     pursuant to this Trust Agreement and to sell the Bonds and the
     Certificates;

          (ii) to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of
     the Trust;

          (iii) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge and convey the Mortgage

     Collateral released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to
     the Indenture;

          (iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic
     Documents to which it is to be a party;

          (v) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements,

     are incidental thereto or connected therewith, including, without
     limitation, to accept additional contributions of equity that are not
     subject to the Lien of the Indenture; and

          (vi) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such
     other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the

shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or
other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Trust Agreement or the
Basic Documents [while any Bond is outstanding and without regard to the Bonds
and] [without the consent of __% of the Certificateholders].

     Section 2.04. APPOINTMENT OF OWNER TRUSTEE. The Depositor hereby appoints
the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to

Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Trust,
as of the date hereof, the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges
receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing

it shall hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions
set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to
the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a business trust under the Business
Trust Statute and that this Trust Agreement constitute the governing instrument
of such business trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall be treated as a corporation,
with the assets of the corporation being the Owner Trust Estate, the [equity
interest in the corporation] being the Certificates and the Bonds being debt of
the corporation and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to
further this intention. Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement,
the rights of the Certificateholders will be those of [equity owners of the
Trust] formed under the Delaware [corporation law]. The parties agree that,
unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or
cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms
consistent with the characterization of the Trust as a corporation for such tax
purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all
rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Business Trust Statute
with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust.

     Section 2.07. LIABILITY OF THE HOLDER OF THE CERTIFICATES. (a) The Holders
of the Certificates shall be liable directly to and shall indemnify any injured
party for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust
(including Expenses, to the extent not paid out of the Owner Trust Estate) to
the extent that the Holders of the Certificates would be liable if the Trust
were a corporation under [Delaware corporate law]; provided, however, that the
Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable for payments required to be made
on the Bonds or the Certificates, or for any losses incurred by a
Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the Certificates or a Bond
holder in the capacity of an investor in the Bonds. The Holders of the
Certificates shall be liable for any entity level taxes imposed on the Trust. In
addition, any third party creditors of the Trust, including the Credit Enhancer
(other than in connection with the obligations described in the preceding
sentence for which the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable) shall be
deemed third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The obligations of the
Holders of the Certificates under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the
Certificates.

     (b) Subject to subsection (a) above, the Certificateholders shall be
entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders
of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware.

     Section 2.08. TITLE TO TRUST PROPERTY. Legal title to the Owner Trust
Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity
except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of
the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case


                                        4

title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a

          (iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Trust
     Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with,
     result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute
     (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of
     incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or
     other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound;

                     CONVEYANCE OF THE MORTGAGE COLLATERAL;
                                  CERTIFICATES

concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer,
convey, sell and assign to the Trust, on behalf of the Holders of the Bonds and
the Certificates and the Credit Enhancer, without recourse, all its right, title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Collateral. The Depositor will also provide
the Trust with a Surety Bond.

     The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a sale
by the Depositor to the Trust of all of its right, title and interest in and to
the Mortgage Collateral. In the event that the trans action set forth herein is
not deemed to be a sale, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a security
interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Owner
Trust Estate, all distributions thereon and all proceeds thereof; and this Trust
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

     Section 3.02. INITIAL OWNERSHIP. Upon the formation of the Trust by the

     Section 3.03. THE CERTIFICATES. The Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $[_______] and in integral multiples of $______ in excess
thereof; except for one Certificate that may not be in an integral multiple of

authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided
in Section 3.04. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed,
authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled
to the benefit of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication
and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of
authentication and delivery of such Certificates. A Person shall become a
Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person's acceptance of a
Certificate duly registered in such Person's name, pursuant to Section 3.05.

     A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be

<PAGE>



chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further
corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate
shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid
for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the
Owner Trustee or ____________________, by manual signature; such authentication
shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

     Section 3.05. REGISTRATION OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF
CERTIFICATES. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09, a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the [Owner
Trustee] shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. _____________________________
shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns
or is removed, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor Certificate
Registrar.

     Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below and to the
provisions of Section 3.11 with respect to the Designated Certificate, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or

authenticate and deliver (or shall cause __________________________________ as
its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver) in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the
Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Holder,
Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations
of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09.

     Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently
disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary
practice.

     No Person shall become a Certificateholder until it shall establish its
non-foreign status by submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9

from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the
event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall
prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (i) (a) an investment
letter (in

substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D) in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
certifying to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor that such transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" under Rule
144A under the Securities Act, or (b) solely with respect to the Designated
Certificate, an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E), acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, which investment letters shall not
be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Servicer or the Depositor and (ii) the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) acceptable to and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

     No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar
shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed
transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such proposed transferee is
not an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions
of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such
plan or using the assets of any such plan, which representation letter shall not
be an expense of the Trust, Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Servicer or the Depositor or (ii) in the case of any such certificate presented
for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to the
fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan, or any other Person who is using the assets of any such plan to effect
such acquisition, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to, and addressed and delivered to, the Trust, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
Certificate will not result in the assets of the Owner Trust Estate being deemed
to be "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of
ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code, will not constitute
or result in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 or
Section 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those explicitly undertaken in this
Trust Agreement which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust,
the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or Depositor.

     Section 3.06. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if
the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered
to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of
notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on
behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee or ________________, as the Trust's
authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new

3.06, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the
Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.

     Section 3.07. PERSONS DEEMED CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Prior to due presentation
of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the
Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound by

The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate
Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee,
a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as

Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the
Depositor, the Holder of the Designated Certificate, the Certificate Regis trar
or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and
address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

     Section 3.09. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Owner Trustee on behalf

give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Holder of the Designated
Certificate and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the
Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

     Section 4.01. GENERAL AUTHORITY. The Owner Trustee is authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be
a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or
contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and any
amendment or other agreement or instrument described herein, in each case, in
such form as the Administrator shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the
Owner Trustee's execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required
of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further
authorized from time to time to take such action as the Administrator directs
with respect to the Basic Documents.

     Section 4.02. GENERAL DUTIES. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to
discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to
the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Basic Documents to which the Trust is
a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders,
subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this
Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under
the Basic Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the
Administration Agreement to perform such acts or to discharge such duties of the
Owner Trustee or the Trust hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner
Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator
to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

     Section 4.03. ACTION UPON INSTRUCTION. (a) Subject to Article IV and in
accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by
written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust.
Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the
Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required
to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee
shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that
such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or
is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise
contrary to law.

     (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative
courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Agreement or
under any Basic Document, or in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to
the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document
or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to
be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Trust Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or
is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to
take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly
give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to
the Certificateholders (with a copy to the Credit Enhancer) requesting
instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the
Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any


                                       13

<PAGE>



written instruction of the Certificateholders received, the Owner Trustee shall
not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee
shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice
(or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such
notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under
no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this

interests of the Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no
liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

     Section 4.04. NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED UNDER SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS OR IN
INSTRUCTIONS. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage,
make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or

taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby
to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic
Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to
the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03; and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing
or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to
it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing
for the Trust or to record this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner
Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly

Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner
Trust Estate.

Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificateholders all funds on deposit in
the Certificate Distribution Account and available therefor (as provided in
Section 3.05 of the Indenture), as principal and the Certificate Distribution

     (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions

Section 5.01. The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to

amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall
be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is
withheld by the Certificate Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing
authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with
respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder), the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion
withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b).

     (c) All calculations of the Certificate Distribution Amount on the
Certificates shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in an
Interest Period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days.

     (d) Distributions to Certificateholders shall be subordinated to the

immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall
have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at
least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed
to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.

     Section 5.03. SIGNATURE ON RETURNS. The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf
of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust.

Trust as it deems necessary or desirable in its sole discretion to carry out the
business of the Trust or the purposes of this Trust Agreement if permitted by
applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election under Section 754 of
the Code shall not be made without the written consent of a majority in interest
of the Holders of the Certificates. The Holder of the Designated Certificate
shall serve as tax matters partner for the Trust.

CERTIFICATE. In the event that an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to
the Holder of the Designated Certificate, this Trust Agreement and the Trust

such Insolvency Event, unless, before the end of such 90-day period, the Owner
Trustee shall have received written instructions from (a) if no Credit Enhancer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Holders of Certificates (other

having a parent that has) a rating of at least Baa3 by [Moody's]. If such

Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 9.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and

immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing
Owner Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to
the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

     Section 9.03. SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee

Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner
Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,

with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner
Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor
Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this
Trust Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section 9.03, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all
Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Bondholders and the Rating
Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the
successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of
the Administrator.

         Section 9.04. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any Person into
which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and,
provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

     Section 9.05. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Administrator and
the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner
Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Owner
Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the
Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the
Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall
not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust Agreement shall
be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

<PAGE>



     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

     (a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the
Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner Trust Estate or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of
the Owner Trustee;

     (b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement;
and

     (c) The Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Trust Agreement and the
conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appoint ment, either jointly with the Owner
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the
Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

                AMERIQUEST MORTGAGE SECURITIES INC., AS DEPOSITOR

         This certifies that [name of Holder] is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest represented hereby in the Ameriquest Trust Series ____-__
(the "Trust").

         The Trust was created pursuant to an Trust Agreement dated as of
________________ (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Trust
Agreement") between the Depositor and ______________________, as owner trustee
(as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Owner Trustee", which term
includes any successor entity under the Trust Agreement), a summary of certain
of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereinafter. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Collateralized
Mortgage Certificates, Series ____-__ (herein called the "Certificates") issued
under the Trust Agreement to which reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights thereunder of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the

of the Holders of the Certificates are subordinated to the rights of the Holders
of the Bonds, as set forth in the [Indenture].

         There will be distributed on the [twentieth] day of each month or, if
such [twentieth] day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (each, a
"Payment Date"), commencing in _____________, to the Person in whose name this

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Payment Account that
have been released from the Lien of the Indenture for payment hereunder and that
neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity nor the Depositor is
personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this
Certificate or the Trust Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Trust
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Trust Agreement.

any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a corporation. The
Depositor and each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to
treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the
Certificates for such tax purposes as an equity interest in a corporation.

         Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, covenants
and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against
the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of,
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the
Certificates, the Bonds, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

         Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust
Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to
the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the
presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation

notice by the Certificate Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and

                            [REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]


         The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such
parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated herein or
in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is
not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in
right of payment to certain collections and recoveries with respect to the
Mortgage Collateral, all as more specifically set forth herein. A copy of the
Trust Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon written request
during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at
such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

         The Trust Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below,
provided that any amendment be accompanied by the consent of the Credit Enhancer
and an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment
complies with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and will not cause the Trust
to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to
correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal
with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of
any Holder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from the
Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or
withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any Security. If the purpose of the
amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time
that any Security is outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the
consent of the any Holder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an
Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the
imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Holder. If the
purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the
Trust Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the
amendment shall require either (a) a letter from the Rating Agencies that the
amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then
assigned to any Security or (b) the consent of Holders of the Certificates
evidencing a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates and the
Indenture Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in
any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are
required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the related
Certificateholder, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

         As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by
the Trust in the _________________________________, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the
Trust Agreement is __________________________________.

         Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates are
issuable only in minimum denominations of $______ and in integral multiples of
$______ in excess thereof, except for one Certificate that may not be in an
integral multiple of $______. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.

         The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and
the Trust created thereby shall terminate (i) upon the final distribution of all
moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, (ii) the Payment Date
in ____________, or (iii) upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Holder of the
Designated Certificate and the satisfaction of other conditions specified in

                  The undersigned seller, as registered holder (the "Seller"),
intends to transfer the Rule 144A Securities described above to the undersigned
buyer (the "Buyer").

                  1. In connection with such transfer and in accordance with the
agreements pursuant to which the Rule 144A Securities were issued, the Seller
hereby certifies the following facts: Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on
its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the
Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other
similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge
or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A
Securities or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or
negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule
144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or
made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other
manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the
Rule 144A Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), or that would render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a
violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto,
and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any person other
than the Buyer or another "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule
144A under the 1933 Act.

                  2. The Buyer warrants and represents to, and covenants with,
the Owner Trustee and the Depositor (as defined in the Trust Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of _________, ____ between Ameriquest Mortgage Securities
Inc., as Depositor and ______________________, as Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Agreement and __________________________________ as
indenture trustee, as follows:

                           a. The Buyer understands that the Rule 144A
         Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the
         securities laws of any state.

                           b. The Buyer considers itself a substantial,
         sophisticated institutional investor having such knowledge and
         experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
         evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Rule 144A
         Securities.

                           c. The Buyer has been furnished with all information
         regarding the Rule 144A Securities that it has requested from the
         Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Servicer.

<PAGE>



                           d. Neither the Buyer nor anyone acting on its behalf
         has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the
         Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any
         other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a
         transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities, any
         interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security
         from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule
         144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other
         similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general
         solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or
         taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the
         Rule 144A Securities under the 1933 Act or that would render the
         disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the
         1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor
         has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such
         manner with respect to the Rule 144A Securities.

                           e. The Buyer is a "qualified institutional buyer" as
         that term is defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and has completed
         either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as
         Annex 1 or Annex 2. The Buyer is aware that the sale to it is being
         made in reliance on Rule 144A. The Buyer is acquiring the Rule 144A
         Securities for its own account or the accounts of other qualified
         institutional buyers, understands that such Rule 144A Securities may be
         resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed
         to be a qualified institutional buyer that purchases for its own
         account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom
         notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in
         reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from
         registration under the 1933 Act.

                  [3. The Buyer warrants and represents to, and covenants with,
the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Servicer and the Depositor
that either (1) the Buyer is (A) not an employee benefit plan (within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA")), or a plan (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code")), which (in either case) is subject
to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (both a "Plan"), and (B) is not directly or
indirectly purchasing the Rule 144A Securities on behalf of, as investment
manager of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a
Plan, or (2) the Buyer understands that registration of transfer of any Rule
144A Securities to any Plan, or to any Person acting on behalf of any Plan, will
not be made unless such Plan delivers an opinion of its counsel, addressed and
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that
the purchase and holding of the Rule 144A Securities by, on behalf of or with
"plan assets" of any Plan would not constitute or result in a prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and would
not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust to
any obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or any other
liability.]

                  4. This document may be executed in one or more counterparts
and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which,
when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts,
together, shall constitute one and the same document.

In addition, the Buyer agrees that the Buyer will not purchase securities for a
third party unless the Buyer has obtained a current representation letter from
such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

             7. The Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Buyer's purchase of Rule 144A Securities will
