<PAGE>

                           "With respect to any REO Property, the Trustee's name
                  shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as
                  the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The
                  Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property
                  references the Agreement and the Purchaser's (or its
                  designee's) capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to
                  sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or
                  through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve
                  such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is
                  customary in the locality where such REO Property is located
                  and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the
                  interests of the Purchaser, or its designee, rent the same, or
                  any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
                  interest of the Purchaser, or its designee, for the period
                  prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall
                  prepare for and deliver to the Purchaser, or its designee, a
                  statement with respect to each REO Property that has been
                   rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all
                  expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of such
                  REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the
                  Purchaser, or its designee, to comply with the reporting
                  requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental
                  income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
                  the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on
                  each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax
                  reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J
                  of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the
                  tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
                  respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals
                  and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code
                   with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain
                  financial entities, by preparing such tax and information
                  returns as may be required, in the form required, and
                  delivering the same to the Purchaser, or its designee, for
                  filing.
                           In the event that the Purchaser, or its designee,
                  acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in
                  connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage
                  Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as
                  soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation
                  Proceeds thereof, but in no event later than three years after
                  its acquisition by the Purchaser, or its designee. In that
                  event, the Purchaser, or its designee, shall have been
                  supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
                   holding by the Purchaser, or its designee, of such Mortgaged
                  Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable,
                  will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
                  transactions" of any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the
                  Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
                  time, the Purchaser, or its designee, may continue to hold
                  such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained
                  in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration of such
                  three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                  Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Purchaser, or
                  its designee, shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be
                  rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or
                  on behalf of the Purchaser, or its designee, in such a manner
                   or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
                  Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
                  the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
                  any REMIC to the imposition of any federal, state or local
                  income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
                  under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the
                  Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
                  Purchaser, or its designee, with respect to the imposition of
                  any such taxes."

         (h) The third paragraph of Section 5.13 of the Agreement is hereby
         deleted in its entirety.

          (i) The first paragraph of Section 6.02 of the Agreement is hereby
         amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  Exhibits 6.02 (a) - (g) attached hereto (or in such other
                  formats mutually agreed upon between the Servicer and the
                  Master Servicer). Such monthly reports shall be available by
                  the Servicer for the Purchaser on Servicer's secured web site.
                  The Servicer shall provide training, secured access and
                   password(s) to the Purchaser on the operation of the website."

                  Certificate stating that (a) a review of the activities of the
                  Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of its
                  performance under this Agreement has been made under such
                  officer's supervision, and (b) to the best of such officer's
                  knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled

                  obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer
                  and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken
                  by the Servicer to cure such default."

         (k) Section 7.05 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its

                  Purchaser and the Master Servicer to the effect that such firm
                  has, with respect to the Servicer's overall servicing
                  operations, examined such operations in accordance with the
                  requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
                  Mortgage Bankers, stating such firm's conclusions relating
