following:
(b)___No transfer of a Class A-PO, Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate
shall be made unless the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable State securities laws are complied with, or
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and
laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption

within three years after the later of (i) the date of the initial sale of
Certificates or (ii) the last date on which the Seller or any affiliate thereof
was a Holder of the Certificates proposed to be transferred, require a Class
A-PO, Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificateholder to deliver a written
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator and the Seller, to the effect that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis

such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any Paying Agent
acting on behalf of the Trustee 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. Neither the Seller nor the Trust Administrator is under an
obligation to register the Class A-PO, Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6
Certificates under said Act or any other securities law.
(c) No transfer of a Class A-PO or Class B Certificate shall be made (other than
a transfer of the Class A-PO or Class B Certificates between the Seller and an
affiliate of the Seller) unless the Trust Administrator and the Seller shall
have received (i) a representation letter from the transferee in the form of
Exhibit J hereto, in the case of a Class A-PO, Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6
Certificate, or in the form of Exhibit K hereto, in the case of a Class B-1,

defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, subject to any federal, state or local law
("Similar Law") which is to a material extent similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan") and is not a person
acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Master Servicer or (b) with respect to the Class B Certificates
only, if such transferee is an insurance company, (A) the source of funds used
to purchase the Class B Certificate is an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)), (B) there is
no Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and
liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other
Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in
Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization exceeds 10%
of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such
amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTE 95-60) at the date of
acquisition and (C) the purchase and holding of such Class B Certificates are
covered by Sections I and III of PTE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any such Class
A-PO or Class B Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or
a trustee of any such Plan, (A) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Seller to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
Class A-PO or Class B Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust
Estate being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code or Similar Law and will not subject
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Master Servicer and (B) such other opinions of counsel, officer's
certificates and agreements as the Seller or the Master Servicer may require in
connection with such transfer, which opinions of counsel, officers' certificates
and agreements shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee,
the Seller or the Master Servicer. The Class A-PO and Class B Certificates shall

which may include loans secured by shares issued by cooperative housing
corporations (the "Mortgage Loans") formed by Norwest Asset Securities
Corporation (hereinafter called the "Seller", which term includes any successor
entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Estate was created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 29, 1999
(the "Agreement") among the Seller, Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), First Union National
Bank, as trust administrator (the "Trust Administrator") and the United States
Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of
the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereinafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of
the month preceding the month of such distribution, in an amount equal to the
product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and, subject to
the prior rights of the Class A Certificates and each Class of Class B
Certificates bearing a lower numerical designation as specified in the
Agreement, any Class B-6 Distribution Amount required to be distributed to
Holders of the Class B-6 Certificates on such Distribution Date, subject to
adjustment, in certain events, as specified in the Agreement. The pass-through
rate on the Class B-6 Certificates applicable to each Distribution Date will be
6.500% per annum. The amount of interest which accrues on this Certificate in
any month will be subject to reduction with respect to any Non-Supported
Interest Shortfall and the interest portion of certain Realized Losses allocated
to the Class B-6 Certificates, as described in the Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made on behalf of the
Trustee either by the Master Servicer or by a Paying Agent appointed by the
Master Servicer by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto,
as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, unless such
Person is entitled to receive payments by wire transfer in immediately available
funds in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such Person has
notified the Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that such payments are to be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution in reduction of the
Principal Balance of this Certificate will be made after due notice of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency specified by the Trust Administrator for
that purpose in the notice of final distribution.
No transfer of a Class B-6 Certificate will 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 that such a transfer is desired
to be made by the Holder hereof, (i) the transferee will be required to execute
an investment letter in the form described in the Agreement and (ii) if such
transfer is to be made within three years from the later of (a) the date of
initial issuance of the Certificates or (b) the last date on which the Seller or
any affiliate thereof was a Holder of the Certificates proposed to be
transferred, and unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust Administrator or the Seller may
require the Holder to deliver an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Seller that such
transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor)
from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state.
The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, and any Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Trustee 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. In connection with any such
transfer, the Trust Administrator will also require (i) a representation letter,
in the form as described in the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not a
Plan and is not acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan to
effect such purchase or (ii) if such transferee is a Plan, (a) an opinion of
counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Seller with respect to certain matters and (b) such other
documentation as the Seller or the Master Servicer may require, as described in
the Agreement.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate is issued on September 29, 1999, and based on its
issue price of 18.50556%, including accrued interest, and a stated redemption
price at maturity equal to its initial principal balance (plus 4 days of
interest at the pass-through rate hereon), is issued with original issue
discount ("OID") for federal income tax purposes. Assuming that this Certificate
pays in accordance with projected cash flows reflecting the prepayment
assumption of 300% SPA (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement dated September
22, 1999 with respect to the offering of the Class A Certificates (except the
Class A-PO Certificates)) used to price this Certificate: (i) the amount of OID
as a percentage of the initial principal balance of this Certificate is
approximately 81.56666667%; (ii) the annual yield to maturity of this
Certificate, compounded monthly, is approximately 44.16%; and (iii) the amount
of OID allocable to the short first accrual period (September 29, 1999 to
October 25, 1999) as a percentage of the initial principal balance of this
Certificate, calculated using the exact method, is approximately 0.11932167%.
This Certificate constitutes a "regular interest" in a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as those terms are defined in Section 860G(a)(1)
and Section 860D, respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized
officer of the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Certificate to be duly executed as of the date set forth below.

The Purchaser understands that the Class [A-PO][B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or any state
securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Class

state law or unless an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser
further understands that neither the Seller, the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator is under any obligation to register the Class
[A-PO][B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates or make an exemption available. In the event
that such a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act or
applicable state securities laws, (i) the Trust Administrator shall require, in
order to assure compliance with such laws, that the Certificateholder's
prospective transferee certify to the Seller and the Trust Administrator as to
the factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption relied upon,
and (ii) unless the transferee is a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A of the Act, the Trust Administrator or the Seller may, if

of the Certificates proposed to be transferred, require an Opinion of Counsel
that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act and state
securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Seller. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Paying Agent acting
on behalf of the Trust Administrator and the Seller 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.
(h) No transfer of a Class [A-PO][B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificate shall be made
unless the transferee provides the Seller and the Trust Administrator with a
Transferee's Letter, substantially in the form of this Agreement. (i) The
Purchaser acknowledges that its Class [A-PO][B-4][B-5][B-6] Certificates bear a
