                                WITNESSETH THAT:

        WHEREAS,  the  Depositor  and the  Owner  Trustee  entered  into a trust
agreement  dated as of September 19, 2001, in connection with the formation of a
Delaware business trust (the "Original Trust Agreement");

     WHEREAS,  the Depositor and the Owner Trustee wish to amend and restate the

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  Organization

        Section  2.01.  Name.  The trust created  hereby (the "Trust")  shall be
known as "Home Loan Trust 2001-HI4," in which name the Owner Trustee may conduct
the business of the Trust,  make and execute  contracts and other instruments on
behalf of the Trust and sue and be sued.

        Section  2.02.  Office.  The office of the Trust shall be in care of the
Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address in Delaware
as the Owner Trustee may designate by written  notice to the  Certificateholders
and the Depositor.

        Section 2.03. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage
in the following activities:(i) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and
the Certificates  pursuant to this Trust Agreement and to sell the Notes and the
Certificates;  (ii) to  purchase  the Home Loans and to pay the  organizational,
start-up  and  transactional  expenses  of the Trust;  (iii) to  assign,  grant,
transfer,  pledge and convey the Home Loans  pursuant  to the  Indenture  and to
hold,  manage and distribute to the  Certificateholders  pursuant to Section5.01
any  portion of the Home Loans  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, that are necessary, suitable or
convenient to accomplish  the foregoing or 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 Owner Trust Estate and the
making of distributions to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders. The Trust
is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing


                                             -2-

<PAGE>



activities.  The Trust 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 Note is outstanding without the
consent of the Holders of a majority of the Certificate  Percentage  Interest of
the Certificates and the Indenture Trustee.

         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 have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.

        Section 2.05.  Initial Capital  Contribution of Owner Trust Estate.  The
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
contribution,  which shall  constitute the initial corpus of the Trust and shall
be deposited in the  Certificate  Distribution  Account.  The Owner Trustee also
acknowledges on behalf of the Issuer, the receipt in trust of the Home Loans and
a Credit Enhancement  Instrument assigned to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.01,
which shall constitute the Owner Trust Estate.

        Section 2.06.  Declaration of Trust.  The Owner Trustee hereby  declares
that 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 Certificate  holders,
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.  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. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for federal, state
and local income and franchise  tax  purposes,  the Trust shall be treated as an
entity  disregarded  from the sole  holder  of 100% of the  Certificates,  which
Certificates  shall initially be owned by the Depositor or an affiliate thereof,
and the provisions of this Trust  Agreement shall be interpreted to further this
intention.  If more than one person owns the Certificates for federal income tax
purposes,  then it is the  intention  of the  parties  hereto,  that  solely for
federal,  state and local income and  franchise  tax purposes the Trust shall be
treated as a  partnership,  with the assets of the  partnership  being the Trust
Estate,  the partners of the partnership  being the  Certificateholders  and the
Notes being debt of the  partnership  and the provisions of this Trust Agreement
shall be interpreted to further this intention.  The parties agree that,  unless
otherwise  required by appropriate tax authorities,  the Owner Trustee will file
or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns,  reports and other forms
consistent  with the  characterization  of the Owner  Trust as an entity  wholly
owned by the Depositor or an affiliate  thereof,  or, if two or more persons own
the Certificates, as a partnership for such tax purposes.

        Section 2.07. Liability of the Holders of the Certificates.  The Holders
of the  Certificates  shall be liable for any entity level taxes  imposed on the
Owner Trust.

     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


                                             -3-

<PAGE>



requires  title to any part of the Owner Trust  Estate to be vested in a trustee
or  trustees,  in which  case  title  shall be  deemed to be vested in the Owner
Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

        Section 2.09. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located and administered
in the State of Delaware.  All bank accounts  maintained by the Owner Trustee on
behalf of the Trust  shall be located in the State of  Delaware  or the State of
New  York.  The Trust  shall not have any  employees  in any  state  other  than
Delaware;  provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the
Owner Trustee from having  employees  within or without the State of Delaware or
taking  actions  outside the State of  Delaware in order to comply with  Section
2.03.  Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York,  and
payments  will be made by the Trust  only from  Delaware  or New York.  The only
office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in Delaware.

        Section  2.10.  Representations  and  Warranties of the  Depositor.  The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

     (i) The Depositor is duly  organized and validly  existing as a corporation
in good  standing  under  the laws of the  State of  Delaware,  with  power  and
authority to own its properties  and to conduct its business as such  properties
are currently owned and such business is presently conducted.

     (ii)  The  Depositor  is  duly  qualified  to  do  business  as  a  foreign
corporation  in good  standing  and has  obtained  all  necessary  licenses  and
approvals in all  jurisdictions  in which the ownership or lease of its property
or the conduct of its business  shall require such  qualifications  and in which
the failure to so qualify would have a material  adverse effect on the business,
properties,  assets or condition  (financial  or other) of the Depositor and the
ability of the Depositor to perform under this Trust Agreement.

     (iii) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this
Trust  Agreement  and to carry out its terms;  the  Depositor has full power and
authority  to sell  and  assign  the  property  to be sold and  assigned  to and
deposited  with  the  Trust  as part of the  Trust  and the  Depositor  has duly
authorized  such sale and  assignment  and deposit to the Trust by all necessary
corporate  action;  and the  execution,  delivery and  performance of this Trust
Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary  corporate
action.

     (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;  nor  result  in the
creation or  imposition of any Lien upon any of its  properties  pursuant to the
terms of any such indenture,  agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant
to the Basic Documents);  nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor


                                             -4-

<PAGE>



of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body,  administrative  agency
or other governmental  instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or
its properties.

        Section  2.11.  Payment of Trust Fees.  The Owner  Trustee shall pay the
Trust's  fees and  expenses  incurred  with  respect to the  performance  of the
Trust's duties under the Indenture.



                                             -5-

                                   ARTICLE III

                          Conveyance of the Home Loans;
                                  Certificates

        Section 3.01. Conveyance of the Home Loans. The Depositor,  concurrently
with the execution and delivery hereof,  does hereby transfer,  convey, sell and
assign to the Trust, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and the  Certificates
and the Credit Enhancer,  without recourse, all its right, title and interest in
and to the Home Loans. The Depositor will also provide the Trust with the Credit
Enhancement Instrument.

        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 Home Loans. In the event that the transaction 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
contribution by the Depositor  pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the conveyance
of the Home Loans pursuant to Section 3.01 and the issuance of the Certificates,
the Depositor shall be the sole Certificateholder.

     Section 3.03. The Certificates. The Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations  of a  Certificate  Percentage  Interest of 10.0000%  and integral
multiples of 0.0001% in excess thereof.

        The  Certificates  shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or
facsimile   signature  of  an  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 entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a  Certificateholder
hereunder upon such transferee's  acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in
such  transferee's  name pursuant to and upon satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 3.05.



                                             -6-

<PAGE>



        Section 3.04.  Authentication  of  Certificates.  Concurrently  with the
acquisition of the Home Loans by the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Paying Agent shall cause the Certificates in an initial  Certificate  Percentage
Interest  of 100.00% to be executed  on behalf of the Trust,  authenticated  and
delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor,  signed by its 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 the  Certificate  Paying  Agent,  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.(a) 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
Certificate  Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers  and  exchanges of  Certificates  as herein  provided.  The  Indenture
Trustee 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,  upon
surrender  for  registration  of  transfer of any  Certificate  at the office or
agency  maintained  pursuant to Section 3.09,  the Owner Trustee shall  execute,
authenticate  and  deliver  (or shall  cause the  Certificate  Registrar  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 Certificateholder,
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 Certificateholder
or  such   Certificateholder'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 service  charge  shall be made for any  registration  of  transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

        Except as described  below,  no transfer of any  Certificate or interest
therein  shall be made to any Person that is not a United  States  Person.  Each
Certificateholder shall establish its non-foreign


                                             -7-

<PAGE>



status by  submitting  to the  Certificate  Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the
Certificate of Non- Foreign Status set forth in Exhibit F hereto.

        A  Certificate  may be  transferred  to a  Certificateholder  unable  to
establish its non- foreignstatus as described in the preceding paragraph only if

payment  of  such  tax,  if  permitted  by  law,  pending  the  outcome  of such
proceedings).  The  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)  Distributions  to  Certificateholders  shall  be  subordinated  to the
creditors of the Trust, including the Noteholders.

     (d) Allocations of profits and losses, as determined for federal income tax
purposes,  shall be made to the  Certificateholders on a pro rata basis based on
the Certificate Percentage Interests thereof.

        Section   5.02.   Method  of  Payment.   Subject  to  Section   8.01(c),
distributions  required to be made to  Certificateholders on any Payment Date as
provided in Section  5.01 shall be made to each  Certificateholder  of record on
the preceding Record Date either by, in the case of any Certificateholder owning
Certificates  having  denominations  aggregating at least  10.0000%  Certificate
Percentage  Interest and integral  multiples of 0.0001% in excess thereof,  wire
transfer,  in 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  suchCertificateholder  at the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.

otherwise  required by law, the Owner  Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust
the tax returns of the Trust.

the Certificate Paying Agent shall send to each  Certificateholder the statement
or statements  provided to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent by
the Master  Servicer  pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Servicing  Agreement  with
respect to such Payment Date.

        Section 5.05. Tax  Reporting.  So long as the Depositor or any affiliate
of   the   Depositor   owns   100%   of   the   Certificates    (the   "Original
Certificateholder"),  then no separate  federal and state income tax returns and
information  returns or statements will be filed with respect to the Trust and a
federal employer identification number shall not be applied for from the IRS. If
the Original  Certificateholder is no longer the sole  Certificateholder and the
Certificates are held by the Original  Certificateholder and one or more persons
for federal income tax purposes,  the subsequent  holders of the Certificates by
their  acceptance  hereof,  agree to appoint the Original  Certificateholder  as
their agent for the tax matters partner and the Original  Certificateholder,  as
agent for such  holders,  agrees to perform  (itself  or through  its agent) all
duties  necessary to comply with federal and state income tax laws including but
not limited to applying for a federal employer  identification number and filing
tax returns.

at least A by  Moody's  and/or  Standard  & Poor's.  If such  corporation  shall
publish  reports  of  condition  at  least  annually  pursuant  to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid  supervising or examining authority,  then for the
purpose of this Section,  the combined  capital and surplus of such  corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined  capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so  published.  In case at any time the 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 with the

been so appointed and have accepted  appointment within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of  resignation,  the  resigning  Owner  Trustee may petition any
court  of  competent  jurisdiction  for the  appointment  of a  successor  Owner
Trustee.

        If at  any  time  the  Owner  Trustee  shall  cease  to be  eligible  in
accordance  with the  provisions  of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Indenture  Trustee,  or if at any time the Owner
Trustee  shall be  legally  unable  to act,  or shall be  adjudged  bankrupt  or
insolvent,  or a  receiver  of the Owner  Trustee  or of its  property  shall be
appointed,  or any  public  officer  shall  take  charge or control of the Owner
Trustee  or of its  property  or  affairs  for the  purpose  of  rehabilitation,
conservation  or  liquidation,  then the Indenture  Trustee may and shall at the
direction of the Credit  Enhancer  remove the Owner  Trustee.  If the  Indenture
Trustee shall remove the Owner  Trustee  under the authority of the  immediately
preceding  sentence,  the Indenture  Trustee shall promptly  appoint a successor
Owner  Trustee  acceptable  to the Credit  Enhancer  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

the  provisions of this Section shall not become  effective  until  acceptanceof
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee  pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment
of all fees andexpenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

such appointment  under this Trust  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,  powers,  duties and obligations of its
predecessor under this Trust Agreement,  with like effect as if originally named

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.

        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 Owner  Trustee  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  appointment,  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.

        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.

        Section 10.01. Amendments.  (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the parties hereto as specified in this Section 10.01,  provided
that any amendment, except as provided in subparagraph (e) below, be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel, to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment
(i)  complies  with the  provisions  of this Section and (ii) will not cause the
Trust to be subject to an entity level tax.

        (b) If the purpose of the amendment (as detailed  therein) is to correct
any mistake,  eliminate any  inconsistency,  cure any ambiguity or deal with any
matter not covered (i.e., to give effect to the intent of the parties), it shall
not be  necessary to obtain the consent of any  Holders,  but the Owner  Trustee
shall be furnished with (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 if determined without regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument
and (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action will not  adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Holders,  and the consent of
the Credit Enhancer shall be obtained.

        (c) 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  (i.e.,
technical  in nature),  it shall not be  necessary  to obtain the consent of 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  and the  consent  of the Credit
Enhancer shall be obtained.

        (d) If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any
provision  of the Trust  Agreement  other  than as  contemplated  in (b) and (c)
above, the amendment shall require (A) the consent of the Credit Enhancer and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action will not  adversely  affect in
any  material  respect the  interests of any Holders and (B) either (a) a letter
from the Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in the  downgrading or
withdrawal  of the rating then  assigned to any security if  determined  without
regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument  or (b) the  consent of Holders of
Certificates evidencing a majority of the Certificate Percentage Interest 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 timing of,
payments received that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the related  Certificateholder  and the Credit Enhancer,  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.

        (e) If the purpose of the amendment is to provide for the holding of any
of the  Certificates in book-entry form, it shall require the consent of Holders
of all such Certificates then outstanding; provided, that the Opinion of Counsel
specified in subparagraph (a) above shall not be required.

        (f) If the purpose of the  amendment  is to provide for the  issuance of
additional  certificates  representing an interest in the Trust, it shall not be
necessary to obtain the consent of any Holder,  but the Owner  Trustee  shall be
furnished with (A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action will not
adversely  affect in any material respect the interests of any Holders and (B) 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
determined without regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument and the consent
of the Credit Enhancer shall be obtained.

        (g) Promptly after the execution of any such  amendment or consent,  the
Owner  Trustee  shall  furnish  written  notification  of the  substance of such
amendment  or consent to each  Certificateholder,  the  Indenture  Trustee,  the
Credit Enhancer and each of the Rating  Agencies.  It shall not be necessary for
the consent of  Certificate  holders or the Indenture  Trustee  pursuant to this
Section  10.01 to approve  the  particular  form of any  proposed  amendment  or
consent,  but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.  The manner of  obtaining  such  consents  (and any other  consents  of
Certificate  holders  provided for in this Trust Agreement or in any other Basic
Document)  and of  evidencing  the  authorization  of the  execution  thereof by
Certificate  holders  shall be subject to such  reasonable  requirements  as the
Owner Trustee may prescribe.

        (h) In  connection  with the execution of any amendment to any agreement
to which  the  Trust is a party,  other  than this  Trust  Agreement,  the Owner
Trustee  shall be entitled to receive and  conclusively  rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such  amendment  is  authorized  or  permitted by the
documents  subject to such  amendment and that all  conditions  precedent in the
Basic Documents for the execution and delivery thereof by the Trust or the Owner
Trustee, as the case maybe, have been satisfied.

Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

and VIII. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise,  of any right, title or
interest of the  Certificateholders  to and in their  ownership  interest in the
Owner Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Trust Agreement or the trusts
hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of
legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

"Company," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred
to below).

               This  Certificate  is payable solely from the assets of the Owner
Trust  Estate,  and does not  represent  an  obligation  of or  interest  in the
Company,  the Seller,  the Master  Servicer,  the Indenture  Trustee,  the Owner

instrumentality  or by  the  Company,  the  Seller,  the  Master  Servicer,  the
Indenture  Trustee,  the Owner  Trustee or GMAC Mortgage  Group,  Inc. or any of
their  affiliates.  None of the Company,  the Seller,  the Master Servicer,  the

               This certifies  that [name of Holder] is the registered  owner of
the Certificate  Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth
on the face  hereof) in certain  distributions  with  respect to the Owner Trust
Estate,  consisting  primarily of the Home Loans, created by Residential Funding
Mortgage  Securities II, Inc. The Trust (as defined herein) was created pursuant
to a Trust Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2001 and an Amended and Restated
TrustAgreement,  dated as specified above (as amended and supplemented from time
to time, the "Agreement")  between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company,  as

under the Agreement),  a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which
is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings  assigned in the  Agreement.  This  Certificate is
issued  under and is subject  to the terms,  provisions  and  conditions  of the
Agreement, to which


                                             A-3

Agreement  the Holder of this  Certificate  by virtue of the  acceptance  hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.

               Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  a  distribution  will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a  Business  Day,
the Business Day immediately  following (the "Payment Date"),  commencing on the
first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is  registered  at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the
month  immediatelypreceding  the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"),
in an amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate  (based
on the  Certificate  Percentage  Interest  stated  on the  face  hereon)  of the
Certificate  Distribution  Amount, if any, required to be distributed to Holders

made as  provided  in the  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

               Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding

notice by the Certificate  Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
maintained by the  Certificate  Registrar for that purpose in the City and State

set forth above. The Certificate  Percentage  Interest hereof will be reduced to
the extent of the distributions allocable to principal.

               No transfer of this Certificate will be made unless such transfer
is exempt from  theregistration  requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
said Act and laws.  In the event  that such a  transfer  is to be made,  (i) the
Certificate  Registrar  or  the  Company  may  require  an  opinion  of  counsel
acceptable  to  and in  form  and  substance  satisfactory  to  the  Certificate
Registrar  and  the  Company  that  such  transfer  is  exempt  (describing  the
applicable  exemption and the basis  therefor) from or is being made pursuant to
the registration  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of
any  applicable  statute of any state and (ii) the  transferee  shall execute an
investment  letter  in  the  form  described  in the  Agreement  and  (iii)  the
Certificate  Registrar  shall  require the  transferee  to execute an investment
letter and a  Certificate  of  Non-Foreign  Status in the form  described by the
Agreement(or if a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status is not provided,  an Opinion
of  Counsel  as  described  in  the  Agreement),  which  investment  letter  and
certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of the Trust,  the
Owner  Trustee,  the  Certificate  Registrar or the Company.  The Holder  hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall,  and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trust, the Owner Trustee,  the Company,  the Master Servicer and the Certificate
Registrar 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.  In  connection
with any such transfer,  the Certificate Registrar (unless otherwise directed by
theCompany) will also require either (i) a representation letter, in the form of
Exhibit G to this  Agreement,  stating  that the  transferee  is not an employee
benefit or other plan subject to the


                                             A-4

prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code ("Plan"),  any person  acting,  directly or
indirectly,  on behalf of any such plan or any person  using the "plan  assets,"
within  the  meaning  of  the  Department  of  Labor  regulations  at 29  C.F.R.
ss.2510.3-101,  to effect such acquisition (collectively,  a "Plan Investor") or
(ii) if such transferee is a Plan Investor,  an opinion of counsel acceptable to
and in form and substance  satisfactory to the Company,  the Owner Trustee,  the
Master Servicer and the Certificate  Registrar,  to the effect that the purchase
or holding of the  Certificate is  permissible  under  applicable  law, will not
constitute or result in a prohibited  transaction  under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments)
and will not subject the Company,  the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Certificate  Registrar  to any  obligation  or  liability  in  addition to those
undertaken in the Agreement.

               This   Certificate  is  one  of  a  duly   authorized   issue  of
Certificates designated as Home Loan-Backed Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the  "Certificates").  All terms used in this
Certificate  which are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Agreement.

               The  Certificateholder,  by its  acceptance of this  Certificate,
agrees  that it will  look  solely to the funds on  deposit  in the  Certificate
Distribution  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 Company is personally  liable to the  Certificateholders  for any amount
payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided
in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

               The Holder of this  Certificate  acknowledges and agrees that its
rights to receive  distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated
to the rights of the  Noteholders  as  described in the  Indenture,  dated as of
September 27, 2001 between Home Loan Trust 2001-HI4  (the"Trust")  and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture").

               Each  Certificateholder,  by  its  acceptance  of a  Certificate,
covenants and agrees that such  Certificateholder will not at any time institute
against the Company, or join in any institution against the Company 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 Notes, the Agreementor any of the Basic Documents.

               The 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 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


                                             A-5

<PAGE>



downgrading  or  withdrawal  of the rating  then  assigned  to any  Security  if
determined without regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument and the counsel
of the Credit Enhancer shall be obtained.  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 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  and the  consent  of the Credit
Enhancer  shall  be  obtained.  If the  purpose  of the  amendment  is to add or
eliminate or change any provision of the  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, if determined without
regard to the Credit  Enhancement  Instrument or (b) the consent of Holders of a
majority of the Certificate Percentage Interests of the Controlling 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 and the Credit Enhancer, 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 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 in
the City and State of New York,  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 Class
and aggregate  Certificate  Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated
transferee.  The initial Certificate  Registrar appointed under the Agreement is
the Owner Trustee.

               Except  as  provided  in  the  Agreement,  the  Certificates  are
issuable  only in minimum  denominations  of a 10.0000%  Certificate  Percentage
Interest and in integral multiples of a 0.0001% Certificate  Percentage Interest
in  excess  thereof.  As  provided  in the  Agreement  and  subject  to  certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new
Certificates   of   authorized   denominations,   as  requested  by  the  Holder
surrendering the same. This Certificate is issued in the Certificate  Percentage
Interest above.

               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.

                  [FORM OF RULE 144A INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION]

             Description of Rule 144A Securities, including numbers:

                  ============================================
                  ============================================

               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 "qualifiedinstitutional 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 Amended and Restated  Trust
Agreement (the "Agreement"),  dated as of September 27, 2001 between Residential
Funding Mortgage  Securities II, Inc., as Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company
as Owner  Trustee  pursuant  to  Section  3.05 of the  Agreement  and The  Chase
Manhattan Bank 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-1

<PAGE>



                      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 Master Servicer.

                      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 Rule144A  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 Rule144A 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 Rule144A Securities may be resold, pledged
