This MORTGAGE LOAN CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of
March 1, 1998, is made and entered into by and between PRUDENTIAL SECURITIES
SECURED FINANCING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Depositor"), and
MORTGAGE LENDERS NETWORK HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 1998-1 (the "Issuer"), a

Recitals
On the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the Depositor intends to
contribute and convey, and the Issuer intends to accept and acquire, certain
Mortgage Loans (hereinafter defined) which the Depositor acquired from Mortgage
Lenders Network USA, Inc. (the "Seller") pursuant to that certain Mortgage Loan
Sale Agreement, dated as of March 1, 1998 (the "Sale Agreement"). The Issuer
intends to pledge the Mortgage Loans to Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the
"Indenture Trustee"), under an indenture, to be dated as of March 1, 1998 (the
"Indenture"), by and between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, pursuant to
which the Issuer's Asset Backed Notes, Series 1998-1 (the "Notes") will be
issued. Pursuant to the Deposit Trust Agreement, the Issuer will issue one or
more certificates evidencing a 100% beneficial interest in the Issuer (the
"Certificates"). The Issuer will deliver the net proceeds from the sale of the
Notes and issue the Certificates to or upon the order of the Depositor in
consideration of the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights
thereunder and the rights pursuant to the Sale Agreement (collectively, the
"Consideration").
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given such terms in the Indenture.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Agreement to Contribute and Convey. As and for the
Consideration and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Depositor agrees to contribute and convey, and the Issuer agrees to accept and
acquire, all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the fixed
rate mortgage loans identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule")
annexed hereto as Exhibit A (such loans, together with all related rights,
interests and obligations, are collectively referred to herein as the "Mortgage
Loans"). The Mortgage Loan Schedule will set forth as to each Mortgage Loan the
items specified in the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" in the Indenture.
The aggregate of the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans being
contributed and conveyed pursuant to this Agreement as of the close of business
on the applicable Cut-off Dates, after application of all payments of principal
received in respect of such Mortgage Loans on or before the applicable Cut-off
Dates (the "Initial Mortgage Pool Balance"), is set forth on the Cross Receipt
executed concurrently herewith in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
"Cross Receipt"). Simultaneously with and in consideration of the Depositor's
contribution and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, the Issuer
shall cause the Notes to be issued and delivered and shall transfer the net
proceeds received from the sale of the Notes to be delivered to the Depositor
and the Issuer shall cause the Certificates to be issued to or upon the order of
the Depositor. The Depositor shall be deemed automatically and for all purposes
to have made a contribution to the capital of the Issuer (which contribution
shall be reflected in the value assigned to the certificates evidencing equity
interests in the Issuer) in an aggregate amount specified on the Cross Receipt.
The transfer and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on March 13,
1998 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto
(the "Closing Date").

hereby accept, assume and acquire, all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,

that accrued on such Mortgage Loan during periods prior to the applicable
Cut-off Dates), and each of the rights of the Depositor pursuant to
representations, warranties and indemnities in favor of the Depositor contained
in the Sale Agreement. All payments of interest and principal due on or before
the applicable Cut-off Dates, but collected after the applicable Cut-off Dates,
and recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the applicable

the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement by the
Depositor and the performance and compliance with the terms of this

which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets, or

its assets pursuant to any such agreement, and all board resolutions and

enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (B) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law;
3
(v) the Depositor is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any
order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or
demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory
authority, which violation is likely to affect materially and adversely
either the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or the financial condition of the Depositor;
(vi) the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer as
contemplated herein is not subject to any bulk transfer or similar law in
effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

legal and valid execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by

Mortgage Loan subject to no liens, charges, mortgages, encumbrances or
rights of others and the assignment of the Mortgage Loans contemplated

be held jointly and severally with the Depositor, all of the Depositor's rights

(a) All terms and conditions of this Agreement required to be complied

perform all duties and obligations required to be complied with or performed

5
(b) The Issuer shall have paid all costs and expenses payable by it to the

Both parties shall use their best efforts to perform their respective
obligations hereunder in a manner that will enable the Issuer to acquire the
Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, satisfaction
by the Depositor or Issuer of its respective obligations under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5 shall not be conditions precedent to the obligation
of the Depositor or Issuer, respectively, to close the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
Section 6. Servicing. As of the applicable Cut-off Dates, the Mortgage
Loans will be serviced by Mortgage Lenders Network USA (in such capacity, the
"Servicer") pursuant to the terms of a Servicing Agreement, to be dated as of
March 1, 1998 (the "Servicing Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, the Servicer
and the Indenture Trustee.
Section 7. Grant of a Security Interest. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the
Issuer as provided in Section 2(a) hereof be, and be construed as, a complete
and absolute transfer by the Depositor to the Issuer of all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and not as a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, if, notwithstanding the aforementioned
intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the
Depositor, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance
be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor, and (b) (i) this Agreement
shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2(a) hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer
of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in
and to the Mortgage Loans, and all amounts payable to the holder of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including, without limitation, all such amounts, other than
investment earnings from time to time held or invested pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as
applicable, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other
property; (iii) the subsequent pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee as contemplated by the preamble hereto shall be deemed to be
an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by
the Depositor or the Issuer or any of their respective agents, including,
without limitation, the Indenture Trustee or its agent, of the notes or other
instruments evidencing the indebtedness of the mortgagors under the related
Mortgage Loans (the "Mortgage Notes") and such other items of property relating
to the Mortgage Loans as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or
chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (v) notifications to persons (other than
the Indenture Trustee) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such
6
property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. The Depositor and the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement and the Indenture.
Section 8. Notices. All communications provided for or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a)
