Notes in the minimum denomination of $[25,000] and multiples of $[1,000] in

or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories,
and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Registrar.

     If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as
Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice
of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in
the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the

thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a
certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer
thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or
agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, the

authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee,
the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in

"signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in
addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange
Act.

     No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum

connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 9.6 hereof not involving any
transfer.

mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be reasonably required by it to hold the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the
Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee shall execute,
and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be
due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a
replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so
due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after
the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen
Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of
the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for
payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such
Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such
Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the
security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost
or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection
therewith.

     Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.4, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 in replacement
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 2.4 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for all tax purposes, the
Class A Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. The
Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance
of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the
applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for all purposes as
indebtedness of the Issuer.

                                    COVENANTS

     Section 3.1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Issuer will duly and
punctually pay (or will cause to be duly and punctually paid) the principal of
and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and
this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall,
pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, distribute all
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Payment Date deposited
therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and held therein for
distribution to the Noteholders for the benefit of such Noteholders and the
Insurer. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment
to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having
been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

     The Notes shall be non-recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate, as
provided in this Indenture. The Issuer shall not otherwise be liable for
payments on the Notes. If any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed
to conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.1, the provisions of this
Section 3.1 shall control.

     Section 3.2. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer will maintain in
[ ] an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby
initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing
purposes and to serve as Paying Agent with respect to the Notes. If at any time
the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer
hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.

     Section 3.3. MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. As provided in Section
8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any
Notes that are to be remitted from amounts withdrawn from the Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Distribution Account for payments on the Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer
except as provided in this Section 3.3.

     Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice
thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer shall
be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided
in Section 6.11 hereof. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other
than the Indenture Trustee) which is not, at the time of such appointment, a
Depository Institution.

     The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Indenture Trustee (and if the

                                       16
<Page>

Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the
provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent will:

          (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
     respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
     thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
     of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

          (ii) give the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer notice of any default
     by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual
     knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to
     the Notes;

          (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
     written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture
     Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

          (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the
     Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if
     at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying
     Agent at the time of its appointment; and

          (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
     withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable
     withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable
     reporting requirements in connection therewith; provided, however, that
     with respect to withholding and reporting requirements applicable to
     original issue discount (if any) on the Notes, the Issuer shall have first
     provided the calculations pertaining thereto to the Indenture Trustee.

     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct
any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same terms
as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such
payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     Any termination and release of a Trust Estate shall be done in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     Section 3.4. EXISTENCE.

          (a) Subject to Section 3.4(b) below, the Issuer will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws
of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder
is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United
States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes and the Trust Estate.

                                       17

          (b) Any successor to the Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section
10.2 of the Trust Agreement shall be the successor Owner Trustee under this
Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper, instrument or further
act to be done on the part of the parties hereto.

          (c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other succession to the
Owner Trustee, the Person succeeding to the Owner Trustee under the Trust
Agreement may exercise every right and power of the Owner Trustee under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Owner
Trustee herein.

     Section 3.5. PROTECTION OF TRUST ESTATE. The Issuer will from time to time
execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

          (i) provide further assurance with respect to a Grant of all or any
     portion of the related Trust Estate;

          (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the
     priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the
     purposes hereof;

          (iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant
     made or to be made by this Indenture;

          (iv) enforce any rights with respect to the Trust Estate; or

          (v) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of
     the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate
     against the claims of all persons and parties.

     Section 3.6. ANNUAL OPINIONS AS TO THE TRUST ESTATE.

     On or before [Date] in each calendar year, beginning in [     ], the Issuer
shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to
the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any
indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with
respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by
this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the
opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and
security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording,
filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental
hereto and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of
such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this
Indenture until [Date] of the following calendar year.

     Section 3.7. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

          (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person
from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument
or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the
validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such
other instrument or agreement.

          (b) The Issuer may contract with or otherwise obtain the assistance of
other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and
any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee
in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by
the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Administrator and
[         ] to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

          (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Transaction
Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate,
including but not limited to (i) filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing
statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this
Indenture, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and (ii) recording or causing to be recorded all Mortgages,
Assignments of Mortgage, all intervening Assignments of Mortgage and all
assumption and modification agreements required to be recorded by the terms of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in
accordance with and within the time periods provided for in this Indenture
and/or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Except as otherwise
expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify,
supplement or terminate any Transaction Document or any provision thereof
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Holders of at
least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

          (d) Subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if the
Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an Master Servicer Termination
Event under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify
the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Insurer, the Master Servicer and the
Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any,
the Master Servicer is taking with respect of such default. If such a Master
Servicer Termination Event shall arise from the failure of the Master Servicer
to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Issuer shall take all
reasonable steps available to it to remedy or cause to be remedied such failure.

          (e) Subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as
promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Master
Servicer of the Master Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 7.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, a successor master servicer (the "Successor
Master Servicer") shall be appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Master
Servicer's duties as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans as provided herein,
it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture
Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions

                                       19
<Page>

of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its
duties as successor Master Servicer and the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. In
case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor Master Servicer under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as
Successor Master Servicer any one of its Affiliates acceptable to the Insurer,
provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such
Affiliate in such capacity as Successor Master Servicer.

          (f) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate
or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination,
waiver or surrender of, the terms of the Trust Estate (except to the extent
otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents), or waive timely performance or observance by the Master Servicer or
the Depositor under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that any such
amendment shall not (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, collections of payments on mortgage loans, (B) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments that are required to be made on a
Note without the consent of the affected Noteholder, (C) impair the right of any
Noteholder to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the
Agreement, or (D) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that is required
to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the
outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, the Issuer
agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer to
do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such
agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee
or the Insurer may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

     Section 3.8. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the
Issuer shall not, unless the Insurer otherwise consents in writing:

          (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or the Sale and
     Servicing Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any
     of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the
     Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee and
     consented to by the Insurer;

          (ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or
     interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly
     withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any
     present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied
     or assessed upon any part of the related Trust Estate;

          (iii) engage in any business or activity other than as permitted by
     the Trust Agreement or other than in connection with, or relating to, the
     issuance of Notes pursuant to this Indenture and the Ownership Interest
     pursuant to the Trust Agreement, or amend the Trust Agreement as in effect
     on the Closing Date other than in accordance with Section 11.1 thereof;

                                       20
<Page>

          (iv) issue debt obligations under any other indenture;

          (v) incur or assume any indebtedness or guaranty any indebtedness of
     any Person, except for such indebtedness as may be incurred by the Issuer
     in connection with the issuance of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture;

          (vi) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part or merge or consolidate
     with any other Person;

          (vii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be
     impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated,
     subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released
     from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this
     Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien,
     charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance
     (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or
     otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any
     interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics'
     liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any
     of the Mortgaged Properties and arising solely as a result of an action or
     omission of the related Mortgagor) or (C) permit the lien of this Indenture
     not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any
     such tax, mechanics' or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate;

          (viii) [reserved]; or

          (ix) take any other action or fail to take any action which may cause
     the Issuer to be taxable as (a) an association pursuant to Section 7701 of
     the Code and the corresponding regulations or (b) a taxable mortgage pool
     pursuant to Section 7701(i) of the Code and the corresponding regulations.

     Section 3.9. ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Issuer will deliver to
the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year [ ]), an Officer's
Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer's
Certificate, that:

          (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of
     its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized
     Officer's supervision; and

          (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officer's knowledge, based on such
     review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under
     this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in its
     compliance with any such condition or covenant, specifying each such
     default known to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

     Section 3.10. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER.

     All covenants of the Issuer in this Indenture are covenants of the Issuer
and are not covenants of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee is, and any
successor Owner Trustee under

                                       21
<Page>

the Trust Agreement will be, entering into this Indenture solely as Owner
Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its respective individual capacity,
and in no case whatsoever shall the Owner Trustee or any such successor Owner
Trustee be personally liable on, or for any loss in respect of, any of the
statements, representations, warranties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder,
as to all of which the parties hereto agree to look solely to the property of
the Issuer.

     Section 3.11. MASTER SERVICER'S OBLIGATIONS. The Issuer shall cause the
Master Servicer to comply with its obligations under the terms of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

     Section 3.12. RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. The Issuer shall not, directly or
indirectly, (i) pay any dividend or make any distribution (by reduction of
capital or otherwise), whether in cash, property, securities or a combination

Issuer or otherwise with respect to any ownership or equity interest or security
in or of the Issuer or to the Master Servicer, (ii) redeem, purchase, retire or
otherwise acquire for value any such ownership or equity interest or security or
(iii) set aside or otherwise segregate any amounts for any such purpose;
provided, however, that the Issuer may make, or cause to be made (x)

     Section 3.14. NOTICE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Issuer shall give the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies prompt written notice of
each Event of Default hereunder, each default on the part of the Master Servicer
of its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and each default on
the part of the Depositor of its obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

     Section 3.15. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS. Upon request of the Indenture
Trustee or the Insurer, the Issuer will execute and deliver such further

          supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee,
          in form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the due and
          punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes and to

          interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the
          Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other
          Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
          purchasers from the Issuer;

              (ii) the Collateral constitutes "general intangibles" within the
          meaning of the UCC;

              (iii) immediately prior to its Grant of the Collateral provided
          for herein, the Issuer had good title to, and was the sole owner of,
          the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien of any Person;

              (iv) the Issuer has received all consents and approvals required
          by the terms of the Collateral for the transfer to the Indenture
          Trustee of its rights and interests therein;

              (v) the Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days,
          the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper

          order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to
          the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and

          Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer has not pledged,
          assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed
          any of the Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and

<Page>

or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section 5.1 specifically dealt
with), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture,
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or in any certificate or other writing
delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been
incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been
made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or
condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect
shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days after
there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by
the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer
or the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, a written
notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and

assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally
to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of any action by the
Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

     The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor and the
Insurer within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the
form of an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice
and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c) above,
its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

     Section 5.2. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Insurer or upon the prior written
direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than [51]% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, with the written consent of the Insurer, may
declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon
any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall
become immediately due and payable.

                                       29
<Page>

     At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the related Notes, with the written consent of the Insurer, by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

          (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay:

              (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all
          other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if
          the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not
          occurred; and

              (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder
          and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
          of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

          (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal
     of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been
     cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12 below.

     No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

     Section 5.3. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

          (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default occurs in the payment of
any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default occurs in the payment of
the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same
becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days,
the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer if the
Insurer has made a payment under the Insurance Policy, pay to the Indenture
Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and
interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at
such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes and in addition thereto such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and its agents and counsel.

          (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee may, and shall at the direction of the
Insurer, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

                                       30
<Page>

          (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, with the consent of the Insurer, and shall at the written direction
of the Insurer or of the Holders of [51]% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, with the consent of the Insurer, as more particularly provided in Section
5.4 below, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Noteholders and the Insurer, [by such appropriate Proceedings as the Insurer
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights] whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

          (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership
interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings
relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered by intervention in such
Proceedings with the consent of or at the direction of the Insurer or otherwise:

              (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
          principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to
          file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
          in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any
          claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each
          predecessor Indenture Trustee and its agents, attorneys and counsel,
          and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and
          all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
          Indenture Trustee (except as a result of negligence or bad faith)),
          and of the Noteholders and the Insurer allowed in such Proceedings;

              (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote
          on behalf of the Holders of Notes and the Insurer in any election of a
          trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in
          any such Proceedings;

              (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
          or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
          received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders, the Indenture
          Trustee and the Insurer on their behalf; and

              (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
          may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
          Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Holders of Notes allowed in any
          judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its
          property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator,

                                       31
<Page>

          custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby
          authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the
          Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall
          consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay
          to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
          reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
          Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
          and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances
          made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee
          except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

          (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Noteholder or the Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Noteholder or the Insurer in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to
vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

          (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

          (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any
Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

     Section 5.4. REMEDIES; PRIORITIES.

          (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing of
which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the

the Insurer, shall or, if an Insurer Default shall be continuing, at the

          take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
          and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the related Noteholders or
          the Insurer; and

              (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
          interest therein in a commercially reasonable manner, at one or more
          public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted
          by law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Insurer and the Holders of 100% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full
all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest and
to reimburse the Insurer for any unreimbursed Insured Payments and any other
amounts due the Insurer under the Insurance and Reimbursement Agreement or (C)
the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to
provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and
payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Insurer and the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

          (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article V, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent in respect of
amounts due on the Senior Interest Participation shall pay out the money or
property in the following order:

              FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee Fee then
          due and any costs or expenses incurred by it in connection with the
          enforcement of the remedies provided for in this Article V and to the
          Owner Trustee for the Owner Trustee Fee then due;

              SECOND: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
          for interest pro rata among the Holders of the Notes, according to the
          amounts due and payable on such Notes;

              THIRD: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
          for principal, pro rata, among the Holders of the Notes according to
          the amounts due and payable until the Class A Note Principal Amount is
          reduced to zero;

              FOURTH: to the Insurer, any other amounts owed to the Insurer
          under the Insurance and Reimbursement Agreement; and

                                       33
<Page>

              FIFTH: to the Owner Trustee, as applicable, for any amounts to be
          distributed, to the holder of the Ownership Interest, in the manner
          set forth in Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to be made to the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.4. At least 15
days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date
and the amount to be paid.

     Section 5.5. OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE TRUST ESTATE. If the Notes have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 above following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, but need
not (but shall at the written direction of the Insurer), elect to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the
Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes (although the parties hereto understand
that there exists the possibility of a shortfall in collections of the Mortgage
Loans), and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

     Section 5.6. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless the Insurer has otherwise consented in writing thereto
and:

          (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

          (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such
Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture
Trustee hereunder;

          (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in complying with such request;

          (d) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings;
and

          (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given
to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

     It is understood and intended that no Noteholders shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or

                                       34
<Page>

prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

     Section 5.7. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the
respective due date thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) to the extent funds are
available therefor out of the Trust Estate and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

     Section 5.8. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Indenture Trustee
or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such
Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 5.9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 5.10. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT A WAIVER. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

     Section 5.11. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Insurer (so long as no Insurer
Default exists) or if an Insurer Default exists the Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes with the consent of the Insurer, shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any
remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

          (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;

                                       35
<Page>

          (b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4 above, any direction
to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be in
writing by the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or the Holders of
Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
with the consent of the Insurer;

          (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 above have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant
to such Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of
Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell
or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

          (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

     Notwithstanding the rights of the Noteholders set forth in this Section
5.11, subject to Section 6.1 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

     Section 5.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2 above, the
Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, with the
consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists), may waive any
past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in
the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of
a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

     Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to
have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

     Section 5.13. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed
to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for
the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for
the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or

                                       36
<Page>

after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     Section 5.14. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

     Section 5.15. ACTION ON NOTES. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any
of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b) above.

     Section 5.16. PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS.

          (a) Promptly following a request from the Insurer or the Indenture
Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer to do so, the Issuer shall take all
such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, may
request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and
the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer
under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and to exercise
any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the
extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as
applicable, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

          (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, subject to the rights of the Insurer hereunder and under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, may, and at the direction (which direction shall
be in writing or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the
Insurer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount if there is an
Insurer Default shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
claims of the Issuer against the Depositor or the Master Servicer under or in
connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power
to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations
to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction,
approval, extension, or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any
right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.1. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

          (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

              (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
          only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
          no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
          against the Indenture Trustee; and

              (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture
          Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
          the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates
          or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
          requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall
          examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
          conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

          (c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

              (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
          this Section 6.1;

              (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
          judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is
          proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
          pertinent facts; and

              (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
          any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with
          a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11 above or any
          direction from the Insurer that the Insurer is entitled to give under
          the terms of the Transaction Documents.

          (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section
6.1.

          (e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any
money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with
the Issuer.

          (f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee shall be segregated
from other funds except to the extent permitted by law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                       38
<Page>

          (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture
shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer,
the Issuer or Transferor under this Indenture except during such time, if any,
as the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture.

          (h) The Indenture Trustee shall challenge or cause to be challenged
any attempt at substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the
Issuer with those of any Owner (as the term "Owner" is defined in the Trust
Agreement) in connection with any insolvency proceeding of the Issuer.

          (i) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of
the TIA.

          (j) Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and without
limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have no
duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any
agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation
statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any
such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or
redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the
payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any
lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the
Distribution Account, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Issuer, Insurer or Master Servicer delivered to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture believed by the Indenture Trustee
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.

     Section 6.2. RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting on any resolution, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
the document.

          (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require and shall be entitled to receive an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion
of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel.

                                       39
<Page>

          (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of such agent,
attorney, nominee or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.

          (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers; provided, however, that such action or omission by the
Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

          (e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or
opinion of counsel selected by it with due care with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture, the Notes and the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party, shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

          (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of the Insurer or any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture, unless the Insurer or such Noteholders shall have
offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Indenture Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

          (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Insurer or
the Majority Noteholders; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the
Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or
liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of
every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Indenture
Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand.

          (h) The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary
act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

          (i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the
powers granted hereunder.

                                       40
<Page>

          (j) The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with
the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuer, the Master Servicer or the
Administrator. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with
compliance by the Issuer or the Master Servicer with statutory or regulatory
requirements related to the Collateral or the Trust Estate. The Indenture
Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or
warranties with respect to the Collateral or the Trust Estate or the validity or
sufficiency of any assignment of the Collateral or the Trust Estate to the
Indenture Trustee.

          (k) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying
Agent or Registrar hereunder, the rights, protection, immunities and indemnities
afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be
afforded to such Paying Agent or Registrar.

     Section 6.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The Indenture Trustee
in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 below.

     Section 6.4. INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be (i) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) shall not be accountable for the
Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes or (iii) responsible for any
statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection
with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's
certificate of authentication.

     Section 6.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default occurs and is continuing and
if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Insurer. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of an Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer has received written notice or has actual knowledge thereof.
The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor notice of the Default within 30 days after it occurs at the expense of
the Issuer. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or
interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the
Noteholders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

     Section 6.6. REPORTS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. The Indenture Trustee
shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable
such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In addition,
upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such
information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is reasonably available to
the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform its federal and state
income tax reporting obligations.

     Section 6.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. As compensation for its services
hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, on each Payment
Date, the Indenture Trustee's Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (which

                                       41
<Page>

compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust) and shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Indenture
Trustee shall be indemnified from the Trust Estate against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify
the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer
shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be entitled to any such reimbursement of any expense or to
indemnification against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture
Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no
event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

     The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) hereof with respect to the Issuer, the
expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     Section 6.8. REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. No resignation or removal of
the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee acceptable to the Insurer pursuant to this Section. The Indenture
Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Insurer. The
Insurer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes (with
the prior written consent of the Insurer) may remove the Indenture Trustee by so
notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (if given by such Noteholders)
and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. The
Issuer shall (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) remove the
Indenture Trustee if:

          (a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 below;

          (b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

          (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture
Trustee or its property; or

          (d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

                                       42
<Page>

     If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of the
Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and to the Issuer.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The
retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

     If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee.

     If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 below, any
Noteholder may (with the consent of the Insurer) petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.8, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 above shall continue for
the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

     Section 6.9. SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11 below.

     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

     Section 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute

                                       43
<Page>

and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a
co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, such title to the Trust
Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 6.11 below and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment
of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8
hereof.

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

              (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
          imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
          and exercised or performed by the Indenture 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
          Indenture 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 Indenture 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
          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 Indenture Trustee;

              (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
          any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

              (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation
          of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

          (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture
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 Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI. 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, jointly with the Indenture
Trustee, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, 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 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall remain
primarily liable for all actions of a co-trustee.

instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.

their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

          (c) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of
the term "Outstanding";

          (d) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or
liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4 herein;

          (e) modify any provision of this Section except to increase any
percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of
this Indenture or the Transaction Documents cannot be modified or waived without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

          (f) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as
to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal
due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the
individual components of such calculation); or

                                       50
<Page>

          (g) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity
with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or,
except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this
Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of
any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture provided
further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax.

     The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination
shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

     In connection with requesting the consent of the Noteholders pursuant to
this Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes
to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth
in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture at the Issuer's
expense. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section
9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but
it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

     Section 9.3. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 herein, shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions
precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture have been met. The
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     Section 9.4. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall
be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the
Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     Section 9.5. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment of this
Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect
so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 9.6. REFERENCE IN NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the

                                       51
<Page>

Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in
the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

                                    ARTICLE X

                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

     Section 10.1. REDEMPTION.

     The Master Servicer may effect an early termination of the Notes pursuant
to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on or after any Payment Date
on which the Pool Balance declines to [__%] or less of the aggregate Cut-Off
Date Pool Balance and the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans together with
all amounts due and owing to the Insurer for unpaid premiums and unreimbursed
Insured Payments and any other amounts then due and owing under the Insurance
and Reimbursement Agreement to the Insurer, together with interest thereon as
provided under the Insurance and Reimbursement Agreement, have been paid,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

     The Indenture Trustee shall furnish notice of any such redemption in
accordance with Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.1. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC.

          (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer made to the
Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and to the Insurer (i) an
Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with,
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by
the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants
meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 11.1, except that, in the
case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such
documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no
additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

     Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

          (1) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has
     read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the
     definitions herein relating thereto;

                                       52
<Page>

          (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
     investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
     certificate or opinion are based;

          (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such
     signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
     enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
     such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

          (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory,
     such condition or covenant has been complied with.

          (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture
(except in the case of the release of Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement), the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation
imposed in Section 11.1(a) herein or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of
such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to
be so deposited.

              (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture
          Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
          any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above,
          the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
          Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of
          the Collateral, other property or securities to be so deposited and of
          all other such Collateral, other property or securities made the basis
          of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the
          then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the
          certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause
          (ii), is 10% or more of the aggregate Class A Note Principal Amount of
          the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect
          to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the
          Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than
          either (A) $25,000 or (B) one percent of the aggregate Class A Note
          Principal Amount of the Notes.

              (iii) Whenever any property or securities are to be released from
          the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
          Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
          opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value
          (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities
          proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person
          the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture
          in contravention of the provisions hereof.

              (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture
          Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
          any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above,
          the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
          Certificate as to the same matters if the fair

                                       53
<Page>

          value of the property or securities and of all other property or
          securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the
          commencement of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the
          certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv),
          equals 10% or more of the aggregate Class A Note Principal Amount of
          the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of
          any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set
          forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or
          less than one percent of the then aggregate Class A Note Principal
          Amount of the Notes.

     Section 11.2. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE. In any case
where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified
by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or
give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons
as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.

     Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of
Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the
Master Servicer, the Transferor or the Issuer, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Master Servicer, the
Transferor or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

     Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI hereof.

     Section 11.3. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in

                                       54
<Page>

and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed
by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except
as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Section 6.1 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee
and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.

          (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

          (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.

     Section 11.4. NOTICES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or
permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be
made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

          (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

          (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Household Mortgage Loan Trust
200_-_, in care of [          ], Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with
copies to the Administrator addressed to: [        ], Attention: Indenture Trust
Administration and to the Master Servicer addressed to: [          ], or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the
Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

          (c) the Insurer, by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholders shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage pre-paid, or personally delivered or telecopied to:
[          ], Attention: [          ]. The Insurer shall promptly transmit any
notice received by it from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders
to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed
by certified mail, return receipt

                                       55
<Page>

requested, to (i) in the case of [       ], at the following address: [        ]
and (ii) in the case of [           ], at the following address: [            ];
or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by
written notice to the other parties.

     Section 11.5. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture provides
for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and
not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular
Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall
conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

     In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of
a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to
give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder.

     Section 11.6. RIGHTS OF THE INSURER TO EXERCISE RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.

     By accepting its Note, each Noteholder agrees that unless an Insurer
Default exists, the Insurer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the
Noteholders as specified under this Agreement without any further consent of the
Noteholders. Any right conferred to the Insurer hereunder shall be suspended and
shall run to the benefit of the Noteholders during any period in which there
exists an Insurer Default, provided, however, that during an Insurer Default,
the consent of the Insurer must be obtained with respect to any amendments that
may materially adversely affect the Insurer.

     Section 11.7. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to
be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act, such required provision shall control.

     The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.

                                       56
<Page>

     Section 11.8. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 11.9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

     Section 11.10. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

     Section 11.11. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, the Insurer, and any
other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest
in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     Section 11.12. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

     Section 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     Section 11.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     Section 11.15. RECORDING OF INDENTURE. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

     Section 11.16. TRUST OBLIGATION. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent,

                                       57
<Page>

officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign
of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except
as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their
individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in
the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner
Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

     Section 11.17. NO PETITION. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time institute against the Transferor (and any
wholly-owned subsidiary thereof), the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Transferor (and any wholly-owned
subsidiary thereof), the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Issuer 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 Notes, this
Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents.

     Section 11.18. INSPECTION. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the
Insurer, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified
public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts
with the Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. The Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (to the extent described in the
Insurance and Reimbursement Agreement) shall and shall cause its representatives
to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may
be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment
are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may
reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations
hereunder.

     Section 11.19. INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT. In
the event certain provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the provisions
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

     Section 11.20. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Indenture will inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the Noteholders, the Note
Owners, the Insurer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

right or obligation hereunder.

                                (REVERSE OF NOTE)

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Trust,
designated as its [ ] Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, all issued
under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes. The Class A Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     The Class A Notes are and will be secured by the collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

     Principal of the Class A Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an
amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the [25]th day of each
month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day, commencing in [          ].

     As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall
be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Maturity Date and any termination
date pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default under the
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at
the direction or upon the prior written consent of the Holders of the Notes
representing not less than [51]% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, shall
have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided
in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A Notes entitled thereto.

     Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date,
together with the related installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to, or by check mailed to, the Person whose name appears as the
Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note
Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with
respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be
made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated
by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at
the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the
applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any
one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as
provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid
principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in
the name of and on behalf of the Trust, will notify the Person who was the
Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by
notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such
purposes located in New York, New York.

     As provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Class A Notes may be
redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Master Servicer, on any
Payment Date on and after the date on which the Pool Balance is less than or
equal to [ ]% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Trust pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible
guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which
requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program"
as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of
transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Trust may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Trust or
(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully
liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration
for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call
owing to such entity.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting
the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any
time institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution
against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Transaction Documents.

     The Trust has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Trust
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each
Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat

                                       A-5
<Page>

the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Trust, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or
as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of
the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trust and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time
by the Trust with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of
all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Trust with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more
Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

     The term "Trust" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Trust
under the Indenture.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided
in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

     This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions,
and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder
shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Trust, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Transaction Documents, none of the Trust in its individual
capacity, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Trust, or any of their respective partners,
beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns
shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations

                                       A-6
<Page>

or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its
acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Trust for any
and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or
in this Note.
