Indenture Trustee:  U.S. Bank National Association

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company ("Financial Guaranty"), a New York stock
insurance company, in consideration of the right of Financial Guaranty to
receive monthly premiums pursuant to the Indenture and the Insurance Agreement
referred to therein, and subject to the terms of this Surety Bond, hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay each Insured Amount, to the extent
set forth in the Indenture (as defined below), to the Indenture Trustee named
above or its successor, as trustee for the Holders of the Class A Notes, except
as otherwise provided herein with respect to Preference Amounts. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Appendix A to the Indenture as in effect and executed on the
date hereof. The Class A-I-1 Notes and the Class A-II Notes are referred to
herein collectively as the "Class A Notes."

The term "Deficiency Amount" means, with respect to any Payment Date and the
Class A Notes, an amount, if any, equal to the sum of:

     (a)  for each of the Class A-I-1 Notes and the Class A-II Notes, the
          amount, if any, by which the aggregate amount of accrued interest on
          the Class A-I-1 Notes or the Class A-II Notes, as the case may be ((i)
          excluding any Relief Act Shortfalls and (ii) net of any Interest
          Shortfalls and of any amounts payable under the related Yield
          Maintenance Agreement for that Payment Date) at the applicable Note
          Rate(s) on such Payment Date exceeds the amount available for interest
          distributions on such Class or Classes of Notes on that Payment Date
          (including without limitation, from amounts on deposit in the Note
          Payment Account, but not including amounts payable under the Policy or
          the related Yield Maintenance Agreement)); and

     (b)  (i) with respect to any Payment Date that is not the Final Payment
          Date, after taking into account all amounts available under the
          Indenture (including without limitation, from amounts on deposit in
          the Note Payment Account, but not including amounts payable under the
          Policy or the Yield Maintenance Agreements), to reduce the Note
          Balance of all Class A Notes or to increase the amounts on deposit in
          the Funding Accounts, the amount by which the Note Balance of all
          Class A Notes at the close of business on such Payment Date exceeds
          the sum of the Pool Balance and the amounts on deposit in the Funding
          Accounts, in each case as of the close of business on the last day of
          the related Collection Period; or

          (ii) on the Final Payment Date, the aggregate outstanding Note Balance
          of all Class A Notes to the extent otherwise not paid on that date
          from amounts available under the Indenture, including without
          limitation, from amounts on deposit in the Note Payment Account, to
          pay such amount.

The term "Insured Amount" for any Payment Date means (1) any Deficiency Amount
for such Payment Date and (2) any Preference Amount to be paid pursuant to the
terms of this Surety Bond on the Payment Date in respect of the Class A-I-1
Notes and/or the Class A-II Notes. Insured Amounts paid in respect of clause (a)
in the definition of "Deficiency Amount" above with respect to the Class A-I-1
Notes or the Class A-II Notes are to be distributed as interest on the Class
A-I-1 Notes or the Class A-II Notes, as the case may be. Insured Amounts paid in
respect of clause (b) in the definition of "Deficiency Amount" above shall be
allocated among the Funding Accounts and the Note Balances of the Class A-I-1
Notes and the Class A-II Notes as required by the Indenture.

The term "Final Payment Date" for each Class of the Class A Notes means the
Payment Date occurring in June 2033.

Financial Guaranty will pay a Deficiency Amount with respect to the Class A
Notes by 12:00 noon (New York City Time) in immediately available funds to the
Indenture Trustee on the later of (i) the second Business Day following the
Business Day on which Financial Guaranty shall have received Notice that a
Deficiency Amount is due in respect of the Class A Notes, and (ii) the Payment
Date on which the related Deficiency Amount is payable to the Holders of the
Class A Notes pursuant to the Indenture, for disbursement to the Holders of the
Class A Notes in the same manner as other payments with respect to the Class A
Notes are required to be made. Any Notice received by Financial Guaranty after
12:00 noon New York City time on a given Business Day or on any day that is not
a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received by Financial Guaranty on
the next succeeding Business Day.

Upon payment of a Deficiency Amount hereunder, Financial Guaranty shall be fully
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the related Class A Notes to receive
the amount so paid and to exercise voting rights and consent and direction
rights of the Holders of the related Class A Notes.

Financial Guaranty's obligations with respect to the Class A Notes hereunder
with respect to each Payment Date shall be discharged to the extent funds
consisting of the related Deficiency Amount are received by the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the related Class A Notes for payment to
such Holders, as provided in the Indenture and herein, whether or not such funds
are properly applied by the Indenture Trustee.

If any portion or all of any amount that is insured hereunder that was
previously distributed to a holder of Class A Notes is recoverable and recovered
from such Holder as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court
exercising proper jurisdiction in an insolvency proceeding (a "Final Order")
(such recovered amount, a "Preference Amount"), Financial Guaranty will pay on
the guarantee described in the first paragraph hereof, an amount equal to each
such Preference Amount by 12:00 noon on the second Business Day following
receipt by Financial Guaranty on a Business Day of (x) a certified copy of the
court order requiring the return of the Preference Amount, together with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to Financial Guaranty that the order is final
and not subject to appeal (a "Final Order"), (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Financial Guaranty, irrevocably assigning to
Financial Guaranty all rights and claims of the Indenture Trustee and/or such
Holder of the Class A Notes relating to or arising under any Class A Notes
against the debtor who paid such Preference Amount and constituting an
appropriate instrument, in form satisfactory to Financial Guaranty, appointing
Financial Guaranty as the agent of the Indenture Trustee and/or such Holder in
respect of such Preference Amount, including without limitation in any legal
proceeding related to the Preference Amount, and (z) a Notice appropriately
completed and executed by the Indenture Trustee or such Holder, as the case may
be. Such payment shall be made to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not
to the Indenture Trustee or Holder of the related Class A Notes directly (unless
the Holder has previously paid such amount to such receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee named in such Final Order in which case payment
shall be made to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Holder upon
delivery of proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Financial
Guaranty). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Financial Guaranty
be (i) required to make any payment under this Surety Bond in respect of any
Preference Amount to the extent such Preference Amount is comprised of amounts
previously paid by Financial Guaranty hereunder, or (ii) obligated to make any
payment in respect of any Preference Amount, which payment represents a payment
of the principal amount of any Class A Notes, prior to the time Financial
Guaranty otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect of such
principal, in which case Financial Guaranty shall pay the balance of the
Preference Amount when such amount otherwise would have been required.

Any of the documents required under clauses (x) through (z) of the preceding
paragraph that are received by Financial Guaranty after 12:00 noon New York City
time on a given Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be
deemed to have been received by Financial Guaranty on the next succeeding
Business Day. If any notice received by Financial Guaranty is not in proper form
or is otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making a claim under this Surety
Bond, it will be deemed not to have been received by Financial Guaranty, and
Financial Guaranty will promptly so advise the Indenture Trustee, and the
Indenture Trustee may submit an amended Notice. All payments made by Financial
Guaranty hereunder in respect of Preference Amounts will be made with Financial
Guaranty's own funds.

This Surety Bond is non-cancelable for any reason, including nonpayment of any
premium. The premium on this Surety Bond is not refundable for any reason,
including the payment of any Class A Notes prior to their respective maturities.
This Surety Bond shall expire and terminate without any action on the part of
Financial Guaranty or any other Person on the date that is the later of (i) the
date that is one year and one day following the date on which the Class A Notes
shall have been paid in full and (ii) if any insolvency proceeding with respect
to which the Depositor is the debtor has been commenced on or prior to the date
specified in clause (i) above, the 30th day after the entry of a final,
non-appealable order in resolution or settlement of such proceeding.

A monthly premium shall be due and payable as provided in the Indenture and the
Insurance Agreement.

This Surety Bond is subject to and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York. The proper venue for any action or proceeding on this Surety Bond
shall be the County of New York, State of New York. The insurance provided by
this Surety Bond is not covered by the New York Property/Casualty Insurance
Security Fund (New York Insurance Code, Article 76).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Financial Guaranty hereby
waives, solely for the benefit of Holders of the Class A Notes, all defenses of
any kind (including, without limitation, the defense of fraud in inducement or
fact, any defense based on any duty claimed to arise from the doctrine of
"utmost good faith" or any similar or related doctrine or any other
circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety, guarantor or
any other person in law or in equity) that Financial Guaranty otherwise might
have asserted as a defense to its obligation to pay in full any amounts that
have become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Policy. Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver of any rights, remedies, claims or counterclaims that Financial Guaranty
may have with respect to the Issuer or Wachovia, or any of their affiliates,
whether acquired by subrogation, assignment or otherwise.

"Notice" means a written notice in the form of Exhibit A to this Surety Bond by
registered or certified mail or telephonic or telegraphic notice, subsequently
confirmed by written notice delivered via telecopy, telex or hand delivery from
the Indenture Trustee to Financial Guaranty specifying the information set forth
therein. "Holder" means, as to a particular Class A Note, the person (other than
the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates) who, on
the applicable Payment Date, is entitled under the terms of such Class A Note to
a distribution thereon. "Indenture" means the Indenture relating to the Class A
Notes by and among Wachovia Asset Securitization, Inc. 2003-HE2 Trust, as
Issuer, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Paying Agent, and U.S. Bank
National Association, as Indenture Trustee, dated as of July 2, 2003. "Insurance
Agreement" means the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, among Financial
Guaranty, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Seller, as Servicer and as
Paying Agent, Wachovia Asset Securitization, Inc., as Depositor, Wachovia Asset
Securitization, Inc. 2003-HE2 Trust, as Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee.
"Servicing Agreement" means the Servicing Agreement relating to the Class A
Notes by and among Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Servicer and as
Paying Agent, Wachovia Asset Securitization, Inc. 2003-HE2 Trust, as Issuer, and
U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee, dated as of July 2, 2003.

In the event that payments under any Class A Note are accelerated, nothing
herein contained shall obligate Financial Guaranty to make any payment of
principal or interest on such Class A Note on an accelerated basis, unless such
acceleration of payment by Financial Guaranty is at the sole option of Financial
Guaranty; it being understood that a payment shortfall in respect of the
redemption of any Class A Note by reason of the repurchase of the Trust Estate
pursuant to Section 8.08 of the Servicing Agreement does not constitute
acceleration for the purposes hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Financial Guaranty has caused this Surety Bond to be affixed
with its corporate seal and to be signed by its duly authorized officer in
facsimile to become effective and binding upon Financial Guaranty by virtue of
the countersignature of its duly authorized representative.
