reasonable  actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement  were  determined to
create a security  interest in the  Mortgage  Loans and the other  property  described  above,
such  security  interest  would be  determined  to be a perfected  security  interest of first

included  in  the  collateral  in  which  RFC  grants  a  security  interest  pursuant  to the
immediately preceding paragraph.

               3.  Concurrently  with the execution and delivery  hereof,  the Company  hereby

balance of the Mortgage Loans,  each Mortgage Loan with a  Loan-to-Value  Ratio at origination
in excess of 80% will be insured by a Primary  Insurance  Policy  covering at least 35% of the

origination  if the  Loan-to-Value  Ratio is between  95.00% and  90.01%,  at least 25% of the
balance  if the  Loan-to-Value  Ratio is  between  90.00%  and  85.01% and at least 12% of the
balance  if the  Loan-to-Value  Ratio  is  between  85.00%  and  80.01%.  To the  best  of the

Trustee is entitled to the benefits thereunder;

               (c)    Each  Primary  Insurance  Policy  insures  the  named  insured  and  its
successors  and  assigns,  and the  issuer of the  Primary  Insurance  Policy is an  insurance
company whose claims-paying ability is currently acceptable to the Rating Agencies;

               (d)    Immediately  prior  to the  assignment  of  the  Mortgage  Loans  to the
Company,  RFC had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each  Mortgage Loan free and clear

related  compensation  and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the monthly payment due on
the first Due Date following the Cut-off  Date),  and no action has been taken or failed to be
taken by RFC that would materially  adversely affect the  enforceability  of any Mortgage Loan
or the interests therein of any holder of the Certificates;

               (e)    No Mortgage Loan was 30 or more days  delinquent in payment of principal
and  interest as of the Cut-off  Date and no Mortgage  Loan has been so  delinquent  more than
once in the 12-month period prior to the Cut-off Date;

               (f)    Subject  to clause  (e)  above as  respects  delinquencies,  there is no
default,  breach,  violation or event of  acceleration  existing  under any  Mortgage  Note or
Mortgage and no event which,  with notice and  expiration  of any grace or cure period,  would
constitute  a  default,  breach,  violation  or event of  acceleration,  and no such  default,
breach,  violation  or event of  acceleration  has been  waived by the  Seller or by any other
entity involved in originating or servicing a Mortgage Loan;

               (g)    There is no  delinquent  tax or  assessment  lien against any  Mortgaged
Property;

               (h)    No Mortgagor has any right of offset,  defense or counterclaim as to the
related  Mortgage Note or Mortgage  except as may be provided under the  Servicemembers  Civil
Relief  Act,  formerly  known as the  Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Civil  Relief Act of 1940,  as
amended, and except with respect to any buydown agreement for a Buydown Mortgage Loan;

               (i)    There are no  mechanics'  liens or claims  for work,  labor or  material
affecting  any  Mortgaged  Property  which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal  with,  the
lien of the related Mortgage,  except such liens that are insured or indemnified  against by a
title insurance policy described under clause (aa) below;

affect the value or marketability of any Mortgaged Property;

and except in  connection  with a  trustee's  sale after  default by a  Mortgagor,  no fees or
expenses  are payable by the Seller or RFC to the trustee  under any  Mortgage  that is a deed
of trust;

first  mortgage  loans  having  terms to  maturity  of not more than 30 years from the date of
origination  or  modification  with monthly  payments  due,  with respect to a majority of the
Mortgage Loans,  on the first day of each month;

               (o)    No  Mortgage   Loan   provides   for   deferred   interest  or  negative

leasehold is in full force and effect and is not subject to any prior lien or  encumbrance  by
which  the  leasehold  could be  terminated  or  subject  to any  charge or  penalty;  and the
remaining  term of the lease does not  terminate  less than ten years after the maturity  date
of such Mortgage Loan;

               (q)    Each Assigned  Contract  relating to each Pledged Asset Loan is a valid,
binding and legally enforceable  obligation of the parties thereto,  enforceable in accordance
with  their  terms,  except  as  limited  by  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or other  similar  laws
affecting generally the enforcement of creditor's rights;

               (r)    The  Assignor is the holder of all of the right,  title and  interest as

Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement,  and shall  maintain  the  Schedule  of  Additional  Owner
Mortgage  Loans (as defined in the Credit Support  Pledge  Agreement),  showing the Trustee as
the Additional  Owner of each such Pledged Asset Loan,  all in accordance  with Section 7.1 of
the Credit Support Pledge Agreement.

        Upon  discovery  by RFC or upon  notice from the Company or the Trustee of a breach of
the  foregoing   representations  and  warranties  in  respect  of  any  Mortgage  Loan  which
materially and adversely  affects the interests of any holders of the  Certificates  or of the
Company in such  Mortgage  Loan or upon the  occurrence  of a  Repurchase  Event  (hereinafter
defined),  notice of which  breach or  occurrence  shall be given to the Company by RFC, if it
discovers  the same,  RFC shall,  within 90 days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt
of notice thereof,  either cure such breach or Repurchase  Event in all material  respects or,
either (i) purchase such  Mortgage  Loan from the Trustee or the Company,  as the case may be,
at a price equal to the Purchase  Price for such Mortgage Loan or (ii)  substitute a Qualified
Substitute  Mortgage  Loan or Loans for such  Mortgage  Loan in the manner and  subject to the
limitations  set forth in Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement.  If the breach
of  representation  and warranty that gave rise to the  obligation to repurchase or substitute
a Mortgage  Loan pursuant to this Section 4 was the  representation  and warranty set forth in
clause  (k) or (hh) of this  Section  4, then RFC shall  pay to the Trust  Fund,  concurrently
with and in addition to the remedies  provided in the preceding  sentence,  an amount equal to
any liability,  penalty or expense that was actually  incurred and paid out of or on behalf of
the Trust Fund,  and that directly  resulted from such breach,  or if incurred and paid by the
Trust Fund thereafter, concurrently with such payment.

               5.  With  respect  to  each  Mortgage  Loan,  a  first  lien  repurchase  event
("Repurchase  Event") shall have  occurred if it is  discovered  that, as of the date thereof,
the related  Mortgage  was not a valid first lien on the related  Mortgaged  Property  subject
only to (i) the lien of real  property  taxes and  assessments  not yet due and payable,  (ii)
covenants,  conditions,  and  restrictions,  rights of way,  easements  and other  matters  of
public  record  as of the  date of  recording  of such  Mortgage  and such  permissible  title
exceptions  as are  listed  in the  Program  Guide  and  (iii)  other  matters  to which  like
properties  are commonly  subject which do not  materially  adversely  affect the value,  use,
enjoyment  or  marketability  of the  Mortgaged  Property.  In  addition,  with respect to any
Mortgage  Loan as to which the Company  delivers to the Trustee or the  Custodian an affidavit
certifying that the original  Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed,  if such Mortgage Loan
subsequently  is in  default  and  the  enforcement  thereof  or of the  related  Mortgage  is
materially  adversely  affected by the absence of the  original  Mortgage  Note,  a Repurchase
Event shall be deemed to have  occurred and RFC will be obligated to  repurchase or substitute
for such Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 4 above.

               6.  This  Agreement  shall  inure to the  benefit  of and be  binding  upon the
parties hereto and their  respective  successors  and assigns,  and no other person shall have
any right or obligation hereunder.

EXHIBIT A APPENDIX E OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S GLOSSARY FOR FILE FORMAT FOR LEVELS(R)VERSION 6.0 APPENDIX E - STANDARD & POOR'S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the industry.
