                  This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective
as of March 1, 2004, among ACE SECURITIES CORP. as Depositor, OCWEN FEDERAL BANK
FSB as a Servicer, WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. as Master Servicer and Securities
Administrator and HSBC BANK USA as Trustee.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

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

                                     REMIC I

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund) as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will
be designated as "REMIC I". The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of
"residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined
herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I
Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, solely for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible
maturity date" for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein).
None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

error, be final and binding.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially
and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of
the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller and the
related Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the
Seller deliver such missing document, cure such defect or breach within 60 days
from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or
breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90

recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as

cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section

or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.

                  In addition, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by Ocwen
or receipt of notice by Ocwen of the breach of the representation or covenant of
the Seller set forth in Section 5(xiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class
P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, Ocwen shall promptly notify the Seller
and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the
Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy such breach to the
extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller,
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are
required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, together with
an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter,
review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the related
Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, an
initial certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the related Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
REMIC I and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such
Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution,
and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or
cause to be given

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place,
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the related Servicer. Upon
such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall
constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

                  In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

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

                                      -63-

<PAGE>

hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

                  (d) With respect to a breach of the representations made
pursuant to Section 5(xiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that
materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Seller shall be required to take the
actions set forth in this Section 2.03.

                  (e) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by Ocwen or
receipt of notice by Ocwen of the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of Ocwen set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or
Prepayment Charge, Ocwen shall cure such breach in all material respects.

<PAGE>

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

                  (viii) Ocwen has fully furnished and will continue to fully
         furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
         implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,

right of reimbursement, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P

breach. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any
payments made by Ocwen in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to
this paragraph shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive the
resignation or termination of the parties hereto, the termination of this
Agreement and the delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian and shall
inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any
such Person or Ocwen of a breach of any of the foregoing representations,
warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any
Ocwen Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee. Subject to Section 8.01, unless such breach shall not be
susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of Ocwen set forth in Section
2.03(e) to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against Ocwen
available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations, warranties
and covenants contained in this Section 2.05.

                                            Interest.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery to the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Loan
Documents, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 hereof and
Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement, together with the assignment to it of all
other assets included in REMIC I, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
The interests evidenced by the Class R-I Interest, together with the REMIC I

<PAGE>
Regular Interests, respectively, and all ownership interests evidenced or
constituted by the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests, shall
be as set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.07.             Conveyance of the REMIC I
                                            Regular Interests; Acceptance of
                                            REMIC I by the Trustee.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the REMIC I Regular Interests for the benefit of the Class R-II Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests). The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds
and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present
and future Holders of the Class R-II Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the
REMIC I Regular Interests). The rights of the Holder of the Class R-II Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests) to receive
distributions from the proceeds of REMIC II in respect of the Class R-II
Interest and REMIC II Regular Interests, respectively, and all ownership
interests evidenced or constituted by the Class R-II Interest and the REMIC II
Regular Interests, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. The Class R-II
Interest and the REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC II.

                  SECTION 2.08.             Issuance of Class R Certificates.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC I
Regular Interests and, concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, pursuant
to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator has executed and authenticated and the Trustee has
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in
authorized denominations. The Class R Certificates evidence ownership in the
Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest.

                  SECTION 2.09.             Establishment of the Trust.

                  The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust to be known, for convenience, as "ACE Securities Corp., Home Equity Loan
Trust, Series 2004-HE1" and does hereby appoint HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                      OF THE OCWEN MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS

                  SECTION 3.01.             Ocwen to Act as a Servicer.

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

                  (i) any relationship that Ocwen or any Affiliate of Ocwen may
         have with the related Mortgagor;

                  (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by Ocwen or any
         Affiliate of the Servicer;

                  (iii) Ocwen's obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing
         Advances; or

                  (iv) Ocwen's right to receive compensation for its services
         hereunder.

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, Ocwen shall also
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes related to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and shall waive (or
permit a Sub-Servicers to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans and such waiver is related to a default or reasonably foreseeable
default and would, in the reasonable judgement of Ocwen, maximize recovery of
total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the
related Ocwen Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a
refinancing of the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (ii) such Prepayment Charge is
unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of such
related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event
the Prepayment Charge payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note related to an
Ocwen Mortgage Loan is less than the amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth
in the Prepayment Charge Schedule or other information provided to Ocwen, Ocwen
shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to such difference, and
in addition shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any
uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the
direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Prepayment Charge
Schedule.

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards (the
"Accepted Servicing Practices") and the terms of this Agreement and of the
respective Ocwen Mortgage Loans, Ocwen shall have full power and authority, to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with

                                      -69-

<PAGE>

such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ocwen in its own name is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when Ocwen believes it
appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, and upon written
notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or of partial or full release or discharge or subordination, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. Ocwen
shall service and administer the Ocwen Mortgage Loans in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports
required to be provided to them thereby. Ocwen shall also comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.14, the
Trustee shall execute, at the written request of Ocwen, and furnish to Ocwen any
special or limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable Ocwen to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder and furnished to the Trustee by Ocwen, and the Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of Ocwen under such powers of attorney and shall be
indemnified by Ocwen for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee
in connection with Ocwen's use or misuse of any such power of attorney.

                  In accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Ocwen shall
make or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties
related to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, which Servicing Advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the related
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.09;
provided, however, Ocwen shall only make such Servicing Advance if the related
Mortgagor has not made such payment and if the failure to make such Servicing
Advance would result in the loss of the related Mortgaged Property due to a tax
sale or foreclosure as result of a tax lien. Any cost incurred by Ocwen in
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property related
to an Ocwen Mortgage Loan shall not, for the purpose of calculating the Stated
Principal Balance of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan or distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Ocwen Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan
so permit.

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Ocwen may not make any future advances with respect to an Ocwen Mortgage Loan
and Ocwen shall not permit any modification with respect to any related Ocwen
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such related Ocwen Mortgage Loan
(unless, as provided in Section 3.06, the related Mortgagor is in default with
respect to the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment
of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.

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

                  Ocwen may arrange for the subservicing of any Ocwen Mortgage
Loan by a Sub- Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that
such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Ocwen Mortgage Loans in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie
Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between Ocwen or a Sub-Servicer or reference to
actions taken through Ocwen or otherwise, Ocwen shall remain obligated and
liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if Ocwen alone were servicing and administering the
Ocwen Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by Ocwen shall
contain a provision giving the successor Servicer the option to terminate such
agreement in the event a successor Servicer is appointed. All actions of each
Sub-Servicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be
performed as an agent of Ocwen with the same force and effect as if performed
directly by Ocwen.

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

                  SECTION 3.03.             Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that Ocwen shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly
service the related Ocwen Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement
with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be
immediately terminated by any successor to Ocwen (which may be the Trustee or
the Master Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in the event that Ocwen (or any successor to Ocwen) shall, for any
reason, no longer be the Servicer of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).

                  SECTION 3.04.             No Contractual Relationship Between
                                            Sub-Servicer, Trustee
                                            or the Certificateholders.

                  Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or
services relating to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be
deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and Ocwen alone and the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed

                                      -71-

parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.05.

                  SECTION 3.05.             Assumption or Termination of Sub-
                                            Servicing Agreement by Successor
                                            Servicer.

                  In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of Ocwen hereunder
by a successor Servicer (which may be the Trustee or the Master Servicer)
pursuant to Section 8.02, it is understood and agreed that the Ocwen's rights
and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between Ocwen
and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor Servicer
without act or deed on the part of such successor Servicer; provided, however,
that any successor Servicer may terminate the Sub- Servicer.

                  Ocwen shall, upon the reasonable request of the Master
Servicer, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and
records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming
party.

                  The Servicing Fee payable to any such successor Servicer shall
be payable from payments received on the Ocwen Mortgage Loans in the amount and
in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.06.             Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan
                                            Payments.

                  Ocwen shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
Accepted Servicing Practices, follow such collection procedures as it would
follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, Ocwen may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest
or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note
related to an Ocwen Mortgage Loan for a period of not greater than 180 days;
provided that any extension pursuant to this clause shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Ocwen Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Ocwen Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of Ocwen, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, Ocwen, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the
related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in Ocwen's determination such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders
(taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such
action).

                  SECTION 3.07.             Collection of Taxes, Assessments and
                                            Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

                  To the extent the terms of a Mortgage related to an Ocwen
Mortgage Loan provide for Escrow Payments, Ocwen shall establish and maintain
one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all collections from
the related Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub- Servicers) for the payment
of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be
deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Ocwen
shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later
than the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow
Payments collected on account of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of
effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of
this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only
to (i) effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard
insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse itself out of related
collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.11 (with respect to fire, flood
and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined
to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the
Servicing Account at the termination of Ocwen's obligations and responsibilities
in respect of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with
Article X. As part of its servicing duties, Ocwen shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ocwen shall not be
obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan does not
require such payments but Ocwen shall nevertheless be obligated to make
Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 3.11. In the event
Ocwen shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing
Accounts, any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  To the extent that a Mortgage related to an Ocwen Mortgage
Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, Ocwen (i) shall determine whether any
such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is
necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance
required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement
is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and Ocwen receives notice
of a tax lien with respect to the Ocwen Mortgage Loan being imposed, Ocwen
shall, promptly and to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged
Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien
on the Mortgaged Property unless Ocwen determines the advance to be
nonrecoverable. Ocwen assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such
bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the
Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments
subject to its determination of recoverability.

                  SECTION 3.08.             Collection Account and Distribution
                                            Account.

                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, Ocwen shall establish and
maintain one or more Collection Accounts, held in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, Ocwen shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the related Collection Account on a daily
basis and in no event later than two Business Days after receipt, as and when
received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it on or subsequent to the Cut-off Date other
than amounts attributable to a Due Date on or prior to the Cut-off Date:

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

                           (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the
                  related Servicing Fee and any Prepayment Interest Excess) on
                  each Ocwen Mortgage Loan;

                           (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds
                  (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular
                  REO Property) and all Subsequent Recoveries;

                           (iv) any amounts required to be deposited by Ocwen
                  pursuant to Section 3.10 in connection with any losses
                  realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held
                  in the Collection Account;

                           (v) any amounts required to be deposited by Ocwen
                  pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.11(a) in respect
                  of any blanket policy deductibles;

                           (vi) any Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall
                  Amount delivered to Ocwen and all proceeds (net of amounts
                  payable or reimbursable to Ocwen, the Master Servicer, the
                  Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator) of
                  Ocwen Mortgage Loans purchased in accordance with Section
                  2.03, Section 3.13 or Section 10.01; and

                           (vii) any Prepayment Charges collected by Ocwen in
                  connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Ocwen
                  Mortgage Loans or amounts required to be deposited by Ocwen in
                  connection with a breach of its obligations under Section
                  2.05.

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges, assumption fees or other similar fees need not be deposited by Ocwen in
the Collection Account and may be retained by Ocwen as additional compensation.
In the event Ocwen shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator
shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust
Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, Ocwen shall
deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 noon New York time on the
Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount
(calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of the definition
thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the
related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account and the
amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by Ocwen in connection with the
Principal Prepayment of any of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the
Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advance
Financing Person pursuant to Section 3.25 of this Agreement. If the balance on
deposit in a Collection Account exceeds $100,000 as of the commencement of
business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitute an Eligible
Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account,"
Ocwen shall, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw
from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable
to the Depositor, Ocwen, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Seller pursuant to Section 3.09(a) and shall pay such
amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  With respect to any remittance received by the Securities
Administrator on or after the first Business Day following the Business Day on
which such payment was due, the Securities Administrator shall send written
notice thereof to the related Servicer. Ocwen shall pay to the Securities
Administrator interest on any such late payment by Ocwen at an annual rate equal
to Prime Rate (as defined in the Wall Street Journal) plus one percentage point,
but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
Such interest shall be paid by Ocwen to the Securities Administrator on the date
such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day
following such first Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such
payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by Ocwen of any such interest, or
the failure of the Securities Administrator to notify Ocwen of such interest,
shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of
Default by Ocwen.

                  (d) Funds in the Collection Account maintained by Ocwen and
funds in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.10. Ocwen shall give
notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer of
the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and
prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall give notice to
the Servicers and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.

                  (e) Funds held in the Collection Account maintained by Ocwen
at any time may be delivered by Ocwen in immediately available funds to the
Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event
Ocwen shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall the Securities Administrator
incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the
direction of Ocwen in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In

                                      -75-

addition, Ocwen shall deliver to the Securities Administrator no later than the
Servicer Remittance Date the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv)

                  5.03;

                           (ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
                  Section 3.21(d) or 3.21(f) in connection with any REO Property
                  related to an Ocwen Mortgage Loan;

                           (iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a
                  purchase of Ocwen Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant
                  to Section 10.01; and

                           (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
                  Section 3.22 in connection with any Prepayment Interest
                  Shortfalls with respect to an Ocwen Mortgage Loan.

                  SECTION 3.09.             Withdrawals from the Collection
                                            Account and Distribution Account.

                           (a) Ocwen shall, from time to time, make withdrawals

                  remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.08(d);

                           (ii) subject to Section 3.13(d), to reimburse itself
                  (including any successor Servicer) for P&I Advances made by
                  it, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent
                  Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
                  Monthly Payments on related Ocwen Mortgage Loans with respect
                  to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the
                  provisions of Section 5.03;

                           (iii) subject to Section 3.13(d), to pay itself any

                  Proceeds received with respect to such related Ocwen Mortgage
                  Loan;

                           (iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (in

                  any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in
                  the related Collection Account;

                           (v) to pay itself or the Seller, as the case may be,

                  in the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount;

                           (vi) to reimburse itself (including any successor
                  Servicer) for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously
                  made by it which it has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I
                  Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance
                  with the provisions of Section 5.03;

                           (viii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the
                  case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of

above.

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

                           (i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in
                  accordance with Section 5.01;

                           (ii) to pay to itself, the Custodian, the Master
                  Servicer and the Trustee amounts to which it is entitled
                  pursuant to Section 9.05 or any other provision of this
                  Agreement and any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

                           (iii) to reimburse itself or the Master Servicer
                  pursuant to Section 8.02;

                           (v) to pay to an Advance Financing Person
                  reimbursements for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
                  pursuant to Section 3.25;

                           (vi) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant
                  to Section 11.01(g)(v);

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

                           (vii) to pay the Master Servicing Fee to the Master
                  Servicer;

                           (viii) to pay the Credit Risk Management Fee to the
                  Credit Risk Manager; and

                           (ix) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account
                  pursuant to Section 10.01.

                  SECTION 3.10.             Investment of Funds in the
                                            Investment Accounts.

                           (a) Ocwen may direct, by means of written directions
(which may be standing directions), any depository institution maintaining the
related Collection Account to invest the funds in such Collection Account (for
purposes of this Section 3.10, an "Investment Account") in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable
on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator is the obligor
thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities
Administrator is the obligor on such Permitted Investment. Amounts in the
Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments as directed in
writing by the Master Servicer and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii)
no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the
obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds shall be made in the name of
the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the
Trustee. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over
each such investment in the Distribution Account and, subject to subsection (b)
below, the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator
or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title
to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account maintained by Ocwen are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party with investment
discretion over such Investment Account shall:

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

                           (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder
                  promptly upon receipt by such party of written notice from
                  Ocwen that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a
                  Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
                  in the Investment Account.

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

                           (b) All income and gain realized from the investment
of funds deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of Ocwen,
shall be for the benefit of Ocwen and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.09. Ocwen shall deposit in the Collection Account
maintained by Ocwen the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss. All earnings and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall remit from its own funds for deposit
into the Distribution Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in the Distribution Account.

                           (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any
Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required
under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 9.01 and
Section 9.02(a)(v), shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, take such
action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including
the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

                           (d) The Trustee, the Master Servicer or their
respective Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that
could be deemed to be in the Trustee's or the Master Servicer's economic
self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder
servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the
Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain
Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted
Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is
reimbursable or payable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09 or 3.10 or otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expenses. Such additional compensation shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund.

                  SECTION 3.11.             Maintenance of Hazard Insurance,
                                            Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
                                            Coverage and Primary Mortgage
                                            Insurance.

                  (a) The terms of each Mortgage Note require the related
Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent
such policies are not maintained, Ocwen shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgaged Property that is related to an Ocwen Mortgage 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 the
current principal balance of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary
to compensate fully for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part
of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Ocwen shall also cause
to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property 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) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property. Ocwen will comply in the performance of this Agreement
with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard
policies. Any amounts to be collected by Ocwen under any such policies (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the
related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09, if
received in respect of an Ocwen Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.21, if received in respect of an REO Property.
Any cost incurred by Ocwen in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid principal balance of the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and
agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the
Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, Ocwen will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in
respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Ocwen Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

                  In the event that Ocwen shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best's
Key Rating Guide or otherwise acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively
be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to cause fire and hazard insurance
to be maintained on the Mortgaged Properties, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case Ocwen shall, in
the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.11, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the related Collection Account from its own
funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, Ocwen agrees to prepare and present, on behalf
of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under
any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.

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

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

                  (c) Ocwen shall not take any action that would result in
noncoverage under any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of Ocwen would have been covered thereunder. Ocwen
shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect any applicable primary
mortgage insurance policy and, to the extent that the related Ocwen Mortgage
Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, any other primary
mortgage insurance applicable to any Ocwen Mortgage Loan. Except as required by
applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan Documents, Ocwen shall not cancel or
refuse to renew any such primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at
the date of the initial issuance of the related Mortgage Note and is required to
be kept in force hereunder.

                  Ocwen agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders claims to the applicable insurer under any other primary
mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance
policies respecting defaulted Ocwen Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.08,
any amounts collected by Ocwen under any primary mortgage insurance policies
shall be deposited in the related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.09.

                  SECTION 3.12.             Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses;
                                            Assumption Agreements.

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

                                      -81-
<PAGE>

substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement,
which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, Ocwen shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of an
Ocwen Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or
any assumption which Ocwen may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.12, 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 3.13.             Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage
                                            Loans.

                  (a) Ocwen shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of properties securing such of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans as come into
and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.06. Ocwen shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by Ocwen as contemplated in Sections 3.09 and 3.21. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, Ocwen shall not be required to
expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such expenses.

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

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

                                      -82-
<PAGE>

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

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.13 shall be advanced by Ocwen, subject to Ocwen's right to be
reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in Section
3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Ocwen Mortgage Loans.

                  If Ocwen determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary
to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
Ocwen shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of
the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by Ocwen, subject to Ocwen's right to be
reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in Sections
3.09(a)(iii) or 3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection
Account received in respect of the affected Ocwen Mortgage Loan or other Ocwen
Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) Ocwen shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any
defaulted Ocwen Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which Ocwen
determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to Ocwen and the Trustee, prior to
purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any
Ocwen Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the related
Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from
Ocwen of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to Ocwen the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or
warranty, as Ocwen shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in Ocwen
title to any Ocwen Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Ocwen Mortgage
Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse
Ocwen for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant
to Section 3.09(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on
the Ocwen Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to
the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third,
as a recovery of principal of the Ocwen Mortgage Loan. If the

                                      -83-
<PAGE>

amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of
accrued and unpaid interest due on such Ocwen Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by Ocwen as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to Ocwen
pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to
interest (net of unpaid Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery
allocated to principal of the Ocwen Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows:
first, to reimburse Ocwen for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance
with Section 3.09(a)(ii) and any other amounts reimbursable to Ocwen pursuant to
Section 3.09, and second, as part of the amounts to be transferred to the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(b).

                  SECTION 3.14.             Trustee to Cooperate; Release of
                                            Mortgage Files.

                  (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, or the receipt by the related Servicer of a notification that payment in
full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the related Servicer will
promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a
request for release substantially in the form attached to the Custodial
Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to
be deposited in the related Collection Account have been or will be so
deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
deliver to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within
five (5) Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer
and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard
to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the related Servicer is
authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the related Collection
Account.

                  (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall execute such documents as
shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the related Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of
any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the
request of the Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer), release within five (5) Business Days the
related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer. Such
trust receipt shall obligate the related Servicer to return the Mortgage File to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the related
Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which
case, upon

                                      -84-
<PAGE>

receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove
specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, to the Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Principal
Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may request release
of the related Mortgage File from the Custodian, in accordance with the
provisions of the Custodial Agreement, in the event the related Servicer fails
to do so.

                  Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer, any court pleadings, requests
for trustee's sale or other documents prepared and delivered to the Trustee and
reasonably acceptable to it and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale
in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale. So long as no Servicing Termination Event shall have occurred
and be continuing, the related Servicer shall have the right to execute any and
all such court pleadings, requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for,
and on behalf of the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.15.             Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of Ocwen, hereunder, Ocwen
shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Ocwen Mortgage Loan
payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Ocwen Mortgage Loan,
subject to Section 3.22. In addition, Ocwen shall be entitled to recover unpaid
Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.09(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation
and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.21. The right
to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of Ocwen's responsibilities under this
Agreement to the extent permitted herein.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges and other miscellaneous fees (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by Ocwen only to the extent such fees or charges are
received by Ocwen. Ocwen shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iv)
to withdraw from the related Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.21(b)
to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest
or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.10. In
addition, Ocwen shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the related
Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(x), any Prepayment Interest
Excess with respect to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans as additional servicing
compensation. Ocwen 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 herein.

                  SECTION 3.16.             Collection Account Statements.

                                      -85-
<PAGE>

                  Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date,
Ocwen shall forward to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee and the Depositor a statement prepared by the institution at which the
related Collection Account is maintained setting forth the status of the related
Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the related Collection Account of each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.08(a) and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.09. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Securities Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified
to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by Ocwen to the Securities Administrator.

                  SECTION 3.17.             Statement as to Compliance.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, Ocwen shall deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
an Officers' Certificate (upon which the Master Servicer can conclusively rely
in connection with its obligations under Section 5.06) stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of Ocwen during the
preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on
such review, Ocwen has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by Ocwen to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.18.             Independent Public Accountants'
                                            Servicing Report.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2005, Ocwen, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to Ocwen a report stating
that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters
from the management of Ocwen which includes an assertion that Ocwen has complied
with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified
in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of
residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year
and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance
with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, such representation is fairly stated and such firm has determined
that Ocwen has complied in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and
other qualifications that may be appropriate. Immediately upon receipt of such
report, Ocwen shall furnish a copy of such report to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at Ocwen's expense, provided
that such statement is delivered by Ocwen to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.19              Annual Certification.

                                      -86-
<PAGE>

                  (a) Ocwen shall deliver to the Master Servicer, on or before
March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2005 (or, if any such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) or such alternative date
reasonably specified by the Master Servicer which shall occur not earlier than
15 days prior to the date any Form 10-K is required to be filed with the
Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Such certification shall
be signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of Ocwen. In addition,
Ocwen shall provide such other information with respect to the Ocwen Mortgage
Loans and the servicing and administration thereof within the control of Ocwen
which shall be required to enable the Master Servicer to comply with the
reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof.

                  (b) Ocwen shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and their
respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach by Ocwen or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates
of its obligations under this Section 3.19 or Ocwen's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith. Such indemnity shall survive the
termination or resignation of the parties hereto or the termination of this
Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee and the Depositor, then Ocwen agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee and the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
and the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the
Depositor on the one hand and Ocwen on the other in connection with a breach of
Ocwen's obligations under this Section 3.19.

                  SECTION 3.20.             Access to Certain Documentation.

                  Ocwen shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority
that may exercise authority over any Certificate Owner, access to the
documentation regarding the Ocwen Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of Ocwen
designated by it. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall limit the obligation of
Ocwen to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of Ocwen to provide access as provided
in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall require Ocwen to collect,
create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate
in its usual course of business. Ocwen shall not be required to make copies of
or ship documents to any Person unless provisions have been made for the
reimbursement of the costs thereof.

                  SECTION 3.21.             Title, Management and Disposition of
                                            REO Property.

                                      -87-
<PAGE>

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

                  (b) Ocwen shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO
Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. Ocwen shall be permitted to allow
the related Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate
ledgers for each REO Property. Ocwen shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

                  (c) Ocwen shall have full power and authority, subject only to
the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in
which Ocwen manages and operates similar property owned by it or any of its
Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as Ocwen deems to be in the
best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, Ocwen shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the REO Account all
revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw
therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance
of such REO Property including, without limitation:

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

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

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

                  To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, Ocwen shall
advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such

                                      -88-
<PAGE>

purposes if, but only if, Ocwen would make such advances if Ocwen owned the REO
Property and if in Ocwen's judgment, the payment of such amounts will be
recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

                  Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Ocwen, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.21(c) relating
         to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve Ocwen of any of its duties and
         obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the
         benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and
         management of any such REO Property; and

                                      -89-
<PAGE>

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

                  Ocwen shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of Ocwen by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. Ocwen shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether Ocwen's compensation
pursuant to Section 3.15 is sufficient to pay such fees. Any such agreement
shall include a provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by
the Trustee (as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer (including
the Master Servicer) without fee, in the event Ocwen shall for any reason, no
longer be the Servicer of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans (including termination due to
a Servicer Event of Default).

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.21(c), Ocwen may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for
any REO Property: (i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Ocwen Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer
for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Ocwen Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date,
Ocwen shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii), for distribution on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01, the income from
the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any
withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.21(c) or this Section 3.21(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.21(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by Ocwen at such price and
upon such terms and conditions as Ocwen shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall be normal and usual in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Ocwen Mortgage
Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to Ocwen as provided above, shall
be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii)
on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC
Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).

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

                  SECTION 3.22.             Obligations of Ocwen in Respect of
                                            Prepayment Interest Shortfalls;
                                            Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  Ocwen shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 noon New York time on
the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the aggregate amount of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to
prepayments in full on the Ocwen Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution
Date resulting solely from voluntary Principal Prepayments received by Ocwen
during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate amount of the
related Servicing Fees payable to Ocwen on such Distribution Date with respect
to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans. Ocwen shall not have the right to reimbursement for
any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of this Section
3.22. Ocwen shall not be obligated to pay the amounts set forth in this Section
3.22 with respect to shortfalls resulting from the application of the Relief
Act.

                  SECTION 3.23.             Obligations of Ocwen in Respect of
                                            Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Ocwen Mortgage Loan results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by Ocwen in a manner not consistent with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, Ocwen, upon discovery or
receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the
amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, the
Depositor and any successor Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such
indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.23 shall not limit the ability of
Ocwen to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

                  SECTION 3.24.             Reserve Fund.

                  (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Securities
Administrator shall establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account
entitled, "Reserve Fund, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the registered
holders of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2004-HE1, Asset
Backed Pass-Through Certificates." On the Closing Date, the Depositor will
deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund $1,000. In addition,
the amount deposited in the Reserve Fund shall be increased by any payments
received by the Securities Administrator under the Cap Contract relating to the
Group I Mortgage Loans and deposited into Reserve Fund for the benefit of the
Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Mezzanine Certificates and the
Class B Certificates and under the Cap Contract relating to the Group II
Mortgage Loans and deposited in the Reserve Fund for the benefit of the Class
A-2 Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates.

                  (b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section
5.01(a)(7)(xxiv), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders, and Section 5.01(a)(7)(xxv). On each such Distribution

                                      -91-
<PAGE>

Date, the Securities Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the
Class B Certificates and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the
Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates,
in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a). If no Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall deposit, into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the Class CE
Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class CE
Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on
deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to
$1,000.

                  (c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all
amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein
of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of
the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the
payment in full of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the
Class B Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will
be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders
or their designees. The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part
of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the
Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC
within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  (d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees that the Securities Administrator will deposit
into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees
that its agreement to such action by the Securities Administrator is given for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged by such acceptance.

                  (e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest
the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities
Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. All income and
gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no
event shall the Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made
pursuant to this clause (e). If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest
in the Class CE Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on
deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities
Administrator without liability for interest or compensation.

                  (f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the
right of the Class A Certificateholders, the Mezzanine Certificateholders and
Class B Certificateholders to receive

                                      -92-
<PAGE>

payments from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
shall be assigned a value of zero.

                  SECTION 3.25.             Advance Facility.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(i) Ocwen is hereby authorized to enter into an advance facility ("Advance
Facility") but no more than two Advance Facilities without the prior written
consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, under
which (A) Ocwen sells, assigns or pledges to an advancing person (an "Advance
Financing Person") Ocwen's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (B) an Advance Financing Person agrees
to finance some or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by
Ocwen pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Ocwen is hereby authorized to assign
its rights to the Servicing Fee (which rights shall terminate upon the
resignation, termination or removal of Ocwen pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement); it being understood that neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto
shall have a right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset)
to any amounts for reimbursement of P&I Advances or Servicing Advances so
assigned or to the portion of the Servicing Fee so assigned. Subject to the
provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.25(a), no consent of the
Depositor, Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before
Ocwen may enter into an Advance Facility, but Ocwen shall provide notice to the
Depositor, Master Servicer and the Trustee of the existence of any such Advance
Facility promptly upon the consummation thereof stating (a) the identity of the
Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of any Person ("Servicer's
Assignee") who has the right to receive amounts in reimbursement of previously
unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence
of any Advance Facility under which an advancing person agrees to finance P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances on Ocwen's behalf, Ocwen shall remain
obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances
pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such
obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.

                  (b) Reimbursement amounts shall consist solely of amounts in
respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Ocwen
Mortgage Loans for which Ocwen would be permitted to reimburse itself in
accordance with this Agreement, assuming Ocwen had made the related P&I
Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).

                  (c) Ocwen shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer
(with, upon request, a copy to the Trustee) a detailed accounting on a
loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and
reimbursed to any advancing person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to
rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the
successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

                  (d) Reimbursement amounts distributed with respect to each
Ocwen Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed P&I Advances
or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Ocwen
Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first out" (FIFO) basis. The documentation
establishing any Advance Facility shall require Ocwen to provide to the related
advancing person or its designee loan-by-loan information with respect to each
such reimbursement amount distributed to such advancing person or Advance
Facility trustee on each Distribution Date,

                                      -93-
<PAGE>

to enable the advancing person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each Ocwen Mortgage
Loan. Ocwen shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the advancing person or
Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by
Ocwen to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been
sold, assigned or pledged to an advancing person.

                  (e) Any amendment to this Section 3.25 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.25,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor, and Ocwen without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
provided, that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel that such
amendment is authorized hereunder and has no material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund; provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the
Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency
(instead of obtaining an Opinion of Counsel to such effect) stating that the
amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective
ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that
any such rating letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to
the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as
to the credit issues affecting any such rating. Prior to entering into an
Advance Facility, Ocwen shall notify the lender under such facility in writing
that: (a) the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged
to the lender are obligations owed to Ocwen on a non-recourse basis payable only
from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement
of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein,
and neither the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee nor
the Trust are otherwise obligated or liable to repay any P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances financed by the lender; (b) Ocwen will be responsible for
remitting to the lender the applicable amounts collected by it as Servicing Fees
and as reimbursement for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the
lender, as applicable, subject to the restrictions and priorities created in
this Agreement; and (c) neither the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility to calculate any
amount payable under an Advance Facility or to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between Ocwen and the lender or the
payment of any amount under an Advance Facility.

                  (f) Ocwen shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Fund for any cost, liability or expense
relating to the Advance Facility including, without limitation, a claim, pending
or threatened, by an Advance Financing Person.

                  SECTION 3.26.             Ocwen Indemnification.

                  Ocwen agrees to indemnify the Trustee, Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator, from, and hold the Trustee, Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by any such Person
by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross

                                      -94-
<PAGE>

negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of
Ocwen's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and
the resignation or removal of Ocwen, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by Ocwen to any such Person
shall be from Ocwen's own funds, without reimbursement from REMIC I therefor.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                       ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING
                  OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER

                  SECTION 4.01.             Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the WFHM Servicing Agreement and
shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and
administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices.
Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicers as
necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations
hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other
data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers and shall cause the
Servicers to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be
performed or observed by the Servicers under this Agreement and the WFHM
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall independently and
separately monitor each Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each
related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such
information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate
corrective adjustments to the Servicer's and Master Servicer's records, and
based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements
specified in Section 5.03 and any other information and statements required to
be provided by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall
reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual
remittances of the related Servicer to the Distribution Account pursuant to the
terms hereof based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the
Servicer.

                  The Trustee shall furnish each Servicer and the Master
Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form as
provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable each Servicer and the Master
Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer
or the related Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall
be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable,
for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with
such Person's misuse of any such power of attorney.

                  The Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator
shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the
Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator regarding the related
Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and
during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodian or the
Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by
law, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator shall be
required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision
thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee,
the Custodian and the Securities Administrator shall allow representatives of
the above entities to photocopy any of the records and

                                      -96-
<PAGE>

documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee's, the Custodian's or the Securities Administrator's actual
costs.

                  The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer
or the Master Servicer upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or
trustee's sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any
other Mortgage Loan Document; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the
Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage
Note or any other Mortgage Loan Document or otherwise available at law or
equity.

                  SECTION 4.02              REMIC-Related Covenants.

                  For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as
a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any
directions of the Seller, the Servicers or the Master Servicer to assure such
continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit
the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of
deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC
Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with
respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements or
Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any
REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a Opinion of Counsel stating that
such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in
Section 11.01(f).

                  SECTION 4.03              Monitoring of Servicers.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under this Agreement or the WFHM
Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicer's activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the related Servicer with
regard to the related Servicer's compliance with the terms of this Agreement or
the WFHM Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its
judgment, determines that the related Servicer should be terminated in
accordance with the terms hereof or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, or that a
notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute an Event of Default
by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Servicer, the
Seller and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice
or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

                  (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under
this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the
related Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this
Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, as applicable, subject to this
Section and Article VIII, cause the Trustee to terminate the rights and
obligations of the related Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions
of Article VIII or in accordance with the WFHM Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in
such form and

                                      -97-
<PAGE>

carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its
good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to
prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master
Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in
pursuing such action.

         With respect to the WFHM Servicing Agreement, upon termination of WFHM
as servicer pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Master Servicer will
either assume the obligations of WFHM as Servicer thereunder, including, without
limitation, WFHM's obligations to make P&I Advances thereunder, or appoint a
Person that satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth in the WFHM Servicing
Agreement as the successor to WFHM; provided, however, that if the Master
Servicer is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer shall not
be obligated to make such P&I Advances; and provided further that (1) it is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be
fully transferred to the Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed in
accordance with this Section and (2) any failure of the Master Servicer to
perform such duties or responsibilities caused by WFHM's failure to provide
information required to effect the servicing transfer shall not be considered a
default by the Master Servicer as successor to WFHM.

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
the related Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if
the related Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all
reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of
servicing from the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the
Master Servicer, from the related Servicer immediately preceding the Master
Servicer), including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third
party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as
may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies
in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses.

                  (d) The Master Servicer shall require the each Servicer to
comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this
Agreement and the WFHM Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

                  (e) If the Master Servicer acts as successor to a Servicer, it
will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the
terminated Servicer.

                  SECTION 4.04              Fidelity Bond.

                  The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons
acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.

                  SECTION 4.05              Power to Act; Procedures.

                  The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article XI, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under Section 4.03, shall not permit the related Servicer to) knowingly or
intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as
a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but
not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion
of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not would cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II, as the case may be. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon
written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney prepared
and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it by empowering the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to
foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal,
prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the
Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such other documents prepared and delivered to it and
reasonably acceptable to it, as the Master Servicer or the related Servicer may
request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or
the related Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the
related Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by
the Trustee in connection with such Person's use or misuse of any such power of
attorney). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is
likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.10. In the performance of
its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and
shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of
the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

                  SECTION 4.06              Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                            Agreements.

<PAGE>

                  To the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale
clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to enforce such clauses
in accordance with this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement. If applicable
law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is
otherwise not enforced in accordance with this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing
Agreement and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original
Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement or
the WFHM Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 4.07              Reserved.

                  SECTION 4.08              Documents, Records and Funds in
                                            Possession of Master Servicer To Be
                                            Held for Trustee.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or
Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof to be
delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer
in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master
Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in
the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall, and, subject to Section
3.20, shall cause the related Servicer to, provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.

                  (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or
under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans,
whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be remitted to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account.

                  SECTION 4.09              Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood
                                            Insurance Policies.

                  For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligation of the related Servicer under this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing
Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty
insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement. It is understood
and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 3.11 and that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on
property acquired in respect of a defaulted 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.

                  SECTION 4.10              Presentment of Claims and Collection
                                            of Proceeds.

                  The Master Servicer shall enforce each Servicer's obligations
under this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to, prepare
and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under
the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation,
settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be
necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the
Master Servicer in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be
promptly remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account upon
receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair
or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the
presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any
applicable insurance policy need not be so or remitted.

                  SECTION 4.11              Maintenance of Primary Mortgage
                                            Insurance Policies.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit either Servicer to
take (to the extent such action is prohibited by this Agreement or the WFHM
Servicing Agreement), any action that would result in noncoverage under any
primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The
Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the related
Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan
requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance
applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall not, and
shall not permit the related Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any primary
mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance
of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing
Agreement.

         (b) The Master Servicer agrees to cause the related Servicer to
present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the
insurer under any primary mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to
take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any
primary mortgage insurance policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  SECTION 4.12              Trustee to Retain Possession of
                                            Certain Insurance Policies and
                                            Documents.

                  The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall retain
possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any primary
mortgage insurance policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the
related Servicer have otherwise fulfilled their respective obligations under
this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian
shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the WFHM
Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, upon
the execution or receipt thereof the

                                     -101-

originals of any primary mortgage insurance policies, any certificates of
renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute Mortgage Loan
Documents that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time.

                                            Loans.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to
foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of

continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with this Agreement or the

                                            Servicer.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and
the income from investment of or earnings on the funds from time to time in the

payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be

                  (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO
Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to
sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement. Further, the
Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to sell any REO Property prior
to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by REMIC I
unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied by the related Servicer with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in
section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust
Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions
contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the related Servicer shall have
applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of
such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
extension period. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to
protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required
by this Agreement or the WFHM Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net income from
foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of
such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer
has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and

Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year,
or, if there has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of
any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default

                  (b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the
Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies

its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies
and the Seller on or before March 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2005
to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such
firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master
Servicer's performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and
pooling and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this
Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for
Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such
firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been conducted
in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no
material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such
statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac
requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the
expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies (unless

                                     -103-
<PAGE>

(i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such
statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's failure
to provide such statement). If such report discloses exceptions that are
material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions
have been or are susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

                  SECTION 4.18              UCC.

                  The Depositor agrees to file continuation statements for any
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements which the Seller has informed the

Depositor shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by
any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.

                  SECTION 4.19              Obligation of the Master Servicer in
                                            Respect of Prepayment Interest
                                            Shortfalls.

                  In the event of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, the Master
Servicer shall deposit into the Distribution Account not later than the related
Distribution Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts
required to be paid by the Servicers with respect to Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls attributable to Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans
for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the Servicers and (ii) the
aggregate amount of the related Master Servicing Fees for such Distribution

                  SECTION 4.21              Prepayment Penalty Verification.

                  On or prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, Ocwen shall
provide in an electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer and it the
data necessary for the Master Servicer to perform its verification duties set
forth in this Section 4.21. The Master Servicer or a third party reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor (the "Verification Agent")
will perform such verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its
findings in a report (the "Verification Report") delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related
Distribution Date; provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable
to issue the Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the
Distribution Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its
verification duties. The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report
to the Servicers and shall notify the related Servicer if the Master Servicer
has determined that such Servicer did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment
Charge to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement. Such
written notification from the Master Servicer shall include the loan number,
prepayment penalty code and prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the
Master Servicer or the Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Mortgage Loan
for which there is a discrepancy. If Ocwen agrees with the verified amounts,
Ocwen shall adjust the immediately succeeding Servicer Report and the amount
remitted to the Trustee with respect to prepayments accordingly. If Ocwen
disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, Ocwen shall, within
five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify the
Master Servicer of such

                                     -104-
<PAGE>

disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed information to
support its position. Ocwen and the Master Servicer shall cooperate to resolve
any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance
Date, and Ocwen will indicate the effect of such resolution on the related
Servicer Report and shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments
on such Servicer Remittance Date accordingly.

                  During such time as Ocwen and the Master Servicer are
resolving discrepancies with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in
respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer
shall not be obligated to deposit such payments, unless otherwise required
pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master
Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the
Servicers in accordance with this Section. The Master Servicer shall not be
responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to it
by the Servicers.

         (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
         Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess
         is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least

Certificates a notice to the effect that:

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

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

                  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Securities Administrator and credited to the
account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates
as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(f) shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time
specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of
non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the
funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of
the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final
notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Securities Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and
all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall
thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) on the final
Distribution Date for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section
5.01(f). Any such amounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be
held uninvested in an Eligible Account.

                  SECTION 5.03              Servicer Reports; P&I Advances.

                  (a) On or before 12:00 noon New York time on the 18th calendar
day of each month, Ocwen shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as Ocwen,
the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to
time) a remittance report containing such information with respect to the Ocwen
Mortgage Loans and the related Distribution Date as is reasonably available to
Ocwen as the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator may reasonably
require so as to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans
and oversee the servicing by Ocwen and the Securities Administrator to fulfill
its obligations hereunder with respect to securities and tax reporting.

                  (b) The amount of P&I Advances to be made by Ocwen on any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 5.03(d), (i) the aggregate
amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fees), due during the
related Due Period in respect of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans, which Monthly
Payments were delinquent as of the close of business on the related
Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property serviced by Ocwen,
which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period
and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the
related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess,

                                     -125-
<PAGE>

if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently
ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property deposited in
the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.21 for distribution on such
Distribution Date; provided, however, Ocwen shall not be required to make P&I
Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls, or with respect to
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess of its obligations under Section 3.22.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon
Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly
payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original
principal amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

                  By 12:00 noon New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
Ocwen shall remit in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans for
the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
related Collection Account, to the extent of any Amounts Held For Future
Distribution on deposit therein (in which case it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the related Collection Account that Amounts
Held For Future Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 5.03, used
by Ocwen in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be
made by Ocwen with respect to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans. In addition, Ocwen shall
have the right to reimburse itself for any outstanding P&I Advance made from its
own funds from Amounts Held for Future Distribution. Any Amounts Held For Future
Distribution used by Ocwen to make P&I Advances or to reimburse itself for
outstanding P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in Ocwen's records and
replaced by Ocwen by deposit in the related Collection Account no later than the
close of business on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the Due
Period or Prepayment Period for which such amounts relate. The Securities
Administrator will notify Ocwen and the Master Servicer by the close of business
on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount
remitted by Ocwen to the Securities Administrator on such date is less than the
P&I Advances required to be made by Ocwen for the related Distribution Date.

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

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by Ocwen if
such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively.
The determination by Ocwen that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a
certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Master Servicer.

                  (e) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Article VIII, in the event either Servicer fails to make any required P&I
Advance, then the Master Servicer (in its capacity as

                                     -126-
<PAGE>

successor servicer) or any other successor Servicer shall be required to make
such P&I Advance on the Distribution Date on which such Servicer was required to
make such Advance, subject to its determination of recoverability.

                  SECTION 5.04              Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a) Prior to the Determination Date, Ocwen shall determine as
to each Ocwen Mortgage Loan and REO Property and include in the monthly
remittance report provided to the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator such information as is reasonably available to Ocwen as the Master
Servicer or the Securities Administrator may reasonably require so as to enable
the Master Servicer to master service the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and oversee the
servicing by Ocwen and the Securities Administrator to fulfill its obligations
hereunder with respect to securities and tax reporting, which shall include, but
not be limited to: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; and (ii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses
allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination
Date, Ocwen shall also determine as to each Ocwen Mortgage Loan: (i) the total
amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient
Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions
in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period.

                  (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any
REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to Section 5.04(c) on the Mortgage Loans shall
be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as
follows: first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class CE
Certificates; third, to the Class B Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-6
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; fifth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-4 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
seventh, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and ninth,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate
Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated
after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All
references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by
any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates,
on such Distribution Date.

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
or Class B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the
amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(7)(xxiii). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or Class P
Certificates.

                                     -127-
<PAGE>

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

                  (c)(i) The REMIC I Marker Percentage of all Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee, based solely on the
instructions of the Securities Administrator, on each Distribution Date to the
following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:
first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA
and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC
I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to
the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Principal
Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTB and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTB
has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to
zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ,
98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 has been reduced to
zero.

                  (ii) The REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
I Regular Interest ending with the designation "B" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation "A,"
so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is
equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any

                                     -128-
<PAGE>

such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular
Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTXX.

                  (iii) In addition, in the event that the related Servicer
receives any Subsequent Recoveries, if, after taking into account such
Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of
such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment
priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the
amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04. The amount of any remaining
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04. Holders of such Certificates will
not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs.

                  SECTION 5.05              Compliance with Withholding
                                            Requirements.

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

                                            Exchange Commission.

                  The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the
initial current report on Form 8-K. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date,
the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, file
with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System
("EDGAR"), a Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to be furnished to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
January 30, 2005, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with
industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust
Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 20, 2005 and (ii) unless and until a
Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 20th of each
year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator
with a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual
independent accountant's servicing report and annual statement of compliance of
the related Servicer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to
the WFHM Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and, if applicable, the annual
independent accountant's servicing report and annual statement of compliance to
be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.16 and 4.17. Prior to
(i) March 31, 2005 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Securities

                                     -129-

Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry
standards, with respect to the Trust. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master
Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants to the
Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each
such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue
until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the
Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this
Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The
Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other
than those specified in this Section 5.06; provided, however, the Securities
Administrator will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any
additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems
necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection
with this Section 5.06 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 6.01              The Certificates.

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

                  The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

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

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

                                     -131-
<PAGE>

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

                  (c) The Class B Certificates initially offered and sold in
offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of
a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form (each, a
"Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate"), which shall be deposited with the
Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee
of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of
Euroclear or Clearstream. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided,
however, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in a Definitive
Certificate in accordance with the requirements described in Section 6.02. After
the expiration of the Release Date, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in the
related permanent global certificate of the same Class (each, a "Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificate"), in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 6.02. Each Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate shall be deposited
with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee
of the Depository.

                  The Class B Certificates offered and sold to Qualified
Institutional Buyers ("QIBs") in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act
("Rule 144A") or institutional investors that are accredited investors within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act ("Institutional Accredited Investors") will be issued in the form
of Definitive Certificates.

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

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the
Securities Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related
Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged
for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable in an amount less than
$10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be
issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such
Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the
Depositor, Ocwen, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 6.02              Registration of Transfer and
                                            Exchange of Certificates.

                  (a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at one
of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.11, a Certificate Register for the
Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class B Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective registration
or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of a Class B Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class
P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule
144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from

                                     -133-
<PAGE>

the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B-1; (ii) if such transfer is purportedly being made in
reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B-2; (iii) if such transfer is purportedly being made in
reliance on Regulation S, a written certification from the prospective
transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and (iv) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or Ocwen), together with copies of the written certification(s) of
the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. Neither of the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator is
obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any
other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such
Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  A holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate must provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be,
with a certificate in the form of Annex A to Exhibit B-1 hereto certifying that
the beneficial owner of the interest in such Global Certificate is not a U.S.
Person (as defined in Regulation S), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case
may be, must provide to the Trustee and Securities Administrator a certificate
in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto prior to (i) the payment of interest or
principal with respect to such holder's beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate and (ii) any exchange of such beneficial interest
for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate.

                  (c) No transfer of a Class B Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless (i) in the case of the Class CE, Class P or
Residual Certificates, the Securities Administrator is provided with an Opinion
of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and each Servicer may rely, which establishes to the
satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that the purchase of such
Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result
in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will
not subject the Depositor, Ocwen, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability
(including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code)
in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Depositor, Ocwen, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund or (ii) in the case of
the Class B Certificates, the Transferee represents and warrants, or is deemed
to represent and warrant, that (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of
funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein

                                     -134-
<PAGE>

is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. An Opinion of Counsel will not be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such affiliate is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the
request of the Securities Administrator, shall be a written representation) from
the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

                  Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to
have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-84 or FAN
97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE
2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg.
54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it understands that there
are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or
its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds
used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an "insurance
company general account" (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set
forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

                  If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the conditions described in this Section 6.02(c), the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported
beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of
any certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions
described in this Section 6.02(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trustee, Ocwen, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or
expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

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

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

                                    (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer
                           of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
                           the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall
                           not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
                           until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a
                           "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form
                           attached hereto as Exhibit B-3) from the proposed
                           Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
                           Securities Administrator, representing and
                           warranting, among other things, that such Transferee
                           is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring
                           its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
                           that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a
                           nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not
                           a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
                           retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
                           Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
                           Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions
                           of this Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
                           them.

                                    (C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a
                           Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
                           Transferee under clause (B) above, if an authorized
                           officer of the Securities Administrator who is
                           assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge
                           that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
                           Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
                           Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee
                           shall be effected.

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

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

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

                           (iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a
                  Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
                  provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last preceding
                  Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
                  permitted by law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive
                  to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
                  Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be
                  under no liability to any Person for any registration of
                  Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
                  permitted by this Section 6.02(d) or for making any payments
                  due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking
                  any other action with respect to such holder under the
                  provisions of this Agreement.

                                    (B) If any purported Transferee shall become
                           a holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of
                           the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the
                           extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights
                           of the holder of such Residual Certificate as
                           described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid,
                           illegal or unenforceable, then the Securities
                           Administrator shall have the right, without notice to
                           the holder or any prior holder of such Residual
                           Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a
                           purchaser selected by the Securities Administrator on
                           such terms as the Securities Administrator may
                           choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
                           endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in
                           accordance with the instructions of the Securities
                           Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Securities
                           Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the
                           Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale,
                           net of the commissions (which may include commissions
                           payable to the Securities Administrator or its
                           Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
                           remitted by the Securities Administrator to such
                           purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any
                           sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
                           in the sole discretion of the Securities
                           Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall
                           not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
                           Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its
                           exercise of such discretion.

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

                           (v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth
                  prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or
                  eliminated, provided that there shall have been

                                     -137-
<PAGE>

                  delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of
                  the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such
                  provision the following:

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

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

                  (e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11,
the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  (f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities
Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities
Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

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

                  SECTION 6.03              Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
                                            Certificates.

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

                  SECTION 6.04              Persons Deemed Owners.

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

                  SECTION 6.05              Certain Available Information.

                  On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to an Independent third
party, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator ten copies of
any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the
Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such Certificate. In
addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is
revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Securities
Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Securities Administrator
ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as
revised, amended or supplemented. The Securities Administrator shall maintain at
its office as set forth in Section 12.05 hereof and shall make available free of
charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate or
any Person identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in
the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a Class CE Certificate, Class
P Certificate or Residual Certificate, the related private placement memorandum
or other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form
most recently provided to the Securities Administrator; and (ii) in all cases,
(A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section
11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders
of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all
other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement

since the Closing Date and (C) any copies of all officers' certificates of the
Servicers since the Closing Date delivered to the Master Servicer to evidence
such Person's determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from
the Securities Administrator upon request at the expense of the Person
requesting the same.

                  THE DEPOSITOR, OCWEN AND THE MASTER SERVICER

                  SECTION 7.01              Liability of the Depositor, Ocwen
                                            and the Master Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 7.02              Merger or Consolidation of the
                                            Depositor, Ocwen or the Master
                                            Servicer.

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

                  The Depositor, Ocwen or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor, Ocwen or the Master Servicer shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, Ocwen or the
Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, Ocwen or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that any successor of
Ocwen or the Master Servicer shall meet the eligibility requirements set forth
in clauses (i) and (iii) of the last paragraph of Section 8.02(a) or Section
7.06, as applicable.

                  SECTION 7.03              Limitation on Liability of the
                                            Depositor, Ocwen, the Master
                                            Servicer and Others.

                  None of the Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Depositor, Ocwen or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any such
person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made
herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such Person pursuant
hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of

                                     -141-
<PAGE>

willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The
Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to
this Agreement, the Certificates or any Credit Risk Management Agreement or any
loss, liability or expense incurred other than by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the
Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its
opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that each of the Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator and the Master
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In
such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, Ocwen, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account or the
Distribution Account as and to the extent provided in Article III and Article
IV, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection Account and
the Distribution Account.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Ocwen shall not be liable for any actions or inactions prior to the Cut-off Date
of any prior servicer of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall
not be liable for any action or inaction of any Servicer, except to the extent
expressly provided herein, or the Credit Risk Manager.

                  SECTION 7.04              Limitation on Resignation of Ocwen.

                  (a) Ocwen shall neither assign all or substantially all of its
rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate all or
substantially all of its duties hereunder nor sell or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior
written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, that in each case, there must be delivered to the Trustee
and the Master Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such
transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the
Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ocwen, without the consent of the
Trustee or the Master Servicer, may retain third-party contractors to perform
certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without
limitation hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration,
flood certification and administration, collection services and similar
functions,

                                     -142-
<PAGE>

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the retention of such contractors by Ocwen shall not
limit the obligation of Ocwen to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Ocwen shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by consent of the Master
Servicer or upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or as provided in Section 7.04(c). Any such
determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation
(other than pursuant to Section 7.04(c)) of Ocwen shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of Ocwen and delivered
to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No resignation of Ocwen shall become
effective until the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer shall have assumed
Ocwen's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                  (b) Except as expressly provided herein, Ocwen shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by Ocwen hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not
prohibit Ocwen from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification
amount payable to Ocwen hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in
Section 3.02, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and
the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an
indemnitee under this Agreement.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Ocwen may
pledge or assign as collateral all its rights, title and interest under this
Agreement to a lender (the "Lender"), provided, that:

                  (1) upon an Event of Default and receipt of a notice of
         termination by Ocwen, the Lender may direct Ocwen or its designee to
         appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to the provisions, and subject to
         the conditions, set forth in Section 8.02 regarding Ocwen's appointment
         of a successor Servicer;

                  (2) the Lender's rights are subject to this Agreement; and

                  (3) Ocwen shall remain subject to termination as servicer
         under this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

                  SECTION 7.05              Limitation on Resignation of the
                                            Master Servicer.

                  The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant
to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the
expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.

                  The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under
this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept
in writing such assignment and delegation and assume the obligations
of the Master Servicer hereunder (a) shall have a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause
(ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced
in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (c) shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement
from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency
shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to
the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency's rating of the Certificates in
effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be
downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and
delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling
the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an officer's certificate and
an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to
such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is
permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment
or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising out of
acts or omissions prior to the effective date thereof.

                  SECTION 7.07              Rights of the Depositor in Respect
                                            of Ocwen and the Master Servicer.

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

                                     -144-
<PAGE>

information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration
statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor, Ocwen or the
Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent,
employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided
that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the
information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the
confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this
Section 7.07 shall limit the obligation of Ocwen to comply with any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the
failure of Ocwen to provide access as provided in this Section 7.07 as a result
of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in
this Section 7.07 shall require Ocwen to collect, create, collate or otherwise
generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of
business. Ocwen shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any
party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs
thereof. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of
the Master Servicer and Ocwen under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated
to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the
Master Servicer or Ocwen under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the
Master Servicer or Ocwen under this Agreement; provided that neither the Master
Servicer nor Ocwen shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this
Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The
Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer or Ocwen and is not obligated to supervise
the performance of the Master Servicer or Ocwen under this Agreement or
otherwise.

                  SECTION 7.08.             Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.

                  For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager
will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and
defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges
with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be
based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the
Credit Risk Management Agreements, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely
to the related Servicer and/or Master Servicer for all information and data
(including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing
of the related Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager
or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give
written notice thereof to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination
of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective
until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.

                  SECTION 7.09.             Limitation Upon Liability of the
                                            Credit Risk Manager.

                  Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in
reliance upon information provided by the related Servicer under the related
Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person
against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk
Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager
may rely in

                                     -145-
<PAGE>

good faith on any document of any kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely
in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the related Servicer
pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of
its duties thereunder and hereunder.

                  SECTION 7.10.             Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.

                  The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager
by Certificateholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights in the
Trust Fund, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion. The
Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager's
removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide
written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be
effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

                  SECTION 8.01              Servicer Events of Default.

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

                           (i) any failure by Ocwen to remit to the Securities
         Administrator for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment
         (other than a P&I Advance required to be made from its own funds on any
         Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 5.03) required to be made
         under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues
         unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which
         written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
         shall have been given to Ocwen by the Depositor or the Trustee (in
         which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to Ocwen, the
         Depositor, the Trustee and by the Holders of Certificates entitled to
         at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                           (ii) any failure on the part of Ocwen duly to observe
         or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
         agreements on the part of Ocwen contained in this Agreement, or the
         material breach by Ocwen of any representation and warranty contained
         in Section 2.05, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
         after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
         same to be remedied, shall have been given to Ocwen by the Depositor or
         the Trustee or to Ocwen, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders
         of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
         provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured
         within thirty (30) days, the cure period may be extended for an
         additional thirty (30) days if Ocwen can demonstrate to the reasonable
         satisfaction of the Trustee that Ocwen is diligently pursuing remedial
         action; or

                           (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or
         supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an
         involuntary case under any present or future federal or state
         bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding,
         or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
         entered against Ocwen and such decree or order shall have remained in
         force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

                           (v) Ocwen shall admit in writing its inability to pay
         its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of any applicable insolvency or

                                     -147-

         reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
         creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

                           (vi) failure by Ocwen to duly perform, within the
         required time period, its obligations under Section 3.17, 3.18 or 3.19
         which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days
         after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
         same to be remedied, shall have been given to Ocwen by any party to
         this Agreement; or

                           (vii) any failure of Ocwen to make any P&I Advance on
         any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
         pursuant to Section 5.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New
         York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
         Remittance Date.

If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this
Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to Ocwen (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee
if given by the Depositor) with a copy to the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of Ocwen in its capacity as
a Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default
described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to Ocwen, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, terminate all of the
rights and obligations of Ocwen in its capacity as a Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Subject to
Section 8.02, on or after the receipt by Ocwen of such written notice, all
authority and power of Ocwen under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Ocwen Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant
to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of Ocwen, any and all documents and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Ocwen Mortgage Loans
and related documents, or otherwise. Ocwen agrees promptly (and in any event no
later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Master
Servicer with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume
Ocwen's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Master
Servicer in effecting the termination of Ocwen's responsibilities and rights
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one
Business Day to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts
which at the time shall be or should have been credited by Ocwen to the related
Collection Account held by or on behalf of Ocwen or thereafter be received with
respect to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that
Ocwen shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to
it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of P&I Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees
or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the

                                     -148-
<PAGE>

Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this
Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agencies of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default of which it has
knowledge as provided above.

                  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
Ocwen (or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if Ocwen is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third
party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor
Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the
Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including without
limitation, any reasonable out-of- pocket or third party costs or expenses
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the
Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data
or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans
properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs and expenses.

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

                           (i) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer
         duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the
         covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in
         this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any
         representation and warranty contained in Section 2.04, which continues
         unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to
         the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
         Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                           (ii) a decree or order of a court or agency or
         supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an
         involuntary case under any present or future federal or state
         bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding,
         or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
         entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have
         remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

                           (iv) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
         inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a
         petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency

                                     -149-
<PAGE>

         or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
         creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if
given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to
each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On
or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation
payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any
and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to
such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by
it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions under this Agreement,
and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts
accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such
termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received
by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this
Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as
provided above.

                  To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee
related to the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor
Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing by the
Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all
due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential
termination of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of
Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of
the master servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor
Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master

                                     -150-
<PAGE>

Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and
expenses from the Distribution Account.

                  SECTION 8.02              Master Servicer to Act; Appointment
                                            of Successor.

                  (a) On and after the time Ocwen receives a notice of
termination, the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the
Ocwen in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the
Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of Ocwen under
this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in
Section 2.03 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant
to Section 3.10(b)) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without
limitation, Ocwen's obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, then the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances
pursuant to Section 5.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such
duties or responsibilities caused by Ocwen's failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 shall not be considered a default by the Master
Servicer as successor to Ocwen hereunder; provided, however, that (1) it is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of
transition (not to exceed 120 days) before the actual servicing functions can be
fully transferred to the Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed in
accordance with the following provisions and (2) any failure to perform such
duties or responsibilities caused by Ocwen's failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 shall not be considered a default by the Master
Servicer as successor to Ocwen hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the
Ocwen Mortgage Loans to which Ocwen would have been entitled if it had continued
to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately
following paragraph, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility
criteria set forth below as the successor to Ocwen under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
Ocwen under this Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, for a period of 30 days following the date on which Ocwen shall have
received a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01, Ocwen or its designee
may appoint a successor Servicer that satisfies the eligibility criteria of a
successor Servicer set forth below, which appointment shall be subject to the
consent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such
successor Servicer agrees to fully effect the servicing transfer within 120 days
following the termination of Ocwen and to make all P&I Advances that would
otherwise be made by the Master Servicer under Section 8.01 as of the date of
such appointment, and to reimburse Ocwen and/or the Master Servicer for any
unreimbursed P&I Advances they have made and any reimbursable expenses that they
may have incurred in connection with this Section 8.02. Any proceeds received in
connection with the appointment of such successor Servicer shall be the property
of Ocwen or its designee. This 30-day period shall terminate immediately (i) at
the close of business on the second Business Day of such 30-day period if (A)
Ocwen was terminated because of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01
(a)(vii) for failing

                                     -151-
<PAGE>

to make a required P&I Advance, and (B) Ocwen shall have failed to make (or
cause to be made) such P&I Advance, or shall fail to reimburse (or cause to be
reimbursed) the Master Servicer for a P&I Advance made by the Master Servicer,
by the close of business on such second Business Day, or (ii) at the close of
business on the second Business Day following the date (if any) during such
30-day period on which a P&I Advance is due to be made, if Ocwen shall have
failed to make (or caused to be made) such P&I Advance, or Ocwen shall have
failed to reimburse (or cause to be reimbursed) the Master Servicer for such P&I
Advance, by the close of business on such second Business Day.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Trustee or the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for
any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the
amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

                  Any successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i)
be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by
a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such
successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth
of not less than $15,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of Ocwen (other than liabilities of Ocwen hereunder incurred prior
to termination of Ocwen under Section 8.01 herein) under this Agreement as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement.

                  (b)(1) All servicing transfer costs (including, without
limitation, servicing transfer costs of the type described in Section 8.02(a)
and incurred by the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer
under paragraph (b)(2) below) shall be paid by the terminated Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its obligation to pay such
costs, the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund.

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

                  SECTION 8.03              Notification to Certificateholders.

                  (a) Upon any termination of Ocwen or the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b) or any appointment of a successor to Ocwen or
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.

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

                                            Default.

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

                                   ARTICLE IX

             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

                  SECTION 9.01              Duties of Trustee and Securities
                                            Administrator.

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

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

                  The Trustee shall promptly remit to the related Servicer any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the "Notices")
delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any
such notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii)
contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination
that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property.
The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may
receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it
unless such Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust
Office and such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii)
of the preceding sentence.

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

                           (i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
                  Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such
                  Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with
                  respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the
                  Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the
                  Trustee shall be

                  determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
                  neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
                  liable except for the performance of such duties and
                  obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
                  no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
                  Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
                  and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or
                  the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the
                  Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely,
                  as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
                  opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
                  furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
                  respectively, that conform to the requirements of this
                  Agreement;

                           (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
                  Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in
                  good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
                  the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities
                  Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that
                  the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was
                  negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

                           (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
                  Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action
                  taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
                  accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
                  entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the
                  time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
                  remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities
                  Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
                  the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this
                  Agreement.

                  SECTION 9.02              Certain Matters Affecting Trustee

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

                           (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may
                  request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or

                  Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,

                  consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
                  reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
                  signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

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

                           (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities

                  pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
                  Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the
                  Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable
                  security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
                  expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
                  thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the
                  Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master
                  Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or
                  waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
                  it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and

                           (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
                  Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered
                  or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
                  authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
                  conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                           (v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
                  Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of
                  all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred
                  with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to

                  reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
                  of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by

                  the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
                  not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities
                  Administrator by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the
                  Securities Administrator, as applicable, may require
                  reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against such expense,
                  or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to
                  taking any such action;

                  of any default, Master Servicer Event of Default or Servicer
                  Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
                  has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any

action. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, from, and hold the
Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee by reason of the Master
Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance

member of a bank holding company whose capital and surplus is at least
$50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the

                                            and Securities Administrator.

                  The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, to the Master Servicer, to the Securities
Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and to
the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator
by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and to the
successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable. A copy
of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the
case may be, may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, successor
securities administrator, Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.

                  If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at
any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable and appoint a successor trustee or
successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or successor securities
administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor.

instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee (in the case of the removal of the Securities
Administrator), the Securities Administrator (in the case of the removal of the
Trustee) and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

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

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall at all times be the same
Person.

                                            Administrator.

                  Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator
appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Depositor and its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor
securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or
securities administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall deliver to the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents and
statements to the extent held by it hereunder, as well as all moneys, held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor trustee or successor securities administrator
all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

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

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or
successor securities administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor
shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of

successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall cause such notice
to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

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

                  SECTION 9.10              Appointment of Co-Trustee or
                                            Separate Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments
to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, and for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to
REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.

                  In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.

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

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

                  SECTION 9.12              Representations and Warranties.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor as applicable, as of
the Closing Date, that:

                  (i) It is a banking corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York.

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
         the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
         will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a
         default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
         would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
         material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
         is applicable to it or any of its assets.

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

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

                  (v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
         of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
         or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
         of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
         which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
         to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                  (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its
         knowledge, threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering
         into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is
         likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 10.01             Termination Upon Repurchase or
                                            Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) Subject to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, Ocwen and the Trustee
(other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 9.05 and of Ocwen to make remittances to the Securities Administrator
and the Securities Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC I
Regular Interests, REMIC I Regular Interests or the Classes of Certificates as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders
and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required
hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined
below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii)
the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of
the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.
Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James,
living on the date hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination
Price") equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price
of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC I, plus the appraised value of each
REO Property, if any, included in REMIC I, such appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and the Trustee in their
reasonable discretion and (B) the aggregate fair market value of all of the
assets of REMIC I (as determined by the Terminator and the Trustee, as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
the third paragraph of this Section 10.01) plus (ii) any amounts due the related
Servicer and the Master Servicer in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees, Master
Servicing Fees and outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances.

                  (b) The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such optional termination right, Ocwen (either the Master Servicer or
Ocwen, the "Terminator") shall have the right to purchase all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is
reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of the Residual
Certificates, the Holder of the Residual Certificates agrees, in connection with
any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any portion of the Termination
Price in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

                                     -164-
<PAGE>

the optional termination right may only be exercised by Ocwen if (i) it receives
written notification from the Master Servicer that it will not exercise such
optional termination right, (ii) it provides written notice to the Authorized
Officers of the Seller that it intends to exercise such optional termination
right and (iii) it receives written authorization from the Authorized Officers
of the Seller to exercise such optional termination right.

                  (c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection
with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator,
not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect
of the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC I Regular Interests or the Certificates
will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the
office of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of
any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the
REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates from and
after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date
therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. In the event
such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the
Terminator shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the above-described Termination Price. The
Securities Administrator shall remit to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Custodian from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account
(i) any amounts which the related Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and
retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.09 as if such funds had
been deposited therein (including all unpaid Servicing Fees and all outstanding
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances) and (ii) any other amounts otherwise
payable by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Custodian and the related Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to making any final
distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the
Trustee by the Securities Administrator of the making of such final deposit, the
Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the
Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments delivered to it and necessary to
effectuate such transfer.

                  (d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 5.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 10.01 shall

                                     -165-

not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time
specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator
shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure
to surrender its Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 10.01. Any such amounts held in trust by
the Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an Eligible Account.

                  SECTION 10.02             Additional Termination Requirements.

                  (a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the

Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make
such written advice, and the cost of same shall be home by the party seeking to

Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the
REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law
or ordinances.

                  (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall

pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Certificateholders under this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the

including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

<PAGE>

executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property

executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

                  Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.

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

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

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.

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

Administrator and the Servicer with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the

of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.

              As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in

the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

              The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

              No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.

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

                                     A-2-13

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

              No transfer of this Class B Certificate will be made unless the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received a
representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that
either (i) the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to
the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary
or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan or (ii) (A) it is an
insurance company, (B) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the
certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general account," as
such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60,
and (C) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

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

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

              The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any
responsibility for their correctness.

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

Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificate of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Servicer with the consent of the Holders of

any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

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

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

                       No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this
Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 6.02(c) of the
Agreement.

                       The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form
only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the

                                      A-3-4

<PAGE>

same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

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

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

                       The recitals contained herein shall be taken as
statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

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

specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

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

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

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule
144A

                                      A-4-4

<PAGE>

under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities
as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase

                                      A-4-5

<PAGE>

is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at
the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.

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

prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register
or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Securities

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Agreement.

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

                  The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 6.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion
of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a
tax upon any REMIC.

                  No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan

                                      A-5-6

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

                  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.

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

                  In connection with the transfer by ______________________ (the
"Transferor") to ___________________ (the "Transferee") of the captioned
mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"), the Transferor hereby

                  Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a)
offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security to any person in
any manner, (b) has solicited any offer to buy or to accept a pledge,
disposition or other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in any
Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) has
otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Certificate, any interest
in any Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner,
(d) has made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
other manner, (e) has taken any other action, that (in the case of each of
subclauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the
Certificates under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or
would render the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the
1933 Act or any state securities law or would require registration or
qualification pursuant thereto. The Transferor will not act, nor has it
authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in
the foregoing sentence with respect to any Certificate. The Transferor will not
sell or otherwise transfer any of the Certificates, except in compliance with

                  to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

             ___  INSURANCE COMPANY. The Transferee is an insurance company
                  whose primary and predominant business activity is the writing
                  of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by
                  insurance companies and which is subject to supervision by the
                  insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a
                  State, territory or the District of Columbia.

             ___  STATE OR LOCAL PLAN. The Transferee is a plan established and
                  maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any
                  agency or instrumentality of the State or its political
                  subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.

             ___  ERISA PLAN. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within
                  the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
                  Security Act of 1974.

             ___  INVESTMENT ADVISOR The Transferee is an investment advisor
                  registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

                  3. The term "SECURITIES" as used herein DOES NOT INCLUDE (i)
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities

                  4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of
securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the
Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not
include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                  5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule
144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the
Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

             ___  ___    Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
             Yes  No     only for the Transferee's own account?

<PAGE>

                  6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the
Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.

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

                  In connection with the transfer by ______________________ (the
"Transferor") to __________________________ (the "Transferee") of the captioned
mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"), the Transferee hereby
certifies as follows:

                  1. The Transferee understands that (a) the Certificates have
             not been and will not be registered or qualified under the
             Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any state
             securities law, (b) the Depositor is not required to so register or
             qualify the Certificates, (c) the Certificates may be resold only

             Servicing Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer of
             the Certificates and (e) the Certificates will bear a legend to the

             connection with any distribution thereof in any manner that would

             institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in

             investment and (c) an "accredited investor" within the meaning of

             manner, (b) solicit any offer to buy or to accept a pledge,
             disposition of other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in
             any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in
             any manner, (c) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any
             Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar
             security with any person in any manner, (d) make any general
             solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner
             or (e) take any other action, that (as to any of (a) through (e)
             above) would constitute a distribution of any Certificate under the
             Act, that would render the disposition of any Certificate a
             violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or any state securities law,
             or that would require registration or qualification pursuant
             thereto. The Transferee will not sell or otherwise transfer any of
             the Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the
             Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  6. The Transferee: (a) is not an employee benefit or other
             plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the
             Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
             ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
             amended ("Plan"), or any other person (including an investment
             manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting,
             directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate
             with "plan assets" of any Plan within the meaning of the Department
             of Labor ("DOL") regulation at 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101 or (b) has
             provided the Trustee with an opinion of counsel on which the
             Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
             Trustee and the Servicer may rely, acceptable to and in form and
             substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
             purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
             not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
             under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
             Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities
             Administrator, the Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation or
             liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
             Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the
             Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

             In addition, the Transferee hereby certifies, represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer that the Transferee will not
transfer such Certificates to any Plan or person unless such Plan or person
meets the requirements set forth in either 6(a) or (b) above.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            By:

                        TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

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

             ___________________________ being duly sworn, deposes, represents
and warrants as follows:

          1.   I am a _____________________ of _______________________________
               (the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the
               laws of _________________________, the record owner of Ace
               Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2004-HE1 Asset
               Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Class R Certificates (the
               "Class R Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit
               and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
               the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and
               Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates
               were issued.

          2.   The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
               ____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R
               Certificates for its own account or for the account of another
               Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially
               the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted Transferee" is any
               person other than a "disqualified organization" or a possession
               of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified
               organization" means the United States, any state or political
               subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
               foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of
               which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
               Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is
               not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
               government, international organization or any agency or
               instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any
               real electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
               (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
               exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is
               subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.

          3.   The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
               transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified
               organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that
               applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after March
               31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if
               such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a
               broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on
               the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
               shall be relieved of liability

<PAGE>

               for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an
               affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at
               the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge
               that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R
               Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the
               meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the
               Code and that the transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest"
               will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income
               on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
               transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

          4.   The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
               holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the
               taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted
               Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
               (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated
               investment company, a real estate investment trust or common
               trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
               cooperatives.)

          5.   The Owner is aware that the Securities Administrator will not
               register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the
               transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to the Securities
               Administrator, among other things, an affidavit in substantially
               the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that
               it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
               that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and
               agreement are false.

          6.   The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
               that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to
               constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R
               Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an
               Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

          7.   The Owner's taxpayer identification number is ________________.

          8.   The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of
               the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of
               the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R
               Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and
               (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which authorize the Securities
               Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the
               Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities
               Administrator in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
               in violation of Section 6.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly
               agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
               provisions.

          9.   The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R
               Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of
               any tax.

          10.  The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class
               R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by
               the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to
               and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class
               R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated
               with holding such

                                      B-3-2

<PAGE>

               Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that
               it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
               generated by the Class R Certificates.

          11.  The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent
               or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
               Class R Certificates.

          12.  The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be
               unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any
               of the Certificates remain outstanding.

          13.  The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the
               intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or
               entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed
               by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become
               insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as
               the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

          14.  The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
               the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
               representations required by Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling and
               Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were
               issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or
               knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such
               representations are false.

          15.  The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
               the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator
               an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not
               transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or
               collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that
               the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
               taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R
               Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
               bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates
               remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".

          16.  The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
               corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in,
               or under the laws of, the United States or any political
               subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from
               sources without the United States may be included in gross income
               for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
               connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
               United States.

          17.  The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the
               event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing
               Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the
               undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class
               CE and the Class P Certificates any amounts in excess of par
               received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the
               event of such termination, the Securities Administrator is hereby
               authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to
               pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE and the
               Class P Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be
               enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the
               undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection

                                      B-3-3

<PAGE>

               with any transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall
               obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any
               subsequent owner.

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

                  _________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:

                  1. I am a ____________________ of _________________________
(the "Owner"), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
_____________, on behalf of whom I make this affidavit.

                  2. The Owner is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the
"Residual Certificates") to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

                  3. The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is
the proposed transferee (the "Purchaser") of the Residual Certificates: (i) has
insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder
of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain
outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  4. The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Trustee or a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit B-2. The Owner does not know or
believe that any representation contained therein is false.

                  5. At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes
(and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.

                  6. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
