        AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of January 1, 2000,  among  RESIDENTIAL  ASSET
SECURITIES  CORPORATION,  as depositor,  (the "Depositor"),  RESIDENTIAL FUNDING
CORPORATION,  as master servicer, (the "Master Servicer") and BANK ONE, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION as trustee,  (the  "Trustee") to that certain  Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of November 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement").

        WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer entered into
a Pooling and  Servicing  Agreement  (the  "Agreement")  dated as of November 1,
1999, relating to the issuance of Home Equity Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-KS4; and

        WHEREAS,  Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement  permits
the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  to be amended  from time to time by the
Depositor,  the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer
and without the consent of the  Certificateholders  to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent; and

     WHEREAS,  the  parties  hereto  wish to amend  the  Pooling  and  Servicing
Agreement to correct an inconsistent provision;

        NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the above premises and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.  Capitalized  terms used herein and not otherwise  defined shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

        2. The second  paragraph  of Section  2.02 of the Pooling and  Servicing
Agreement  is hereby  amended by deleting  such  paragraph  in its  entirety and
replacing it with the following:

               "If the Custodian,  as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Master  Servicer and the Depositor;  provided,
that if the Mortgage  Loan related to such Mortgage File is listed on Schedule A
of Exhibit One of the Custodial  Agreement,  no notification shall be necessary.
Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Custodial  Agreement,  the Custodian  will notify
the Master  Servicer,  the  Depositor  and the  Trustee of any such  omission or
defect found by it in respect of any Mortgage  File held by it. If such omission
or defect materially and adversely affects the interests in the related Mortgage
Loan  of the  Certificateholders  or the  Insurer,  the  Master  Servicer  shall
promptly notify the related Subservicer or Seller of such omission or defect and
request that such  Subservicer or Seller correct or cure such omission or defect
within 60 days from the date the Master  Servicer was notified of such  omission
or defect  and,  if such  Subservicer  or Seller  does not  correct or cure such
omission or defect within such period,  that such Subservicer or Seller purchase
such  Mortgage  Loan from REMIC I or REMIC II, as  applicable,  at its  Purchase
Price,  in either  case  within 90 days from the date the  Master  Servicer  was
notified of such  omission or defect;  provided  that if the  omission or defect
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined



<PAGE>


in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within
90 days from the date such breach was  discovered.  The  Purchase  Price for any
such Mortgage Loan, whether purchased by the Seller or the Subservicer, shall be
deposited  or caused to be  deposited  by the Master  Servicer in the  Custodial
Account  maintained  by it pursuant  to Section  3.07 and,  upon  receipt by the
Trustee of written  notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing  Officer,
the Trustee or any  Custodian,  as the case may be, shall  release to the Master
Servicer the related  Mortgage  File and the Trustee  shall  execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment  prepared by the Master Servicer,  in
each case without  recourse,  as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its
designee or the  Subservicer  or its designee,  as the case may be, any Mortgage
Loan released  pursuant  hereto and  thereafter  such Mortgage Loan shall not be
part of the Trust Fund. It is understood  and agreed that the  obligation of the
Seller  or the  Subservicer,  as the case  may be,  to so cure or  purchase  any
Mortgage  Loan as to which a material  and  adverse  defect in or  omission of a
constituent  document  exists shall  constitute the sole remedy  respecting such
defect or omission available to  Certificateholders  or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders  (except  for  the  Insurer's  rights,  under  the  Insurance
Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the
Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to substitute,  within 60 days of the
Closing Date, Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans to replace any of the Mortgage
Loans  identified  in Schedule I hereto with  respect to which any  documents or
documents  constituting  a part of the Mortgage File are missing or defective in
any material  respect if the Master Servicer cannot cure such omission or defect
within such 60 day period."

        3. The parties hereto shall execute such documents,  and take such other
action, as may be required to effectuate the intent of this Amendment No. 1.

        4. Except as  otherwise  set forth  herein,  the  Pooling and  Servicing
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

        5. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in one or more  counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so
executed,  shall be deemed  an  original;  such  counterparts,  together,  shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

        6. This  Amendment No. 1 shall be construed in accordance  with the laws
of the State of New York,  without  reference to its conflict of law provisions,
and the  obligations,  rights and  remedies  of the parties  hereunder  shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

        7. All other  provisions  of the Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  are
hereby affirmed in all respects.

               IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  parties  hereto  have  executed  this
Amendment  No. 1 to the Pooling and  Servicing  Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.
