                     LEASING OPERATIONS SUPPLIER AGREEMENT
                           (PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES)

      This Agreement is entered into this 11th day of
September____________________, 2003, between Wal*Mart Stores, Inc. of
Bentonville, Arkansas ("Wal*Mart") and H&R Block Services, Inc. and its
subsidiaries ("Supplier"). WHEREFORE, Wal*Mart agrees to make space available in
certain Wal*Mart stores for Supplier's tax return preparation services (the
"Promotion") and Supplier agrees to pay fees and rent to Wal*Mart upon the
following terms and conditions:

1. SERVICE. Supplier agrees to market the Promotion to its independently owned
and operated franchisees as well as to its company-owned stores. Supplier has
been designated as an approved Wal*Mart Other Income Supplier and will be
allowed to offer its Promotion to store managers of stores designated by the
Wal*Mart Other Income Department, in its sole discretion, and identified in the
attached Exhibit A. The list of stores on Exhibit A shall be revised by
September 15 of each year in the year preceding the Tax Season (as defined
below). Each store in which the Promotion was actually operated, to the
satisfaction of Wal*Mart Operations, shall remain on the list of stores in
Exhibit A in subsequent years.

      Supplier, will secure approvals for each location from the store manager
and Wal*Mart Stores Operations between July 1 and September 15th of the year
preceding the Tax Season. Supplier shall use reasonable business efforts to
conduct the Promotion at each of the store locations listed on Exhibit A.
Supplier will provide Wal*Mart with a final list of all secured locations not
later than September 18th prior to the Tax Season, which shall comprise Exhibit
B hereto. In the event Wal*Mart elects to close an assigned store(s), Wal*Mart
will give the Supplier thirty (30) days prior written notice of such closing.
Wal*Mart shall use reasonable business efforts to provide a substitute location,
but shall not be held responsible for any lost income to Supplier, its
affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, franchisees, agents, or assigns. If a
closing occurs during Tax Season, then Supplier shall not be obligated to make
future rental payments with respect to the location and Wal*Mart shall return to
the Supplier the pro-rata portion of all Base Rent received for periods in which
Supplier did not occupy the location and no substitute location is taken by
Supplier. Supplier shall operate its promotion during Tax Season only. The term
"Tax Season" means the period beginning not earlier than January 2 nor later
than January 15th and ending on April 15th (or such later date as the Internal
Revenue Service permits the filing of federal income tax returns without
extension). Each year during the Term, Wal*Mart shall grant Supplier access to
the store on or after December 28th for the purpose of constructing and
equipping the Sites. Thereafter, Supplier shall have access to each Site during
all hours when the store is open to Wal*Mart associates. Supplier will remove
all of its furnishings and equipment used at a Site within 5 days after the end
of each Tax Season of each year during the Term.

2. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date the Agreement is
signed and shall end on May 30, 2005 unless terminated earlier in accordance
with provisions of Section 19. It is also agreed and understood that Wal*Mart
shall have the right to propose a new commission schedule in advance of the 2005
Tax Season (but no later than July 1, 2004) and that Supplier shall have thirty
(30) days to accept said new commission schedule or terminate the Agreement,
provided however that no such new commission scheduled shall contain rents in
excess of 130% of the current rents. In the event that Supplier or Supplier's
franchisee does not generate at least thirty-five thousand dollars

($35,000) of gross revenue at any Site during the Tax Season, then Supplier may
de-list that Site from the list of stores on Exhibit A.

3. LOCATION. Supplier will be allotted space for a 6 ft. X 15 ft kiosk (the
"Site") approximately ninety (90) square feet in the approved area in each
Wal*Mart Store and Supercenter identified on Exhibit B attached hereto. For each
store designated on Exhibit A, Wal*Mart will assign up to three potential Site
locations as set forth on Exhibit C, and which shall be subject to the Store
Manager's approval. In the event a Site(s) is not available or unacceptable to
Supplier, Wal*Mart shall be under no obligation to provide a substitute location
nor shall Wal*Mart be held responsible for any lost income to Supplier its
affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, franchisees, agents, or assigns. After the
kiosk is located in a store with the Store Manager's approval, if the Store

            (c) (i) Pursuant to and subject to the Note Purchase Agreement, the
Trust may, at its sole option, from time to time request that the Initial
Noteholder advance on any Transfer Date Additional Note Principal Balances and
the Initial Noteholder shall remit on such Transfer Date to the Advance Account
an amount equal to the Additional Note Principal Balance with respect to such
Transfer Date. Pursuant to and subject to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Trust
shall request that the Initial Noteholder advance on each Funding Date
Additional Note Principal Balances equal to the Additional Note Balance to be
purchased by the Trust on such date and the Initial Noteholder shall remit on
such Funding Date to the Funding Account an amount equal to such Additional Note
Principal Balance.

            (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event

Balances on a Transfer Date if the conditions precedent with respect to such
Transfer Date under Section 2.06(a) and the conditions precedent to the purchase
of Additional Note Principal Balances set forth in Section 3.01 of the Note
Purchase Agreement have not been fulfilled. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in no event shall the Initial Noteholder be required to advance

Advance Note Purchase Agreement have not been fulfilled.

            (iii) The Servicer shall appropriately note any Additional Note
Principal Balance (and the increased Note Principal Balance) in the next
succeeding Payment Statement; provided, however, that failure to make any such
notation in such Payment Statement or any error in such notation shall not
adversely affect any Noteholder's rights with respect to its Note Principal
Balance and its right to receive interest and principal payments in respect of
the Note Principal Balance held by such Noteholder. The Initial Noteholder shall
record on the schedule attached to such Noteholder's Note, the date and amount
of any Additional Note Principal Balance advanced by it; provided, that failure
to make such recordation on such schedule or any error in such schedule shall
not adversely affect any Noteholder's rights with respect to its Note Principal
Balance and its right to receive interest payments in respect of the Note
Principal Balance held by such Noteholder.

            (iv) Absent manifest error, the Note Principal Balance of each Note
as set forth in the Initial Noteholder's records shall be binding upon the
Noteholders and the Trust,

notwithstanding any notation made by the Servicer in its Payment Statement
pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

            Section 2.02 Ownership and Possession of Loan Files.

            With respect to each Loan, as of the related Transfer Date the
ownership of the related Promissory Note, the related Mortgage and the contents
of the related Servicer's Loan File and Custodial Loan File shall be vested in
the Trust for the benefit of the Securityholders, although possession of the
Servicer's Loan File on behalf of and for the benefit of the Securityholders
shall remain with the Servicer, and the Custodian shall take possession of the
Custodial Loan Files as contemplated in Section 2.05 hereof.

            Section 2.03 Books and Records Intention of the Parties.

            (a) As of each Transfer Date, the sale of each of the Loans conveyed
by the Depositor on such Transfer Date shall be reflected on the balance sheets
and other financial statements of the Depositor and the Loan Originator, as the
case may be, as a sale of assets by the Depositor and a sale of assets and a
contribution to capital by the Loan Originator and the Depositor, as applicable,
under GAAP. Each of the Servicer and the Custodian shall be responsible for
maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each
Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of each Loan, as of
the related Transfer Date, by the Issuer and for the benefit of the
Securityholders.

            (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, other than for
federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes, the transfers and
assignments on the initial Closing Date and on each Transfer Date shall
constitute a sale of the Loans and all related property from the Depositor to
the Issuer and such property shall not be property of the Depositor or the Loan
Originator. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, other than for
federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes, the transfers and
assignments on each Funding Date shall constitute a sale of the Advance Note,
the related Additional Note Balances and all related property from the Advance
Trust to the Issuer and such property shall not be property of the Advance
Depositor or the Receivables Seller. The parties hereto shall treat the Notes as
indebtedness for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

            (c) If any of the assignments and transfers of the Loans and the
other property of the Trust Estate specified in Section 2.01 (a) hereof by the
Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or the conveyance of the
Loans or any of such other property of the Trust Estate by the Depositor to the
Issuer, other than for federal, state and local income or franchise tax
purposes, is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge
of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of
the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
that, in such event, with respect to such property, (i) consisting of Loans and
related property, the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted, as of the
related Transfer Date, to the Issuer a first priority security interest in the
entire right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to such Loans and
proceeds and all other property conveyed to the Issuer as of such Transfer Date,
(ii) consisting of any other property specified in Section 2.01(a), the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted, as of the initial Closing Date, to
the Issuer a first priority security interest in the entire right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

to such property and the proceeds thereof. In such event, with respect to such
property, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law.

            (d) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall, at each party's sole
expense, cause to be filed UCC-1 Financing Statements naming the Issuer as
"secured party" and describing the Trust Estate being sold by the Depositor to
the Issuer with the office of the Secretary of State of the state in which the
Depositor is located and any other jurisdictions as shall be necessary to
perfect a security interest in the Trust Estate. In addition, on the Closing
Date, the Loan Originator shall, at its expense, cause to be filed UCC-1
Financing Statements naming the Depositor as "secured party" and describing the
Loans being sold by the Loan Originator to the Depositor with the office of the
Secretary of the State in which the Loan Originator is located and such other
jurisdictions as shall be necessary to perfect a security interest in the Trust
Estate. On or before the initial Funding Date, the Issuer shall, at its expense,
cause to be filed UCC-1 Financing Statements naming the Issuer as "secured
party" and describing the Advance Note being sold by the Advance Trust to the
Issuer with the office of the Secretary of the State in which the Advance Trust
is located and such other jurisdictions as shall be necessary to perfect a
security interest in the Trust Estate.

            Section 2.04 Delivery of Loan Documents.

            (a) The Loan Originator shall, prior to the related Transfer Date,
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Custodial
Agreement, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, as the designated
agent of the Indenture Trustee, a Loan Schedule, the Borrowing Base Information
(as defined in the Custodial Agreement) and each document constituting the
Custodial Loan File (or, in the case of a Wet Funded Loan, the Custodial Loan

Delivery Date).

            (b) The Loan Originator shall, on the related Transfer Date (or in

related Servicer's Loan File (i) for the benefit of, and as agent for, the
Noteholders and (ii) for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the

maintain continuous physical possession of the Custodial Loan Files in the State
of California (or upon prior written notice from the Custodian to the Loan
Originator and the Initial Noteholder and delivery of an Opinion of Counsel with
respect to the continued perfection of the Indenture Trustee's security
interest, in the State of. Minnesota or Utah) and, in connection therewith,
shall act solely as agent for the Noteholders in accordance with the terms
hereof and not as agent for the Loan Originator, the Servicer or any other
party.

to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver such certifications as are

perform all of its obligations with respect to the Custodial Loan Files in
strict accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement.

            (b) (i) With respect to any Loans which are set forth as exceptions
in the Exceptions Report, the Loan Originator shall cure such exceptions by
delivering such missing documents to the Custodian or otherwise curing the
defect no later than, in the case of (x) a non-Wet Funded Loan, 5 Business
Days, or (y) in the case of a Wet Funded Loan one Business Day after the Wet

            (ii) In the event that, with respect to any Loan, the Loan
Originator does not comply with the document delivery requirements of this
Section 2.05, the Loan Originator shall repurchase such Loan within one Business
Day of notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Initial Noteholder at
the Repurchase Price thereof with respect to such Loan by depositing such
Repurchase Price in the Collection Account. In lieu of such a repurchase, the
Depositor and Loan Originator may comply with the substitution provisions of
Section 3.06 hereof. The Loan Originator shall provide the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Initial Noteholder with a certification of
a Responsible Officer on or prior to such repurchase or substitution indicating

            (iii) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Loan
Originator to repurchase or substitute any such Loan pursuant to this Section
2.05(b) shall constitute the sole remedy with respect to such failure to comply
with the foregoing delivery requirements.

            (c) In performing its reviews of the Custodial Loan Files pursuant
to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall have no responsibility to
determine the genuineness of any document contained therein and any signature
thereon. The Custodian shall not have any responsibility for determining whether
any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been
recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or
whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

            (d) The Servicer's Loan File shall be held in the custody of the
Servicer (i) for the benefit of, and as agent for, the Noteholders and (ii) for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, for so long
as the Notes are outstanding; after the Notes are not outstanding, the
Servicer's Loan File shall be held in the custody of the Servicer for the

which such documents or instruments are located. The Servicer shall promptly
report to the Indenture Trustee any failure by it to hold the Servicer's Loan
File as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any
such failure. In acting as custodian of such documents and instruments, the
Servicer agrees not to assert any legal or beneficial ownership interest in the
Loans or such documents or instruments. Subject to Section 8.01(d), the Servicer
agrees to indemnify the Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee, their
officers, directors, employees, agents and "control persons" as such term is

expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Securityholders or the Indenture Trustee as the result of the
negligence or willful misfeasance by the Servicer relating to the maintenance
and custody of such documents or instruments which have been delivered to the
Servicer provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable for any portion
of any such amount resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Securityholders or the Indenture Trustee; and provided, further, that the
Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the Servicer's compliance with any instructions or directions consistent with
this Agreement issued to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Majority
Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or otherwise
oversee the Servicer's performance as custodian of the Servicer Loan File

request and direct, including without limitation providing the Loan Originator
such information as may be required to make representations and warranties
required hereunder, and covenants that it will make such representations and
warranties regarding its servicing of the Loans hereunder as of the Cut-off Date
of the related Disposition as reasonably required by the Disposition

      (e) [reserved]

      (f) The Majority Noteholders may effect Whole Loan Sales upon written
notice to the Servicer of its intent to cause the Issuer to effect a Whole Loan
Sale at least 5 Business Days in advance thereof. The Disposition Agent shall
serve as agent for Whole Loan Sales and will receive a reasonable fee for such
services provided that no such fee shall be payable if (i) the Loan Originator
or its Affiliates purchase such Loans, and (ii) no Event of Default or Default
shall have occurred. The Loan Originator or its Affiliates may concurrently bid
to purchase Loans in a Whole Loan Sale; provided, however, that neither the Loan

event that the Loan Originator does not bid in any such Whole Loan Sale, it
shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Loans offered for sale at

Whole Loan Sale subject to the Loan Originator's right of first refusal and

notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default.

      (h) The Disposition Participants (and the Majority Noteholders to the
extent directing the Disposition Participants) shall be independent contractors
to the Issuer and shall have no fiduciary obligations to the Issuer or any of
its Affiliates. In that connection, the Disposition Participants shall not be
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith and shall

                                      -52-

not be liable with respect to any action they take or omits to take in good
faith in the performance of their duties.

      Section 3.08 Servicer Put; Servicer Call.

      (a) Servicer Put. The Servicer shall (within 48 hours) purchase, upon the
written demand of the Majority Noteholders, any Put/Call Loan. Provided that the

Loan pursuant to (b) below, in which case such repurchase shall be deemed a
Servicer Call.

      (b) Servicer Call. The Servicer may repurchase any Put/Call Loan at any
time. Such Servicer Calls shall be solely at the option of the Servicer. Prior
to exercising a Servicer Call, the Servicer shall deliver written notice to the
Majority Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee which notice shall identify each
Loan to be purchased and the Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however, that
the Servicer may irrevocably waive its right to repurchase any Put/Call Loan as
soon as reasonably practicable following its receipt of notice of the occurrence
of any event or events giving rise to such Loan being a Put/Call Loan.

      (c) In connection with each Servicer Put, the Servicer shall remit for
deposit into the Collection Account, the Repurchase Price for the Loans to be
repurchased. In connection with each Servicer Call, the Servicer shall deposit

notification of any modification or change to the Underwriting Guidelines, If
the Noteholder objects in writing to any modification or change to the
Underwriting Guidelines within 15 days after receipt of such notice, no Loans
may be conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement unless such Loans have
been originated pursuant to the Underwriting Guidelines without giving effect to
such modification or change. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, any Loan conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement pursuant to a modification or change to the Underwriting Guidelines
that has been rejected by the Initial Noteholder or which the Initial Noteholder
did not receive notice of, such Loan shall be deemed an Unqualified Loan and be
repurchased or substituted for in accordance with Section 3.06.

      Section 5.03 Trust Accounts; Trust Account Property.

      (a) Control of Trust Accounts. Each of the Trust Accounts established

Indenture and shall be subject to the lien of the Indenture. Amounts distributed
from each Trust Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be
released for the benefit of the Securityholders from the Trust Estate upon such
distribution thereunder or hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in
the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon)
and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust
Account Property and the Trust Estate. If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases
to be an Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, within ten Business Days
(or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, with the prior written
consent of the Majority Noteholders) (i) establish a new Trust Account as an
Eligible Account, (ii) terminate the ineligible Trust Account, and (iii)
transfer any cash and investments from such ineligible Trust Account to such new
Trust Account.

      With respect to the Trust Accounts, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
agree, that each such Trust Account shall be subject to the sole and exclusive
dominion, custody and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders, and, except as may be consented to in writing by the Majority
Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature and withdrawal
authority with respect thereto.

      The Servicer (unless it is also the Paying Agent) shall not be entitled to
make any withdrawals or payments from the Trust Accounts.

      (b) (1) Investment of Funds. Funds held in the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account and the Transfer Obligation Account may be invested (to the
extent practicable and consistent with any requirements of the Code) in
Permitted Investments, as directed by the Servicer prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and by the Majority Noteholders thereafter, in writing or
facsimile transmission confirmed in writing by the Servicer or Majority
Noteholders, as applicable. In the event the Indenture Trustee has not received
such written direction, such Funds shall be invested in any Permitted Investment
described in clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments. In any
case, funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and the Transfer
Obligation Account must be available for withdrawal without penalty, and any
Permitted Investments must mature or otherwise be available for withdrawal, one
Business Day prior to the next Payment Date and shall not be sold or disposed

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

interest and any other investment earnings on amounts or investments held in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account and the Transfer Obligation Account
shall be paid to the Servicer immediately upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee.
All Permitted Investments in which funds in the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account or the Transfer Obligation Account are invested must be
held by or registered in the name of "Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the Option One Owner Trust
2001-2 Mortgage-Backed Notes."

      (2) Insufficiency and Losses in Trust Accounts. If any amounts are needed
for disbursement from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the
Transfer Obligation Account held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and
sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the
Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a
sufficient amount of the investments in the Collection Account, the Distribution
Account or the Transfer Obligation Account, as the case may be. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting
therefrom, unless such loss or charge is caused by the failure of the Indenture
Trustee to perform in accordance with written directions provided pursuant to
this Section 5.03.

      If any losses are realized in connection with any investment in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the Transfer Obligation Account
pursuant to this Agreement during a period in which the Servicer has the right
to direct investments pursuant to Section 5.03(b), then the Servicer shall
deposit the amount of such losses (to the extent not offset by income from other
investments in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the Transfer
Obligation Account, as the case may be) into the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account or the Transfer Obligation Account, as the case may be,
immediately upon the realization of such loss. All interest and any other
investment earnings on amounts held in the Collection Account, the Distribution
Account and the Transfer Obligation Account shall be taxed to the Issuer and for
federal and state income tax purposes the Issuer shall be deemed to be the owner
of the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and/or the Transfer
Obligation Account, as the case may be.

      (c) Subject to Section 6.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall
not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust
Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any
Permitted Investment included therein.

      (d) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee
acknowledges and agrees that:

            (1) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts
      shall be held solely in the Eligible Accounts, subject to the last
      sentence of Subsection (a) of this Section 5.03; and each such Eligible
      Account shall be subject to the sole and exclusive dominion, custody and
      control of the Indenture Trustee; and, without limitation on the
      foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with
      respect thereto;

            (2) any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property
      shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraphs

      securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)
      of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

            (3) any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held
      through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry
      regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (c) of the
      definition of "Delivery" in Section 1.01 hereof and shall be maintained by
      the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued
      book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in
      such paragraph; and

            (4) any Trust Account Property that is an "uncertificated security"
      under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (3) above
      shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph
      (d) of the definition of "Delivery" in Section 1.01 hereof and shall be
      maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition,
      through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee's (or its
      nominee's) ownership of such security.

      Section 5.04 Advance Account.

      (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause to be
established and maintained an Advance Account (the "Advance Account"), which
shall be a separate Eligible Account entitled "Option One Owner Trust 2001-2
Advance Account, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Indenture
Trustee, for the benefit of the Option One Owner Trust 2001-2 Mortgage-Backed
Notes." The Advance Account shall be maintained with a depository institution

Principal Balances purchased on Transfer Dates shall be deposited in and

      Section 5.06 Transfer Obligation.

      (a) In consideration of the transactions contemplated by the Basic
Documents, the Loan Originator agrees and covenants with the Depositor that:

      (i) In connection with each Disposition it shall fund, or cause to be
funded, reserve funds, pay credit enhancer fees, pay, or cause to be paid,
underwriting fees, fund any difference between the cash Disposition Proceeds and
the aggregate Note Principal Balance at the time of such Disposition, and make,
or cause to be made; such other payments as may be, in the reasonable opinion
of the Disposition Agent, commercially reasonably necessary to effect
Dispositions, in each case to the extent that Disposition Proceeds are
insufficient to pay such amounts;

      (ii) In connection with Hedging Instruments, on the Business Day prior to
each Payment Date, it shall deliver to the Servicer for deposit into the
Transfer Obligation Account any Hedge Funding Requirement (to the extent amounts
available on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.01 are insufficient
to make such payment), when as and if due to any Hedging Counterparty;

      (iii) If any Interest Carry-Forward Amount shall occur, it shall deposit
into the Transfer Obligation Account any such Interest Carry-Forward Amount on
or before the Business Day preceding such related Payment Date;

      (iv) If on any Business Day, there exists an Overcollateralization
Shortfall, upon the written direction of the Initial Noteholder, it shall, on
such Business Day deposit into the Transfer Obligation Account the full amount
of the Overcollateralization Shortfall as of such date, provided, that in the
event that notice of such Overcollateralization Shortfall is provided to the
Loan Originator after 3:00 p.m. New York City time, the Loan Originator shall
make such deposit on the following Business Day; and

      (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Loan Originator shall
promptly deposit into the Transfer Obligation Account the entire amount of the
Unfunded Transfer Obligation;

provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Loan Originator's cumulative payments under or in respect of the Transfer
Obligations (after subtracting therefrom any amounts returned to the Loan
Originator pursuant to Section 5.05(i)(i)) together with the Servicer's
payments in respect of any Servicer Puts shall not in the aggregate exceed the
Unfunded Transfer Obligation.

      (b) The Loan Originator agrees that the Noteholders, as ultimate assignee
of the rights of the Depositor under this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents, may enforce the rights of the Depositor directly against the Loan
Originator.

      Section 6.02 Specification of Certain Tax Matters.

      The Paying Agent shall comply with all requirements of the Code and
applicable state and local law with respect to the withholding from any
distributions made to any Securityholder of any applicable withholding taxes
imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in
connection therewith, giving due effect to any applicable exemptions from such

distributed to the Securityholders, as the case may be, for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for preparing or
filing any tax returns.

      Section 6.03 Valuation of Loans, Hedge Value and Retained Securities
Value, Market Value Agent.

      (a) The Initial Noteholder hereby irrevocably appoints, and the Issuer
hereby consents to the appointment of, the Market Value Agent as agent on behalf
of the Noteholders to determine the Market Value of each Loan, the Hedge Value
of each Hedging Instrument and the Retained Securities Value of all Retained
Securities.

      (b) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.07, the Market Value Agent
shall determine the Market Value of each Loan, for purposes of the Basic
Documents, in its sole judgment, exercised in good faith. In determining the
Market Value of each Loan, the Market Value Agent may consider any information
that it may deem relevant and shall base such determination primarily on the
lesser of its estimate of the projected proceeds from such Loan's inclusion in
(i) a Securitization (inclusive of the projected Retained Securities Value of
any Retained Securities to be issued in connection with such Securitization) and
(ii) a Whole Loan Sale, in each case net of such Loan's ratable share of all
costs and fees associated with such Disposition, including, without limitation,
any costs of issuance, sale, underwriting and funding reserve accounts. The
Market Value Agent's determination, in its sole judgment, of Market Value shall
be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent manifest error
(including without limitation, any error contemplated in Section 2.08).

      (c) On each Business Day the Market Value Agent shall determine in its
sole judgment, exercised in good faith, the Hedge Value of each Hedging
Instrument as of such Business Day. In making such determination the Market
Value Agent may rely exclusively on quotations provided by the Hedging
Counterparty, by leading dealers in instruments similar to such Hedging
Instrument, which leading dealers may include the Market Value Agent and its
Affiliates and such other sources of information as the Market Value Agent may
deem appropriate.

      (d) On each Business Day, the Market Value Agent shall determine in its
sole judgment, exercised in good faith, the Retained Securities Value of the
Retained Securities, if any, expected to be issued pursuant to such
Securitization as of the closing date of such Securitization. In making such
determination the Market Value Agent may rely exclusively on quotations provided
by leading dealers in instruments similar to such Retained Securities, which
leading dealers may include the Market Value Agent and its Affiliates and such
other sources of information as the Market Value Agent may deem appropriate.

                                     HEDGING

      Section 7.01 Hedging Instruments.

      (a) On each Transfer Date, the Trust shall enter into such Hedging
Instruments as the Market Value Agent, on behalf of the Majority Noteholders
shall reasonably determine are necessary, in order to hedge the interest rate
risk with respect to the Loans being purchased on such Transfer Date. The Market
Value Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether any Hedging
Instrument conforms to the requirements of Section 7.01(b), (c) and (d).

      (b) Each Hedging Instrument shall expressly provide that in the event of a
Disposition or other removal of the Loan from the Trust, such portion of the
Hedging Instrument shall terminate as the Disposition Agent deems appropriate to
facilitate the hedging of the risks specified in Section 7.01(a). In the event
that the Hedging Instrument is not otherwise terminated, it shall contain
provisions that allow the position of the Trust to be assumed by an Affiliate of
the Trust upon the liquidation of the Trust. The terms of the assignment
documentation and the credit quality of the successor to the Trust shall be
subject to the Hedging Counterparty's approval.

      (c) Any Hedging Instrument that provides for any payment obligation on the
part of the Issuer must (i) be without recourse to the assets of the Issuer,
(ii) contain a non-petition covenant provision in the form of Section 11.13,
(iii) limit payment dates thereunder to Payment Dates and (iv) contain a
provision limiting any cash payments due on any day under such Hedging
Instrument solely to funds available therefor in the Collection Account on such
day pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(3)(ii) hereof and funds available therefor in
the Transfer Obligation Account.

      (d) Each Hedging Instrument must (i) provide for the direct payment of any
amounts thereunder to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(1)(x),
(ii) contain an assignment of all of the Issuer's rights (but none of its
obligations) under such Hedging Instrument to the Indenture Trustee and shall
include an express consent to the Hedging Counterparty to such assignment, (iii)
provide that in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Hedging
Instrument shall terminate upon the direction of the Majority Noteholders, (iv)
prohibit the Hedging Counterparty from "setting-off or "netting" other
obligations of the Issuer or its Affiliates against such Hedging Counterparty's
payment obligations thereunder, (v) provide that the appropriate portion of the
Hedging Instrument will terminate upon the removal of the related Loans from the
Trust Estate and (vi) have economic terms that are fixed and not subject to
alteration after the date of assumption or execution.

      (e) If agreed to by the Majority Noteholders, the Issuer may pledge its
assets in order to secure its obligations in respect of Hedge Funding
Requirements, provided that such right shall be limited solely to Hedging
Instruments for which an Affiliate of the Initial Noteholder is a Hedging
Counterparty.

                                      -68-

      (f) The aggregate notional amount of all Hedging Instruments shall not
exceed the Note Principal Balance as of the date on which each Hedging
Instrument is entered into by the Issuer and a Hedging Counterparty.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  THE SERVICER

      Section 8.01 Indemnification, Third Party Claims.

      (a) The Servicer shall indemnify the Loan Originator, the Owner Trustee,
the Trust, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and "control persons," as such
term is used under the Act and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
amended (each a "Servicer Indemnified Party") and hold harmless each of them
against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses
resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded
upon, or resulting from, a breach of any of the Servicer's representations and
warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any way relating to
the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement except to the extent such loss
arises out of such Servicer Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct; provided, however, that if the Servicer is not liable pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8.01(b) hereof for its failure to perform its duties
and service the Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, then the
provisions of this Section 8.01 shall have no force and effect with respect to
such failure.

      (b) None of the Loan Originator, the Depositor or the Servicer or any of
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
under any liability to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or
the Securityholders 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 Loan Originator,
the Depositor, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, agents against the remedies provided herein for the breach
of any warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any
expense or liability specifically required to be borne by such party without
right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any expense or
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of the respective duties of the Servicer, the
Depositor or the Loan Originator, as the case may be. The Loan Originator, the
Depositor, the Servicer and any of their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, agents 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.

      (c) The Loan Originator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and the Noteholders, as the ultimate assignees from the Depositor
(each an "Originator Indemnified Party," together with the Servicer Indemnified
Parties, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any loss, liability,
expense, damage, claim or injury arising out of or based on (i) any breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant of the Loan Originator, the Servicer or

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

their Affiliates, in any Basic Document, including, without limitation, the
origination or prior servicing of the Loans by reason of any acts, omissions, or
alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of the Loan Originator, the
Servicer or their Affiliates, and (ii) any untrue statement by the Loan
Originator, the Servicer or its Affiliates of any material fact or any such
Person's failure to state a material fact necessary to make such statements not
misleading with respect to any such Person's statements contained in any Basic
Document, including, without limitation, any Officer's Certificate, statement,
report or other document or information prepared by any such Person and
furnished or to be furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby and not corrected prior to completion of the
relevant transaction including, without limitation, such written information as
may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence
investigation with respect to the Loans or any such Person's business,
operations or financial condition, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or
threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided that the Loan Originator shall
not indemnify an Originator Indemnified Party to the extent such loss,
liability, expense, damage or injury is due to either an Originator Indemnified
Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of an
Originator Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of its obligations hereunder;
provided, further, that the Loan Originator shall not be so required to
indemnify an Originator Indemnified Party or to otherwise be liable to an
Originator Indemnified Party for any losses in respect of the performance of the
Loans, the creditworthiness of the Borrowers under the Loans, changes in the
market value of the Loans or other similar investment risks associated with the
Loans arising from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in
Exhibit E hereto, a remedy for the breach of which is provided in Section 3.06
hereof. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be
enforceable by an Originator Indemnified Party subject to the limitations
hereof.

      (d) With respect to a claim subject to indemnity hereunder made by any
Person against an Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified
Party shall notify the related indemnifying parties (each an "Indemnifying
Party") in writing of the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after
receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim
unless the Indemnifying Parties shall have previously obtained actual knowledge
thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying
Parties, within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof,
copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the
Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. No failure to give such
notice or deliver such documents shall effect the rights to indemnity hereunder.
Each Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the
Indemnified Party (if other than the Indenture Trustee) of any claim of which it
has been notified and shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the
Indemnified Party (if applicable) of its intended course of action with respect
to any claim.

      (e) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
and consult fully with the Indemnifying Party in preparing such defense, and the
Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate,
including settling such claim or litigation after giving notice to the
Indemnifying Party of such terms and the Indemnifying Party will promptly
reimburse the Indemnified Party upon written request ; provided, however, that
the Indemnified Party may not settle any claim or litigation without the consent
of the Indemnifying

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
reject the selection of counsel by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying
Party reasonably determines that such counsel is inappropriate in light of the
nature of the claim or litigation and shall have the right to assume the defense
of such claim or litigation if the Indemnifying Party determines that the manner
of defense of such claim or litigation is unreasonable.

      Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

      The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to
do business as a foreign corporation and maintain such other licenses and
permits in each jurisdiction necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of each Basic Document to which it is a party and each of the
Loans and to perform its duties under each Basic Document to which it is a
party; provided, however, that the Servicer may merge or consolidate with any
other corporation upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the
following paragraph.

      Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, shall be an Eligible Servicer and shall be the successor of the
Servicer, as applicable 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. The Servicer shall send notice of any such
merger, conversion, consolidation or succession to the Indenture Trustee and the
issuer.

      Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

      The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer
may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes
to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 8.01
hereof, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to the Servicer's
duty to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

      Section 8.04 Servicer Not to Resign; Assignment.

      The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (a) with the consent of the Majority Noteholders or (b)
upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding
sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Independent opinion of counsel to such effect delivered (at the expense of the
Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee and the Majority Noteholders. No resignation
of the Servicer shall become effective until a successor servicer, appointed
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 hereof shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

      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

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder and any agreement,
instrument or act purporting to effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation
or appointment shall be void.

      The Servicer agrees to cooperate with any successor Servicer in effecting
the transfer of the Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 8.04, including, without
limitation, the transfer to such successor of all relevant records and documents
(including any Loan Files in the possession of the Servicer) and all amounts
received with respect to the Loans and not otherwise permitted to be retained by
the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer, at its sole
cost and expense, shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and
instruments to the successor Servicer including all Loan Files in its possession
and do or accomplish all other acts necessary or appropriate to effect such
termination and transfer of servicing responsibilities.

      Section 8.05 Relationship of Servicer to Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

      The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as
servicer under this Agreement) to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties hereto to be
that of an independent contractor and not of a joint venturer, agent or partner
of the issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 8.06 Servicer May Own Securities.

      Each of the Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer may in its
individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Securities with
the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate
thereof except as otherwise specifically provided herein; provided, however,
that at any time that Option One or any of its Affiliates is the Servicer,
neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates (other than an Affiliate which is
a corporation whose purpose is limited to holding securities and related
activities and which cannot incur recourse debt) may be a Noteholder. Securities
so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate shall have an equal and
proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Securities; provided,
however, that any Securities owned by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof,
during the time such Securities are owned by them, shall be without voting
rights for any purpose set forth in this Agreement unless the Servicer or such
Affiliate owns all outstanding Securities of the related class. The Servicer
shall notify the Indenture Trustee promptly after it or any of its Affiliates
becomes the owner or pledgee of a Security.

      Section 8.07 Indemnification of the Indenture Trustee and Initial
Noteholder.

      The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its employees,
officers, directors and agents, and reimburse its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses in accordance with Section 6.07 of the Indenture as if it was a
signatory thereto. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Initial Noteholder in
accordance with Section 9.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement as if it were
signatory thereto.

      (or, in the case of payment of insurance premiums, for a period of 15
      days) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
      the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any
      other party hereto or to the Servicer (with copy to each other party
      hereto), by Holders of 25% of the Percentage Interests of the Notes or the
      Trust Certificates; or

            (3) any breach on the part of the Servicer of any representation or
      warranty contained in any Basic Document to which it is a party that
      materially and adversely affects the interests of any of the parties
      hereto or any Securityholder and which continues unremedied for a period
      of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the
      same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any other
      party hereto or to the Servicer (with copy to each other party hereto), by
      the Initial Noteholder or Holders of 25% of the Percentage Interests (as

      proceeding against the Servicer under any present or future federal or
      state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a
      conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any
      bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
      liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation
      of its affairs, which action shall not have been dismissed for a period of
      60 days; or

            (5) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator,
      receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy,
      insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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

            (6) the Servicer (or the Loan Originator if the Servicer is not
      Option One) fails to comply with the Financial Covenants; or

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

            (7) the Servicer ceases to be a 100% indirect wholly-owned
      subsidiary of H&R Block Inc; or

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

      (b) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority
Noteholders, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever
rights such Person may have at law or in equity to damages, including injunctive
relief and specific performance, may terminate all the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds
thereof, as servicer under this Agreement. Upon receipt by the Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise, shall, subject to Section 9.02
hereof, pass to and be vested in a successor servicer, and the successor
servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but
not limited to, the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and
related documents. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor servicer
in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor servicer
for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by
the Servicer to each Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to
the Loans.

      (c) Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or Default under any of
the Basic Documents, (ii) a Servicer Event of Default under this Agreement,
(iii) a Rapid Amortization Trigger, or (iv) an event that shall materially
impair the ability of the Servicer to service and administer the Loans in
accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in the Servicing Addendum
(each, a "Term Event"), the Servicer's right to service the Loans pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be in effect for an initial period commencing
on the date on which such Term Event occurred and shall automatically terminate
at 5:00 p.m.,New York City time, on the last business day of the calendar month
in which such Term Event occurred (the "Initial Term"). Thereafter, the Initial
Term shall be extendible in the sole discretion of the Initial Noteholder by
written notice (each, a "Servicer Extension Notice") of the Noteholder for
successive one-month terms (each such term ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time ("EST"), on the last business day of the related month). Following a Term
Event, the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer shall be bound for the
duration of the Initial Term and the term covered by any such Servicer Extension
Notice to act as the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. Following a Term
Event, the Servicer agrees that if, as of 3:00 p.m. (EST) on the last business
day of any month, the Servicer shall not have received a Servicer Extension
Notice from the Initial Noteholder, the Servicer shall give written notice of
such non-receipt to the Initial Noteholder by 4:00 p.m. (EST). Following a Term
Event, the failure of the Initial Noteholder, to deliver a Servicer Extension
Notice by 5:00 p.m. (EST) shall result in the automatic and immediate
termination of the Servicer (the "Termination Date"). Notwithstanding these time

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

frames, the Servicer and the Initial Noteholder shall comply with all applicable
laws in connection with such transfer and the Servicer shall continue to service
the Loans until completion of such transfer.

      Section 9.02 Appointment of Successor.

      On and after the date the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof or is automatically terminated pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) hereof, or the Owner Trustee receives the resignation of the
Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel or accompanied by the consents
required by Section 8.04 hereof, or the Servicer is removed as servicer pursuant
to this Article IX or Section 4.01 of the Servicing Addendum, then, the Majority
Noteholders shall appoint a successor servicer to be 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 shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, provided, however, that the
successor servicer shall not be liable for any actions of any servicer prior to
it.

      The successor servicer shall be obligated to make Servicing Advances
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the successor servicer appointed pursuant
to the following paragraph, shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Loans
which the Servicer would have been entitled to receive from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof as if the Servicer had continued to act
as servicer hereunder, together with other Servicing Compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in Section 4.15
of the Servicing Addendum. The Servicer shall not be entitled to any termination
fee if it is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof but shall be entitled to
any accrued and unpaid Servicing Compensation to the date of termination.

      Any collections received by the Servicer after removal or resignation
shall be endorsed by it to the Indenture Trustee and remitted directly to the
successor servicer. The compensation of any successor servicer appointed shall
be the Servicing Fee, together with other Servicing Compensation provided for
herein. The Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, any Custodian, the Servicer and any
such successor servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement,
as shall be reasonably necessary to effect any such succession. Any costs or
expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the termination of
the Servicer and the succession of a successor servicer shall be an expense of
the outgoing Servicer and, to the extent not paid thereby, an expense of such
successor servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee
and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the
successor servicer all documents and records reasonably requested by it to
enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the successor servicer all amounts which then have been or should
have been deposited in any Trust Account maintained by the Servicer or which are
thereafter received with respect to the Loans. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the Majority Noteholders shall have the right to order the
Servicer's Loan Files and all other files of the Servicer relating to the Loans
and all other records of the Servicer and all documents relating to the Loans
which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of the Servicer or any
third party acting for the Servicer to be delivered to such custodian or
servicer as it selects and the Servicer shall deliver to such custodian or
servicer such

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

assignments as the Majority Noteholders shall request. No successor servicer
shall be. held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records
to it or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed
appointment shall have been provided to the Initial Noteholder, the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer and the Depositor, the Majority Noteholders and the Issuer
shall have consented in writing thereto.

      In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Majority
Noteholder may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
servicer out of payments on the Loans as they and such successor servicer shall
agree.

      Section 9.03 Waiver of Defaults.

      The Majority Noteholders may waive any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article IX. Upon any waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall.extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

      Section 9.04 Accounting Upon Termination of Servicer.

      Upon termination of the Servicer under this Article IX, the Servicer
shall, at its own expense:

      (a) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed, to
the Indenture Trustee the funds in any Trust Account maintained by the Servicer;

      (b) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed, to
the Custodian all Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder and a Loan portfolio computer tape;

      (c) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed, to
the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer and the Securityholders a full
accounting of all funds, including a statement showing the Monthly Payments
collected by it and a statement of monies held in trust by it for payments or
charges with respect to the Loans; and

      (d) execute and deliver such instruments and perform all acts reasonably
requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing of
the Loans to its successor and to more fully and definitively vest in such
successor all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.

Note at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to or greater than the
Termination Price. The expense of any Independent appraiser required in.
connection with the calculation and payment of the Termination Price under this
Section 10.02 shall be a nonreimbursable expense of the Servicer.

      Any such early termination by the Servicer shall be accomplished by
depositing into the Collection Account on the third Business Day prior to the

Agreement and Section 9.1 of the Trust Agreement on the next succeeding Payment
Date; and any amounts received with respect to the Loans and Foreclosure

      Section 11.15 Due Diligence Fees, Due Diligence.

      The Loan Originator acknowledges that the Initial Noteholder has the right
to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Loans, for
purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Loan Originator agrees that
upon reasonable prior notice (with no notice being required upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default) to the Loan Originator, the Initial Noteholder, the
Indenture Trustee and Custodian or its authorized representatives will be
permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and
extracts of, the Loan Files and any and all documents, records, agreements,
instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession or under the
control of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Loan Originator also
shall make available to the Initial Noteholder a knowledgeable financial or
accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Loan
Files and the Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loan
Originator acknowledges that the Initial Noteholder may purchase Notes based
solely upon the information provided by the Loan Originator to the Initial
Noteholder in the Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein, and that the Initial Noteholder, at its option, has
the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on
some or all of the Loans securing such purchase, including without limitation
ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged
Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such
Loan. The Initial Noteholder may underwrite such Loans itself or engage a
mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. The
Loan Originator agrees to cooperate with the Initial Noteholder and any third
party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not
limited to, providing the Initial Noteholder and any third party underwriter
with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or
information relating to such Loans in the possession, or under the control, of
the Servicer. The Loan Originator further agrees that the Loan Originator shall
reimburse the Initial Noteholder for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the Initial Noteholder in connection with the Initial
Noteholder's activities pursuant to this Section 11.15 hereof (the "Due
Diligence Fees"), provided that, unless an Event of Default shall occur, the
aggregate reimbursement obligation of the Loan Originator under this Agreement
shall be limited to $25,000 per annum. In addition to the obligations set forth
in Section 11.17 of this Agreement, the Initial Noteholder agrees (on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives)
to use reasonable precaution to keep confidential, in accordance with its
customary procedures for handling confidential information and in accordance
with safe and sound practices, and not to disclose to any third party, any
non-public information supplied to it

                                      -82-
<PAGE>

or otherwise obtained by it hereunder with respect to the Loan Originator or any
of its Affiliates (including, but not limited to, the Loan File); provided,
however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of any such
information to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial
process; provided, further that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable
law or court order, the Initial Noteholder shall, prior to disclosure thereof,
notify the Loan Originator of any request for disclosure of any such non-public
information. The Initial Noteholder further agrees not to use any such
non-public information for any purpose unrelated to this Agreement and that the
Initial Noteholder shall not disclose such nonpublic information to any third
party underwriter in connection with a potential Disposition without obtaining a
written agreement from such third party underwriter to comply with the
confidentiality provisions of this Section 11.15.

      Section 11.16 No Reliance.

      Each of the Loan Originator, the Depositor and the Issuer hereby
acknowledges that it has not relied on the Initial Noteholder or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents and "control persons" as such term is
used under the Act and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
for any tax, accounting, legal or other professional advice in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, that each of the Loan
Originator, the Depositor and the Issuer has retained and been advised by such
tax, accounting, legal and other professionals as it has deemed necessary in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents and that
the Initial Noteholder makes no representation or warranty, and shall have no
liability with respect to, the tax, accounting or legal treatment or
implications relating to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

      Section 11.17 Confidential Information.

      In addition to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 11.15
of the Agreement, each Noteholder, as well as the Indenture Trustee and the
Disposition Agent (each of said parties singularly referred to herein as a
"Receiving Party" and collectively referred to herein as the "Receiving
Parties"), agrees to hold and treat all Confidential Information (as defined
below) in confidence and in accordance with this Section. Such Confidential
Information will not, without the prior written consent of the Servicer and the
Loan Originator, be disclosed or used by such Receiving Parties or their
subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, members, employees, agents or
controlling persons (collectively, the "Information Recipients") other than for
the purpose of making a decision to purchase or sell Notes or taking any other
permitted action under this Agreement or any other Basic Document. Each
Receiving Party agrees to disclose Confidential Information only to its
Information Recipients who need to know it for the purpose of making a decision
to purchase or sell Notes or taking any other permitted action under this
Agreement or any other Basic Document (including in connection with the
servicing of the Loans and in connection with any servicing transfers) and who
are informed by such Receiving Party of its confidential nature and who agree to
be bound by the terms of this Section 11.17. Disclosure that is not in
violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or
other applicable law by such Receiving Party of any Confidential Information at
the request of its outside auditors or governmental regulatory authorities in
connection with an examination of a Receiving Party by any such authority shall
not constitute a

                                      -83-
<PAGE>

breach of its obligations under this Section 11.17 and shall not require the
prior consent of the Servicer and the Loan Originator.

      Each Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section
11.17 by its Information Recipients. The Initial Noteholder may use Confidential
Information for internal due diligence purposes in connection with its analysis
of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents. The Disposition Agent
may disclose Confidential Information to the Disposition Participants as
required to effect Dispositions. This Section 11.17 shall terminate upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, however, that such termination
shall not relieve the Receiving Parties or their respective Information
Recipients from the obligation to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or
other applicable law with respect to their use or disclosure of Confidential
Information following the occurrence of an Event of Default.

      As used herein, "Confidential Information" means non-public personal
information (as defined in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its enabling
regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission) regarding Borrowers.
Confidential Information shall not include information which (i) is or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a
Receiving Party or any Information Recipients; (ii) was available to a Receiving
Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Receiving
Party by the Servicer or the Loan Originator; (iii) is required to be disclosed
by a governmental authority or related governmental agencies or as otherwise
required by law; (iv) becomes available to a Receiving Party on a
non-confidential basis from a Person other than the Servicer or the Loan
Originator who, to the best knowledge of such Receiving Party, is not otherwise
bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Servicer or the Loan Originator
and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such
Receiving Party.

      Section 11.18 Conflicts.

      Notwithstanding anything contained in the Basic Documents to the contrary,
in the event of the conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other
Basic Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

      Section 11.19 Limitation on Liability.

Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not

on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations,
undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended

be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust Company, individually
or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained
herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto
and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under
no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the
payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligation,

                                      -84-
<PAGE>

representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this
Agreement or any other related documents.

      Section 11.20 No Agency.

      Nothing contained herein or in the Basic Documents shall be construed to
create an agency or fiduciary relationship between the Initial Noteholder or the
Majority Noteholders or any of their Affiliates and the Issuer, the Depositor,
the Loan Originator or the Servicer. None of the Initial Noteholder, the
Majority Noteholders or any of their Affiliates shall be liable for any acts or

                                    EXHIBIT E

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE LOANS

      The Loan Originator hereby represents and warrants to the other parties to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Securityholders, with respect to each
such Loan as of the related Transfer Date (except as otherwise expressly agreed
in writing by the Majority Noteholders):

            1) The information set forth in the related Loan Schedule and the
information contained on the electronic data file delivered to the Initial
Noteholder is complete, true and correct;

            2) All payments required to be made up to the close of business on
the Closing Date for such Loan under the terms of the Promissory Note have been
made; the Loan Originator has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the
related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Promissory Note or Mortgage; and there has been no
delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Borrower
thereunder during the last twelve months;

            3) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer
rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

            4) The terms of the Promissory 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, and which have been delivered to the
Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the
title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on
the related Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification
has been executed, and no Borrower has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under
the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required
by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the
Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Loan Schedule;

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

            6) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or 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 conforming to the
requirements of the Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a
standard mortgagee clause naming the Loan Originator, its successors and assigns

                                      E-1

<PAGE>

as mortgagee and all premiums 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 or Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Borrower thereunder to
maintain all such insurance at the Borrower's cost and expense, and on the
Borrower's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at Borrower's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Borrower;

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

            8) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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;

            9) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien (or,
with respect to Loans identified as Second Lien Loan on the Loan Schedule,
second lien) on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the
Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current 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 Loan and which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) 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 Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing
and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property
described therein and the Loan Originator has full right to sell and assign the
same to the Depositor and the Issuer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the
date of origination of the Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien
of the Mortgage;

            10) The Promissory 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;

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

            12) The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the
account of the Borrower and there is no obligation for the mortgagee to advance
additional funds thereunder

                                      E-2

<PAGE>

and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Borrower is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Loan Originator
pursuant to the Promissory Note or Mortgage;

            13) The Loan Originator is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable
owner of the Promissory Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and
sell the Loan to the Depositor and the Issuer free and clear of any encumbrance,
equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

            14) All parties which have had any interest in the 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;

            15) The Loan is covered by a lender's title insurance policy (which,
in the case of an ARM has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement) commercially
acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions, issued by a title insurer
licensed and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (ix)(a)
and (b) above) the Loan Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan and,
with respect to any ARM, 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 Loan Interest 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 Loan Originator is the
sole 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, and the issuer will be insured thereunder, 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 Loan 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 Promissory 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
Loan Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;

            17) 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
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines

                                      E-3

<PAGE>

of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property;

            19) The Loan was originated by the Loan Originator or by a savings
and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking
institution 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 Loan commenced no more than two months
after the proceeds of the Loan were disbursed. The Loan bears interest at the
Loan Interest Rate. With respect to each Loan unless otherwise stated on the
Loan Schedule, the Promissory Note is payable on the first day of each month,
in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of each fixed-rate Loan except for
Balloon Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Loan Interest
Rate, and, in the case of each ARM, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in
any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Loan Interest Rate.
The Promissory Note does not permit negative amortization. No Loan is a
Convertible Mortgage Loan;

            21) The origination and collection practices used by the Loan
Originator with respect to each Promissory Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and
servicing industry. The Loan has been serviced by the Loan Originator and any
predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Promissory 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 Loan 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 Loan Originator have been capitalized under
any Mortgage or the related Promissory Note and no such escrow deposits or
Escrow Payments are being held by the Loan Originator for any work on a
Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

            22) The Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste and
there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

            23) The Mortgage and related Promissory 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. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Borrower has not filed
for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Borrower which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage. The Borrower has not notified the Loan Originator and the Loan
Originator has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Borrower
under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940;

                                      E-4

<PAGE>

            24) The Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting
standards of the Loan Originator in effect at the time the Loan was originated;
and the Promissory Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to prudent mortgage
lending institutions in the secondary market;

            25) The Promissory 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 (x) above;

            26) The Loan File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property which satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and was made
and signed, prior to the approval of the Loan application, by a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Loan 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 Loan
and who met the minimum qualifications of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Each
appraisal of the 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 Issuer to the trustee under the deed
of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Borrower;

            28) No Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by the Loan Originator, the Borrower, or anyone on behalf of the
Borrower, (b) paid by any source other than the Borrower or (c) contains any
other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Loan is
not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

            29) The Borrower has executed a statement to the effect that the
Borrower has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with
respect to the making of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of fixed-rate
Loans, and adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of ARMs and rescission
materials with respect to Refinanced Loans, and such statement is and will
remain in the Loan File;

            30) No Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or
rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

            31) The Loan Originator has no knowledge of any circumstances or
condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or
the Borrower's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Loan
to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Loan to become delinquent, or
adversely affect the value of the Loan;

            32) Each Loan listed on the Loan Schedule as being subject to a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is and will be subject to a Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of
the Loan in excess of the portion of the

                                      E-5

<PAGE>

Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by Fannie Mae. All
provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates the Borrower thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Loan Interest Rate for the
Loan does not include any such insurance premium;

            33) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable
law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued
with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;

            34) No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or
similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of any
person, including without limitation the Borrower, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Loan;

            35) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;

            36) Any principal advances made to the Borrower prior to the
Transfer Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal
amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as
consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien
of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured
as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount
does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan;

            37) Except as set forth on the Loan Schedule, no Loan has a balloon
payment feature;

            38) If the residential dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de
minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project meets the eligibility requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

            39) Interest on each Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

            40) The Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all
applicable environmental laws pertaining to environmental hazards including,
without limitation, asbestos, and neither the Loan Originator nor, to the Loan
Originator's knowledge, the related Borrower has received any notice of any
violation or potential violation of such law;

            41) No Loan is in violation of the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994;

                                      E-6

<PAGE>

            42) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) or any successor provision thereof of Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended;

            43) The Issuer has caused or will cause to be performed any and all
acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of Noteholders in any
insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or
interests therein, and establishments of coinsured, joint loss payee and
mortgagee rights in favor of Noteholders;

            44) The origination date is no earlier than four (4) months prior to
the date the Mortgage Loan is initially purchased by the Trust,

            45) No Borrower is offered or required to purchase single premium
credit insurance in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, and

            46) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all
material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but
not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.

                                      E-7

                               SERVICING ADDENDUM

      Section 4.01 Duties of the Servicer.

      The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Loans in accordance with this Agreement and shall have full power
and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem
necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

      The duties of the Servicer shall include collecting and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Borrowers or by federal, state or local
government authorities with respect to the Loans, investigating delinquencies,
reporting tax information to Borrowers in accordance with its customary
practices and accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual
statements to the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Noteholder, with respect to
distributions, making Servicing Advances pursuant hereto. The Servicer shall
follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties
as Servicer. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and
furnish to the Indenture Trustee with reasonable promptness information in its
possession as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Indenture Trustee to
perform its tax reporting duties hereunder, if any.

      The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Indenture Trustee and the
Initial Noteholder of any Proceeding, of which the Servicer has actual
knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust or (ii) assert jurisdiction
over the Trust.

      In the event of a Disposition or other removal of a Loan from the Trust
Estate, the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated with
respect to such Loan.

      The Servicer agrees that in the event that any Notes are outstanding after
the applicable Maturity Date and the Majority Noteholders may appoint a
successor servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02. The
Majority Noteholders may, by written notice to the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee, elect to have the Servicer continue its duties hereunder after such
Maturity Date.

      Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Borrower
if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Issuer
or the Noteholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Loan that would change the Loan Interest Rate,
defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments,
reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of
principal), make additional advances of additional principal or extend the final
maturity date on such Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute
and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Issuer, all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. If

                                      F-1

<PAGE>

reasonably required by the Servicer, the Issuer shall furnish the Servicer with
any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement.

      In servicing and administering the Loans, the Servicer shall employ
procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans
for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing
practices of prudent lending institutions and the Issuer's and the Noteholders'
reliance on the Servicer.

      Section 4.02 Collection of Loan Payments.

      Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all
Loans are paid in full, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all
payments due under each Loan when the same shall become due and payable and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to
the Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer shall take special
care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums,
and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and
payable to the end that the installments payable by the Borrowers will be
sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

      Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

      (a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the
procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account,
to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such
Mortgaged Properties 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 4.01. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize
upon Defaulted Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal
and interest by the Issuer, taking into account, among other things, the timing
of foreclosure proceedings; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not sell
any Defaulted Loan unless it has been directed to do so by the Majority
Noteholder. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in
which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in
excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Loan to the
Issuer after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such
expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Mortgage Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property. In the event that
any payment due under any Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable, or in the event the Borrower fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace
period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best
interest of the Issuer and the Noteholders. The Servicer shall notify the
Issuer and the Noteholders in writing of the commencement of foreclosure
proceedings. In such connection, the Servicer shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged
Property.

                                      F-2

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, with
respect to any 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 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 Issuer 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 prudent 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 Issuer and the Noteholders 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 Issuer and the
            Noteholders to take such actions with respect to the affected
            Mortgaged Property.

      The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
4.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 5.01(c).

      If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best
economic interest of the Issuer and the Noteholders 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 Issuer and the Noteholders. 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 5.01(c).

      (c) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each Defaulted Loan,
when it has recovered, whether through trustee's sale, foreclosure sale or
otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on account of such
defaulted Loan, whereupon such Loan shall become a "Liquidated Loan" and shall
promptly deliver to the Initial Noteholder a related liquidation report with
respect to such Liquidated Loan.

      Section 4.04 Establishment of Escrow Accounts, Deposits in Escrow
                   Accounts.

                                      F-3

<PAGE>

      The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more Escrow Accounts, in accordance with the related Mortgage and applicable
law.

      The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two
(2) Business Days after receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment
of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all
Mortgage Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair
of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only
to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other
purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.06. The
Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the
Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed
funds required by law to be paid to the Borrower and, to the extent required by
law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Borrower
notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest
paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

      Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

      Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to
effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard
insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and
comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made
by the Servicer with respect to a related Loan but only from amounts received on
the related Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Borrower any funds as may be determined to be
overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the
terns of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Borrower to the
extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination
of this Agreement.

      Section 4.06 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges, Maintenance
                   of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

      With respect to each Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance
coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such
charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof
prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate
for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of
the Borrower in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and
accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that
any such insurance premium payments are made by the Borrower at the time they
first become due and any such tax payments are made in time to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property in a tax sale. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
prior to the termination of any such insurance coverage or loss of any such
Mortgaged Property in a tax

                                      F-4

<PAGE>

sale irrespective of the Borrower's faithful performance in the payment of same
or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds
to effect such payments.

      The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Insurance
Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Loan for which such
coverage is required. Such coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value
Ratio of the related Loan is reduced to that amount for which Fannie Mae no
longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Servicer will not cancel or
refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy, if any, in effect on the Closing
Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a
replacement Primary Insurance Policy, if any, for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer
shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any
applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of
the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any
assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant
to Section 4.12, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the
related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of
liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions
which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of
coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any. If such Primary Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of
liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as
provided above.

      In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Noteholders, claims
to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policy respecting a defaulted Loan. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited
in the Collection Account.

      Section 4.07 Transfer of Accounts.

      The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to
a different depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be
made only upon obtaining the consent of the Initial Noteholder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any case, the Collection
Account and the Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.

      Section 4.08 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

      The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the Loan or
(ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in each case in an amount
not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Borrower and/or the
Issuer from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by
the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such
flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to. be
maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan

                                      F-5

<PAGE>

or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended. The Servicer also shall maintain on any Foreclosure Property, fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements which
are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
related Loan at the time it became a Foreclosure Property, liability insurance
and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood
insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be
deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or Foreclosure Property, or released to the Borrower in
accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited
in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.01. Any
cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to the Issuer or the Noteholders, be
added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the
Borrower or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Loan, other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall
be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer,
or upon the direction of the Initial Noteholder to the Indenture Trustee, and
shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Servicer. The
Servicer shall not interfere with the Borrower's freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless
such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of B:III or better in
Best's Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the
property subject to the policy is located.

      Section 4.09 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

      In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a mortgage
impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of B:III
insuring against hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the
Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to
the amount required pursuant to Section 4.08 and otherwise complies with all
other requirements of Section 4.08, the Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.08, 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 Foreclosure Property a policy complying with
Section 4.08, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
In connection with its activities as servicer of the Loans, the Servicer agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of the Issuer and the Noteholders, claims
under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such policy. Upon request of the Initial Noteholder, the Servicer shall
cause to be delivered to the Noteholders a certified true copy of such policy
and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event
be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to
the Issuer and the Noteholders.

                                      F-6

<PAGE>

      Section 4.10 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

      The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons
acting in any capacity with regard to the Loans to handle funds, money,
documents and papers relating to the Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond
and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery,
theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such
persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against
losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies
required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Loan
without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No
provision of this Section 4.10 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such
bond and insurance policy 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' and Servicers' Guide. Upon request of the Initial
Noteholder, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Noteholders a
certified true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement
from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy
shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days'
prior written notice to the Initial Noteholder.

      Section 4.11 Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosure Property.

      In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the person designated by the Issuer, or in the
event such person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property
in the state where the Foreclosure Property is located, or would be adversely
affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding
title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person
or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the
Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the
Foreclosure Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other
than the Issuer shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as
nominee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders.

      The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosure Property (and
may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves,
protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the
same manner that similar property in the same locality as the Foreclosure
Property is managed. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to
the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any Foreclosure Property are
held, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosure
Property in a manner which does not cause such Foreclosure 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 such REMIC 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" within the meaning of Section
860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Servicer shall cause each Foreclosure Property to
be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each
Foreclosure Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Servicer
shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such
reports shall be

                                      F-7

<PAGE>

retained in the Loan File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer
to the Issuer. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the
Foreclosure Property as soon as possible. The Servicer shall report monthly to
the Issuer and the Noteholders as to the progress being made in selling such
Foreclosure Property, and if, with the written consent of the Initial
Noteholder, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale,
such purchase money mortgage shall name the Servicer as mortgagee, and a
separate servicing agreement between the Servicer and the Issuer shall be
entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under
which the Loans and the Foreclosure Property are held, such Foreclosure Property
shall be disposed of within three years after the end of the tax year in which
such property becomes Foreclosure Property or such other period as may be
permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

      The final sale by the Servicer of any Foreclosure Property ("REO
Disposition") shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Issuer and the Noteholders only with the prior written consent of the Initial
Noteholder. If as of the date title to any Foreclosure Property was acquired by
the Issuer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect
to the Foreclosure Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such
Foreclosure Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection
with such REO Disposition. The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the REO Disposition
shall be deposited in the Collection Account promptly following receipt thereof
for distribution on the succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.01.

      Section 4.12 Assumption Agreements.

      The Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or
prospective conveyance by any Borrower of the Mortgaged Property (whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Borrower
remains or is to remain liable under the Promissory Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Loan under any
"due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the
exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under
the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and shall not be required to
exercise such rights if the transferee of the Mortgaged Property would qualify
for an assumption or substitution under the Servicer's underwriting guidelines.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement
with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed
to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
Promissory Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the
Borrower remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this
Section 4.12, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the insurer under
the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Borrower
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Borrower and
becomes liable under the related Promissory Note. Any such substitution of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

      In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the
Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent
mortgage lenders in the state in which the

                                      F-8

<PAGE>

related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or
substitution of liability, Loan Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly
Payment, and the final maturity date of such Promissory Note may not be changed.
The Servicer shall notify the Issuer and the Noteholders that any such
substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed and shall
forward to the Custodian the original of any such substitution of liability or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Loan File and
shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Loan File to the same
extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any
fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement shall be deemed additional Servicing Compensation.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 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 Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For
purposes of this Section 4.12, the term "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 4.13 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Loan Files.

      Upon the payment in full of any Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Issuer and the Initial
Noteholder by a certification of a servicing officer of the Servicer (a
"Servicing Officer"), 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 5.01 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of
any document necessary to satisfy the Loan and delivery to it of the portion of
the Loan File held by Custodian. Upon receipt of a Request for Release and
Receipt, the Custodian shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to
the Servicer in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and the Servicer shall
prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account or the Issuer.

      In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should
it otherwise prejudice any right the Issuer or the Noteholders may have under
the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit to the
Issuer the then outstanding principal balance of the related Loan by deposit
thereof in the Collection Account. The Servicer shall maintain the fidelity bond
insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Loan
not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

      From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
the Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance
Policy, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the
Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the
requested portion of the Loan File held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such
servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the related Mortgage
documents to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated and the

Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Loan 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 to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to
the name and address of the Person to which such Loan File or such document was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was liquidated, the
servicing receipt shall be released by the Custodian to the Servicer.

      Section 4.14 Advances by the Servicer.

      (a) Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding
each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an
amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or
not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Transfer
Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Transfer
Cutoff Date, at the Loan Interest Rate net of the Servicing Fee, which were due
on a Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Remittance
Date; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to deposit such
amount if the amount on deposit in the Collection Account on that Remittance
Date (exclusive of any Monthly Advance required to be effective pursuant to this
Section 4.14) is at least sufficient to fund in full the items described in
Sections 5.01(c)(3)(i) through 5.01(c)(3)(v) hereof on the related Payment Date,
and, if the amount on deposit in the Collection Account is less than the sum of
such items, the Servicer shall only be required to deposit an amount equal to
the shortfall. The obligation of the Servicer to make such Monthly Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with
respect to any Loan or Foreclosure Property, shall continue until a Final
Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made
hereunder by the Servicer if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance, shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

      (b) The Servicer will pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
the performance of its servicing obligations including, but not limited to, the
cost of (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings,
including foreclosures, (iii) inspection fees and expenses and (iv) the
management and liquidation of Foreclosure Property but is only required to pay
such costs and expenses to the extent the Servicer reasonably believes such
costs and expenses will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Loan.
Each such amount so paid will constitute a "Servicing Advance." The Servicer may
recover Servicing Advances (x) from the Borrowers to the extent permitted by the
Loans, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of the related
Loan and (y) as provided in Sections 5.01(c)(1)(ii) or 5.01(c)(3)(i) hereof. In
no case may the Servicer recover Servicing Advances from principal and interest
payments on any Loan or from any amounts relating to any other Loan except as
provided pursuant to Sections 5.01(c)(1)(ii) or 5.01(c)(3)(i) hereof.

Section 5.01(c), be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to
retain from interest payments on the Loans the amounts provided for as the
Servicer's Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, non-sufficient fund fees, modification fees, substitution fees
and other ancillary income, as provided in Section 4.12, and late payment
charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not
required to be deposited in the Collection Account. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided for.

      Section 4.16 Notification of Adjustments.

      On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments
for each ARM in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and
Promissory Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by
each Mortgage and Promissory Note regarding interest rate adjustments. The
Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Noteholders of all
applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the
Servicer's methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Servicer or the any Noteholder that the Servicer has failed to
adjust a Loan Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the
related Promissory Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in
the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused
thereby without reimbursement therefor.

      Section 4.17 Statement as to Compliance.

      The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Initial Noteholder not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year

Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 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 year, or,

specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof.

      Section 4.18 Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

      Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the
Servicer, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public
accountants (which may also render other services to the Servicer) which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Noteholder to the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the
servicing of the Loans under this Agreement and that, on the basis of such
examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm confirms that such servicing
has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements
except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion
of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers
requires it to report.

applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices

such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

      Section 4.21 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

      If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under
which the Loans and Foreclosure Property are held, the Servicer shall not take
any action, cause the REMIC 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (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) unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any
such tax.

      Section 4.22 Subservicing Agreements Between Servicer and Subservicers.

      The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and
administration of Loans with any institution which is in compliance with the
laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such
Subservicing Agreement and is an Eligible Servicer. The Servicer shall give
notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Noteholder of the appointment of
any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of the Servicer and shall furnish to
the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Noteholder a copy of the Subservicing
Agreement (along with any modifications thereto) between the Servicer and any
Subservicer that is not an Affiliate of the Servicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Loans when
any Subservicer has received such payments. Any such Subservicing Agreement
shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement.

      Section 4.23 Successor Subservicers.

                                      F-12

the Subservicer is an Affiliate of the Servicer), the Servicer shall be entitled
to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and to either itself directly service
the related Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor
Subservicer which qualifies under Section 4.22.

      Section 4.24 Liability of Servicer.

      The Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement
notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a
Subservicer or otherwise, and the Servicer shall be obligated to the same extent
and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Subservicer and nothing contained in such Subservicing Agreement shall be deemed
to limit or modify this Agreement. The Trust shall not indemnify the Servicer
for any losses due to the Servicer's negligence.

      Section 4.25 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Indenture
                   Trustee or the Securityholders.

      Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating
to the Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Servicer alone and no party hereto nor the Securityholders
shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in
Section 4.26.

      Section 4.26 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreement by
                   Successor Servicer.

      In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer hereunder by
a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, it is understood and agreed that
the Servicer's rights and obligations under any Subservicing Agreement then in
force between the servicer and a Subservicer may be assumed or terminated by the
successor Servicer at its option without the payment of any fee (notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any Subservicing Agreement).

      The Servicer shall, upon request of the successor Servicer, but at the
expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming parry documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected
and held by it and otherwise use its best reasonable efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming
party, without the payment of any fee by the successor Servicer, notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any Subservicing Agreement.
