify the related Clearing Agency
Participant of such request, which Clearing Agency Participant should make the
request of the Clearing Agency) on a form required by the Clearing Agency and
provided to the Clearing Agency Participant. Upon receipt of such request, the
Clearing Agency will date and time stamp such request and forward such request
to the Indenture Trustee. The Clearing Agency may establish such procedures as
it deems fair and equitable to establish the order of receipt of requests for
such payments received by it on the same day. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable for any delay in delivery of requests for payments or withdrawals of such
requests by the Clearing Agency, a Clearing Agency Participant or any Financial
Intermediary.

                In the event that any requests for payments in reduction of the
Note Principal Amount of Redemption Notes are rejected by the Indenture Trustee
for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.05, the Indenture
Trustee shall return such requests to the appropriate Clearing Agency
Participant with a copy to the Clearing Agency with an explanation as to the
reason for such rejection.

                The Indenture Trustee shall maintain a list of those Clearing
Agency Participants representing the Note Owners of Redemption Notes that have
submitted requests for payments in

                                       51
<PAGE>

reduction of the Note Principal Amount of such Redemption Notes, together with
the order of receipt and the amounts of such requests. The Indenture Trustee
shall notify the Clearing Agency and the appropriate Clearing Agency
Participants as to which requests should be honored on each Payment Date.
Requests shall be honored by the Clearing Agency in accordance with the
procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations, described in this
Section 5.05. The exact procedures to be followed by the Indenture Trustee and
the Clearing Agency for purposes of determining such priorities and limitations
shall be those established from time to time by the Indenture Trustee or the
Clearing Agency, as the case may be. The decisions of the Indenture Trustee and
the Clearing Agency concerning such matters shall be final and binding on all
affected Persons.

                Payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amounts of
Redemption Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date and the Note
Principal Amounts as to which such payments are made shall cease to bear
interest after the last day of the month preceding the month in which such
Payment Date occurs.

                Any Note Owner of a Redemption Note that has requested a payment
may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the Clearing Agency
Participant or Financial Intermediary that maintains such Note Owner's account.
In the event that such account is maintained by a Financial Intermediary, such
Financial Intermediary should notify the related Clearing Agency Participant
which in turn should forward the withdrawal of such request, on a form required
by the Clearing Agency, to the Indenture Trustee. If such notice of withdrawal
of a request for payment has not been received by the Clearing Agency and
forwarded to the Indenture Trustee on or before the Record Date for the next
Payment Date, the previously made request for payment will be irrevocable with
respect to the making of payments in reduction of the Note Principal Amount of
such Redemption Note on such Payment Date.

        (d)     To the extent, if any, that amounts available for payment in
reduction of the Class Principal Amount of any Class of Redemption Notes on a
Payment Date exceed the dollar amount of requests for payments with respect to
such Class that have been received by the related Record Date, as provided in
Section 5.05(c) above, payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of
such Class of Redemption Notes will be made by mandatory payments in reduction
thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency of the aggregate
amount of the mandatory payment in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of
such Class of Redemption Notes to be made on the next Payment Date. The Clearing
Agency shall then allocate such aggregate amount among its Clearing Agency
Participants on a random lot basis. Each Clearing Agency Participant and, in
turn, each Financial Intermediary, will then select, in accordance with its own
procedures, Individual Redemption Notes from among those held in its accounts to
receive mandatory payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of such
Class of Redemption Notes, such that the total amount so selected is equal to
the aggregate amount of such mandatory payments allocated to such Clearing
Agency Participant by the Clearing Agency and to such Financial Intermediary by
its related Clearing Agency Participant, as the case may be. Clearing Agency
Participants and Financial Intermediaries that hold Redemption Notes selected
for mandatory payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount thereof should
provide notice of such mandatory payments to the affected Note Owners.

        (e)     On the Closing Date, a Rounding Account shall be established
with the Indenture Trustee for each Class of Redemption Notes, and [Lehman
Brothers Inc.] shall cause to be initially deposited the sum of $[ ] in each
Rounding Account. On each Payment Date on which a payment is made in reduction
of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Redemption Notes, funds on deposit
in the applicable Rounding Account shall be, to the extent needed, withdrawn by
the Indenture Trustee and applied to round upward to an integral multiple of
$1,000 the aggregate payment in reduction of the Class Principal Amount to be
made on such Redemption Notes. Rounding of such payment on such Redemption Notes
shall be accomplished, on the first such Payment Date, by withdrawing from the
applicable Rounding Account the amount of funds, if any, needed to round the
amount otherwise available for such payment in reduction of the Class Principal
Amount of such Class of Redemption Notes upward to the next integral multiple of
$1,000. On each succeeding Payment Date on which payments in reduction of the
Class Principal Amount of such Class of Redemption Notes are to be made, the
aggregate amount of such payments allocable to such Class of Redemption Notes
shall be applied first to repay any funds withdrawn from the applicable Rounding
Account and not previously repaid, and then the remainder of such allocable
amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded upward and applied as payments in
reduction of the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Redemption Notes; this
process shall continue on succeeding Payment Dates until the Class Principal
Amount of such Class of Redemption Notes has been reduced to zero. The Indenture
Trustee, upon the instructions of the Depositor, may invest, or cause to be
invested funds in and Rounding Account in Eligible Investments (which may be
obligations of the Indenture Trustee). The Indenture Trustee shall distribute
interest earnings, if any, on amounts held in any Rounding Account as such
interest is earned pursuant to written instructions from [Lehman Brothers Inc.]
to the Indenture Trustee. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for
investment losses resulting from investment of funds in the Rounding Accounts
made in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor.

        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Payment Date on
which payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of any Class of
Redemption Notes will reduce the Class Principal Amount thereof to zero or in
the event that payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of such Class
of Redemption Notes are made in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Section 5.05(f), an amount equal to the difference between $[ ] and the sum then
held in the applicable Rounding Account shall be paid from the Available Payment
Amount for such Payment Date to such Rounding Account. Any funds then on deposit
in such Rounding Account shall be distributed to [Lehman Brothers Inc.]

        (f)     Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Payment Date following the first Payment Date on or after the Credit Support
Depletion Date, all payments in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of any
Class of Redemption Notes will be made among the Holders of such Class of Notes,
pro rata, based on their Note Principal Amounts, and will not be made in
integral multiples of $1,000 or pursuant to requested payments or mandatory
payments by random lot.

        (g)     In the event that Definitive Notes representing any Class of
Redemption Notes are issued pursuant to the Indenture, all requests for payments
or withdrawals of such requests relating to such Class must be submitted to the
Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall perform the functions
described in Section 5.05(a) through (c) using its own procedures, which

                                       53
<PAGE>

procedures shall, to the extent practicable, be consistent with the procedures
described in Section 5.05(a) through (c).

        Section 5.06. The Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy.

        (a)     If, on the second Business Day before any Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee determines that an Insured Payment is required to be made by
the Class [ ] Note Insurer on such Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall
determine the amount of any such Insured Payment and shall give notice to the
Class [ ] Note Insurer by completing a Notice of Nonpayment in the form of
Exhibit A to the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy and submitting such Notice of
Nonpayment by 12:00 noon, New York City time on such second Business Day as a
claim for an Insured Payment. The Indenture Trustee's responsibility for
delivering a Notice of Nonpayment to the Class [ ] Note Insurer, as provided in
the preceding sentence, is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of the information provided by the Servicer.

        (b)     In the event the Indenture Trustee receives a certified copy of
an order of the appropriate court that any scheduled payment of principal or
interest on a Class [ ] Note has been voided in whole or in part as a preference
payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall (i)
promptly notify the Class [ ] Note Insurer, as appropriate, and the Fiscal
Agent, if any, and (ii) comply with the provisions of the Class [ ] Note
Insurance Policy to obtain payment by the Class [ ] Note Insurer of such voided
scheduled payment. In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall mail notice to all
Holders of the Class [ ] Notes so affected that, in the event that any such
Holder's scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to
payment pursuant to the terms of the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy, a copy of
which shall be made available to such Holders by the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Class [ ] Note Insurer and the
appropriate Fiscal Agent, if any, its records listing the payments on the
affected Class [ ] Notes, if any, that have been made by the Indenture Trustee
and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which
such payments were made by the Indenture Trustee.

        (c)     At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes
hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust
account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Holders of the
Class [ ] Notes (the "Class [ ] Policy Payments Account") over which the
Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The
Class [ ] Policy Payments Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Indenture
Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy
into the Class [ ] Policy Payments Account and distribute such amount only for
the purposes of making payments to Holders of the Class [ ] Notes in respect of
the Class [ ] Guaranteed Payments (or other amounts payable pursuant to
paragraph (b) above on the Class [ ] Notes by the Class [ ] Note Insurer
pursuant to the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy) for which the related claim was
made under the Class [ ] Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the
Indenture Trustee to Holders of Class [ ] Notes affected by such shortfalls in
the same manner as principal and interest payments are to be allocated with
respect to such Notes pursuant to Section 5.02. It shall not be necessary for
such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or
wire transfers used to make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn from
the Note Account and the Certificate Account. However, any payments made on the
Class [ ] Notes from funds in the Class [ ] Policy Payments Account shall be
noted as provided in

                                       54
<PAGE>

subsection (e) below. Funds held in the Class [ ] Policy Payments Account shall
not be invested by the Indenture Trustee.

        (d)     Any funds received from the Class [ ] Note Insurer for deposit
into the Class [ ] Policy Payments Account pursuant to the Class [ ] Note
Insurance Policy in respect of a Payment Date or otherwise as a result of any
claim under such Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy shall be applied by the
Indenture Trustee directly to the payment in full (i) of the Insured Payments
due on such Payment Date on the Class [ ] Notes, or (ii) of other amounts to
which payments under the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy are to be applied.
Funds received by the Indenture Trustee as a result of any claim under the Class
[ ] Note Insurance Policy shall be used solely for payment to the Holders of the
Class [ ] Notes and may not be applied for any other purpose, including, without
limitation, satisfaction of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Indenture
Trustee or the Trust Estate. Any funds remaining in the Class [ ] Policy
Payments Account on the first Business Day after each Payment Date shall be
remitted promptly to the Class [ ] Note Insurer pursuant to the written
instruction of the Class [ ] Note Insurer.

        (e)     The Indenture Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records
in respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by the Class [ ] Note Insurer and
deposited into the Class [ ] Policy Payments Account and (ii) the allocation of
such funds to (A) payments of interest on and principal in respect of any Class
[ ] Notes, (B) Realized Losses allocated to the Class [ ] Notes, (C) Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and Relief Act Reductions allocated to the Class
[ ] Notes, and (D) payments in respect of Preference Amounts. The Class [ ] Note
Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during
normal business hours upon [three] Business Days' prior notice to the Indenture
Trustee. Any Insured Payments disbursed by the Indenture Trustee from proceeds
of the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy shall be considered payment by the Class
[ ] Note Insurer and not by the Trust Estate with respect to the Class [ ] Notes
and the Class [ ] Notes Insurer will be entitled to receive the related
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 5.02.

        (f)     The Indenture Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of a Class
[ ] Note by its acceptance of such Class [ ] Note agrees, that, without the need
for any further action on the part of the Class [ ] Note Insurer or the
Indenture Trustee, to the extent the Class [ ] Note Insurer makes Insured
Payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any
Class [ ] Notes, the Class [ ] Note Insurer will be fully subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Class [ ] Notes to receive the related
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 5.02. The Class [ ] Noteholders, by
acceptance of the Class [ ] Notes, assign their rights as Holders of the Class [
] Notes to the extent of the Class [ ] Note Insurer's interest with respect to
amounts paid under the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy. Each of the Depositor
and Indenture Trustee agrees to such subrogation and, further agrees to execute
such instruments and to take such actions as, in the sole judgment of the Class
[ ] Note Insurer are necessary to evidence such subrogation and, subject to the
priority of payment provisions of this Agreement, to perfect the rights of the
Class [ ] Note Insurer to receive any moneys paid or payable in respect of the
Class [ ] Notes under this Agreement or otherwise. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, solely for purposes of determining the Class [ ] Note
Insurer's rights as subrogee for payments distributable pursuant to Section
5.02, any payment with respect to payments to the Class [ ] Notes that is made
with funds received pursuant to the terms of the Class [ ] Note Insurance Policy
shall not be considered payment of the Class [ ] Notes from the

                                       55
<PAGE>

Trust Estate and shall not result in the payment or the provision for the
payment in reduction of the Class Principal Amount of the Class [ ] Notes or
Accrued Note Interest thereon, within the meaning of Article V.

        (g)     Upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Class [ ] Note Insurer
of such Event of Default.

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

        (i)     The Indenture Trustee shall surrender the Class [ ] Note
Insurance Policy to the Class [ ] Note Insurer for cancellation upon the
termination of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI
               CONCERNING THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE; EVENTS OF DEFAULT

        Section 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

        (a)     The Indenture Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event
of Default (of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have
actual knowledge), undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of the Indenture
Trustee provided for in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the
Indenture Trustee. If an Event of Default (of which a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge) has occurred and has not
otherwise been cured or waived, the Indenture 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 unless the Indenture
Trustee is acting as Servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of
care and skill as the Servicer hereunder.

        (b)     The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required
to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them
to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or
verify any numerical information furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement.

        (c)     The Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its negligence or willful
misconduct. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

                (i)     The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable
        with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
        in good faith in accordance with the consent or direction of Holders of
        Notes as provided in Section 6.18 hereof;

                (ii)    For all purposes under this Agreement, the Indenture
        Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
        (other than resulting from a failure by the Servicer (i) to remit funds
        (or to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to the Indenture
        Trustee when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of the
        Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
        of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
        Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice
        references the Holders of the Notes and this Agreement;

                (iii)   No provision of this Agreement shall require the
        Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
        financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
        or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall

                                       57
<PAGE>

        have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
        adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
        assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement
        shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be
        responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of
        the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as
        the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
        rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance
        with the terms of this Agreement; and

                (iv)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any
        act or omission of the Servicer. In particular, the Indenture Trustee
        shall not be liable for any servicing errors or interruptions resulting
        from any failure of the Servicer or the Servicer to maintain computer
        and other information systems that are year 2000 compliant.

        (d)     The Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall use its best efforts to remit to the
Servicer upon receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other
document (i) which is delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture
Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii)
which contains information sufficient to permit the Indenture Trustee to make a
determination that the real property to which such document relates is a
Mortgaged Property.

        (e)     The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with the direction of Noteholders of any Class holding Notes which
evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%
as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement.

        (f)     Subject to Section 4.04, the Indenture Trustee shall not be held
liable by reason of any insufficiency in any account (including without
limitation the Collection Amount) held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein
(except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has
defaulted thereon).

        (g)     Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall
have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this
Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or
continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any
re-recording, re-filing or re-depositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or
other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with
respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than
from funds available in the Collection Account, the Note Account or the
Certificate Account, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

                                       58
<PAGE>

        (h)     The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable in its individual
capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
other officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

        (i)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential
losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost
profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

        Section 6.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee.

        Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

                (i)     The Indenture Trustee may request, and may rely and
        shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
        resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors, opinion of
        counsel or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
        report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, 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 Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and any
        advice of its counsel 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 Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for
        any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably
        believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
        powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                (iv)    Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
        continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any
        investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
        certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
        consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document (provided the
        same appears regular on its face), unless requested in writing to do so
        by Holders of at least a majority in Class Principal Amount (or Class
        Notional Amount) of each Class of Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the
        payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs,
        expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
        such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not
        reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to
        it by the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require
        reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability or payment of
        such estimated expenses as a condition to proceeding. The reasonable
        expense thereof shall be paid by the Holders requesting such
        investigation;

                (v)     The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
        powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
        or through agents, custodians, or attorneys, which agents, custodians or
        attorneys shall have any and all of the rights, powers, duties and
        obligations of the Indenture Trustee conferred on them by such

                                       59
<PAGE>

        appointment provided that the Indenture Trustee shall continue to be
        responsible for its duties and obligations hereunder to the extent
        provided herein, and provided further that the Indenture Trustee shall
        not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
        such agent or attorney appointed with due care by the Indenture Trustee;

                (vi)    The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
        exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
        to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
        hereto, in each case at the request, order or direction of any of the
        Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such

        security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
        may be incurred therein or thereby;

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

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

        Section 6.03. Indenture Trustee Not Liable for Notes.

        The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Notes (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Notes) or of any Mortgage Loan, or related document save
that the Indenture Trustee represents that, assuming due execution and delivery
by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by it and constitutes its valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except that such
enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws
and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors
generally, and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of
funds paid to the Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trust Estate by the Depositor or for the use or application of any
funds deposited into the Collection Account, the Note Account, the Certificate

        Section 6.04. Authenticating Agents.

        (a)     The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating

authenticating Notes. Wherever

                                       60
<PAGE>

reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Notes by the
Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed
on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a
trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities.

        (b)     Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

        (c)     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at
least [30] days' advance written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee
and the Depositor. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of
any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.10, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall
give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice
of such appointment to all Holders of Notes. Any successor Authenticating Agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or
liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Indenture
Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
for its services and, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, it shall be a
reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 6.12.

        Section 6.05. Indemnification of Indenture Trustee.

        The Indenture Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents
shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Estate for any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding and
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, including 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 Indenture Trustee
        shall have given the Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders written
        notice thereof promptly after the Indenture Trustee shall have knowledge
        thereof;

                                       61
<PAGE>

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

                (iii)   notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
        6.11, the Trust Estate shall not be liable for settlement of any such
        claim by the Indenture Trustee entered into without the prior consent of
        the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and shall
be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense
under any environmental law.

        Section 6.06. Fees and Expenses of Indenture Trustee.

        The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Indenture Trustee Fee
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust), to the extent provided herein,
and in addition, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and is
authorized to pay to itself the amount of income or gain earned from the
investment of funds in the Note Account and the Certificate Account.

        Section 6.07. Collection of Monies.

        Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all
money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and
property received by it as part of the Trust Estate and shall distribute it as
provided in this Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall not have timely
received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall request the Servicer to make such payment
as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Indenture Trustee shall
subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such request.

        Section 6.08. Events of Default; Indenture Trustee To Act; Appointment
of Successor.

        (a)     The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default," provided that such event also constitutes an
"event of default" under the Servicing Agreement:

                (i)     Any failure by the Servicer to furnish the Indenture
        Trustee the Mortgage Loan data sufficient to prepare the reports
        described in Section 4.03(a) which continues unremedied for a period of
        one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such
        failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee
        or to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of not less
        than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of
        each Class of Notes affected thereby; or

                (ii)    Any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe

        agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in the Servicing
        Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of [30]

        Policy required to be maintained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement)
        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
        Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the
        Holders of not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class
        Notional Amount) of each Class of Notes affected thereby; or

                (iii)   A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
        authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or
        receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
        marshalling 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 60 days or any Rating
        Agency reduces or withdraws or threatens to reduce or withdraw the
        rating of the Notes because of the financial condition or loan servicing
        capability of the Servicer; or

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

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

                (vi)    The Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all
        or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge into
        another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge
        into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a
        successor servicer as specified in the Servicing Agreement; or

                (vii)   If a representation or warranty set forth in the
        Servicing Agreement shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in
        any respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
        Noteholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such
        representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated
        or cured within 60 days after the date on which written notice of such
        incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the
        Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Indenture
        Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Note
        Principal Amount of each Class of Notes; or

                (viii)  A sale or pledge of the any of the rights of the
        Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or an assignment of the Servicing
        Agreement by the Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the
        Servicer thereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise
        permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement;

                (ix)    The Servicer at any time is not either an FNMA- or
        FHLMC- approved Seller/Servicer; or

                                       63
<PAGE>

                (x)     Any failure of the Servicer to remit to the Indenture
        Trustee any payment required to be made to the Indenture Trustee for the
        benefit of Securityholders under the terms of this Agreement, including
        any Advance, on any Deposit Date.

        If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this
Section 6.08 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable
law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within
any period of time prescribed by this Section 6.08, the Indenture Trustee, shall
by notice in writing to the Seller may, and shall, if so directed by Noteholders
evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional
Amount) of each Class of Notes, request the Seller to terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and in and
to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If an Event of Default described
in clause (x) of this Section 6.08 shall occur, then, in each and every case,
subject to applicable law, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the
Seller, shall promptly request the Seller to terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Seller
of such written notice, the Seller shall terminate the Servicer and appoint an
eligible successor servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and all authority and
power of the defaulting Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor
servicer; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be required to
make Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof, until a successor servicer has
been appointed. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to do
or accomplish all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the transfer
of servicing to the successor servicer. The Seller shall cause the defaulting
Servicer to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of
the defaulting Servicer's responsibilities and rights under the Servicing
Agreement including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment
of the servicing function and providing the successor servicer all documents and
records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the
successor servicer or its designee to assume the defaulting Servicer's functions
under the Servicing Agreement and hereunder and the transfer to the successor
servicer for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or
should have been deposited by the defaulting Servicer in the Collection Account
maintained by such defaulting Servicer and any other account or fund maintained
with respect to the Securities or thereafter received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. If so provided in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer being
terminated shall bear all costs of a servicing transfer, including but not
limited to those of the Indenture Trustee reasonably allocable to specific
employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial
consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Servicing Agreement, if
necessary.

        Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Servicer, each
terminated Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent
provided in Section 4.02(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (xi)
to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to the Servicer's
termination.

        If any Event of Default shall occur, the Indenture Trustee shall
promptly notify the Class [ ] Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies of the nature
and extent of such Event of Default. The Indenture Trustee shall immediately
give written notice to the Seller and the Servicer upon the Servicer's failure
to remit funds on the Deposit Date.

                                       64
<PAGE>

        (b)     On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination from the Seller pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and Section
6.08(a) hereof, or the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of the
Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, the Seller shall appoint a
successor servicer, which shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer
in its capacity as such under the Servicing Agreement and in accordance with
this Agreement. Such successor servicer shall have all rights and powers and be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and
arising thereafter placed on the Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
make Advances.

        Section 6.09. Additional Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Event of
Default.

        During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee, in addition to the
rights specified in Section 6.08, shall have the right, in its own name and as
indenture trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and
to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the
Securityholders and the Class [ ] Note Insurer (including the institution and
prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the
filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this
Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or
omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy
or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

        Section 6.10. Waiver of Defaults.

        35% or more of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Noteholders may waive
any default or Event of Default by the Servicer, except that a default in the
making of any required deposit to the Note Account and the Certificate Account
that would result in a failure of the Indenture Trustee to make any required
payment of principal of or interest on the Notes may only be waived with the
consent of 100% of the affected Noteholders. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

        Section 6.11. Notification to Holders.

        Upon termination of the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Class [ ] Note Insurer, the
Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register. The Indenture Trustee shall also, within [45] days after the
occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee, give written
notice thereof to Securityholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such [45]-day
period.

        Section 6.12. Directions by Noteholders and Duties of Indenture Trustee
During Event of Default.

        Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action
or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Servicer or any successor servicer from its rights and duties as servicer under
the Servicing Agreement and hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any
of the Noteholders, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further,
that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee,
in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Indenture Trustee in
good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it
in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting
Noteholders.

        Section 6.13. Action Upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and Upon
Event of Default.

        In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of
any action or inaction of the Servicer that would become an Event of Default
upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Indenture
Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer. For all purposes of this
Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any failure of the Servicer or any other Event of Default unless notified in
writing by the Depositor, the Servicer or a Noteholder.

        Section 6.14. Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.

        (a)     As provided in the Administration Agreement, the Administrator
will perform, or cause to be performed, such duties and take, or cause to be
taken, such actions, as are required to be performed or taken with respect to
the Trust under the Code, including the duties and actions of the Owner Trustee
under Section [5.05] of the Trust Agreement. The Administrator will prepare for
signature by the Owner Trustee and, upon obtaining such signature, shall file or
cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax or information
returns with respect to the Trust and the Securities containing such information
and at the times and in such manner as may be required by the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to Holders such statements or
information at the times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Administrator will not be required to compute the
Issuer's gross income; and provided, further, that the Administrator will not be
required to prepare and file partnership tax returns on behalf of the Issuer
unless it receives an opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the
Administrator's expense, but shall be at the expense of the Seller or other
party

                                       66
<PAGE>

furnishing such opinion) as to the necessity of such filings. The Owner Trustee
shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this Section.

        (b)     As provided in the Administration Agreement, the Administrator
will timely file all reports required to be filed by the Trust with any federal,
state or local governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Trust,
including the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1041 prepared for a grantor trust
signed by the Owner Trustee, and including any other reports that must be filed
with the Securityholders. Furthermore, the Servicer shall report to Holders, if
required, with respect to the allocation of expenses pursuant to Section 212 of
the Code in accordance with the specific instructions to the Administrator by
the Seller with respect to such allocation of expenses. Absent specific
instructions, the Administrator will allocate expenses to Holders based on the
right of each Holder to gross stated interest on the Mortgage Loans. The
Administrator will collect any forms or reports from the Holders determined by
the Seller to be required under applicable federal, state and local tax laws.

        (c)     Unless required otherwise by provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code or interpretations thereof, the Administrator will treat the Trust as a
grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes.

        (d)     The Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the
Issuer covenant and agree to, within ten Business Days after the Closing Date,
provide to the Administrator any information necessary to enable the Issuer to
meet its obligations under subsection (b) above.

        (e)     The Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Depositor and the
Servicer each covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders to knowingly
take no action or fail to take any action, which would, if taken or not taken,
as the case may be, result in the failure of the Trust at any time to qualify as
a grantor trust under the Code, including, without limitation, for purposes of
this paragraph any alteration, modification, amendment, extension, waiver or
forbearance with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

        (f)     Neither the Depositor, the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture
Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee will receive a fee or other compensation for services rendered
pursuant to this Agreement, which fee or other compensation is paid from the
Trust, other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor may engage in any of
the transactions prohibited by such clauses, provided that the Indenture Trustee
and the Issuer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal
income tax matters to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax
imposed on the Trust or cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust
under the Code; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such transaction is otherwise permitted
under this Agreement.

        (g)     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the
Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall, without having obtained an Opinion of
Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such
transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust or cause the Trust to
fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code, (i) sell any assets of the
Trust, (ii) accept any contribution of assets after the Closing Date or (iii)
agree to any modification of this Agreement.

        (h)     The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial
current report on Form 8-K and thereafter the Indenture Trustee (or the
Administrator) will prepare or cause to be prepared Form 10-Ks and Form 10-Qs
(if necessary), or monthly current reports on Form 8-K, on behalf of the Trust
Estate, as may be required by applicable law, for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and the Indenture Trustee will sign each such
report on behalf of the Trust. The Indenture Trustee (or the Administrator) will
forward a copy of each such report to the Depositor promptly after such report
has been filed with the SEC. The Indenture Trustee (or the Administrator) agrees
to use its best efforts to seek to terminate such filing obligation after the
period during which such filings are required under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Promptly after filing a Form 15 or other applicable form with the SEC
in connection with such termination, the Indenture Trustee (or the
Administrator) shall deliver to the Depositor a copy of such form together with
copies of confirmations of receipt by the SEC of each report filed therewith on
behalf of the Trust Estate.

(i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining

        Section 7.02. Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Estate.

        (a)     Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.01, specifying the Payment Date upon which the final payment shall be made,
shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee by first class mail to
Securityholders mailed (x) no later than [five] Business Days after the
Indenture Trustee has received notice from the Depositor of its intent to
exercise its right to cause the termination of the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 7.01(b) or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Estate. Such notice shall specify (A)
the Payment Date upon which final payment on the Securities of all amounts
required to be distributed to Holders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Indenture Trustee and the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Owner Trustee, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment
Date is not applicable, payment being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Securities at the office or agency therein specified. The Indenture
Trustee shall give such notice to the Servicer, the Note Registrar and the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the
Securities. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Note Registrar with
respect to the Notes and the Certificate Registrar with respect to the
Certificates shall terminate and the Indenture Trustee shall terminate, or
request the Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Note
Account, the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with
respect to the Securities, subject to the Indenture Trustee's obligation
hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Securityholders in trust without
interest pending such payment.

        (b)     In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Securities for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Indenture Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Securityholders to surrender their Securities
for cancellation and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice any Securities shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact
the remaining Securityholders concerning surrender of such Securities, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If
within two years after the second notice any Securities shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to applicable
state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such
Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount
held by the Indenture Trustee and not distributed to a Securityholder due to
such Securityholder's failure to surrender any Securities for payment of the
final payment thereon in accordance with this Section.

        (c)     Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in
connection with any termination or liquidation of the Trust Estate shall be paid
from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Estate.

                                       69
<PAGE>

        (a)     The death or incapacity of any Securityholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or this Trust Estate, nor entitle such
Securityholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take
any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this
Trust Estate, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no Securityholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Securityholder,
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Servicer or
the operation and management of the Trust Estate, or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Notes, be construed so as to constitute the Securityholders from time to
time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any Securityholder be
under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the
parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

        (b)     No Securityholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Securityholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Indenture Trustee a written notice of an
Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and
unless also the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Class
Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of Notes of each Class shall have
made written request upon the Indenture Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Indenture Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require
against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,
and the Indenture Trustee, for [sixty] 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 and no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given such Indenture Trustee during such sixty-day period by
such Securityholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by each Securityholder with every other Securityholder and the
Indenture Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Notes, 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 benefit of all Securityholders. For the protection
and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder
and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either at law or in equity.

        Section 8.02. Access to List of Holders.

        (a)     The Certificate Registrar, and if the Indenture Trustee is not
acting as Note Registrar, the Note Registrar will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Indenture Trustee, within [fifteen] days after receipt by the
Certificate Registrar or the Note Registrar of a request by the Indenture
Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders and the
Noteholders of each Class as of the most recent Record Date.

        (b)     If three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as
"Applicants") apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and such application
states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Securities and

                                       70
<PAGE>

is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within [five] Business Days after
the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during
the normal business hours of the Indenture Trustee to the most recent list of
Securityholders held by the Indenture Trustee or shall, as an alternative, send,
at the Applicants' expense, the written communication proffered by the
Applicants to all Securityholders at their addresses as they appear in the Note
Register or the Certificate Register, as applicable.

        (c)     Every Holder or Note Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency,
by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be held accountable
by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and
addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

        Section 8.03. Acts of Holders of Notes.

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

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

        (c)     The ownership of Securities (whether or not such Securities
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Indenture Trustee) shall be proved by the
Note Register and the Certificate Register, and neither the Indenture Trustee,
the Servicer, nor the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                                       71
<PAGE>

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

parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

        Section 9.02. Entire Agreement.

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

Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to
conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with
respect to the Notes, the Trust Estate or this Agreement in any Offering

provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or
(iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the extent necessary or
desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code. No such amendment
effected pursuant to clause (iii) of such sentence shall adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Holder (without regard to the Class [ ]
Note Insurance Policy). Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent
of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Indenture Trustee may require an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to
the effect that such amendment is permitted under this paragraph. Any such
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any
Holder, if the Indenture Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify
or withdraw the then current rating assigned to the Notes (in the case of the
Class [ ] Notes, determined without regard to the Class [ ] Note Insurance
Policy).

        (b)     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less

<PAGE>

Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Notes affected thereby 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; 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 Note, without the consent of
the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class
Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Notes of each Class, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the
Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each
Class of Notes affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to
"Holder" or "Holders" shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of
Book-Entry Notes, the related Note Owners.

        (c)     Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the
Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies.

        (d)     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this
Section 9.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

        (e)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall not consent to any amendment of any
Servicing Agreement except pursuant to the standards provided in this Section
with respect to amendment of this Agreement.

        Section 9.04. Voting Rights.

        Except to the extent that the consent of all affected Noteholders is

Agreement requiring the consent of Noteholders representing specified

Notes owned by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the
Servicer or Affiliates thereof are not to be counted so long as such Notes are

Affiliates thereof.

          in connection therewith, shall remain in full force and effect, and
          are hereby ratified and confirmed.
