OF

 

LIGHTING
SCIENCE GROUP CORPORATION

 

This
Warrant, dated as of February 15, 2005, certifies that, for good and valuable
consideration, Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”),
hereby grants to Giuliani Capital Advisors LLC (“GCA”),
together with any permitted transferee (the “Holder” or
“Holders”) of
this Warrant or Warrant Shares (as defined below), subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the right to subscribe for and purchase from the
Company up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001
per share (the “Common
Stock”), as
set forth below (the “Warrant
Shares”), at
the purchase price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise
Price”). The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares are subject to adjustment from
time to time as provided in Section 5. This Warrant is issued in consideration
and as a part of that certain engagement agreement, dated of even date herewith,
between the Company and GCA (the “Agreement”).

 

1.  DURATION,
VESTING AND EXERCISE OF WARRANT; LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER; PAYMENT OF
TAXES.

 

	1.1  	
      EXERCISE
      PERIOD.

 

Except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.5(b), this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder in whole or in part from time to time during the period from the date of
this Warrant to and including the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of
this Warrant.

 

1.2  VESTING.
This Warrant shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the date
hereof.

 

	1.3  	
      MANNER
      OF EXERCISE.

 

The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or
in part from time to time, by delivery to the Company of (i) this Warrant, (ii)
a completed exercise form (in a
form designated by or otherwise acceptable to the Company) (the
“Exercise
Form”) duly
executed by the Holder and specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Form in the form of certified funds, wire
transfer or any combination of these forms of payment. The foregoing shall be
delivered to the Company at the notice address set forth in Section 7.7 during
normal business hours on any business day on or before the Expiration Date and
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the
Holder the relevant number of Warrant Shares no later than three (3) business
days following such delivery.

 

	1.4  	
      NET
      EXERCISE

 

.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value
of one share of the Company’s Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price
(at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this
Warrant by payment as provided in Section 1.3, the Holder may elect (the
“Conversion
Right”) to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at
the notice address set forth in Section 7.7 together with the properly endorsed
Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to issue to the Holder, no later than three (3) business days following
such surrender and delivery, a number of shares of Common Stock computed using
the following formula:

 

Where

 

X
= the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

 

	 	
      Y
      =
	
      the
      number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only
      a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant
      being canceled (at the date of such
calculation)

 

	 	
      A
      =
	
      the
      fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date
      of such calculation)

 

	 	
      B
      =
	
      Exercise
      Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)

 

For
purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock shall be:

 

If the
Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on such an exchange, or is listed on the National Market
System (the “National
Market System”) of the
Nasdaq, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the last reported sale
price of Common Stock on such exchange or on the National Market System on such
date or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and
asked prices for such day on such exchange or on the National Market System. If
the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges,
the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the mean of the last bid and
asked prices reported on such date (x) by the Nasdaq or (y) if reports are
unavailable under clause (x) above by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the Market Price as
of a specified day shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Company.

 

	1.5  	
      PAYMENT
      OF TAXES.

 

The
issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any stock transfer or other issuance tax in respect thereto;
provided,
however, that
the Holder shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes which may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of
any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the then Holder
as reflected upon the books of the Company.

 

	1.6  	
      RESTRICTION
      ON TRANSFER.

 

(a) This
Warrant may not be transferred, in whole or in part, except to a successor to
the business of GCA or to an affiliate of GCA, including any parent, member or
subsidiary thereof, upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Company.
Upon notice of transfer duly executed by the Holder, the transferee shall become
the Holder of record of the Warrant or part thereof. The Company shall keep at
its principal office a register in which the Company shall provide for the
registration, transfer and exchange of this Warrant. The Company will not at any
time, except upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
close such register so as to prevent or delay the exercise or transfer of this
Warrant.

 

(b) Neither
this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest or participation in
either, may be in any manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part,
except in compliance with the Securities Act, and applicable state securities
laws.

 

(c) Each
certificate for Warrant Shares and any Warrant issued at any time in exchange or
substitution for any Warrant bearing such a legend shall bear a legend similar
in effect to the foregoing paragraph unless, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for the Company, the Warrant need no longer be subject to the
restriction contained herein. The provisions of this Section 1.6 shall be
binding upon all subsequent holders of, this Warrant.

 

(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, at the time of any transfer or exchange of this Warrant or
the Warrant Shares, this Warrant or the Warrant Shares shall not be registered
under the Securities Act, the Company may require that as a condition of
allowing such transfer or exchange, the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or
the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, furnish to the Company an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that opines upon such exemption
from registration.

 

2.  RESERVATION,
REGISTRATION AND LISTING OF SHARES.

 

All
Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant shall, upon issuance and payment of the Exercise Price, be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, security
interests, charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof
other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issuance. During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, and keep available free
from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Warrant Shares to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall be entitled to
“piggy-back” registration rights on all registrations of the Company subject to
the right, however, of the Company and its underwriters to reduce the number of
shares proposed to be registered pro rata together with all other holders of
registration rights in view of market conditions. All expenses of such
registration shall be borne by the Company. The registration rights of the
Holder provided in this Section 2 shall terminate on the date that the shares of
Common Stock underlying this Warrant may be resold by the Holder without
registration by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or any other
rule of similar effect.

 

3.  EXCHANGE,
LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT.

 

Upon any
transfer permitted by Section 1.6, the Company, without charge to the Holder,
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the
assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly
be canceled. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the
case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company
will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor. The term “Warrant” as used
herein includes any Warrants issued in substitution or exchange of this
Warrant.

 

4.  OWNERSHIP
OF WARRANT.

 

The
Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered
as the holder and owner hereof for all purposes (notwithstanding any notations
of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this
Warrant for registration of transfer.

 

5.  CERTAIN
ADJUSTMENTS.

 

The
Exercise Price at which Warrant Shares may be purchased and the number of
Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to
change or adjustment as follows:

 

	5.1  	
      GENERAL.

 

If the
Company (i) pays a dividend in shares of Common Stock or makes a distribution in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv)
issues by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the
Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation), the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted so
that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant
Shares or other securities of the Company that the Holder would have owned or
have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described
above, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of
such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 5.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date
of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such
event.

 

	5.2  	
      ADJUSTMENT
      FOR CAPITAL REORGANIZATION.

 

If at any
time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company or a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, then, as part
of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be
made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive
on exercise of this Warrant during the period specified in this Warrant and on
payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation
resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which a holder of the Common
Stock deliverable on exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled on such
capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before that capital reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and
interests of the Holder of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including
adjustment of the number of shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant)
shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation
to any shares or other securities or property deliverable after that event on
exercise of this Warrant. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 5.2, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities property
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such
reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution
following any such transfer, as the case may be.

 

	5.3  	
      CERTIFICATE
      OF ADJUSTMENTS.

 

Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the
Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the
written request, at any time, of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to
such Holder, a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and
readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the
number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that
at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

	5.4  	
      NOTICES
      OF RECORD DATE.

 

In the
event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend that is the same as cash
dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or any capital
reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the
capital stock of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then and in each such event the
Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice
specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of any class of securities shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of securities for securities or other
property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
transfer, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

 

6.  NO
IMPAIRMENT.

 

The
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant.

                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective
as of February 1, 2005, among CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC. as Depositor,

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be
issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created
hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised
of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement.

                                     REMIC I
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets (other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and the Cap Contracts) subject to this
Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool
of assets will be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Interest will be the
sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance
and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii),

(as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01.     Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery

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

                  (iii)    an original Assignment in blank;

                  (iv)     the original recorded Assignment or Assignments
         showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the
         Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the
         immediately preceding clause (iii);

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

                  (vi)     the original lender's title insurance policy,
         together with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or
         subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the
         Mortgage as a first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property
         represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in
         the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written
         commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by
         the title insurance or escrow company.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as
of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section
2.01(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver
such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee of a
photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto. If any of the original
Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall
be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee within three Business
Days.

                  The Depositor shall (at the expense of the Originator)

each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed
copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any

provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the manner described
above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to
occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at

not delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee are and shall be held by
or on behalf of the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as
the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.01 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.
Any such original document

                                       48
<PAGE>

delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms
of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to
the Servicer.

                  The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost
home loan as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

                  The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Trust and the Holders of the Class A Certificates
and Mezzanine Certificates. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Holders of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates by their
acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall
execute, deliver and perform the Trust's obligations under the Cap Contracts and
shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its
individual capacity.

                  SECTION 2.02.     Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.

                  The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents
described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of
amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall
cause the Custodian to review each Mortgage File in accordance with the
Custodial Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, and the Trustee shall cause
the Custodian to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C-1 that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other
than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified
in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it
pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by the Trustee and appear regular on their face and relate to such
Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee's examination and only as to the
foregoing, the Mortgagor's Name and the street address and city of the Mortgaged
Property, and the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the definition
of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the
Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation (i) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate
for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face

                                       49
<PAGE>

or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the
documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver as required under the Custodial
Agreeement to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer a final certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer
shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any
material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or
the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

                  The Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any
Certificateholder, request the Custodian to provide a written report to such
Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.

                  SECTION 2.03.     Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
                                    by the Originator or the Seller.

                  (a)      Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including any
representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule)
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure

                                       50
<PAGE>

such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer,
to the extent it is not the Originator, the Seller or an Affiliate of the
Seller, and otherwise the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall
enforce the obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC
I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such
missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall
be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account and the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it
and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not
have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being
understood that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any
responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its
intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC
I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, the Originator may
not substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage
Loan that violates any predatory or abusive lending law. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to
cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a
document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and
the Certificateholders.

                  (b)      Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be
effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,
the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with
an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. In
accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or

                                       51
<PAGE>

Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as
specified in Section 2.02 and cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of
the date of substitution, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto
with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
REMIC I and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in
the month of substitution, and the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be
given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken
place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such
substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.

                  For any month in which the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of
the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and upon receipt by the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and certification by the Servicer to the Trustee of such deposit, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release as required by the Custodial
Agreement to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage
File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

                  In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on

                                       52
<PAGE>

"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.

                  (c)      Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, the
Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Originator, the
Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such
repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator or the Seller, as
the case may be, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall reconvey to the Depositor, the Originator or the Seller, as the
case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

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

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

                  (i)      The Servicer is duly organized, validly existing, and

         and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being
         conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in the states
         where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state

         type conducted by the Servicer or to ensure the enforceability or
         validity of each Mortgage Loan; the Servicer has the power and
         authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in
         accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered
         pursuant to this Agreement) by the Servicer and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized;
         this Agreement evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation
         of the Servicer, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally; and all requisite corporate
         action has been taken by the Servicer to make this Agreement valid and
         binding upon the Servicer in accordance with its terms;

                                       53
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer
         and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the
         charter or by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term
         or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or
         result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement,
         indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the
         Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the violation of any
         law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer
         or its property is subject;

                  (iii)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer and the performance and compliance with its obligations and
         covenants hereunder do not require the consent or approval of any
         governmental authority or, if such consent or approval is required, it
         has been obtained;

                  (iv)     This Agreement, and all documents and instruments
         contemplated hereby which are executed and delivered by the Servicer,
         constitute and will constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of
         the Servicer, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
         except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable
         bankruptcy laws and general principles of equity;

                  (v)      [Reserved];

                  (vi)     The Servicer does not believe, nor does it have any
         reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
         covenant contained in this Agreement;

                  (vii)    There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
         pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Servicer that,
         either individually or in the aggregate, (A) may result in any change
         in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
         of the Servicer that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect
         the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under, or validity
         or enforceability of, this Agreement, or (B) may result in any material
         impairment of the right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its
         business substantially as now conducted, or (C) may result in any
         material liability on the part of the Servicer, or (D) would draw into
         question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any
         action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the
         Servicer contemplated herein, or (E) would otherwise be likely to
         impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform under the
         terms of this Agreement;

                  (viii)   Neither this Agreement nor any information,
         certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report
         delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer in connection with the
         transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a
         material fact;

                  (ix)     The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge
         unless it is waived in accordance with the standard set forth in
         Section 3.01; and

                                       54
<PAGE>

                  (x)      The Servicer has accurately and fully reported, and
         will continue to accurately and fully report, its borrower credit files
         to each of the credit repositories in a timely manner.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, unless such breach shall not be
susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the Servicer set forth in
this Section 2.05 to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the
Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt
of notice by the Servicer of a breach of the representation or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05(ix) above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any
Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by
depositing such amount into the Collection Account.

                                    and the Class R-I Interest.

Loans and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in REMIC I, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer
of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Class R-I Interest in authorized denominations. The
interests evidenced by the Class R-I Interest, together with the REMIC I Regular
Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC I. The
rights of the Class R-I Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular
Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in respect of
the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests, respectively, and all
ownership interests evidenced or constituted by the Class R-I Interest and the
REMIC I Regular Interests, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

Depositor in and to the assets described in the definition of REMIC I for the

uncertificated) and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01.     Servicer to Act as Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of
all Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:

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

                  (B)      the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by
         the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

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

                  (D)      the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
         compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
         particular transaction.

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, relates to a default
or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment
Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of
such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law. If a
Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standards described in
clause (ii) above, then the Servicer (in its capacity as Originator) shall be
required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of
the Holders of the P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection
Account together with and at the time the amounts prepaid on the related
Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account. Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement
and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards

                                       58

set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the
Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing Date,
the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish
to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney
for each county in which a Mortgaged Property is located and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; PROVIDED, such limited
powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and
submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

                  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections
from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section
3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the
timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition
of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup
date" under the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 3.02.     Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer
                                    and Sub-Servicers.

                  (a)      The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
with Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that based on an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely), meets
the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this
Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or
defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions of a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and
amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively
deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's
execution and delivery of such instruments.

                  (b)      As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to
purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on
account of a

                                       60
<PAGE>

breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section
2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would
require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay
the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator or
the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not the
Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.03.     Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee (if the Trustee is
acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).

                  SECTION 3.04.     Liability of the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

                                       61
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 3.05.     No Contractual Relationship Between
                                    Sub-Servicers, the Trustee or
                                    Certificateholders.

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

                  SECTION 3.06.     Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                    Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section
7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the departing
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to
be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.

                  The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

                  SECTION 3.07.     Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan
                                    Payments.

                  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any extension pursuant to clause

                                       62
<PAGE>

(ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of
any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make
Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest,
capitalize past due Monthly Payments and outstanding Servicing Advances or
extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the
related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or
interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as
"forbearance"), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Servicer grant any
such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second sentence of this
Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month
period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage Loan. The
Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in
the Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 3.08.     Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

                  SECTION 3.09.     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
                                    Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and
shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no
event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all
Escrow Payments

                                       63
<PAGE>

collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items
in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is
not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a
time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the
Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to such
accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the
Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the
required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to
avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as
a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer
receives notice of a tax lien that jeopardizes the lien of the Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer will, within 10 business days of such notice, advance or cause to
be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As
part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required
by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing
Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess
interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent such action is in
conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are
not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set
forth above.

                  SECTION 3.10.     Collection Account and Distribution Account.

                  (a)      On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event
more than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, as and when
received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and

                                       64
<PAGE>

collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on
or prior to the Cut-off Date, but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i)      all payments on account of principal, including
         Principal Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage
         Loans;

                  (ii)     all payments on account of interest (net of the
         related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

                  (iii)    all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds,
         Subsequent Recoveries and condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds
         collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in
         connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
         pursuant to Section 9.01);

                  (iv)     any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted
         Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

                  (v)      any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
         pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
         blanket policy deductibles;

                  (vi)     all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
         purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;

                  (vii)    all amounts required to be deposited in connection
         with Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03; and

                  (viii)   all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
         any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
         Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans; and

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

                  (b)      On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance
Date, that portion of the

                                       65
<PAGE>

Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in
the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable
Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts
in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on
deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an
Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.29, and (ii) on each Business Day as of
the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the
Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or before
1:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection
Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Originator or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall
pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  (c)      Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the
Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.

                  (d)      Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may
be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may
be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds
held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer,
with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from
time to time for deposit, and the Trustee, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

                  (i)      any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;

                  (ii)     any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

                  (iii)    any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase
         of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;

                                       66
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and

                  (v)      any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee
         pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06
         and Section 7.02.

                  (vi)     The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
         any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in
         connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect
         to funds held in the Collection Account.

                  SECTION 3.11.     Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                    Distribution Account.

                  (a)      The Servicer shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as
described in Section 4.03:

                  (i)      to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the
         Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to
         Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first
         sentence of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii)     subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer
         for (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received
         which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
         Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on
         Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03; or (b) any unreimbursed
         Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that
         are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late
         Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with
         respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
         Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances;

                  (iii)    subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or
         any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
         Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
         Proceeds and condemnation proceeds received with respect to such
         Mortgage Loan, and (c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final
         liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but
         only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and
         Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
         insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
         Servicing Advances; (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing
         compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer
         Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
         deposited in the Collection Account;

                  (v)      to pay to the Originator, with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant
         to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all.

                                       67
<PAGE>

         amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or
         substitution, as the case may be;

                  (vi)     to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or
         Servicing Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to
         be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 4.03;

                  (vii)    to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
         Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
         Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

                  (viii)   to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or
         reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;

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

                  (x)      to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess; and

                  (xi)     to clear and terminate the Collection Account
         pursuant to Section 9.01.

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

                  The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; PROVIDED that an
Officers' Certificate in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice
for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

                  (b)      The Trustee shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes,
without priority:

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

                  (ii)     to pay itself the Trustee Fee and any Extraordinary
         Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 8.05;

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

                                       68
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     to clear and terminate the Distribution Account
         pursuant to Section 9.01;

                  (v)      to pay any amounts required to be paid to the
         Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement or the Trustee pursuant
         to this Agreement, including but not limited to funds required to be
         paid pursuant to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02;

                  (vi)     to pay to the Trustee, any interest or investment
         income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account; and

                  (vii)    to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for
         Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.29.

                  SECTION 3.12.     Investment of Funds in the Collection
                                    Account and the Distribution Account.

                  (a)      The Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on
deposit in such accounts (each such account, for the purposes of this Section
3.12 an "Investment Account"). All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12
shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. Amounts in the Distribution
Account shall be held uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be held
to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment
Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or
in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account or any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon)
over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the party with investment discretion over such Invesment Account shall:

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

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

                                       69
<PAGE>

                  (b)      All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on
behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as
applicable. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO
Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately
upon realization of such loss.

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

                  (d)      The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's
economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator,
shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain
of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiiates to effect transactions in
certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain
Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that
is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or
otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.

                  SECTION 3.13.     [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.14.     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors
                                    and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

                  (a)      The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate
for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as
is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the
related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained
hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which
is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO
Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard
policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing

                                       70
<PAGE>

loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake
or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property
or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and
flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

                  (b)      The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this
Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would
meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of
the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, upon request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond.
The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that
would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer
has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The
Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of
the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by
the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded
thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and
fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior
written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer
to

                                       71
<PAGE>

maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond
which would meet such requirements.

                  SECTION 3.15.     Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses;
                                    Assumption Agreements.

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole
business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the
Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards
and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans
owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term

                                       72
<PAGE>

"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property)
subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution
of liability agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16.     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a)      The Servicer shall use its best efforts, in as
practical a time frame as possible and consistent with Servicing Standard, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has
actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the
related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be
considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
"owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:

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

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

                                       73
<PAGE>

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; PROVIDED that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.03(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(iii) and (a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c)      The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage
Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall immediately effectuate the
conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Servicer to the extent
necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if the Servicer purchases any delinquent Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), it must purchase Mortgage Loans that are
delinquent the greatest number of days before it may purchase any that are
delinquent any fewer number of days.

                  (d)      Proceeds received in connection with any Final
Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial
collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds,
in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of
priority: FIRST, to unpaid Servicing Fees; SECOND, to reimburse the Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); THIRD, to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final
Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on
which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final
Recovery Determination; and FOURTH, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage
Loan. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 3.17.     Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
                                    Files.

                  (a)      Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), in written (with two
executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have
been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee (or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, within three Business Days,
release and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (b)      From time to time and as appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose,
collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, upon any request made
by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) , in written (with two executed copies) or electronic
format, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing
Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a
signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer within three Business Days, and the Trustee (or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the direction of the Servicer,
execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each
and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee
(or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to
an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) an additional Request for Release certifying
as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee
(or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), the Servicer shall provide notice
to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for
Release, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, from a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be
released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) to the
Servicer or its designee.

                  (c)      Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as
the case may be, copies of, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.

                  SECTION 3.18.     Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section
3.29, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or
in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only
to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer
shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO
Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned
on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors
or by a Sub-Servicer and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the
extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the expenses of the Trustee) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest
Excess, which it may withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ix).

                  SECTION 3.19.     Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
                                    Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee (upon the Trustee's request) and the
Depositor the most current available bank

                                       76
<PAGE>

statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the
expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the
Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20.     Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not
later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21.     Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                    Report.

                  Not later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in
2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report
stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain
matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by
such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon
request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by
the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.22.     Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by

                                       77
<PAGE>

applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the
Trustee and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee
of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the
offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access.

                  SECTION 3.23.     Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                    Property.

                  (a)      The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property
shall be taken in the name of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee
for Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through
Certificates or its nominee or the name of any successor Trustee, its nominee or
any successor, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.
The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I, shall sell any REO Property as soon as
practical and in any event no later than the end of the third full taxable year
after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires ownership of such REO
Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of such three-year
period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel and addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the
holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  (b)      The Servicer shall separately account for all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property and
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest
income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

                  (c)      The Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to
do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by
the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
(subject to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a))
as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In
connection therewith, the

                                       78
<PAGE>

Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues received by it with
respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including,
without limitation:

                  (i)      all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of
         such REO Property;

                  (ii)     all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of
         such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
         and

                  (iii)    all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
         Property.

                  To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:

                  (A)      authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or
         extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease
         by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute
         Rents from Real Property;

                  (B)      authorize any amount to be received or accrued under
         any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
         Property;

                  (C)      authorize any construction on any REO Property, other
         than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
         then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building
         or other improvement was completed before default on the related
         Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
         856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

                  (D)      authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO
         Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by
         the Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the REMIC, in
which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.

                                       79
<PAGE>

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

                  (1)      the terms and conditions of any such contract shall
         not be inconsistent herewith;

                  (2)      any such contract shall require, or shall be
         administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs
         and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management
         of such REO Property, including those listed above and remit all
         related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as
         soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following
         the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

                  (3)      none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c)
         relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such
         Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any
         of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the
         Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
         such REO Property; and

                  (4)      the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto
         to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
         obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO
         Property.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d)      In addition to the withdrawals permitted under
Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Upon liquidation
of any REO Property, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account
maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with
Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, any income from the related REO Property received
by the Servicer, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this
Section 3.23(d)

                                       80
<PAGE>

                  (e)      Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
its Servicing Standard.

                  (f)      The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any
amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related
Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the
month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution
Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow
a sale for other consideration).

                  (g)      The Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

                  SECTION 3.24.     Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                    Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B) its
aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Due Period, any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account and any
Prepayment Interest Excess earned during the related Prepayment Period. The
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall
be included in the Available Distribution Amount and distributed therewith on
the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 3.25.     [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.26.     Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                    Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

                                       81
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of
the Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.27.     Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED, that the Servicer may
solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for
verification of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated
written or verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related
Mortgage Loan, another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the
mortgagor or the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is
understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional
products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including, without
limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation
under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to
unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a
Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.

                  SECTION 3.28.     Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2005-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates." The amounts deposited
in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall consist of (i) any amounts
deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4) and (ii) any amounts received
by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts.

                  On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine Certificates in
the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a)(4).

                  On each Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates,
any amounts remaining in the

                                       82
<PAGE>

Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments received by the
Trustee under the Cap Contracts), shall be payable to the Trustee, subject to
the immediately following paragraph.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account (other than amounts payable from the Cap Contracts) shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE
Interest and by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the
termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust Fund
and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part
of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the
Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments
with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.

                  Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall remain uninvested.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of
the right to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
shall be $104,866 and $87,304, with respect to the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates, respectively.

                  SECTION 3.29.     Advance Facility.

                  (a)      The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a
facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person")
may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this
Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the
Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the
Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.29,
upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a
letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of
such Advance Facility. In no event shall the Trustee be required to consent to
or monitor such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds
any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice
acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to
reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement
pursuant to this Agreement for

                                       83
<PAGE>

such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.29(b). Such notice from the
Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of
this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be
reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing
Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, and
include the Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default
under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with
respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing
Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the
Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.29. An Advancing
Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a
Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and will not be
deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.

                  (b)      If an Advancing Facility is entered into, then the
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii), Section 3.11(a)(iv), Section 3.11(a)(vii),
Section 3.11(a)(viii) and Section 4.04(b) prior to the remittance to the Trust
Fund, but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable
remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trustee is
hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances
and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii),
Section 3.11(a)(vi), Section 3.11(a)(vii), Section 3.11(a)(viii) or Section
4.04(b), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advance
facility agree.

                  (c)      All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a
"first in-first out" (FIFO) basis.

                  (d)      Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.29,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 4.01.     Distributions.

                  (a)(1) On each Distribution Date, the following amounts, in

         previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Interest
         in respect of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ shall be reduced when the
         sum of the REMIC I Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC I
         Required Overcollateralized Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of
         such difference and (y) the Maximum I-LTZZ Uncertificated Interest
         Deferral Amount and such amounts will be payable to the Holders of

         Regular Interest I-LTM10, in the same proportion as the
         Overcollateralization Increase Amount is allocated to the Corresponding
         Certificates and the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
         I-LTZZ shall be increased by such amount;

                  (ii)     second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests,
         in an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Distribution
         Amount for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant
         to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:

                           (a)      98.00% of such remainder (less the amount
                  payable in clause (d) below) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTAA, until the Uncertificated Balance of such
                  REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero;

                           (b)      2.00% of such remainder (less the amount
                  payable in clause (d) below) first, to the Holders of REMIC I
                  Regular Interest I-LTA1A, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1B,

                  REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7, REMIC I Regular Interest
                  I-LTM8, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTM10, and in the same proportion as principal
                  payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates,
                  until the Uncertificated Balances of such REMIC I Regular
                  Interests are reduced to zero and second, to the Holders of
                  REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, until the Uncertificated
                  Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
                  then

                           (c)      to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest
                  I-LTP, on the Distribution Date immediately following the
                  expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on
                  the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
                  thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this
                  clause; and

                           (d)      any remaining amount to the Holders of the
                  Class R Certificates (as Holder of the Class R-I Interest).

                  (2)      On each Distribution Date, the Interest Remittance
Amount will be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i)      concurrently, to the Holders of each Class of Class A
Certificates, on a pro rata basis based on the entitlement of each such Class,
the Senior Interest Distribution Amount allocable to such Class of Class A
Certificates;

                  (ii)     sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class
M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9

                  (3)      On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Principal Distribution
Amount and distribute to the Certificateholders the following amounts, in the
following order of priority:

                  (A)      On each Distribution Date (a) prior to the Stepdown
Date or (b) on which a Trigger Event is in effect, the Principal Distribution
Amount shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i)      to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (allocated
         among the Class A Certificates in the priority described below), until
         the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates
         has been reduced to zero; and

                  (ii)     sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class
         M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8,

<PAGE>

                  (B)      On each Distribution Date (a) on or after the
Stepdown Date and (b) on which a Trigger Event is not in effect, the Principal
Distribution Amount shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i)      to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (allocated

         Distribution Amount, until the Certificate Principal Balances have been

                  With respect to the Class A Certificates, all principal
distributions will be distributed sequentially, to the Class A-1A Certificates,
the Class A-1B Certificates and the Class A-1C Certificates, in that order,
until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to
zero; provided, however, on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates has been reduced to zero, all principal distributions will be
distributed concurrently, on a pro rata basis, based on the Certificate
Principal Balance of each such Class.

                  (4)      On each Distribution Date, the Net Monthly Excess
Cashflow shall be distributed by the Trustee as follows:

                  (i)      to the Holders of the Class or Classes of
         Certificates then entitled to receive distributions in respect of
         principal, as part of the Principal Distribution Amount in an amount
         equal to the Overcollateralization Increase Amount for the
         Certificates, applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of
         such Certificates until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
         such Certificates is reduced to zero;

                  (ii)     sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class
         M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8,
         Class M-9 and Class M-10 Certificates in that order, in each case, in
         an amount equal to the Interest Carry Forward Amount allocable to such
         Class of Certificates;

                  (iii)    sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
         Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and
         Class M-10 Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the related
         Allocated Realized Loss Amount related to each such Class of
         Certificates for such Distribution Date;

                  (iv)     to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the
         amount by which any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such
         Distribution Date exceed the amounts received by the Trustee under the
         Cap Contracts;

                                       87
<PAGE>

                  (v)      on or after the Distribution Date in March 2012, to
         the Holders of the Class A-1A Certificates, until the Certificate
         Principal Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates has been reduced to
         zero;

                  (vi)     to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, (a) the
         Interest Distribution Amount and any Overcollateralization Reduction
         Amount for such Distribution Date and (b) on any Distribution Date on
         which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
         Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates have been reduced to zero,
         any remaining amounts in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
         of the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
         thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  (vii)    to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any
         remaining amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the
         Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest
         Prepayment Charge term on a Mortgage Loan as identified on the Mortgage
         Loan Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, then any such
         remaining amounts will be distributed first, to the Holders of the
         Class P Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
         has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of the Class R
         Certificates.

                  On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of
the Available Distribution Amount as set forth above, the Trustee will withdraw
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts
remaining on deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
for such Distribution Date and distribute such amount in the following order of
priority:

                  (A)      concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,
         the related Cap Amount, in each case up to a maximum amount equal to
         the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for such Distribution Date;

                  (B)      sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
         Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and
         Class M-10 Certificates, in that order, the related Cap Amount, in each
         case up to a maximum amount equal to the related Net WAC Rate Carryover
         Amount for such Distribution Date;

                  (C)      concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,
         the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount remaining undistributed
         pursuant to clause (A) above, on a pro rata basis based on such
         respective remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts; and

                  (D)      sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
         Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and
         Class M-10 Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate
         Carryover Amount remaining undistributed pursuant to clause (B) above.

                  (b)      On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw
any amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal
Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or any

                                       88
<PAGE>

Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount and shall distribute such amounts to
the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such distributions shall not be applied
to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.

                  Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to
the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority,
up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be
entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on
which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.

                  (c)      All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

                  Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

                  (d)      The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or the

                                       89
<PAGE>

Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on
the Certificates.

                  (e)      Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01,
whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any
Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the
extent that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the
Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:

                  (i)      the Trustee expects that the final distribution with
         respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
         Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at
         the office of the Trustee therein specified, and

                  (ii)     no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from
         and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

                  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets held in trust for such Certificateholders. If within
one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., in accordance with its wiring instructions, all such amounts, and all
rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon
cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any
amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held in trust by the Trustee shall
be held in an Eligible Account and shall be held uninvested.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i)
in no event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or
a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to

to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the
Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties
regarding any such changes.

                  In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i) through (iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per
Single Certificate of the relevant Class.

                  Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a statement containing
the information set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such

time are in force.

                  Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each

                  The Trustee shall, upon request, furnish to each
Certificateholder, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special, or

reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or otherwise with respect to

at the expense of the Certificateholder in accordance with such reasonable and
explicit instructions and directions as the Certificateholder may provide. For
purposes of this Section 4.02, the

                                       93

Trustee's duties are limited to the extent that the Trustee receives timely

                  On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall provide Bloomberg

                  SECTION 4.03.     Remittance Reports; Advances.

                  (a)      On the second Business Day following each
Determination Date but in no event later than the 20th day of each month (or if
such 20th day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other
means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance
Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee by overnight mail a computer readable
magnetic tape or electronically transmit (in a format acceptable to the Trustee)
a data file containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with
respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report will include
(i) the amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related
Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after giving
effect to such Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in
respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the
calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01
and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify
any information provided to it by the Servicer.

                  (b)      The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for
any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i)
the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended
calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such
Distribution Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment
on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the
assumed monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based
on the original principal amortization schedule for the such Balloon Mortgage
Loan.

                  By 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future

                                       94
<PAGE>

distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of
any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future
distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard
to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the
total amount that would be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide
notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount remitted by the
Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be
made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date.

                  (c)      The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances
is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject
to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.

                  (d)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The
determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.

                  SECTION 4.04.     Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a)      Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the
Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of
Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period

                                       95
<PAGE>

during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all
other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss
was incurred.

                  (b)      All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the
Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related
Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the
Class M-8 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate

the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero.

                  All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate
Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated
after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All
references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by
any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates,
on such Distribution Date.

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
or Class A-1B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated and any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by
reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(4). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-1B Certificates) or the Class P Certificates.

                  As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro
rata basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular
Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated
Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and

                  SECTION 4.05.     Compliance with Withholding Requirements

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.06.     Exchange Commission; Additional Information.

                  (a)      The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably
cooperate with the Depositor in connection with satisfying the reporting
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms
8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act
and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity, other
than the Trustee, acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission to sign)
and the Trustee shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the
Depositor (or such other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
limited power of attorney to execute each Form 8-K and file such Forms 8-K and
10-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the
earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination
of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the
Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of
the Trust.

                  (b)      Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

                  (c)      In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2) for the benefit of the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Trustee Certification") (provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects
of items of the Certification (the "Servicer Certification"). The Servicer's
certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), the Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor
by no later than March 19th of each year and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March

preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Trustee to timely deliver the Trustee
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Trustee Certification and
(ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee
and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Servicer
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Servicer Certification and
(iii) the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach of the Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, then
the Depositor (in connection with a breach of its obligations under this Section
4.06 or its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith)
or the Trustee or the Servicer (in connection with a breach of its respective
obligations under this Section 4.06(c)), agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer.

                  (d)      Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.

                  (e)      Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the
Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.

                  (f)      To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this
Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this
Agreement.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01.     The Certificates.

                  (a)      The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.

                  The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-17. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the written order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

                  (b)      The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the
Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided
below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not
be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold
such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby
initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such
in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee and, if the Trustee is not the

                                      100
<PAGE>

Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee
or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its
predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right
to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

                  The Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through
the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to
be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations
of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a
Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.02.     Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
                                    Certificates.

                  (a)      The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

                  (b)      No transfer of any Class M-9 Certificate, Class M-10
Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
(the "Private Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of
a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other
than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual
Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall require receipt
of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring
to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other
cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as
such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s)
of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such
transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such
Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made
in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferee will be deemed
to have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth
Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a
Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such Ownership Interest in
any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor

                                      102
<PAGE>

against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

                  No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R.ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan
Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless (i)
in the case of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate, the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the effect that the
purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the Code, will not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or (ii) in the
case of a Class M-9 Certificate or Class M-10 Certificate, (A) such Person has
acquired and is holding the Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter's
Exemption, and it understands that there are certain conditions to the
availability of the Underwriter's Exemption, including that the Certificate must
be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by
Fitch, Moody's or S&P and that the beneficial owner is an "accredited investor"
as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or (B) (1) such Person is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds
used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an "insurance
company general account," as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of
Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of
the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor,
(ii) the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the
issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii)
a transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of
such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

                  Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than a
Class M-9 Certificate or Class M-10 Certificate) or any interest therein shall
be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a

                                      103
<PAGE>

Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in
reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands that there are
certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters' Exemption, including
that such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not
lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, S&P or Moody's and the
Certificates are so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the
source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is
an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60,
and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

                  If any Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any
interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be
treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of
transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose
acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected
in violation of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund
from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by
those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

                  (c)      (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:

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

                  (B)      In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
         Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require
         delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
         Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a
         "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as
         Exhibit F-2) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Trustee, representing and warranting, among other
         things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not
         acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is
         the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
         any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
         retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will
         endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
         provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

                  (C)      Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit
         and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
         Responsible Officer of the Trustee who

                                      104
<PAGE>

         is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
         Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership
         Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
         effected.

                  (D)      Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
         Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a
         Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
         F-2 from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
         Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer
         its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in
         the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that,
         among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person
         is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  (E)      Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
         Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest
         in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it
         is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary
         Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
         acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or
         is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
         of, a "pass-through interest holder."

                  (ii)     The Trustee will register the Transfer of any
         Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer
         Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have
         been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such
         registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall
         be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter
         from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such
         Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

                  (iii)    (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
         of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
         Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
         restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
         thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
         such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to
         any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate
         that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any
         payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking
         any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
         this Agreement.

                  (B)      If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of
         a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
         5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
         rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
         clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
         the Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, without
         notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate,
         to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the
         Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported
         Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate
         in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may
         be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of
         such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
         payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if
         any, will

                                      105
<PAGE>

         be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and
         conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
         in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be
         liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
         Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

                  (iv)     The Trustee shall make available to the Internal
         Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
         information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the
         Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
         Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information
         described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
         1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
         Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company,
         real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
         estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds
         an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
         record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified
         Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information
         may be accepted by the Trustee.

                  (v)      The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth
         prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated,
         provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the
         expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such
         provision the following:

                  (A)      written notification from each Rating Agency to the
         effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
         provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its
         then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

                  (B)      an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of,
         addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust
         REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any Trust REMIC
         to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any
         Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or
         a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a
         REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person
         that is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  (d)      Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.

                  (e)      At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate
may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every

                                      106
<PAGE>

Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i)
with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in
the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate
Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case
that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with
respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate
Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case
that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

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

                  (g)      All Certificates surrendered for transfer and
exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same
Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

                  SECTION 5.04.     Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05.     Certain Available Information.

Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such
Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate, a Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the
following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, a Certificate Owner or prospective
transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or
other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form
most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement

Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing
items will be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the
Person requesting the same.

                         THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

                  SECTION 6.01.     Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.

                  The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

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

                  Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The
Depositor and the Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

                  The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated
with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;
and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result
thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

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

                  (a)      The Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to
succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately
notify each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments,
or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume the

                                      109
<PAGE>

defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against the Certificateholder in respect
of such claim. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

                  (b)      None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall
be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person
against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or
against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie,
is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement;
provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the
extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to
the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account.

                  SECTION 6.04.     Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section
6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries

                                      110
<PAGE>

or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the
Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable
to the Depositor and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the
Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the
proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the
Certificates; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall
become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the
Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations
hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated, a successor servicer in
accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the
Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01
and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee.]

                  (b)      Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer
shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder
to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.05.     Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the
                                    Servicer.

                  The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the
Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the
Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its
(and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other
information relating to the Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under
this Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To
the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the
Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained
pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer's written consent,
except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is
appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing
authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor or the Servicer,
(iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any
and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular,
registration statement or contract or

                                      111
<PAGE>

other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement
approved in advance by the Depositor or the Servicer or (B) to any affiliate,
independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee
having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient
of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed as the case may
be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer
under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of
its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 7.01.     Servicer Events of Default.

                  (a)      "Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events:

                  (i)      any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee
         for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
         Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer
         Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the
         terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied
         for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which
         case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Servicer, the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
         least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                  (ii)     any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to
         observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
         or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement,
         or the breach by the Servicer of any representation and warranty
         contained in Section 2.05, which continues unremedied for a period of
         30 days (or if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within 30
         days, then such remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and
         diligently pursued thereafter; provided, however, that in no event
         shall such failure or breach be allowed to exist for a period of
         greater than 90 days) after the earlier of (i) the date on which
         written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
         shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee,
         or to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
         Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii)
         actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer; or

                  (iii)    a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
         authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
         under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
         similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
         liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
         assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, 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 90 days; 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 or similar proceedings
         of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of
         its property; or

                                      113
<PAGE>

                  (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)     any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance on
         any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
         pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 12:00 p.m.
         New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
         Remittance Date.

                  If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall
occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the
Trustee as successor Servicer, or another successor servicer appointed in
accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance. On or after
the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section,
and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do
or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten
Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's
functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day
to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time
shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO
Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter
be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by
the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances, Servicing
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact

                                      114
<PAGE>

such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice
references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.02.     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a)      (1) On and after the time the Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall separately assume and become the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of
the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.05 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 7.02(a)(2) below,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established
mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency without
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings then assigned to any of
the Certificates and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the
successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement.

                  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided,
that if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02,
such costs shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor
servicer), and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults
in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor
Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).

                  (2)      No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under
this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all
of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this

                                      115
<PAGE>

Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

                  Any successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall
during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.14

                  SECTION 7.03.     Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a)      Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b)      Not later than the later of 60 days after the
occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.

                  SECTION 7.04.     Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

                  The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default;
provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause (i)
or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default,
such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01.     Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to its satisfaction, will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.

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

                  (i)      Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
         Default, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Default
         which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
         shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
         the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
         duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
         no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
         against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
         Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
         statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to
         the requirements of this Agreement;

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

                  (iii)    The Trustee shall not be personally liable with
         respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
         good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of
         Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to
         the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
         available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
         upon it, under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02.     Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a)      Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i)      The Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon
         and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
         any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any
         other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
         request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
         reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
         presented by the proper party or parties;

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

                  (iii)    The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
         exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
         to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
         hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
         Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
         unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
         security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
         expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
         nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
         obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which
         has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and
         powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
         care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or
         use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
         affairs;

                  (iv)     The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
         action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
         it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
         conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                  (v)      Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
         Default hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of
         Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make
         any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
         requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled
         to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the
         payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses
         or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
         investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured
         to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require
         indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such expense or
         liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any
         such action;

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

                                      118
<PAGE>

         custodians or nominees, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
         any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or
         attorneys appointed with due care by it hereunder;

                  (vii)    The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and
         reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written
         investment direction from the Servicer or the Depositor. In no event
         shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
         investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability
         in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
         investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment
         prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the
         Depositor to provide timely written investment direction; and

                  (viii)   In order to comply with its duties under the USA
         Patriot Act of 2001, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain
         information and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement
         including, but not limited to, each such party's name, address and
         other identifying information.

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

                  SECTION 8.03.     Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or
                                    Mortgage Loans.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section
8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes
no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the
Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document or of MERS or the MERS(R) System. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer, other than any
funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10,
subject to Section 8.01.

                  SECTION 8.04.     Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.05.     Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

                  (a)      The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution
Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee
shall pay a portion of the Trustee Fee to the Custodian as compensation for the
Custodian's services under the Custodial Agreement in accordance with a separate
fee schedule between the Custodian and the Trustee. In addition, the Trustee
shall pay the Custodian amounts from the Distribution Account as set forth
below.

                  The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee in connection with any Servicer Event of Default (not including
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in its
capacity as successor Servicer), default, claim or legal action or any pending
or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the
Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
(for which the Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) for
the expenses of preparing and filing Tax Returns pursuant to Section 10.01(d) or
(iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder
or by reason of reckless disregard of its respective obligations and duties
hereunder. It is understood by the parties hereto that a "claim" as used in the
preceding sentence includes any claim for indemnification made by the Custodian
under Section 23 of the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not lose any right it may have to indemnification under this Section 8.05
due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Custodian in the
performance of its duties under the Custodial Agreement or by reason of the
Custodian's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Custodial
Agreement. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee in respect of the indemnification provided by
this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the
Trust Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time.

                  (b)      The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a
breach of the Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the
Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

                  The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.06.     Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07.     Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation
of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer by the
Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation or removal, the Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

                                      121
<PAGE>

                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.

                  SECTION 8.08.     Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held
by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a custodian,
which custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and
the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

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

                  SECTION 8.09.     Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

                  Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  SECTION 8.10.     Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate
                                    Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall

                                      122
<PAGE>

have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or
more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity,
such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.10.

                  In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether
as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.

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

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

                  SECTION 8.11.     Appointment of the Custodian.

                  The Trustee may, at the direction of the Depositor and with
the consent of the Servicer, appoint the Custodian to hold all or a portion of
the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into the Custodial
Agreement. The appointment of the Custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the
Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee shall pay the fees (out of the Trustee Fee) and expenses
not covered by the monthly fee paid to the Custodian (out of the Distribution
Account) in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof and the Custodial Agreement. The
Trustee, as directed by the Depositor and with the consent of the Servicer
initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Custodian. Subject to Article VIII
hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement

by the Custodian. The Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust
company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. The
Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided therein. The Trustee shall
not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian. In no event shall the
appointment of the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.12.     Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee will designate an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be
delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its
agent located c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park
Entrance, New York, NY 10041 for such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13.     Representations and Warranties of the
                                    Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, solely as to
itself, to the Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

                  (i)      It is a national banking association duly organized,

         and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by
         it, will not violate its charter or bylaws.

                  (iii)    It has the full power and authority to enter into and
         consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
         authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
         and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

                  (iv)     This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution
         and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal
         and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with
         the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
         of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
         proceeding in equity or at law.

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 9.01.     Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation
                                    of All Mortgage Loans.

                  (a)      Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations
and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee (other than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.05 and of the Servicer to make remittances to the Trustee and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment
to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the
date hereof and (b) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the
Preliminary Statement).

                  Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator
of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a
price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be
conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator
and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine
Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the
termination, the Trustee, in their reasonable discretion) and (ii) the fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined by the
Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of
Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of
the termination, the Trustee (it being understood and agreed that any
determination by the Trustee shall be made solely in reliance on an appraisal by
an Independent appraiser as provided above)), as of the close of business on the
third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such
termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section
9.01(c), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the
final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any
unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and
any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts (the "Termination Price");
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to
retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture. If the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties shall be required to be made by the Terminator and an
Independent appraiser as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be

                                      126
<PAGE>

obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

                  (b)      The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates (so
long as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) or if such majority
Holder fails to exercise such right, the Servicer, shall have the right (the
party exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is
reduced to less than 10% (in the case of the majority Holder of the Class CE
Certificates) or 5% (in the case of the Servicer) of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of
a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

                  (c)      Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall
be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in
the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 10th day and
not later than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of the final
distribution on the related Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of
such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will
terminate and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as
applicable and the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest
shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the related
Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final
Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of
all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase
price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the
Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to
withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and
(ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to
Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Terminator of
the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans,

                                      127
<PAGE>

and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

                  Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

                  SECTION 9.02.     Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a)      In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund (or the applicable Trust REMIC) shall
be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

                  (i)      The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
         liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
         Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
         satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
         of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
         of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;

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

                  (iii)    At the time of the making of the final payment on the
         Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
         distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in
         respect of the Class R-I Interest all cash on hand in the Trust Fund
         (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall
         terminate at that time.

                  (b)      At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if
the Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event
described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense
of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the
Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC
pursuant to this Section 9.02.

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

                  SECTION 10.01.    REMIC Administration.

                  (a)      The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as
a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC
I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and
the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I.
For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC II, the REMIC II
Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC II and
the Class R-II Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC
II. The Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class CE Interest
and the Class P Interest shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC
III and the Class R-III Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in
REMIC III. The Class CE Certificates shall be designated as the Regular
Interests in REMIC IV and the Class R-IV Interest shall be designated as the
Residual Interest in REMIC IV. The Class P Certificates shall be designated as
the Regular Interests in REMIC V and the Class R-V Interest shall be designated
as the Residual Interest in REMIC V. The Trustee shall not permit the creation
of any "interests" in any Trust REMIC (within the meaning of Section 860G of the
Code) other than the REMIC Regular Interests and the interests represented by
the Certificates.

                  (b)      The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup
Day" of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (c)      The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all
expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited
to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with
respect to each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel required to be obtained hereunder. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust
REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation
to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent
the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.
The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual
Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the Trust REMICs created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the Trust Fund.

                  (d)      The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the
Tax Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days following
the Closing Date) in respect of each

                                      129
<PAGE>

Trust REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.

                  (e)      The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust
REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not
a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will
serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing
Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be
relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

                  (f)      The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause
each Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to
create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The
Trustee shall not take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or
fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action;
provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to
any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to
take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may
consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be
borne by the party seeking to take the action

                                      130
<PAGE>

not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense
of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will
ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will consist of
"qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the
extent such obligations are within the Trustee's control and not otherwise
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (g)      In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any Trust REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such
REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any
such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of
state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this
Article X, or (iii) in all other cases, against amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

                  (h)      On or before April 15 of each calendar year,
commencing April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an
Officer's Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this
Article X.

                  (i)      The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.

                  (j)      Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor
the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other
than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

                  (k)      Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into
any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor knowingly permit any Trust REMIC to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.

                  SECTION 10.02.    Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of

                                      131
<PAGE>

REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such
sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at
the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03.    Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

                  (a)      The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in this Article X.

                  (b)      The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,
any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer's covenants
set forth in Article III or this Article X.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01.    Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify
or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to amend the provisions of Section
4.06 or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either
(a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency).
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be
required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 4.06.

                  This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as
evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii)
written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating
Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a
Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as described in (i) or (iii) modify the
consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

                  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i)
will not result in the imposition of any tax on any

                                      133
<PAGE>

Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) is
authorized or permitted hereunder.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

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

                  The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 11.02.    Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is
subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property
records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or
all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be

direction of the Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Certificateholders.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  SECTION 11.03.    Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation

time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder
be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the
parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

                  SECTION 11.04.    Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall
be determined in accordance with such laws, without regard to the conflicts of

                  SECTION 11.08.    Article and Section References.

                  All article and section references used in this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 11.09.    Grant of Security Interest.

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                    RIGHTS OF THE CLASS CE CERTIFICATEHOLDER

                  SECTION 12.01.    Reports and Notices.

                  (a)      In connection with the performance of its duties
under this Agreement relating to, among other things, the collection of Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer shall provide to the Class CE Certificateholder the
following notices and reports in a timely manner and using the same methodology
and calculations used in its standard servicing reports to the Trustee. The
Servicer shall send all such notices and reports to the Class CE
Certificateholder in electronic format unless otherwise specified herein or
agreed to in writing by the Class CE Certificateholder.

                  (i)      The Servicer shall, within ten Business Days after
         each Distribution Date, commencing in March 2005, provide to the Class
         CE Certificateholder a report of each Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund,
         indicating the information contained in Exhibit L for the Due Period
         relating to such Distribution Date and to the extent such information
         is reasonably available to the Servicer.

                  (ii)     Within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date
         commencing in March 2005, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE
         Certificateholder with a report listing each Mortgage Loan that has
         liquidated or paid off. Such report shall specify, if applicable and to
         the extent the information is reasonably available to the Servicer: (a)
         mortgage loan number; (b) outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the
         mortgage loan upon its liquidation; (c) Realized Loss or gain; (d)
         Liquidation Proceeds; (e) payoff date; (f) Prepayment Charges
         collected.

                  (iii)    Where applicable, the Servicer shall provide the
         Class CE Certificateholder with copies of all primary mortgage
         insurance claims filed, as well as the actual amount paid in respect of
         any claim. Copies of any primary mortgage insurance claims will be
         provided to the Class CE Certificateholder within ten Business Days of
         their filing with the mortgage insurance company.

                  (iv)     The Servicer shall provide the Class CE
         Certificateholder with a copy of the monthly reporting to the Trustee,
         and of any notice submitted to the Trustee regarding a loan
         modification. Such notice shall be provided to the Class CE
         Certificateholder simultaneous with its delivery to the Trustee.

                  (v)      On a monthly basis, the Servicer shall provide the
         Class CE Certificateholder with a delinquency report detailing at a
         minimum the percentages of 30-day, 60-day and 90-day delinquencies in
         the Servicer's total portfolio that move into foreclosure and the
         percentage of foreclosed loans the Servicer's total portfolio that
         remain in foreclosure.

                                      138
<PAGE>

                  (b)      The Servicer shall make its servicing personnel
available during their normal business hours to respond to reasonable inquiries,
either orally or in writing by facsimile transmission, express mail, or
electronic mail, transmitted by the Class CE Certificateholder in connection
with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under subsection 12.01(a)(i)
through (iv) which has been given to the Class CE Certificateholder; provided
that the Servicer shall only be required to provide information that is
reasonably accessible to its servicing personnel.

                  (c)      If reasonably requested by the Class CE
Certificateholder, the Servicer shall make available to the Class CE
Certificateholder access to the underwriting files for defaulted Mortgage Loans,
in original, photocopied or imaged form, to the extent such files have been
provided to the Servicer. The Class CE Certificateholder agrees to protect the
confidentiality of the documents and information contained in underwriting files
from all parties other than the Depositor and Trustee, and agrees not to remove,
mark or destroy any of the documents contained therein.

                  (d)      With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced
at any time by the Servicer through a Sub-Servicer which has been approved by
the Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the
Servicer shall be entitled to rely for all purposes hereunder, including for
purposes of fulfilling its reporting obligations under this Section 12.01, on
the accuracy and completeness of any information provided to it by the
applicable subservicer. The Servicer shall not allow any Mortgage Loan to be
serviced by a Sub-Servicer without the prior written consent of such
Sub-Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder.

                  (e)      The Servicer shall permit the Class CE
Certificateholder to conduct an on-site review and evaluation of the Servicer's
operations as they relate to the Mortgage Loans no more than annually, unless
circumstances warrant special review. Such review and evaluation will be
conducted upon at least 30 days written notice to the Servicer by the Class CE
Certificateholder, and shall be conducted at the Class CE Certificateholder's
expense. The review is intended to benefit the Servicer, as well as to assist
the Class CE Certificateholder in adjusting its monitoring approach to fit the
default procedures in place. The Class CE Certificateholder will conduct such
review and evaluation during normal business hours and use its best efforts to
cause the least practicable interruption to the Servicer's business. During the
course of the on-site evaluation, the Servicer will make available to the Class
CE Certificateholder access to the Servicer's policies and procedures regarding
the management and liquidation of defaulted Mortgage Loans. The written findings
of such review and evaluation will be presented to the Servicer for review and
comment. Other than a comfort letter to the Depositor summarizing the review and
evaluation of the Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will not divulge the
written findings of such review to any party without the prior written consent
of the Servicer.

                  SECTION 12.02.    Class CE Certificateholder's Directions With
                                    Respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a)      All parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
Class CE Certificateholder's advice is made in the form of directions, and that
the Class CE Certificateholder has the right to direct the Servicer in
performing its duties under this

                                      139
<PAGE>

Agreement. The Servicer must accept such advice, subject to the duties of the
Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

                  (b)      The Class CE Certificateholder may provide the
Servicer with advice regarding the management of specific defaulted Mortgage
Loans. Such advice may be made in writing, in the form of electronic mail. The
advice provided to the Servicer may be based on observations made in conjunction
with the data provided pursuant to the Section 2.01 of this Agreement, or in
conjunction with the Class CE Certificateholder's periodic review of the
Servicer's operations. The advice may include comparable analysis of the
performance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund with similar mortgage loans
serviced by other mortgage loan servicers. Such advice also may take the form of
benchmark comparisons that identify and interpret the Servicer's strengths and
weaknesses relative to similar, unidentified servicers in the industry.

                  (c)      In all cases where the Class CE Certificateholder
makes directions to the Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will protect
the confidentiality of the Servicer and other servicers in the industry whose
work is monitored by the Class CE Certificateholder. Under no circumstances will
the Class CE Certificateholder divulge any materials confidential of the
Servicer, whether a party to this Agreement or not, or the details of any
Servicer's proprietary system or approaches.

                  (d)      All advice offered to the Servicer by the Class CE
Certificateholder will be kept confidential by the Class CE Certificateholder,
except as disclosed as a finding in the Class CE Certificateholder's review and
evaluation of the Servicer, as discussed in Section 12.01 (e), or in reports to
the Depositor.

                  (e)      The Servicer's obligations under this Article XII
shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01.

                  (f)      Neither the Servicer nor the Class CE
Certificateholder nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Article XII or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or the Class CE Certificateholder or any such Person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or
bad faith. The Servicer and the Class CE Certificateholder and any director,
officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder.

                  (g)      The Servicer or the Class CE Certificateholder, as
applicable, ("Indemnitor") shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other
("Indemnitee") and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and
against all claims, losses, expenses, fees (including attorneys' and expert
witnesses' fees), costs and judgments involving the rights and obligations of
this Article XII that may be asserted against Indemnitee (a) that result from
the acts or omissions of the Indemnitor, or (b) result from third party claims
of intellectual property infringement.

                  (h)      The Class CE Certificateholder agrees that all
information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be used by the Class
CE Certificateholder only for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Class CE
Certificateholder shall be entitled to retain all records or other information
supplied to Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement.

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the

                                     A-1-3

owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

Certificate is registered as the

                                     A-4-3
<PAGE>

owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such

                  The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of
interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall
equal a rate per annum equal to the

<PAGE>

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the

                                     A-5-3
<PAGE>

owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable

of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf

governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all

Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the

owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates

the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same

Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the

Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate
by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-10 Certificates as
of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by
all the Class M-10 Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term

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

hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be

of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-10 Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if
such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business

<PAGE>

related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor and the

                                     A-13-4
<PAGE>

Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or

                                     A-14-4
<PAGE>

any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                      ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the
"Trust Fund") consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to
four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage

         CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF
         THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
         UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR
         INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

                  This certifies that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. is the

beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Certificates of the Class to
which this Certificate belongs created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among Citigroup Mortgage

successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if
such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or

entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the
Agreement.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of

<PAGE>

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

<PAGE>

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement

                                     A-16-5
<PAGE>

permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                      ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the
"Trust Fund") consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to
four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") formed and sold by

                       CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

         THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
         CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF
         THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
         UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR
         INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

                  This certifies that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. is the
registered owner of a Percentage Interest (as specified above) in that certain
beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Certificates of the Class to
which this Certificate belongs created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if
such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the
Agreement.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of

<PAGE>

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

                  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in
the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                                     A-17-4
<PAGE>

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement

                                     A-17-5
<PAGE>

permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

be duly executed.

                  WHEREAS, Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Inc. (the "Depositor")

behalf of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT1, under a Pooling and

pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans set forth
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit 7 hereto, the Servicer desires
to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes, along

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings
herein expressed, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                  1.       DEFINITIONS.

                  Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  2.       DELIVERY OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  The Depositor has delivered and released, or will cause to be
delivered and released, to the Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date the
following documents pertaining to each of the Mortgage Loans identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (the "Custodial File"):

<PAGE>

                  (i)      the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in
the following form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company,
as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;

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

                  (iii)    an original Assignment in blank;

                  (iv)     the original recorded Assignment or Assignments
showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person
assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately
preceding clause (iii);

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

                  (vi)     the original lender's title insurance policy,
together with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or subsequent to
the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first or
second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest
vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of
title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as
of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2(i)
above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such
documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a
photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Custodian is subsequently located, such original Mortgage
Note shall be delivered to the Custodian within three Business Days.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and Florida) unless the Depositor is informed
by the Rating Agencies that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal
or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the
manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the
earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer
Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(v) upon receipt of notice

                                       2
<PAGE>

from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) upon receipt of
notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent.
Upon the occurrence of one of the events set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Depositor shall (a) give prompt written notice to the Custodian of
such event and (b) at the expense of the Originator, deliver such Assignments
for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days
following receipt of notice by the Servicer.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2(ii), (iii)
or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but
either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or
(y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of
such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian of a copy of each
such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Custodian, promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original.

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian are and shall be held by or on
behalf of the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case
may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2 to be a part of a Custodial File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian. Any such original
document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to
the terms of this Section to be a part of a Custodial File, shall be delivered
promptly to the Servicer.

                  The Custodian hereby agrees to its duties under Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans.

                  3.       CUSTODIAN'S RECEIPT, EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATION OF
                           CUSTODIAL FILES; INITIAL TRUST RECEIPT DELIVERED BY
                           THE CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File on or before the Closing Date
and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the

delivered to it pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on the Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the
Mortgagor's Name and the street address and city of the Mortgaged Property, and
the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to
items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the

                                       3

definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Custodian was not under any
duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (ii) to determine whether any Custodial File should include any of
the documents specified in clause (e) of Section 2.

                  4.       OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTODIAN.

                  With respect to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the

of the Trustee, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance with this
Agreement and the instructions furnished by the Trustee. The Custodian shall

authorization or genuineness of any document in each Custodial File or of any of
the Mortgage Loans or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or
suitability of any Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall not execute any
endorsements on the Mortgage Notes and Assignments of Mortgages without the
prior written consent of the Trustee, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2
of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to between the Trustee and the
Custodian.

                  The Custodian shall, at the written request of the Trustee,
provide a written report to the Trustee of all Custodial Files released to the
Servicer for servicing purposes.

                  5.       FINAL TRUST RECEIPT.

                  Within one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Custodian
shall review each Custodial File, and shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy
to the Depositor and the Servicer), a Final Trust Receipt attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan (i) paid in full, or (ii)
specifically identified on such Final Trust Receipt as not covered by such Final
Trust Receipt): (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to
paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) and to the extent provided in the
Custodial Files paragraph (v) of Section 2 of this Agreement are in its
possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on
their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on the Custodian's

Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv)
and (xix) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" in the Pooling and

<PAGE>

Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial
File.; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2 of
this Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2
of this Agreement.

                  6.       FUTURE DEFECTS.

                  During the term of this Agreement, if the Custodian discovers
any defect with respect to the Custodial File, the Custodian shall give written
specification of such defect to the Servicer and the Trustee.

                  7.       RELEASE FOR SERVICING.

                  From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or
servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of two
copies (or electronic receipt from the Servicer in a form acceptable to the
Custodian) of a Request for Release of Documents and receipt in the form annexed
hereto as EXHIBIT 3, release to the Servicer, the related Custodial File. The
Servicer shall return to the Custodian the Custodial File when the Servicer's
need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists,
unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated in which case, upon receipt of an
additional Request for Release of Documents and receipt certifying such
liquidation in the form annexed hereto as EXHIBIT 3, the request and receipt
submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7 shall be released by
the Custodian to the Servicer.

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

                  8.       RELEASE FOR PAYMENT.

                  Upon receipt by the Custodian of two copies (or electronic
receipt from the Servicer in a form acceptable to the Custodian) of the
Servicer's Request for Release of Documents and receipt in the form annexed
hereto as EXHIBIT 3 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment, repurchase or
liquidation have been credited to the related custodial account), the Custodian
shall promptly release the related Custodial File to the Servicer.

                  9.       FEES AND EXPENSES OF CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian shall be paid the amounts set forth in the Fee
Schedule ("Fee Schedule"), between the Trustee and the Custodian, by the Trustee
out of a portion of the Trustee Fee. By each Determination Date, the Custodian
shall notify the Trustee of amounts owed to the Custodian with respect to the
related Distribution Date. The payment of amounts to the Custodian in excess of
those set forth in the Fee Schedule (as set forth in writing by the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Custodian to the Trustee), shall be the obligation of the Trust Fund and shall
be payable by the Trustee to the Custodian from amounts in the Distribution
Account. 10. REMOVAL OF CUSTODIAN.

                  The Trustee or Depositor, with or without cause, may upon at
least 60 days' notice remove and discharge the Custodian from the performance of
its duties under this Agreement by written notice from the Trustee to the
Custodian, with a copy to the Servicer. Having given notice of such removal, the
Trustee or the Depositor promptly shall appoint (with the consent of the
Servicer, which shall not unreasonably be withheld) a successor Custodian to act
on behalf of the Trustee by written instrument, one original counterpart of
which instrument shall be retained by the Trustee, with a copy to the Servicer,
and an original to the successor Custodian. In the event of any such removal,
the Custodian shall, upon the Trustee's surrender of the Trust Receipt and
Initial Certifications and Final Trust Receipt, as applicable, promptly transfer
to the successor Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files being administered
under this Agreement. In the event of any such removal and appointment, the
Trustee and the Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the
existing Custodian as set forth in the Section 9. The Trust Fund shall be
responsible for the fees and expenses of the successor Custodian.

                  11.      TRANSFER OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Upon the Custodian's receipt of two (2) Business Days' written
or electronic notification from the Trustee (or such timeframe as the parties
may mutually agree), the Custodian shall release to such persons as the Trustee
shall designate all or a portion of the Custodial Files relating to the Mortgage
Loans subject to the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification or Final Trust
Receipt, as applicable.

                  12.      EXAMINATION OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Upon reasonable prior written notice to the Custodian but not
less than two (2) Business Days notice, the Trustee and its agents, accountants,
attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine
the Custodial Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or
under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage Loans
at the expense of the Trustee.

                  13.      INSURANCE OF CUSTODIAN.

                  At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times
during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect such
insurance in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as
is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as Custodian.
The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policies shall be at
least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie
Mae Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers' & Servicers'
Guide. Upon request, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee that such insurance is in full force and effect.

                  14.      COUNTERPARTS.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute and be one and the same instrument.

                  15.      PERIODIC STATEMENTS.

                  Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Custodian shall
provide to the Trustee a list of all the Mortgage Loans for which the Custodian
holds a Custodial File pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form
of a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with manual deletions to specifically
denote any Mortgage Loans paid off, repurchased or sold since the date of this
Agreement.

                  16.      GOVERNING LAW.

                  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

                  17.      COPIES OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS.

                  Upon the written request of the Trustee and at the cost and

the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, Assignments and other documents relating to one
or more of the Mortgage Loans.

                  18.      NO ADVERSE INTEREST OF CUSTODIAN.

                  By execution of this Agreement, the Custodian represents and
warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement
shall hold, no interest adverse to the Trustee, by way of security or otherwise,
in any Mortgage Loan, and hereby waives and releases any such interest which it
may have in any Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof.

                  19.      TERMINATION BY CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian may terminate its obligations under this
Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days' prior notice to the Servicer and the
Trustee. In the event of such termination, the Trustee or the Depositor (with
the consent of the Servicer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall
appoint a successor Custodian. The payment of the existing Custodian's fees and
expenses shall be solely the responsibility of the Trustee and the Trust Fund as
set forth in Section 9. The Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of the successor Custodian. Upon such appointment, the Custodian shall
promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files
being administered under this Agreement.

Mortgage Loan, and the final remittance of all funds due under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. In such event all documents remaining in the Custodial

employees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees, that may
be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them directly relating to
or arising out of this Custodial Agreement or any action taken or not taken by
it or them hereunder unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements were
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Custodian because of the breach
by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder, which breach was caused by
negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part of the
Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees. The
indemnification set forth in

                                       8
<PAGE>

this section shall survive any termination or assignment of this Custodial
Agreement and the termination or removal of the Custodian.

                  The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Trust Fund
harmless against liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable
attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against them
directly relating to or arising out of a failure to produce a Mortgage Note,
Assignment or any other document related to a Mortgage Loan that was in its
possession pursuant to Section 2 within two (2) Business Days after required or
requested by the Trustee, and provided, that (i) Custodian previously delivered
to the Trustee a Trust Receipt and Initial Certification with respect to such
document (other than any Mortgage Loan identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not covered by such certification); (ii) such document is not
outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release; and (iii) such document was held
by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. In no event shall the Custodian or
its directors, officers, agents and employees be liable for any special,
indirect or consequential damages from any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the
possibility of such damages. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any
termination or assignment of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the
Custodian hereunder. It is hereby understood that the Trustee shall not be
liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian.

                  24.      RELIANCE OF CUSTODIAN.

                  (i)      The Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
any request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to
the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any loan document or other
request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is
specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine, subject to the limitations on the
Custodian's obligations set forth herein, whether or not it conforms to the
requirements of this Agreement.

                  (ii)     The Custodian shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
The Custodian shall have no responsibility nor duty with respect to any
Custodial File while such Custodial File is not in its possession. If the
Custodian requests instructions from the Trustee with respect to any act, action
or failure to act in connection with this Agreement, the Custodian shall be
entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting
unless and until the Custodian shall have received written instructions from the
Trustee with respect to a Custodial File without incurring any liability
therefor to the Trustee or any other Person.

                  (iii)    Other than as provided herein, neither the Custodian
nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action or omission to act hereunder

                                       9
<PAGE>

except for its or their own negligence or lack of good faith or willful
misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except
as expressly provided herein.

                  (iv)     Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in good faith in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
The obligations of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement. No representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation or duty
of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
implied with respect to this Agreement or the Custodian's services hereunder.

                  (v)      The Custodian, its directors, officers, agents and
employees shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine the
Custodial Files to determine that the contents thereof are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have been actually
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

                  (vi)     The Custodian may consult with counsel selected by
the Custodian with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement, and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken,
omitted or suffered by the Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith.

                  (vii)    No provision of this Agreement shall require the
Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
(other than expenses or liabilities otherwise required to be incurred by the
express terms of this Agreement) in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.

                  (viii)   Any corporation into which the Custodian may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Custodian
shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder without the execution or
filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is
required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  25.      TRANSMISSION OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Written or electronic instructions as to the method of
shipment and shipper(s) the Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with
transmission of mortgage files and loan documents in the performance of the
Custodian's duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Servicer (a "Requesting
Party"), to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any mortgage files and loan
documents hereunder. The Requesting Party will arrange for the provision of such

                                       10
<PAGE>

services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian's option, reimburse
the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent
with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage
to mortgage files and loan documents as the Requesting Party deems appropriate.
Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 23 above, it is
expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any
losses or damages to any person, including without limitation, any Requesting
Party, arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with instructions of
the Requesting Party.

                  26.      AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES.

                  Each individual designated as an authorized representative of
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian, respectively (an "AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE"), is authorized to give and receive notices, requests and
instructions and to deliver certificates and documents in connection with this
Agreement on behalf of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case
may be, and the specimen signature for each such Authorized Representative of

to time the parties hereto may, by delivering to each other a revised exhibit,
change the information previously given pursuant to this Section 26, but each of
the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current
exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit.

                  27.      REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

                  This Custodial Agreement and all documents relating thereto
except with respect to the Custodial File, including, without limitation, (a)
consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, and (b)
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be
reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature
photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such
reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any
judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

                  28.      AMENDMENT.

                  This Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by
written agreement signed by the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian.

<PAGE>

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"),
dated February 4, 2005, among Option One Mortgage Corporation, a California
corporation (the "Originator"), Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a New
York corporation (the "Seller") and Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

                              Preliminary Statement
                              ---------------------

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans
into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced
by a single series of asset backed pass-through certificates designated as
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through
Certificates (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of seventeen
classes of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Depositor as depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation as servicer
(the "Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  The parties hereto agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1.        AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.

                  The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to
purchase, on or before February 8, 2005 (the "Closing Date"), certain fixed-rate
and adjustable-rate conventional, one-to four-family, first lien and second
lien, residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from the Originator
(the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of
business on February 1, 2005, (the "Cut-off Date") of $796,069,500 (the "Closing
Balance"), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received including the right to any
Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any
Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on an Originator servicing-retained
basis.

                  SECTION 2.        MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE.

                  The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the
Mortgage Loans are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
and the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing
Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage
Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this
Agreement, including the Prepayment Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform
to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, to the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall
be used as part of the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and shall be based on information provided by the Originator.

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 3.        CONSIDERATION.

                  (a)      In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or
upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the
"Purchase Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the Certificates.

                  (b)      The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due
after the Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after
the Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable
to the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date
shall belong to the Seller.

                  (c)      Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 4.        TRANSFER OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  (a)      POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does hereby
sell, and in connection therewith hereby assigns, to the Purchaser, effective as
of the Closing Date, without recourse but subject to the terms of this
Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage
Loans, including the related Prepayment Charges. The contents of each Mortgage
File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust
by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of
each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related
Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and
documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come
into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately
vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as
otherwise directed by the Purchaser.

                  (b)      DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS. The Seller will,
on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the
following documents for each Mortgage Loan:

                  (i)      the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in
         the following form "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
         Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,"
         with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
         endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the
         Trustee;

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

                  (iii)    an original Assignment in blank;

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     the original recorded Assignment or Assignments
         showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the
         Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the
         immediately preceding clause (iii);

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

                  (vi)     the original lender's title insurance policy or, if
         the original title policy has not been issued, the irrevocable
         commitment to issue the same.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.00% of the
Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to
in Section 2(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the
Purchaser of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note
affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note
affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser is subsequently located, such original
Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Purchaser within three Business Days.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each
such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Purchaser promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. Notice shall be provided to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made
more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender's title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after
receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance policy. The Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof
any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  The Seller shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly
(within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date
of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no
event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the
Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) above and the Seller shall
execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be
executed in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such

                                       3
<PAGE>

Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or
cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and Florida) unless the Trustee
or the Purchaser receives notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Seller shall submit or cause to be
submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at the
expense of the Originator and at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee,
upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25.00% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the
related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent.
Upon receipt of written notice that recording of the Assignments is required
pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Seller shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such
Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

                  Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee,
transferee or designee.

                  (c)      ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after
the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered
after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all
required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

                  (d)      TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser has
the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to
the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Originator, and
the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the
Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or
the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller or the
Originator under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller or the
Originator, as applicable.

                  (e)      EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES. Prior to the Closing
Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage
File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available
to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and

                                       4
<PAGE>

their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal
business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing
Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and
identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the
Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted
from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice
to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the
Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as
provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 5.        REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF
                                    THE ORIGINATOR AND THE SELLER.

                  (a)      The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the
Seller and the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and
covenants, that:

                  (i)      The Originator is duly organized, validly existing
         and in good standing under the laws of the state of California and has
         all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted.
         It is licensed in, qualified to transact business in and is in good
         standing under the laws of the state in which any Mortgaged Property is
         located and is and will remain in compliance with the laws of each
         state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent
         necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan and the
         servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this
         Agreement. No licenses or approvals obtained by the Originator have
         been suspended or revoked by any court, administrative agency,
         arbitrator or governmental body and no proceedings are pending which
         might result in such suspension or revocation;

                  (ii)     The Originator has the full power and authority to
         hold each Mortgage Loan, to sell each Mortgage Loan, and to execute,
         deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate, all transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement. The Originator has duly authorized the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly
         executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement, assuming due
         authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a
         legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator, enforceable
         against it in accordance with its terms except to the extent that (i)
         the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         moratorium, receivership, reorganization, or other similar laws
         relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific
         performance and injunctive relief and other forms of equitable relief
         may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the
         court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought;

                  (iii)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Originator and the performance of and compliance with the terms of this
         Agreement will not violate the Originator's articles of incorporation
         or by-laws or constitute a material default under or result in a
         material breach or acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or
         other instrument to which the Originator is a party or which may be
         applicable to the Originator or its assets;

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     The Originator is not in violation of, and the
         execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Originator and its
         performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not
         constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any
         court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or
         governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Originator or its
         assets, which violation might have consequences that would materially
         and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the
         operation of the Originator or its assets or might have consequences
         that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its
         obligations and duties hereunder;

                  (v)      The Originator is an approved seller/servicer for
         Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved
         mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act. No event
         has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance
         coverage, which would make the Originator unable to comply with Fannie
         Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD eligibility requirements or which would require
         notification to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD;

                  (vi)     The Originator does not believe, nor does it have any
         reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
         covenant contained in this Agreement;

                  (vii)    There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations of, the Originator before any court, administrative or
         other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering into this
         Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C)
         that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance
         by the Originator of its obligations under, or the validity or
         enforceability of, this Agreement;

                  (viii)   No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
         court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
         delivery and performance by the Originator of, or compliance by the
         Originator with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals,
         authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the
         Closing Date; and

                  (ix)     Neither this Agreement nor any written statement,
         report or other document prepared, or to be prepared, by the Originator
         and furnished, or to be furnished, pursuant to this Agreement or in
         connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any
         untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not
         misleading, in light of the circumstances in which such statements were
         made.

                  (b)      The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the
Originator and the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date,
and covenants, that:

                  (i)      The Seller is a corporation, duly organized and
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of
         its incorporation with full corporate power and authority to conduct
         its business as presently conducted by it to the extent material to the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. The Seller has

         executed and delivered by the Seller, all requisite corporate action
         having been taken, and (assuming the due authorization, execution and
         delivery hereof by the Purchaser) constitutes the valid, legal and
         binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its
         terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar
         laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (B)
         general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (C) public policy
         considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such
         public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions
         of this Agreement which purport to provide indemnification from
         securities laws liabilities;

                  (iii)    The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Seller (x) does not conflict and will not conflict
         with, does not breach and will not result in a breach of and does not
         constitute and will not constitute a default (or an event, which with
         notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under (A)
         any terms or provisions of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of
         the Seller, (B) any term or provision of any material agreement,
         contract, instrument or indenture, to which the Seller is a party or by

         regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
         governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of
         its property and (y) does not create or impose and will not result in
         the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance which

         documents or instruments evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loans;

                  (iv)     No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
         registration or filing with, or notice on behalf of the Seller to any
         governmental authority or court is required, under federal laws or the
         laws of the State of New York, for the execution, delivery and
         performance by the Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, this
         Agreement or the consummation by the Seller of any other transaction
         contemplated hereby and by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
         provided, however, that the Seller makes no representation or warranty
         regarding federal or state securities laws in connection with the sale
         or distribution of the Certificates;

                  (v)      This Agreement does not contain any untrue statement
         of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
         statements contained herein not misleading. The written statements,
         reports and other documents prepared and furnished or to be prepared
         and furnished by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in connection
         with the transactions contemplated hereby taken in the aggregate do not

         and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and its performance and
         compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a
         violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any
         order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental
         agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which
         violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely
         affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the
         Seller or its assets or might have consequences that would materially
         and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties
         hereunder;

                  (vii)    The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any
         reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
         covenant contained in this Agreement;

                  (viii)   Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loans
         to the Purchaser as herein contemplated, the Seller will be the owner
         of the related Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the related
         Mortgage Note, and, upon the payment to the Seller of the Purchase
         Price, in the event that the Seller retains or has retained record
         title, the Seller shall retain such record title to each Mortgage, each
         related Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with respect
         thereto in trust for the Purchaser as the owner thereof from and after
         the date hereof;

                  (ix)     There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations known to it of, the Seller before any court,
         administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering
         into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage
         Loans by the Seller or the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or materially
         and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations
         under, or validity or enforceability of, this Agreement;

                  (x)      The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller,
         and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and
         the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or any
         similar statutory provisions;

                  (xi)     The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
         banker, agent or other person, except for the Purchaser or any of its
         affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
         connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;

                  (xii)    There is no litigation currently pending or, to the
         best of the Seller's knowledge without independent investigation,
         threatened against the Seller that would reasonably be expected to
         adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of
         the Certificates or the execution, delivery, performance or
         enforceability of this Agreement, or that would result in a material
         adverse change in the financial condition of the Seller;

                  (xiii)   The Seller is solvent and will not be rendered

<PAGE>

                  (xiv)    All Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with
         all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable
         anti-predatory lending laws;

                  (xv)     None of the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined
         by the applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; and

                  (xvi)    With respect to the Originator's representations and
         warranties set forth in Section 6(1), (3), (17), (22), (23), (33) and
         (43) nothing has occurred since the Whole Loan Sale Date which would
         cause such representation and warranty to be untrue in any material
         respect as of the Closing Date.

                  SECTION 6.        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE
                                    ORIGINATOR RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Seller
and the Purchaser that as to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date or as of
such other date as specified herein:

                  (1)      The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule (as such term is defined in the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Servicing Agreement between the Seller and the Originator, dated August 1, 2004
(the "Whole Loan Agreement") is complete, true and correct as of the date that
the Originator sold such Mortgage Loan to the Seller (the "Whole Loan Sale
Date");

                  (2)      Each document or instrument in the related Mortgage
File is in a form generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that
regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
for sale to prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage
loans such as the Mortgage Loans;

                  (3)      The Originator has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than a
Mortgagor of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the
payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there was
no delinquency (other than payments less than 30 days delinquent), exclusive of
any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder from the
origination of the Mortgage Loan to the Whole Loan Sale Date;

                  (4)      There are no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums or
any other assessments that could jeopardize the lien position of the Mortgage
Loan, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding
charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

                  (5)      The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have
not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which

                                       9
<PAGE>

assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser and the terms of which
are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (6)      The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or valid defense, including the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and
no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted
with respect thereto;

                  (7)      All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies
providing coverage in an amount, except where limited by applicable law to a
lesser amount, not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of
all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage
Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the
outstanding principal balance of the first lien Mortgage Loan and the
outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount
necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to
the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been
required as of the date of origination in accordance with Originator's
underwriting guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any
damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all
premiums due and payable thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in
an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such
insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor;

                  (8)      Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable
to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the
Mortgage Loans have been complied with in all material respects;

                  (9)      The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (10)     The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable
(subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of
general application affecting the rights of creditors) (A) first lien and first
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the Originator to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged
Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to
(a) the lien of current, non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Value of the
Mortgaged Property, (c) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by
the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to
which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the
use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
existing and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority
security interest (in each case, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule);

                  (11)     The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to principles of
equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors and except that the remedy of specific performance and
injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable
defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefore may be brought;

                  (12)     All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;

                  (13)     The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefore have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage;

                  (14)     All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in
compliance with any and all applicable "doing business" and licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (15)     The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1)
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable
to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained in (10)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan
(c), above) the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first or second
priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to
and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Originator and its successors
and assigns are the sole named insured of such lender's title insurance policy,
and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be
in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Originator,
has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy;

                  (16)     There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and the Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration. With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the
related first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first
lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
thereunder, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which
allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien
Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to
cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;

                  (17)     As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, there are no
mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

                  (18)     All improvements which were considered in determining
the Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

                  (19)     The Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the
Originator or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial
bank or similar banking institution

                                       12
<PAGE>

which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a
mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;

                  (20)     Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and, unless otherwise disclosed on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of
each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the
interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate, and, in
the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment
Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage
Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only
Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed five (5) years (or such other period specified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only
period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan. The
Index for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage
Loan is a convertible mortgage loan;

                  (21)     The origination and collection practices used by the
Originator with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary as used by institutions in the
mortgage origination and servicing industry which originate or service mortgage
loans of the same type as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the
related Mortgaged Property is located. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by
the Originator and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all
such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Originator
and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or
Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Originator have been
capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Originator for any work on a
Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

                  (22)     As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged
Property was free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the
total or partial condemnation thereof;

                  (23)     The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain
customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies
of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged

                                       13
<PAGE>

Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding
and the Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgagor has not notified the Originator
and the Originator has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the
Mortgagor under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act;

                  (24)     The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with
the underwriting standards of the Originator in effect at the time the Mortgage
Loan was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms generally
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

                  (25)     The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by
any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (10) above;

                  (26)     The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, was on appraisal form 1004, 2055, 2065 or 704 and, except as
otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, contained an interior
inspection and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator, who had
no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on
the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;

                  (27)     In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Mortgagor;

                  (28)     No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to
which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in
any separate account established by the Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on
behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c)

                  (a)      The representations and warranties contained in

or any failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine
such documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of
the Certificates.

assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give

the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the
Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents
as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within
five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section
7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser

P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge that is due and payable as result of a
Principal Prepayment, the Originator shall pay the amount of the scheduled

the provisions of any related title insurance policy prior to seeking a remedy

the Originator or the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 6.

the Purchaser, (ii) the Underwriter, (iii) the Person, if any, to which the
Purchaser assigns its rights in and to a

                                       21
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan and each of their respective successors and assigns and (iv) each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") ((i) through (iv)
collectively, the "Indemnified Party") against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any private placement
memorandum relating to the offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of
the Class CE Certificates or the Class P Certificates, or the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein the material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (i)
information furnished in writing to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by
the Originator or any of its affiliates specifically for use therein, which
shall include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set
forth under the captions "Summary of Prospectus Supplement--The Mortgage Loans,"
"Risk Factors" (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans
contained therein), "The Mortgage Pool," "The Originator" and "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement--The Servicer" and, with respect to any private placement
memorandum, any information of a comparable nature, or (ii) the data files
containing information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted by
modem to the Purchaser by the Originator or any of its affiliates (as such
transmitted information may have been amended in writing by the Originator or
any of its affiliates with the written consent of the Purchaser subsequent to
such transmission), (b) any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Originator or any affiliate of the Originator herein or in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, on which the Purchaser has relied, being, or alleged to be,
untrue or incorrect or (c) any updated collateral information provided by any
Underwriter to a purchaser of the Certificates derived from the data contained
in clause (ii) and the Remittance Report or a current collateral tape obtained
from the Originator or an affiliate of the Originator, including the current
Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that to the
extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which
the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or are based upon both (1)
statements, omissions, representations, warranties or covenants of the
Originator described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above and (2) any other factual
basis, the Originator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party
only to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses, damages, or liabilities of
the person or persons asserting the claim are determined to rise from or be
based upon matters set forth in clause (1) above and do not result from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. This indemnity
shall be in addition to any liability that the Originator may otherwise have.

                  SECTION 13.       MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY
                                    INTEREST.

                  The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage
Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and
agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and
that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser
for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the
Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date.
The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
interest in the Seller's interest

                                       22
<PAGE>

in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such
Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation
hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody
for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior to the Closing
Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement, and
(ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the
Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest
created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 12
shall be deemed to have been released.

                  SECTION 14.       NOTICES.

                  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to
or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and,
receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to
the Purchaser at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10013,
Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter be
furnished to the Originator and the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to
the Originator, addressed to the Originator at 3 Ada, Irvine, California 92618,
Attention: William O'Neill, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished
to the Seller and the Purchaser in writing by the Originator; if to the Seller,
addressed to the Seller, 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York
10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or to such other address as the Seller
may designate in writing to the Purchaser and the Originator.

                  SECTION 15.       SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.

                  Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this
Agreement that is prohibited or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable
or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto
waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any
provision hereof.

                  SECTION 16.       AGREEMENT OF PARTIES.

                  The Seller, the Originator and the Purchaser each agree to
execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the
others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 17.       SURVIVAL.

                  (a)      The Seller agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the
Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other
instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent
termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust
Fund.

                  (b)      The Originator agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Seller and the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of
them, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the
Originator herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall continue
in full force and effect, notwithstanding subsequent termination of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 18.       GOVERNING LAW.

                  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS)
AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY
TO THIS AGREEMENT.

                  SECTION 19.       MISCELLANEOUS.

                  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither
this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and
shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

                                       24

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in
all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and
all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser
or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of
property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession" by the secured party for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial
Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d)
hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Originator have caused their names to be signed by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third

                                     F-1-5
<PAGE>

party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude
that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

                  7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

                    FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK    )
                     : ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK   )

                  The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:

                  1.       The undersigned is an officer of Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc., the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate (the "CERTIFICATE") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of February 1, 2005 (the "AGREEMENT"), among Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the "DEPOSITOR"), Option One Mortgage
Corp., as servicer (the "SERVICER") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
trustee (the "TRUSTEE"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in
Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

                  2.       The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will
be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

                  3.       The Transferee has been advised of, and understands
that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that
are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor,
or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.

                  4.       The Transferee has been advised of, and understands
that a tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if
at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)

                  5.       The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section
5.02(b) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the
acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without
limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions
regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly
agrees

                                     F-2-1
<PAGE>

to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the
Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The
Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations
included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby
null and void.

                  6.       The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for
whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee
will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit F-1 to the Agreement (a "TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATE") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  7.       The Transferee has historically paid its debts as
they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and
understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed
the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay
such taxes as they become due. The Transferee does not have the intention to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with
respect to the Certificate.

                  8.       The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is
[________________].

                  9.       The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).

                  10.      The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect
to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

                  11.      The Transferee will not cause income from the
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
or any other U.S. person.

                  12.      Check one of the following:

                  [ ] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities
associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum
of:

                  (i)      the present value of any consideration given to the
                           Transferee to acquire such Certificate;

                  (ii)     the present value of the expected future
                           distributions on such Certificate; and

                  (iii)    the present value of the anticipated tax savings
                           associated with holding such Certificate as the
                           related REMIC generates losses.

                                     F-2-2
<PAGE>

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

                  [ ] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S.
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

                  (i)      the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as
                           defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
                           1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the
                           Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

                  (ii)     at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
                           Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of
                           the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for
                           financial reporting purposes (excluding any
                           obligation of a person related to the Transferee
                           within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
                           Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million
                           and net assets in excess of $10 million;

                  (iii)    the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to
                           another "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S.
                           Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a
                           transaction that satisfies the requirements of
                           Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and
                           Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury
                           Regulations; and

                  (iv)     the Transferee determined the consideration paid to
                           it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable
                           market assumptions (including, but not limited to,
                           borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
                           assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions,
                           tax rates and other factors specific to the
                           Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.

                  [ ] None of the above.

                  13.      The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that
is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the
Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially

STATE OF NEW YORK   )

COUNTY OF NEW YORK  )

                  __________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:

                  1.       I am a ____________________ of
____________________________ (the "Owner"), a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of ______________, on behalf of whom I make this
affidavit.

                  2.       The Owner is not transferring the Class R [R-X]
Certificates (the "Residual Certificates") to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.

                  3.       The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person
that is the proposed transferee (the "Purchaser") of the Residual Certificates:
(i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as
holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain
outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  4.       The Owner understands that the Purchaser has
delivered to the Trustee a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know
or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

                  5.       At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes
(and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.

                  6.       Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
