          (e)  No Conflict. The execution by the Insurer of this Insurance

terminated in accordance with its terms. The Premium paid pursuant to the

Documents, any party to any of the Transaction Documents (in its capacity as
such a party) or the Transaction, the costs and fees of inspections by the

Information.

                   (i)    any statement, omission or action (other than of the

                                       23

<PAGE>

             (d) If any action or proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person (each, an
"Indemnified Party") in respect of which the indemnity provided in Section
3.4(a) , (b) or (c) may be sought from New South, the Depositor, the Issuer or
the Insurer, as the case may be (the "Indemnifying Party"), each such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all expenses and legal fees; provided that failure to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability it may have to such
Indemnified Party except to the extent that it shall be actually prejudiced
thereby. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at the expense of
the Indemnified Party and may assume the defense of any such action or claim in
reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable cooperation of, the
Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of separate
counsel to the Indemnified Party in any such proceeding shall be at the expense
of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such
fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the
defense of such action or proceeding or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party in any such action or proceeding within a reasonable
time after the commencement of such action or (iii) the named parties to any
such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such
Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party
shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any
time for the Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by
the Indemnified Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent
to the extent that any such settlement shall be prejudicial to the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but, if
settled with its written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action or proceeding with respect to which the
Indemnifying Party shall have received notice in accordance with this subsection
(d), the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties
harmless from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.

             (e) To provide for just and equitable contribution if the
indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party is determined to be
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party (other than
due to application of this Section), each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to
the losses incurred by the Indemnified Party on the basis of the relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party, on the one

                                       24

<PAGE>

hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand. The relative fault of each
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and each Indemnified Party, on the other,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the breach or
alleged breach is within the control of the Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such breach. No Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

       Section 3.5. Payment Procedure. In the event of any payment by the
Insurer for which reimbursement is sought under Section 3.3, the Issuer, New
South and the Indenture Trustee agree to accept the voucher or other evidence of
payment as prima facie evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability, if
any, described in Section 3.3 therefor to the Insurer; provided, that with
respect to claims for reimbursement of amounts other than amounts paid by the
Insurer under the Ambac Policy and any interest thereon made to New South under
Section 3.3(b), the Insurer will also provide appropriate supporting documents
to New South for such claims. All payments to be made to the Insurer under this
Insurance Agreement shall be made to the Insurer (to such account as shall be
specified by the Insurer in writing) by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the date when due in lawful currency of the United States of America in
immediately available funds or as the Insurer shall otherwise direct by written
notice to the party making such payment. In the event that the date of any
payment to the Insurer or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on
a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment or expiration of time period
shall be made or occur on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if such payment was made or time period expired on the scheduled
date of payment or expiration date.

       Section 3.6. Subrogation. The parties hereto acknowledge that, to the
extent of any payment made by the Insurer pursuant to the Ambac Policy, the
Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment and any interest
due thereon, to the rights of the Noteholders to any moneys paid or payable in
respect of the Class A Notes under the Transaction Documents or otherwise
subject to applicable law. The parties hereto agree to such subrogation and
further agree to execute such instruments and to take such actions as, in the
sole and reasonable judgment of the Insurer, are necessary to evidence such
subrogation and to perfect the rights of the Insurer to receive any such moneys
paid or payable in respect of the Class A Notes, under the Transaction Documents
or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE IV

       Section 4.1. Effective Date; Term of the Insurance Agreement. This
Insurance Agreement shall take effect on the Closing Date and shall remain in
effect until the later of (a) such time as the Insurer is no longer subject to a
claim under the Ambac Policy and such policy has been surrendered to the Insurer
for cancellation and (b) such time as all amounts payable to the Insurer by the
New South Parties hereunder or under the

                                       25

<PAGE>

Transaction Documents and the Class A Notes have been irrevocably paid and
redeemed in full and such Class A Notes have been cancelled; provided, however,
that the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall survive any
termination of this Insurance Agreement.

       Section 4.2.  Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments.

                 (a) Unless an Insurer Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or except as the Indenture otherwise provides, none of the Indenture
Trustee and none of the other Transaction Parties shall grant any waiver of
rights under any of the Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party
without the prior written consent of the Insurer and any such waiver without
prior written consent of the Insurer shall be null and void and of no force or
effect.

                 (b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will, from time
to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged
and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments and
agreements and take such further actions as the Insurer may reasonably request
and as may be required in the Insurer's reasonable judgment to effectuate the
intent and purpose of this Insurance Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent such authorization
shall be required by law, each New South Party hereby authorizes the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer, at the expense of the Issuer, in the event the Issuer
has failed to do so upon request (provided that no such request shall be
required if there exists any Insolvency Proceeding), to execute and file
financing statements covering the assets covered by any purchase or transfer
pursuant to the Transaction Documents or owned by the Issuer in such
jurisdictions as may be required to confirm title thereto and perfect and
maintain the lien thereon. In addition, each of the parties hereto agrees to
cooperate with the Rating Agencies in connection with any review of the
Transaction conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not
unreasonably disrupt the business of the Transaction Parties, that may be
undertaken by the Rating Agencies after the date hereof upon prior written
notice.

                 (c) None of the Transaction Parties shall cause or permit the
Issuer to issue any notes or other evidences of indebtedness, or to otherwise
incur any indebtedness, other than the indebtedness represented by the Class A
Notes or other indebtedness expressly permitted under the Transaction Documents.

                 (d) Each Transaction Party shall concurrently provide the
Insurer, as and when delivery thereof is required to be made pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, with copies of all reports, notices, requests and demands
delivered or required to be delivered by it pursuant to the Transaction
Documents.

       Section 4.3.  Obligations Absolute.

                 (a) The obligations of the Transaction Parties hereunder shall

Policy proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect

against presentation of a certificate or other document that does not strictly
comply with the terms of the Ambac Policy;

                   (vi)   any failure of the Transaction Parties to receive the
proceeds from the sale of the Class A Notes;

                   (vii)  any Insolvency Event with respect to any Transaction
Party; and

                   (viii) any other circumstances, other than payment in full,
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, such
party in respect of any Transaction Document.

             (b)   The Transaction Parties and any and all others who are now or
may become liable for all or any part of the obligations of the Transaction
Parties under this Insurance Agreement agree to be bound by this Insurance

<PAGE>

shall operate only for such event and not for any subsequent event; (vii)
consent to any and all extensions of time that may be granted by the Insurer
with respect to any payment hereunder or other provisions hereof and to the
release of any security at any time given for any payment hereunder, or any part
thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of any Person or
entity liable for any such payment; and (viii) consent to the addition of any
and all other makers, endorsers, guarantors and other obligors for any payment
hereunder, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for any payment
hereunder, and agree that the addition of any such obligors or security shall
not affect the liability of the parties hereto for any payment hereunder.

             (c)   Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any party
hereto from pursuing any rights or remedies it may have against any Person in a
separate legal proceeding.

      Section 4.4. Assignments; Reinsurance; Third-Party Rights.

the parties hereto and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of
the Transaction Parties may assign its rights under this Insurance Agreement, or
delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the
Insurer. Any assignments made in violation of this Insurance Agreement shall be
null and void.

             (b)   The Insurer shall have the right to give participations in
its rights under this Insurance Agreement and to enter into contracts of
reinsurance with respect to the Ambac Policy upon such terms and conditions as
the Insurer may in its discretion determine; provided, however, that no such
participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve the Insurer
of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Ambac Policy, and provided,
further, that any reinsurer or participant will not have any rights against the
Transaction Parties or the Holders and that none of the Transaction Parties or
the Holders shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship
with any reinsurer or participant in order to enforce the obligations of the
Insurer hereunder and under the Ambac Policy.

             (c)   The Insurer shall be entitled to assign or pledge to any
bank, other lender or reinsurer providing liquidity or credit with respect to
the Transaction or the obligations of the Insurer in connection therewith, any
rights of the Insurer under the Transaction Documents or with respect to any
real or personal property or other interests pledged to the Insurer or in which
the Insurer has a security interest, in connection with the Transaction, subject
in each case to the liens granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents;
provided that no such bank or other lender shall thereby obtain any direct right
against Transaction Parties or the Holders, and further, provided; that no such
assignment or pledge shall give any assignee the right to exercise any
discretionary authority that the Transaction Documents provide shall be
exercisable by the Insurer or relieve the Insurer of any of its obligations
hereunder or under the Ambac Policy.

             (d)      Except as provided herein with respect to participants and
reinsurers, nothing in this Insurance Agreement shall confer any right, remedy
or claim, express or implied, upon any Person not a party hereto, including any
Holders, other than the rights of the Insurer against the Transaction Parties
and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained
herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and
their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any
Holders shall have any right to payment from any Premiums paid or payable
hereunder or under the Indenture or from any amounts paid by the Issuer or New
South pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 hereof.

         Section 4.5. Liability of the Insurer. Neither the Insurer nor any of
its officers, directors or employees shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the
use that may be made of the Ambac Policy by the Indenture Trustee or any other
party or for any acts or omissions of the Indenture Trustee or any other party
in connection therewith; or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or
genuineness of documents delivered to the Insurer in connection with any claim
under the Ambac Policy, or of any signatures thereon, even if such documents or
signatures should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged (unless the Insurer shall have actual
knowledge thereof). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Insurer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation.

         Section 4.6. [Reserved]

         Section 4.7. Rights and Remedies. Each party to this Insurance
Agreement has acknowledged and agreed to, and hereby confirms its
acknowledgement and agreement to, the collateral sale and assignment by the
Originator to the Depositor, by the Depositor to the Issuer, and the pledge by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, of all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Trust Estate, and the Transaction Documents and all of the
Issuer's rights, remedies, powers and privileges and all claims of the Issuer or
the Depositor, as the case may be, against the Originator, of the Issuer against
the Depositor and of the Issuer against the Depositor or the Originator, under
or with respect to the Transaction Documents (whether arising pursuant to the
terms thereof or otherwise available at law or in equity), including without
limitation (whether or not any of a Default or Event of Default under the
Indenture, an Insurance Event of Default hereunder, a Servicer Default has
occurred and is continuing) (i) the right of the Issuer at any time to enforce
the Transaction Documents against the Servicer, the Depositor or the Originator
and the obligations of the Servicer, the Originator and the Depositor thereunder
and (ii) the right at any time to give or withhold any and all consents,
requests, notices, directions, approvals, demands, extensions or waivers under
or with respect to any Transaction Document or the obligations in respect of the
Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Originator thereunder, all of which
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims may, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary by any of the Transaction Documents, be exercised
and/or enforced by the Indenture Trustee in lieu of and in the place and stead
of the Depositor and the Issuer to the same extent as the Depositor or the
Issuer would otherwise do, and except to the extent a Transaction Document
provides that the Insurer shall not have such a right upon an Insurer Default
that has occurred and is continuing, neither the Depositor nor the Issuer may
exercise any of the foregoing

                                       29

<PAGE>

rights without the prior written consent of the Insurer. Each party hereto
further acknowledges and agrees that, unless an Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will take or refrain from taking any
action, and exercise or refrain from exercising any rights under the Transaction
Documents in its capacity as Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction
of the Insurer; provided, however, that the obligations of the Indenture Trustee
to take or refrain from taking, or to exercise or refrain from exercising, any
such action or rights shall not apply to routine administrative tasks required
to be performed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Transaction Documents
and shall be limited to those actions and rights that can be exercised or taken
(or not exercised or taken, as the case may be) in full compliance with the
provisions of the Transaction Documents and with applicable law.

         Section 4.8. Approval of Successor Servicer. The Insurer agrees that in
connection with any merger or consolidation of the Servicer as contemplated by
Section 8.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, that the successor or surviving
entity will be acceptable to the Insurer if (i) the successor or surviving
entity has a net worth of at least $50 million and (ii) in the Insurer's
reasonable determination, the merger or consolidation would not impair the
Servicer's ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.

                                    ARTICLE V

         Section 5.1. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events
shall constitute an "Insurance Event of Default" hereunder:

                 (a)  Any representation or warranty made by any of the
Transaction Parties hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, or in any
certificate furnished hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, prove to be
untrue or misleading in any material respect; provided, however, that if such
Transaction Party effectively cures any such defect in any representation or
warranty under any Transaction Document or certificate or report furnished under
any Transaction Document, within the time period specified in the related
Transaction Document as the cure period therefor, such defect shall not in and
of itself constitute an Insurance Event of Default;

                 (b)  (i) Any Transaction Party fails to pay or deposit when due
any amount required to be paid or deposited by it hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document and such failure has continued for a period of at least
three (3) Business Days or, if so specified in the applicable Transaction
Document, the applicable grace period set forth herein, or (ii) a legislative
body has enacted any law that declares or a court of competent jurisdiction
finds or rules that this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document
is not valid and binding on the Transaction Parties hereto or thereto;

                                       30

<PAGE>

             (c)  The occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under
the Indenture or Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

             (d)  Any failure on the part of any Transaction Party duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
agreements on the part of such Transaction Party contained in this Insurance
Agreement or in any other Transaction Document which continues unremedied beyond
any cure period provided therein, or, in the case of this Insurance Agreement,
for a period of 45 days after the earlier of the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to New South by
the Insurer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or by the Indenture Trustee
(with a copy to the Insurer), or a Responsible Officer of such Transaction Party
has actual knowledge thereof;

             (e)  The entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for appointment of a
conservator, receiver or liquidator or similar official for any Transaction
Party which is a party to any Transaction Document in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings or for the winding up or liquidation of its respective
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect
for a period of 30 consecutive days; or

             (f)  The consent by any Transaction Party to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar official in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, or
similar proceedings of or relating to such Transaction Party or relating to all
or substantially all of its respective property; or any such Transaction Party
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
files a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

     Section 5.2. Remedies; No Remedy Exclusive.

             (a)  Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Event of Default
hereunder, the Insurer may take whatever action at law or in equity as may
appear necessary or desirable in its judgment to collect the amounts, if any,
then due under this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to
enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of
the Transaction Parties under this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, either in its own capacity or as Controlling Party. For the avoidance
of doubt, (i) no Insurance Event of Default shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Indenture unless the event or circumstance giving rise to such
Insurance Event of Default shall expressly constitute an Event of Default under
the Indenture and (ii) no Insurance Event of Default shall constitute a Servicer
Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement unless the event or circumstance
giving rise to such Insurance Event of Default shall expressly constitute a
Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                       31

<PAGE>

          (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein conferred or
reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given
under this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at
law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing
under this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document upon the
happening of any event set forth in Section 5.1 shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In
order to entitle the Insurer to exercise any remedy reserved to the Insurer in
this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such
notice as may be required by this Article.

          (c) Each party to this Insurance Agreement hereby agrees that, in
addition to any other rights or remedies existing in its favor, it shall be
entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce
any of its rights or any obligation owed to it under the Transaction Documents.

     Section 5.3. Waivers.

          (a) No failure by the Insurer to exercise, and no delay by the Insurer
in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. The
exercise by the Insurer of any right hereunder shall not preclude the exercise
of any other right, and the remedies provided herein to the Insurer are declared
in every case to be cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law
or equity.

          (b) The Insurer shall have the right, to be exercised in its complete
discretion, to waive any Insurance Event of Default hereunder, by a writing
setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed by the
Insurer and delivered to New South and the Indenture Trustee. Unless such
writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend
only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Insurance Event
of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which
occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

                                   ARTICLE VI

shall be required for any amendment, modification, supplement or termination
hereof. New South agrees to provide a copy of any amendment to this Insurance
Agreement promptly to the Rating Agencies. No act or course of dealing shall be
deemed to constitute an amendment, modification, supplement or termination
hereof. Unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the other
Transaction Documents may be amended, modified or supplemented only with the

between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
supersede and replace any agreement or understanding that may have existed

Execution and delivery of this Insurance Agreement by facsimile signature shall
