                                UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT



Prudential Securities Incorporated,
  as Representative of the several
  Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto
One New York Plaza
New York, New York  10292

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     EquiVantage Acceptance Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has
authorized the issuance of Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
1997-1, consisting of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class
A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates and Class A-5 Certificates
(collectively, the "Offered Certificates"), the Class B Certificates (the "Class
B Certificates") and the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates" and
together with the Offered Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the
"Certificates"), evidencing beneficial ownership interests in a pool of home
equity loans (the "Home Equity Loans").  The Home Equity Loans are secured
primarily by first and junior lien deeds of trust or mortgages on one- to
four-family residential properties.

     The Offered Certificates are being purchased by the Underwriters named in
Schedule A hereto, and the Underwriters are purchasing, severally, only the
Offered Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule A, except that
the amounts purchased by the Underwriters may change in accordance with Section
X of this Agreement. Prudential Securities Incorporated is acting as
representative of the several Underwriters and in such capacity is hereinafter
referred to as the "Representative."

     The Certificates will be issued under a pooling and servicing agreement
dated as of March 1, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") among the
Company, as Seller (in such capacity, the "Seller"), EquiVantage Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("EquiVantage Inc."), as Servicer (in such capacity, the
"Servicer"), and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").  The
Certificates will evidence fractional undivided interests in the trust
established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Trust").  The assets
of the Trust will initially include, among other things, a pool of Home Equity
Loans and such amounts as may be held by the Trustee for the Trust in any
accounts established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the
Certificate Account (the "Certificate Account") and the Principal and Interest
Account (the "P&I Account").  The Home Equity Loans will be acquired from
EquiVantage Inc. pursuant to a Master Loan Transfer Agreement 


<PAGE>

dated as of March 1, 1997 (the "Master Loan Transfer Agreement") and the 
related Conveyance Agreement dated March 27, 1997 (the "Conveyance Agreement" 
and together with the Master Loan Transfer Agreement, the "Purchase 
Agreements").  The Offered Certificates will initially represent an undivided 
ownership interest in the related pool of Home Equity Loans in an amount 
equal to approximately $85,000,000 as of the close of business on March 1, 
1997 (collectively, the "Cut-Off Date").  The Offered Certificates will also 
have the benefit of a financial guaranty insurance policy (the "Certificate 
Insurance Policy") issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, a New York 
stock insurance company (the "Certificate Insurer").  The Certificate 
Insurance Policy will be issued pursuant to the insurance agreement dated as 
of March 1, 1997 (the "Insurance Agreement") among the Certificate Insurer, 
the Company, and the Servicer.  A form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 
has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (hereinafter 
defined).

     The Certificates are more fully described in the Prospectus (hereinafter
defined) that the Company has furnished to the Underwriters.  Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION I.   Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriters that:

     A.   A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-23141) has (i) been
prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations
(the "Rules and Regulations") of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, (ii) been filed with the Commission
under the Securities Act and (iii) become effective under the Securities Act. 
Copies of such registration statement have been delivered by the Company to the
Representative.  As used in this Agreement, "Effective Time" means the date and
the time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereto, if any, was declared effective by the
Commission; "Effective Date" means the date of the Effective Time; "Registration
Statement" means such registration statement, at the Effective Time, including
any documents incorporated by reference therein at such time; "Basic Prospectus"
means the final prospectus dated March 12, 1997; and "Prospectus Supplement"
means the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Certificates dated
March 14, 1997, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to paragraphs (2), (3)
or (5) of Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations.  "Prospectus" means the
Basic Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement.  Reference made herein
to the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
Securities Act as of the date of the Prospectus, any reference to any amendment
or supplement to the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any
document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), after the date of the Prospectus and incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus, and any reference to any amendment to the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to include any report of the Company filed with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the
Effective Time that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. 
The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending the use of the
Prospectus.  There are no contracts or documents of 

                                       2

Statement pursuant to the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations which 
have not been so filed or incorporated by reference therein on or prior to 
the Effective Date of the Registration Statement other than such documents or 
materials, if any, as any Underwriter delivers to the Company pursuant to 
Section VIII (D) hereof for filing on Form 8-K.

     B.   The Registration Statement conforms, and the Prospectus and any
further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus will, when they become effective or are filed with the Commission, as
the case may be, conform, in all respects to the requirements of the Securities
Act and the Rules and Regulations.  The Registration Statement, as of the
Effective Date thereof and of any amendment thereto, did not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  The
Prospectus as of its date, and as amended or supplemented as of the Closing
Date, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company in writing by the Underwriters expressly for use therein.

     C.   The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when they
became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be,
conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; any further documents so filed and incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus, when such documents become effective or are filed
with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects
to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no
representation is made as to documents deemed to be incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus as the result of filing a Form 8-K at the request of the
Underwriters except to the extent such documents reflect information furnished
by the Company to the Underwriters for the purpose of preparing such documents.

     D.   Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Prospectus, there has not been any material adverse change, or any development
involving a prospective material adverse change, in the general affairs,
management, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company,
otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as supplemented or
amended as of the Closing Date.

     L.   The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorities

its interest in the Home Equity Loans to the Trust pursuant to the terms of 
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to sell the Offered Certificates to

Agreement by the Trustee, the Trust will have acquired beneficial ownership 
of all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to the Home Equity 
Loans. Upon delivery to the Underwriters of the Offered Certificates, the 
Underwriters will have good title to the Offered Certificates, free of any 
Liens.

     N.   As of the Cut-Off Date, each of the Home Equity Loans will meet the
eligibility criteria described in the Prospectus and will conform to the
descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus in all material respects.

     O.   The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the Trust created thereby
is not required to be registered thereunder, and the Company is not an
"investment company" as such term is defined, under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

     P.   At the Closing Date, the Offered Certificates, the Purchase Agreements
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will conform in all material respects to
the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus.  The Offered Certificates
will be duly and validly authorized and, when duly and validly executed,
authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and sold to the Underwriters as provided herein, will be validly
issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

     Q.   At the Closing Date, the Offered Certificates shall have been rated in
the highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized rating
agencies.

     R.   Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the
execution, delivery and issuance of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the Certificates have been paid or will
be paid at or prior to the Closing Date.

     S.   At the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties of the
Company set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Insurance
Agreement will be true and correct in all material respects.

     T.   The transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the Trust at the Closing Date
will be treated by the Company for financial accounting and reporting purposes
as a sale of assets and not as a pledge of assets to secure debt.

has been filed prior to the Closing Date and to furnish the Underwriters with 
copies thereof; to file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or 
information statements required to be filed by the Company with the 
Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 
subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and, for so long as the delivery of 
a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the 
Offered Certificates; to promptly advise the Underwriters of its receipt of

     B.   To furnish promptly to the Underwriters and to counsel for the
Underwriters a signed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed
with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto filed with the Commission,

the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and each
amendment thereto (in each case including exhibits); (ii) the Prospectus and any

reference in the Prospectus (including exhibits thereto).  If the delivery of a
prospectus is required at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after
the Effective Time in connection with the offering or sale of the Offered
Certificates, and if at such time any events shall have occurred as a result of
which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if
for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or
supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall notify the Underwriters
and, upon any Underwriter's request, shall file such document and prepare and
furnish without charge to the Underwriters and to any dealer in securities as
many copies as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request of an
amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which corrects such
statement or omission or effects such compliance, and in case the Underwriters
are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales of any of the
Offered Certificates at any time nine months or more after the Effective Time,
upon the request of an Underwriter but at its expense, the Company shall prepare
and deliver to such Underwriter as many copies as such Underwriter may
reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying with
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.  If such 

                                       8

<PAGE>

amendment or supplement to the Prospectus is required to be contained in a

its best efforts to cause such amendment of the Registration Statement to be 
made effective as soon as possible.

Statement or the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus that may, in the
judgment of the Company or the Underwriters, be required by the Securities Act
or requested by the Commission.

document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, or (ii) the Prospectus
pursuant to Rule 424 of the Rules and Regulations.

     F.   To make generally available to holders of the Offered Certificates as
soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 90 days after the close of

be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the Rules and
Regulations (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158) and covering a
period of at least twelve consecutive months beginning not later than the first
day of the first fiscal quarter following the Closing Date.

     G.   To use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to
qualify the Offered Certificates for offering and sale under the applicable
securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States or
elsewhere as the Underwriters may designate, and maintain or cause to be
maintained such qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the
distribution of the Offered Certificates.  The Company will file or cause the
filing of such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each
jurisdiction in which the Offered Certificates have been so qualified.

     H.   So long as the Offered Certificates shall be outstanding the Company
shall cause the Trustee, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to
deliver to the Underwriters as soon as such statements are furnished to the
Trustee:  (i) the annual statement as to compliance delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.16 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the annual
statement of a firm of independent public accountants furnished to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (iii) the
monthly servicing report furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.8 and

<PAGE>

     J.   During a period of seven calendar days from the Closing Date, neither
the Company nor any trust established, directly or indirectly, by the Company
will, without the Representative's prior written consent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), offer or sell mortgage pass-through certificates
backed by mortgage loans, except pursuant to this Agreement.

     K.   The Company will enter into the applicable agreements, to which it is
a party pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on or prior to the
Closing Date and will cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Insurance Policy
issued by the Certificate Insurer.

     L.   The Company will cause any Computational Materials (as defined in
Section VIII(D) below) with respect to the Certificates that are delivered to
the Company as provided in Section VIII(D) below to be filed with the Commission
on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report - Computational Materials")
at or before the time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act.

     M.   The Company will cause any ABS Term Sheets (as defined in
Section VIII(D) below)  with respect to the Certificates that are delivered to
the Company as provided in Section VIII (D) below to be filed with the
Commission on one or more Current Reports on Form 8-K (collectively, the
"Current Report - ABS Term Sheets" and, together with Current Reports -
Computational Materials, the "Current Reports") (i) at or before the time of
filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in
the case of Structural Term Sheets (as defined in Section VIII(D) below) and
(ii) within two business days of first use in the case of Collateral Term Sheets
(as defined in Section VIII(D) below).

     SECTION VI.   CONDITION TO THE UNDERWRITERS' OBLIGATIONS.  The obligations
of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement are subject to:  (i) the accuracy on and as of the Closing Date of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein contained
(including those representations and warranties set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and incorporated herein); (ii) the performance by the
Company of all of its obligations hereunder; (iii) the accuracy of the
statements of the Company made in any certificate or other document delivered
pursuant to the provisions hereof; and (iv) the following conditions as of the
Closing Date:

     A.   The Underwriters shall have received confirmation of the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement.  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no
proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the
Commission.  Any request of the Commission for inclusion of additional
information in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall have been
complied with.  The Prospectus shall have been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b).

     B.   The Underwriters shall not have discovered and disclosed to the
Company on or prior to the Closing Date that the Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a fact or omits
to state a fact that, in the opinion of counsel for the 

                                      10

<PAGE>

Underwriters, is material and is required to be stated therein or is 
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Underwriters 
shall not have discovered and disclosed to the Company on or prior to the 
Closing Date that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto 
contains an untrue statement of a fact or omits to state a fact that, in the 
opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, is material and is necessary to make 
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under 
which they were made.

     C.   All corporate proceedings and other legal matters relating to the
authorization, form and validity of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, the Certificates,
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and all other legal matters
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
satisfactory in all respects to counsel for the Underwriters, and the Company
shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may
reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.  The Representative
shall have received the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Offered
Certificates in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, duly
executed by all signatories required pursuant to the respective terms thereof.

     D.   Andrews & Kurth L.L.P. shall have furnished to the Underwriters their
written opinion, as counsel to the Company, addressed to the Underwriters and
dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters,
to the effect that:

          1.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, and
     the Master Loan Transfer Agreement (the "Agreements") to which the Company
     and the Servicer are a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations
     of the Company and the Servicer, respectively, and are enforceable against
     the Company and the Servicer, respectively, in accordance with their
     respective terms except (i) as enforcement thereof may be limited by (a)
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership,
     moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
     generally or (b) general principles of equity or public policy, regardless
     of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or
     at law.

          2.  The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement  have been
     duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and this
     Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

          3.  Each Certificate, when duly executed and authenticated as
     specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and delivered pursuant to
     the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, will be validly issued and outstanding
     and is entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
     afforded by such Certificate.

          4.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or
     filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required
     to be obtained for the execution, delivery and performance of any of the
     Agreements, this Agreement or the consummation 

                                      11

<PAGE>

     of any of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company or the 
     Servicer, as the case may be, except such which have been obtained.

          5.  The conditions to the use by the Company of a registration
     statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the General
     Instructions to Form S-3, have been satisfied with respect to the
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

          6.  The Registration Statement and any amendments thereto have become
     effective under the Securities Act; to the best of such counsel's
     knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
     Statement has been issued and not withdrawn and no proceedings for that
     purpose have been instituted or threatened and not terminated; and the
     Registration Statement, the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
     thereto, as of their respective effective or issue dates (other than the
     Computational Materials (as defined in Section VIII.D), any ABS Term Sheet
     (as defined in Section VIII.D), and any financial and statistical data
     included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), complied as
     to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
     Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such counsel
     does not know of any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be
     filed.

          7.  The statements set forth in the Base Prospectus under the captions
     "Description of the Certificates" and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement"
     and in the Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Description of the
     Certificates" and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement," to the extent such
     statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Certificates or
     of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are fair and accurate in all
     material respects.

          8.  The statements set forth in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus
     Supplement, as the case may be, under the captions "ERISA Considerations,"
     "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences," "Legal Investment
     Considerations" and "Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans and Related
     Matters," to the extent that they constitute matters of federal law or
     legal conclusions with respect thereto, provide a fair and accurate summary
     of such law or legal conclusions.

          9.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates and the
     Purchase Agreements conform in all material respects to the description
     thereof contained in the Prospectus, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is
     not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
     amended, and the Trust is not required to be registered under the 1940 Act.

          10.  To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no actions,
     proceedings or investigations pending that would adversely affect the
     status of the Trust as a REMIC.

                                      12

<PAGE>

          11.  Assuming that the Trustee causes certain assets of the Trust, as
     the Trustee has covenanted to do in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to
     be treated as one or more "real estate mortgage investment conduits"
     ("REMICs"), as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
     as amended (the "Code"), and the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement comply with the terms thereof, such assets of the Trust will be
     treated as one or more REMICs, the Offered Certificates will be treated as
     the "regular interests" in a REMIC and the Class R Certificates will be
     treated as the sole "residual interest" in a REMIC.  Neither the Trust nor
     certain assets and accounts are subject to tax upon its income or assets by
     any taxing authority of the State of New York or the City of New York.

     Such counsel shall also have furnished to the Underwriters a written
statement, addressed to the Underwriters and dated the Closing Date, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that no facts have
come to the attention of such counsel which lead them to believe that: (a) the
Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement became
effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein misleading (except as to the financial, numerical,
statistical and quantitative information included in the Registration Statement
or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not make any
statement); (b) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date,
contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(except as to the Computational Materials, ABS Term Sheets and the financial,
numerical, statistical and quantitative information included in the Prospectus
or incorporated by reference therein and statements in the Prospectus with
respect to the Certificate Insurer, as to which such counsel need not make any
statement); or (c) any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or
any further amendment or supplement to any such incorporated document made by
the Company prior to the Closing Date (other than any document filed at the
request of an Underwriter to the extent such document relates to Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets) contained, as of the time it became effective or
was filed with the Commission, as the case may be, an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

     In rendering such opinion or making such statement, such counsel may rely,
as to matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company. 
Such opinions and written statements may also assume the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein by
the parties thereto other than the Company.

     E.   The Underwriters have received the favorable opinion, dated the
Closing Date, of Andrews & Kurth L.L.P., counsel to the Company, addressed to
the Company and satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services, a Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies ("Standard & Poor's"),
Moody's Investors Service Inc. ("Moody's") and the Underwriters, with respect to
certain matters relating to the transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the Company
and from the Company to the Trust, and such counsel shall have consented to
reliance 

                                      13


<PAGE>

on such opinion by the Certificate Insurer, Standard & Poor's, Moody's and 
the Underwriters as though such opinion had been addressed to each such party.

     F.   Karen S. Crawford, Esq., counsel to the Servicer, shall have furnished
to the Underwriters her written opinion, as counsel to the Servicer, addressed
to the Underwriters and the Company and dated the Closing Date, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that:

          1. The Servicer is validly existing in good standing as a corporation
     under the laws of the State of Delaware.

          2. The Servicer has full corporate power and authority to serve in the
     capacity of servicer of the related Home Equity Loans as contemplated in
     the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

          3. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Insurance Agreement
     have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Servicer, and,
     assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of such agreements
     by the other parties thereto, constitute the legal, valid and binding
     agreements of the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with their
     terms, subject as to enforceability to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws now or
     hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (y) the
     qualification that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
     other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to
     the discretion, with respect to such remedies, of the court before which
     any proceedings with respect thereto may be brought.

          4. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
     qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body having
     jurisdiction over the Servicer is required for the consummation by either
     of them of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement and the Insurance Agreement, except such consents, approvals,
     authorizations, registrations and qualifications as have been obtained.

          5. The execution, delivery or performance by the Servicer of the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement and the
     transactions contemplated thereby do not (A) conflict with or result in a
     breach of, or constitute a default under, (i) any term or provision of the
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer; (ii) any term or
     provision of any material agreement, deed of trust, mortgage loan
     agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or other agreement to which
     the Servicer is a party or is bound or to which any of the property or
     assets of the Servicer or any of its subsidiaries is subject; (iii) to the
     best of such counsel's knowledge, without independent investigation, any
     order,  judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
     authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer; or (iv) any law, rule or
     regulation applicable to the Servicer; or (B) to the best of such counsel's
     knowledge, without independent investigation, result in 

                                      14

<PAGE>

     the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the 
     Trust or upon the Certificates.

          6. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending with
     respect to which the Servicer has received service of process before, or to
     the best of such counsel's knowledge, without independent investigation,
     threatened against the Servicer by any court, administrative agency or
     other tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or the Certificates, (b) seeking to
     prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (c) which would materially adversely
     affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the
     validity or enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement or the
     Insurance Agreement.

     G.   Karen S. Crawford, Esq., counsel to the Company, shall have furnished
to the Underwriters such counsel's written opinion, addressed to the
Underwriters and dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Underwriters, to the effect that:

          1. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
     corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is
     duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
     corporation in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of
     property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification (except
     where any such failure would not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement), and has all
     power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct
     the business in which it is engaged and to enter into and perform its
     obligations under this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
     Insurance Agreement and the Purchase Agreements, and cause the Certificates
     to be issued.

          2. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation
     or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance of any material
     obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract,
     indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to
     which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound,
     which default might result in any material adverse change in the financial
     condition of the Company or which might materially and adversely affect the
     properties or assets, taken as a whole, of the Company.

          3. This Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
     Agreement and the Purchase Agreements have been duly authorized, executed
     and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution
     and delivery of such agreements by the other parties thereto, such
     agreements constitute valid and binding obligations, enforceable against
     the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to
     enforceability to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
     other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
     generally, (y) general principles 

                                      15

<PAGE>

     of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in 
     equity or at law) and (z) with respect to rights of indemnity under this 
     Agreement and the Insurance Agreement, limitations of public policy under 
     applicable securities laws.

          4. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the Purchase
     Agreements by the Company, the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated hereby and thereby, and the issuance and delivery of the
     Certificates (i) do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or
     violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
     under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
     agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the
     Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company
     or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which breach or violation would have
     a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial
     condition of the Company, (ii) nor will such actions result in a violation
     of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
     Company or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
     governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of
     its properties or assets, which breach or violation would have a material
     adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the
     Company, and (iii) nor will such actions result in the creation or
     imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Trust or upon the
     Certificates, except as otherwise contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement.

          5. The direction by the Company to the Trustee to execute, issue,
     authenticate and deliver the Certificates has been duly authorized by the
     Company and, assuming that the Trustee has been duly authorized to do so,
     when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
     in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates
     will be validly issued and outstanding and will be entitled to the benefits
     of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

          6. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
     qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body of the
     United States is required for the issuance of the Certificates, and the
     sale of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters, or the consummation
     by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
     the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Insurance Agreement, except
     such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications
     as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities or Blue Sky
     laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered
     Certificates by the Underwriters or as have been previously obtained.

          7. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending with
     respect to which the Company has received service of process before or, to
     the best of such counsel's knowledge, without independent investigation,
     threatened by any court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which
     the Company is a party or of which any of its properties 

                                      16

<PAGE>

     is the subject: (a) which if determined adversely to the Company would 
     have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or 
     financial condition of the Company; (b) asserting the invalidity of the 
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or the 
     Certificates; (c) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or 
     the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions contemplated 
     by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or this 
     Agreement, as the case may be; or (d) which might materially and adversely 
     affect the performance by the Company of its obligations under, or the 
     validity or enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the 
     Insurance Agreement, this Agreement or the Certificates.

          8. The Certificates have been duly and validly authorized and issued,
     and, immediately prior to the sale of the Offered Certificates to the
     Underwriters, such Certificates are owned by the Company, free and clear of
     all Liens.

     H.   The Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion of counsel
(which may be in-house counsel) to the Trustee, dated the Closing Date,
addressed to the Underwriters and in form and scope satisfactory to counsel to
the Underwriters, to the effect that:

          1. The Trustee is a national banking association duly incorporated and
     validly existing under the laws of the United States of America.

          2. The Trustee has the full corporate trust power to execute, deliver
     and perform its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

          3. The execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement and the performance by the Trustee of its obligations
     under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized by all
     necessary corporate actions of the Trustee.

          4. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is a valid and legally binding
     obligation of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee.

          5. The execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement does not (a) violate the organization certificate of
     the Trustee or the by-laws of the Trustee, (b) to such counsel's knowledge,
     violate any judgment, decree or order of any Minnesota or United States
     federal court or other Minnesota or United States federal governmental
     authority by which the Trustee is bound or (c) assuming the non-existence
     of any judgment, decree or order of any court or other governmental
     authority that would be violated by such execution n and delivery, violate
     any Minnesota or United States federal statute, rule or regulation or
     require any consent, approval or authorization of any Minnesota or United
     States federal court or other Minnesota or United States federal
     governmental authority.

                                      17


<PAGE>

          6. The Certificates have been duly authenticated, executed and
     delivered by the Trustee.

          7. If the Trustee were acting in the stead of the Servicer under the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement as of the date of such opinion, the Trustee
     would have the full corporate trust power to perform the obligations of the
     Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

          8. To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no actions,
     proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against or affecting
     the Trustee before or by any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or
     other governmental authority which, if decided adversely to the Trustee,
     would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Trustee to carry
     out the transactions contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     I.   The Underwriters shall have received a favorable opinion or opinions,
dated the date of the Closing Date, of counsel for the Underwriters, with
respect to the issue and sale of the Offered Certificates, this Agreement, the
Prospectus and such other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably
require.

     J.   The Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion dated the
Closing Date, from counsel to the Certificate Insurer, which may be in-house
counsel, in form and scope satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters,
substantially to the effect that:

          1. The Certificate Insurer is a stock insurance corporation duly
     incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
     State of New York.  The Certificate Insurer is validly licensed and
     authorized to issue the Certificate Insurance Policy, and perform its
     obligations under the Insurance Agreement in accordance with the terms
     thereof, under the laws of the State of New York.

          2. The Certificate Insurer has the corporate power to execute and
     deliver, and to take all action required of it under, the Insurance
     Agreement and the Certificate Insurance Policy.

          3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Certificate Insurer
     of the Certificate Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement is within
     the corporate power of the Certificate Insurer and has been authorized by
     all necessary corporate action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, and
     does not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
     prior registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of
     any state or other governmental agency or authority which has not
     previously been obtained or effected.

          4. The Certificate Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement have
     been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Certificate Insurer and
     constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Certificate
     Insurer, enforceable against the Certificate Insurer 

                                      18

<PAGE>

     in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to (x) bankruptcy,
     reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws relating 
     to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, 
     including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfer or 
     conveyances, preferential transfers and equitable subordination, 
     presently or from time to time in effect and general principles of 
     equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a 
     proceeding in equity or at law), as such laws may be applied in any such 
     proceeding with respect to the Certificate Insurer and (y) the 
     qualification that the remedy of specific performance and other forms of 
     equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the 
     discretion of the court before which any proceedings with respect 
     thereto may be brought.

          5. To the extent the Certificate Insurance Policy constitutes a
     security within the meaning of Section 2(l) of the Securities Act, it is a
     security that is exempt from the registration requirements of the
     Securities Act.

          6. The information set forth under the captions "The Certificate
     Insurer" and "The Certificate Insurance Policy" in the Prospectus
     Supplement are materially correct and, insofar as such information
     constitutes a description of the Certificate Insurance Policy, accurately
     summarizes the Certificate Insurance Policy.

     K.   The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate,
dated the Closing Date and signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or
a Vice President of the Company to the extent that the signer of such
certificate has carefully examined the Registration Statement (excluding any
documents incorporated therein by reference), the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement and that, to the best of his or her knowledge based
upon reasonable investigation:

          1. The representations and warranties of the Company in this
     Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and all related agreements
     are true and correct as of the Closing Date; the Company has complied with
     all agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part which are to
     have been complied with on or prior to the Closing Date.

          2. There has been no amendment or other document filed affecting the
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company since September 30,
     1996 and no such amendment has been authorized.  No event has occurred
     since March 14, 1997 which has affected the good standing of the Company
     under the laws of the State of Delaware.

          3. There has not occurred any material adverse change, or any
     development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
     condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or
     operations of the Company from September 30, 1996.

          4. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending with respect to
     which it has received service of process or, to the best of such officer's
     knowledge, threatened against or 

                                      19

<PAGE>


     affecting the Company which if adversely determined, individually or in 
     the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the 
     Company's obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or this 
     Agreement in any material way; and no merger, liquidation, dissolution 
     or bankruptcy of the Company is pending or contemplated.

     L.   The Trustee shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate of
the Trustee, signed by one or more duly authorized officers of the Trustee,
dated the Closing Date, as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Trustee and the acceptance by the
Trustee of the trusts created thereby and the due execution, authentication and
delivery of the Certificates by the Trustee thereunder and such other matters as
the Representative shall reasonably request.

     M.   The Certificate Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement shall
have been issued by the Certificate Insurer and shall have been duly
authenticated by an authorized agent of the Certificate Insurer, if so required
under applicable state law or regulations.

     N.   The Offered Certificates shall have been rated "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's and "Aaa" by Moody's.

     O.   The Company shall, by the Closing Date, have furnished to the
Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the
Underwriters may reasonably have requested pursuant to a request made not less
than three full business days prior to the Closing Date.

     P.   Prior to the Closing Date, counsel for the Underwriters shall have
been furnished with such documents and opinions as they may reasonably require
for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the
Certificates as herein contemplated and related proceedings or in order to
evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and
warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained, and
all proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of
the Certificates as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters.

     Q.   Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement none of the
following shall have occurred:  (i) trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market
shall have been suspended or minimum prices shall have been established on
either of such exchanges or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or
by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (ii)
a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or state authorities;
(iii) the United States shall have become engaged in hostilities, there shall
have been an escalation of hostilities involving the United States or there
shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United
States; or (iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in
general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of
international conditions on the financial markets of the United States shall be
such) as to make it in each of the instances set forth in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) herein, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters,
impractical or inadvisable to proceed 

                                      20

<PAGE>

with the public offering or delivery of the Certificates on the terms and in 
the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

     R.   The Representative shall have received a letter from KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP, dated on or before the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Representative and special counsel for the Underwriters, addressed to each
of the Underwriters to the effect that they have performed certain specified
procedures requested by the Representative with respect to the information set
forth in the Prospectus and certain matters relating to the Company.

     S.   The Representative and special counsel for the Underwriters shall have
received copies of any opinions of counsel supplied to the rating organizations
relating to any matters with respect to the Certificates.  Any such opinions
shall be dated the Closing Date and addressed to each of the Underwriters or
accompanied by reliance letters to the Representative or shall state that each
of the Underwriters may rely upon them.

     T.   On or prior to the Closing Date there shall not have occurred any
downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of (A) any intended or
potential downgrading or (B) any review or possible change in rating the
direction of which has not been indicated, in the rating accorded the
Certificate Insurer's claims paying ability by any "nationally recognized
statistical rating organization," as such term is defined for purposes of the
Securities Act.

     U.   There has not occurred any change, or any development involving a
prospective change, in a condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings,
business or operations, since September 30, 1996, of (A) the Company and its
subsidiaries or (B) the Certificate Insurer, that is, in the Representative's
judgment, material and adverse and that makes it, in the Representative's
judgment, impracticable to market the Offered Certificates on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

     If any conditions specified in this Section VI shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated
by the Underwriters by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the
Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to
any other party except as provided in Section VII.

     All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the
provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonable satisfactory
to counsel for the Underwriters.

     SECTION VII.   PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.  If the transaction closes, or if the
transaction fails to close other than as a result of a failure of the
Underwriters to perform hereunder, the Company agrees to pay:  (a) the costs
incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates
and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (b) the costs incident to the
preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration
Statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto (including the Prospectus);
(c) the costs of distributing the Registration Statement 

                                      21

<PAGE>

as originally filed and each amendment thereto and any post-effective 
amendments thereof (including, in each case, exhibits), the Prospectus and 
any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by 
reference therein, all as provided in this Agreement; (d) the costs of 
reproducing and distributing this Agreement; (e) the fees and expenses of 
qualifying the Certificates under the securities laws of the several 
jurisdictions as provided in Section V(G) hereof and of preparing, printing 
and distributing a Blue Sky Memorandum (including related fees and expenses 
of counsel to the Representative); (f) any fees charged by securities rating 
services for rating the Offered Certificates; (g) the cost of the 
accountant's letter relating to the Prospectus; (h) the fees and expenses of 
the Certificate Insurer (other than the fees payable pursuant to the Pooling 
and Servicing Agreement); (i) the costs and expenses of the Underwriters and 
their counsel; (j) the costs of any accountant's comfort letters which the 
Underwriters request relating to any Computational Materials or ABS Term 
Sheets; and (k) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of 
the obligations of the Company (including costs and expenses of its counsel); 
provided, however, that the Underwriters shall pay any transfer taxes on the 
Offered Certificates which they may sell and the expenses of advertising any 
offering of the Offered Certificates made by the Underwriters.

     If this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance with the
provisions of Section VI or Section XI, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereunder are consummated, the Company shall cause the Underwriters
to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, except that the Company shall not
be obligated under this Agreement to reimburse the Underwriters for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, excluding fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Underwriters, if this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance
with Section VI(Q) herein.

     SECTION VIII.   INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. A.  The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 12 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all loss, claim,
damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof
(including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
relating to purchases and sales of the Offered Certificates), to which such
Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (iv) the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Prospectus a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading and shall reimburse, as provided
herein, such Underwriter and each such controlling person promptly upon demand
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such

                                      22


<PAGE>

expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Prospectus, or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the Registration Statement, or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter
specifically for inclusion therein (except to the extent that any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is a
result of Seller Provided Information (hereinafter defined) which is not
accurate and complete in all material respects).  The foregoing indemnity
agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have
to any Underwriter or any controlling person of any such Underwriter.

     B.   Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against
any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in
respect thereof, (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage,
liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Offered
Certificates), to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon,
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
to make the statements in the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent
that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for
inclusion therein, and shall reimburse, as provided herein, the Company and any
such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or any director, officer or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend
against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are
incurred.  The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability
which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or any such director,
officer or controlling person.

     C.   Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section
VIII of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section VIII, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section VIII except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, however, that
the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section VIII except as otherwise provided by law.

                                       23

<PAGE>

     If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party,
and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly
with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  After
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to
assume the defense of such claim or action, except to the extent provided in the
next following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
indemnified party under this Section VIII for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

     Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless:  (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall have been advised by such
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in
the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified
party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to
assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party within a reasonably prompt period following the receipt of
notification in writing from the indemnified party, in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to one local counsel per jurisdiction) which counsel shall be
reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party at any time for all such
indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the related
Underwriter, if the indemnified parties under this Section VIII consist of one
or more Underwriters or any of its or their controlling persons, or the Company,
if the indemnified parties under this Section VIII consist of the Company or any
of the Company's directors, officers or controlling persons.

     Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Section VIII(A) and (B), shall use its best efforts to cooperate
with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim.  No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

                                      24

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified
party for fees and expenses of counsel as required by this Agreement, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

     D.   Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets.  Not later than 10:30
a.m. New York City time, on the business day before the date on which the
applicable Current Report relating to the Certificates is required to be filed
by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section V(L) hereof, each
Underwriter shall deliver to the Company five complete copies of all materials,
if any, provided by such Underwriter to prospective investors in such
Certificates which constitute Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets.  Each
delivery of Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets to the Company pursuant
to this paragraph (D) shall be effected by delivering four copies of such
material to counsel for the Company on behalf of the Company and one copy of
such materials to the Company.

     "Computational Materials" shall mean those materials delivered by an
Underwriter to the Company within the meaning of the no-action letter dated May
20, 1994, issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to
Kidder, Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated,
and Kidder Structured Asset Corporation and the no-action letter dated May 27,
1994, issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the
Public Securities Association, for which the filing of such material is a
condition of the relief granted in such letters.  "ABS Term Sheets" shall mean
those materials delivered by an Underwriter to the Company in the form of
"Structural Term Sheets" or "Collateral Term Sheets," in each case within the
meaning of the no-action letter dated February 17, 1995 issued by the Division
of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association,
for which the filing of such material is a condition of the relief granted in
such letter. 

     E.   Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees, except to the
extent that the Seller Provided Information is not accurate and complete in all
material respects, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the
Company's officers and directors and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 12 of the Exchange
Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or
action relating to purchases and sales of the Offered Certificates), arise out
of or are based 

                                      25

<PAGE>

upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Computational 
Materials or ABS Term Sheets provided by such Underwriter, or arise out of or 
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material 
fact necessary to make the statements therein, when considered in conjunction 
with the Prospectus, and in the light of the circumstances under which they 
were made, not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statement or 
omission is based upon the Seller Provided Information and agrees to 
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses 
reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or 
defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or 
action as such expenses are incurred.  The obligations of an Underwriter 
under this Section VIII (E) shall be in addition to any liability which such 
Underwriter may otherwise have.

     The procedures set forth in Section VIII (C) shall be equally applicable to
this Section VIII(E).

     F.   If the indemnification provided for in this Section VIII shall for any
reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
under Section VIII (A), (B) or (E) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or
liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the related Underwriters on the
other from the offering of the related Offered Certificates or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and the related Underwriter on the other with respect to the
statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability,
or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.

     The relative benefits of an Underwriter and the Company shall be deemed to
be in such proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the related Underwriter from time to time
in negotiated sales of the related Offered Certificates.

     The relative fault of an Underwriter and the Company shall be determined by
reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied or prepared by the Company or by such Underwriter, the intent of the
parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable
considerations.

     The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section VIII (F) were to be
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein.  The amount
paid

                                      26

<PAGE>

or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or 
liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 
VIII (F) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section VIII (F), 
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in 
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

     For purposes of this Section VIII, in no case shall any Underwriter (except
with respect to any document (other than the Computational Materials or ABS Term
Sheets) incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus
at the request of such Underwriter and except as may be provided in any
agreement among the Underwriters relating to the offering of the Offered
Certificates) be responsible for any amount in excess of (x) the amount received
by such Underwriter in connection with its resale of the Offered Certificates
over (y) the amount paid by such Underwriter to the Company for the Offered
Certificates by such Underwriter hereunder.  No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

     "Seller Provided Information" means any computer tape (or other information
provided to Underwriter for the purpose of preparation of the Prospectus
Supplement, Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets) furnished to any
Underwriter by the Company concerning the assets comprising the Trust.

     G.   The Underwriters confirm that the information set forth in the last
paragraph on the front cover page of the Prospectus Supplement, the information
under the heading "Underwriting" therein and the Computational Materials and ABS
Term Sheets are correct, and the Company acknowledges that such information
constitutes the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus.

     SECTION IX.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE 
DELIVERY.  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or contained in agreements delivered pursuant hereto or certificates
of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Underwriters or controlling persons thereof, or by or on behalf of the
Company and shall survive delivery of any Offered Certificates to the
Underwriters.

     SECTION X.   DEFAULT BY ONE OR MORE OF THE UNDERWRITERS.  If one or more of
the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Offered
Certificates shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Offered Certificates
which it is (or they are) obligated to purchase hereunder (the "Defaulted
Certificates"), then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right,
within 48 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the
non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not
less than all, of the Defaulted Certificates in such amounts as may be agreed
upon and upon the terms herein set forth (as used in this Agreement, the term
"Underwriter" includes any underwriter substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section X).  If, however, the Underwriters have not completed such arrangements
within such 48-hour period, then:

                                      27

<PAGE>

       (i)     if the aggregate original principal amount of Defaulted
     Certificates does not exceed 10% of the aggregate original principal amount
     of the Offered Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the
     non-defaulting Underwriters named in this Agreement shall be obligated to
     purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective
     obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all such
     non-defaulting Underwriters; or

      (ii)     if the aggregate original principal amount of Defaulted
     Certificates exceeds 10% of the aggregate original principal amount of the
     Offered Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, this
     Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of any
     non-defaulting Underwriters.

     No action taken pursuant to this Section X shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from the liability with respect to any default of such Underwriter
under this Agreement.

     In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section
X, each of the Underwriters and the Company shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven Business Days in order that any
required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected.

     SECTION XI.   TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.  The Underwriters may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time at or prior
to the Closing Date if any of the events or conditions described in Section
VI(Q) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing.  In the event of any such
termination, the provisions of Section VII, the indemnity agreement set forth in
Section VIII, and the provisions of Sections IX and XIV shall remain in effect.

     SECTION XII.   NOTICES.  All statements, requests, notices and agreements
hereunder shall be in writing, and:

          (i)  if to the Underwriters, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex
     or facsimile transmission to the Representative at its address set forth
     above; and

          (ii) if to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by overnight mail
     or facsimile transmission to 13111 Northwest Freeway, Suite 301, Houston,
     Texas 77040, Attn.:  General Counsel, Fax No. (713) 895-3805.

     SECTION XIII.   PERSONS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFIT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit and be binding upon the Underwriters and
the Company, and their respective successors.  This Agreement and the terms and
provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that
the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements contained in this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the person or persons,
if any, who control any of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act, and for the 

                                      28

<PAGE>

benefit of directors of the Company, officers of the Company who have signed 
the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company within the 
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Nothing in this Agreement is 
intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons 
referred to in this Section XIII, any legal or equitable right, remedy or 
claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

     SECTION XIV.   SURVIVAL.  The respective indemnities, representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this
Agreement, or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Certificates and
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.  The
provisions of Sections V, VII and VIII hereof shall survive the termination or
cancellation of this Agreement.

     SECTION XV.   DEFINITION OF THE TERM "BUSINESS DAY".  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Business Day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. is open for trading.

     SECTION XVI.   GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York without giving effect to the conflict of law rules thereof.

     The parties hereto submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New
York located in the City and County of New York, and appellate court from any
thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the related documents or the transactions
contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
the parties hereto hereby agree that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard or determined in New York State court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such federal court.

     SECTION XVII.   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed
counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     SECTION XVIII.   HEADINGS.  The headings herein are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect
the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

     SECTION XIX.   AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  This Agreement may be amended,
modified, altered or terminated, and any of its provisions waived, only in a
writing signed on behalf of the Company and the Representative.

Prudential Securities Incorporated,

One New York Plaza, 26th Floor
New York, New York 10292

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This Guaranty is made by EquiVantage Inc., a Delaware corporation with its
principal office at 13111 Northwest Freeway, Suite 300, Houston, Texas  77040

     As an inducement to the Representative and in consideration of EquiVantage

enforceability of any instrument evidencing any such obligations by reason of
the dissolution, liquidation, reorganization of the Company, or the commencement
against the Company of a case in bankruptcy or any other law affecting
creditors' rights generally or the seeking of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official.  EquiVantage Inc. hereby waives any
requirement that the Representative shall take legal action against the Company
before enforcing this Guaranty.  This Guaranty may be amended only by an
instrument in writing executed by the undersigned and accepted in writing by the
Representative.

     This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be performed in the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict of law rules thereof.

written.

      Section 2.3. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in
the following activities, and only such activities: (i) the issuance of the

suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or
connected therewith, including the investment of moneys in accordance with this

hereby appoints the Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the Startup

      Section 2.8. Miscellaneous REMIC Provisions.

      (a) The Trustee shall elect that the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC shall be treated as REMICs under Section 860D of the Code, as described in
Section 11.15. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the
administration of the Trust shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the
validity of such REMIC elections.

      (b) The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are hereby
designated as "regular interests" with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Class RU Certificates are hereby designated as the single Class of "residual
interest" with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC.

      (c) The Lower-Tier REMIC will be evidenced by (x) the Class LT-A, Class
LT-1, Class LT-2, Class LT-3, Class LT-4, Class LT-M, Class LT-AL, Class LT-5L
and Class LT- ML Certificates (the "Lower-Tier Regular Interests"), which will
be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the "regular
interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (y) the Class RL Certificates, which are
hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC (the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests, together with the Class RL Certificates, the
"Lower-Tier Interests"). The Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be recorded on
the records of the Lower-Tier REMIC as being issued to and held by the Trustee
on behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC.

            For purposes of this Section 2.8, (i) the "Group I Turbo Amount"
means the sum of (A) any Group I Subordination Deficit (including the portion of
a Group I Principal Carry-Forward Amount which relates to a shortfall in a
distribution of a Group I Subordination Deficit) and (B) any Group I
Subordination Increase Amount, to the extent of any Net Monthly Excess Cashflow
in respect of the Group I Monthly Remittance Amount and (ii) the "Net Group I
Turbo Amount" means the Group I Turbo Amount determined as if each Group I
Mortgage Loan accrued interest at a rate equal to the excess of its Coupon Rate
over the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate, Trustee Fee Rate and Premium Percentage.
Any Net Group I Turbo Amount that is attributable to interest on the Group I
Mortgage Loans will not be paid to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, but a
portion of the interest payable with respect to the Class LT-M Certificate which
equals 1% of the Net Group I Turbo Amount will be payable as a reduction of the
principal balances of the Class LT-1, Class LT-2, Class LT-3, and Class LT-4
Certificates in the same manner in which the Net Group I Turbo Amount is
allocated among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates,
respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class LT-M
Certificate). The amount of interest on the Group I Mortgage Loans equal to the
excess of the Group I Turbo Amount over the Net Group I Turbo Amount will be
payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests as follows: (i) 98% to the Class LT-A Certificates, (ii) 1% to the
Class LT-1, Class LT-2, Class LT-3 and Class LT-4 Certificates in the same
manner in which such excess is allocated among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates, respectively and (iii) 1% to the Class LT-M
Certificates (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class RL
Certificates). To the extent that interest on the Group I Mortgage Loans exceeds
the sum of interest allocated, as described below, to the Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4 and


                                       32
<PAGE>

Class B Certificates and the Group I Turbo Amount, such excess shall be added to
the amounts allocated below with respect to the Class LT-AL, Class LT-5L and
Class LT-ML Certificates. Principal payments on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall
be allocated 98% to the Class LT-A Certificate, 1% to the Class LT-M Certificate
and 1% to the Class LT-1, Class LT-2, Class LT-3 and Class LT-4 Certificates
until paid in full. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to the Class
LT-1, Class LT-2, Class LT-3 and Class LT-4 Certificates shall be apportioned
among such Classes in the same manner in which principal is payable with respect
to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates, respectively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 98% and 2% of any principal on the Group I
Mortgage Loans that are attributable to a Group I Subordination Reduction Amount
shall be allocated to the Class LT-A and Class LT-M Certificates, respectively,
until paid in full. Allocable Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be
allocated first to the Class RL Certificate until the balance thereof
attributable to accruals with respect to the Group I Turbo Amount is reduced to
zero, then 98% to the Class LT-A Certificates and 2% to the Class LT-M
Certificates unless an Allocable Loss causes a Group I Subordination Deficit,
and then such loss is allocated to the extent paid from interest as above, and
if not paid from interest, as if such loss were a principal payment on the Group
I Mortgage Loans.

            Similarly, for purposes of this Section 2.8, (i) the "Group II Turbo
Amount" means the sum of (A) any Group II Subordination Deficit (including the
portion of a Group II Principal Carry-Forward Amount which relates to a
shortfall in a distribution of a Group II Subordination Deficit) and (B) any
Group II Subordination Increase Amount, to the extent of any Net Monthly Excess
Cashflow in respect of the Group II Monthly Remittance Amount and (ii) the "Net
Group II Turbo Amount" means the Group II Turbo Amount determined as if each
Group II Mortgage Loan accrued interest at a rate equal to the excess of its
Coupon Rate over the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate, Trustee Fee Rate and Premium
Percentage. Any Net Group II Turbo Amount that is attributable to interest on
the Group II Mortgage Loans will not be paid to the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests, but a portion of the interest payable with respect to the Class LT-ML
Certificate which equals 1% of the Net Group II Turbo Amount will be payable to
the Class LT-5L Certificates (and will be accrued and added to principal on the
Class LT-ML Certificate). The amount of interest on the Group II Mortgage Loans
equal to the excess of the Group II Turbo Amount over the Net Group II Turbo
Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows: (i) 98% to the Class LT-AL
Certificates, (ii) 1% to the Class LT-5L Certificates and (iii) 1% to the Class
LT-ML Certificates (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class RL
Certificates). To the extent that interest on the Group II Mortgage Loans
exceeds the sum of interest allocated, as described below, to the Class A-5 and
Class B Certificates and the Group II Turbo Amount, such excess shall be added
to the amounts allocated above with respect to the Class LT-A, Class LT-1, Class
LT- 2, Class LT-3, Class LT-4 and Class LT-M Certificates. Principal payments on
the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated 98% to the Class LT-AL
Certificates, 1% to the Class LT- ML Certificates, and 1% to the Class LT-5L
Certificates until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 98% and 2% of
any principal payments on the Group II Mortgage Loans that are attributable to a
Group II Subordination Reduction Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-AL
and Class LT-ML Certificates, respectively, until paid in full. Allocable Losses
on the Group II Mortgage Loans will be allocated first to the Class RL
Certificate until the


                                       33
<PAGE>

balance thereof attributable to accruals with respect to the Group II Turbo
Amount is reduced to zero, then 98% to the Class LT-AL Certificates and 2% to
the Class LT-ML Certificates unless an Allocable Loss causes a Group II
Subordination Deficit, and then such loss is allocated to the extent paid from
interest as above, and if not paid from interest, as if such loss were a
principal payment on the Group II Mortgage Loans.

            The Lower-Tier Interests will have the following designations and
pass-through rates, and distributions of principal and interest thereon shall be
allocated to the Certificates in the following manner:

(1)   [Reserved]

(2)   The pass-through rate ("Pass-Through Rate") on these Lower-Tier Regular
      Interests shall at any time of determination equal the Weighted Net
      Average Coupon Rate in the related Mortgage Loan Group. If there are any
      prepayment interest shortfalls with respect to a Mortgage Loan Group not
      covered by Compensating Interest pursuant to Section 8.9(b), such
      shortfall will reduce the interest accrued on each corresponding
      Lower-Tier Regular Interest proportionally.

(3)   Principal attributable to the Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated to
      and apportioned among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4
      Certificates in the same proportion as principal is payable with respect
      to such Certificates pursuant to Section 7.5(b), except that a portion of
      such principal in an amount equal to the Group I Subordination Reduction
      Amount shall first be allocated to the Class B Certificates until the
      balance thereof is zero and then to the Class RL Certificate, and


                                       34
<PAGE>

      all principal will be allocated to the Class B Certificates after the
      Certificate Principal Balance of the Group I Certificates has been reduced
      to zero until the balance thereof is zero and then to the Class RL
      Certificate. Similarly, principal attributable to the Group II Mortgage
      Loans will be allocated to the Class A-5 Certificates in the same amount
      as principal is payable with respect to such Certificates pursuant to
      Section 7.5(b), except that a portion of such principal in an amount equal
      to the Group II Subordination Reduction Amount shall first be allocated to
      the Class B Certificates until the balance thereof is zero and then to the
      Class RL Certificate, and all principal will be allocated to the Class B
      Certificates after the Certificate Principal Balance of the Group II
      Certificates has been reduced to zero until the balance thereof is zero
      and then to the Class RL Certificate.

(4)   Except as provided in Note 5, interest on the Class LT-A Certificates,
      Class LT-1 Certificates, Class LT-2 Certificates, Class LT-3 Certificates,
      Class LT-4 Certificates and Class LT-M Certificates will be allocated
      among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates in
      the same proportion as interest is payable on such Certificates pursuant
      to Section 7.5(b). Similarly, interest on the Class LT-AL Certificates,
      Class LT-5L Certificates and Class LT-ML Certificates will be allocated to
      the Class A-5 Certificates, subject to Note 5.

(5)   (a)   Any interest with respect to this Lower-Tier Interest in excess of
            the product of (i) two times the weighted average coupon of the
            Class LT-1, LT-2, LT-3, LT-4 and LT-M Certificates, where each of
            such Classes, other than the Class LT-M Certificate, is first
            subject to a cap and floor equal to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
            A-3 and Class A-4 Pass-Through Rates, respectively, and the Class
            LT-M Certificate is subject to a cap equal to 0%, and (ii) the
            principal balance of this Lower-Tier Interest, shall not be
            allocated to the Class A Certificates but will be allocated to the
            Class B Certificates as a separate component.

      (b)   Any interest with respect to this Lower-Tier Interest in excess of
            the product of (i) two times the weighted average coupon of the
            Class LT-5L and LT-ML Certificates, where the Class LT-5L is first
            subject to a cap and floor equal to the Class A-5 Pass-Through Rate,
            and the Class LT-ML Certificate is subject to a cap equal to 0%, and
            (ii) the principal balance of this Lower-Tier Interest, shall not be
            allocated to the Class A Certificates but will be allocated to the
            Class B Certificates as a separate component.

(6)   On each Payment Date, available funds, if any, remaining in the
      Lower-Tier REMIC after payments of interest and principal, as designated

Class A-5 Certificates, the Payment Date in April, 2027; and for the Lower- Tier
Regular Interests, the Payment Date in April, 2027.

      Section 2.9. Grant of Security Interest.

      (a) Except with respect to the REMIC Provisions, it is the intention of
the parties hereto that the conveyance by the Sponsor of the Trust Estate to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall constitute a purchase and sale of such
Trust Estate and not a loan. In the event, however, that a court of competent
jurisdiction were to hold that the transaction evidenced hereby constitutes a
loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto


                                       35
<PAGE>

that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law,
and that the Sponsor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee, on behalf
of the Owners and the Certificate Insurer, a first priority perfected security
interest in all of the Sponsor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Trust Estate. The conveyance by the Sponsor of the Trust Estate to the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an
assumption by the Trustee or any Owner of any obligation of the Originators or
any other Person in connection with the Trust Estate.

      (b) The Sponsor and the Servicer shall take no action inconsistent with
the Trust's ownership of the Trust Estate and shall indicate or shall cause to
be indicated in their records and records held on their behalf that ownership of
each Mortgage Loan and the assets in the Trust Estate are held by the Trustee on
behalf of the Owners and the Certificate Insurer. In addition, the Sponsor and
the Servicer shall respond to any inquiries from third parties with respect to
ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other asset in the Trust Estate by stating
that it is not the owner of such asset and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan
or other Trust Estate asset is held by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust;
provided that this paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the Servicer
from appearing as lienholder of record of the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trustee for the purpose of receiving notices, executing release and modification
documents and taking other actions related to the Servicing of the Mortgage
Loans, so long as such actions are consistent with Article VIII hereof.

                                   ARTICLE III

                    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
                        OF THE SPONSOR AND THE SERVICER;
                  COVENANT OF SPONSOR TO CONVEY MORTGAGE LOANS

      Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor. The Sponsor
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, the Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and to the Owners as of the Startup Day that:

            (a) The Sponsor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in
      good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the
      nature of its business, or the properties owned or leased by it make such
      qualification necessary. The Sponsor has all requisite corporate power and
      authority to own and operate its properties, to carry out its business as
      presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to enter into and
      discharge its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative
      Documents to which it is a party.

            (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
      Operative Documents to which the Sponsor is a party by the Sponsor and its
      performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement and of the
      other Operative Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized
      by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Sponsor and will not
      violate the Sponsor's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or constitute
      a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or


                                       36
<PAGE>

      both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
      material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Sponsor is a
      party or by which the Sponsor is bound, or violate any statute or any
      order, rule or regulation of any court, governmental agency or body or
      other tribunal having jurisdiction over the Sponsor or any of its
      properties.

            (c) This Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which the
      Sponsor is a party, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
      the other parties hereto and thereto, each constitutes a valid, legal and
      binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable against it in accordance
      with the terms hereof and thereof, except as the enforcement hereof and
      thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
      rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered
      in a proceeding or action in equity or at law).

            (d) The Sponsor is not in default with respect to any order or
      decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
      state, municipal or governmental agency, which might have consequences
      that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
      other) or operations of the Sponsor or its properties or might have
      consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance
      hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

            (e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Sponsor's
      knowledge, threatened against the Sponsor which litigation might have
      consequences that would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or any
      other Operative Document to which it is a party, or issuing the
      Certificates, or that would materially and adversely affect the condition
      (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Sponsor or its properties or
      might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
      performance hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it
      is a party.

            (f) No certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or
      report delivered pursuant to the terms hereof by the Sponsor contains any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
      necessary to make the certificate, statement or report not misleading.

            (g) The statements contained in the Registration Statement which
      describe the Sponsor or matters or activities for which the Sponsor is
      responsible in accordance with the Operative Documents or which are
      attributed to the Sponsor therein are true and correct in all material
      respects, and the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact with respect to the Sponsor or omit to state
      a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
      make the statements contained therein with respect to the Sponsor not
      misleading. To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge and belief, the
      Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material
      fact required to be stated therein or


                                       37
<PAGE>

      omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
      to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

            (h) All actions, approvals, consents, waivers, exemptions,
      variances, franchises, orders, permits, authorizations, rights and
      licenses required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, by
      or from any federal, state or other governmental authority or agency
      (other than any such actions, approvals, etc. under any state securities
      laws, real estate syndication or "Blue Sky" statutes, as to which the
      Sponsor makes no such representation or warranty), that are necessary or
      advisable in connection with the purchase and sale of the Certificates and
      the execution and delivery by the Sponsor of the Operative Documents to
      which it is a party, have been duly taken, given or obtained, as the case
      may be, are in full force and effect on the date hereof, are not subject
      to any pending proceedings or appeals (administrative, judicial or
      otherwise) and either the time within which any appeal therefrom may be
      taken or review thereof may be obtained has expired or no review thereof
      may be obtained or appeal therefrom taken, and are adequate to authorize
      the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
      the other Operative Documents on the part of the Sponsor and the
      performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement and
      such of the other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

            (i) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other
      Operative Documents to which the Sponsor is a party are in the ordinary
      course of business of the Sponsor.

            (j) The Sponsor received fair consideration and reasonably
      equivalent value in exchange for the sale of the interests in the Mortgage
      Loans evidenced by the Certificates.

            (k) The Sponsor did not sell any interest in any Mortgage Loan
      evidenced by the Certificates with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
      any of its respective creditors.

            (l) The Sponsor is solvent and the Sponsor will not be rendered
      insolvent as a result of the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust or
      the sale of the Certificates.

      It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee.

      Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Certificate
Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 3.1 which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 30 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of breach the Sponsor shall cure such breach
in all material respects; provided, however, that if the Sponsor can demonstrate
to the


                                       38
<PAGE>

reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer that it is diligently
pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be extended with the written
approval of the Certificate Insurer and with notice to each of Moody's and S&P.

      Section 3.2. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, the Sponsor, the
Certificate Insurer and to the Owners as of the Startup Day that:

            (a) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is, or a
      Sub-Servicer is, in compliance with the laws of each state in which any
      Property is located to the extent necessary to enable it to perform its
      obligations hereunder and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
      each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, or the properties
      owned or leased by it make such qualification necessary. The Servicer has
      all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its
      properties, to carry out its business as presently conducted and as
      proposed to be conducted and to enter into and discharge, either directly
      or through Sub-Servicers, its obligations under this Agreement and the
      other Operative Documents to which it is a party. The Servicer has equity
      of at least $10,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles. Any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Servicer
      will have all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate
      its properties, to carry out its business as presently conducted and as
      proposed to be conducted.

            (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and
      its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, any
      Sub-Servicing Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which it is a
      party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
      part of the Servicer and will not violate the Servicer's Articles of
      Incorporation 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 contract, agreement or other
      instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer is
      bound or violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any
      court, governmental agency or body or other tribunal having jurisdiction
      over the Servicer or any of its properties.

            (c) This Agreement, any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the other
      Operative Documents to which the Servicer is a party, assuming due
      authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and
      thereto, each constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the
      Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof,
      except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
      creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether
      considered in a proceeding or action in equity or at law).

            (d) The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or
      decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
      state, municipal or


                                       39
<PAGE>

      governmental agency, which might have consequences that would materially
      and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of
      the Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would
      materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder, under any
      Sub-Servicing Agreement and under the other Operative Documents to which
      the Servicer is a party.

            (e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's
      knowledge, threatened against the Servicer which litigation might have
      consequences that would prohibit its entering into this Agreement, any
      Sub-Servicing Agreement or any other Operative Document to which it is a
      party or that would materially and adversely affect the condition
      (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Servicer or its properties
      or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
      performance hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which the
      Servicer is a party.

            (f) No certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or
      report delivered pursuant to the terms hereof by the Servicer contains any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
      necessary to make the certificate, statement or report not misleading.

            (g) The statements contained in the Registration Statement which
      describe matters or activities for which the Servicer is responsible in
      accordance with the Operative Documents or which are attributable to the
      Servicer, either directly or through any Sub-Servicer, therein are true
      and correct in all material respects, and the Registration Statement does
      not contain any untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the
      Servicer or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements contained therein with respect to the
      Servicer not misleading. To the best of the Servicer's knowledge and
      belief, the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement
      of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not
      misleading.

            (h) The Servicing Fee is a "current (normal) servicing fee rate" as
      that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 65
      issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Neither the Servicer
      nor any affiliate thereof will report on any financial statements any part
      of the Servicing Fee as an adjustment to the sales price of the Mortgage
      Loans.

            (i) All actions, approvals, consents, waivers, exemptions,
      variances, franchises, orders, permits, authorizations, rights and
      licenses required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, by
      or from any federal, state or other governmental authority or agency
      (other than any such actions, approvals, etc. under any state securities
      laws, real estate syndication or "Blue Sky" statutes, as to which the
      Servicer makes no such representation or warranty), that are necessary or
      advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by the Servicer of
      the Operative Documents to which it is a party, have been duly taken,
      given or obtained,


                                       40
<PAGE>

      as the case may be, are in full force and effect on the date hereof and on
      the Startup Day, are not subject to any pending proceedings or appeals
      (administrative, judicial or otherwise) and either the time within which
      any appeal therefrom may be taken or review thereof may be obtained has
      expired or no review thereof may be obtained or appeal therefrom taken,
      and are adequate to authorize the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents on the
      part of the Servicer and the performance by the Servicer, either directly
      or through a Sub-Servicer, of its obligations under this Agreement, any
      Sub-Servicing Agreement and such of the other Operative Documents to which
      it is a party.

            (j) The collection practices used by the Servicer, or any
      Sub-Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loans directly serviced by it
      have been, in all material respects, legal, proper, prudent and customary
      in the mortgage loan servicing business.

            (k) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
      ordinary course of business of the Servicer.

      It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.2 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee.

      Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Certificate
Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 3.2 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 30
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects and, upon the Servicer's continued
failure to cure such breach, may thereafter be removed by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 8.20 hereof; provided, however, that if the Servicer can demonstrate
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer that it is diligently
pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be extended with the written
approval of the Certificate Insurer and notice to each of Moody's and S&P.

      Section 3.3. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor with Respect to
the Mortgage Loans.

      (a) The Sponsor makes the following representations and warranties as to
the Mortgage Loans on which the Trustee relies in accepting the Mortgage Loans
in trust and executing and authenticating the Certificates and on which the
Certificate Insurer relies in issuing the Certificate Insurance Policy. Such
representations and warranties speak as of the Startup Day (unless otherwise
specified), but shall survive the sale, transfer, and assignment of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust:

            (i)   The information with respect to each Mortgage Loan set forth
                  in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans is true and correct as of
                  the Cut-Off Date;


                                       41
<PAGE>

            (ii)  All of the original or certified documentation set forth in
                  Section 3.5 (including all material documents related thereto)
                  with respect to each Mortgage Loan has been or will be
                  delivered to the Trustee on the Startup Day, or as otherwise
                  provided in Section 3.5;

            (iii) Each Mortgage Loan is being serviced by the Servicer or a
                  Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with
                  the Servicer and qualified to service the Mortgage Loans
                  serviced by it;

            (iv)  Each Mortgage Loan conforms, and all such Mortgage Loans in
                  the aggregate conform, in all material respects to the
                  description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement;

            (v)   The credit underwriting guidelines applicable to each Mortgage
                  Loan conform in all material respects to the description
                  thereof set forth in the Prospectus; and

            (vi)  Except as disclosed in the Master Loan Transfer Agreement and
                  the related Conveyance Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans
                  are subject to Section 32 of the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act.

            (vii) Each Mortgage Loan, as of the Startup Day, satisfies either
                  the test set out in paragraph (1) or the test set out in
                  paragraph (2) below.

                  (1)   The fair market value of the interest in real property
                        securing such Mortgage Loan

                        (A)   was at least equal to 80 percent of the adjusted
                              issue price of the Mortgage Loan at the time the
                              Mortgage Loan was originated (or, if later, the
                              time the Mortgage Loan was significantly
                              modified); or

                        (B)   is at least equal to 80 percent of the adjusted
                              issue price of the Mortgage Loan on the Closing
                              Date.

                  For purposes of this paragraph (1), the fair market value of
                  the real property interest must be first reduced by the amount
                  of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to
                  the Mortgage Loan being tested, and must be further reduced by
                  a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the
                  obligation being tested, in each case before the percentages
                  set forth in (1)(A) and (1)(B) are determined. The adjusted
                  issue price of a Mortgage Loan is its issue price plus the
                  amount of accrued original issue discount, if any, as of the
                  date of determination; or


                                       42
<PAGE>

                  (2)   Substantially all of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan
                        were used to acquire or to improve or protect an
                        interest in real property that, at the origination date,
                        is the only security for the Mortgage Loan. For purposes
                        of this test, loan guarantees made by the United States
                        or any state (or any political subdivision, agency, or
                        instrumentality of the United States or of any state),
                        or other third party credit enhancement are not viewed
                        as additional security for a loan. An Mortgage Loan is
                        not considered to be secured by property other than real
                        property solely because the obligor is personally liable
                        on the obligation. For this purpose only, substantially
                        all of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan means at least
                        90 percent of the gross proceeds.

      (b) The Sponsor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Owners of the Certificates and the Certificate Insurer all of its right, title
and interest (but none of its obligations, other than those set forth herein) in
respect of the Master Transfer Agreement, except for such rights to
indemnification thereunder for losses actually incurred only by the Sponsor.
Insofar as the Master Transfer Agreement provides for representations and
warranties and remedies thereunder for any breach of such representations and
warranties, the remedies with respect to such breaches may be enforced by the
Servicer or by the Trustee on behalf of the Owners and the Certificate Insurer
against the Person making such representation and warranty, and any rights to
indemnification for any breaches of such representations and warranties are
hereby assigned by the Sponsor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of
the Certificates and the Certificate Insurer, except for such rights to
indemnification thereunder only for losses actually incurred only by the
Sponsor. Upon the discovery by the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
made in the Master Transfer Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the
Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and each of Moody's and
S&P. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Originator of such breach and
request that the Originator cure such breach or take the actions described in
Section 3.4(a) hereof within the time periods required thereby, and (i) if the
Originator does not cure such breach in all material respects, the Sponsor shall
cure such breach or take such actions and (ii) if the Originator does not
purchase such Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall purchase such Mortgage Loan. The
obligations of the Sponsor or Servicer, as the case may be, set forth herein
with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole obligations of the Sponsor and of the
Servicer in respect of such breach.

      Section 3.4. Covenants of Sponsor to Take Certain Actions with Respect to
the Mortgage Loans In Certain Situations.

      (a) Upon the earliest to occur of the Sponsor's discovery, its receipt of
notice of breach from any one of the other parties hereto or from the
Certificate Insurer or such time as a breach of any Representation and Warranty
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the
Certificate Insurer as set forth above, the Sponsor shall promptly cure (or
cause the Originator to cure) such breach in all material respects or it shall
(or shall cause the Originator to), subject to the further requirements of this
paragraph, on the second Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery, receipt
of notice or such other time (i) substitute in lieu of each Mortgage Loan in the
related Mortgage Loan Group which has given rise to the requirement for action
by the Sponsor a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution
Amount applicable thereto, together with the aggregate amount of all
unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances
theretofore made with respect to such Mortgage Loan, to the Servicer for deposit
in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which
purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal
and Interest Account. In connection with any such proposed purchase or
substitution, the Sponsor at its expense, shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel experienced in
federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a proposed purchase or
substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would
jeopardize the REMIC status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC as a REMIC, and unless otherwise directed by the Certificate Insurer the
Sponsor shall only be required to take either such action to the extent such
action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would not
jeopardize the status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as
a REMIC. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure
the defect, or substitute for, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a
Representation or Warranty is untrue in any material respect and has not been
remedied shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Owners, the Trustee
or the Certificate Insurer.

      (b) In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is delivered by
the Sponsor to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.3, Section 3.4 or Section 3.6
hereof, the Originator and the Sponsor shall be obligated to take the actions
described in Section 3.4(a) with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
upon the discovery by any of the Owners, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer, or the Trustee that the Representations and Warranties
applicable to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage are untrue in any material
respect on the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust
such that the interests of the Owners or the Certificate Insurer in the related
Qualified Replacement Mortgage are materially and adversely affected; provided,
however, that for the purposes of this subsection (b) any of the Representations
and Warranties referring to items "as of the Cut-Off Date" or "as of the Startup
Day" shall be deemed to refer to such items as of the date such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust.

      (c) The Sponsor acknowledges that a breach of any of the Representations
and Warranties (x) relating to marketability of title sufficient to transfer
unencumbered title to


                                       44
<PAGE>

a Mortgage Loan, (y) relating to enforceability of the Mortgage Loan against the
related Mortgagor or Property or (z) set forth in clause (a)(v) of Section 3.3
above constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty which "materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer" in
such Mortgage Loan.

      (d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 3.4 shall survive delivery of the respective
Mortgage Loans (including Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loans) to the Trustee.

      (e) On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Certificate
Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying that the Mortgage Loans identified
on the schedule attached thereto are the only Mortgage Loans for which the
related Properties are located within those counties (the "Affected Counties")
within the States of Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana that have been
designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having been
affected by floods occurring in the latter part of 1996 and through the Closing
Date. No later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date, the
Certificate Insurer will randomly select from such schedule ten Mortgage Loans
(the "Sample Loans") and notify the Servicer in writing of the identity of the
selected Mortgage Loans. Within 60 days following receipt of the written notice
identifying the Sample Loans, the Servicer shall (i) undertake, or cause to be
undertaken, a physical inspection of the Properties securing the Sample Loans
and the preparation of an inspection report with respect to such inspections;
and (ii) furnish an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the Certificate
Insurer and the Sponsor identifying, on the basis of the information in the
inspection reports, those Properties (the "Breaching Properties") as to which
the physical condition thereof does not comply with the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5(b)(xi) of the Master Transfer Agreement. No
provision of this subsection shall be deemed to modify, reduce, expand or
otherwise affect the obligations of the Sponsor pursuant to Sections 3.3(b) or
3.4(a) of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

      Section 3.5. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

      (a) The Sponsor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
hereby transfers, sells, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys without
recourse, to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, all right, title and interest
of the Sponsor in and to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Schedule of Mortgage
Loans delivered by the Sponsor on the Startup Day, all its right, title and
interest in and to payments of principal and interest (including Prepaid
Installments) due after the Cut-Off Date, and all payments of principal
collected after the Cut-Off Date, together with all of its right, title and
interest in and to all related Insurance Policies. The transfer by the Sponsor
of the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust is absolute and is intended by the Owners and all parties
hereto to be treated as a sale by the Sponsor.

      (b) In connection with the transfer, sale and assignment of the Mortgage
Loans, the Sponsor agrees to:


                                       45
<PAGE>

            (i)   cause to be delivered, on the Startup Day with respect to the
                  Mortgage Loans, without recourse, to the Trustee (A) the
                  original Notes, endorsed without recourse by the related
                  Originator "For value received, I hereby transfer, endorse and
                  assign to Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as
                  Trustee for EquiVantage Home Equity Loan Trust 1997-1, the
                  Note and Deed of Trust or Mortgage securing the same, so far
                  as the same pertains to said Note, without recourse"; (B)
                  originals or certified copies of all intervening assignments,
                  if any, showing a complete chain of assignment from
                  origination to the Originator, including warehousing
                  assignments, with evidence of recording or certification of
                  filing for recordation thereon; (C) originals of all
                  assumption and modification agreements, if any; (D) either:
                  (1) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon,
                  (2) a true and accurate copy of the Mortgage where the
                  original Mortgage has been transmitted for recording, until
                  such time as the original Mortgage is returned by the public
                  recording office, or (3) a copy of the Mortgage certified by
                  the public recording office in those instances where the
                  original recorded Mortgage has been lost; (E) the original
                  mortgage title insurance policy, title commitment, binder or
                  attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title; provided
                  that, in the event a copy of any mortgage, title policy or
                  title commitment was originally delivered to the Trustee
                  pursuant to this Section 3.5(b)(i)(E), the Sponsor shall cause
                  the related original mortgage, title policy, or title
                  commitment to be delivered to the Trustee within one year of
                  the Startup Day; and (F) an assignment in blank of each
                  Mortgage executed by the record holder of such Mortgage, which
                  assignment shall be in recordable form;

            (ii)  cause, within 30 days following the Startup Day, assignments
                  of the Mortgages from the Sponsor or the related Originator,
                  if the Originator is the record holder of such Mortgage to
                  "Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee of
                  EquiVantage Home Equity Loan Trust 1997-1 under the Pooling
                  and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 1997", to be
                  submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions
                  wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien
                  thereof as against creditors of or purchasers from the Sponsor
                  to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust; provided, however, that
                  the Sponsor shall not be required to record an assignment for
                  any Mortgage (x) until such original recording information is
                  available or (y) as to which the Sponsor furnishes, within
                  such 30-day period, at the Sponsor's expense, an opinion of
                  counsel to the Trustee ("Assignment Opinion"), or other
                  documentation acceptable to the Trustee and the Certificate
                  Insurer, which opines or provides evidence that recording is
                  not necessary to perfect the rights of the Trustee in the
                  related Mortgage (in form and substance satisfactory to the
                  Certificate Insurer, Moody's and S&P). Following the
                  expiration of


                                       46
<PAGE>

                  such 30-day period and except with respect to Mortgages
                  covered by the Assignment Opinions, the Sponsor shall cause to
                  be recorded a Mortgage assignment for any Mortgage for which
                  original recording information is subsequently received by the
                  related Originator, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such
                  Mortgage assignment to the Trustee; and

            (iii) cause, within five Business Days following the expiration of
                  such 30- day period referred to in clause (ii) above, to be
                  delivered to the Trustee certified copies of all Mortgage
                  assignments submitted for recording, together with a list
                  (which list also shall be delivered to the Certificate
                  Insurer) of (x) all Mortgages for which no Mortgage assignment
                  has yet been submitted for recording by the Sponsor and (y)
                  reasons why the Sponsor has not yet submitted such Mortgage
                  assignments for recording. With respect to any Mortgage
                  assignment set forth on the aforementioned list which has not
                  been submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of
                  original recording information or with respect to Mortgages
                  covered by the Assignment Opinions, the Trustee shall make an
                  immediate demand on the Sponsor to cause such Mortgage
                  assignments to be recorded, and shall inform the Certificate
                  Insurer of the Sponsor's failure to cause such Mortgage
                  assignments to be recorded. Thereafter, the Trustee shall,
                  with respect to any assignment on the aforementioned list,
                  upon the request of the Certificate Insurer (which request
                  shall be made only if (i) applicable law requires such
                  recordation to perfect the rights of the Trustee in the
                  related Mortgage or (ii) the Certificate Insurer has removed
                  the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.20), complete and cause to
                  be submitted for recording the assignment of Mortgage referred
                  to in clause (F) of Section 3.5(b)(i).

      In furtherance of the foregoing, the Sponsor agrees to cause to be
delivered on the Startup Day an original executed power of attorney, executed by
the Sponsor, substantially in the form of Exhibit L, authorizing the Trustee to
complete and record the assignments of Mortgage described in clause (F) of
Section 3.5(b)(i) above, and if necessary, to execute a new assignment of
Mortgage for any Mortgage Loan if the original assignment of Mortgage delivered
by the Sponsor to the Trustee is not in recordable form at such time as the
assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded by the Trustee.

      All Mortgage assignments as to which an acceptable Assignment Opinion has
not been delivered shall be accomplished within twelve months of the Startup Day
(including any assignments not originally recorded due to lack of recordation
information), unless the Certificate Insurer agrees to extend such period, at
the expense of the Originator or of the Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 3.5, in those instances as identified by the
Sponsor where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, the
assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the Mortgage after it
has been recorded, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations


                                       47
<PAGE>

hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage, such
assignment or assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office
to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.

      If the Servicer is removed pursuant to Section 8.20, the Trustee or other
successor Servicer shall submit all assignments for recording; the costs of such
assignments shall be paid by the Servicer.

      Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Trustee shall be kept
in the related File.

      The Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Financing Statements have been
duly submitted for filing. From time to time hereafter, the Servicer shall take
or cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to
perfect and protect the Trust's and the Owners' interests in the Files against
all other Persons, including, without limitation, the filing of financing
statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements.

      (c) In the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full on or
after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, the Sponsor, in lieu of the
foregoing, will deliver within 15 Business Days after the Startup Day to the
Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set forth in
Exhibit D.

      (d) The Sponsor shall transfer, sell, assign, set over and otherwise
convey without recourse, to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust all right, title
and interest of the Sponsor in and to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage
delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by the Sponsor pursuant to
Section 3.3, Section 3.4 or Section 3.6 hereof and all its right, title and
interest to unscheduled payments of principal (including Prepayments) collected
on and after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date, together with all payments
of principal collected and interest due after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off
Date, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all related Insurance
Policies.

      (e) As to each Mortgage Loan released from the Trust in connection with
the repurchase thereof or conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage
therefor, the Sponsor will prepare and deliver to the Trustee an appropriate
instrument for execution by the Trustee, and the Trustee will transfer, assign,
set over and otherwise convey without representation, warranty or recourse, on
the Sponsor's order, all of its right, title and interest in and to such
released Mortgage Loan and all the Trust's right, title and interest to
unscheduled payments of principal (including Prepayments) collected on and after
the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date, together with all payments of principal
collected and interest due after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date, and
all of its right, title and interest in and to all related Insurance Policies.

      (f) In connection with any transfer, sale and assignment of a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor agrees
to cause to be delivered to the Trustee the items described in Section 3.5(b) on
the date of such transfer,


                                       48
<PAGE>

sale and assignment or, if a later delivery time is permitted by Section 3.5(b),
then no later than such later delivery time.

      (g) As to each Mortgage Loan released from the Trust in connection with
the repurchase thereof or conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage the
Trustee shall deliver on the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and on the order of the Sponsor (i) the original Note, or the certified
copy, relating thereto, if the certified copy is a legal substitute for an
otherwise unavailable original Note endorsed without recourse, to the Sponsor
and (ii) such other documents as constituted the File with respect thereto.

      (h) If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of recording, or
is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a defect therein, the
Sponsor shall prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case
may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.

      (i) The Sponsor shall reflect on its records that the Mortgage Loans have
been sold to the Trust.

      (j) The Sponsor shall deliver to the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and
the Trustee a schedule of the Escrow Loans.

      (k) With respect to each Escrow Loan, the Sponsor shall deliver to the
Trustee within one year after the Closing Date the following documents related
to such Escrow Loan: (i) escrow agreement, (ii) disbursement ledger, (iii)
Mortgagor's certification as to completion, (iv) if applicable, contractor's
certification as to completion and (v) if applicable, appraiser's unqualified
certification as to final completion pursuant to which the appraiser (or, if the
original appraiser has since died, retired, has been certified as an
incompetent, has gone insane or otherwise is unable to perform, a suitable
substitute appraiser) confirms that the Appraised Value of the Property upon
completion of the improvement (disregarding intervening changes, if any, in
market value) is at least equal to such appraiser's original estimate of such
Appraised Value (each such document, a "Required Escrow Document"). The Trustee
shall hold each Required Escrow Document so delivered in the related File. No
later than the end of the thirteenth month following the Startup Day, the
Trustee shall report to the Sponsor, the Originator, the Servicer and the
Certificate Insurer whether all Required Escrow Documents relating to the Escrow
Loans have been received by the Trustee. If such report indicates that any
Required Escrow Document has not been received, the Sponsor shall be required to
take the actions set forth in Section 3.6(b) if the lack of such Required Escrow
Document materially and adversely affects the interest of the Owners or of the
Certificate Insurer in the related Escrow Loan.

      Section 3.6. Acceptance by Trustee; Certain Substitutions of Mortgage
Loans; Certification by Trustee.

      (a) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Startup Day an
acknowledgment of receipt of the Notes delivered by the Sponsor in the form
attached as


                                       49
<PAGE>

Exhibit E hereto, and declares that it will hold the related File, together with
any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets
included in the definition of Trust Estate and delivered to the Trustee, as
Trustee in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the
benefit of the Owners and the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee further agrees to
review the documents contained in each such File and any other documents
delivered by the Sponsor within 90 days after the Startup Day (or within 90 days
with respect to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage after the assignment thereof)
and to deliver to the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer a pool
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "Pool
Certification") to the effect that, except as described in such certification,
as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans (other than
any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in
such Pool Certification as not covered by such Pool Certification), (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered and relate to such
Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing
documents, the information set forth on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans
accurately reflects the information set forth in the related File; provided,
however, that such Pool Certification shall not be delivered prior to 90 days
after the Startup Day. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face, nor shall the Trustee be under any duty to determine independently
whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or modification
agreements with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

      (b) If the Trustee during such 90-day period finds any document
constituting a part of a File which is not properly executed, has not been
received within the specified period, or is unrelated to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans, or that any Mortgage Loan does not
conform in a material respect to the description thereof as set forth in the
Schedule of Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Sponsor and
the Certificate Insurer. In performing any such review, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on the Sponsor as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
Trustee's review of the items delivered by the Sponsor pursuant to Section
3.5(b)(i) is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section
3.5(b)(i) have been executed and received, relate to the Files identified in the
Schedule of Mortgage Loans and conform materially to the description thereof in
the Schedule of Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor agrees to use reasonable efforts to
remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a File of which it
is so notified by the Trustee. If, however, within 60 days after the Trustee's
notice to it respecting such defect the Sponsor has not remedied or caused to be
remedied the defect and the defect materially and adversely affects the interest
in the related Mortgage Loan of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer, the
Sponsor will (or will cause the Originator or an affiliate of the Sponsor to) on
the next succeeding Remittance Date (i) substitute in lieu of such Mortgage Loan
a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and, deliver the Substitution Amount applicable
thereto to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or
(ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase
Price thereof, which purchase


                                       50
<PAGE>

price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account. In connection with any such proposed purchase or substitution
the Sponsor shall cause at the Sponsor's expense to be delivered promptly to the
Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel experienced in
federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a proposed purchase or
substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would
jeopardize the status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as
a REMIC, and the Sponsor shall only be required to take either such action to
the extent such action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the
Trust or would not jeopardize the status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC. Within 375 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer a final certification (the "Final
Certification") evidencing the completeness of the Files acquired by the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust. To the extent that the Final Certification reflects any
exceptions, the Seller and Trustee shall continue to deliver to the Certificate
Insurer a monthly certification reflecting the status of any exceptions until
all such exceptions have been cured.

      Section 3.7.Cooperation Procedures.

      (a) The Sponsor shall, in connection with the delivery of each Qualified
Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee, provide the Trustee with the information
set forth in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans with respect to such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage.

      (b) The Sponsor, the Servicer and the Trustee covenant to provide each
other, the Certificate Insurer and each of Moody's and S&P with all data and
information required to be provided by them hereunder at the times required
hereunder, and additionally covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in
providing any additional information required by any of them, the Certificate
Insurer or either Moody's and S&P in connection with their respective duties
hereunder.

      (c) The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may
be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by third parties as a
consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder, and the Servicer
hereby expressly releases, indemnifies and agrees to hold the Trustee harmless
from any losses to the Trustee or Trust Fund resulting therefrom; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
to the Servicer any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document
which is delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and contains
sufficient information to enable the Trustee to identify it as pertaining to a
Mortgage Loan.

      (d) The Trustee shall file on behalf of the Trust all reports required to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any exchange or

                     CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

      Section 5.1. Terms.

      (a) The Certificates are pass-through securities having the rights
described therein and herein. Notwithstanding references herein or therein with
respect to the Certificates as to "principal" and "interest" no debt of any
Person is represented thereby, nor are the Certificates or the underlying Notes
guaranteed by any Person (except that the Notes may be recourse to the
Mortgagors thereof to the extent permitted by law and except for the rights of
the Trustee with respect to the Certificate Insurance Policy). Distributions on
the Certificates are payable solely from payments received on or with respect to
the Mortgage Loans (other than the Servicing Fees), moneys in the Principal and
Interest Account and the Certificate Account, except as otherwise provided
herein, from earnings on moneys and the proceeds of property held as a part of
the Trust Estate upon the occurrence of certain events, from Insured Payments,
Delinquency Advances and Compensating Interest made by the Servicer or otherwise
held by the Servicer in Trust for the Owners, except as otherwise provided
herein. Each Certificate entitles the Owner thereof to receive monthly on each
Payment Date, in order of priority of distributions with respect to such Class
of Certificates, a specified portion of such payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in the related


                                       52
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan Group, certain related Insured Payments, pro rata in accordance
with such Owner's Percentage Interest.

      (b) Each Owner is required, and hereby agrees, to return to the Trustee
any Certificate with respect to which the Trustee has made the final
distribution due thereon. Any such Certificate as to which the Trustee has made
the final distribution thereon shall be deemed canceled and shall no longer be
Outstanding for any purpose of this Agreement, whether or not such Certificate
is ever returned to the Trustee.

      Section 5.2. Forms. The Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates,
Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class B
Certificates, Class RL Certificates and Class RU Certificates shall be in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, B, C-1
and C-2 hereof, respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Agreement or as may in the Sponsor's judgment be necessary, appropriate or
convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may
have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any
applicable securities laws.

      Section 5.3. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. Each Certificate
shall be executed on behalf of the Trust, by the manual or facsimile signature
of one of the Trustee's Authorized Officers and shall be authenticated by the
manual signature of one of the Trustee's Authorized Officers.

      Certificates bearing the signature of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Trustee shall, upon proper authentication by the Trustee,
bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to hold such offices prior to the execution and delivery of such Certificates or
did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of such Certificates.

      The initial Certificates shall be dated as of the Startup Day and
delivered at the Closing to the parties specified in Section 4.2 hereof.

      No Certificate shall be valid until executed and authenticated as set
forth above.

      Section 5.4. Registration and Transfer of Certificates.

      (a) The Trustee, as registrar, shall cause to be kept a register (the
"Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
the registration of transfer of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby appointed
registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers of
Certificates as herein provided. The Owners shall have the right to inspect the
Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof.

      (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 hereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office designated as the
location of the Register, the


                                       53
<PAGE>

Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like Class and in
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificate so surrendered.

      (c) At the option of any Owner, Certificates of any Class owned by such
Owner may be exchanged for other Certificates authorized of like Class, tenor
and a like aggregate Certificate Principal Balance and bearing numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office designated as the location of the Register. Whenever any
Certificate is so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Certificate or Certificates which the Owner making
the exchange is entitled to receive.

      (d) All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates shall be valid evidence of the same ownership interests in the
Trust and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Certificates
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

      (e) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

      (f) No service charge shall be made to an Owner for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates; any
other expenses in connection with such transfer or exchange shall be an expense
of the Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for any expenses in connection
with the issuance of Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.4.

      (g) It is intended that the Class A Certificates be registered so as to
participate in a global book-entry system with the Depository, as set forth
herein. The Class A Certificates shall, except as otherwise provided in the next
paragraph, be initially issued in the form of a single fully registered Class A
Certificate with a denomination equal to the related Original Class A
Certificate Principal Balance. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such
Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Register in the name of Cede &
Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository.

      The minimum denominations shall be $1,000 for any Class A Certificate, and
10% Percentage Interest for any Class B Certificate or any Residual Certificate.

      The Sponsor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver
the Representation Letter with the Depository.

      With respect to Class A Certificates registered in the Register in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation
to Direct or Indirect Participants or


                                   54
<PAGE>

beneficial owners for which the Depository holds Class A Certificates from time
to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence,
the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of
the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect
to the ownership interest in the Class A Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any
Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered
Owner of a Class A Certificate as shown in the Register, of any notice with
respect to the Class A Certificates or (iii) the payment to any Direct or
Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Owner of a
Class A Certificate as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Class A Certificates. No Person
other than a registered Owner of a Class A Certificate as shown in the Register
shall receive a certificate evidencing such Class A Certificate.

      Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written notice to the
effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place
of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment
of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered Owners of Class
A Certificates appearing as registered Owners in the registration books
maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on a Record Date, the name
"Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the
Depository.

      (h) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Sponsor advises the
Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the
Class A Certificates and the Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor
or (ii) the Sponsor at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository, the Class A Certificates shall no longer be restricted
to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor
nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that time, the Sponsor may determine
that the Class A Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited
with a successor depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be
acceptable to the Sponsor, or such depository's agent or designee but, if the
Sponsor does not select such alternative global book-entry system, then the
Class A Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names registered
Owners of Class A Certificates transferring Class A Certificates shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

      (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
so long as any Class A Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or interest on such
Class A Certificates as the case may be and all notices with respect to such
Class A Certificates as the case may be shall be made and given, respectively,
in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.

      Section 5.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) in the case of any mutilated Certificate, such mutilated
Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, there shall be first delivered to the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by it to hold
the Trust and the Trustee


                                   55
<PAGE>

harmless (provided, that with respect to an Owner which is an insurance company
of investment grade credit rating, a letter of indemnity furnished by it shall
be sufficient for this purpose), then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee
that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

      Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; any other expenses
in connection with such issuance shall be an expense of the Trust. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any expenses in connection with the issuance of
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.5.

      Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for or
in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute
evidence of a substitute interest in the Trust, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other
Certificates of the same Class duly issued hereunder and such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose.

      The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

      Section 5.6. Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate is registered as the Owner of such Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions with respect to such Certificate and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer nor any of
their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      Section 5.7. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. No
Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificate
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement. All canceled Certificates may be held or destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with its standard policy. The Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and any Originator may at any time deliver any Certificate to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee is hereby authorized to cancel any
such Certificate.

      Section 5.8. Limitation on Transfer of Ownership Rights.

      (a) No sale or other transfer of any Class A Certificate shall be made to
the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer
or the Trust.


                                   56
<PAGE>

      (b) No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of any
Residual Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting from
a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) shall be made to a
Disqualified Organization or agent of a Disqualified Organization. The transfer,
sale or other disposition of any Residual Certificate (whether pursuant to a
purchase, a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement
or otherwise) to a Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to be of no legal
force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall not be deemed to be an
Owner for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions on such Residual Certificate. Furthermore, in no event shall the
Trustee accept surrender for transfer, registration of transfer, or register the
transfer, of any Residual Certificate nor authenticate and make available any
new Residual Certificate unless the Trustee has received an affidavit from the
proposed transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Each
holder of any Residual Certificate, by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed
for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section 5.8(b).

      (c) No other sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of a
Unregistered Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and
laws. In the event such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee or the Sponsor
shall require a written opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Sponsor that such transfer may be made pursuant to
an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from
said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion
of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Sponsor, and (ii) the
Trustee shall require the Transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Sponsor certifying to the
Trustee and the Sponsor the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee. The Owner of a Unregistered
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Sponsor 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.

      (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or other transfer of record or
beneficial ownership of a Class B Certificate or a Residual Certificate shall be
made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA nor a plan nor other
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), nor is
acting on behalf of any Plan nor using the assets of any Plan to affect such
transfer.

      Section 5.9. Assignment of Rights. An Owner may pledge, encumber,
hypothecate or assign all or any part of its right to receive distributions
hereunder, but such pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or assignment shall not
constitute a transfer of an ownership interest sufficient to render the
transferee an Owner of the Trust without compliance with the provisions of
Section 5.4 and Section 5.8 hereof.

                                    COVENANTS

      Section 6.1. Distributions. The Trustee will duly and punctually pay
distributions with respect to the Certificates from the Trust Estate in
accordance with the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement based on the
related Servicer's report. Such distributions shall be made (i) by check mailed
on each Payment Date or (ii) if requested by any Owner, to such Owner by wire
transfer to an account within the United States designated no later than five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date, made on each Payment Date, in
each case to each Owner of record on the immediately preceding Record Date;
provided, however, that an Owner of a Class A Certificate shall only be entitled
to payment by wire transfer if such Owner owns Class A Certificates with an
Original Certificate Principal Balance of at least $5,000,000.

      Section 6.2. Money for Distributions to be Held in Trust; Withholding.

      (a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any
Certificate that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof or from Insured Payments shall be made by
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Certificate Account for payments of the Certificates and no Insured Payment
shall be paid over to the Trustee except as provided in this Section.

      (b) The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall comply with all requirements
of the Code and applicable state and local law with respect to the withholding
from any distributions made by it to any Owner of any applicable withholding
taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements
in connection therewith.

      (c) Any money held by the Trustee in trust for the payment of any amount
due with respect to any Class A Certificate, Class B Certificate or Residual
Certificate and remaining unclaimed by the Owner of such Certificate for the
period then specified in the escheat laws of the State of New York after such
amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be
paid first to the Owners of the Class A Certificates, second, to the Certificate
Insurer on account of any Reimbursement Amounts, third, to the Owners of the
Class B Certificates and fourth to the Owners of the Residual Certificates; and
the Owner of such Certificate shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Certificate Insurer or the Sponsor for payment
thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Certificate
Insurer or the Sponsor), and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such
trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, before
being required to make any such payment, shall at the expense of the Trust cause
to be published once, in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal, notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall be not fewer than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Certificate
Insurer (to the extent of any Reimbursement Amount then owing to it) or the
Sponsor. The Trustee shall, at the direction of the Sponsor, also adopt and


                                   58
<PAGE>

employ, at the expense of the Sponsor, any other reasonable means of
notification of such payment (including but not limited to mailing notice of
such payment to Owners whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but
not claimed is determinable from the Register at the last address of record for
each such Owner).

      Section 6.3. Protection of Trust Estate.

      (a) The Trustee will hold the Trust Estate in trust for the benefit of the
Owners and the Certificate Insurer, and with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, at the request and expense of the Sponsor, will from time to time
execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto pursuant to
Section 11.14 hereof and all instruments of further assurance and other
instruments, and will take such other action upon such request to:

           (i)      more effectively hold in trust all or any portion of the
                    Trust Estate;

           (ii)     perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any
                    grant made or to be made by this Agreement;

           (iv)     preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights
                    of the Trustee, and the ownership interests of the Owners
                    represented thereby, in such Trust Estate against the claims
                    of all Persons and parties.

      The Trustee shall send copies of any request received from the Certificate
Insurer or the Sponsor to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.3 to the
other party.

      (b) The Trustee shall have the power to enforce, and shall enforce the
obligations of the other parties to this Agreement and of the Certificate
Insurer, by action, suit or proceeding at law or equity, and shall also have the
power to enjoin, by action or suit in equity, any acts or occurrences which may
be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Owners; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall require any action by the Trustee unless the
Trustee shall first (i) have been furnished indemnity satisfactory to it and
(ii) when required by this Agreement, have been requested to take such action by
a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class A Certificates
then Outstanding or, if there are no longer any Class A Certificates then
outstanding, by such majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the
Class B Certificates.

      (c) The Trustee shall execute any instrument reasonably required pursuant
to this Section so long as such instrument does not conflict with this Agreement
or with the Trustee's fiduciary duties.

      Section 6.4. Performance of Obligations. The Trustee will not take any
action that would release the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Originator or the
Certificate Insurer from any


                                   59
<PAGE>

of their respective covenants or obligations under any instrument or document
relating to the Trust Estate or the Certificates or which would result in the
amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair
the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or document, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement or such other instrument or document.

      The Trustee may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its
duties hereunder.

      Section 6.5. Negative Covenants. The Trustee will not, to the extent
within the control of the Trustee, take any of the following actions:

           (i)      sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the
                    Trust Estate except as expressly permitted by this
                    Agreement;

           (ii)     claim any credit on or make any deduction from the
                    distributions payable in respect of, the Certificates (other
                    than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the
                    Code) or assert any claim against any present or former
                    Owner by reason of the payment of any taxes levied or
                    assessed upon any of the Trust Estate;

           (iii)    incur, assume or guaranty on behalf of the Trust any
                    indebtedness of any Person except pursuant to this
                    Agreement;

           (iv)     dissolve or liquidate the Trust Estate in whole or in part,
                    except pursuant to Article IX hereof; or

           (v)      impair the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement, or
                    release any Person from any covenants or obligations with
                    respect to the Trust or to the Certificates under this
                    Agreement, except as may be expressly permitted hereby or
                    (B) create or extend any lien, charge, adverse claim,
                    security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance to or upon
                    the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein
                    or the proceeds thereof except as may be expressly permitted
                    herein.

      Section 6.6. No Other Powers. The Trustee will not, to the extent within
the control of the Trustee, permit the Trust to engage in any business activity
or transaction other than those activities permitted by Section 2.3 hereof.

      Section 6.7. Limitation of Suits. No Owner shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement
or the Certificate Insurance Policy or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


                                   60
<PAGE>

      (1)   such Owner has previously given written notice to the Sponsor and
            the Trustee of such Owner's intention to institute such proceeding;

      (2)   the Owners of not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests
            represented by the Class A Certificates then Outstanding or, if
            there are no Class A Certificates then Outstanding, by such
            percentage of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class B
            Certificates, shall have made written request to the Trustee to
            institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default;

      (3)   such Owner or Owners have offered to the Trustee reasonable
            indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
            in compliance with such request;

      (4)   the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
            and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceeding;

      (5)   as long as any Class A Certificates are Outstanding, the
            Certificate Insurer consented in writing thereto; and

      (6)   no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given
            to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Certificate Insurer
            or by the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests
            represented by the Class A Certificates or, if there are no Class A
            Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority of the Percentage
            Interests represented by the Class B Certificates;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any provision
of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Owner
of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Owner of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Agreement,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of
all the Owners of the same Class.

      In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent
requests and indemnity from two or more Classes of Owners, each representing
less than a majority of the applicable Class of Certificates, the Trustee shall
act at the direction of the Certificate Insurer.

      Section 6.8. Unconditional Rights of Owners to Receive Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Owner of any
Certificate shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive distributions to the extent provided herein and therein with respect to
such Certificate or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
distribution, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Owner.

      Section 6.9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
herein, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

      Section 6.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay of the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or any Owner of any Certificate to exercise any right or
remedy under this Agreement to any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or to the Owners may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer or by the Owners, as the case may be.

      Section 6.11. Control by Owners. The Certificate Insurer or the Majority
Owners, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (which may not be
unreasonably withheld) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the
Certificates or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to the Certificates or the Trust Estate, including, but not limited to,
those powers set forth in Section 6.3 and Section 8.20 hereof; provided that:

      (1)   such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
            this Agreement;

      (2)   the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to
            it; and

      (3)   the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee,
            which is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however,
            that the Trustee need not take any action which it determines might
            involve it in liability or may be unjustly prejudicial to the Owners
            not so directing.

                               ARTICLE VII

establish and maintain, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, a
Certificate Account to be held by the Trustee as a segregated trust account in
the name of the Trust so long as the Trustee qualifies as a Designated

Designated Depository Institution for the benefit of the Owners of the
Certificates and the Certificate Insurer, as their interests may appear.

      Section 7.3. The Certificate Insurance Policy.

      (a)  (i)      By 12:00 noon New York City time on each Determination
                    Date the Trustee shall determine with respect to the
                    immediately following Payment Date the amount (after taking
                    into account investment earnings) expected to be on deposit
                    in the Certificate Account on such Payment Date with respect
                    to Group I and equal to the sum of (A) such amount excluding
                    the amount of any Total Monthly Excess Cash Flow relating to
                    Group I included in such amount for the related Payment Date
                    plus (B) any amount of Total Monthly Excess Cash Flow from
                    either Group to be applied on account of Group I on such
                    Payment Date. The amount described in clause (A) of the
                    preceding sentence with respect to each Payment Date, after
                    taking into account the portion of the Group I Principal
                    Distribution Amount to be actually distributed on such
                    Payment Date without regard to any Insured Payment to be
                    made with respect to Group I on such Payment Date, is the
                    "Group I Available Funds"; the sum of the amounts described
                    in clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence with
                    respect to each Payment Date is the "Group I Total Available
                    Funds."

           (ii)     By 12:00 Noon New York City time on each Determination Date
                    the Trustee shall determine with respect to the immediately
                    following Payment Date the amount (after taking into account
                    investment earnings) expected to be on deposit in the
                    Certificate Account on such Payment Date with respect to
                    Group II and equal to the sum of (A) such amount excluding
                    the amount of any Total Monthly Excess Cash Flow relating to
                    Group II included in such amount for the related Payment
                    Date plus (B) any amounts of Total Monthly Excess Cash Flow
                    from either Group to be applied on account of Group II on
                    such Payment Date. The amount described in clause (A) of the
                    preceding sentence with respect to each Payment Date, after
                    taking into account the portion of the Group II Principal
                    Distribution Amount to be actually distributed on such
                    Payment Date without


                                   63
<PAGE>

                                                                                
                    regard to any Insured Payment to be made with respect to
                    Group II on such Payment Date, is the "Group II Available
                    Funds" the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A) and
                    (B) of the preceding sentence with respect to each Payment
                    Date is the "Group II Total Available Funds."

      (b) If the Group I Insured Distribution Amount for any Payment Date
exceeds the Group I Total Available Funds for such Payment Date (but net of any
Group I Reimbursement Amount, Group I Premium Amount and Group I Monthly Trustee
Fee Amount) (such event being a "Group I Total Available Funds Shortfall"), the
Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A attached to the
Certificate Insurance Policy and submit such notice to the Certificate Insurer
no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Determination Date as a claim
for an Insured Payment in an amount equal to such Group I Total Available Funds
Shortfall. The Notice shall specify the amount of the Insured Payment and shall
constitute a claim for an Insured Payment pursuant to the Certificate Insurance
Policy. Similarly, if on any Payment Date the Group II Insured Distribution
Amount exceeds the Group II Total Available Funds for such Payment Date (but net
of any Group II Reimbursement Amount, Group II Premium Amount and Group II
Monthly Trustee Fee Amount) (such event being a "Group II Total Available Funds
Shortfall"), the Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A
attached to the Certificate Insurance Policy and submit such notice to the
Certificate Insurer no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Determination Date as a claim for an Insured Payment in an amount equal to such
Group II Total Available Funds Shortfall.

      (c) The Trustee shall report to the Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer and
the Servicer with respect to the amounts then held in each Account held by the
Trustee and the identity of the investments included therein, as the Sponsor,
the Certificate Insurer or the Servicer may from time to time request. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee, at the request of the
Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer or the Servicer, shall transmit promptly to the
Certificate Insurer, the Sponsor and the Servicer copies of all accountings of
receipts in respect of the Mortgage Loans furnished to it by the Servicer.

      (d) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of the Owners of the
Class A Certificates any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer and (ii)
disburse the same to such Owners as set forth in Section 7.5(b). Insured
Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance
Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust with respect to the Class A
Certificates, and the Certificate Insurer shall become the owner of such unpaid
amounts due from the Trust in respect of Insured Payments as the deemed assignee
of such Owners, as hereinafter provided. The Trust and the Trustee hereby agree
on behalf of each Owner of Class A Certificates for the benefit of the
Certificate Insurer that they recognize that to the extent the Certificate
Insurer pays Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying
through the Trustee), to the Owners of the Class A Certificates, the Certificate
Insurer will be entitled to receive the amount of any Class A Interest
Carry-Forward Amount and Class A Principal Carry-Forward Amount (each calculated
for purposes of this Section 7.3(d) without regard to any related Insured
Payment) and will be


                                   64
<PAGE>

subrogated to the rights of the Owners of the Class A Certificates with respect
to such Insured Payment, shall be deemed to the extent of the payments so made
to be an Owner of such Class A Certificates and shall receive future
distributions of the Class A Distribution Amount until all such Insured Payments
by the Certificate Insurer have been fully reimbursed, as described in the
following paragraph, and without duplication of any Reimbursement Amounts paid
pursuant to Section 7.5. To evidence such subrogation, the Trustee shall note
the Certificate Insurer's rights as subrogee on the Register upon receipt from
the Certificate Insurer of proof of the payment of any Insured Payment, after
making the distribution on any such future Payment Date to Owners of the Class A
Certificates other than to the Certificate Insurer.

      It is understood and agreed that the intention of the parties is that the
Certificate Insurer shall not be entitled to reimbursement on any Payment Date
for amounts previously paid by it unless on such Payment Date the Owners of the
Class A Certificates shall also have received the full amount of the Class A
Distribution Amount (exclusive of any Class A Interest Carry-Forward Amount and
Class A Principal Carry Forward Amount, representing amounts previously paid to
the Owners of the Class A Certificates as Insured Payments) for such Payment
Date.

      The Certificate Insurer shall be entitled to receive the related
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Sections 7.5(b)(iii) and (iv) hereof with
respect to each Insured Payment made by the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee
hereby agrees on behalf of each Owner of Class A Certificates and the Trust for
the benefit of the Certificate Insurer that it recognizes that to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Trustee), to the Owners of such Class A Certificates, the
Certificate Insurer will be entitled to receive the related Reimbursement Amount
pursuant to Sections 7.5(b)(iii) and (iv).

      (e) Each Owner of a Class A Certificate which pays any Preference Amounts
theretofore received by such Owner on account of such Class A Certificate will
be entitled to receive reimbursement for such amounts from the Certificate
Insurer in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy, but
only after (i) delivering a copy to the Certificate Insurer of a final,
nonappealable order (a "Preference Order") of a court having competent
jurisdiction under the United States Bankruptcy Code demanding payment of such
amount to the bankruptcy court, (ii) irrevocably assigning such Owner's rights
and claim with respect to such Preference Order to the Certificate Insurer in
such form as is required by the Certificate Insurer, and (iii) appointing the
Certificate Insurer as such Certificateholder's agent in respect of such claim
or amount in such form as required by the Certificate Insurer. In no event,
however, shall any Class A Certificateholder be entitled to reimbursement for
any payment avoided under a Preference Order as to which the Certificate Insurer
previously has made a payment under the Certificate Insurance Policy, nor is the
Certificate Insurer obligated to make any payment in respect of any payment
avoided under a Preference Order which represents a payment of the principal
amount of the Class A Certificates prior to the time the Certificate Insurer
otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect of such
principal.


                                   65
<PAGE>

      The Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Owners, agrees that the
Certificate Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Order direct all matters relating to such Preference
Order, including, without limitation, the direction of any appeal of any order
relating to such Preference Order and the posting of any surety, supersedeas or
performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of
the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated, to the extent of
Insured Payments, to the rights of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Trustee and
each Owner in the conduct of any such preference claim, including without
limitation, all rights of any party to any adversarial proceeding or action with
respect to any court order issued in connection with any such preference claim.

      (f) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of
interest and principal paid in respect of any Certificate from moneys received
under the Certificate Insurance Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the
right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours
upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Trustee.

      Section 7.4. [Reserved]

      Section 7.5. Flow of Funds.

      (a) The Trustee shall deposit to the Certificate Account, without
duplication, upon receipt, any Insured Payments, the proceeds of any liquidation
of the assets of the Trust, the Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, together with any Substitution Amounts and any
Loan Purchase Price amounts received by the Trustee.

      (b) With respect to the Certificate Account on each Payment Date, the
Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in a report provided by the
Servicer and based upon a calculation made by the Trustee, make the following
allocations, disbursements and transfers in the following order of priority, and
each such allocation, transfer and disbursement shall be treated as having
occurred only after all preceding allocations, transfers and disbursements have

                    therein with respect to Group I, the Group I Monthly Trustee
                    Fee Amount for such Payment Date and (y) from amounts then
                    on deposit therein with

                    respect to Group II, the Group II Monthly Trustee Fee Amount
                    for such Payment Date, together with expenses (to the extent
                    not paid by the Sponsor or the Servicer pursuant to Section
                    2.5) for such Payment Date;

           (iii)    third, on each Payment Date, the Trustee shall allocate,
                    with respect to each Mortgage Loan Group an amount equal to
                    the sum of (x) the Total Monthly Excess Spread with respect
                    to such Mortgage Loan Group and Payment Date plus (y) any
                    Subordination Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage
                    Loan Group and Payment Date (such sum being the "Total
                    Monthly Excess Cashflow" with respect to such Mortgage Loan
                    Group and Payment Date) in the following order of priority:

                    (A) first, such Total Monthly Excess Cashflow shall be
                        allocated on such Payment Date with respect to the
                        related Mortgage Loan Group in an amount equal to the
                        difference, if any, between (x) the related Group
                        Formula Distribution Amount for such Payment Date and
                        (y) the Available Funds with respect to such Mortgage
                        Loan Group for such Payment Date (the amount of such
                        difference being the "Available Funds Shortfall" with
                        respect to the related Mortgage Loan Group);

                    (B) second, any portion of the Total Monthly Excess Cashflow
                        with respect to such Mortgage Loan Group remaining after
                        the application described in clause (A) above shall be

                        respect to the other Mortgage Loan Group;

                        with respect to such Mortgage Loan Group remaining after
                        the allocations described in clauses (A) and (B) above
                        shall be paid to the Certificate Insurer in respect of
                        amounts owed on account of any Reimbursement Amount with
                        respect to the related Mortgage Loan Group; and

Certificates. Any amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section
7.5 hereof shall by held in non-interest bearing accounts.

      (b) The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of either
the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC. For federal and state income tax
purposes the Owners of the Class B Certificates shall be deemed to be the owners
of the Reserve Fund. Any amounts transferred by the Upper-Tier REMIC to the
Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Upper-Tier REMIC to
the Owners of the Class B Certificates. Any amounts remaining in the Reserve
Fund upon termination of the Trust shall be paid to the Owners of the Class A-5
Certificates, to the extent of any outstanding Available Funds Cap Carry-Forward
Amount, and thereafter to the Owners of the Class B Certificates.

                              ARTICLE VIII

                      SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION
                            OF MORTGAGE LOANS

      Section 8.1. Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

      (a) Acting directly or through one or more Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 8.3, the Servicer, as master servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans for the benefit, and in the best interests of, the Owners and, to
the extent not conflicting with the best interests of the Owners, the interest
of the Certificate Insurer in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law
and with reasonable care, and using that degree of skill and attention that the
Servicer exercises with respect to comparable mortgage loans that it services
for itself or others, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. To the extent
consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely
and complete recovery of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the
Servicer shall not have any duties, responsibilities, or fiduciary relationship
with the Trustee except those expressly set forth herein.

      (b) The duties of the Servicer shall include collecting and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Mortgagors or by federal, state or local
government authorities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, investigating
delinquencies, reporting tax information to Mortgagors in accordance with its
customary practices and accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and
annual statements to the Trustee with respect to distributions, paying
Compensating Interest and making Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances
pursuant hereto. The Servicer and any Sub-Servicer shall follow its customary
standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer or
Sub-Servicer, as applicable. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and
furnish to the Trustee with reasonable promptness information in its possession
as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Trustee to perform its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder.

      (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer (i)
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, subject
to Section 8.1(a), to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Owners and
the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial release, subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(i)
below, or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the related Properties;


                                   77
<PAGE>

(ii) may consent to any modification of the terms of any Note not expressly
prohibited hereby if the effect of any such modification (x) will not be to
affect materially and adversely the security afforded by the related Property,
the timing of receipt or amounts of any payments required hereby or the
interests of the Certificate Insurer and (y) will not cause the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; provided, however, that
the Servicer shall not consent to any such modifications without the prior
consent of the Certificate Insurer if the Aggregate Loan Balance of all Mortgage
Loans which have been subject to modifications pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)
exceeds 5% of the Original Aggregate Loan Balance. For purposes of the foregoing
proviso, no modification that provides for partial releases pursuant to Section
8.1(i), modification pursuant to Section 8.2 or assumptions pursuant to Section
8.12 will be counted toward such 5% limit. The Servicer will, however, notify
the Certificate Insurer of all partial releases to the extent that the Aggregate
Loan Balance of Mortgage Loans affected by such partial releases exceeds 5% of
the Original Aggregate Loan Balance.

      (d) The parties intend that the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC
each shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust shall be conducted so
as to qualify each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.
In furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it
shall act as agent (and the Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on
behalf of the Trust and that in such capacity it shall: (i) use its best efforts
to conduct the affairs of the Trust at all times that any Class of Certificates
are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and
the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (ii) not knowingly
or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC
or that would subject the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to tax and
(iii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from
assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC.

      (e) The Servicer may, and is hereby authorized to, perform any or all of
its servicing responsibilities with respect to all or certain of the Mortgage
Loans through a Sub-Servicer as it may from time to time designate, but no such
designation of a Sub-Servicer shall serve to release the Servicer from any of
its obligations under this Agreement. Such Sub-Servicer shall have all the
rights and powers of the Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement.

      (f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to
Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Sub-Servicer may be authorized and empowered pursuant to a power of attorney
executed and delivered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, and may be
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the Owners and the Trustee or any of them, (i) any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Properties, (ii) and to institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure


                                   78
<PAGE>

so as to effect ownership of any Property on behalf of the Trust, and (iii) to
hold title to any Property upon such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
on behalf of the Trust. Section 8.14(a) shall constitute a power of attorney
from the Trustee to the Servicer to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse) with respect to any Mortgage Loan paid
in full (or with respect to which payment in full has been escrowed). Subject to
Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers
of attorney and other documents as the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer shall
reasonably request to enable the Servicer and such Sub-Servicer to carry out
their respective servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

      (g) The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge,
to (i) assert a claim against the Trust or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the
Trust.

      (h) Unreimbursed Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including
any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or
other charges) on any Property shall be recoverable by the Servicer or such
Sub-Servicer to the extent described in Section 8.9(c) and in Section
7.5(b)(xiii) hereof.

      (i) The Servicer shall have the right to approve requests of Mortgagors
for consent to partial releases or division of Mortgaged Properties. No such
request shall be approved by the Servicer unless: (A) (w) the provisions of the
related Note and Mortgage have been complied with, (x) the loan-to-value ratio
(which may, for this purpose be determined at the time of any such action in a
manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Insurer) after any release does
not exceed the loan-to-value ratio set forth for such Mortgage Loan in the
related Schedule of Mortgage Loans, and (y) the lien priority of the related
Mortgage is not affected; or (B) the Certificate Insurer shall have approved the
granting of such request; or (C) the partial release is expressly provided for
by the terms of the Mortgage Loan.

      (j) Each of the Sponsor and the Servicer may make loans to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Mortgagors and/or any other obligors
under the Mortgage Loans as though either the Sponsor or the Servicer were not a
party to this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not have a material
adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the
Sponsor and the Servicer may have other existing loans and in the future may
make additional loans to any of the Mortgagors and/or to other obligors under
the Mortgage Loans, which other and/or additional loans may not be sold, or a
loan participation therein granted, to the Trustee. The Servicer shall collect
payments under the Mortgage Loans in the same preference and priority as the
collection and/or enforcement of any other and/or additional loans by the
Servicer.

      (k) Each of the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any promissory note,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message,


                                   79
<PAGE>

statement, order or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation,
counsel to the Mortgagor(s)), independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Sponsor or the Trustee. The Servicer shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement for which it has sought and
failed to receive instructions from the Trustee provided that the Servicer is
entitled to receive instructions from the Trustee hereunder. The Servicer shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans in accordance with an express written
request of the Trustee, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Sponsor and Trustee.

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

      Section 8.2. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

      (a) The Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any assumption fees, late
payment charges, charges for checks returned for insufficient funds, prepayment
fees, if any, or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing the Mortgage Loans, (ii) if a Mortgagor is in default or about to be
in default because of a Mortgagor's financial condition, arrange with the
Mortgagor a schedule, not to exceed twelve (12) months in duration, for the
payment of delinquent payments due on the related Mortgage Loan (it being
understood that such Mortgagor will be considered Delinquent until all such
delinquent payments have been made), (iii) modify payments of monthly principal
and interest on any Mortgage Loan becoming subject to the terms of the Soldiers'
and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended, in accordance with the
Servicer's general policies for comparable mortgage loans subject to such Act,
(iv) with respect to Mortgage Loans aggregating not more than 5.0% of the
Original Aggregate Loan Balance, extend the due date for payments due on a Note
for a period (with respect to each payment as to which the due date is extended)
not greater than 125 days after the initially scheduled due date for such
payment (during which extension the Mortgagor will not be considered Delinquent
with respect to the payment(s) for which the due date is so extended), (v) amend
any Note to extend the maturity thereof, provided that no maturity shall be
extended by more than three (3) months and that no more than 5.0% of the
Original Aggregate Loan Balance shall be modified to have a maturity date which
has been extended beyond the maturity date thereof as of the Cut-Off Date
without the prior consent of the Certificate Insurer.

      (b) The Servicer shall hold in escrow in the Principal and Interest
Account on behalf of the related Mortgagor all Prepaid Installments received by
it, and shall apply such Prepaid Installments as directed by such Mortgagor and
as set forth in the related Note.


                                   80

      Section 8.3. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements for any servicing and
administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which is in compliance
with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations
under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and which is acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer and is experienced in serving loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans and has equity of at least $2,500,000, as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Servicer shall give notice to the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, Moody's and S&P of the appointment of any
Sub-Servicer and shall furnish to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, Moody's
and S&P a copy of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when
any Sub-Servicer has received such payments. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Any
such Sub-Servicing Agreement may be terminated by the Trustee with the written
consent of the Certificate Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), provided that the Servicer has been terminated hereunder. As of the
Startup Day the only Sub-Servicer is Transworld Mortgage Corporation.

      Section 8.4. Successor Sub-Servicers. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
expressly provide that the Servicer may terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and
either directly service the related Mortgage Loans itself or enter into a
Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer that qualifies under
Section 8.3. The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to monitor or
supervise the performance of any Sub-Servicer.

      Section 8.5. Liability of Servicer. The Servicer shall not be relieved of
its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement
or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or
arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, and the
Servicer shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer
for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained
in such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this
Agreement. The Trust shall have no liability to the Servicer except for payment
of the Servicing Fee and reimbursement of Delinquency Advances and Servicing
Advances as expressly contemplated in this Agreement. The Trust shall have no
obligation to indemnify the Servicer for costs or expenses, except with respect
to the preceding sentence. The Trust shall not indemnify the Servicer for any
losses due to the Servicer's negligence.

      Section 8.6. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and Trustee
or the Owners. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed
to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone and the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee and the Owners shall not be deemed parties thereto and
shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to
any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 8.7.


                                   81
<PAGE>

      Section 8.7. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by
Trustee. In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer hereunder by
the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.20, the Servicer's rights and obligations
under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between the Servicer and a
Sub-Servicer may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee at the Trustee's
option, in each case after consultation with the Certificate Insurer.

      The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, 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 reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

      Section 8.8. Principal and Interest Account.

      (a) The Servicer and/or each Sub-Servicer shall establish in the name of
the Trust for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates and the Certificate
Insurer and maintain at one or more Designated Depository Institutions the
Principal and Interest Account.

      Subject to Subsection (c) below, the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer shall
deposit all receipts related to the Mortgage Loans to the Principal and Interest
Account on a daily basis (but no later than the second Business Day after
receipt).

      On the Startup Day, the Sponsor and/or the Servicer shall deposit to the
Principal and Interest Account all scheduled payments of principal and interest
due and received, and all Prepayments received after the Cut-Off Date.

      (b) All funds in the Principal and Interest Account may only be held (i)
uninvested, up to the limits insured by the FDIC or (ii) invested in Eligible
Investments. The Principal and Interest Account shall be held in trust in the
name of the Trust and for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates and the
Certificate Insurer. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Principal and
Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and may only be
withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer immediately
following the remittance of the Monthly Remittance Amounts by the Servicer. Any
references herein to amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account
shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings. The amount of any losses
on investments in the Principal and Interest Account, to the extent not offset
by earnings on other investments held therein, shall be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer promptly upon the recognition of
such net losses.

      (c) The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest Account all
payments of principal and interest (including Prepaid Installments) due after
the Cut-Off Date, any Prepayments and Net Liquidation Proceeds collected after
the Cut-Off Date, all Loan Purchase Prices and Substitution Amounts received or
paid by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, other recoveries or
amounts related to the Mortgage Loans received by


                                   82
<PAGE>

the Servicer, Compensating Interest and Delinquency Advances together with any
amounts which are reimbursable from the Principal and Interest Account, amounts
on account of net investment losses and any condemnation proceeds, but net of
(i) the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and other servicing
compensation to the Servicer as permitted by Section 8.15 hereof, and (ii) Net
Liquidation Proceeds to the extent such Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the sum
of (A) the Loan Balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus (B) accrued and unpaid
interest on such Mortgage Loan at the Coupon Rate (net of any Servicing Fee) to
the date of such liquidation. Amounts described in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation
or paid over to the related Mortgagor if required by law.

      (d)   (i)   The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Principal and
                  Interest Account only for the following purposes:

                  (A)   to effect the timely remittance to the Trustee of the
                        Monthly Remittance Amounts due on each Remittance Date;

                  (B)   to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 8.9 hereof for
                        any unreimbursed Reimbursable Advances;

                  (C)   to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in
                        the Principal and Interest Account;

                  (D)   to withdraw amounts that have been deposited to the
                        Principal and Interest Account in error; and

                  (E)   to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest
                        Account following the termination of the Trust pursuant
                        to Article IX.

            (ii)  On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall send to the
                  Trustee a report, in print and/or electronic form, detailing
                  the payments on the Mortgage Loans during the prior Remittance
                  Period. Such report shall be in the form and have the
                  specifications as may be agreed to between the Servicer and
                  the Trustee from time to time. The Trustee shall have no duty
                  or obligation with respect to the accuracy of the information
                  contained in the report referred to in this Section
                  8.8(d)(ii).

            (iii) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the
                  Trustee by wire transfer, or otherwise make funds available in
                  immediately available funds all amounts then on deposit in the
                  Principal and Interest Account which relate to collections on
                  or with respect to the Mortgage Loans with respect to the
                  immediately preceding Remittance Period, including the amount
                  of any Delinquency Advance, any Compensating Interest, Loan
                  Purchase Prices and


                                   83
<PAGE>

                  Substitution Amounts; such amount being the "Monthly 
                  Remittance Amount."

      (e) The Servicer shall furnish the Trustee monthly statements of the
Principal and Interest Account, if it is not held by the Trustee.

      (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed expense
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, any Delinquency Advance, any Servicing Advance, and any
Liquidation Expense, that the Servicer determines (as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate) to be otherwise nonrecoverable by withdrawal from the Principal and
Interest Account of amounts on deposit therein attributable to any of the
Mortgage Loans on any Business Day prior to the Payment Date succeeding the date
of any such determination.

      Section 8.9. Delinquency Advances, Compensating Interest and Servicing
Advances.

      (a) On each Remittance Date the Servicer shall make a Delinquency Advance
with respect to delinquent interest on each Mortgage Loan which was a Delinquent
Mortgage Loan with respect to the related Remittance Period; provided, however,
that the Servicer will not be required to make any Delinquency Advance if it
determines that such Delinquency Advance would be an Unrecoverable Delinquency
Advance.

      The Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for any Delinquency
Advance from any subsequent collections or recoveries on the Mortgage Loans. If
not theretofore recovered by the Servicer, Delinquency Advances shall be
recoverable pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(xiii) hereof.

      (b) On or prior to each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account with respect to any full or partial Prepayment
received on a Mortgage Loan during the related Remittance Period, out of its own
funds without any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the
difference between (x) 30 days' interest at the related Coupon Rate less the
Servicing Fee Rate on the Loan Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the first day
of the related Remittance Period and (y) to the extent not previously advanced,
the interest (less the Servicing Fee) actually paid by the Mortgagor with
respect to the Mortgage Loan during such Remittance Period (any such amount paid
by the Servicer, "Compensating Interest"). The Servicer shall in no event be
required to pay Compensating Interest with respect to any Remittance Period in
an amount in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fee received by the Servicer with
respect to all Mortgage Loans for the related Remittance Period.

      (c) The Servicer will pay all reasonable and customary "out-of-pocket"
costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in the performance
of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited to, the cost of (i)
Preservation Expenses, (ii) any


                                   84
<PAGE>

enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the
management and liquidation of REO Property (including, without limitation,
realtor's commissions), and (iv) advances made for taxes, insurance and other
charges against the Property, each such expenditure under clauses (i) - (iv)
constituting a Servicing Advance, but the Servicer is only required to pay such
costs and expenses to the extent the Servicer reasonably believes such costs and
expenses will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan.
Each such amount so paid will constitute a "Servicing Advance".

      The Servicer may recover Servicing Advances from the Mortgagors to the
extent permitted by the Mortgage Loans and from Net Liquidation Proceeds,
condemnation proceeds or other insurance proceeds with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(xiii).

      Section 8.10. Purchase of Mortgage Loans. The Servicer may, but is not
obligated to, purchase for its own account any Mortgage Loan which becomes
Delinquent, in whole or in part, as to four consecutive monthly installments or
any Mortgage Loan as to which enforcement proceedings have been brought by the
Servicer or by any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 8.13. Any such Loan so
purchased shall be purchased by the Servicer on a Remittance Date at a purchase
price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account simultaneously with the purchase of such
Mortgage Loan.

      Section 8.11. Maintenance of Insurance.

      (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each
Mortgage Loan a hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier
licensed in the state in which the Property is located that provides for fire
and extended coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Servicer on
behalf of the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan in an
amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Loan Balance of the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss
to the material improvements on a Property on a replacement cost basis and (iii)
the full insurable value of the material improvements to the Property but in any
event in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related insurance policy.
No amounts advanced by the Servicer for force-placed insurance shall be added to
the Loan Balance of a Mortgage Loan for any purpose under this Agreement.

      (b) If the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination relates to a Property
as to which material improvements are located in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained with respect thereto a
flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
carrier in an amount representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by
the Servicer on behalf of the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such
Mortgage Loan of not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Loan Balance of
the Mortgage


                                   85
<PAGE>

Loan, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is
available for such improvements under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust and the Certificate Insurer out of the
Servicer's own funds for any loss to the Trust and the Certificate Insurer
resulting from the Servicer's failure to maintain the insurance required by this
Section.

      (c) In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy from an insurer rated at least "A:X" or better in Best's Key Rating Guide
insuring against fire, flood and hazards of extended coverage on all of the
Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Servicer as loss payee
and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal
balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with
the requirements of this Section 8.11, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively
to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance
coverage under this Section 8.11, it being understood and agreed that such
blanket policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Property a policy complying with the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8.11,
and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account from the Servicer's own funds the
difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a
policy complying with the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8.11 and the
amount paid under such blanket policy, including the amount in the deductible
clause. Upon the request of the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, the Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, a
certified true copy of such policy.

      Section 8.12. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.
When a Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective
conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related
Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage
or Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right
if (i) the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is
not enforceable under applicable law or (ii) the Servicer reasonably believes
that the assumption of the Mortgage Loan would not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Owners or the Certificate Insurer and (a) the
requested assumption of the Mortgage Loan results from the death of a Mortgagor,
or (b) the requested assumption is, in the judgment of the Servicer, necessary
to prevent or cure a default or imminent default on the Mortgage Loan, or (iii)
the Certificate Insurer provides its prior written consent. The Servicer shall
notify the Certificate Insurer of any assumptions permitted under this Section
8.12 to the extent such assumptions exceed 5.0% of the Original Aggregate Loan
Balance. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and
modification agreement with the person to whom such Property has been or is
about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
Note and, unless prohibited by such Note or applicable law, the Mortgagor
remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law,
the Servicer is 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


                                   86
<PAGE>

substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note; provided, however,
that any such substitution of liability agreement must be delivered by the
Servicer pursuant to its usual procedures for mortgage loans held in its own
portfolio and the Servicer shall, prior to executing and delivering such
agreement, obtain the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer. The
Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements,
representations and warranties of this Agreement and any related agreement. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of
such assumption or substitution agreement, which copy shall be added by the
Trustee to the related File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any
such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such
assumption or substitution agreement, the required monthly payment on the
related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect
immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or
outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed, the
Coupon Rate shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of
principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer
or the Sub-Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an
assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

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

      Any request for consent by the Servicer under Sections 8.1(c), 8.1(i),
8.2(a) and 8.12 to the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed granted unless denied
by notice in writing to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days after receipt
of a written request for such consent.

      Section 8.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

      (a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably effect the
ownership on behalf of the Trust of Properties relating to defaulted Mortgage
Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
Delinquent payments and which the Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section
8.10, unless the Servicer reasonably believes as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate that Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan
would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, in which
case such Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan.
The Servicer shall have no obligation to purchase any property at any
foreclosure sale. The Servicer will give notice of any such charge-off to the
Certificate Insurer and each of Moody's and S&P by delivery of a Liquidation
Report in the form attached as Exhibit K hereto. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same


                                   87
<PAGE>

degree of care and skill in their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own
affairs, including, but not limited to, advancing funds for the payment of
taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior Liens, and insurance premiums, if it
determines that such advances would be recoverable. Any amounts so advanced
shall constitute "Servicing Advances" within the meaning of Section 8.9(c)
hereof.

      The Servicer shall sell any REO Property within 23 months of its
acquisition by the Trust, unless the Servicer obtains for the Trustee an opinion
of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters, addressed to the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the
Trust of such REO Property for any greater period will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "Prohibited Transactions" of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the
Servicer shall sell any REO Property by the end of any extended period specified
in any such opinion.

      Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owners
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 the
Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC of any "income from non-permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net
income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer
shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and
conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary
in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Owners, rent the same, or
any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owners
for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property.

      The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous
substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local
environmental legislation, on a Property in determining whether to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Property. To the
extent that the Servicer has actual knowledge of any such substance or waste, it
shall consult with the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee regarding the
appropriate course of action. Except with the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, the Servicer shall not institute foreclosure actions with
respect to a property containing substance or waste as described above if it
reasonably believes that such action would not be consistent with its servicing
standards, and in no event shall the Servicer manage, operate or take any other
action with respect thereto which the Servicer in good faith believes will
result in "clean-up" or other liability under applicable law. The net income
from the rental


                                   88
<PAGE>

or sale of a REO property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Servicer.

      (b) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted Mortgage
Loan, when it has recovered, whether through trustee's sale, foreclosure sale or
otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on account of such
defaulted Mortgage Loan, whereupon such Mortgage Loan shall become a "Liquidated
Loan".

      Section 8.14. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.

      (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including the
repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through
foreclosure or otherwise), or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that
payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Servicer's Trust Receipt. Upon receipt
of such Servicer's Trust Receipt, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
File, in trust to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee,
agent or attorney of the Trustee, in each case pending its release by the
Servicer, such escrow agent or such employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee,
as the case may be. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such
notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is
authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under
the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such
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 payment in full. No expense incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account. In lieu of executing any such
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and
submit to the Trustee, a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if
requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by
the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such
event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the related File, as
aforesaid. In connection with a foreclosure, the Servicer may prepare and submit
to the Trustee an assignment of mortgage to the Servicer, in form for execution
by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such
event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such assignment, and deliver
the same with the related File to the Servicer.

      (b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Mortgage
Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion
of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any applicable Insurance Policy, the
Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to
which the related File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or
attorney of the Trustee), upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the
Trustee of a Servicer's Trust Receipt, release the related File to the Servicer
and shall execute such documents as shall be reasonably necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an
assignment without recourse of the related Mortgage to the Servicer; provided
that there shall not, without the prior written


                                   89
<PAGE>

consent of the Certificate Insurer, be released and unreturned at any one time
more than 10% of the entire number of Files then on deposit with the Trustee.
Such receipt by the Servicer shall obligate the Servicer to return the File to
the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the
Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of the
liquidation information, in physical or electronic form, the Servicer's Trust
Receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer.

      (c) In all cases where the Servicer determines that it is necessary for
the Trustee to sign any document or to authorize the release of a File within a
limited period of time, the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the
Trustee by telephone or facsimile transmission of such need and the Trustee
shall thereupon use its best efforts to comply with the Servicer's needs, but in
any event will comply within two Business Days of such request with respect to
the release of a File or the execution of a release or assignment provided such
request shall be received by 12:00 noon on the second Business Day prior to such
release, execution or assignment.

      Section 8.15. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its activities
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing
Fee from the interest collections with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Additional
servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, release fees, bad
check charges, assumption fees, late payment charges, or any other
servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 8.8(c), and similar items
may, to the extent collected from Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer.

      The Servicer may not sell, pledge or transfer its right to the Servicing
Fee or any servicing compensation, under this Agreement (in whole or in part),
except to a successor servicer hereunder, without the consent of the Certificate
Insurer. Any pledge of the Servicing Fee hereunder shall be expressly
subordinate to the rights of the Trustee under this Agreement.

      Section 8.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer, at its own
expense, will deliver to the Trustee, Certificate Insurer, S&P and Moody's, on
or before the last day of April of each year, commencing in 1998, an Officer's
Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of each of the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer during such preceding
calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based
on such review, each of the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer has fulfilled all its
obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default
in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default known
to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps being
taken by the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer as applicable, to remedy such
defaults. Any Sub-Servicer which is not a Servicer Affiliate shall also deliver
an annual statement as to compliance in the form described above or the Servicer
shall cover such Sub-Servicer's performance in its own statement. These
statements shall be available to Owners upon written request.


                                   90

      Section 8.17. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Reports;
Annual Financial Statements of the Sub-Servicer.

      (a) On or before the last day of April of each year, commencing in 1998,
the Sub-Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, S&P and Moody's a letter or letters of a firm
of independent, nationally recognized certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer stating that such firm has, with respect
to the Sub-Servicer's overall servicing operations (i) performed applicable
tests in accordance with the compliance testing procedures as set forth in
Appendix 3 of the Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Approved Nonsupervised
Mortgagees or (ii) examined such operations in accordance with the requirements
of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers, and in either case
stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto.

      (b) The Servicer shall furnish or caused to be furnished to the Trustee as
soon as available, and in any event within 90 days after the close of each
fiscal year of the Servicer, the audited balance sheet of the Servicer and the
audited profit and loss statement and statement of cash flows of the Servicer
for such year, all in reasonable detail and stating in comparative form the
respective figures for the corresponding date and period in the preceding year,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and accompanied by the certificate of the Servicer's
independent accountants (who shall be a nationally recognized firm).

      (c) The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation with respect to the
information provided pursuant to this Section 8.17.

     Section 8.18. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing access
to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable state
and federal regulations, such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it.

      Upon any change in the format of the computer diskette or other form of
report maintained by the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall deliver a copy of such new format to the Trustee.

      Section 8.19. Assignment of Agreement. The Servicer may not assign its
obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have
first obtained the written consent of the Trustee and Certificate Insurer, which
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any
assignee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.20(g)
hereof for a successor servicer. Notice of any such assignment shall be given by
the Servicer to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and Moody's.

      Section 8.20. Removal of Servicer; Resignation of Servicer.

      (a) The Certificate Insurer (or, with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, the Majority Owners) may remove the Servicer upon the occurrence of any
of the following events (each, an "Event of Default"); provided in the event of
an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (ix), (x) or (xi) below, the Certificate
Insurer may consider whether such Event of Default is related to the Servicer's
performance, the credit quality of the Mortgage Loans or economic conditions
beyond the control of the Servicer:

           (i)      The Servicer shall (A) apply for or consent to the
                    appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian
                    or similar entity with respect to itself or its property,

                    for the benefit of creditors, (D) be adjudicated a bankrupt
                    or insolvent, (E) commence a voluntary case under the
                    federal bankruptcy laws of the United States of America or
                    file a voluntary petition or answer seeking reorganization,
                    an arrangement with creditors or an order for relief or
                    seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law or file an
                    answer admitting the material allegations of a petition
                    filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization or
                    insolvency proceeding or (F) cause corporate action to be
                    taken by it for the purpose of effecting any of the
                    foregoing; or

           (ii)     If without the application, approval or consent of the
                    Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of
                    competent jurisdiction, under any law relating to
                    bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors,
                    seeking in respect of the Servicer an order for relief or an
                    adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution,
                    winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with
                    creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a
                    trustee, receiver, conservator, liquidator or custodian or
                    similar entity with respect to the Servicer or of all or any
                    substantial part of its assets, or other like relief in
                    respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and,
                    if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in
                    good faith, the same shall (A) result in the entry of an
                    order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or
                    (B) continue undismissed or pending and unstayed for any
                    period of thirty (30) consecutive days; or

           (iii)    The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of its
                    obligations hereunder (other than its obligations referenced
                    in clauses (vi) and (vii) below) and shall continue in
                    default thereof for a period of thirty (30) days after the
                    earlier to occur of (x) the date on which an Authorized
                    Officer of the Servicer knows or reasonably should know of
                    such failure or (y) receipt by the Servicer of a written
                    notice from


                                   92
<PAGE>

                    the Trustee, any Owner, the Sponsor or the Certificate
                    Insurer of said failure; or

           (iv)     The Servicer shall fail to cure any breach of any of its
                    representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2
                    which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
                    Owners or Certificate Insurer for a period of thirty (30)
                    days after the earlier of (x) the date on which an
                    Authorized Officer of the Servicer knows or reasonably
                    should know of such breach or (y) receipt by the Servicer of
                    a written notice from the Trustee, any Owner, the Sponsor or
                    the Certificate Insurer of such breach; or

           (v)      If the Certificate Insurer pays out any money under the
                    Certificate Insurance Policy, or if the Certificate Insurer
                    otherwise funds any shortfall with its own money, because
                    the amounts available to the Trustee (other than from the
                    Certificate Insurer) are insufficient to make required
                    distributions on the Class A Certificates; or

           (vi)     The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing
                    Advance for a period of 30 days following the earlier of (x)
                    the date on which an Authorized Officer of the Servicer
                    knows or reasonably should know of such failure or (y)
                    receipt by the Servicer of a written notice from the
                    Trustee, any Owner, the Sponsor or the Certificate Insurer
                    of such failure; or

           (vii)    The failure by the Servicer to make any required Delinquency
                    Advance, to pay any Compensating Interest or to pay over any
                    Monthly Remittance Amount or other amounts required to be
                    remitted by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement; or

           (viii)   If on any Payment Date the net worth of the Servicer is less
                    than $10,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally
                    accepted accounting principals; or

           (ix)     If (a) on any Payment Date occurring before March 1, 1998,
                    the Rolling Three Month Delinquency Rate exceeds 6.0%, (b)
                    on any Payment Date on or after March 1, 1998 and before

                    1999 and before March 1, 2000, the Rolling Three Month
                    Delinquency Rate exceeds 8.5%, (d) on any Payment Date on or
                    after March 1, 2000 and before March 1, 2001, the Rolling
                    Three Month Delinquency Rate exceeds 10.0%, or (e) on any
                    Payment Date on or after March 1, 2001, the Rolling Three
                    Month Delinquency Rate exceeds 12.0%; or

                    Balance as of the close of business on the last day of each
                    of the twelve preceding Remittance Periods, (b) on the
                    Payment Date occurring in March, 1999, the aggregate
                    Cumulative Loss Amounts exceed 0.75% of the average
                    Aggregate Loan Balance as of the close of business on the
                    last day of each of the twelve preceding Remittance Periods,
                    (c) on the Payment Date occurring in March, 2000, the
                    aggregate Cumulative Loss Amounts exceed 1.50% of the
                    average Aggregate Loan Balance as of the close of business
                    on the last day of each of the twelve preceding Remittance
                    Periods, (d) on the Payment Date occurring in March, 2001,
                    the aggregate Cumulative Loss Amounts exceed 2.00% of the
                    average Aggregate Loan Balance as of the close of business
                    on the last day of each of the twelve preceding Remittance
                    Periods, or (e) on the Payment Date occurring in March,
                    2002, the aggregate Cumulative Loss Amounts exceed 1.50% of
                    the average Aggregate Loan Balance as of the close of
                    business on the last day of each of the twelve preceding
                    Remittance Periods; or

           (xi)     If (a) on any Payment Date occurring before March 1, 1998,
                    the Cumulative Loss Amount exceeds 0.50% of the Original
                    Aggregate Loan Balance, (b) on any Payment Date on or after
                    March 1, 1998 and before March 1, 1999, the Cumulative Loss
                    Amount exceeds 1.00% of the Original Aggregate Loan Balance,
                    (c) on any Payment Date on or after March 1, 1999 and before
                    March 1, 2000, the Cumulative Loss Amount exceeds 2.50% of
                    the Original Aggregate Loan Balance, (d) on any Payment Date
                    on or after March 1, 2000 and before March 1, 2001, the
                    Cumulative Loss Amount exceeds 4.00% of the Original
                    Aggregate Loan Balance, or (e) on any Payment Date on or
                    after March 1, 2001, the Cumulative Loss Amount exceeds 5.00
                    % of the Original Aggregate Loan Balance; or

           (xii)    The Certificate Insurer determines that the performance of
                    the Servicer (or any Sub-Servicer) is not in compliance with
                    the Servicing Standards, which non-compliance is reasonably
                    likely to have a material adverse effect on the servicing of
                    the Mortgage Loans; or

           (xiii)   The Servicer shall enter into any merger, consolidation or
                    other corporate transaction pursuant to which (x) the
                    Servicer is not the surviving entity, (y) the long-term
                    unsecured debt rating of the surviving entity is below
                    investment grade or (z) the Certificate Insurer determines
                    that the servicing capabilities of such surviving


                                   94
<PAGE>

                    entity as successor Servicer could materially adversely
                    affect the servicing of the Mortgage Loans;

provided, however, that (A) prior to any removal of the Servicer pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv), the Certificate Insurer, in its sole discretion, may
extend the 30-day cure period upon the Servicer's prompt and diligent pursuit of
such cure, (B) prior to any removal of the Servicer pursuant to clauses (iii),
(iv) and (vi) of this Section 8.20(a), any applicable grace period granted by
any such clause shall have expired prior to the time such occurrence shall have
been remedied and (C) in the event of the refusal or inability of the Servicer
to comply with its obligations described in clause (vii) above, such removal
shall be effective (without the requirement of any action on the part of the
Sponsor the Certificate Insurer or of the Trustee) at 4 p.m. New York City time
on the second Business Day following the day on which the Trustee or the
Certificate Insurer notifies an Authorized Officer of the Servicer that a
required amount described in clause (vii) above has not been received by the
Trustee, unless the required amount described in clause (vii) above is paid by
the Servicer prior to such time. Upon the Trustee's obtaining actual knowledge
that a required amount described in clause (vii) above has not been made by the
Servicer, the Trustee shall so notify an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and each of Moody's and S&P as soon as is reasonably
practical.

      (b) The 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 or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities
of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on
by the Servicer at the date of this Agreement. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to
such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Sponsor and the
Certificate Insurer.

      (c) No removal or resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until
the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Section.

      (d) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Servicer also shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to a successor servicer or the Trustee
all the books and records (including, without limitation, records kept in
electronic form) that the Servicer has maintained for the Mortgage Loans,
including all tax bills, assessment notices, insurance premium notices and all
other documents as well as all original documents then in the Servicer's
possession.

      (e) Any collections received by the Servicer after removal or resignation
shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly and immediately to
the Trustee or the successor Servicer.

      (f) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee shall act as
the successor Servicer. If, at the time the Servicer is removed or resigns, the
Trustee is unable


                                   95
<PAGE>

to act as successor Servicer, then the Trustee (x) may solicit bids for a
successor Servicer as described below, and (y) pending the appointment of a
successor Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Servicer.
The Trustee shall, if it is unable to obtain a qualifying bid and is prevented
by law from acting as Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or
mortgage servicing institution which is acceptable to the Certificate Insurer
and is experienced in servicing loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans
and has equity of not less than $10,000,000, as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder.

      The compensation of any successor servicer (including, without limitation,
the Trustee) so appointed shall be the aggregate Servicing Fees, together with
the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment
charges or otherwise as provided in Section 8.15.

      (g) In the event the Trustee solicits bids as provided above, the Trustee
shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance
institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the aggregate
Servicing Fees as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise
as provided in Section 8.15. Within thirty days after any such public
announcement, the Trustee shall, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer,
negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
satisfactory bid. The Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Trustee
from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and
assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder.
After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to
the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer's
successor.

      (h) The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession, and the
Servicer shall bear all the costs of transferring all files and records related
to the Mortgage Loans and other reasonable costs necessary to effect such
succession. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and
shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as
applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other
successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay in


                                   96
<PAGE>

making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents
or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Servicer.

      (i) The Trustee or any other successor Servicer, upon assuming the duties
of Servicer hereunder, shall immediately make all Delinquency Advances and pay
all Compensating Interest which the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit
with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that if the Trustee is
acting as successor Servicer, the Trustee shall only be required to make
Delinquency Advances (including the Delinquency Advances described in this
clause (j)) if, in the Trustee's reasonable good faith judgment, such
Delinquency Advances will ultimately be recoverable from the related Mortgage
Loans.

      (j) The Servicer which is being removed or is resigning shall give notice
to the Mortgagors and to each of Moody's and S&P of the transfer of the
servicing to the successor.

      (k) Any successor Servicer shall assume all rights and obligations of the
predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, except those arising before
succession (other than the obligation to make Delinquency Advances) and under
Section 3.

      (l) If the Servicer is removed pursuant to Section 8.20(a) hereof the
Servicer shall remain entitled to reimbursement for Reimbursable Advances to the
extent that the related amounts are thereafter recovered with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans.

      Section 8.21. Inspections by Certificate Insurer; Errors and Omissions
Insurance.

      (a) At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable notice,
the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, or any agents or representatives thereof
may inspect the Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the servicing
operations of the Servicer with any of its officers or directors. The costs and
expenses incurred by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection
with any such examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer.

      (b) The Servicer agrees to maintain (and to cause each Sub-Servicer to
maintain) errors and omissions coverage and a fidelity bond, each at least to
the extent generally maintained by prudent mortgage loan servicers having
servicing portfolios of a similar size.

      Section 8.22. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business
of Servicer. Any corporation into which the Servicer may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, provided (x) that such corporation meets the qualifications set
forth in Section 8.20(f) and (y) that any successor Servicer must meet the
qualifications set forth in Section 8.20(f).


                                   97
<PAGE>

      Section 8.23. Financial Statements. The Servicer understands that, in
connection with the transfer of the Certificates, Owners may request that the
Servicer make available to prospective Owners any quarterly unaudited financial
statement of the Servicer for the then-current fiscal year and annual audited
financial statements of the Servicer for one or more of the most recently
completed five fiscal years for which such statements are available, which
request shall not be unreasonably denied. Such financial statements shall also
be supplied to the Certificate Insurer and each of Moody's and S&P.

      The Servicer also agrees to make available on a reasonable basis to the
Sponsor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, any Owner or any prospective
Owner a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of
answering reasonable questions respecting recent developments affecting the
Servicer or Sub-Servicer or the financial statements of the Servicer or
Sub-Servicer and to permit the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer,
any Owner or any prospective Owner to inspect the Sub-Servicer's servicing
facilities during normal business hours for the purpose of satisfying the
Sponsor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, any Owner or such prospective
Owner that the Servicer has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement.

      Section 8.24. REMIC. The Servicer covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Owners (i) to take no action which would result in the termination of REMIC
status for the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC, (ii) not to engage in
any "prohibited transaction", as such term is defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code and (iii) not to engage in any other action which may result in the
imposition of any other taxes under the Code.

      Section 8.25. The Designated Depository Institution. The Servicer shall
give the Sponsor, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer (a) at least thirty
days' prior written notice of any anticipated change of the Designated
Depository Institution at which any Account is maintained and (b) written notice
of any change in the ratings of such Designated Depository Institution of which
the Servicer is aware, within two Business Days after discovery.

      Section 8.26. Appointment of Custodian. If the Servicer in good faith
determines that the Trustee is unable to deliver Files to the Servicer as
required pursuant to Section 8.14 hereof, the Servicer shall so notify the
Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer, S&P, Moody's and the Trustee, and make request
that a custodian acceptable to the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer be
appointed to retain custody of the Files on behalf of the Trustee. The Trustee
and the Sponsor agree to co-operate reasonably with the Servicer in connection
with the appointment of such custodian.

      Section 8.27. Indemnification by the Sponsor and Servicer. The Sponsor and
Servicer each jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold the Trust,
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses
that the Trust may sustain in any way related to (i) the breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Sponsor or the Servicer under this
Agreement or the Master Transfer Agreement or (ii) the failure of the Sponsor or
the Servicer


                                   98
<PAGE>

to perform their respective duties in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement or the Master Transfer Agreement. The provisions of this section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding
Certificates.

                               ARTICLE IX

                          TERMINATION OF TRUST

      Section 9.1. Termination of Trust. The Trust created hereunder and all
obligations created by this Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the
payment to the Owners of all Certificates from amounts other than those
available under the Certificate Insurance Policy of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to such Owners pursuant to this Agreement upon
the later to occur of (a) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance
made with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate or (b)
the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Estate, (ii) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of
the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC is effected as described below or
(iii) as described in Section 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 hereof. To effect a termination
of this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Owners of all Certificates
then Outstanding shall (x) unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-
Tier REMIC, as contemplated by Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and (y) provide to
the Trustee an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to
the effect that such liquidation constitutes a Qualified Liquidation, and the
Trustee either shall sell the Mortgage Loans and distribute the proceeds of the
liquidation of the Trust Estate, or shall distribute equitably in kind all of
the assets of the Trust Estate to the remaining Owners of the Certificates based
on their interests in the Trust, each in accordance with such plan, so that the
liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution of any
proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of this Agreement occur no later
than the close of the 90th day after the date of adoption of the plan of
liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as a Qualified Liquidation. In no
event, however, will the Trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the
expiration of twenty-one (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 United Kingdom, living on the date hereof. The Trustee shall give written
notice of termination of the Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth in
Section 11.5.

      Section 9.2. Termination Upon Option of Class RL Certificate Owners and
Servicer.

      (a) On any Remittance Date on or after the Remittance Date on which the
then-outstanding Aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust
Estate is less than or equal to ten percent of the sum of the Aggregate Loan
Balance of all Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate as of the Cut-Off Date, the
Owners of the Class RL Certificates and the Servicer, acting directly or through
one or more affiliates, may determine to purchase and


                                   99
<PAGE>

may cause the purchase from the Trust of all (but not fewer than all) Mortgage
Loans in the Trust Estate and all property theretofore acquired in respect of
any such Mortgage Loan by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise
then remaining in the Trust Estate at a price equal to the sum of (w) the
greater of (i) 100% of the Aggregate Loan Balance of the related Mortgage Loans
and related accrued interest as of the day of purchase minus the amount actually
remitted by the Servicer representing the related Monthly Remittance Amount on
such Remittance Date for the related Remittance Period and (ii) the fair market
value of such Mortgage Loans (disregarding accrued interest), (x) the amount of
any difference between the Monthly Remittance Amount actually remitted by the
Servicer on such Remittance Date and the Monthly Remittance Amount due on such
Remittance Date and (y) the Reimbursement Amount, if any, as of such Remittance
Date (such amount, the "Termination Price"). The right of the Owners of the
Class RL Certificates so to exercise such optional purchase right is superior to
such right of the Servicer. The Servicer may only exercise such optional right
if the Owners of the Class RL Certificates decline to do so. In connection with
such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate
Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding
such purchase.

      (b) In connection with any such purchase, the Servicer shall provide to
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel, at the expense of
the Servicer, experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such
purchase constitutes a Qualified Liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC.

      (c) Promptly following any such purchase, the Trustee will release the
Files to the Servicer, or otherwise upon their order, in a manner similar to
that described in Section 8.14 hereof.

      (d) If the Servicer does not exercise its option pursuant to this Section
9.2 with respect to the Trust Estate, then the Certificate Insurer may do so on
the same terms.

      Section 9.3. Termination Upon Loss of REMIC Status.

      (a) Following a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or by
a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case from which no appeal is taken
within the permitted time for such appeal, or if any appeal is taken, following
a final determination of such appeal from which no further appeal can be taken,
to the effect that either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC does not
and will no longer qualify as a "REMIC" pursuant to Section 860D of the Code
(the "Final Determination"), on any Remittance Date on or after the date which
is 30 calendar days following such Final Determination, (i) the Owners of a
majority in Percentage Interest represented by the Class A Certificates then
Outstanding may direct the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete liquidation with
respect to the Trust Estate and (ii) the Certificate Insurer may notify the
Trustee of the Certificate Insurer's determination to purchase from the Trust
all (but not fewer than all) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate and all property
theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise
in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Trust Estate at a price
equal to the


                                  100
<PAGE>

Termination Price. In connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to
the Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account
for deposit in the Certificate Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have
occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

      (b) Upon receipt of such direction from the Owners of such Class A
Certificates or such notice from the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall
notify the holders of the Class RL Certificates of such election to liquidate or
such determination to purchase, as the case may be, (the "Termination Notice").
The Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interest of the Class RL Certificates
then Outstanding may, on any Remittance Date, within 60 days from the date of
receipt of the Termination Notice (the "Purchase Option Period"), at their
option, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than all) Mortgage Loans in
the Trust Estate, and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in
lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining
in the Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to the Termination Price.

      (c) If, during the Purchase Option Period, the Owners of the Class RL
Certificates have not exercised the option described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, then upon the expiration of the Purchase Option Period (i)
in the event that the Owners of the Class A Certificates have given the Trustee
the direction described in clause (a)(i) above, the Trustee shall sell the
Mortgage Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust
Estate, such that, if so directed, the liquidation of the Trust Estate and the
distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation occur no later than the close
of the 60th day, or such later day as the Owners of the Class A Certificates
shall permit or direct in writing, after the expiration of the Purchase Option
Period and (ii) in the event that the Certificate Insurer has given the Trustee
notice of the Certificate Insurer's determination to purchase the Mortgage Loans
in the Trust Estate described in clause (a)(ii) preceding, the Certificate
Insurer shall, on any Remittance Date within 60 days after such notice, purchase
all (but not fewer than all) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate, and all
property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Trust Estate. In
connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all
amounts then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the
Certificate Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.

      (d) Following a Final Determination, the Owners of a majority of the
Percentage Interest of the Class RL Certificates then Outstanding may, at their
option on any Remittance Date and upon delivery to the Owners of the Class A
Certificates and the Certificate Insurer of an opinion of counsel experienced in
federal income tax matters selected by the Owners of such Class RL Certificates
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to a
majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class A Certificates
then Outstanding and the Certificate Insurer, to the effect that the effect of
the Final Deter mination is to increase substantially the probability that the
gross income of the Trust will be subject to federal taxation, purchase from the
Trust all (but not fewer than all) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate, and all
property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu


                                  101
<PAGE>

of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining in
the Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to the Termination Price. In
connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all
amounts then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the
Certificate Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase. The foregoing opinion shall be deemed satisfactory
unless the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interest represented by the
Class A Certificates then Outstanding or the Certificate Insurer give the Owners
of a majority of the Percentage Interest of the Class RL Certificates notice
that such opinion is not satisfactory within thirty days after receipt of such
opinion.

      Section 9.4. Disposition of Proceeds. The Trustee shall, upon receipt
thereof, deposit the proceeds of any liquidation of the Trust Estate pursuant to
this Article IX to the Certificate Account; provided, however, that any amounts
representing Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Delinquency Advances or unreimbursed
Servicing Advances theretofore funded by the Servicer from the Servicer's own
funds shall be paid by the Trustee to the Servicer from such proceeds.

      Section 9.5. Netting of Amounts. If any Person paying the Termination
Price would receive a portion of the amount so paid, such Person may net any
such amount against the Termination Price otherwise payable.

                                ARTICLE X

                               THE TRUSTEE

      Section 10.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

      (a) The Trustee (i) except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on
its part, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
furnished pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but
in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, shall be under a duty
to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
of this Agreement.

      During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or
use under the circumstances with respect to such person's property or affairs.

      (b) Notwithstanding the appointment of the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
is hereby empowered, but prior to the Trustee assuming the duties of the

Section 8.20, shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible to perform the
duties of the Servicer. Specifically, and not in limitation of the foregoing,
the Trustee shall have the power (but not the obligation if prior to the Trustee
assuming the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.20):

           (i)      to collect Mortgagor payments;

           (ii)     to foreclose on defaulted Mortgage Loans;

           (iii)    to enforce due-on-sale clauses and to enter into assumption
                    and substitution agreements as permitted by Section 8.12
                    hereof;

           (iv)     to deliver instruments of satisfaction pursuant to Section
                    8.14 hereof;

           (v)      to make Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances and to
                    pay Compensating Interest, all as provided in this
                    Agreement; and

           (vi)     to enforce the Mortgage Loans.

      (c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

           (i)      this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
                    of subsection (a) of this Section;

           (ii)     the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
                    made in good faith by an Authorized Officer, unless it shall
                    be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
                    pertinent facts; and

           (iii)    the Trustee shall not 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 Sponsor, the
                    Certificate Insurer or, with the Certificate Insurer's
                    consent, of the Owners of a majority in Percentage Interest
                    of the Certificates of the affected Class or Classes and the
                    Certificate Insurer relating to the time, method and place
                    of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
                    Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
                    Trustee, under this Agreement relating to such Certificates;

           (iv)     the Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
                    deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default by the
                    Servicer unless the Trustee shall have received written
                    notice thereof. In the absence of actual receipt of such
                    notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no
                    such default; and


                                  103
<PAGE>

           (v)      subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and
                    without limiting the generality of this Section, the Trustee
                    shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or
                    depositing of this Agreement, any Mortgage or any agreement
                    referred to herein or any financing statement or
                    continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to
                    see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
                    depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing
                    of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see the
                    payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other
                    governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
                    owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any
                    property of the Trust, (D) to confirm or verify the contents
                    of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to
                    the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the
                    Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
                    by the proper party or parties.

      (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

      (e) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in
any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement
except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and
be vested with the rights, duties and powers and privileges of, the Servicer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      (f) The permissive right of the Trustee to take actions enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be
answerable for other than its own negligence or willful misconduct.

      (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any suit, or to
take any remedial proceeding under this Agreement, or to take any steps in the
execution of the trusts hereby created or in the enforcement of any rights and
powers hereunder until it shall be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
against any and all costs and expenses, outlays and counsel fees and other
reasonable disbursements and against all liability, except liability which is
adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or willful misconduct, in
connection with any action so taken.

      (b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may
resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Certificate
Insurer and to the Sponsor and by mailing notice of resignation by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the
Register. A copy of such notice shall be sent by the resigning Trustee to

Authorized Officer of the Sponsor, one copy of which instrument shall be

resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee, or any Owner may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it

      (c) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section
10.8 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the

<PAGE>

Insurer, the Sponsor or the Certificate Insurer may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed on
behalf of the Trust by an Authorized Officer of the Sponsor or the Certificate
Insurer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

      (d) The Majority Owners, or, if there are no Class A Certificates then
Outstanding, by a majority of the Class B Certificates then Outstanding, may at
any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the
Certificate Insurer by delivering to the Trustee to be removed, to the successor
trustee so appointed, to the Sponsor and to the Certificate Insurer, copies of
the record of the act taken by the Owners, as provided for in Sections 11.3 and
11.4 hereof.

      (e) If the Trustee fails to perform its duties in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or becomes ineligible to serve as Trustee, the Sponsor,
the Seller or the Certificate Insurer may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, signed by the Sponsor,
the Seller or the Certificate Insurer duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to each of the Sponsor, the Seller and to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor trustee so appointed.

      (f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, the
Sponsor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee satisfying the eligibility
requirements of Section 10.8.

notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid to the Owners as their
names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name
of the successor trustee and the address of its corporate trust office.

      Section 10.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Every
successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder and stating its eligibility to serve as
Trustee hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder; but, on request of
the Sponsor or the successor trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all of the rights, powers and trusts of
the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor trustee all property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to
act hereunder. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Sponsor on behalf
of the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts.


                                  109
<PAGE>

      Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section, the Sponsor shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Owners at their last addresses appearing upon the Register. The
Sponsor shall send a copy of such notice to Moody's and S&P. If the Sponsor
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Sponsor.

      No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article X.

      Section 10.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business
of the Trustee. Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however,
that such corporation or association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article X. In case any Certificates have been executed, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such Trustee may adopt such execution and deliver the
Certificates so executed with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had
itself executed such Certificates.

      Section 10.12. Reporting; Withholding.

      (a) The Trustee shall timely provide to the Owners the Internal Revenue
Service's Form 1099 and any other statement required by applicable Treasury
regulations as determined by the Sponsor, and shall withhold, as required by
applicable law, federal, state or local taxes, if any, applicable to
distributions to the Owners, including, but not limited to, backup withholding
under Section 3406 of the Code and the withholding tax on distributions to
foreign investors under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

      (b) The Trustee shall timely file all reports required to be filed by the
Trust with any federal, state or local governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Trust, including other reports that must be filed with the
Owners, such as the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1066 and Schedule Q and the
form required under Section 6050K of the Code, if applicable. Furthermore, the
Trustee shall report to Owners, if required, with respect to the allocation of
expenses pursuant to Section 212 of the Code in accordance with the specific
instructions to the Trustee by the Sponsor with respect to such allocation of
expenses. The Trustee shall collect any forms or reports from the Owners
determined by the Sponsor to be required under applicable federal, state and
local tax laws.

      (c) The Trustee shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service and to
persons described in section 860(e)(3) and (6) of the Code the information
described in Treasury Regulation section 1.860D-1(b)(5)(ii), or any successor
regulation thereto. Such information


                                  110
<PAGE>

will be provided in the manner described in Treasury Regulation section
1.860E-2(a)(5), or any successor regulation thereto.

      (d) The Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall provide, or cause to
be provided, to the Trustee any information necessary to enable the Trustee to
meet its obligations under subsections (a), (b) and (c) above.

      Section 10.13. Liability of the Trustee. Except during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Trustee shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Trustee herein. Neither the Trustee nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Trustee shall be under any liability on any
Certificate or otherwise to any Account, the Certificate Insurer, the Sponsor,
the Servicer or any Owner 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 Trustee
or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by
reason of negligent action, negligent failure to act or bad faith in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Trustee shall not be
liable for losses on investments of amounts in any Account (except for any
losses on obligations on which the bank serving as Trustee is the obligor). In
addition, the Sponsor and Servicer covenant and agree to indemnify the Trustee,
and when the Trustee is acting as Servicer, the Servicer, from, and hold it
harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
(including all reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) other than
those resulting from the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith on any certificate,
notice or other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by the Authorized Officer of any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Outstanding Certificates.

      Section 10.14. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate or any Property may at the time be located, the Servicer and
the Trustee acting jointly and with the consent of the Certificate Insurer 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, of all or any part of the Trust Estate or separate
Trustee or separate Trustees of any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Owners, such
title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 10.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If
the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case any event indicated in
Sections 8.20(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone (with
the consent of the Certificate Insurer) shall have


                                  111
<PAGE>

the power to make such appointment. No co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under
Section 10.8 and no notice to Owners of the appointment of any co-Trustee or
separate Trustee shall be required under Section 10.8.

      Every separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent permitted, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

           (i)      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 (it being understood that such
                    separate Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized to act
                    separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except
                    to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
                    which any particular act or acts are to be performed
                    (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
                    Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
                    unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
                    rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
                    holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof
                    in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
                    singly by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee, but solely at
                    the direction of the Trustee;

           (ii)     No co-Trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
                    reason of any act or omission of any other co-Trustee
                    hereunder; and

           (iii)    The Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly and with the
                    consent of the Certificate Insurer may at any time accept
                    the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or
                    co-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 Section 10.14. Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer.

      Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee or co-Trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed,


                                  112
<PAGE>

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.

      The Trustee shall give to Moody's, the Sponsor and the Certificate Insurer
notice of the appointment of any co-Trustee or separate Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application
or request by the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer or the Owners
to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the
Sponsor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer or the Owners, as the case may
be, shall furnish to the Trustee a certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed
action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application
or request as to which the furnishing of any documents is specifically required
by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or
request, no additional certificate need be furnished.

      Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each certificate or
opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in
this Agreement shall include:

      (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion
has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

      (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based; and

      (c) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual,
such condition or covenant has been complied with.

      Section 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee. In any case
where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified
by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or
give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons
as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.


                                  113
<PAGE>

      Any certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Sponsor, the Servicer or
the Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an
opinion of counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the opinion is erroneous. Any such certificate
of an Authorized Officer or any opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, one or more Authorized Officers of the Sponsor or of the Servicer, stating
that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession
of the Sponsor or of the Servicer, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any
opinion of counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters,
upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer
of the Sponsor, the Servicer or the Trustee, stating that the information with
respect to such matters is in the possession of such Person, unless such counsel
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any
opinion of counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in
which event such opinion of counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other
counsel's opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel
believes that such counsel and the addressee thereof may reasonably rely upon
the opinion of such other counsel.

      Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

      Section 11.3. Acts of Owners.

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

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


                                  114
<PAGE>

      (c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Register.

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

      Section 11.4. Notices, etc., to Trustee. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of the Owners or other
documents provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with the Trustee by any Owner, the Certificate Insurer or
by the Sponsor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its
corporate trust office as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.

      Section 11.5. Notices and Reports to Owners; Waiver of Notices. Where this
Agreement provides for notice to Owners of any event or the mailing of any
report to Owners, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
each Owner affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be
mailed, at the address of such Owner as it appears on the Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice
or report to Owners is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure
to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed
to any particular Owner shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report
with respect to other Owners, and any notice or report which is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided.

      Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

      In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result
of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Owners when such notice is required to be given pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of giving such notice as
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice.

      Where this Agreement provides for notice to any rating agency that rated
any Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights
or obligations created hereunder.


                                  115
<PAGE>

      Section 11.6. Rules by Trustee and Sponsor. The Trustee may make
reasonable rules for any meeting of Owners. The Sponsor may make reasonable
rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

      Section 11.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Agreement by any party hereto shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

      Section 11.8. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement or in
the Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

      Section 11.9. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the
Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the
Owners, the Certificate Insurer and the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Agreement.

      Section 11.10. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date of any
Remittance Date, any Payment Date, any other date on which any distribution to
any Owner is proposed to be paid, or any date on which a notice is required to
be sent to any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be a
Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or
this Agreement) payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made or mailed on the nominal date of any such Remittance Date, such Payment
Date, or such other date for the payment of any distribution to any Owner or the
mailing of such notice, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in
full on such next succeeding Business Day.

      Section 11.11. Governing Law. In view of the fact that Owners are expected
to reside in many states and outside the United States and the desire to
establish with certainty that this Agreement will be governed by and construed
and interpreted in accordance with the law of a state having a well-developed
body of commercial and financial law relevant to transactions of the type
contemplated herein, this Agreement and each Certificate shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed therein.

      Section 11.12. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

      Section 11.13. Usury. The amount of interest payable or paid on any
Certificate under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount
which shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the
applicable laws of the State of New York or any applicable law of the United
States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such
applicable New York laws, which could lawfully be contracted for,


                                  116
<PAGE>

charged or received (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of
interest on any Certificate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Trust
stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid to the Owner
of such Certificate as a result of an error and the Owner receiving such excess
payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, refund the amount of such excess or, at the
option of such Owner, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such
Certificate, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to
be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of Owners of Certificates for the use,
forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of
such Certificates.

      Section 11.14. Amendment.

      (a) The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Servicer, may at any time and from
time to time, with the prior written approval of the Certificate Insurer but
without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the consent of the Owners,
amend this Agreement, and the Trustee shall consent to such amendment, for the
purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or correcting or supplementing any
provision hereof which may be inconsistent with any other provision hereof, or
to add provisions hereto which are not inconsistent with the provisions hereof,
(ii) upon receipt of an opinion of counsel, the cost of which shall be paid by
the Servicer, experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that no
entity-level tax will be imposed on the Trust or upon the transferor of a
Residual Certificate as a result of the ownership of any Residual Certificate by
a Disqualified Organization, removing the restriction on transfer set forth in
Section 5.8(b) hereof or (iii) complying with the requirements of the Code and
the regulations proposed or promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that any
such action shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel delivered to the
Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of any Owner (without its
written consent).

      (b) The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Servicer may, at any time and from
time to time, with the prior written approval of the Certificate Insurer but
without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the consent of the Owners,
amend this Agreement, and the Trustee is hereby authorized to accept and execute
such amendment, for the purpose of changing the definition of "Specified
Subordinated Amount".

      (c) This Agreement may also be amended by the Trustee, the Sponsor, and
the Servicer at any time and from time to time, with the prior written approval
of the Certificate Insurer and not less than a majority of the Percentage
Interest represented by each affected Class of Certificates then Outstanding,
for the purpose of adding any provisions or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Owners hereunder; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) change in any manner the amount of, or change the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed to any Owner without the consent
of the Owner of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of
Percentage Interests which are required to consent


                                  117
<PAGE>

to any such amendments, without the consent of the Owners of all Certificates of
the Class or Classes affected then Outstanding.

      (d) Each proposed amendment to this Agreement shall be accompanied by an
opinion of counsel nationally recognized in federal income tax matters addressed
to the Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer to the effect that such amendment
would not adversely affect the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC as a REMIC.

      (e) The Sponsor shall provide the Certificate Insurer, the Owners, Moody's
and S&P with copies of any amendments to this Agreement, together with copies of
any opinions or other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith.

      (f) The Trustee shall not be required to enter into any amendment which
affects its rights or obligations hereunder.

      Section 11.15. REMIC Status; Taxes.

      (a) The Tax Matters Person, at its own expense, shall prepare and file or
cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Federal tax or information
returns with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Certificates containing such information and at the times and in such
manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and
shall furnish to Owners such statements or information at the times and in such
manner as may be required thereby. For this purpose, the Tax Matters Person may,
but need not, rely on any proposed regulations of the United States Department
of the Treasury. The Tax Matters Person shall indicate the election to treat
each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC (which election
shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 1997 and each calendar
year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury regulations
may prescribe. The Trustee, as Tax Matters Person appointed pursuant to Section
11.17 hereof shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this
Section 11.15 unless applicable law requires otherwise. The Tax Matters Person
shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, or an agent
of a Disqualified Organization, or a pass-through entity in which a Disqualified
Organization is the record holder of an interest. The Tax Matters Person shall
provide the Trustee with copies of any Federal tax or information returns filed,
or caused to be filed, by the Tax Matters Person with respect to each of the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Certificates.

      (b) The Tax Matters Person, at its own expense, shall timely file all
reports required to be filed by the Trust and each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and
the Upper-Tier REMIC with any federal, state or local governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Trust, including other reports that must be filed
with the Owners, such as the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1066 and Schedule Q
and the form required under Section 6050K of the Code, if applicable to REMICs.
Furthermore, the Tax Matters Person shall report to Owners, if required, with
respect to the allocation of expenses pursuant to Section 212 of the


                                  118
<PAGE>

Code in accordance with the specific instructions to the Tax Matters Person by
the Sponsor with respect to such allocation of expenses. The Tax Matters Person
shall collect any forms or reports from the Owners determined by the Sponsor to
be required under applicable federal, state and local tax laws.

      (c) The Tax Matters Person, at its own expense, shall provide to the
Internal Revenue Service and to persons described in Section 860E(e)(3) and (6)
of the Code the information described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.860D-1(b)(5)(ii), or any successor regulation thereto. Such information will
be provided in the manner described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.860E(2)(a)(5), or any successor regulation thereto.

      (d) The Sponsor covenants and agrees that within ten Business Days after
the Startup Day it shall provide to the Trustee any information necessary to
enable the Trustee to meet its obligations under subsections (b) and (c) above.

      (e) The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Servicer each covenants and agrees
for the benefit of the Owners (i) to take no action which would result in the
termination of "REMIC" status for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC,
(ii) not to engage in any "prohibited transaction", as such term is defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and (iii) not to engage in any other action which
may result in the imposition on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC of
any other taxes under the Code.

      (f) Each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall, for
federal income tax purposes, maintain books on a calendar year basis and report
income on an accrual basis.

      (g) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.6(b), no Eligible
Investment shall be sold prior to its stated maturity (unless sold pursuant to a
plan of liquidation in accordance with Article IX hereof).

      (h) Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement
by which the Trustee will receive a fee or other compensation for services
rendered pursuant to this Agreement, which fee or other compensation is paid
from the Trust Estate, other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

      (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (g) and (h), the Trustee or the
Sponsor may engage in any of the transactions prohibited by such clauses,
provided that the Trustee shall have received (not at the expense of the Trust
or the Trustee) an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters
to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the
Trust or cause a termination of REMIC status for the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC; provided, however, that such transaction is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement.


                                  119
<PAGE>

      Section 11.16. Additional Limitation on Action and Imposition of Tax.

      (a) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall not, without having obtained (not at the expense of the Trust or
the Trustee) an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to
the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust
or cause a termination of REMIC status for the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC, (i) sell any assets in the Trust Estate, (ii) accept any
contribution of assets after the Startup Day or (iii) agree to any amendment of
this Agreement under Section 11.14 hereof.

      (b) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier
REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any
other tax is imposed, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if such tax
arises out of or results from a material breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer, if such tax arises out of
or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, or otherwise (iii) the Owners of the Class B Certificates in
proportion to their Percentage Interests. To the extent such tax is chargeable
against the Owners of the Class B Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of the Class B Certificates on any
Payment Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Trustee for the payment of such
tax (to the extent that the Trustee has not been previously reimbursed or
indemnified therefor). The Trustee agrees to first seek indemnification for any
such tax payment from any indemnifying parties before reimbursing itself from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of the Class B Certificates.

      Section 11.17. Appointment of Tax Matters Person. A Tax Matters Person
will be appointed for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC for
all purposes of the Code and such Tax Matters Person will perform, or cause to
be performed, without any right of reimbursement, such duties and take, or cause
to be taken, such actions as are required to be performed or taken by the Tax
Matters Person under the Code, including, but not limited to, the representation
of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC in any tax audit
(including any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect thereto that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities). The Owners of
the Class RL and Class RU Certificates hereby designate the Trustee, acting as
their respective agent, to be the Tax Matters Person for the Lower-Tier REMIC
and the Upper-Tier REMIC

      Section 11.18. The Certificate Insurer. The Certificate Insurer is a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Any right conferred to the
Certificate Insurer shall be suspended during occurrence and continuance of a
Certificate Insurer Default. During any period of suspension the Certificate
Insurer's rights hereunder shall vest in the Owners of the Class A Certificates
and shall be exercisable by the Owners of at least a majority in Percentage
Interest of the Class A Certificates then Outstanding or if there are no Class A


                                  120
<PAGE>

Certificates then Outstanding, by such Percentage Interest represented by the
Class B Certificates then Outstanding. At such time as the Class A Certificates
are no longer Outstanding hereunder and the Certificate Insurer has been
reimbursed for all Insured Payments to which it is entitled hereunder, the
Certificate Insurer's rights hereunder shall terminate.

      Section 11.19. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given as follows,

Agreement, (iii) any Mortgaged Property, the ownership of which has been
effected in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust as a result of
foreclosure or acceptance by the Servicer of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and
that has not been withdrawn from the Trust Estate, (iv) any Insurance Policies
and any rights of the Sponsor in any Insurance Policies and (v) Net Liquidation
Proceeds.

      The Original Principal Amount set forth above is equal to the product of
(i) the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate and (ii) the
aggregate original principal amount of the Class A-1 Certificates on March 27,
1997 (the "Startup Date"), which aggregate amount as of March 27, 1997 was
$29,400,000 (the "Original Principal Amount"). The Owner hereof is entitled to
principal payments on each Payment Date, as hereinafter described, which will
fully amortize such Original Principal Amount over the period from the date of
initial delivery hereof to the final Payment Date of the Class A-1 Certificates.
Therefore, the actual outstanding principal amount of this Certificate, on any
date subsequent to April 25, 1997 (the first Payment Date) will be less than the
Original Principal Amount set forth above.

      Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner hereof is required
to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
provides that, in any event, upon the making of the final distribution due on
this Certificate, this Certificate shall be deemed canceled for all purposes
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      SOLELY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS AN
INTEREST IN A CLASS OF "REGULAR INTERESTS" IN A "REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE INVESTMENT

COMPLIANCE WITH THE REMIC PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.

      THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND, NOTWITHSTANDING
REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY PERSON IS
REPRESENTED HEREBY.

      NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE INSURED OR
GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL

Asset-Backed Certificates, Class A-1 Fixed Rate Certificates (the "Class A-1
Certificates") and issued under and subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and

assents and by which such Owner is bound. Also issued under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates,
Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class B Certificates and the
Residual Certificates; all such Certificates are collectively referred to herein
as the "Certificates."

      Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      On the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, then
the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a "Payment Date")
commencing April 25, 1997, the Owners of the Class A-1 Certificates as of the
close of business on the last business day of the calendar month immediately
preceding the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs (or, with respect
to the first Payment Date, the close of business on March 27, 1997) (the "Record
Date") will be entitled to receive the Class A-1 Distribution Amount relating to
such Payment Date. Distributions will be made in immediately available funds to
such Owners, by wire transfer or otherwise, to the account of an Owner at a
domestic bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such
Owner has so notified the Trustee at least five business days prior to the
related record date, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Register.

      Each Owner of Record of a Class A-1 Certificate will be entitled to
receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts distributed on such
Payment Date to the Owners of the Class A-1 Certificates. The Percentage
Interest of each Class A-1 Certificate as of any date of determination will be
equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the Original Principal Amount set
forth on such Class A-1 Certificate by $29,400,000.

      Pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy, the Certificate Insurer is
required, to the extent of any insufficiency in Available Funds, to make Insured
Payments available to the Trustee necessary to distribute the amount of the
Insured Distribution Amount payable with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates
on each Payment Date.

      Upon receipt of amounts under the Certificate Insurance Policy on behalf
of the Owners of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing

 
                                      A-1-3

to which such Owners may be entitled.

      The Trustee is required to duly and punctually pay distributions with
respect to this Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof and the Pooling

to any Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such
Owner for all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the
Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with certain institutions
eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration
of certain Mortgage Loans. No appointment of any Sub-Servicer shall release the
Servicer from any of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other obligation of, or
an interest in, nor are the underlying Mortgage Loans insured or guaranteed by,
EquiVantage Acceptance Corp., EquiVantage Inc., any Originator or any of their
subsidiaries and affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
Mortgage Loans are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association or any other

collections and recoveries and amounts on deposit in the Accounts (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and payments received
by the Trustee pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy, all as more
specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms hereof.

      Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which is absolute
and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Owner.

      The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides that (i) the
Owners of the Class RL Certificates or, if such Owners decline to exercise, the
Servicer or, if the Servicer declines to exercise, the Certificate Insurer, may,
at their respective options, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than
all) remaining Mortgage Loans and other property then constituting the Trust
Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Class A-1 Certificates, on
any Remittance Date when the aggregate outstanding Loan Balances of the Mortgage
Loans in the Trust Estate is 10% or less of the sum of the original aggregate
Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate as of the Cut-Off Date
and (ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of the

transferee or transferees.

      The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Payment
Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling

certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-1 Certificates are exchangeable

      The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

      The registered Owner named above is the registered Owner of a fractional
interest in (i) a pool of fixed rate and adjustable rate, closed-end mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") which will be formed by EquiVantage Acceptance
Corp. ("EquiVantage" or the "Sponsor"), a Delaware corporation, and sold by the
Sponsor to Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, a national banking
association, as trustee (the "Trustee") on behalf of EquiVantage Home Equity

"Servicer"), (ii) such amounts, including Eligible Investments and the proceeds
of payments under the Certificate Insurance Policy, as from time to time may be
held in the related Accounts (except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), each created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (iii) any Mortgaged Property, the ownership of which has been
effected in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust as a result of

principal payments on each Payment Date, as hereinafter described, which will

Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with certain institutions
eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration
of certain Mortgage Loans. No appointment of any Sub-Servicer shall release the
Servicer from any of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Pooling

      Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which is absolute
and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided in the Pooling

Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Class A-3 Certificates, on
any Remittance Date when the aggregate outstanding Loan Balances of the Mortgage
Loans in the Trust Estate is 10% or less of the sum of the original aggregate
Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate as of the Cut-Off Date

      The registered Owner named above is the registered Owner of a fractional
interest in (i) a pool of fixed rate and adjustable rate, closed-end mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") which will be formed by EquiVantage Acceptance
Corp. ("EquiVantage" or the "Sponsor"), a Delaware corporation, and sold by the
Sponsor to Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, a national banking
association, as trustee (the "Trustee") on behalf of EquiVantage Home Equity

and among the Sponsor, the Trustee and EquiVantage Inc., as Servicer (the
"Servicer"), (ii) such amounts, including Eligible Investments and the proceeds
of payments under the Certificate Insurance Policy, as from time to time may be
held in the related Accounts (except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), each created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (iii) any Mortgaged Property, the ownership of which has been
effected in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust as a result of

Loans in the Trust Estate is 10% or less of the sum of the original aggregate
Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate as of the Cut-Off Date
and (ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of the

      This Certificate is one of a Class of duly-authorized Certificates
designated as EquiVantage Home Equity Loan Trust 1997-1, Home Equity Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Class RL (the "Class RL Certificates") and issued
under and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Owner of this
Certificate by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is
bound. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are Certificates
designated as the Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates, and Class RU
Certificates (together with the Class RL Certificates, the "Certificates.")

      Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      On the 25th day of each month, or, if such day is not a Business Day, then
the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a "Payment Date"),
commencing April 25, 1997, to the Owners of the Class RL Certificates as of the
close of business on the first Business Day of the calendar month in which such
Payment Date occurs (the "Record Date"), the Trustee will distribute to each
Owner of the Class RL Certificates such Owner's Percentage Interest multiplied
by the amounts then available to be distributed to the Owners of the Class RL
Certificates. No significant distributions are anticipated to be made.

      Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner hereof is required
to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
provides that, in any event, upon the making of the final distribution due on
this Certificate, this Certificate shall be deemed canceled for all purposes
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      The Trustee is required to duly and punctually pay distributions with
respect to this Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or applicable
state or local law by any Person from a distribution to any Owner shall be
considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for all purposes of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      EquiVantage Inc., as Servicer, pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement
will service the Mortgage Loans. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the
Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with certain institutions
eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the


                                    C-1-3

Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under either
Servicing Agreement.

      No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms thereof.

      Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which is absolute
and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Owner.

      The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the obligations created
thereby will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the payment to the Owners of all
Certificates of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to such
Owners pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement upon the later to occur
of (a) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (ii) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC is effected as described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

      The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that (i) the Owners of the
Class RL Certificates or, if such Owners decline to exercise, the Servicer or,
if the Servicer declines to exercise, the Certificate Insurer, may, at their
respective options, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than all)
remaining Mortgage Loans and other property then constituting the Trust Estate,
and thereby effect early retirement of the Certificates, on any Remittance Date
when the aggregate outstanding Loan Balances of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust
Estate is 10% or less of the original aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and (ii) under certain circumstances relating to
the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under
the Code, the Mortgage Loans may be sold, thereby affecting the early retirement
of the Certificates.

      The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.

      As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face hereof, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated as the
location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement duly executed by, the Owner hereof or his

attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of like Class, tenor and a like Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or other transfer of record or
beneficial ownership of a Class RL Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Class RL
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act nor a plan
nor other arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a
"Plan"), nor is acting on behalf of any Plan nor using the assets of any Plan to
affect such transfer.

      The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Payment
Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class RL Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class RL Certificates evidencing the same Percentage Interest as the Class RL
Certificates exchanged.

      No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or

less of the original aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date and (ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualifications
of the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, the
Mortgage Loans may be sold, thereby affecting the early retirement of the
Certificates.

      The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.

      As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face hereof, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated as the
location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement duly executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of like Class, tenor and a
like Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or other transfer of record or
beneficial ownership of a Class RU Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Class RU
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act nor a plan
nor other arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a
"Plan"), nor is acting on behalf of any Plan nor using the assets of any Plan to
affect such transfer.

      The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Payment
Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

      The Class RU Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates. As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class RU Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class RU Certificates evidencing the same Percentage Interest as the Class RU
Certificates exchanged.

      No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

      The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

Financial Guaranty will make an Insured Payment (other than that portion of an

as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and herein, whether or not 
such funds are properly applied by the Trustee.

If the payment of any portion or all of any amount that is insured hereunder is
voided pursuant to a final order of a court exercising proper jurisdiction in an
insolvency proceeding to the effect that the Trustee or the Certificateholder,
as the case may be, is required to return any such payment or portion thereof
prior to the expiration date of this Surety Bond because such payment was voided
under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which order the appeal period
has expired without an appeal having been filed (a "Final Order"), and, as a
result, the Trustee or any Certificateholder is required to return such voided
payment, or any portion of such voided payment made in respect of the
Certificates (a "Preference Amount"), Financial Guaranty will pay on the
guarantee described in the first paragraph hereof, an amount equal to each such
Preference Amount, on the second Business Day following receipt by Financial
Guaranty of (x) a certified copy of the Final Order, (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Financial Guaranty, irrevocably assigning to
Financial Guaranty all rights and claims of the Trustee and/or such
Certificateholder relating to or arising under such Preference Amount and
appointing Financial Guaranty as the agent of the Trustee and/or such
Certificateholder in respect of such Preference Amount, and (z) a Notice 
appropriately completed and executed by the Trustee or such Certificateholder,
as the case may be.  Such payment shall be made to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not
to the Trustee or  Certificateholder directly (unless a Certificateholder has
previously paid such amount to such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession
or trustee named in such Final Order in which case payment shall be made to the
Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholder upon proof of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to Financial Guaranty).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall Financial Guaranty be (i) required to make any payment under
this Surety Bond in respect of any Preference Amount to the extent such
Preference Amount is comprised of amounts previously paid by Financial Guaranty
hereunder, or (ii) obligated to make any payment in respect of any Preference
Amount, which payment represents a payment of the principal amount of the
Certificates, prior to the time Financial Guaranty otherwise would have been
required to make a payment in respect of such principal.

Financial Guaranty shall make payments due in respect of Preference Amounts
prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day following
Financial Guaranty's receipt of the documents required under clauses (x) through

          in good standing under the laws governing its creation and existence
          and is in good standing as a foreign corporation as applicable, in
          each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, or the

          own and operate its properties, to carry out its business as presently
          conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into and discharge

     (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Originator and its
          performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the
          Conveyance Agreements to which it is a party have been duly authorized
          by all necessary action on the part of the Originator and will not
          violate the Originator's Articles of Incorporation 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 a breach of,
          any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the
          Originator is a party or by which the Originator is bound or violate
          any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court,
          governmental agency or body or other tribunal having jurisdiction over
          the Originator or any of its properties.

    (iii) This Agreement and the Conveyance Agreements to which the Originator 
          is a party, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
          other parties hereto and thereto, each constitutes a valid, legal and
          binding obligation of the Originator, enforceable against it in
          accordance with the terms hereof, except as the enforcement thereof
          may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
          moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally
          and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
          proceeding or action in equity or at law).

     (iv) The Originator is not in default with respect to any order or decree
          of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
          municipal or governmental agency, which might have consequences that

          Agreements.

     (v)  Except as described in a related EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement and as disclosed in any Prospectus, no litigation is pending
          or, to the best of the Originator's knowledge, threatened against the
          Originator which litigation is likely to have consequences that would
          prohibit its entering into this Agreement or any Conveyance Agreements
          or that is likely to materially and adversely affect the condition
          (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Originator or its
          properties or might have consequences that would materially and
          adversely affect its performance hereunder and under the Conveyance
          Agreements.

     (vi) No certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report
          delivered pursuant to the terms hereof by the Originator contains any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
          fact necessary to make the certificate, statement or report not
          misleading.

    (vii) Upon the receipt of each Mortgage Loan and other items of the File, 
          including the Note and Mortgage by the Trustee under this Agreement,  
          the related Trust will have good and indefeasible title to such  
          Mortgage Loan and such other items of the related Trust Estate free   
          and clear of any lien (other than liens which will be simultaneously 
          released).

          franchises, orders, permits, authorizations, rights and licenses
          required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, by or

          material respects, and the Registration Statement does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Originator or
          omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary in order to make the statements contained therein with
          respect to the Originator not misleading.

     (xv) The Originator will not, prior to the date that is one year and one
          day after the final payment of any Certificates issued by the
          EquiVantage Trust under the EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement, institute against the Company, or join any other Person in
          instituting against the Company, any bankruptcy, insolvency,
          liquidation, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets or similar
          proceeding or acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the
          Company to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the
          purpose of appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
          custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or
          any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or
          liquidation of the affairs of the Company. 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this paragraph (a) shall survive the sale and assignment by the Originator of
the Mortgage Loans to the Company and by the Company to the related EquiVantage
Trust.

     (b)  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Originator, the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Owners that, as of the date hereof:

          by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and will
          not violate the Company's articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
          organizational documents of the Company 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 contract,
          agreement or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by
          which the Company is bound, or violate any statute or any order, rule

          due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties 
          hereto and thereto, each constitutes a valid, legal and binding
          obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance 
          with the terms hereof and thereof, except as the enforcement 
          hereof and there of may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, 
          insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws 
          affecting creditors' rights generally and by general

          or action in equity or at law).

     (iv) The Company is not in default with respect to any order or decree of
          any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
          municipal or governmental agency, which might have consequences that

          other) or operations of the Company or its properties or might have
          consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
          performance hereunder, under the related Conveyance Agreement and
          under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

     (v)  Except as described in the related EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement and as disclosed in any Prospectus, no litigation is pending
          or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened against the
          Company which litigation might have consequences that would prohibit
          its entering into this Agreement, the related

          adversely affect its performance hereunder, under the related
          Conveyance Agreement and under the other Operative Documents to which
          it is a party.

     (vi) No certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report
          delivered pursuant to the terms hereof by the Company contains any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
          fact necessary to make the certificate, statement or report not
          misleading.

    (vii) The statements contained in the Registration Statement which describe 
          the Company or matters or activities for which the Company is
          responsible in accordance with the Operative Documents or which are
          attributed to the Company therein are true and correct in all material
          respects, and the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue
          statement of a material fact with respect to the Company or omit to
          state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
          order to make the statements contained therein with respect to the
          Company not misleading.  To the best of the Company's knowledge and
          belief, the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue
          statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or omit to
          state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
          make the statements contained therein not misleading.

          required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may be, by or

          securities laws, real estate syndication or "Blue Sky" statutes, as to
          which the Company makes no such representation or warranty), that are

          proceedings or appeals (administrative, judicial or otherwise) and
          either the time within which any appeal therefrom may be taken or
          review thereof may be obtained has expired or no review thereof may be
          obtained or appeal therefrom taken, and are adequate to authorize the
          consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
          related Conveyance Agreement and the other Operative Documents on the
          part of the Company and the performance by the Company of its
          obligations under this Agreement, the related Conveyance Agreement and
          under such of the other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

     (ix) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary
          course of business of the Company.

     (x)  The Company is receiving fair consideration and reasonably equivalent
          value in exchange for the sale of the interests in the Mortgage Loans
          evidenced by the related EquiVantage Trust Certificates.

     (xi) The Company is not selling any interest in any Mortgage Loan evidenced
          by the related EquiVantage Trust Certificates with any intent to
          hinder, delay or defraud any of its respective creditors.

    (xii) The Company is solvent and the Company will not be rendered insolvent 
          as a result of the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust or the sale
          of the related EquiVantage Trust Certificates.

The representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph (b) shall survive
the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Company and the sale and
assignment of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to the related EquiVantage
Trust.  Upon discovery of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Originator, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the other.  Within 30 days of its receipt of notice of breach, the Company
shall cure such breach in all material respects.

     Section 5.     Representations and Warranties of the Originator Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.  (a)  Set forth in paragraph (b) below, are listings of
representations and warranties which are hereby made by the Originator to the
Company in connection with each purchase of a Pool with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans in such Pool as of the related Cut-Off Date.  In addition, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related Pool, a Conveyance Agreement may
delete or modify any of such representations and warranties or may add
additional representations and warranties (the Company may also modify, add or
delete any such representations and warranties in the related EquiVantage
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (collectively, any such modified or additional
representations and warranties, the "Additional Representations and
Warranties"); provided, however, that all such deletions, additions or
modifications shall have been approved by the Certificate Insurer.  The
representations and warranties listed in paragraphs (a) and (b), together with
any Additional Representations and Warranties, constitute the representations
and warranties under this Section 5.  The parties hereto agree that the
representations and warranties are incorporated by reference into the related
EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer may pursue all of the Company's rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any breach of a representation and warranty in the
same manner as if the Trustee, or the Certificate Insurer, as the case may be,
were a party to this Agreement.

     (b)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-Off Date, the
Originator hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, the
Certificate Insurer, Servicer and the Trustee as follows; the Originator
acknowledges that the Trustee will be relying on such 

                                          11


<PAGE>

representations, warranties and covenants in accepting the Mortgage Loans from
the Company and that the Certificate Insurer will be relying thereon in issuing
the Certificate Insurance Policy:

     (i)  Such Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the Originator and as
          of the Startup Day the related Mortgage creates a valid lien on the
          related Property securing the amount owed by the Mortgagor under the
          related Note subject only to (w) the lien of current real property
          taxes and assessments, (x) the lien of any related Senior Lien (as to
          any Mortgage Loan that is not secured by a first priority lien), (y)
          covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and
          other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
          Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to
          mortgage lending institutions generally in the area wherein the
          related Property is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal
          or title policy obtained in connection with the origination of the
          related Mortgage Loan by the Company and the Originator and (z) other
          matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
          materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be
          provided by such Mortgage.

     (ii) No Property consists solely of raw land, an apartment building having
          more than four units or a cooperative apartment.  Each Primary Parcel
          is improved by one or more single (one-to-four) family residential
          dwellings, which may include condominiums, townhouses and manufactured
          homes.

     (iii) Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance by
          the Originator to the Company, the Originator had good title to such
          Mortgage Loan, free of any interest of any other Person, and the
          Originator has sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed all of its
          right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan to the Company.

     (iv) The Originator and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan purchased by the
          Originator, the seller of such Mortgage Loan to the Originator, was
          properly licensed or otherwise authorized, to the extent required by
          applicable law including, without limitation, any "doing business"
          laws, to originate or acquire such Mortgage Loan.  Such Mortgage Loan
          at the time it was made complied or, if the Mortgage Loan was acquired
          and not originated by the Originator, to the best of the Originator's
          knowledge, such Mortgage Loan either (y) complied in all material
          respects with applicable state and federal laws and regulations,
          including, without limitation, the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the
          Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other federal, state and
          local consumer protection, usury, equal credit opportunity, disclosure
          and recording laws or (z) any such lack of compliance under clause (y)
          has been cured such that all such Mortgage Loans acquired and not
          originated by the Originator are materially in compliance pursuant to
          clause (y).  The consummation of the transactions herein 

                                          12


<PAGE>

          contemplated, including, without limitation, the sale of the Mortgage
          Loans to the related EquiVantage Trust, will not violate any such
          state or federal law or regulation.

     (v)  The Originator has not received a notice of default on any Senior Lien
          secured by the related Property which has not been cured by a party
          other than the Originator.

     (vi) Except as provided in the related Conveyance Agreement, none of the
          Mortgage Loans are subject to Section 32 of the Federal
          Truth-in-Lending Act.

    (vii) As of its date of origination, no Mortgage Loan had a Combined Loan-
          to-Value Ratio in excess of the level specified in the related 
          Conveyance Agreement.

   (viii) No Senior Lien or any Mortgage Loan secured by the related Property 
          provides for negative amortization of the principal balance thereof.  

     (ix) Each original Mortgage was recorded, or is in the process of being
          recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have
          been recorded, or are in the process of being recorded, in the
          appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to
          perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Originator and
          any other originator or as against creditors of the Originator's
          predecessors in title, except as otherwise provided for in the related
          EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     (x)  The related Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
          pledged account or other security except the lien of the related
          Mortgage.  Each Senior Lien, if any, on a Property permits the
          granting of a junior lien similar to the related Mortgage Loan without
          consent, or, if consent is required, it has been obtained and is
          contained in the related Mortgage file.

     (xi) As of the related Cut-Off Date, to the best knowledge of the
          Originator, the Property subject to the related Mortgage is free of
          material damage and is in good repair, except for deferred maintenance
          for which sufficient funds have been escrowed.

    (xii) The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of each Mortgage Loan 
          by the Originator to the Company is not subject to the bulk transfer
          laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
          jurisdiction.

   (xiii) Each Mortgage Loan is being serviced by the Servicer or a Sub-   
          Servicer in accordance with the Servicer's standard servicing    
          procedures.


                                          13


<PAGE>

   (xiv)  Each Mortgage Loan is a mortgage loan principally secured by an 
          interest in real property for purposes of the REMIC provisions of 
          the Code and is secured by a first or second priority Mortgage.

     (xv) The credit underwriting guidelines applicable to the origination of
          each Mortgage Loan conformed in all material respects to the
          description thereof set forth in the Prospectus relating to the
          Offered Certificates. None of the Mortgage Loans were selected from
          among the Originator's or any other originator's assets in a manner
          which would cause them to be adversely selected as to credit risk from
          the pool of mortgage loans owned by the Originator.

    (xvi) As of the Startup Day, to the best of the Originator's knowledge, 
          there is no valid and enforceable offset, defense, right of
          rescission, set-off or counterclaim to any Note or Mortgage, including
          the defense of usury, or the obligation of the related Mortgagor to
          pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Note.

   (xvii) If any material improvement to the Property is in an area identified 
          in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
          having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form
          meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal
          Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such material
          improvement located on such Property with a generally acceptable
          carrier in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
          (A) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
          (together, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is not a first priority
          lien, with the outstanding principal balance of any liens that are
          prior to the related Mortgage Loan lien), (B) the minimum amount
          required to compensate for damage or loss to such improvement on a
          replacement cost basis or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is
          available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

  (xviii) Each Mortgage Loan contains a provision for the acceleration of the 
          payment of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
          in the event the related Property is sold without the prior consent of
          the holder of the Mortgage, subject to limitations under applicable
          law.

    (xix) Except as otherwise set forth on the related Schedule of Mortgage 
          Loans, no instrument of release or waiver has been executed in
          connection with any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released,
          in whole or in part, from his or her obligations thereunder, except
          (A) with respect to release of excess acreage, (B) where necessary to
          create a utility easement, (C) release of portions of land, none of
          which materially adversely affects the value of the relevant Property
          or which causes the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio to be
          outside of the underwriting guidelines or (D) in a manner consistent
          with the Originator's or Servicer's ordinary practice.


                                          14


<PAGE>


     (xx) Each Mortgage Loan conforms, and all such Mortgage Loans in the
          aggregate conform, in all material respects to the description thereof
          set forth in the related Prospectus.

    (xxi) The information with respect to each Mortgage Loan set forth in the 
          Schedules of Mortgage Loans is true and correct as of the Cut-Off
          Date.

   (xxii) All of the original or certified documentation set forth in the 
          related EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including all
          material documents related thereto) with respect to each Mortgage 
          Loan has been or will be delivered to the Trustee on the Startup Day
          or as otherwise provided in the related EquiVantage Pooling and 
          Servicing Agreement.

  (xxiii) Each Mortgage Loan being transferred to the Trust is secured by a 
          Mortgage that is a Qualified Mortgage and each Note is in a form that
          is acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders which make mortgage loans
          comparable to the Mortgage Loans.

   (xxiv) Each Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first or second (as shown in 
          the related Schedule of Mortgage Loans) lien of record on the Primary
          Parcel of the related Property subject in all cases to the exceptions
          to title set forth in the title insurance policy or title opinion with
          respect to the related Mortgage Loan, which are exceptions to which
          similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually,
          or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of
          the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.

    (xxv) Prior to the sale to the Company of Mortgage Loans by the Originator, 
          the Originator held good and indefeasible title to, and was the sole
          owner of, each Mortgage Loan subject to no liens, charges, mortgages,
          encumbrances or rights of others except as set forth in clauses
          (viii), (xi) and (xiii) above or other liens which will be released
          simultaneously with such transfer and assignment.

   (xxvi) There is no delinquent tax, ground rent, water charge, sewer rent, 
          insurance premium, leasehold payment or delinquent assessment lien,
          mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or material affecting any
          Property which is or may have a priority over, be a lien prior to, or
          equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except those liens for
          which funds sufficient to discharge such liens are held in escrow by
          the Servicer or by an escrow agent, or which are insured against by
          the title insurance policy.

  (xxvii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, either (A) lender's title 
          insurance policy (or commitment therefor), issued in standard or 
          American Land Title Association form (with modifications, if any,
          approved by the state in which the related 

                                          15


<PAGE>

          Property is located) by a title insurance company authorized to
          transact business in the state in which the related Property is
          situated, in an amount at least equal to the Original Principal Amount
          of such Mortgage Loan insuring the mortgagee's interest under the
          related Mortgage Loan as the holder of a valid first or second
          mortgage lien of record on the real property described in the related
          Mortgage, subject only to a survey exception and other exceptions of
          the character referred to in clauses (xxiv), (xxv) and (xxvi) above
          and (xliv) below, was effective on the date of the origination of such
          Mortgage Loan, and, as of the Closing Date, such policy will be valid
          and thereafter such policy shall continue in full force and effect,
          (B) in those jurisdictions in which it is customary to obtain opinions
          of counsel as to title matters rather than title insurance, an opinion
          of counsel as to the mortgagee's interest under the related Mortgage
          Loan as the holder of a valid first or second mortgage lien of record
          on the real property described in the related Mortgage, was obtained
          in connection with the date or origination of such Mortgage Loan.

 (xxviii) The material improvements upon each Property are covered by a valid 
          and existing hazard insurance policy with a carrier licensed in the
          state in which the Property is located that provides for fire and
          extended coverage representing coverage not less than the least of (A)
          the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and, in
          the case of a Second Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal balance
          of the related Senior Lien, (B) the minimum amount required to
          compensate for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis or (C) the
          full insurable value of the material improvements to the Property, but
          in any event in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to
          avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the
          related insurance policy.  All individual insurance policies are the
          valid and binding obligation of the insurer and contain a standard
          mortgagee clause naming the Servicer on behalf of the Originator, its
          successors and assigns, as mortgagee.  All premiums then due thereon
          have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
          maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense.

   (xxix) Each Mortgage and Note is genuine and constitutes the legal, valid 
          and binding obligation of the maker thereof and is enforceable in
          accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be
          limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
          similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
          and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
          proceeding or action in equity or at law), and to the best of the
          Originator's knowledge all parties to each Mortgage Loan had full
          legal capacity to execute all documents relating to such Mortgage Loan
          and to convey the estate therein purported to be conveyed and each
          Mortgage and Note have been duly and properly executed by such
          parties.

     
                                          16

    (xxx) The Originator has caused and will cause to be performed any and all 
          acts required to be performed to preserve the rights and remedies of
          the Trustee in any Insurance Policies applicable to any of the
          Mortgage Loans delivered by the Originator to the Trustee including,
          without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers,
          assignments of policies or interest therein, and establishments of
          co-insured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the
          Trustee.

   (xxxi) The terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been impaired, 
          altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument
          which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the interest of the
          Trustee, as assignee of the Company, and which has been delivered to
          the Trustee.  The substance of any such alteration or modification
          made prior to the Cut-Off Date is reflected on the related Schedule of
          Mortgage Loans; and any subsequent alteration or modification prior to
          the date hereof has been made only as permitted by the related
          EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

  (xxxii) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to the 
          Mortgagor or into an escrow account (i) for completion of any
          improvements to the related Property or (ii) to establish as an escrow
          fund for payment of taxes and insurance related to the Property.  Each
          Mortgage Loan is a closed-end Mortgage Loan, and there is no
          obligation on the part of the Servicer, the Originator or the
          Originator's assignees to make future advances thereunder at the
          option of the Mortgagor.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in
          making, closing or recording such Mortgage Loans have been paid or
          will be paid from escrowed funds.

 (xxxiii) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other 
          contingent interest feature.

  (xxxiv) As of the Cut-Off Date, the percentage of Mortgage Loans stated in the
          related Conveyance Agreement were originated pursuant to a "no-income
          verification" program.

   (xxxv) Any advances made after the date of origination of a Mortgage Loan but
          prior to the Cut-Off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding
          principal amount secured by the related Mortgage, and the secured
          principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and
          single repayment term as reflected on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans. 
          The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the Original
          Principal Amount of the related Mortgage Loan.

  (xxxvi) To the best of the Company's knowledge, there is no proceeding pending
          or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Property,
          nor is such a proceeding currently occurring, and each Property is
          undamaged by waste, fire, 

                                          17

          earthquake, earth, movement, windstorm (including a hurricane), flood,
          tornado or other casualty, except for damage materially covered by
          policies of insurance as described in clause (xxviii) above and
          identified in Schedule I attached hereto.

 (xxxvii) To the best of the Company's knowledge, all of the improvements which 
          were included for the purposes of determining the Appraised Value of
          each Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
          restriction lines of such Property, and no improvements on adjoining
          properties encroach upon such Property, except for minor encroachments
          and protrusions which do not materially affect the Appraised Value of
          the Property.

(xxxviii) To the best of the Company's knowledge, no improvement located on or
          being part of any Property is in material violation of any applicable
          zoning law or regulation.  To the best of Originator's knowledge, all
          inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued 
          with respect to all occupied portions of each Property and, with
          respect to the use and occupancy of the same, have been made or 
          obtained from the appropriate authorities.

  (xxxix) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee,
          duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
          properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
          Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
          Company to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection 
          with a trustee's sale after default by the related Mortgagor.

     (xl) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which
          render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
          realization against the related Property of the benefits of the
          security, including (A) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed
          of trust, by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
          There is no homestead or other exemption available to the related
          Mortgagor which would materially interfere with the right to sell the
          related Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
          related Mortgage.

    (xli) To the best of the Originator's knowledge except as disclosed on the 
          Schedules of Mortgage Loans, there is no default, breach, violation or
          event of acceleration existing as of the Cut-Off Date under any
          Mortgage or the related Note and no event which, with the passage of
          time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
          would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
          acceleration; and neither the Servicer nor the Originator has waived
          any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration which would,
          but for such waiver, exist on the Cut-Off Date; except that the
          Servicer or the Originator may have heretofore waived late payments or
          granted extensions of payments (none of which extensions are
          material).

                                          18


<PAGE>


   (xlii) An appraisal, completed by independent fee appraisers, was performed 
          with respect to each Mortgage Loan and is contained in the File, and
          no appraisal was based solely on a cost approach analysis.

  (xliii) With respect to each Mortgaged Property subject to a ground lease (i) 
          the current ground lessor has been identified and all ground rents
          which previously become due and owing have been paid; (ii) the ground
          lease term extends, or is automatically renewable, for a least five
          years beyond the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan; (iii) the
          ground lease has been duly executed; (iv) the amount of the ground
          rent and any increases therein are clearly identified in the lease and
          are for predetermined amounts at predetermined times; (v) the Trust
          has the right to cure defaults on the ground lease; and (vi) the terms
          and conditions of the leasehold do not prevent the free and absolute
          marketability of the Mortgaged Property.  As of the Cut-Off Date, the
          Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans with related Mortgaged Properties
          subject to ground leases does not exceed the percentage of the
          Original Principal Balance stated in the related Conveyance Agreement.

   (xliv) As of the Cut-Off Date, no more than the percentage of the Original 
          Aggregate Loan Balance stated in the related Conveyance Agreement is
          secured by investor-owned Properties.

    (xlv) The Originator has no actual knowledge that there exist on any 
          Property, any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes,
          as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response 
          Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery
          Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental 
          legislation.  For purposes of this clause, actual knowledge of the 
          Originator means actual knowledge of an officer of the Originator 
          involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan.  Actual 
          knowledge of the Originator does not include knowledge imputable by 
          virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information 
          relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations
          thereof.

   (xlvi) To the best of the Originator's knowledge, except for payments in the 
          nature of escrow payments, including, without limitation, taxes and
          insurance payments, or payments for protection and preservation of the
          Property; including the cost of legal proceedings against the
          Property, the Servicer has not advanced funds directly or indirectly,
          for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.

(xlvii)   Any Mortgage Loan in which the related Mortgagor is subject to a
          bankruptcy proceeding filed after the Mortgage Loan was originated is
          current under the terms of the bankruptcy payment plan.

                                          19

(xlviii)  Each Mortgage Loan is a fixed rate Mortgage Loan, except for the
          number of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, if any, stated in the
          related Conveyance Agreement.

(xlix)    With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is or has been the subject of
          bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, (a) as of the Cut-Off Date, the
          Mortgagor is not contractually delinquent more than 30 days with
          respect to any payment due under the related plan, (b) the current
          Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is less than or equal to 85%, and (c)
          either (i) if the current Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 70%
          and 85% as of the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgagor has made at least six
          consecutive payments under the related Plan or (ii) if the current
          Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is less than 70% as of the Cut-Off Date,
          the Mortgagor has made at least three consecutive payments under the
          related plan.

     (l)  To the best knowledge of the Originator, the proceeds of any Mortgage
          Loan made to a Mortgagor in bankruptcy at the time of origination of
          such Mortgage Loan were applied in a manner consistent with the
          related bankruptcy plan.

     (li) The maturity date of each Mortgage Loan that is a junior lien loan is
          at least twelve months prior to the maturity date of the related first
          mortgage loan if such related first mortgage loan provides for a
          balloon payment.

    (lii) The Mortgagor has not notified the Originator of and the Originator 
          has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor
          under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940.

   (liii)(a) To the best of the Originator's knowledge, no action, error, 
          omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar 
          occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the 
          part of any person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, 
          any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party  
          involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the 
          application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan,
          that would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan,
          except in the case of a Mortgage Loan with respect to which 
          information contained in an appraisal, Mortgagor income verification
          report or other document related to the origination of the Mortgage
          Loan has been determined to be incorrect or incomplete and such 
          information has been corrected or completed as of the related 
          Cut-Off Date, and (b) the Originator has no knowledge of any 
          action that has been taken or failed to have been taken, or of 
          any event that has occurred, or state of facts that exists or 
          has existed on or prior to the related Cut-Off Date (whether or 
          not known to the Originator on or prior to such date) which 
          occurrence described in clause (a) and clause (b) of this 
          subsection (liii) has resulted or will result in an exclusion 
          from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any primary insurance 
          policy or pool policy 
          

                                          20

          certification (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials
          or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
          payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the
          insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors,
          omissions, negligence, or fraud of a seller, the Originator, the
          related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such
          coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other
          exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such
          insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not
          including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such
          insurer's breach of such insurance policy or such insurer's financial
          inability to pay.

    (liv) The Originator has no knowledge of any circumstance or condition with 
          respect to the Property, Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing
          that can reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the
          value of the Mortgage Loan.

The representations and warranties of this paragraph (b) shall survive the
transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Company.  The
representations and warranties of this paragraph (b) shall survive the transfer
and assignment of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to EquiVantage Trusts.  Upon
discovery by the Company of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties of this paragraph (b), without regard to any limitation set forth in
such representation or warranty concerning the knowledge of the Originator or
the Company as to the facts stated therein, which breach, in the opinion of the
Company, the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee, materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Company, the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer
in the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, and the Originator
shall be required to take the remedial actions required by the related
EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing Agreement within the time periods required
thereto, which in no case shall be less than 30 days.

     The Originator acknowledges that a breach of any representation or warranty
relating to (x) title sufficient to transfer indefeasible title to a Mortgage
Loan or (y) enforceability of the Mortgage Loan against the related Mortgagor or
Property constitutes breach of a representation or warranty of this Section 5
which "materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the
Certificate Insurer" in such Mortgage Loan.  For purposes of this Agreement the
representations and warranties made in this Section 5 limited to the
Originator's knowledge shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the officers
executing this Agreement.

     Section 6.     Covenants of the Originator to Take Certain Actions with
Respect to the Mortgage Loans in Certain Situations.  (a)  Upon the earliest to
occur of the Originator's discovery, its receipt of notice of breach from any
one of the other parties to the related EquiVantage Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or from the Certificate Insurer or such time as a breach of any
representation and warranty in Section 5 hereof materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer as set forth above,
the Originator hereby covenants and warrants that it shall promptly cure such
breach in all material respects or it shall, subject to the further 

                                          21


<PAGE>

requirements of this paragraph, on the second Remittance Date next succeeding
such discovery, receipt of notice or such other time (i) substitute in lieu of
each Mortgage Loan which has given rise to the requirement for action by the
Originator a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver to the Servicer for
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account the Substitution Amount applicable
thereto, together with the aggregate amount of all Delinquency Advances and
Servicing Advances theretofore made with respect to such Mortgage Loan, to the
Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase
Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account.  In connection with any such
proposed purchase or substitution, the Originator at its expense, shall cause to
be delivered to the Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel
experienced in federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a proposed
purchase or substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust
or would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a REMIC, and the Originator shall
only be required to take either such action to the extent such action would not
constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would not jeopardize the
status of the Trust as a REMIC.  Any required purchase or substitution, if
delayed by the absence of such opinion shall nonetheless occur upon the earlier
of (i) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to the
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the delivery of such opinion.  The obligation of the
Originator to cure the defect, or substitute for, or purchase any Mortgage Loan
as to which a representation or warranty is untrue in any material respect and
has not been remedied shall constitute the sole remedy against the Originator
with respect to such breach available to the Owners, the Trustee or the
Certificate Insurer.

     (b)  In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is delivered by
the Originator, the Originator shall be obligated to take the actions described
in this Section 6 with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage upon the
discovery by any of the Owners, the Company, the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer, or the Trustee that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5 hereof are untrue with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
in any material respect on the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is
conveyed to the related EquiVantage Trust such that the interests of the Owners
or the Certificate Insurer in the related Qualified Replacement Mortgage are
materially and adversely affected; provided, however, that for the purposes of
this paragraph (b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 hereof
referring to items "as of the Cut-Off Date" or "as of the Startup Day" shall be
deemed to refer to such items as of the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
is conveyed to the related EquiVantage Trust.

     (c)  The covenants set forth in this Section 6 shall survive delivery of
the respective Mortgage Loans (including Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loans)
to the Trustee.

     Section 7.     Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall terminate upon (i)
the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan required
pursuant to this Agreement or included in an EquiVantage Trust under this
Agreement or (ii) the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan.

                             FORM OF CONVEYANCE AGREEMENT


      EquiVantage Acceptance Corp. (the "Company") and EquiVantage Inc. (the
"Originator"), pursuant to the Master Loan Transfer Agreement dated as of March
1, 1997 between themselves (the "Mortgage Transfer Agreement"), hereby confirm
their understanding with respect to the sale by the Originator and the purchase
by the Company of those Mortgage Loans listed on the attached Schedule of
Mortgage Loans (the "Transferred Mortgage Loans").

     Conveyance of Transferred Mortgage Loans.  The Originator, concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Conveyance Agreement, does hereby
irrevocably transfer, sell, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Company, without recourse (except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein)
all of its right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Mortgage Loans
being conveyed by it, including specifically, without limitation, the Mortgages,
the Files and all other documents, materials and properties appurtenant thereto
and the Notes, including all interest and principal received by the Originator
on or with respect to such Transferred Mortgage Loans on or after the related
Cut-off Date, together with all of its right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds received on or after the related Cut-off Date of any related insurance
policies on behalf of the Company.  It is the intention of the parties hereto
that the conveyance by the Originator of the Transferred Mortgage Loans to the
Company shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Transferred Mortgage Loans
and not a loan.  If the Originator cannot deliver the original Mortgage or
mortgage assignment with evidence of recording thereon concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Conveyance Agreement solely because of a delay
caused by the public recording office where such original Mortgage or mortgage
assignment has been delivered for recordation, the Originator shall promptly
deliver to the Trustee on behalf of the Company such original Mortgage or
mortgage assignment with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording official, as soon as possible but in no event
later than 12 months from the Startup Day, as defined in the related EquiVantage
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     The costs relating to the delivery of the documents specified in this
Conveyance Agreement shall be borne by the Originator.

     The Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5(a) of the Master Transfer Agreement with respect to the Transferred
Mortgage Loans.  The  "Cut-Off Date" with respect to such purchased Mortgage
Loans shall be the close of business on [INSERT

          origination of such Mortgage Loan.  Each Balloon Loan has an original
