                                WITNESSETH THAT

            In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:


                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

            The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby
conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax
purposes, the Trust Fund will consist of three real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, the "Lower Tier REMIC," the
"Middle Tier REMIC" and the "Master REMIC," respectively). Each Certificate,
other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more
regular interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Class A-R Certificate will represent ownership of the sole class of
residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC, the Middle Tier REMIC and the
Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Middle Tier REMIC Interests (other than the Class MTR-A-R
Interest). The Middle Tier REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Interests (other than the Class LTR-A-R
Interest). The Lower Tier REMIC will hold as assets all property of the Trust
Fund. Each Middle Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class MTR-A-R Interest)
is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle Tier REMIC and each
Lower Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class LTR-A-R Interest) is hereby
designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC . The latest possible
maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created herein shall be the
Latest Possible Maturity Date.

            The Corridor Contracts, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund will not form part of any REMIC.

Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples
in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one

Certificate may be issued in a different amount):

      principal balances of the Class A and Class B Lower Tier REMIC Interests
      corresponding to that Loan Group. Hereafter, the Class A, Class B and
      Class C Lower Tier REMIC Interests are referred to as "Tracking
      Interests."

(2)    This Class of Lower Tier REMIC Interest does not pay any interest.

(3)    This Class of Lower Tier REMIC Interest does not pay any principal.

(4)    This Class of Lower Tier REMIC Interest is entitled to receive on each
      Distribution Date a specified portion of the interest payable on the
      Non-Discount Mortgage Loans in the corresponding Loan Group.
      Specifically, for each related Distribution Date, this Class of Lower
      Tier REMIC Interest is entitled to interest accruals on each
      Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in excess of an Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of
      6.00% per annum.

(5)    This Class of Lower Tier REMIC Interest is entitled to receive on each
      Distribution Date a specified portion of the interest payable on the
      Non-Discount Mortgage Loans in the corresponding Loan Group.
      Specifically, for each related Distribution Date, this Class of Lower
      Tier REMIC Interest is entitled to interest accruals on each
      Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in excess of an Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of
      6.50% per annum.

(6)    The Class LTR-A-R Lower Tier REMIC Interest is the sole class of
      residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. It does not pay any
      interest or principal.

            On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be
distributed with respect to the the Lower Tier REMIC Interests in the
following manner:

(1)    Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Lower
      Tier REMIC Interest at the rates, or according to the formulas,
      described above.


                                       5
<PAGE>


(2)    Initial Allocations of Realized Losses and Principal.

      (a)    The Trustee shall first allocate the Realized Losses on the Group
            1 Mortgage Loans (including any reductions in previously allocated
            Realized Losses on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans attributable to any
            related Subsequent Recoveries), and distribute the principal on
            the Group 1 Mortgage Loans between the LTR-PO-1 Interests and the
            LTR-1 Tracking Interests in the same manner that such amounts are
            allocated to or distributed between (a) the Class PO-1
            Certificates and (b) the remaining Group 1 Certificates and the
            Assumed Balance of the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of
            Subordinated Certificates related to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans.

      (b)    The Trustee shall first allocate the Realized Losses on the Group
            2 Mortgage Loans (including any reductions in previously allocated
            Realized Losses on the Group 2 Mortgage Loans attributable to any
            related Subsequent Recoveries), and distribute the principal on
            the Group 2 Mortgage Loans to the LTR-2 Tracking Interests.

(3)    Subsequent Allocations. Amounts allocated to the Tracking Interests of
      each Group in accordance with Paragraph 2, above, shall be further
      allocated as described below.

(4)    Principal, if no Cross-Over Situation Exists. If no Cross-Over Situation
      exists with respect to any Class of Tracking Interests, Principal
      Amounts allocated with respect to each Loan Group's Tracking Interests
      in accordance with Paragraph 2, shall be further allocated: first to
      cause the Loan Group's corresponding Class A and Class B Tracking
      Interests to equal, respectively, 0.90% of the Subordinated Portion and
      0.10% of the Subordinated Portion; and second to the Loan Group's
      corresponding Class C Tracking Interest;

(5)    Principal, if a Cross-Over Situation Exists. If a Cross-Over Situation
      exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests:

      (a)    If the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
            Class B Tracking Interests is less than the Subordinate
             Pass-Through Rate, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
            proportionately to the outstanding Class A Tracking Interests
            prior to any other principal distributions from each such Loan
            Group.

      (b)    If the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
            Class B Tracking Interests is greater than the Subordinate
            Pass-Through Rate, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
            proportionately to the outstanding Class B Tracking Interests
            prior to any other principal distributions from each such Loan
            Group.

      In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Tracking Interests to equal the Subordinate Pass-Through Rate. With respect to
each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal
payments received during the Due Period (as adjusted for amounts allocated to
the Class PO-1 Certificates in the case of Loan Group 1) and (b) the Realized
Losses (as adjusted for amounts allocated to the Class PO-1 Certificates in
the case of Loan Group 1), are insufficient to make the necessary reductions
of principal on the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests, then interest will
be added to the Loan Group's Class C Tracking Interest.


                                      6
<PAGE>


      (c)    Unless required to achieve the Calculation Rate, the outstanding
            aggregate Class A and Class B Tracking Interests for all Loan
            Groups will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i)
            the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all Loan Groups
            (as adjusted for amounts allocated to the Class PO-1 Certificates
            in the case of Loan Group 1) as of the end of any Due Period
            (reduced by principal prepayments received after the Due Period
            that are to to be distributed on the Disribution Date related to
            the Due Period) over (ii) the aggregate Class Certificate Balance
            of the Senior Certificates for all Loan Groups as of the related
            Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of
            principal on such Distribution Date).

      If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the
distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests of a
Loan Group, and if the Loan Group's Class C Tracking Interest has already been
reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Loan Group (as adjusted
for amounts allocated to the Class PO-1 Certificates in the case of Loan Group
1) will be paid to the Class C Tracking Interests of the other Loan Groups the
aggregate Class A and Class B Tracking Interests of which are less than one
percent of the Subordinated Portion. If the Loan Group corresponding to the
Class C Tracking Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate below the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate of the Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by
the Lower Tier REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Loan Group
corresponding to the Class C Tracking Interest that receives such payment has
a weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Loan Group making the payment, then the
payment will be treated by the Lower Tier REMIC as a reimbursement for prior
Realized Losses.

payment by the Depositor of the purchase price, previously agreed to by the
Sellers and Depositor, for the Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan that does not have a first payment date on or before the Due Date in the
month of the first Distribution Date, Countrywide shall deposit into the
Distribution Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date
relating to the first applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to one

      (b) Immediately upon the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans referred to in
clause (a), the Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the

cause to be delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days following the
Closing Date) for the benefit of the Certificateholders the following
documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:

            (i) (A) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile
      signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of

      Note); or



                                      II-1
<PAGE>

            (B) with respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit
      from Countrywide stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or

      (ii) except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage,
with recording information, certified by Countrywide as being a true and
complete copy of the Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage for which the
related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a
true copy of the Mortgage certified as such by the applicable notary) and in
the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, or a copy of such
mortgage, with recording information, noting the presence of the MIN of the
Mortgage Loans and either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM
Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS,
with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage
certified by the public recording office in which such Mortgage has been
recorded;

      (iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage, or a copy of such
assignment, with recording information, (which may be included in a blanket
assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided below, all
interim recorded assignments of such mortgage or a copy of such assignment,
with recording information, (each such assignment, when duly and validly
completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of
and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the
assignment relates); provided that, if the related Mortgage has not been
returned from the applicable public recording office, such assignment of the
Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided by the recording office;
provided, further, that such assignment of Mortgage need not be delivered in
the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;

      (iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written
assurance or substitution agreement, if any;

      (v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate original

      (vi) in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following
documents or instruments:

            (A) The Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;

            (B) The executed Security Agreement;

            (C) The executed Proprietary Lease;

            (D) The executed Recognition Agreement;

       Lease; and

            (F) The executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate
      UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a complete
      and unbroken line



                                     II-2
<PAGE>

      from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or
      in a form suitable for recordation).

      In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage
Loan, each Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee's expense, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the
Depositor have been assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with
this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or
deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance
with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the
MERS(R) System to identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection
with such Mortgage Loans. Each Seller further agrees that it will not, and
will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it
will not, alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to
any Mortgage Loan sold by such Seller to the Depositor during the term of this
Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

      In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded
Mortgage, or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording information, (b) all
interim recorded assignments, or a copy of such assignments, with recording
information or (c) the lender's title policy or a copy of the lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such document or documents have not
been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of
clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered
to either the Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer
in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the
Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or
a copy of such Mortgage, with recording information, or such interim
assignment or a copy of such assignment, with recording information, as the
case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof
from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such
delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made
later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (v)
above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, however,
in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and
each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents
have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of
each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been
returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such
documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in
any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall
forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (a) from time to time
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a
Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event that the
original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full
of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the
presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent
document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the
instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute
and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the
public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains
the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, Countrywide shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to
be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

      As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment,
and in any event, within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after such transfer
and assignment, the Trustee shall (A) as the


                                     II-3
<PAGE>

assignee thereof, affix the following language to each assignment of
Mortgage: "CWALT Series 2006-40T1, The Bank of New York, as trustee", (B)
cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate
public office for real property records and (C) cause to be delivered for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the
assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, (i) with respect to
any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the
information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the
Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (ii) the Trustee need not
cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in any
jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which the recordation
of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and the
Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan as evidenced by an
opinion of counsel delivered by Countrywide to the Trustee within 90 days of
the Closing Date (which opinion may be in the form of a "survey" opinion and
is not required to be delivered by counsel admitted to practice law in the
jurisdiction as to which such legal opinion applies).

      In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment
that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05 hereof.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (i) deliver
to the Depositor, or at the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other
designee of the Depositor the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this
Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) either (A)
substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or
(B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or
repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a
Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.03); provided, however,
that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period provided in the prior
sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect a
substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and
provided further that the cure period provided for in Section 2.02 or in
Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for
such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall have five
(5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty
(30) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the
Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty (30) day period in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

      (d) Neither the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any
Mortgage Loan that would violate the representations made by Countrywide set
forth in clause (46) of Schedule III-A hereto.

      SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

      (a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the
Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and declares
that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such
other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the
State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

      The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on
their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.

      On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its
own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Delay
Delivery Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

      Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification
with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-1,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such
review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File
which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list
such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that the
Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is
sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or
(ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the
assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which
the assignment relates. Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall promptly correct or cure such
defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if
Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such period,
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written
notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any
such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant
to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in
the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit
and


                                     II-5
<PAGE>

certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall
execute and deliver at Countrywide's (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or its designee, the Trustee's interest
in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases an Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver
an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee and shall cause such Mortgage to be
removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules
and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

      (b) [Reserved].

      (c) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.

      (d) It is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each
Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the
Depositor by it which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against that Seller.

      (e) [Reserved].

      (f) [Reserved].

      SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Sellers
and Master Servicer.

      (a) Countrywide hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in (i) Schedule II-A, Schedule II-B, Schedule II-C and Schedule II-D
hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, (ii) Schedule III-A
hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified
therein, as of the Cut-off Date with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, and
(iii) Schedule III-B hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if
so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that are Countrywide Mortgage Loans. Park Granada hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in (i) Schedule II-B hereto, and by
this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee, as of the Closing Date and (ii) Schedule III-C hereto, and by
this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the
Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are Park Granada Mortgage
Loans. Park Monaco hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
in (i) Schedule II-C hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date and
(ii) Schedule III-


                                      II-6
<PAGE>

D hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified
therein, as of the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are
Park Monaco Mortgage Loans. Park Sienna hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in (i) Schedule II-D hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as
of the Closing Date and (ii) Schedule III-E hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as
of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that are Park Sienna Mortgage Loans.

      (b) The Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in Schedule IV hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to
the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.

      (c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. Each Seller hereby
covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt
of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty
with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
that Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to
the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
"Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth
below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery
to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N
and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller
repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall promptly
reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the
remedies for such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties
described in this Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge,
if it is discovered by either the Depositor, a Seller or the Trustee that the
substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding that
Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.

      With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, sold to the
Depositor by a Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made
in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter that
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted


                                     II-7
<PAGE>

Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to
the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the
related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations
and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of
the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall
release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller and shall execute
and deliver at such Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest title in that Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's
interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section
2.03.

      For any month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all Substitute Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller as of the
date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
all Deleted Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after application of
the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment
Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or replaced hereunder.

      In the event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which that Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and
upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
their behalf.

      The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.

      SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.

      The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect
to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth
herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to it by each Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans
and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.



                                     II-8
<PAGE>

      The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all
of its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, the representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(ii) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to
require each Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute
for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.

      It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.

      SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.

      (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup
Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively,
or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding.

      (b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or
the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering
such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of
discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), at its option, to either
(i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to
substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of
such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall
reconvey to Countrywide the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in
Section 2.03.

      SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

      The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates
may be adequately and effectively protected.

      SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.

      The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the


                                     II-9
<PAGE>

REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The "tax matters person" with
respect to each REMIC hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall
hold the Tax Matters Person Certificate. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the
calendar year.

       SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer.

      The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:

      (a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and

      (b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any
affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such information,
certificate, statement or report not misleading.

                                 ARTICLE III

                         ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                               OF MORTGAGE LOANS

      SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

      For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms
hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this
Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation
Proceeds (which, for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent
Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or
prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it
protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any
claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make
or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
or any of them, 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 held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents
requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to
execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such
documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further
is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be,
believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on
the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or
re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the
Trustee and its successors and assigns.

      In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further
as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if
any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of


                                    III-1
<PAGE>

calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

      SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.

      (a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however,
that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or
to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include
actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Master Servicer.

      (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.

      SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Master Servicer.

      The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of
the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor
the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor
be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.

      SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.

      In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default or
termination by the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses
of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to
make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii)
obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans
hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for
expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have
made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any
such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02


                                    III-2
<PAGE>

hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default or termination by the
Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement.

      The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

      SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account;
Distribution Account; the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Corridor
Contract Reserve Fund and the ES Grantor Trust.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or any Prepayment Charge or penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due
dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity
of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on
the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any
such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required
is prohibited by applicable law.

      (b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term
credit rating of Countrywide is reduced below "A-" by S&P or Fitch, or "A3" by
Moody's, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts
required to be deposited hereunder:

            (i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
      including Principal Prepayments;

            (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
      net of the Master Servicing Fee, Prepayment Interest Excess and any
      lender-paid mortgage insurance premiums;

            (iii) [Reserved];



                                    III-3
<PAGE>

            (iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation
       Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair
      of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
      with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures;

            (v) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
      the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses
      on Permitted Investments for which it is responsible;

            (vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
       pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income
      from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

            (vii) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;

            (viii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
      4.01; and

            (ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

      In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan
equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from
the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Master Servicing Fee.

      The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Prepayment Charges,
late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by
the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice
thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate
Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.

      (c) [Reserved].

      (d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:

            (i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
      Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);

            (ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
      pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted
      Investments for which it is responsible; and




                                    III-4
<PAGE>

            (iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to
      be deposited in the Distribution Account.

      In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw
such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution
Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

      (e) Each institution at which the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed
in writing by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature
not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the second Business
Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that
if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later
than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date)
and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next
preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is
an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date)
and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All
such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses
realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account, or the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as
provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account
or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any
such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution
Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be
liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or
lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.

      (f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account
or the ES Grantor Trust prior to any change thereof. The Supplemental Interest
Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund prior to any change thereof.

      (g) On the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust
(the "Supplemental Interest Trust"), the assets of which shall consist of the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trustee's rights
and obligations under the Corridor Contracts The Supplemental Interest Trust
shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest Trustee, who initially, shall
be the Trustee.

      On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall establish
and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Covered Certificates, the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, and shall deposit
$1,000 therein upon receipt from or on behalf of the Depositor of such amount.
All funds on deposit in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund shall be held
separate and apart from, and


                                    III-5
<PAGE>

shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation,
other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

      On each Distribution Date, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall
deposit into the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund all amounts received in
respect of the Corridor Contracts for the related Interest Accrual Period. The
Supplemental Interest Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Corridor
Contract Reserve Fund to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.09
exclusively (other than as expressly provided for in Section 3.08).

      Funds in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund shall remain univested.

      (h) At the request of the Holder of the Classes of Depositable
Certificates, and upon the surrender of such Depositable Certificates, (i)
there will be established a separate trust (the "ES Grantor Trust"), which
shall be a Grantor Trust for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the Trustee
shall issue the Exchangeable Certificates, as set forth in Schedule VII. The
ES Grantor Trust shall be maintained by the Trustee in its name, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Depositable Certificates. Any and all funds on
deposit in the ES Grantor Trust shall be held by the Trustee separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys or properties,
including without limitation, other moneys or properties held by the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, at the request of the Holder of the
Class of Exchangeable Certificates, and upon the surrender of such
Exchangeable Certificates, the Trustee shall exchange such Exchangeable
Certificates for the deposited Depositable Certificates, as set forth in
Schedule VII.

       SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.

      (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the
Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.

      (b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and
insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest,
if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

      (c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in
Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when
the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but
the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that
such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.

      SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.

      The Master Servicer shall afford each Seller, the Depositor and the
Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but
only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Master Servicer.

      Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings
and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply
with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with
respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or
Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
providing such reports and access.

      SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account, the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund and the ES Grantor
Trust.

      (a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes:

      as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
      with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;

            (ii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for

      late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
      pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Master
      Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;

            (vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan

                                    III-7

      The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the

Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

      (b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for
distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that
it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 8.11).
In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account for the following purposes:

            (i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
      Date;

            (ii) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
      compensation earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in
      the Distribution Account;

            (iii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount

      therein;

            (iv) to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances made
      by it pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such right of reimbursement

      3.08(a)(iii) hereof; and

            (vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
      termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

      (c) The Supplemental Interest Trustee shall withdraw funds from the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund for distribution to the Covered Certificates in
the manner specified in Section 4.09



                                    III-8
<PAGE>

(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn the amount of any taxes that it
is authorized to retain pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 8.11). In
addition, the Supplemental Interest Trustee may from time to time make
withdrawals from the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund for the following
purposes:

            (i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Corridor Contract
      Reserve Fund and not required to be deposited therein; and

            (ii) to clear and terminate the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund
      upon the earlier of (i) the reduction of the aggregate Class Certificate
      Balance of the Covered Certificates to zero, and (ii) the latest
      Corridor Contract Scheduled Termination Date.

      (d) On each Distribution Date starting with the Distribution Date
occurring in the first month after the month in which the ES Grantor Trust is
established as described in Section 3.05(h), the Trustee, as trustee of the ES
Grantor Trust, shall withdrawal from the ES Grantor Trust the amount on
deposit therein from distributions to the deposited Depositable Certificates
for such Distribution Date and distribute such amount to the Holders of the
Class of Exchangeable Certificates. All distributions to the Exchangeable
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the priorities of distribution
for such deposited Depositable Certificates set forth in Section 4.02.

      SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the
proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard
insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a
standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee
for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the
related Mortgagor or out of the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.08 hereof. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of
a Mortgage 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 Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such
area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master
Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such
Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

      (b) The Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which,
but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to


                                    III-9
<PAGE>

renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the
initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or
non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

      Except with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or
equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage
Note or prohibited by law.

      The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums
on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related proceeds of
liquidation and Subsequent Recoveries.

      (c) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.

      SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

      (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any
due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the
extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage
Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or
is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee
under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that
the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely
affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master
Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable
state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage
Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer
enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The
Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior
approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.



                                    III-10
<PAGE>

      (b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which
a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out
the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material
term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of
the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation.

      SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.

      (a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon
or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of
the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required
Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards
the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such
restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan and Subsequent Recoveries (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it
in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as
provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a
1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will,
prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take
action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.



                                    III-11
<PAGE>

      With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. 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 Master Servicer shall ensure that the
title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by the Master 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 Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof,
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Master 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 Trustee for filing.

      In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master 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
Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund 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
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, the Trust Fund 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 Trust Fund shall be
rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund 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 hereunder 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 Master Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.

      In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to
the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds
of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Mortgage Loan.



                                    III-12
<PAGE>

      The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and
net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances,
shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. To
the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of
the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the
related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month,
such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the
related Mortgage Loan.

      The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master
Servicer or the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the
Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued
and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or
any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the
month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the
liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master
Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14.

      The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is
151 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before
the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan
became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month");
provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan which becomes current but
thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the
Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be
released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage
Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be
an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage
Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents,
free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with
respect thereto.

      (b) Countrywide may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the
"Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing
and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is approximately a
prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans having similar
terms and (iii) Countrywide purchases the Modified Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately after the modification,
and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which the modification occurs,
all interest of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall


                                    III-13

automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to Countrywide and all
benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the right to accrued
interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk of default
thereon, shall pass to Countrywide. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all
requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to the
Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall
account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the Modified Mortgage
Loan.

      Countrywide shall remit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage
Loan to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified
Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to
Countrywide the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in Countrywide any Modified Mortgage Loan previously
transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. Countrywide covenants and agrees to
indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited
transaction" taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed
on the Trust Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a
Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a
Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified
Mortgage Loan by Countrywide (but such obligation shall not prevent
Countrywide or any other appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any
such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent Countrywide from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings). Countrywide shall have no right of reimbursement for any
amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification, except to the extent
that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties, together with interest
thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or Countrywide.

      SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

      Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for
Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of such request,
the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute and
deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master
Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal
from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From
time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of
flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the
purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or
the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the
Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Master Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof
are deposited in the Certificate Account, in which case the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N,
signed by a Servicing Officer.



                                    III-14
<PAGE>

      If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity.

      SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.

      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds and any
Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.

      SECTION 3.14. Servicing Compensation.

      As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal
to the Master Servicing Fee; provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee
with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal
to the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on all of the Mortgage
Loans, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date, but not to
