Management is responsible for Cendant Mortgage Corporation's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the entity's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about Cendant Mortgage Corporation's compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Cendant Mortgage Corporation's compliance with the minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that Cendant Mortgage Corporation complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP February 21, 2003 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (logo) Ex-99.2 (a) CENDANT Mortgage (logo) Cendant Mortgage 3000 Leadenhall Road Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 As of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, Cendant Mortgage Corporation (the Company) has complied in all material respects with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers.
