CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF NOTES;

TAX TREATMENT

Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Retention of Obligation to Fund Advances Under Credit Line Agreements.

(a) In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Sponsor on the Closing Date of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and the Residual Certificates and the other amounts to be distributed from time to time to the Sponsor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Sponsor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to Sections 2.03 and 2.05), all of its right, title and interest in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan, including its Principal Balance (including any Additional Balances related thereto) and all collections in respect thereof received after the Cut-Off Date (excluding Interest Collections due on or prior to the Cut-Off Date); (ii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that is acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) the Sponsor’s rights under the hazard insurance policies; (iv) the Policy; (v) the Collection Account and the Distribution Account; and (vi) any proceeds of the foregoing and any other Trust Property and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust for the benefit of Noteholders, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer; provided, however, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Trust assumes or shall assume the obligation under any Credit Line Agreement that provides for the funding of future advances to the Mortgagor thereunder, and neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated or permitted to fund any such future advances. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, Additional Balances shall be part of the related Principal Balance and are hereby transferred to the Trust on the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.01, and therefore

part of the Trust Property. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sponsor shall cause the Insurer to deliver the Policy to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. It is the intention of the Sponsor that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and other Trust Property from the Sponsor to the Issuer and that such sale should constitute a valid transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans and other Trust Property to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Mortgage Loans and the other Trust Property shall not be part of the Sponsor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Sponsor under any bankruptcy law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Sponsor, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale, this Agreement shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the property referred to in this Section 2.01 for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer. Prior to the last day of the related Collection Period preceding the month in which the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period occurs, to the extent that the Purchase Price of any Additional Balance is greater than the cash consideration paid by the Issuer for such Additional Balance, the difference between such Purchase Price and the amount of such cash consideration shall be deemed to be a loan made to the Issuer by the Sponsor, which shall accrue interest and be payable according to the terms of the Indenture. On and after the first day of the Collection Period in which the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period occurs, to the extent that the Purchase Price of any Additional Balance is greater than the cash consideration paid by the Issuer for such Additional Balance, the difference between such Purchase Price and the amount of such cash consideration shall be deemed to be a capital contribution made to the Issuer by the Sponsor. To the extent that the Sponsor receives cash consideration for the entire Purchase Price of such Additional Balance on any future date, any corresponding capital contribution that had previously been deemed to have been made to the Issuer by the Sponsor shall be deemed to have been redeemed.

(b) Each of the Servicer and the Sponsor agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents (including, without limitation, the filing of all necessary continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statements filed in the States of California, Delaware and New York, respectively, which shall have been filed on or as of the Closing Date) describing the Cut-Off Date Principal Balances and Additional Balances and naming (i) in the case of the Cut-Off Date Principal Balances, (A) Terwin Advisors LLC as debtor and the Sponsor as secured party, (B) the Sponsor as debtor and the Issuer as secured party and (ii) in the case of Additional Balances, (A) the Servicer as debtor and the Sponsor as secured party, and (B) the Sponsor as debtor and the Issuer as secured party and any amendments to UCC-1 financing statements required to reflect a change in the name or corporate structure of the Issuer, the Servicer, Terwin Advisors LLC or the Sponsor or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing statements due to the change in the principal office of the Servicer, the Sponsor or Terwin Advisors LLC (within 10 days of any event necessitating such filing) as are necessary to perfect and protect the Noteholders’ and the Insurer’s interests in each Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and Additional Balance and the proceeds thereof (other than maintaining possession by the Indenture Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Files).

(c) In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Originator shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee the following documents or instruments (each a “Related Document” and together for each Mortgage Loan, the “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date:

(i) with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the original Credit Line Agreement;

(ii) for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, an unsigned and un-notarized but otherwise complete original Assignment of Mortgage in blank;

(iii) (A) for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or, if in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such original Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such original Mortgage has been lost, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, a true and correct copy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Originator stating that such original Mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording official or (ii) in the case of an original Mortgage that has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where such Mortgage is recorded, and (B) in the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the “Mortgage Identification Number” of such MERS Mortgage Loan;

(iv) if applicable, the original intervening assignments, if any (“Intervening Assignments”), with evidence of recording thereon, showing a complete chain of title to the Mortgage from the originator to the Originator (and endorsed in blank in accordance with clause (ii) above) or, if any such original Intervening Assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, a true and correct copy thereof, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Sponsor stating that such original Intervening Assignment has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording official for recordation or (ii) in the case of an original Intervening Assignment that has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where such Mortgage is recorded;

(v) either a title policy or guaranty title with respect to the related Mortgaged Property;

(vi) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan;

(vii) the original of each assumption, modification, consolidation or substitution agreement, if any, relating to the Mortgage Loans; and

(viii) any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage.

The Sponsor hereby confirms to the Indenture Trustee that it has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date to be clearly and unambiguously marked, and has made, or will make, the appropriate entries in its general accounting records to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust. The

Servicer hereby confirms to the Indenture Trustee that it has clearly and unambiguously made appropriate entries in its general accounting records indicating that such Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust and are serviced by it on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the characterization of the Notes as debt for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the parties hereto intend to treat the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust as provided herein as a sale, for certain non-tax purposes, of all the Sponsor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, whether now existing or hereafter created, and the other property described above and all proceeds thereof. In the event such transfer is deemed not to be a sale for such purposes, the Sponsor grants to the Trust, a security interest in all of such party’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, whether now existing or hereafter created, and the other property described above and all proceeds thereof; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(e) Within 90 days following delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to review on its behalf or the Indenture Trustee shall review each such Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in this Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and in so doing the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If within such 90-day period the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee determines that such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its review or the Custodian’s review on its behalf notify the Originator and the Insurer, and the Originator shall have a period of 90 days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect. Upon the completion of its 90-day review, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee shall also notify the Insurer of any Mortgage File with respect to which it has been delivered any items other than the original recorded Mortgage with respect to Section 2.01(c)(iii).

Neither the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Indenture Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, whether any Person executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded.

Upon its actual knowledge or receipt of written notice from the Insurer that a Recordation Event has occurred the Servicer shall take all necessary steps to prepare and submit for recordation an Assignment of Mortgage (or a blanket Assignment of Mortgage covering multiple Mortgage Loans if the same is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction).

(f) The Originator shall sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Indenture Trustee all right, title and interest of the Originator in and to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust by the Originator pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.05 hereof and all its right, title and interest to principal collected and interest accruing on such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan on and after the applicable Substitute Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that the Originator shall reserve and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of interest due on such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan prior to the applicable Substitute Cut-Off Date; provided, further, that neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to fund any future advances to the related Mortgagor under such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.

In connection with any transfer and assignment of an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Originator agrees to cause to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee the items described in Section 2.01(c) on the date of such transfer and assignment or, if a later delivery time is permitted by Section 2.01(c), then no later than such later delivery time.

(g) Each Defective Mortgage Loan that is required to be repurchased or substituted pursuant to the provisions this Agreement shall, upon such repurchase or substitution in accordance with the provisions hereof, be released from the Trust and from the lien created by the Indenture. As to each Mortgage Loan released from the Trust in connection with the repurchase thereof or the conveyance of an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan therefor, the Indenture Trustee will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse, to or upon the order of the Originator, all of its right, title and interest in and to such released Mortgage Loan and all the Trust’s right title and interest to principal collected and interest accruing on such released Mortgage Loan on and after the first day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan is released; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest collected on such released Mortgage Loan prior to such date.

Section 2.02. Further Encumbrance of Trust Property.

(a) Immediately upon the conveyance to the Trust by the Sponsor of any item of the Trust Property pursuant to Section 2.01, all right, title and interest of the Sponsor in and to such item of Trust Property shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest shall vest in the Trust, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Sections 3802 and 3805 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (12 Del. Code, § 3801 et seq.).

(b) Immediately upon the vesting of the Trust Property in the Trust, the Trust shall have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber, such Trust Property. Pursuant to the Indenture and contemporaneously with such property vesting in the Trust pursuant to (a) above, the Trust shall grant a security interest in the Trust Property to secure the repayment of the Issuer

Secured Obligations. The Residual Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Property, and the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect thereto as set forth herein and in the Indenture and Trust Agreement.

(c) Prior to the payment in full on the Notes, the payment of all amounts due to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement, the termination of the Policy (as defined therein) and the surrender of the Policy by the Indenture Trustee to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall hold the Trust Property on behalf of the Noteholders. Following the payment in full of the Notes and the payment of all amounts due to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement, and the release and discharge of the Indenture, all covenants of the Issuer under Article III of the Indenture shall, until payment in full of the Residual Certificates, remain as covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Residual Certificateholders, enforceable by the Residual Certificateholders to the same extent as such covenants were enforceable by the Insurer and the Noteholders prior to the discharge of the Indenture. Any rights of the Indenture Trustee under Article III of the Indenture, following the discharge of the Indenture, shall vest in the Residual Certificateholders.

Section 2.03. Acceptance by Indenture Trustee; Certain Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding and all sums due to (i) the Indenture Trustee or any agent or counsel thereof pursuant to the Indenture, (ii) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Property to the Issuer.

(b) The Issuer hereby acknowledges its receipt of the Policy and the Mortgage Loans, and declares that the Indenture Trustee holds and will hold such instruments, and to the extent that any documents are delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01, will hold such documents, and all amounts received by it thereunder and hereunder, in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Noteholders, and the Insurer. If the time to cure any defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan of which the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer has notified the Sponsor and the Originator following the review pursuant to Section 2.01 has expired or if at any time any loss is suffered by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders or the Insurer, in respect of any Mortgage Loan as a result of (i) a defect in any document constituting a part of its Mortgage File or (ii) an Assignment of Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee not having been recorded as required by Section 2.01, then on the next succeeding Business Day, the Originator shall (i) substitute in lieu of such Mortgage Loan Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, and deliver the Substitution Amount applicable thereto to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account. Upon receipt of any Mortgage Loan or of written notification signed by a Servicing Officer to the effect that the Loan Purchase Price in respect of a Defective Mortgage Loan has been deposited into the Collection Account, then as promptly as practicable, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer presented by the Originator, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Originator to effect such transfer by the Trust of such Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section. It is understood and agreed

that the obligation of the Originator to accept a transfer of a Defective Mortgage Loan and to either convey an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or to make a deposit of any related Loan Purchase Price into the Collection Account shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee against the Originator.

(c) As to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Originator shall, if required to deliver any such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan such documents and agreements as are required to be held by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.01. For any Collection Period during which the Originator substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall determine the Substitution Amount which amount shall be deposited by the Originator in the Collection Account at the time of substitution. All amounts received in respect of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period in which the circumstances giving rise to such substitution occur shall not be a part of the Trust and shall not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. All amounts received by the Servicer during the Collection Period in which the circumstances giving rise to such substitution occur in respect of any Defective Mortgage Loan so removed by the Trust shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator shall be deemed (i) to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.05 and (ii) to have certified that such Mortgage Loan is an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan. The procedures applied by the Originator in selecting each Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan shall not be materially adverse to the interests of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Insurer.

The Servicer, promptly following the transfer of a Defective Mortgage Loan from, or an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to, the Trust pursuant to this Section, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and make appropriate entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer. The Servicer shall, following such transfer, appropriately xxxx its records to indicate that it is no longer servicing such Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Trust. The Originator, promptly following such transfer, shall make appropriate entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer.

Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Originator and Servicer and the Sponsor.

(a) The Originator and Servicer (the “Company”) represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer that as of the Closing Date.

(i) The Company is a New York corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York, and has the corporate power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or any properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Company;

(ii) The Company has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies;

(iii) The Company is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, except for such consent, license, approval or authorization, or registration or declaration, as shall have been obtained or filed, as the case may be, prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the Company or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, Indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound;

(v) No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, against the Company or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or the Notes;

(vi) The Company is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions described herein and, after giving effect to the transactions described herein, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in the ordinary course of its business and the Company does not intend to incur, nor does the Company believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature. The Company does not contemplate the commencement of insolvency, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, Indenture Trustee or similar official in respect of the Company or any of its respective assets; and

(vii) The Company is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage Loans for as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04(a) shall survive the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust. Upon discovery of a breach of any representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Insurer, the person discovering such breach shall give written notice within five (5) days of discovery to the other parties and the Insurer.

Upon discovery by the Sponsor, the Originator, the Servicer, the Insurer, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or a Class B Certificateholder of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Originator as to the facts stated therein, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Trust or the Noteholders or the Insurer in the related Mortgage Loans, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, to the Class B Certificateholders and to the Insurer. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, the Originator shall use all reasonable efforts to cure such breach or shall, not later than the Business Day next preceding the Payment Date in the month following the Collection Period in which any such cure period expired (or such later date that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer as evidenced by their written consents), either (a) repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Loan Purchase Price or (b) substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as set forth in Section 2.03 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04; provided, however, that the cure for any breach of a representation and warranty relating to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate shall be a repurchase of or substitution for only the Mortgage Loans necessary to cause such characteristics to be in compliance with the related representation and warranty. Upon accepting such transfer and making any required deposit into the Collection Account or substitution of an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, the Originator shall be entitled to receive an instrument of assignment or transfer from the Indenture Trustee to the same extent as set forth in Section 2.03 with respect to the transfer of Mortgage Loans under that Section. The Insurer shall be notified of any substitution of an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing and deposit in the Collection Account the Loan Purchase Price or to substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, shall constitute the sole remedy against the Originator respecting such breach available to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer; provided, however, that the Originator shall defend and indemnify the Sponsor, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders against all reasonable costs and expenses, and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and the amount of any settlement entered into with the consent of the Originator (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of any third-party action arising out of any breach of any such representation and warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.05(a)(xxxi), the Originator shall pay to the Trust the Loan Purchase Price.

Section 2.06. Covenants of the Sponsor. The Sponsor hereby covenants that:

(a) Security Interests. The Sponsor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Mortgage Loans, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein; the Sponsor will notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of the existence of any Lien on any Mortgage Loans immediately upon discovery thereof; and the Sponsor will defend the Trust’s right, title and interest (including the Trust’s security interest) in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Sponsor; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.06(a) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Sponsor from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Sponsor shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

(b) UCC-1 Financing Statements. On the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans and, to the extent not already included in such filing, on the applicable Transfer Date with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor will file UCC-1 financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

(c) Negative Pledge. The Sponsor hereby agrees not to transfer, assign, exchange, pledge, finance, hypothecate, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey the Residual Certificates except in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 6.02 hereof and in accordance with the Insurance Agreement and the Trust Agreement.

(d) Downgrading. The Sponsor will not engage in any activity which would result in a downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings on the Notes without regard to the effect of the Policy.

(e) Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement. The Sponsor will not amend its Limited Liability Company Agreement without prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Insurer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Principal Place of Business. The Sponsor’s principal place of business is in California, and the Sponsor will not change its principal place of business without prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Insurer.

(g) No Notification of Mortgagors. The Sponsor hereby agrees not to notify Mortgagors of the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust unless required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law.

Section 2.07. [Reserved].

Section 2.08. Execution and Authentication of Notes. The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, has caused to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Sponsor, in exchange for the Issuer, concurrently with the sale, assignment and conveyance to the Indenture Trustee of the Issuer, one Class of Notes in authorized denominations and the Residual Certificates, evidencing the ownership of the Issuer.

Section 2.09. Tax Treatment. It is the intention of the Sponsor and the Residual Certificateholders that the Notes will be indebtedness of the Issuer for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Sponsor, the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder (or Note Owner) by acceptance of its Note (or, in the case of a Note Owner, by virtue of such Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Notes (or beneficial interest therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the assets of the Trust and to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. Each Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Agreement as to treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Servicer will prepare and file all tax reports required hereunder consistent with this Agreement except as may be required by or provided in Section 3.15.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01. The Servicer.

(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Mortgage Loans and perform the other actions under this Agreement. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with general industry practice and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through a subservicer, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable, it being understood, however, that the Servicer shall at all times remain responsible to the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amounts received by any subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been received by the Servicer whether or not actually received by it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust, 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 Mortgaged Properties and to make deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall, upon the written request of a Servicing Officer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder and consistent with the Indenture Trustee’s internal policies. The Servicer in such capacity may also consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of any Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that

(i) such Mortgage succeeded to a first lien position after the related Mortgage Loan was conveyed to the Trust and, immediately following the placement of

such senior lien, such Mortgage is in a second lien position and the outstanding principal amount of the mortgage loan secured by such subsequent senior lien is no greater than the outstanding principal amount of the senior mortgage loan secured by the Mortgaged Property as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was originated; or

(ii) the Mortgage relating to such Mortgage Loan was in a second lien position as of the Cut-Off Date and the new senior lien secures a mortgage loan that refinances an existing first mortgage loan and the outstanding principal amount of the replacement first mortgage loan immediately following such refinancing is not greater than the outstanding principal amount of such existing first mortgage loan at the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan;

provided, further, that such senior lien does not secure a note that provides for negative amortization.

The Servicer may also, without prior approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, increase the Credit Limits on Mortgage Loans provided that (i) new appraisals are obtained and the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios of the Mortgage Loans after giving effect to such increase are less than or equal to the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and (ii) such increases are consistent with the Servicer’s credit and collection policies. No material change or departure from the Servicer’s credit and collection policies with respect to any Mortgage Loans as in effect as of the Closing Date shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Insurer.

In addition, the Servicer may agree to changes in the terms of a Mortgage Loan at the request of the Mortgagor; provided that (i) such changes do not materially and adversely affect the interests of Noteholders, the Residual Certificateholders or the Insurer, (ii) such changes are consistent with prudent and customary business practice for enhancing recoveries on mortgage loans as evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and (iii) the Rating Agencies and the Insurer are promptly notified of the changes.

In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer may solicit Mortgagors to change any other terms of the related Mortgage Loans; provided that such changes (i) do not materially and adversely affect the interest of Noteholders or the Insurer, (ii) are consistent with prudent and customary business practice for enhancing recoveries on mortgage loans as evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and (iii) do not adjust the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan past the date that is six months before the Final Scheduled Payment Date of the Notes. The Servicer shall not solicit Mortgagors with respect to new loans (including mortgage loans) that are not Mortgage Loans nor convey information concerning Mortgagors to any Person for such purpose.

The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Indenture 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.

(b) In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the Servicer are terminated hereunder, any successor to the Servicer in its sole discretion may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the existing subservicer arrangements with any subservicer, without charge, or assume the terminated Servicer’s rights under such subservicing arrangements which termination or assumption will not violate the terms of such arrangements.

Section 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Remittances

(a) Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to home equity loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loans and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is consistent with prudent and customary business practice for enhancing recoveries with respect to the mortgage loans it owns or services; provided, further, that notwithstanding such arrangement such Mortgage Loans will be included in the information regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans set forth in the Servicing Certificate and monthly statement to Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.01.

(b) The Sponsor shall cause to be established, and the Servicer shall maintain, a Collection Account to be held by the Servicer in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, as their interests may appear. Each account shall be an Eligible Account. With respect to each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall invest funds in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments that shall mature not later than the related Servicer Remittance Date and such Eligible Investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain realized from any investment in Eligible Investments of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as compensation and the Servicer shall be permitted from time to time to withdraw such amounts from the Collection Account. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of the principal amount of any such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

(c) The Servicer, or the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall deposit into the Collection Account within one Business Day following receipt thereof the following payments and collections received or made by it (without duplication):

(i) all collections on and in respect of the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) the amounts, if any, deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04;

(iii) Net Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) Insurance Proceeds (including, for this purpose, any amount required to be credited by the Servicer pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.04 and excluding

the portion thereof, if any, that has been applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the normal servicing procedures of the Servicer);

(v) any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.01;

(vi) any amounts drawn under the Policy pursuant to Section 8.4(f) of the Indenture, but only to be used for the payment of the items specified in Sections 8.7(b)(iv) and (vi) of the Indenture, as applicable; and

(vii) the amounts, if any, required to be deposited therein by the Originator pursuant to Section 2.05(b) hereof;

provided, however, that with respect to each Collection Period, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain from payments in respect of interest on the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee for such Collection Period. The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts representing Foreclosure Profits, fees (including annual fees) or late charge penalties payable by Mortgagors, or amounts received by the Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application towards the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments, excess pay off amounts and similar items. The Servicer shall remit all Foreclosure Profits to the Sponsor.

(d) The Servicer shall on the Closing Date deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts representing payments on, and any collections in respect of, the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date (exclusive of payments in respect of accrued interest due on or prior to such Cut-Off Date). On each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw all funds then held in the Collection Account (other than amounts the Servicer is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.02) and deposit such funds in the Distribution Account. The Indenture Trustee shall hold such funds uninvested. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing on each Determination Date of the amount of payments and collections in the Collection Account allocable to Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the related Payment Date.

Section 3.03. Withdrawals from the Distribution Account. From time to time, withdrawals may be made from the Distribution Account by the Indenture Trustee for the following purposes:

(i) If not received by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02(c), to the Servicer as payment for its Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 3.08;

(ii) To withdraw and retain any earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the Distribution Account;

(iii) To make or to permit the Indenture Trustee to make distributions and payments pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture;

(iv) To pay to the Servicer any Liquidation Expenses not reimbursed prior to the deposit of Net Liquidation Proceeds to the Distribution Account;

(v) Prior to the last day of the Collection Period preceding month in which the commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period occurs, to pay to the Sponsor the amount of any Additional Balances related to HELOC Mortgage Loans included in the Pool as and when created during the related Collection Period; provided, that the aggregate amount so paid to the Sponsor in respect of Additional Balances with respect to the HELOC Mortgage Loans at any time during any Collection Period shall not exceed the amount of Principal Collections theretofore received for such Collection Period; and

(vi) Upon termination of the Trust, to make any payments required by Section 7.01.

If the Servicer deposits in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein or any amount in respect of payments by Mortgagors made by checks subsequently returned for insufficient funds or other reason for non payment, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer, immediately withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, and any such amounts shall not be included in the amounts to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.02(c), any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 3.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance naming the Servicer or its successors or assigns as loss payee thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from time to time or (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan from time to time. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property or (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Servicer of related Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance. All such flood insurance shall be in such amounts as are required under applicable guidelines of the Federal Flood Emergency Act. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy consistent with prudent industry standards insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans in an aggregate amount prudent under industry standards, it shall (a) conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as

set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.04 and (b) if there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account without right of reimbursement, as the case may be, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of any deductible clause.

Section 3.05. Assumption and Modification Agreements. In any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan consistent with the then current practice of the Servicer and without regard to the inclusion of such Mortgage Loan in the Trust. If it elects not to enforce its right to accelerate or if it is prevented from doing so by applicable law, the Servicer (so long as such action conforms with the underwriting standards generally acceptable in the industry at the time for new origination) is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Credit Line Agreement and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been completed by delivering to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer certifying that such agreement is in compliance with this Section 3.05 and by forwarding to the Indenture Trustee the original copy of such assumption and modification agreement. Any such assumption and modification agreement shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the related Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. No change in the terms of the related Credit Line Agreement may be made by the Servicer in connection with any such assumption to the extent that such change would not be permitted to be made in respect of the original Credit Line Agreement pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 3.01(a). Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into any such agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.06. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default when, in the opinion of the Servicer based upon the practices and procedures referred to in the following sentence, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02; provided, that if the Servicer has knowledge or reasonably believes that any Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or substances and that the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property would not be commercially reasonable, then the Servicer will not cause the Trust to acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices (including, in the case of any default on a related senior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation Expenses or otherwise expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the correction of any default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any property unless it shall determine that such expenditure will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of the Trust.

(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the option to transfer the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to a special servicer; provided that any such special servicer shall be acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the appointment of any such special servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies without regard to the Policy as evidenced in writing by a letter from each Rating Agency. Upon the transfer of servicing to the special servicer, the special servicer shall thereupon assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The special servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation accruing after the servicing transfers to the special servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

Section 3.07. Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. On or before each Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee of the payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loan during the preceding Collection Period, which notification shall be by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02 have been so deposited or credited) of a Servicing Officer. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.01, if the assignments of Mortgage have been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Indenture Trustee is holding the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or in connection with the payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable, signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture Trustee.

In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the Assignment of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by the Servicer, execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer to assign

such Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Servicer or to the related subservicer (any such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only), and, upon such assignment, the Servicer will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive of Foreclosure Profits, received with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured, then the Servicer shall, within two Business Days, reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and return the related Mortgage File to the place where it was being maintained. After such reassignment, the Servicer, if requested by such Residual Certificateholders and if offered suitable indemnification and reimbursement for expenses, is authorized to seek a deficiency judgment if permitted by law against the Mortgagor under such Liquidated Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Residual Certificateholders to the extent of any losses on liquidation of any Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.08. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 3.03 as compensation for its services in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, additional servicing compensation in the form of income and gain from any investment of funds in the Collection Account, late payment charges or other receipts not required to be deposited in the Collection Account (other than Foreclosure Profits) shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Noteholders and the Residual Certificateholders) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein. Liquidation Expenses are reimbursable to the Servicer solely from related Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Residual Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies, on or before January 31 of each year, beginning January 31, 2005, an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal year (or such shorter period as is applicable in the case of the first report) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its material obligations under this Agreement throughout such fiscal year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Residual Certificateholders and each of the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice by means of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Servicing Termination.

Section 3.10. Annual Servicing Report. On or before January 31 of each year, beginning January 31, 2005, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of nationally

recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish a report to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Residual Certificateholders and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans during the most recent fiscal year then ended under pooling and servicing agreements (substantially similar to this Agreement, including this Agreement), that such examination was conducted substantially in compliance with the audit guide for audits of non-supervised mortgagees approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for use by independent public accountants (to the extent that the procedures in such audit guide are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in such agreements) and that such examination has disclosed no items of noncompliance with the provisions of this Agreement which, in the opinion of such firm, are material, except for such items of noncompliance as shall be set forth in such report.

Section 3.11. Annual Opinion of Counsel. On or before January 31 of each year, beginning January 31, 2005, the Sponsor, at its expense, shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer the applicable Opinion of Counsel specified in Exhibit B hereto.

Section 3.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, any Noteholders that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, successor to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift Supervision access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator of the SAIF or the BIF), such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.12 shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.12 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12.

(b) The Servicer shall supply information in such form as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent, on or before the start of the Determination Date preceding the related Payment Date, as is required in the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable judgment to enable the Note Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, to make required distributions and to furnish the required reports to the Noteholders and the Class B Certificateholders and to make any claim under the Policy.

(c) The Servicer shall provide to the Class B Certificateholders access to all documentation relating to the Mortgage Loans within the Servicer’s possession upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer.

Section 3.13. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all

officers, employees, or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.13 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation in the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Seller/Servicer’s Guide.

All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance under Section 6.01(i) for a period of one Business Day or under Section 6.01(ii) for a period of thirty (30) days, shall

not constitute an Event of Servicing Termination if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Insurer and the Noteholders and Residual Certificateholders with an Officer’s Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing of any Events of Servicing Termination.

Section 6.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.01 or resigns pursuant to Section 5.04, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and shall use the same degree of care and skill as is required of the Servicer under this Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, if the Indenture Trustee becomes the Servicer hereunder, it shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) of repurchase or substitution with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (ii) with respect to any representation or warranty of the Servicer, and (iii) for any act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. In addition, the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to compensation with respect to its expenses in connection with conversion of certain information, documents and record keeping, as provided in Sections 6.7 and 6.8 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer, or (ii) if the Insurer is unwilling to have the Indenture Trustee act as successor Servicer or (iii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied (in the situation described in clauses (i) or (ii)) or shall (in the situation described in clause (iii)) appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer with all licenses and permits required to perform its obligations under this Agreement and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 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; provided that any such successor Servicer shall be acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies without regard to the Policy. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would

otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.08 (or such other compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Noteholders, Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.13. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer (including, without limitation, any deductible under an Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 3.04), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein.

Section 6.03. Notification to Noteholders and Residual Certificateholders. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicing Termination or Rapid Amortization Event in which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual notice (or any event that with the lapse of time would become an Event of Servicing Termination or Rapid Amortization Event unless cured), the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee in writing. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VI or Section 5.04, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, Residual Certificateholders (at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and in the Residual Certificate Register), the Insurer and each Rating Agency.

ARTICLE VII

of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (iv) the Payment Date in July 2029; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the date of death of the last surviving descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. Upon termination in accordance with clause (a)(B)(i) of this Section 7.01, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer presented by the Optional Redemption Holder, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, and take such other actions as the Optional Redemption Holder may reasonably request to effect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Optional Redemption Holder.

(b) Subject to Section 7.01(d), the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates shall have the right to redeem the Class A Notes on any Payment Date occurring on or after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Original Pool Balance. If the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates does not exercise such optional redemption, then the holder of the majority interest in the Class G Certificates shall have the right to redeem the Class A Notes on any Payment Date occurring on or after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to two percent (2%) of the Original Pool Balance. If the Optional Redemption Holder elects to exercise its right it will notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer no later than thirty-five (35) days prior to the Payment Date on which the transfer is to take place. The Indenture Trustee will make the transfer on such Payment Date subject to Section 7.01(d) and provided that the Redemption Price for the Notes has been deposited with it not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date.

(c) The Optional Redemption Holder, at its expense, shall prepare and deliver to the Indenture Trustee for execution, at the time the related Mortgage Loans are to be released to the Optional Redemption Holder, appropriate documents assigning each such Mortgage Loan from the Indenture Trustee to the Optional Redemption Holder and shall promptly record such assignments.

(d) The Optional Redemption Holder shall not exercise its right under Section 7.01(b) hereof if (a) such optional redemption would result in a draw on the Policy, without the consent of the Insurer, and (b) any Reimbursement Amount due to the Insurer would not be fully satisfied pursuant to the optional redemption.

Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the party hereto requesting any such amendment shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment made with the consent of the Noteholders or the Residual Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Noteholder and Residual Certificateholder and fully executed original counterparts of the instruments effecting such amendment to the Insurer.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Residual Certificateholders under this Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

E-2

(f) The Servicer shall not, except without the advance written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Sponsor until at least one year and one day have passed since the Termination Date.

E-3

(g) If, at any time, any of the payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored or returned by the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders or the Insurer (whether in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.

(h) The Indenture Trustee (on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer) may, from time to time, with the consent of the Insurer without notice to the Servicer, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Liabilities; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any related document; and (v) release its security interest in or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Liabilities, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.

(i) The Servicer hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Noteholders and the Insurer, (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Liabilities; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Liabilities, or any thereof, or any security therefor.

(j) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Sponsor to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Liabilities; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

8. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Servicer in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Sponsor and the Servicer, and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall have been received by the appropriate Persons. The rights and remedies granted hereunder to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders are subject to exercise as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

9. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Sponsor shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder, and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received without violation of applicable federal or state law.

E-4

10. Acknowledgment. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights to payment under this Note, and will not make any claim for payment hereunder, unless funds are available for payment by the Sponsor in excess of amounts due and payable by it at the time under the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
