UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES

Approximately % of the Assets have been originated by , a wholly-owned subsidiary of . The balance of the Assets were acquired by in flow or bulk purchases and originated through various correspondent lenders. The Assets acquired by were originated by the following originators, representing the following percentages of the Assets: (approximately %), (approximately %) and (approximately %).

Assets acquired by and originated through correspondent lenders have been underwritten generally in accordance with underwriting guidelines (" Underwriting Guidelines"), as more specifically described below. Assets originated by other originators have been underwritten generally in accordance with underwriting standards that have been approved by . 's review of the underwriting standards of other originators includes the consideration of credit and other factors to determine that such standards are appropriate for the origination of loans substantially similar to those originated under the Underwriting Guidelines.

However, with respect to certain of the Assets originated in established Asset programs with correspondent lenders, may not review individual Assets to determine if each Asset was underwritten in accordance with Underwriting Guidelines.

Underwriting Guidelines

The Underwriting Guidelines are applied to evaluate the prospective borrower's credit standing and ability to repay the loan obligations as well as to assess the value and adequacy of the prospective mortgaged property as collateral. These standards are applied in accordance with the applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Underwriting Guidelines generally comply with the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, except that loans may exceed the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac original principal balance purchase limits. In addition, other loan characteristics such as loan-to-value ratios and income documentation requirements, may differ from stated Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, though most generally would comply with characteristics of loans that Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would acquire from as a result of negotiated modifications to published underwriting guidelines. The Underwriting Guidelines are described in greater detail in the accompanying prospectus.

On a case-by-case basis, may determine that, based upon compensating factors, a prospective borrower warrants an exception from one or more of the underwriting guidelines. Compensating factors may include, but are not limited to, low loan-to-value ratios, low debt-to-income ratios, good credit history, higher FICO scores, higher loan scores, if available, stable employment, financial reserves, and time in residence at the applicant's current address.

SERVICING OF THE ASSETS

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

The Servicer will be entitled to a monthly fee (the "Servicing Fee") with respect to each Asset, equal to one-twelfth of [ - ]% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") multiplied by the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Asset as of the due date in the prior calendar month. As compensation for its services under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain from the interest portion of the Scheduled Monthly Payment the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid scheduled principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on an asset is computed. The Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Monthly Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the payment of the Servicing Fee for any month, the aggregate Servicing Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Prepayment Period.

As additional servicing compensation, the Servicer is entitled to retain all servicing-related fees, including assumption fees, modification fees, ancillary servicing fees, extension fees, non-sufficient fund fees, real estate referral fees, late payment charges and other service-related fees (other than Prepayment Premiums) to the extent collected from the borrowers, together with any interest or other income earned on funds held in the Collection Account, custodial accounts and escrow accounts.

As compensation for master servicing, the Master Servicer will be entitled to compensation (the "Master Servicing Fee") equal to a monthly fee with respect to each Asset, equal to one-twelfth of [ - ]% (the "Master Servicing Fee Rate") multiplied by the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Asset as of the Due Date in the prior calendar month.

The Master Servicing Fee and the Servicing Fee are subject to reduction as described below under "-Compensating Interest Payments." See "Certain Terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture-Retained Interest; Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the accompanying prospectus for information regarding expenses payable by the Master Servicer and the Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Servicer will be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses prior to payment of any amounts to Noteholders. See "Servicing of the Assets-Collection and Other Servicing Procedures" and "-Remittance of Payments on Assets" in the accompanying prospectus.

Compensating Interest Payments

When a borrower prepays an Asset in full other than on a Due Date, an Asset is liquidated on a date other than a Due Date, or the Servicer applies a prepayment in part other than on a succeeding Due Date, the borrower pays interest on the amount prepaid only from the last Due Period to the date of prepayment, with a resulting reduction in interest payable for the month during which the prepayment is made causing a Prepayment Interest Shortfall. For any Payment Date, the Servicer will be obligated to make a payment with respect to any Prepayment Interest Shortfall in the amount (each such payment, a "Compensating Interest Payment") equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall, but not in excess of its Servicing Fee for such month.

Advances

Under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will be obligated to make advances from its owns funds or funds in the Custodial Account that are not included in Available Funds for such

S-52


Table of Contents

Payment Date, with respect to delinquent payments of principal and interest on the Assets (other than Balloon Payments) (each, a "Monthly Advance"), delinquent payments of taxes, insurance premiums, foreclosure costs, and other escrowed items (each, a "Servicing Advance"), to the extent that such advances, in its judgment, are reasonably recoverable from future payments and collections, insurance payments or proceeds of liquidation of the related Asset. The Master Servicer will be obligated to make any required Monthly Advance if the Servicer fails in its obligation to do so, to the extent provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to recover any advances made by it with respect to a Asset out of late payments thereon or out of related liquidation and insurance proceeds or, if those amounts are insufficient, from collections on other Assets.

The purpose of making Monthly Advances is to ensure continuity in cash flow to the Noteholders, rather than to guarantee or insure against losses. No party will be required to make any Monthly Advances with respect to reductions in the amount of the monthly payments on Assets due to reductions made by a bankruptcy court in the amount of a Scheduled Monthly Payment owed by a borrower or a reduction of the applicable Asset rate by application of the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act or similar laws.

The Transfer and Servicing Agreement also provides that the Servicer may enter into a facility with any person which provides that such person may fund Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of the Servicer to fund such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances. Any Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances funded by an advancing person will be reimbursed to the advancing person in the same manner as reimbursements would be made to the Servicer.

Ability of Servicer to Waive or Modify any Terms, Fees, Penalties or Payments of the Assets

Pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer is authorized to waive, modify or vary any term of any Asset or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Issuing Entity or the Noteholders. In no event is the Servicer authorized to advanced funds to the borrower, or extend the maturity of an Asset beyond the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items

The Servicer will, to the extent required by the related loan documents and permitted by law, maintain escrow accounts for the collection of standard hazard insurance premiums and real estate taxes and assessments with respect to the related Assets, and will make advances with respect to delinquencies in required escrow payments by the related borrowers to the extent necessary to avoid the loss of a mortgaged property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure thereof as a result of a tax lien.

Insurance Coverage

The Servicer is required to obtain and thereafter maintain in effect a bond, corporate guaranty or similar form of insurance coverage (which may provide blanket coverage), or any combination thereof, insuring against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such servicer's employees.

The Credit Risk Manager will rely upon Asset data that are provided to it by the Servicer and the Master Servicer in performing its advisory and monitoring functions. On each Payment Date, the Credit Risk Manager will be entitled to a fee (the "Credit Risk Manager Fee") of one-twelfth of [ ]% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Assets as of the close of business on the Due Date in the prior calendar month. Such fee will be payable until the termination of the Issuing Entity or until the Credit Risk Manager's removal by a vote of at least 51% of the Noteholders.]

Rights Upon Master Servicer Events of Default

So long as a Master Servicer Event of Default under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement remains unremedied, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may, and shall, if so directed by Noteholders evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the voting rights), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer of the Assets, as provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. If this occurs, the Indenture Trustee will succeed to, or appoint a successor to succeed to, all of the responsibilities and duties of the Master Servicer under the Indenture, including the obligation to make advances.

No assurance can be given that termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement would not adversely affect the servicing of the Assets, including the loss and delinquency experience of the Assets.

Noteholders representing 66-2/3% of the voting rights may waive any Master Servicer Event of Default, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Collection Account that would result in a failure of the Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Notes may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Noteholders.

Resignation of Master Servicer

No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed, the Master Servicer's obligations under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Notice of resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Indenture Trustee.

[Resignation of Servicer

The Servicer may not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement except upon the determination that the Servicer's duties under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee which opinion of counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor meeting the requirements set forth in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.]

Optional Purchase of Defaulted Loans

The Depositor or its affiliates have the option to acquire any Asset which is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or for which the related secured property has suffered material damage; provided, that the Depositor and its affiliates may not acquire more than % of the Assets by aggregate Cut-off Date Balance. These purchases will have the same effect on the holders of the Notes as a prepayment of those Assets.

Certain Matters Regarding the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee
